Although there are few examples of such systems competitive with traditional analysis techniques, potential advantages include size / portability, speed, and cost.

Although the pinyin method is easier to learn, root shapes are often preferred by professional typists due to their faster input speed.

Although the theory of special relativity forbids objects to have a relative velocity greater than light speed, and general relativity reduces to special relativity in a local sense ( in small regions of spacetime where curvature is negligible ), general relativity does allow the space between distant objects to expand in such a way that they have a " recession velocity " which exceeds the speed of light, and it is thought that galaxies which are at a distance of more than about 14 billion light-years from us today have a recession velocity which is faster than light.

* Although the mean speed of the electron in hydrogen is only 1 / 137th of the speed of light, many modern experiments are sufficiently precise that a complete theoretical explanation requires a fully relativistic treatment of the problem.

Although he failed to detect any parallax, thereby placing a lower limit on the distance to stars, he discovered another effect, stellar aberration, an effect which depends not on position ( as in parallax ), but on speed.

:" Although theoretical calculations can be made today, the eventually attainable range of chemical reaction cycles, error rates, speed of operation, and thermodynamic efficiencies of such bottom-up manufacturing systems cannot be reliably predicted at this time.

Although vehicles with higher clearances ( such as trucks ) are typically immune from this effect, the force of striking any 270 + kg ( 600 + pound ) object at high speed should not be underestimated.

Although many variations of impulse turbines existed prior to Pelton's design, they were less efficient than Pelton's design ; the water leaving these wheels typically still had high speed, and carried away much of the energy.

Although this form of speed skating is newer, it is growing faster than long-track speed skating, largely because short track can be done on a regular ice rink rather than a long-track oval.

Although this is a relatively fast movement, perhaps a second or so while transmission is in neutral, it allows the engine speed to drop and synchronize engine and transmission revolutions relative to the road speed.

Although walking speeds can vary greatly depending on factors such as height, weight, age, terrain, surface, load, culture, effort, and fitness, the average human walking speed is about 5. 0 kilometres per hour ( km / h ), or about 3. 1 miles per hour ( mph ).

Although this arrangement provided a neat physical coupling between the controller and the disk, single-sector internal transfers and dependence on the speed of the host machine to transfer data to memory meant that a trial-and-error approach was still needed to set the disk interleave correctly to ensure optimum transfer rates.

Although this is only about, when comparing this speed with that of higher organisms in terms of number of lengths moved per second, it is extremely fast.

Although European designers were moving towards heavier 30 mm weapons for better hitting power, the U. S. initially concentrated on a powerful. 60 caliber ( 15 mm ) cartridge designed for a pre-war anti-tank rifle, expecting that the cartridge's high muzzle velocity would be beneficial for improving hit ratios on high speed targets.

Although sequences that are closer to truly random can be generated using hardware random number generators, pseudorandom numbers are important in practice for their speed in number generation and their reproducibility, and they are thus central in applications such as simulations ( e. g., of physical systems with the Monte Carlo method ), in cryptography, and in procedural generation.
