	goog.Timer.MAX_TIMEOUT_ : number Maximum timeout value. Timeout values too big to fit into a signed 32-bit integer may cause overflow in FF, Safari, and Chrome, resulting in the timeout being scheduled immediately. It makes more sense simply not to schedule these timeouts, since 24.8 days is beyond a reasonable expectation for the browser to stay open.	Code »
	goog.Timer.TICK : string Constant for the timer's event type	Code »
	goog.Timer.intervalScale : number A variable that controls the timer error correction. If the timer is called before the requested interval times intervalScale, which often happens on mozilla, the timer is rescheduled. See also this.last_	Code »
