Blood leaks into tissues under the skin and causes the black-and-blue color. As bruises (contusions) heal, usually within 2 to 4 weeks, they often turn colors, including purplish black, reddish blue, or yellowish green. Sometimes the area of the bruise spreads down the body in the direction of gravity.
(KiloBits or KiloBytes per SECond) One thousand bits or bytes per second. Kbps is a measurement of peripheral data transfer or network transmission speed. The correct abbreviation is b for bits and B for bytes; however, b and B are often interchanged. See space/time, Mbps and Gbps. Lower Case b - Kbps, Kb/sec, Kb/s Kilobits per second is used to rate serial data transmission devices such as analog modems.
Peter Cade/Photodisc/Getty Images. Definition: The data rate of a computer network connection is normally measured in units of bits per second (bps) . Network equipment makers typically rate their products using related, larger units of Kbps, Mbps and Gbps.1  one kilobit per second (Kbps) equals 1000 bits per second (bps) . one kilobit per second (Kbps) equals 1000 bits per second (bps) . ( 2 Note: Kbps is sometimes also written as âkbpsâ - both carry the same meaning.). 3  one megabit per second (Mbps) equals 1000 Kbps or one million bps. 4  one gigabit per second (Gbps) equals 1000 Mbps or one million Kbps or one billion bps.
