Control Transfer This is a bi-directional transfer which uses both an IN and an OUT endpoint.

USB Made Simple - Part 3

Each control transfer is made up of from 2 to several transactions. It is divided into three stages. The SETUP stage carries 8 bytes called the Setup packet. This defines the request, and specifies whether and how much data should be transferred in the DATA stage. The DATA stage is optional. The STATUS stage is a transaction containing a zero-length DATA1 packet. Control transfers are used for initial configuration of the device by the host, using Endpoint 0 OUT and Endpoint 0 IN, which are reserved for this purpose. SO MUCH TO TELL YOU: the 100 club.

The fascinating world of languages, 1. [I am writing a series of articles on Languages and Linguistics for a magazine for school kids, EducationEdge, that a friend of mine has started recently. These articles are targeted at students of classes VIII to XII. I will keep posting those articles on Linguistrix once they are published. Here's the first in the series.] “Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.”

–Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Every human possesses an innate ability to acquire language. Phonetics and phonology, for example, deal with the sounds used by the speakers of a language. When we learn Grammar in school, we are given the impression that the grammar of a language defines what it is and what it should do. The field of Historical Linguistics studies the changes that occur in languages over a period of time—word meanings change, some words drop out of usage while new ones are created.

Baud Rate

A symbol may have more than two states, so it may represent more than one binary bit (a binary bit always represents exactly two states). Therefore the baud rate may not equal the bit rate, especially in the case of recent modems, which can have (for example) up to nine bits per symbol. For example, a Bell 212A modem uses Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulation, and each symbol has one of four phase shifts (of 0(deg), 90(deg), 180(deg), or 270(deg)). Since it requires two bits to represent four states (00, 01, 10, and 11), the modem transmits 1,200 bits/s of information, using a symbol rate of 600 baud. Usually the baud rate of a modem will not equal the bit rate and is of no interest to the end user--only the data rate, in bits per second, is. Therefore in referring to the data rate of a modem, use bits/s (or kbits/s, etc.), not baud rate. "Goodbye" in many languages.
