kbps. Kilobits per second; 1 kpbs equals 1,024 pbs.
kernel. A term used by programmers to describe the main or core part of a program.
kerning. The art of adjusting the spacing between letters so that they look nice together. Certain letters look better closer together than others. For example, T and y can fit snuggly together so that the upper part of the T hangs slightly over the y. Kerning is used most often in word processors and desktop publishing programs when exact spacing of letters is important.
knowledge base. The part of an expert system that stores facts
about solving a particular problem. Most knowledge bases consist of IF-THEN
rules for reaching an answer. A well-designed expert system should let
you change knowledge bases whenever you need to solve a different type
of problem.
