`transfert n. 1. The movement of data from onelocation
`to another. 2. The passing of program control from one
`portion of code to another.
`transfer? vb. To move data from oneplaceto another,
`especially within a single computer. Compare transmit.
`transfer rate n. The rate at which a circuit or a communi-
`cations channeltransfers information from sourceto desti-
`nation, as over a networkorto and from a diskdrive.
`Transfer rate is measuredin units of information per unit
`of time—for example, bits per second or characters per
`second—and can be measuredeither as a raw rate, which
`is the maximum transfer speed,or as an averagerate,
`which includes gaps between blocksofdataaspart of the
`transmission time.
`
`transfer statement n. A statementin a programming
`language thattransfers the flow of execution to another
`location in the program. See also branchinstruction,
`CALLstatement, GOTO statement, jumpinstruction.
`
`transfer time n. The time elapsed betweenthestart of a
`data transfer operation and its completion.

`data withoutaltering its content; that is, to encode infor-
`mation according to predefined rules. 2. In mathematics
`a computer graphics, toalter the position,size, or nature
`of a object by movingit to another location (translation),
`making it larger or smaller (scaling), turningit (rotation),
`changingits description from one type of coordinate sys-
`tem to another, and so on.

`transient adj. 1. Fleeting, temporary, or unpredictable.
`2. Of or pertaining to the region of memory usedfor pro-
`grams, such as applications, that are read from disk stor-
`age and thatreside in memory temporarily until they are
`replaced by other programs.In this context, transient can
`also refer to the programsthemselves.3. In electronics, of
`or pertainingto a short-lived, abnormal, and unpredictable
`crease in powersupply, such as a voltage spikeor surge.
`Transient timeis the interval during which a changein
`currentor voltageis building up or decaying.
`transient suppressorn. A circuit designed to reduce or
`eliminate unwantedelectrical signals or voltages.
`transistor n. Short for transfer resistor. A solid-state cir-
`cuit component,usually with three leads, in which a volt-
`age or a current controls the flow of another current. The
`transistor can serve many functions, including those of
`amplifier, switch, and oscillator, and is a fundamental
`component ofalmostall modern electronics. See theillus-
`tration. See also base (definition 3), FET, NPN transistor,
`PNP transistor.

`
`__Wireless Services server component
`wireless adj. Of, pertaining to, or characteristic of com
`municationsthat take place without the use of intercon.
`necting wires or cables, such as byradio, microwave, or
`infrared light.
`Wireless Application Protocol n. A specification for a
`global standard for enabling digital cellular phonesanq
`other wireless devices to access Internet and other infor-
`mationservices. The Wireless Application Protocol, or
`WAP,is supported by an organization known as WAP
`Forum,which includes such members as Motorola, Nokia
`L. M. Ericsson, and Unwired Planet. The goal of the
`forum is to create an openstandard that works with differ.
`ent wireless technologies. Acronym: WAP.
`wireless communication n. Communication between a
`computerand another computeror device without wires.
`The form of wireless communication provided as part of the
`Windowsoperating system usesinfrared lightto transmit
`files. Radio frequencies, as used bycellular and cordless
`telephones,are another form of wireless communication.
`See also infrared, infrared device, infrared port.
`Wireless Information Device n. See WID.

`
`necessary to run the Windowsoperating environment. The
`win.ini file has been supplanted bythe registry database in
`Windows95 andlater and WindowsNT andlater. See also
`configurationfile, ini file, registry.
`Winipefg n. Short for Windows IP Configuration. A Win-
`dows9x utility that enables users to access information
`abouttheir TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
`Protocol) and network adapter card settings. Running the
`Winipcfg program (winipcfg.exe) opensthe IP Configura-
`tion window,whichreveals the physical address, IP
`address, subnet mask, and default gatewaysettings of the
`primary TCP/IP adapter(or settings of multiple adaptersif
`morethan oneis installed). This informationis also help-
`ful for troubleshooting. See also TCP/IP.
`WINSn. Acronym for WindowsInternet NamingService.
`A WindowsNT Server methodforassociating a com-
`puter’s host namewith its address. Also called: INS, Inter-
`net Naming Service. Compare DNS(definition 1).
`Winsockn. Short for WindowsSockets. An application
`programming interface standard for softwarethat provides
`a TCP/IP interface under Windows. The Winsockstandard
`developed out of a Birds of a Feather (BOF) discussion
`that arose among software vendors at a UNIX conference
`in 1991; it has gained the general support of software
`developers, including Microsoft. See also application pro-
`gramminginterface, BOF, socket (definition 1), sockets
`API, TCP/IP.
`
`Wintel adj. Of, pertaining to, or characteristic of a com-
`puter that uses the Microsoft Windowsoperating system
`and anIntel central processing unit (CPU). See also
`Windows.
`
`wired adj. 1. Of, pertaining to, or characteristic of an elec-
`tronic circuit or hardware grouping in whichthe configu-
`ration is determined by the physical interconnection of the
`components (as opposed to being programmable insoft-
`ware or alterable by a switch). See also hardwired (defini-
`tion 1). 2. Knowledgeable about Internet resources,
`systems, and culture. 3. Having accessto the Internet.
`
`Wired Equivalent Privacy n. See WEP.
`
`wired home n. See smart home.
`
`wire-frame modeln. In computer graphics applications
`such as CAD programs, a representation of a three-
`dimensional object using separate lines that resemble
`strands of wire joined to create a model. Compare solid
`model, surface modeling.
`
`wireless Internet n. Version of the Internet designedfor
`use on wireless phones and handheld devices with small
`display screens, limited memory, and slowerdata transmis-
`sion speeds than a personal computer. MostwirelessInter-
`net sites offer content as basic text with limited graphics,
`wireless LAN n. A LAN (local area network) that sends
`and receives datavia radio, infrared optical signaling,or
`someother technology that does not require a physical
`connection between individual nodes andthe hub. Wire-
`less LANsare often usedin office or factory settings
`wherea user mustcarry a portable computer from placeto
`place. Also called: WLAN.
`
`Wireless Markup Language n. See WML.
`
`Wireless Multimedia Forum n. See WMEF (definition 2).
`
`wireless phonen. Telephonethat operates by meansof
`radio waves without a wire connection. A basestation
`(cell tower) relays the phone’s signal to a wirelesscarrier's
`network,whereit is transmitted to another wireless phone
`or to a wired telephone network.
`Wireless Services server componentn. A component
`that allows a content provideror carrier to configure and
`schedule any numberofinformation acquisition/encoding/
`transmission componentsto create a data stream to be trans-
`mitted by a carrier to a device. The server component builds
