Microwatt

A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.

History/Origin

The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).

Current Use

Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.


Pound-Foot/second

A pound-foot per second (lbf·ft/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, equivalent to one pound-force acting through a distance of one foot per second.

History/Origin

The pound-foot per second has been used primarily in engineering contexts within the Imperial system to quantify power, especially in mechanical and automotive applications, though it is less common than other units like horsepower.

Current Use

Today, the pound-foot per second is rarely used; it is mainly referenced in historical data or specific engineering calculations involving Imperial units, with the more standard unit of power being the horsepower or the watt in SI units.
