The few customers that exploited 26-bit mode eventually adjusted their applications to support 31-bit addressing, [citation needed] and IBM dropped support for 26-bit mode after several years producing models supporting 24-bit, 26-bit, and 31-bit modes. The 26-bit mode is the only addressing mode that IBM removed from its line of mainframe ...
4 bits – (a.k.a. tetrad(e), nibble, quadbit, semioctet, or halfbyte) the size of a hexadecimal digit; decimal digits in binary-coded decimal form 5 bits – the size of code points in the Baudot code, used in telex communication (a.k.a. pentad) 6 bits – the size of code points in Univac Fieldata, in IBM "BCD" format, and in Braille. Enough ...
Owned and operated by a consortium of universities, it is on the south campus of one of its founding members, the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It houses the world's largest normal conducting cyclotron, [3] a source of 520 MeV protons, which was named an IEEE Milestone in 2010. [4]
A February 21, 2010 announcement said Schlumberger would acquire the company in an all-stock deal valued at $11.3 billion. The sale price of 45.84 per share was 37.5 percent higher than Smith's closing price on February 18, 2010.

The Beatles released seven consecutive Christmas records on flexi disc for members of their UK and US fan clubs, from 1963 to 1969, ranging in length between 3:58 and 7:48. These short collections had a mix of spoken and musical messages for their official fan clubs.
Ancilla bits are extra bits (units of information) used in computing paradigms that require reversible operations, such as classical reversible computing and quantum computing. Unlike classical computing where bits can be freely set to 0 or 1, reversible computation requires all operations on computer memory to be invertible.
Offset binary, [1] also referred to as excess-K, [1] excess-N, excess-e, [2] [3] excess code or biased representation, is a method for signed number representation where a signed number n is represented by the bit pattern corresponding to the unsigned number n+K, K being the biasing value or offset.
Bits and Bytes was the name of two Canadian educational television series produced by TVOntario that taught the basics of how to use a personal computer. The first series, made in 1983, starred Luba Goy as the Instructor and Billy Van as the Student. [ 1 ]
