Refimprove date June 2007 A fixed interest rate loan is a loan where the interest rate doesn t fluctuate during the fixed rate period of the loan. This allows the borrower to accurately predict their future payments. Variable rate loans, by contrast, are anchored to the prevailing discount rate . A fixed interest rate is based on the lender s assumptions about the average discount rate over the fixed rate period. For example, when the discount rate is historically low, fixed rates are normally higher than variable rates because interest rates are more likely to rise during the fixed rate period. Conversely, when interest rates are historically high, lenders normally offer a discount to borrowers to fix their interest rate over time, as rates are more likely to fall during the fixed rate period. Some fixed interest loans particularly mortgages intended for the use of people with previous adverse credit have an extended overhang , that is to say that once the initial fixed rate period is over, the person taking out the loan is tied into it for a further extended period at a higher interest rate before they are able to redeem it.

Overview Fixed function is a term canonically used to contrast 3D graphics API s and earlier GPU s designed prior to the advent of shader based 3D graphics APIs and GPU architectures. History Historically fixed function API s consisted of a set of function entry points that would approximately or directly map to dedicated logic for their named purpose in GPU s designed to support them. As shader based GPUs and APIs evolved, fixed function APIs were implemented by graphics driver engineers using the more general purpose shading architecture. This approach served as a segue that would continue providing the fixed function API abstraction most developers were experienced with while allowing further development and enhancements of the newer shader based architectures. OpenGL , OpenGL ES and DirectX Direct3D are all 3D graphics APIs that went through the transition from the fixed function programming model to the shader based programming model. Below is a table of when the transition from fixed function to shaders was made class Fixed function to Shader based APIs 3D API Last Fixed function Version First Shader Version OpenGL v1.5 v2.0 OpenGL ES v1.1 v2.0 DirectX v7.0 v8.0 Fixed Function vs Shaders Fixed function API s tend to be a simpler programming abstraction with a series of well defined and specifically named graphics pipeline stages. Shader based APIs treat graphics data vertices and pixels texels generically and allow a great deal of flexibility in how this data is modulated. More sophisticated rendering techniques are possible using a shader based API. Category 3D computer graphics ... more details
Fixed wireless is the operation of wireless devices or systems used to connect two fixed locations e.g., buildings with a radio or other wireless link, such as laser bridge . ref citeweb title Wireless Broadband and Other Fixed Wireless Systems url http www.networkcomputing.com netdesign bb1.html publisher networkcomputing.com accessdate 2008 02 20 ref Usually, fixed wireless is part of a wireless LAN infrastructure. The purpose of a fixed wireless link is to enable data communications between the two sites or buildings. Fixed wireless data FWD links are often a cost effective alternative to leasing fiber or installing cables between the buildings. The Point to point telecommunications point to point signal Data transmission transmission s occur through the air over a Terrestrial radio terrestrial microwave platform rather than through copper or optical fiber therefore, fixed wireless does not require satellite feeds or local telephone service. The advantages of fixed wireless include the ability to connect with users in remote areas without the need for laying new cables and the capacity for broad Bandwidth computing bandwidth that is not impeded by fiber or cable capacities. Fixed ... Fixed wireless services typically use a directional radio antenna on each end of the signal e.g. ... connection speeds. Fixed Wireless Broadband With the growing infrastructure of the GSM wireless networks, fixed wireless has also become a viable solution for broadband access. Using the 3G speed and reliability, businesses and homes can use fixed wireless antenna technology to access broadband internet and Layer 2 networks using fixed Wireless broadband . Because of the redundancy and saturation ... wired infrastructure is not yet available, fixed wireless broadband has become a viable option for internet access. ref citeweb title Fixed Wireless Broadband How it Works url http www.accel networks.com blog 2009 03 fixed wireless broadband how it works.html publisher accel networks.com accessdate ... more details
