baud

The instrument surveyed the sky at 10-infrared bauds, ranging from 1 to 240 micrometers ([micro]m).

Other items placed inside were current issues of Communications, the chapter newsletter Buffers and Bauds, other professional journals, a Smart Card, a microchip from an early computer, a copy of the chapter's founding letter, a sealed business plan from a Silicon Valley start-up company that netted $4 million in venture capital, a SIG-Booze coaster, and employment want ads for computer professionals.

Leaving aside their use in legal and administrative documents, where the precise sense of terms is an essential requirement, just one small representative group of common adjectives--apert, baud, gai, and joli--will be examined in a variety of texts as they passed from medieval French into Middle English.

The most important difference among them is in the baud rate, the speed at which they send information.
