see bps.
a number system which uses a base of two. Used for
the majority of computing systems, since electrical
logic circuits are easily constructed with a small
positive (+) voltage to signify On, or True, and a
lower voltage used to represent Off or False.
the Nikon scanner can generate what are known as
binary, or bi-level, bit-mapped or high-contrast black
and white images with simply two tones, black or
white, and a pixel being either on or off.
A binary digit representing 0 or 1, true or false.
these are high contrast, bit-mapped images, used to
represent line art and typography.
color stored in triplet pixels for RGB, HSV, etc., or
quadruplet pixels for RGBÅ, YMCK, etc.
bits-per-second — this is used to measure
transmission rates of digital information and can be
used instead of Baud rate when more than one bit is
effectively sent for every cycle of the transmission
signal.
the available space to store information in any
system. "Buffer" usually refers to intermediate
storage for processes that would otherwise
'bottleneck' a system.
a parallel connecting scheme for multiple devices.
