BitBLIT which stands for bit block image transfer but is pronounced bitblit is a computer graphics operation in which several bitmap s are combined into one using a Raster Operations raster operator . ref name Sanchez The operation involves at least two bitmaps, a source and destination, and possibly a third that is often called the mask .

on the Blit explains that it was named after the second syllable of bitblit , a common name for the bit ...In computing , the Blit was a programmable bitmap computer graphics graphics computer terminal terminal designed by Rob Pike and Bart Locanthi Jr. of Bell Labs in 1982. When initially switched on, the Blit looked like an ordinary textual terminal, although taller than usual Similar to the VT100 it had an addressable cursor and supported escape sequences . However, after logging into a Unix host connected to the terminal through a serial port , the host could load via special escape sequences software onto the Motorola 68000 processor of the display. This software could make use of the terminal s full graphics capabilities and attached peripherals such as a computer mouse . Normally, users would load the Mux windowing system mux windowing system, which replaced the terminal s user interface by a mouse driven windowing interface, with multiple terminal windows all multiplexed over the single available serial line connection to the host. Each window initially ran a simple terminal emulator, which could be replaced by a downloaded interactive graphical application, for example a more advanced terminal emulator, an editor, or a clock application.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Bit time is a concept in computer network ing. It is defined as the time it takes for one bit to be ejected from a Network Interface Card NIC operating at some predefined standard speed, such as 10 Mbit s. The time is measured between the time the Logical Link Control logical link control layer 2 sublayer receives the instruction from the operating system until the bit actually leaves the NIC. The bit time has nothing to do with the time it takes for a bit to travel on the network medium, but has to do with the internals of the NIC. To calculate the bit time at which a NIC ejects bits, use the following bit time 1 NIC speed To calculate the bit time for a 10 Mbit s NIC, use the formula as follows bit time 1 10 10 6 10 7 100 10 9 100 nanoseconds The bit time for a 10 Mbit s NIC is 100 nanoseconds. That is, a 10 Mbit s NIC can eject 1 bit every 100 nanoseconds. Bit time is distinctively different from slot time , which is the time taken for a pulse to travel through the longest permitted length of network medium.

Weight on bit is provided by drill collars, which are thick walled tubular pieces machined from solid bars of steel, usually plain carbon steel but sometimes of nonmagnetic nickel copper alloy or other nonmagnetic premium alloys. Gravity acts on the large mass of the collars to provide the downward force needed for the bits to efficiently break rock. To accurately control the amount of force applied to the bit, the driller carefully monitors the surface weight measured while the bit is just off the bottom of the wellbore. Next, the drillstring and the drill bit , is slowly and carefully lowered until it touches bottom. After that point, as the driller continues to lower the top of the drillstring, more and more weight is applied to the bit, and correspondingly less weight is measured as hanging at the surface. If the surface measurement shows 20,000 pounds 9080 kg less weight than with the bit off bottom, then there should be 20,000 pounds force on the bit in a vertical hole .
