* Binary suns and star systems are featured heavily in the Star Wars films and related material, the most notable example being the system in which the planet Tatooine is located.

Binary means composed of two pieces or two parts and may refer to:

* Binary numeral system, a representation for numbers using only two digits ( 0 and 1 )

* Binary relation, a mathematical relation involving two elements

* Binary function, a function in mathematics that takes two arguments

* Binary compound, a chemical compound containing two different chemical elements

** Binary explosive, an explosive made of two components that become explosive when mixed

** Binary chemical weapon, containing two chemicals that when combined make a toxic agent

* Binary fission, the splitting of a single-celled organism into two daughter cells

* Binary star, a star system with two stars in it

* Binary asteroid, two asteroids orbiting each other

* Binary tree, a computer tree data structure in which each node has at most two children

Binary operations take two input numbers and produce a single output number.

Binary and multi-star systems consist of two or more stars that are gravitationally bound, and generally move around each other in stable orbits.

ACIS supports two kinds of save files, Standard ACIS Text ( SAT ), and Standard ACIS Binary ( SAB ).

Binary space partitioning is a generic process of recursively dividing a scene into two until the partitioning satisfies one or more requirements.

Binary form is a musical form in two related sections, both of which are usually repeated.

* Binary multiplier, a digital circuit to perform rapid multiplication of two numbers in binary representation

Binary phase-shift keying ( BPSK ) is used in the 868 and 915 MHz bands, and Offset quadrature phase-shift keying ( OQPSK ) that transmits two bits per symbol is used in the 2. 4 GHz band.

Binary or binomial classification is the task of classifying the members of a given set of objects into two groups on the basis of whether they have some property or not.

*** Binary notation, a positional notation in base two

Binary fixed-point numbers can represent fractional powers of two exactly, but, like binary floating-point numbers, cannot exactly represent fractional powers of ten.

During Binary fission and mitosis the duplicated DNA content of the reproducing parental cell is separated into two equal halves that are destined to end up in the two daughter cells.

Binary stars are also common as the nuclei of many planetary nebulae, and are the progenitors of both novae and type Ia supernovae.

* Binary system ( astronomy ), a system of two celestial bodies on a mutual orbit

Binary stars are important to stellar astronomers as knowledge of their motions allows direct calculation of stellar mass and other stellar parameters.

Binary stars provide the only direct way to measure the mass of stars, from observations of their orbital motions.

Binary stars may be found with any conceivable separation, from pairs orbiting so closely that they are practically in contact with each other, to pairs so distantly separated that their connection is indicated only by their common proper motion through space.

The storage of heaps as arrays is diagrammed at Binary heap # Heap implementation. The heap's invariant is preserved after each extraction, so the only cost is that of extraction.

* Image mode ( commonly called Binary mode ): the sending machine sends each file byte for byte, and the recipient stores the bytestream as it receives it.

*- Three Enhanced TV Binary Interchange Format ( EBIF ) tutorials-with links to download the source code for each.

The Binary Research logo, two stars revolving around each other, played on the main screen while the program idled.

Binary zone plate: The areas of each ring, both light and dark, are equal.

Binary itself is meaningless, until such time as an executed algorithm defines what should be done with each bit, byte, word or block.

Binary ( each pixel is either 0 or 255 ).

The leaves of this Binary Tree have polygons of the original map associated with them, which are then used for computing each area's visibility.

Binary " 0 " s and " 1 " s are stored as one of two possible electric polarizations in each data storage cell.

* Binary file, composed of something other than human-readable text

Binary star systems are very important in astrophysics because calculations of their orbits allow the masses of their component stars to be directly determined, which in turn allows other stellar parameters, such as radius and density, to be indirectly estimated.

A few non-droids can also learn to understand it through working with the droids for long periods of time, and protocol droids are able to translate Binary into other languages.

A complete ABI, such as the Intel Binary Compatibility Standard ( iBCS ), allows a program from one operating system supporting that ABI to run without modifications on any other such system, provided that necessary shared libraries are present, and similar prerequisites are fulfilled.

Binary DOC files often contain more text formatting information ( as well as scripts and undo information ) than some other document file formats like Rich Text Format and HyperText Markup Language, but are usually less widely compatible.

Although BFD was originally designed to be a generic library usable by a wide variety of tools, the frequent need to tinker with the API to accommodate new systems ' capabilities has tended to limit its use ; BFD's main clients are the GNU Assembler ( GAS ), GNU Linker ( GLD ), and other GNU Binary Utilities (" binutils ") tools, and the GNU Debugger ( GDB ).

Binary Research Ltd was closed down after the acquisition, but Binary Research International Inc. continues as a reseller of Ghost, and has expanded into other software products.

Some of the other developers from Binary Research also work there.

Binary stars and other multiple-star formations are common, and many brown dwarfs orbit other stars.

Binary files typically contain bytes that are intended to be interpreted as something other than text characters.

The Microsoft Binary Format for floating point numbers was proprietary to the implementation, which meant that data could only be interchanged with other programs using ASCII text representation or else with extensive programming to convert the binary format.

With aggressive assumptions, one DOE-funded feasibility study of where the technology could go, 1000 MWe Advanced Coal-Fired MHD / Steam Binary Cycle Power Plant Conceptual Design, published in June 1989, showed that a large coal-fired MHD combined cycle plant could attain a HHV energy efficiency approaching 60 percent — well in excess of other coal-fueled technologies, so the potential for low operating costs exists.

Binary Creations-Create a new mesh from a binary operation of two other meshes

Gouryella remixed two tracks for other artists, both in 1999: Solange-Messages and Binary Finary-1999.
