Bandwidth in web hosting 2008-07-29 06:54:00 In website hosting, the term "bandwidth" is often used to describe the amount of data transferred to or from the website or server within a prescribed period of time. Another more specific phrase used for this meaning of bandwidth is monthly data transfer.Web hosting companies often quote a monthly bandwidth limit for a website, for example 500 gigabytes per month. If the total amount of data down Read more:Bandwidth
No title 2008-07-29 06:54:00 Bandwidth (computing)In computer networking and computer science, digital bandwidth or just bandwidth is the capacity for a given system to transfer data over a connection. It is measured as a bit rate expressed in in bits/s or multiples of it (kb/s Mb/s etc.). Digital bandwidth should not be confused with the network throughput, which is the average rate of successful data transfer through a conn
Applications of Frequency 2008-07-29 06:53:00 Aside from the obvious application of converting bulk amounts of power from one distribution standard to another, frequency changers are also used to control the speed and the torque of AC motors.

Frequency changer 2008-07-29 06:52:00 A frequency changer or frequency converter is an electronic device that converts alternating current (AC) of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. The device may also change the voltage, but if it does, that is incidental to its principal purpose.Traditionally, these devices were built out of electromechanical components such as motor-generator sets or rotary converters. But w Read more:Frequency
Frequency 2008-07-29 06:51:00 Frequency is a measure of the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency. The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.Definition and unitsFor cyclical processes, such as rotation, oscillations, or waves, frequency is defined as a number of cycles, or periods, per unit time Read more:Frequency

Network bridge 2008-07-19 02:26:00 A network bridge
connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model, and the term layer 2 switch is often used interchangeably with bridge. Bridges are similar to repeaters or network hubs, devices that connect network segments at the physical layer, however a bridge works by using bridging where traffic from one network is managed rather than simply rebroadcast t
Repeater 2008-07-19 02:26:00 A wireless repeater.A repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher level and/or higher power, or onto the other side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances without degradation.The term "repeater" originated with telegraphy and referred to an electromechanical device used to regenerate telegraph signals. Use of the term has continu
Switches 2008-07-19 02:25:00 A pair of contacts is said to be 'closed' when there is no space between them, allowing electricity to flow from one to the other. When the contacts are separated by an insulating air gap, an air space, they are said to be 'open', and no electricity can flow at typical voltages.Switches
can be and are classified according to the arrangement of their contacts in electronics fields— but electricia
Special types of Switch 2008-07-19 02:25:00 Switches can be designed to respond to any type of mechanical stimulus: for example, vibration (the trembler switch), tilt, air pressure, fluid level (the float switch), the turning of a key (key switch), linear or rotary movement (the limit switch or microswitch), or presence of a magnetic field (the reed switch).
