    A unique 15-digit hexadecimal beacon identification code (a "15-hex ID"). The encoded identification of the vessel or aircraft in distress, either as an MMSI value, or as, in the case of an ELT, either the aircraft's registration or its ICAO 24-bit address (from its Mode-S transponder). When equipped, a GPS position.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCH_code

    The BCH code with and higher has the generator polynomial. This code has minimal Hamming distance 15 and corrects 7 errors. It has 1 data bit and 14 checksum bits. It is also denoted as: (15, 1) BCH code. In fact, this code has only two codewords: 000000000000000 and 111111111111111 (a trivial repetition code ).

  4. Hexadecimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

    In mathematics and computing, the hexadecimal (also base-16 or simply hex) numeral system is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 ...

    Extremely large telescope. An extremely large telescope ( ELT) is an astronomical observatory featuring an optical telescope with an aperture for its primary mirror from 20 metres up to 100 metres across, [ 1][ 2] when discussing reflecting telescopes of optical wavelengths including ultraviolet (UV), visible, and near infrared wavelengths.

    1/52! chance of a specific shuffle Mathematics: The chances of shuffling a standard 52-card deck in any specific order is around 1.24 × 10 −68 (or exactly 1 ⁄ 52!) [4] Computing: The number 1.4 × 10 −45 is approximately equal to the smallest positive non-zero value that can be represented by a single-precision IEEE floating-point value.

    Using a data size of 16 bits will cause only the bottom 16 bits of the 32-bit general-purpose registers to be modified – the top 16 bits are left unchanged.) The default OperandSize and AddressSize to use for each instruction is given by the D bit of the segment descriptor of the current code segment - D=0 makes both 16-bit, D=1 makes both 32 ...

  8. Quoted-printable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoted-printable

    Quoted-Printable, or QP encoding, is a binary-to-text encoding system using printable ASCII characters ( alphanumeric and the equals sign =) to transmit 8-bit data over a 7-bit data path or, generally, over a medium which is not 8-bit clean. Historically, because of the wide range of systems and protocols that could be used to transfer messages ...

    1 Control-C has typically been used as a "break" or "interrupt" key. 2 Control-D has been used to signal "end of file" for text typed in at the terminal on Unix / Linux systems. Windows, DOS, and older minicomputers used Control-Z for this purpose. 3 Control-G is an artifact of the days when teletypes were in use.
