  2. International Code of Signals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Code_of_Signals

    The International Code of Signals (INTERCO) is an international system of signals and codes for use by vessels to communicate important messages regarding safety of navigation and related matters. Signals can be sent by flaghoist, signal lamp ("blinker"), flag semaphore, radiotelegraphy, and radiotelephony. The International Code is the most ...

  3. List of file signatures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures

    This is a list of file signatures, data used to identify or verify the content of a file. Such signatures are also known as magic numbers or Magic Bytes. Many file formats are not intended to be read as text. If such a file is accidentally viewed as a text file, its contents will be unintelligible. However, some file signatures can be ...

ANSI Z535 are American-developed standards designed to improve the identification of potential hazards to workers and/or property. The identifications are called Hazardous Communication (HazCom). ANSI Z535 sets the design and application standards for all HazCom used across ...

    International maritime signal flags. International maritime signal flags are various flags used to communicate with ships. The principal system of flags and associated codes is the International Code of Signals. [1] Various navies have flag systems with additional flags and codes, and other flags are used in special uses, or have historical ...

    2 Control-D has been used to signal "end of file" for text typed in at the terminal on Unix / Linux systems. Windows, DOS, and older minicomputers used Control-Z for this purpose. 3 Control-G is an artifact of the days when teletypes were in use. Important messages could be signalled by striking the bell on the teletype.

  7. C0 and C1 control codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes

    In 1973, ECMA-35 and ISO 2022 [17] attempted to define a method so an 8-bit "extended ASCII" code could be converted to a corresponding 7-bit code, and vice versa. [18] In a 7-bit environment, the Shift Out would change the meaning of the 96 bytes 0x20 through 0x7F [a] [20] (i.e. all but the C0 control codes), to be the characters that an 8-bit environment would print if it used the same code ...

  8. GPS signals - Wikipedia

    The encrypted signal is referred to as the P(Y)-code. The details of the W-code are secret, but it is known that it is applied to the P-code at approximately 500 kHz, [6] about 20 times slower than the P-code chip rate. This has led to semi-codeless approaches for tracking the P(Y) signal without knowing the W-code.

  9. Morse code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code

    This Morse key was originally used by Gotthard railway, later by a shortwave radio amateur [2] Morse code is a telecommunications method which encodes text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes, or dits and dahs. [3][4] Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, one of the early developers ...
