broket /broh'k*t/ or /broh'ket`/ n.   [rare; by analogy with    `bracket': a `broken bracket'] Either of the characters `<' and `>',    when used as paired enclosing delimiters.   This word originated as a    contraction of the phrase `broken bracket', that is, a bracket that    is bent in the middle.   (At MIT, and apparently in the {Real World}    as well, these are usually called {angle brackets}.)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
bar code          A printed horizontal strip of vertical bars of       varying widths, groups of which represent decimal digits and       are used for identifying commercial products or parts.   Bar       codes are read by a bar code reader and the code interpreted       either through {software} or a {hardware} decoder.          All products sold in open trade are numbered and bar-coded to       a worldwide standard, which was introduced in the US in 1973       and to the rest of the world in 1977.   The Uniform Code       Council in the US, along with the international article       numbering authority, EAN International, allocate blocks of       unique 12 or 13-digit numbers to member companies through a       national numbering authority.   In Britain this is the Article       Number Association.   Most companies are allocated 100,000       numbers that they can use to identify any of their products,       services or locations.          Each code typically contains a leading "quiet" zone, start       character, data character, optional {check digit}, stop       character and a trailing quiet zone.   The check digit is used       to verify that the number has been scanned correctly.   The       quiet zone could be white, red or yellow if viewed by a red       scanner.   Bar code readers usually use visible red light with       a wavelength between 632.8 and 680 nanometres.          [Details of code?]          (1997-07-18)

bracket          (Or square bracket) A {left bracket} or {right       bracket}.          Often used loosely for {parentheses}, {square brackets},       {braces}, {angle brackets}, or any other kind of unequal       paired {delimiters}.          (1996-09-08)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
bracket abstraction          An {algorithm} which turns a term into a function       of some variable.   The result of using bracket abstraction on       T with respect to variable v, written as [v]T, is a term       containing no occurrences of v and denoting a function f such       that f v = T.   This defines the function f = (\ v . T).   Using       bracket abstraction and {currying} we can define a language       without {bound variable}s in which the only operation is       {monadic} function application.          See {combinator}.          (1995-03-07)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
brightness          (Or "tone", "luminance", "value", "luminosity",       "lightness") The coordinate in the {HSB} {colour model} that       determines the total amount of light in the colour.   Zero       brightness is black and 100% is white, intermediate values are       "light" or "dark" colours.          The other coordinates are {hue} and {saturation}.          (1999-07-05)

broket          /broh'k*t/ or /broh'ket/ (From broken bracket)       Either of the characters "<" or ">" when used as paired       enclosing {delimiters} ({angle brackets}).          [{Jargon File}]          (1997-07-21)

Burst EDO          {Burst Extended Data Out DRAM}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Burst Extended Data Out DRAM          (Burst EDO, BEDO) A variant on {EDO DRAM} in which       read or write cycles are batched in bursts of four.   The       bursts wrap around on a four byte boundary which means that       only the two least significant bits of the {CAS} address are       modified internally to produce each address of the burst       sequence.   Consequently, burst EDO bus speeds will range from       40MHz to 66MHz, well above the 33MHz bus speeds that can be       accomplished using {Fast Page Mode} or EDO DRAM.          Burst EDO was introduced sometime before May 1995.          (1996-06-25)

Burst Static Random Access Memory          (BSRAM) A kind of {SRAM} used primarily for external       {Level 2 cache} memory.          [How does it work?]          (1998-02-24)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Breastplate       (1.) That piece of ancient armour that protected the breast.       This word is used figuratively in Eph. 6:14 and Isa. 59:17. (See {ARMOUR}.)                (2.) An ornament covering the breast of the high priest, first       mentioned in Ex. 25:7. It was made of embroidered cloth, set       with four rows of precious stones, three in each row. On each       stone was engraved the name of one of the twelve tribes (Ex.       28:15-29; 39:8-21). It was in size about ten inches square. The       two upper corners were fastened to the ephod by blue ribbons. It       was not to be "loosed from the ephod" (Ex. 28:28). The lower       corners were fastened to the girdle of the priest. As it       reminded the priest of his representative character, it was       called the memorial (28:29). It was also called the breastplate       of judgment (28:15). (See {PRIEST}.)
