NEW ORLEANS — ­The tiniest electronic gadgets have nothing on a new data-storage device. Each bit is encoded using the magnetic field of a single atom — making for extremely compact data storage, ...

The number of bits used to represent one character of data. When transmitting ASCII text via modem, either seven or eight bits may be used. Most other forms of data require eight bits. THIS DEFINITION ...

In the drive to cram ever more information into handy data-storage devices, researchers have reduced the size of a bit of data to the ultimate limit—a single atom (Nature 2017, DOI: ...

Digital content primarily is delivered to a conversion device in two ways. One way is in real time, as uncompressed audio and video using SDI and AES. But as facilities and media transport evolves to ...

Bit rate is typically seen in terms of the actual data rate. Yet for most serial transmissions, the data represents part of a more complex protocol frame or packet ...

ECC adds multiple parity bits, though calculations are usually applied to complete words (typically 32 or 64 bits), not single bytes. Each ECC bit represents the parity of a different subset of the ...
