K-State patents enabling technology for spread-spectrum systems Nov 18, 2009
"Many of the traditionally used code sets are binary code sets that have stringent restrictions on the length of the code," Natarajan said. "And once I fix the length, that means I also have restrictions on how many codes I can generate of that length, and so it limits how many users you can support on a network.".

Language lab Oct 31, 2009
ASCII, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a way of representing letters, numbers and punctuation in the binary code used by computers, and was originally based on old telegraphic codes. It works really well for English, but had to be extended and updated to cope with other alphabets, and has now been replaced by the much more powerful and capable Unicode standard, able to represent non-Latin languages as well as those based on the Latin alphabet.

Mozilla Delays Firefox 3.6 Beta Oct 16, 2009
Just select the operating system and processor platform you're using and grab the binary code. Remember that this isn't even a beta -- it's a test build of a beta -- so expect bugs. (Yahoo News -- Technology)
New Method Reveals All You Need To Know About 'Waveforms' Oct 13, 2009
For example, engineers have described waveforms using terms such as pulse duration, or transition time between the levels representing '0' and '1' (the binary code used in digital electronics). But waveforms can be diverse and complex, especially in advanced high-speed devices, and a traditional analysis may not distinguish between similar shapes that differ in subtle ways. (Science Daily)
Bad behavior? Blame the Internet! Sep 19, 2009
It was only a matter of time before this toxic binary code leaked from our laptops and destroyed what Americans have always held so very near and dear for more than two centuries of existence: Good manners. Vote and discuss. (MSNBC -- Technology)
* Last of Jacquard hand looms to fall silent Sep 13, 2009
The revolutionary Jacquard loom was the first to use special punch-hole cards using a binary code to make fabric patterns using a steering mechanism on the top of the loom. The machine on top of the loom can be likened to a computer while the punch-card is like a kind of primitive computer program or disc, said veteran weaver Mariola Nowakowska, 54, who has been working on looms for 30 years.

Evolving Robots Learn To Lie To Each Other Aug 20, 2009
Each robot had a sensor, a blue light, and its own 264-bit binary code "genome" that governed how it reacted to different stimuli. The first generation robots were programmed to turn the light on when they found the good resource, helping the other robots in the group find it. (Fox News)
The Origin of the Computer Mouse Aug 19, 2009
Mice grew more ergonomic over time and have adopted trackballs, lasers and LEDs, but the premise is the same the and turns that information into binary code that it can understand and plot on a display screen. Engelbart originally invented the mouse as a way to navigate his oNLine System , a precursor of the that allowed computer users to share information stored on their computers. (Scientific American)

Woven wonders Jul 17, 2009
These used copper wires threaded through or around tiny magnetic cores to produce the ones and zeroes of binary code at the heart of the software. Pass the copper wire through the core and the computer read it as a one. (BBC News -- Science)
Bar code turns 35 today Jun 26, 2009
Laurer recalled that several designs, including a circular symbol, were considered before the team settled on what is now recognized as the Universal Product Code, the name of the familiar format that uses 30 black and 29 white lines to convey 12 bits of data in binary code. The 12 digits give nothing more than "an address to look up information" in a database, Laurer said. (San Francisco Chronicle -- Technology)
Sox capitalize on a woeful foe Jun 24, 2009
The Red Sox would have won with nothing but binary code baseball - a scoreboard of 1s and 0s. And then they bludgeoned the Nationals, because they could. (Boston Globe)
Keynote: Help is on the way for multicore software Jun 19, 2009
With hardware support, the technique can deliver significant performance gains, he said, showing results of an automated translator of x86 binary code into parallel software. Some chip makers will support the technique within two or three years, he predicted. (EETimes)
New Ultradense Memory Chip to Last a Billion Years? Jun 16, 2009
The position of the nanoparticle can be precisely read by measuring electrical resistance, and its position can indicate either a state of zero or one in binary code. Zettl's team compared the new chip to the still-legible writing at 's 4,000-year-old Temple of Karnak, as well as to England's well-preserved Domesday Book of 1086. (National Geographic)
Geek Secrets for Cheap Tech Gear Apr 28, 2009
It's a misconception that geeks have some sort of underground economy where the patrons speak in binary code or some TLA**-infested language that sounds like Klingon. In fact, just the opposite is true. (Datamation)
Lester lets up Apr 9, 2009
The scoreboard still showed binary code - nothing but 1s and 0s - until the fifth inning. With the game tied at 1, Lester started the inning by walking Gabe Kapler - the Gabe Kapler who once played for the Red Sox and managed the Greenville Drive, a Sox Single A team, in 2007. (Boston Globe)

Major leap for faster computers Mar 20, 2009
Conventional computers work by storing information in the form of bits, which can represent information in binary code - either as zero or one. Quantum computers will use quantum binary digits, or qubits, which are far more sophisticated as they are capable of representing not only zero and one, but a range of values simultaneously.

Is Mac OS X Under Attack? Feb 27, 2009
Iozzo's latest vulnerability findings involve encapsulating shellcode that he calls an autoloader, and injecting it into binary code. The next step is to execute the autoloader in the address space of the attacked process in order to deliver the payload. (eSecurityPlanet)

Apple sued over iPhone screen tech Feb 15, 2009
Well, there could be two possibilities: Apple did in fact use code written by Picsel, and via jailbreaking one can take binary code and revert it back to high-level language. But I very, very much doubt that this is the case. (CNET News)
