The blitter's line mode draws single-pixel thick lines using the Bresenham's line algorithm.

The blitter's filling mode is used to fill per-line horizontal spans.

; Guard interval insertion: to decrease receiver complexity, every OFDM block is extended, copying in front of it its own end ( cyclic prefix ).

* GNU ddrescue to recover data from failed media by copying data from one file or block device ( hard disk, CD-ROM, floppy, etc.

It does this by copying valid nodes to a new block and skipping obsolete ones.

These implement copy-on-write on entire block devices by copying changed blocks — just before they are to be overwritten — to other storage, thus preserving a self-consistent past image of the block device.

The only graphics possible in this mode are quarter-tile block based.

The block mode modified field tag was particularly suited to converting formatted, structured punched card input onto the 3270 display device.

The blitter runs either from the start of the block to the end, known as " ascending " mode, or in reverse, " descending " mode.

In November 2008, a vulnerability was discovered for all versions of SSH which allowed recovery of up to 32 bits of plaintext from a block of ciphertext that was encrypted using what was then the standard default encryption mode, CBC.

Thirdly, CRC is a linear function with a property that CRC ( X XOR Y ) = CRC ( X ) XOR CRC ( Y ); as a result, even if the CRC is encrypted with a stream cipher ( or mode of block cipher which effectively turns it into stream cipher, such as OFB or CFB ), both message and associated CRC can be manipulated without knowledge of encryption key ; this was one of the well-known design flaws of the Wired Equivalent Privacy ( WEP ) protocol.

Devices that block nearly all of the radiation in one mode are known as polarizing filters or simply " polarizers ".

La Vie mode d ' emploi is an immensely complex and rich work ; a tapestry of interwoven stories and ideas as well as literary and historical allusions, based on the lives of the inhabitants of a fictitious Parisian apartment block.

An example of a self-synchronising stream cipher is a block cipher in cipher feedback ( CFB ) mode.

For example, 64-bit block ciphers like DES can be used to generate a keystream in output feedback ( OFB ) mode.

If a block cipher ( not operating in a stream cipher mode ) were to be used in this type of application, the designer would need to choose either transmission efficiency or implementation complexity, since block ciphers cannot directly work on blocks shorter than their block size.

Block ciphers must be used in ciphertext stealing or residual block termination mode to avoid padding, while stream ciphers eliminate this issue by naturally operating on the smallest unit that can be transmitted ( usually bytes ).

* Block mode: FTP breaks the data into several blocks ( block header, byte count, and data field ) and then passes it on to TCP.

They operate in an essentially " screen-at-a-time " mode ( also known as block mode ).

* Cipher block chaining, in cryptography: a block cipher mode that provides confidentiality but not message integrity

For example, the cipher-block chaining ( CBC ) mode requires a random value of the cipher's block size as additional input, and adds it to the first plaintext block before subsequent encryption.

For block ciphers, repeated IV values devolve the encryption scheme into electronic codebook mode: equal IV and equal plaintext result in equal ciphertext.

* CCM mode, a mode of operation for cryptographic block ciphers

which takes as input a key K of bit length k, called the key size, and a bit string P of length n, called the block size, and returns a string C of n bits.

In a rolling block action the breechblock takes the form of a part-cylinder, with a pivot pin through its axis.

However, if a fielder takes up position at square leg or somewhere so as to block his view, or if there is an injured batsman with a runner, then the umpire must move somewhere else – typically either a short distance or to point on the opposite side of the batsman.

In a rolling block action the breechblock takes the form of a part-cylinder, with a pivot pin through its axis.

A carriage house and stable, with a room for the coachman, is still standing on the property, which takes up an entire city block.

Consisting of 56 mini games ( plus 3 hidden single player mini games ), Mario Party takes the form of a traditional board game, with players taking turns to roll the dice block and move ahead the number of spaces shown.

Also, when writing to any medium such as a filesystem or network, it takes less time to write one large block than many small blocks.

As with most board games, each participant takes turns in rolling a dice block ( 1 to 10 ) to determine the number of spaces moved on the board.

One other view ( that has not been held by very many philosophers ) is sometimes called the ' growing block ' theory of time, which is a theory that takes the past and present to exist but the future to be nonexistent.

The original arrangement involved a first past the post block voting or " winner takes all " system, on a state-by-state basis.

The complex takes up the full block between Ninth Avenue ( Manhattan ) | Ninth and Tenth Avenue ( Manhattan ) | Tenth Avenues and 23rd and 24th Street ( Manhattan ) | 24th Streets.

The Mercado ( Market ) Benito Juárez is located one block south of the Zócalo on Flores Magón and Las Casas but it takes up the entire block to 20 de Noviembre and Aldama streets.

It takes up a whole city block, between 50th and 51st streets, Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue.

The main villain on The Venture Bros. ( a cartoon on the Adult Swim block of Cartoon Network ) takes his name, costume and overall lifestyle from monarch butterflies.

It takes up a full block on Houston Street, bounded by Lafayette and Mulberry Streets.

An engineer then takes each block of a block diagram and considers the things that could go wrong with that block, and how they affect the system as a whole.

Such a network takes a block of the plaintext and the key as inputs, and applies several alternating " rounds " or " layers " of substitution boxes ( S-boxes ) and permutation boxes ( P-boxes ) to produce the ciphertext block.

The helmet Magneto uses to block Xavier's mental abilities is revealed to have been given to Shaw by the Russians, but Erik eventually takes it for his own use, adopting the title of Magneto, and the remaining members of the Hellfire Club join his new-founded Brotherhood of Mutants.

A cryptographic hash function is a hash function, that is, an algorithm that takes an arbitrary block of data and returns a fixed-size bit string, the ( cryptographic ) hash value, such that an ( accidental or intentional ) change to the data will ( with very high probability ) change the hash value.

It takes up over an entire city block.
