Browser:-
1. An application program used to explore Internet resources. A browser lets you wander from node to node without concern for the technical detail, of the links between the nodes or the specific methods used to access them, and presents the information-text, graphics, sound, or video-as a document on the screen.
2. A small application used to scan a database or a list of files.
Bug:-
A logical or programming error in hardware or software that causes a malfunction of some sort. If the problem is in software, it can be fixed by changes to the program. If the fault is in hardware, new circuits must be designed and constructed. Some bugs are fatal and may cause a program to crash or cause data loss, others are just annoying, and many are not even noticeable. The term apparently originates from the days of the first electro-mechanical computers, when a problem was traced to a moth caught between two contacts inside the machinery.
Burst Mode:-
A method of data transmission in which information is collected and then sent in one single high-speed transmission, rather than one packet or character at a time. Systems that use multiplexers to server several channels often use burst mode to service each channel in turn. Much local-area network (LAN) traffic can be considered to be burst mode transmission: long periods of inactivity punctuated by short bursts of intense activity.
Bus:-
An electronic pathway along which signals are sent from one part of a computer to another. A PC contains several buses, each used for a different purpose
• The address bus allocates memory addresses.
• The data bus carries data between the processor and memory.
• The control bus carries signals from the control unit.
Bus Network:-
In networking, a topology that allows all network nodes to receive the same message through the network cable at the same time.
