The rem can be expressed in smaller units called millirems, which equal one one-thousandth of a rem.
Even when adjusted for inflation, that's less than one one-thousandth of the sales this still lithe giant racks up today.
Sharp's new finely grained silicon technology could ultimately produce transistors one-thousandth the size of current ones, well in range of holography.
Chipmakers are getting on board now that wafer-circuitry has narrowed below 90 nanometers, or one one-thousandth the width of a human hair.
After that the industry will have to move on to nonoptical techniques, such as electron beams or even X rays, which have wavelengths less than 1 nanometer, or one-thousandth of a micron.
When the effects are calculated in a standard climate model, the result is a reduction in average temperature of 0.00005oC (one twenty-thousandth of a degree Celsius, or one ten-thousandth of a degree Fahrenheit).
Earlier Thursday, new Alpha commander Frank Culbertson and Russian flight engineers Vladimir Dezhurov and Mikhail Tyurin beamed down a message marking the one-thousandth day in space for the first component of the space station, the Russian-built Zarya module.
"We're here today to wish the international space station some greetings itself because today is the one-thousandth day that the first component of the station has been on orbit , " Culbertson said as he floated in Zarya with Dezhurov and Tyurin.
Nektar therapeutic's engineering feat--the first insulin inhaler for adult diabetics--required inventing a way to turn liquid insulin into a powder of uniform particles just 2 microns wide (one one-thousandth the width of a pinhead), each containing hundreds of millions of stable insulin molecules.
Think of it this way: if we took one-thousandth of a second of footage from the femto camera video output and slowed it down to the speed of 30 seconds per frame -- the approximate speed of a standard TV broadcast -- it would take us a lifetime to watch.
The aperture will adjust from F2.9 to F8 without any prompting, and the shutter will set itself anywhere from one-thirtieth of a second to one-one thousandth of a second.
FORBES: Ten O'Clock Tech: New Digital Camera Uses Tiny Memory Card
This phenomenon is a spiral distortion of space which should if relativity is correct happen when massive bodies rotate. (In essence, such bodies drag space round with them.) Frame-dragging is predicted to cause an additional precession of one hundred-thousandth of a degree, perpendicular to that caused by the geodetic effect.
To put this in perspective, if the Earth's 6.4 billion people each did one calculation per second, we would be working at about one ten-thousandth of the speed of TeraGrid.
In a country of 1.2 billion people, a country where years of staggering economic growth annually create tens of thousands of new millionaires and a recent slowdown has done little damage to a thriving luxury goods market, far less than one ten-thousandth of the population admits they are in the top tax bracket.
