| International Atomic Time International Atomic Time ( TAI, from the French name Temps Atomique International) is a high-precision atomic coordinate time standard based on the notional passage of proper time on Earth's geoid. It is the principal realisation of Terrestrial Time, and the basis for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) which is used for civil timekeeping all over the Earth's surface. , TAI was exactly 34 seconds ahead of UTCleap seconds in UTC since 1972 (the last leap second was added on December 31, 2008).

| British thermal unit The British thermal unit (BTU or Btu) is a traditional unit of energy equal to about 1.06 kilojoules. It is used in the power, steam generation, heating and air conditioning industries.

| Blood alcohol content Blood alcohol content or blood alcohol concentration (abbreviated BAC) is the concentration of alcohol in a person's blood. BAC is most commonly used as a metric of intoxication for legal or medical purposes. It is usually measured in terms of mass per volume, but can also be measured in terms of mass per mass. Blood alcohol concentration is given in many different units and notations, but they are all relatively synonymous with each other numerically. Blood_alcohol_content | |
