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

Interestingly, the PDP-1 has a hardware built-in loader, such that an operator need only push the " load " switch to instruct the paper tape reader to load a program directly into core memory ; the boot loader reads into core memory either the second-stage boot loader ( called Binary Loader of paper tape with checksum ) or the operating system from an outside storage medium such as a paper tape, a punched card, or a disk drive.

Binary stars are classified into four types according to the way in which they are observed: visually, by observation ; spectroscopically, by periodic changes in spectral lines ; photometrically, by changes in brightness caused by an eclipse ; or astrometrically, by measuring a deviation in a star's position caused by an unseen companion.

Astromech droids such as R2-D2 communicate through an information-dense language of beeps and whistles known as Binary ; devices exist that can translate this language into Basic.

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.

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

Binary search, a divide and conquer algorithm in which the original problem is successively broken down into single subproblems of roughly half the original size, has a long history.

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.

* To insert a new key x into the treap, generate a random priority y for x. Binary search for x in the tree, and create a new node at the leaf position where the binary search determines a node for x should exist.

Research into this theory is being conducted by the Binary Research Institute, which produced a documentary on the topic titled The Great Year, narrated by James Earl Jones.

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 blob, in open source culture, a non-free object file loaded into the kernel

One such example would be a product called Universal Imaging Utility from Binary Research ( original developers of Symantec's Ghost ) which incorporates a large number of hardware device drivers into the sysprep routine.

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.

The surfaces become invisible in-game and if compiled into a Binary Space Partitioning-File ( or BSP-Level ) they will also not be added to the list of Leaves ( or convex polygons ).

He maintained the prerecorded format, and brought more community input into the show, by bringing on more members of the Binary Revolution community.

* Binary chemical munition, a weapon requiring two separate media to combine for activation

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

Binary trees can be constructed from programming language primitives in several ways.

Binary trees can also be stored in breadth-first order as an implicit data structure in arrays, and if the tree is a complete binary tree, this method wastes no space.

( Binary parameters are common to digital computers, but may not be applicable to neurological systems such as the human brain.

Binary file and memory I / O is provided by the " ADODB. Stream " class, which can also be used as a string builder ( since a high amount of VBScript string concatenation is costly due to constant memory re-allocation ), and can be used to convert an array of bytes to a string and vice versa.

Binary stream ciphers are often constructed using linear feedback shift registers ( LFSRs ) because they can be easily implemented in hardware and can be readily analysed mathematically.

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.

Binary stars which can be resolved with a telescope or interferometric methods are known as visual binaries.

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.

Binary files cannot be transmitted through 7-bit data channels directly.

Binary space partitioning was developed in the context of 3D computer graphics, where the structure of a BSP tree allows spatial information about the objects in a scene that is useful in rendering, such as their ordering from front-to-back with respect to a viewer at a given location, to be accessed rapidly.

Binary images can be interpreted as subsets of the two-dimensional integer lattice Z < sup > 2 </ sup >; the field of morphological image processing was largely inspired by this view.

Binary form is usually characterised as having the form AB, though since both sections repeat, a more accurate description would be AABB.

The steps follow those of Type 1 Binary Ionic compounds however, since the cation can take on multiple charges, the charge must be written within parentheses in Roman numerals after stating the cation name.

Chinese-American astrophysicist Su-Shu Huang dampened expectations of planets forming or remaining in multi-star systems in his 1959 paper " Life-Supporting Regions in the Vicinity of Binary Systems " claiming that due to orbital instability planets and in particular habitable planets would likely be rare.

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 tree sort, in particular, is likely to be slower than merge sort, quicksort, or heapsort, because of the tree-balancing overhead as well as cache access patterns.

Binary fixed-point types are most commonly used, because the rescaling operations can be implemented as fast bit shifts.

Starting with the release of version 9. 3, the Mac OS X version has been updated to be a Universal Binary.

It is compatible with ISAM, SQL and ADO data access methods, reads and writes several flat file desktop database formats including ASCII, CSV, DOS ( Binary ), FoxPro, Clipper, dBase, or all SQL RDBMS databases via ODBC, MS SQL Server, Sybase SQL Anywhere and Oracle through the use of accelerated native database drivers, and XML, Clarion can be used to output to HTML, XML, plaintext, and PDF, among others.

In popular usage, the term BDD almost always refers to Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagram ( ROBDD in the literature, used when the ordering and reduction aspects need to be emphasized ).

It made the 5100 appear the same as an IBM 2741 Communications Terminal and was designed to be able to communicate with IBM 2741 compatible machines in start-stop mode using the EBCD ( Extended Binary Coded Decimal ) notation.

Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code ( EBCDIC ) is an 8-bit character encoding used mainly on IBM mainframe and IBM midrange computer operating systems.

Binary fixed point is usually used in special-purpose applications on embedded processors that can only do integer arithmetic, but decimal fixed point is common in commercial applications.

Version 1. 1. 0 of EV Nova, released in December 2008, is a Universal Binary, and runs natively on Intel-based Macs.

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.

Having arrived late with a Mac OS X version, Quark took a different approach to porting to Intel-native applications on Mac ( Universal Binary ), and released its Universal Binary version 10 months before Adobe ported InDesign.

Star Control II was highly influenced, both in story and game design, by the games Starflight ( 1986 ) and Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula ( 1989 ), developed by Binary Systems and released on a variety of platforms by Electronic Arts.
