Cooper losses occur on a computer connection, when the value of an ASCII character decreases by one in value. For example, when the value 70H, representing the letter "p", decreases by one to 6FH, representing the letter "o". So, instead of "copper losses", you end up with "cooper losses." (And copper losses are simply the I^2R resistive losses in the windings of a transformer.) [This message has been edited by SolarPowered (edited 07-12-2004).]
