   isochronous
  
      /i:-sok'rn-*s/ A form of data transmission

      Isochronous transmission transmits asynchronous data over a
      synchronous data link so that individual characters are only
      separated by a whole number of bit-length intervals.   This is
      in contrast to {asynchronous} transmission, in which the

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Issachar
      hired (Gen. 30:18). "God hath given me," said Leah, "my hire
      (Heb. sekhari)...and she called his name Issachar." He was
      Jacob's ninth son, and was born in Padan-aram (comp. 28:2). He
      had four sons at the going down into Egypt (46:13; Num. 26:23,
      25).
     
         Issachar, Tribe of, during the journey through the wilderness,
      along with Judah and Zebulun (Num. 2:5), marched on the east of
      the tabernacle. This tribe contained 54,400 fighting men when
      the census was taken at Sinai. After the entrance into the
      Promised Land, this tribe was one of the six which stood on
      Gerizim during the ceremony of the blessing and cursing (Deut.
      27:12). The allotment of Issachar is described in Josh.
      19:17-23. It included the plain of Esdraelon (=Jezreel), which
      was and still is the richest portion of Palestine (Deut. 33:18,
      19; 1 Chr. 12:40).
     
         The prophetic blessing pronounced by Jacob on Issachar
      corresponds with that of Moses (Gen. 49:14, 15; comp. Deut.
      33:18, 19).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Issachar, reward; recompense
