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.
Part of the Printers glossary: EPP/ECP (Enhanced Parallel Port/Enhanced Capability Port) is a standard signaling method for bi-directional parallel communication between a computer and peripheral devices that offers the potential for much higher rates of data transfer than the original parallel signaling methods.EPP is for non-printer peripherals.ECP is for printers and scanners. EPP/ECP are part of IEEE Standard 1284, which also specifies support for current signaling methods (including Centronics, the de facto standard for printer communication) so that both old and new peripherals can be accommodated.PP is for non-printer peripherals. ECP is for printers and scanners.
