+This is a synchronization object that signals a single thread because once awaited, its state is automatically reset.
 
 Typical use cases involve the need to unlock a single thread at a time.
 
+### Semaphore
+
+Semaphores are synchronization objects that are created with an initial capacity (a positive, non-zero integer).  This 
+capacity can be thought as the number of threads that can access a resource simultaneously.
+
+Use semaphores when you want to limit access to a **thread-safe** resource.  For example:  A battery of workers that 
+upload files to a server via an HTTP request fulfills this description.  In order to not overwhelm the HTTP server, a 
+semaphore could be used to limit the number of files that can be simultaneously uploaded.

+### Mutex
+
+A mutex is a semaphore of capacity 1.  Its name comes from the combination of the words _"mutually exclusive"_.  Since 
+its capacity is 1, only one thread at a time can be the owner of a mutex.
