Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol - TCP/IP

A networking protocol that allows two computers to communicate.

Thermal-Based Energy Harvesting

This is the process of creating electricity when there is a temperature difference in surroundings that use the Seebeck effect. A load is attached across the heat and cold surface of the thermoelectric power generator, which consists of n-type and p-type semiconductors in a series.

Throughput

A measure of how many units of information a system can process in a given amount of time.

Time Division Multiple Access - TDMA

A digital modulation technique used in digital cellular telephone and mobile radio communication.
