Ciphers, on the other hand, work at a lower level: the level of individual letters, small groups of letters, or, in modern schemes, individual bits and blocks of bits.

Some questions in the study of visual perception, for example, include: ( 1 ) How are we able to recognize objects ?, ( 2 ) Why do we perceive a continuous visual environment, even though we only see small bits of it at any one time?

Check digits and parity bits are special cases of checksums, appropriate for small blocks of data ( such as Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, computer words, single bytes, etc .).

Practically only a very small percentage of addresses is kept as initial reference points ( which also requires storage ), and most of the database data is accessed by indirection using displacement calculations ( distance in bits from the reference points ) and data structures which define access paths ( using pointers ) to all needed data in effective manner, optimized for the needed data access operations.

In general, the scheme for hashing such data is to break the input into a sequence of small units ( bits, bytes, words, etc.

A further extended version which exposed 31 bits of the address bus was also produced, in small quantities, as the 68012.

The soft, inner part of bread is known to bakers and other culinary professionals as the crumb, which is not to be confused with small bits of bread that often fall off, called crumbs.

Range coding is very similar to arithmetic encoding, except that encoding is done with digits in any base, instead of with bits, and so it is faster when using larger bases ( e. g. a byte ) at small cost in compression efficiency.

Edge bits have a small wheel bearing to act as a fence against the work in making edge moldings.

A tool similar to a router, but designed to hold smaller cutting bits — thereby making it easier to handle for small jobs — is a laminate trimmer.

For small enough S-boxes, it is possible to enumerate every possible linear equation relating the S-box's input and output bits, calculate their biases and choose the best ones.

When very small vias are required, drilling with mechanical bits is costly because of high rates of wear and breakage.

Lets may occur because of some unexpected disturbance such as a shuttlecock landing on court ( having been hit there by players on an adjacent court ) or in small halls the shuttle may touch an overhead rail which can be classed as a let.

Young Scammon solicited subscriptions from the farmers and small businessmen whose land lay adjacent to the proposed rail.

Monmouth remained a relatively sedate and quiet small town for most of the 20th century ; its passenger rail services ended in 1959, but its road connections greatly improved with the new A40 bypassing the town in 1966, and later connecting the town to the motorway system.

The low weight of PRT's small vehicles allows smaller guideways and support structures than mass transit systems like light rail.

These have a small car for two to four people permanently attached to a cable from a winch, which runs on an inclined pair of rails ( beams ) or a single rail at a low speed ( 0. 3 to 1. 0 metres / second ).

The fifty-five small rail lines of France were merged into six major lines, while new iron steamships replaced wooden ships.

At that time it was still common to handle bulk materials with shovels, wheelbarrows and small narrow gauge rail cars, and for comparison, a canal digger in previous decades typically handled 5 tons per 12 hour day.
