  2. G-code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code

    G-code (also RS-274) is the most widely used computer numerical control (CNC) and 3D printing programming language. It is used mainly in computer-aided manufacturing to control automated machine tools, as well as for 3D-printer slicer applications. The G stands for geometry. G-code has many variants. G-code instructions are provided to a ...

  3. Encoding/decoding model of communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoding/decoding_model_of...

    In the process of encoding, the sender (i.e. encoder) uses verbal (e.g. words, signs, images, video) and non-verbal (e.g. body language, hand gestures, face expressions) symbols for which he or she believes the receiver (that is, the decoder) will understand. The symbols can be words and numbers, images, face expressions, signals and/or actions.

  4. GPS signals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals

    The L1C pilot and data ranging codes are based on a Legendre sequence with length 10 223 used to build an intermediate code (called a Weil code) which is expanded with a fixed 7-bit sequence to the required 10,230 bits. This 10,230-bit sequence is the ranging code and varies between PRN numbers and between the pilot and data components.

  5. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    Practical implementations rely heavily on decoding the constituent SPC codes in parallel. LDPC codes were first introduced by Robert G. Gallager in his PhD thesis in 1960, but due to the computational effort in implementing encoder and decoder and the introduction of Reed–Solomon codes, they were mostly ignored until the 1990s.

  6. Geek Code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek_Code

    The Geek Code was invented by Robert A. Hayden in 1993 and was defined at geekcode.com. [3] It was inspired by a similar code for the bear subculture - which in turn was inspired by the Yerkes spectral classification system for describing stars. [4][5][6] After a number of updates, the last revision of the code was v3.12, in 1996. [7]

  7. Enigma machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine

    The Enigma machine is a cipher device developed and used in the early- to mid-20th century to protect commercial, diplomatic, and military communication. It was employed extensively by Nazi Germany during World War II, in all branches of the German military. The Enigma machine was considered so secure that it was used to encipher the most top ...

  8. Morse code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code

    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 of the system adopted for electrical telegraphy.

  9. Caesar cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher

    Caesar cipher. The action of a Caesar cipher is to replace each plaintext letter with a different one a fixed number of places down the alphabet. The cipher illustrated here uses a left shift of 3, so that (for example) each occurrence of E in the plaintext becomes B in the ciphertext. In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as Caesar's ...
