  2. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    Conversion to a character form or for display (e.g., to a text-based format such as XML, or to drive signals for a seven-segment display) is a simple per-digit mapping, and can be done in linear (O(n)) time. Conversion from pure binary involves relatively complex logic that spans digits, and for large numbers, no linear-time conversion ...

  3. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    A binary number is a number expressed in the base -2 numeral system or binary numeral system, a method for representing numbers that uses only two symbols for the natural numbers: typically "0" ( zero) and "1" ( one ). A binary number may also refer to a rational number that has a finite representation in the binary numeral system, that is, the ...

  4. Dewey Decimal Classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey_Decimal_Classification

    The Dewey Decimal Classification ( DDC ), colloquially known as the Dewey Decimal System, is a proprietary library classification system which allows new books to be added to a library in their appropriate location based on subject. [Note 1] It was first published in the United States by Melvil Dewey in 1876. [1]

    This is a conversion chart showing how the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress Classification systems organize resources by concept, in part for the purpose of assigning call numbers. These two systems account for over 95% of the classification in United States libraries, and are used widely around the world.

  6. That time France tried to make decimal time a thing - Engadget

    The answer, most people will Google, is 10,800 — 60 seconds/minute x 60 minutes/hour x 3 hours. In decimal time, you simply get 30,000 — 3 hours x 10,000 seconds/hour. However, due to an ...

  7. Densely packed decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Densely_packed_decimal

    Densely packed decimal (DPD) is an efficient method for binary encoding decimal digits. The traditional system of binary encoding for decimal digits, known as binary-coded decimal (BCD), uses four bits to encode each digit, resulting in significant wastage of binary data bandwidth (since four bits can store 16 states and are being used to store ...

  8. Time-to-digital converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-to-digital_converter

    The dual-slope conversion can take a long time: a thousand or so clock ticks in the scheme described above. That limits how often a measurement can be made (dead time). Resolution of 1 ps with a 100 MHz (10 ns) clock requires a stretch ratio of 10,000 and implies a conversion time of 150 μs.

  9. EBCDIC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBCDIC

    BCD. v. t. e. Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code [1] [2] ( EBCDIC; [1] / ˈɛbsɪdɪk /) is an eight- bit character encoding used mainly on IBM mainframe and IBM midrange computer operating systems. It descended from the code used with punched cards and the corresponding six-bit binary-coded decimal code used with most of IBM's ...
