  2. Robbed-bit signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbed-bit_signaling

    These bits convey on or off hook, and busy signal status on telephone lines. Since a superframe consists of 12 frames, robbed-bit signaling provides two bits for signaling per channel in a superframe, or four bits per channel in an extended superframe. The first robbed bit in a superframe is called A bit, and the second bit is called the B bit.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-out-of-five_code

    2 of 5 barcode (non-interleaved) POSTNET barcode. A two-out-of-five code is a constant-weight code that provides exactly ten possible combinations of two bits, and is thus used for representing the decimal digits using five bits. [1] Each bit is assigned a weight, such that the set bits sum to the desired value, with an exception for zero.

  4. Bit numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_numbering

    When the bit numbering starts at zero for the least significant bit (LSb) the numbering scheme is called LSb 0. [1] This bit numbering method has the advantage that for any unsigned number the value of the number can be calculated by using exponentiation with the bit number and a base of 2. [2] The value of an unsigned binary integer is therefore

  5. Rabbit (cipher) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_(cipher)

    Rabbit uses a 128-bit key and a 64-bit initialization vector. The cipher was designed with high performance in software in mind, where fully optimized implementations achieve an encryption cost of up to 3.7 cpb on a Pentium 3, and of 9.7 cpb on an ARM7. However, the cipher also turns out to be very fast and compact in hardware.

  6. Asynchronous serial communication - Wikipedia

    The "stop bit" is actually a "stop period"; the stop period of the transmitter may be arbitrarily long. It cannot be shorter than a specified amount, usually 1 to 2 bit times. The receiver requires a shorter stop period than the transmitter. At the end of each character, the receiver stops briefly to wait for the next start bit.

  7. Ternary computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_computer

    The original 0 and 1 are explained as an ordinary binary computer, but instead uses 2 as leakage current. The world's first unbalanced ternary semiconductor design on a large wafer was implemented by the research team led by Kim Kyung-rok at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea, which will help development of low ...

  9. Fork bomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb

    The concept behind a fork bomb — the processes continually replicate themselves, potentially causing a denial of service. In computing, a fork bomb (also called rabbit virus) is a denial-of-service (DoS) attack wherein a process continually replicates itself to deplete available system resources, slowing down or crashing the system due to resource starvation.
