103 Glossary adapter-A device that provides a compatible connection between two units. For example, the tablet's internal display adapter receives information from the software and translates it into images on the screen. An adapter can take a number of forms, from a microprocessor to a simple connector. An intelligent adapter (one that is capable of doing some processing) may also be called a controller. Alternating Current (AC)-The type of power usually supplied to residential and commercial wall outlets. AC reverses its direction at regular intervals. Compare Direct Current (DC). application-A set of instructions that can be executed by a tablet. App shortcut-An application icon that can be placed on a Home screen. Touching one opens the app without having to first open the Apps screen. See also icon. B backup-A copy of a file, usually on a removable disk, kept in case the original file is lost or damaged. baud rate-The speed at which a communication device, such as a printer or modem, transmits information. Baud rate is the number of signal changes per second (not necessarily the same as bits per second). See also bits per second. bits per second (bps)-A way of measuring the speed at which information is passed between two devices. This is the basic unit of measure used in modem communications, and is similar, but not identical, to the baud rate. See also baud rate. Bluetooth-A proprietary open wireless technology standard that uses short wavelength radio transmissions to exchange data over short distances. Bluetooth can transmit from fixed and mobile devices, and provides a high level of security. Bookmark-A Shortcut can be created and placed on a Home screen from a selected browser bookmark. Touching the icon opens the Web browser to the chosen bookmarked page. See also icon. boot-To start the tablet. The term "boot" originates from bootstrap program (as in "pulling itself up by its bootstraps"), a program that loads and initializes the operating system. See also reboot.
