>
> {{TimedSemaphore}} is a specialized Semaphore implementation that also has a
> timing component: In a configurable time period a given number of permits is
> available. Threads call the semaphore's {{acquire()}} method to request a
> permit. When no more permits are available {{acquire()}} blocks the calling
> thread. At the end of the time period the permits are restored, and all
> blocking threads are waked up.
> The main use case for this class is to provide a convenient means for
> controlling the load produced by a process. When used correctly,
> {{TimedSemaphore}} ensures that only a given number of steps (e.g. database
> queries, file operations, or computations) are performed in a specific time
> period. This may be useful for many applications.
> More information including a usage example can be found in the Javadocs of
> the class. Comments or suggestions for improvements are appreciated.
