What’s a bandwidth cap?

Bandwidth limits are set by ISPs on wired and wireless connections, often based on monthly usage measured in GB. Throttling and additional charges may apply if limits are exceeded. The issue is contentious, with ISPs citing increased demand for content and online providers fearing limitations on access. A bandwidth limit is a limit placed on […]

What’s an Ice Cap?

Ice sheets are permanent layers of ice covering continental shelves, with only two in the world: the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets. Ice caps form from compacted snow and have a jagged appearance due to glacial weathering. They are largely barren environments with only microbes living on rocks. Earth has not always had ice sheets, […]

Diff. cap. scales?

Differential Ability Scales (DAS) are a series of tests given to children to assess cognitive abilities and achievements. Developed by Dr. Colin Elliot, DAS has three levels and includes cognitive, diagnostic, and achievement subtests to evaluate strengths and weaknesses holistically. Differential Ability Scales (DAS) are a “battery” or series of tests given individually to children […]

What’s a bandwidth cap?

Bandwidth determines how much data can be downloaded per second, which affects speed. Broadband plans limit bandwidth based on speed, with higher limits being more expensive. Many plans have unlimited access, but some online services and mobile broadband have data limits. Website hosts may also place monthly bandwidth limits, and USENET newsgroup services limit accounts. […]

What’s an electric double layer cap?

Electric double layer capacitors, also known as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, can store more electric charge than ordinary capacitors due to their larger capacitance value. They use an electrochemical mechanism and an electrolyte between plates to exhibit high capacitance. They are seen as a short-term power backup solution and have potential in the field of power […]

What’s a Motor Cap?

Motor capacitors are common components in single-phase electric motors, with two categories: starting and running. Start capacitors provide an initial impulse to start the motor rotating, while run capacitors increase the power factor of the engine. Capacitor starting motors use a capacitor and starter motor winding to create a bias in the magnetic field to […]
