What bits of Brumidi and Costaggini could be reached at either end seemed in good order, though the roughish sandy surface was thick with dust.

The simple checksums described above fail to detect some common errors that affect many bits at once, such as changing the order of data words, or inserting or deleting words with all bits set to zero.

The order of the memory bytes storing the bits varies ; see endianness.

The highest order octet ( most significant eight bits ) in an address was designated as the network number and the remaining bits were called the rest field or host identifier and were used for host numbering within a network.

If an eavesdropper intercepts the two bits, she may know exactly what Bob needs to do in order to recover the desired state.

Usually, speech coding and channel coding methods have to be chosen in pairs, with the more important bits in the speech data stream protected by more robust channel coding, in order to get the best overall coding results.

Since this is a general rule the receiver doesn't need extra information about the location of the stuffing bits in order to do the de stuffing.

Used in all levels of the European E-carrier system, the high density bipolar of order 3 ( HDB3 ) code replaces any instance of 4 consecutive 0 bits with one of the patterns "< tt > 000V </ tt >" or "< tt > B00V </ tt >".

However, in order to achieve the same bit-error probability as BPSK, QPSK uses twice the power ( since two bits are transmitted simultaneously ).

Minor exception codes are of type unsigned long and consist of a 20-bit “ Vendor Minor Codeset ID ” ( VMCID ), which occupies the high order 20 bits, and the minor code proper which occupies the low order 12 bits.

Minor codes for the standard exceptions are prefaced by the VMCID assigned to OMG, defined as the unsigned long constant CORBA :: OMGVMCID, which has the VMCID allocated to OMG occupying the high order 20 bits.

The binary-reflected Gray code list for n bits can be generated recursively from the list for n − 1 bits by reflecting the list ( i. e. listing the entries in reverse order ), concatenating the original list with the reversed list, prefixing the entries in the original list with a binary 0, and then prefixing the entries in the reflected list with a binary 1.

By comparison, commodity DRAMs have the address multiplexed in two halves, i. e. higher bits followed by lower bits, over the same package pins in order to keep their size and cost down.

In LSB-First packing, the first code is aligned so that the least significant bit of the code falls in the least significant bit of the first stream byte, and if the code has more than 8 bits, the high order bits left over are aligned with the least significant bits of the next byte ; further codes are packed with LSB going into the least significant bit not yet used in the current stream byte, proceeding into further bytes as necessary.

Based on the distance code read, further " extra " bits may be read in order to produce the final distance.
