Množina: bauds

(Homonym: bawd).
(Computer science) A data transmission rate (bits/second) for modems; SYN. baud rate.
In common usage the baud rate of a modem is how many bitsit can send or receive per second. Technically, baud is the number of times per second that the carrier signal shifts value - for example a 1200 bit-per-second modem actually runs at 300 baud, but it moves 4 bits per baud (4 x 300= 1200 bits per second).
unit of data transmission speed of one bit per second.
unit of electrical signaling speed equal to one pulse per second.
In computing, unit that measures the speed of data transmission. One baud represents a transmission rate of one bit per second.
One signal change per second, a measure of data transmission speed. Named after the French engineer and telegrapher Jean-Maurice-Emile Baudot and originally used to measure the transmission speed of telegraph equipment, the term now most commonly refers to the data transmission speed of a modem. See also baud rate.

The speed at which a modem can transmit data. The baud rate is the number of events, or signal changes, that occur in one second—not the number of bits per second (bps) transmitted. In high-speed digital communications, one event can actually encode more than one bit, and modems are more accurately described in terms of bits per second than baud rate. For example, a so-called 9600-baud modem actually operates at 2400 baud but transmits 9600 bits per second by encoding 4 bits per event (2400 x 4 = 9600) and thus is a 9600-bps modem. Compare bit rate, transfer rate.
The speed at which data is transmitted. Measured in symbols per second. This is not the same as bits-per-second since each symbol can carry several bits of information.

(1821-1867) French poet, author of The Flowers of Evil, noted for macabre imagery and evocative language. Regarded as proto-symbolist; developed prose poetry into a major genre.
(1821-1867) French poet. His immensely influential work combined rhythmical and musical perfection with a morbid romanticism and eroticism, finding beauty in decadence and evil. His first and best-known book of verse was Les Fleurs du mal/Flowers of Evil 1857. He was one of the main figures in the development of Symbolism.
The refinement and subtlety of feeling in Les Fleurs du mal made it an important influence on Modernist literature. Later volumes include Les Paradis artificiels 1860. He also published studies of novelists Honoré de Balzac and Gustave Flaubert, and an autobiographical novel, La Fanfarlo 1847. He wrote regularly as an art critic and his essay The Painter of Modern Life, which advocated the use of contemporary subject matter for painters, was an influence on Edouard Manet and the Impressionists.
