  2. Hamming (7,4) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming(7,4)

    In coding theory, Hamming(7,4) is a linear error-correcting code that encodes four bits of data into seven bits by adding three parity bits. It is a member of a larger family of Hamming codes , but the term Hamming code often refers to this specific code that Richard W. Hamming introduced in 1950.

    For example, when d=4, the hash table for two occurrences of d would contain the key-value pair 8 and 4+4, and the one for three occurrences, the key-value pair 2 and (4+4)/4 (strings shown in bold). The task is then reduced to recursively computing these hash tables for increasing n , starting from n=1 and continuing up to e.g. n=4.

    The Hundred Code is a three-digit police code system. [3] This code is usually pronounced digit-by-digit, using a radio alphabet for any letters, as 505 "five zero five" or 207A "two zero seven Alpha". The following codes are used in California. They are from the California Penal Code except where noted below. [4]

    This is the minimum number of characters needed to encode a 32 bit number into 5 printable characters in a process similar to MIME-64 encoding, since 85 5 is only slightly bigger than 2 32. Such method is 6.7% more efficient than MIME-64 which encodes a 24 bit number into 4 printable characters. 89

    Quaternary / k w ə ˈ t ɜːr n ər i / is a numeral system with four as its base.It uses the digits 0, 1, 2, and 3 to represent any real number.Conversion from binary is straightforward.

    The numerator equates to the number of ways to select the winning numbers multiplied by the number of ways to select the losing numbers. For a score of n (for example, if 3 choices match three of the 6 balls drawn, then n = 3), ( 6 n ) {\displaystyle {6 \choose n}} describes the odds of selecting n winning numbers from the 6 winning numbers.

  8. Waring's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waring's_problem

    In number theory, Waring's problem asks whether each natural number k has an associated positive integer s such that every natural number is the sum of at most s natural numbers raised to the power k. For example, every natural number is the sum of at most 4 squares, 9 cubes, or 19 fourth powers.

    Preceding each code with "ten-" gave the radio transmitter time to reach full power. An APCO Bulletin of January 1940 lists codes assigned as part of standardisation. [7] In 1954, APCO published an article describing a proposed simplification of the code, based on an analysis conducted by the San Diego Police Department. [8]
