  2. Recycling codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_codes

    Recycling codes on products. Recycling codes are used to identify the materials out of which the item is made, to facilitate easier recycling process.The presence on an item of a recycling code, a chasing arrows logo, or a resin code, is not an automatic indicator that a material is recyclable; it is an explanation of what the item is made of.

  3. Route distinguisher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_distinguisher

    The route distinguisher (RD) is an 8-octet value consisting of two major fields, the Type Field (2 octets) and Value Field (6 octets). The type field determines how the value field should be interpreted. The three Type values, as defined in the Internet draft, are: Type 0:

  4. Quadruple-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruple-precision...

    The range of a double-double remains essentially the same as the double-precision format because the exponent has still 11 bits, [4] significantly lower than the 15-bit exponent of IEEE quadruple precision (a range of 1.8 × 10 308 for double-double versus 1.2 × 10 4932 for binary128).

  5. Intel BCD opcodes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_BCD_opcodes

    BCD numbers can be represented in two ways in integer registers: packed decimal and unpacked decimal. Packed (4 bits) In packed decimal representation a decimal digit is stored in one nibble. The values 10 to 15 are not used. [2] Unpacked (8 bits) In unpacked decimal representation a decimal digit is stored in one byte. The values 10 to 255 are ...

  6. Double dabble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dabble

    In computer science, the double dabble algorithm is used to convert binary numbers into binary-coded decimal (BCD) notation. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is also known as the shift-and-add -3 algorithm , and can be implemented using a small number of gates in computer hardware, but at the expense of high latency .

  7. Two-out-of-five code - Wikipedia

    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.

  8. IEEE 754-2008 revision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754-2008_revision

    For maximum range and precision, the formats merge part of the exponent and significand into a combination field, and compress the remainder of the significand using either a decimal integer encoding (which uses Densely Packed Decimal, or DPD, a compressed form of BCD) encoding or conventional binary integer encoding. The basic formats are the ...

  9. Decimal floating point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_floating_point

    The leading digit is between 0 and 9 (3 or 4 binary bits), and the rest of the significand uses the densely packed decimal (DPD) encoding. The leading 2 bits of the exponent and the leading digit (3 or 4 bits) of the significand are combined into the five bits that follow the sign bit. This is followed by a fixed-offset exponent continuation field.
