  2. C process control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_process_control

    C process control refers to a group of functions in the standard library of the C programming language implementing basic process control operations. [1] [2] The process control operations include actions such as termination of the program with various levels of cleanup, running an external command interpreter or accessing the list of the environment operations.

  3. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)

    In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence."

  4. Punctured code - Wikipedia

    This has the same effect as encoding with an error-correction code with a higher rate, or less redundancy. However, with puncturing the same decoder can be used regardless of how many bits have been punctured, thus puncturing considerably increases the flexibility of the system without significantly increasing its complexity.

  5. Cyclic code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_code

    Cyclic codes can be linked to ideals in certain rings. Let = [] / be a polynomial ring over the finite field = ().Identify the elements of the cyclic code with polynomials in such that (, …,) maps to the polynomial + + +: thus multiplication by corresponds to a cyclic shift.

  6. Linear code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_code

    Linearity guarantees that the minimum Hamming distance d between a codeword c 0 and any of the other codewords cc 0 is independent of c 0. This follows from the property that the difference cc 0 of two codewords in C is also a codeword (i.e., an element of the subspace C), and the property that d(c, c 0) = d(cc 0, 0). These ...

    Notch and alphabet ring are fixed together. Changing the ring setting will therefore change the positions of the wiring, relative to the turnover-point and start position. The ring setting will rotate the wiring. Where rotor I in the A-position normally encodes an A into an E, with a ring setting offset B-02 it will be encoded into K

  8. Hamming code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_code

    To start with, he developed a nomenclature to describe the system, including the number of data bits and error-correction bits in a block. For instance, parity includes a single bit for any data word, so assuming ASCII words with seven bits, Hamming described this as an (8,7) code, with eight bits in total, of which seven are data.

  9. Double-checked locking - Wikipedia

    The original form of the pattern, appearing in Pattern Languages of Program Design 3, [2] has data races, depending on the memory model in use, and it is hard to get right. Some consider it to be an anti-pattern. [3] There are valid forms of the pattern, including the use of the volatile keyword in Java and explicit memory barriers in C++. [4]
