Real-time communications (RTC) is any mode of telecommunications in which all users can exchange information instantly or with negligible latency. In this context‚ the term "real-time" is synonymous with "live." RTC can take place in half-duplex or full-duplex modes. In half-duplex RTC‚ data can be transmitted in both directions on a single carrier or circuit but not at the same time. In full-duplex RTC‚ data can be transmitted in both directions simultaneously on a single carrier or circuit. RTC

calculate the average human reaction time for a simple task. Hypothesis If the activity is repeated a number of times‚ then the reaction time will decrease‚ therefore the slower the reaction time‚ the further the ruler will fall. Variables - which variables are you going to: Change? (Independent Variable) The Independent Variable in this Investigation is the reaction time. Measure? (Dependent variable) The Dependent Variable in this Investigation is how far the ruler falls. Keep the same?
