Valentine sounded pointed, candid and completely incapable of pressing any internal delay button.

"That would have been over an hour after it drained power from the Enterprise," Spock observed, "which implies a significant internal delay in the power storage rate."

'Phantom deadlocks' are deadlocks that are detected in a distributed system due to system internal delays, but no longer actually exist at the time of detection.

When used in conjunction with an ILS, the DME is often sited midway between the reciprocal runway thresholds with the internal delay modified so that one unit can provide distance information to either runway threshold.
