boiling chips: Boiling chips, also known as boiling stones, boileezers or anti-bumping granules, are small, irregularly shaped stones added to liquids to make them boil more smoothly. They provide nucleation sites so the liquid boils easily without becoming superheated. Without boiling chips, a liquid heated in a smooth container can become superheated and "burp" in a sudden, sometimes violent release of vapor. This sudden burp of gas can cause the solution and reagents to be thrown out of the container, possibly causing severe burns, ruining an experiment, or simply making a mess

chip: in the context of CDMA is distinct from bit and refers to binary digits transmitted over the RF link The chip rate in IS-95 is 1 2288 MHz (thus allowing adequate guard bands to permit the carriers to be spaced 1 25 MHz apart) Each bit is represented by many chips, and if a majority of the chips get through then the bit can be reconstructed properly The number of chips representing each bit varies depending on the bit rate When using an 8K Vocoder (such as EVRC) there are 128 chips for each bit Chips as such don't contain data because both the sender and receiver know the spreading pattern used to create them from a bit, and as such are not directly subject to the laws of Information Theory Though there are many phones simultaneously using a single frequency to transmit full chiprate, that means that the channel is not saturated unless the bitrate approaches the bandwidth of the carrier
