Binary-coded decimal (BCD) is a binary encoded representation of integer values that uses a 4-bit nibble to encode decimal digits. Four binary bits can encode up to 16 distinct values; but, in BCD-encoded numbers, only ten values in each nibble are legal, and encode the decimal digits zero, through nine. The remaining six values are illegal and ...
A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to digital data. [1][2] Blocks of data entering these systems get a short check value attached, based on the remainder of a polynomial division of their contents. On retrieval, the calculation is repeated ...
Arecibo message. This is a demonstration of the message with color added to highlight its separate parts. The binary transmission sent carried no color information. The Arecibo message is an interstellar radio message carrying basic information about humanity and Earth that was sent to the globular cluster Messier 13 in 1974.
Rule 30 has also been used as a random number generator in Mathematica, [3] and has also been proposed as a possible stream cipher for use in cryptography. [4] [5] Rule 30 is so named because 30 is the smallest Wolfram code which describes its rule set (as described below). The mirror image, complement, and mirror complement of Rule 30 have ...
The binary Golay code, G 23 is a perfect code. That is, the spheres of radius three around code words form a partition of the vector space. G 23 is a 12-dimensional subspace of the space F 23 2. The automorphism group of the perfect binary Golay code G 23 (meaning the subgroup of the group S 23 of permutations of the coordinates of F 23
A barcode or bar code is a method of representing data in a visual, machine-readable form. Initially, barcodes represented data by varying the widths, spacings and sizes of parallel lines. These barcodes, now commonly referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D), can be scanned by special optical scanners, called barcode readers, of which ...
The cyclic binary code is also known as the cyclic progression code, the reflected binary code, and the Gray code. This code was originated by G. R. Stibitz, of Bell Telephone Laboratories, and was first proposed for pulse-code modulation systems by Frank Gray, also of BTL. Thus the name Gray code.
The Hamming(7,4) code may be written as a cyclic code over GF(2) with generator + +. In fact, any binary Hamming code of the form Ham(r, 2) is equivalent to a cyclic code, [3] and any Hamming code of the form Ham(r,q) with r and q-1 relatively prime is also equivalent to a cyclic code. [4]
