ZIF socket: Short for zero insertion force socket, a chip socket that allows one to insert and remove a chip without special tools. Enhanced Message
Service: Abbreviated as EMS, an
application-level extension to SMS for cellular phones available on GSM,
TDMA and CDMA networks. An EMS-enabled mobile phone can send and receive
messages that have special text formatting (such as bold or italic),
animations, pictures, icons, sound effects and special ringtones. EMS
messages that are sent to devices that do not support it will be
displayed as SMS transmissions. Open relay: Also
referred to as an open relay server, an SMTP e-mail server that allows a
third party to relay e-mail messages, i.e., sending and/or receiving
e-mail that is not for or from a local user. Open relays make it
possible for mobile users to connect to corporate networks by going
first through a local ISP, which then forwards the message to their home
ISP, which then forwards the message to the final destination. However,
a downside of open relay technology is the proliferation of its usage by
spammers looking to obscure or even hide the source of the large-volume
e-mails they send. Open relay also is called spam relay, third-party
relay or insecure relay. |
