differences in 4WD, AWD, full time 4WD

Good explanation, that is how I understand it as well. Though there is no "standard" for the definitions, so some manufacturers pick whatever "word" sounds better for their marketing, ie. our Honda Element's system is called "Real Time 4wd", though it is a AWD type system, ~100% power to front wheels unless there is slippage, then hydraulic pressure builds and sends power to the rear differential.
