  Binary numeral system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An ordered binary arrangement of the hexagrams of the I Ching, representing the decimal sequence from 0 to 63, and a method for generating the same, was developed by the Chinese scholar and philosopher Shao Yong in the 11th century.
A binary number can be represented by any sequence of bits (binary digits), which in turn may be represented by any mechanism capable of being in two mutually exclusive states.
When a string of binary symbols is manipulated in this way, it is called a bitwise operation; the logical operators AND, OR, and XOR may be performed on corresponding bits in two binary numerals provided as input.

 Binary Star Paper @ Encyclopedia.LocalColorArt.com (Local Color Encyclopedia)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Binary star systems are very important in astrophysics: most of the properties of any star are deduced from observations of binary star systems.
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.
In the case of a visual binary star, after the orbit has been determined and the stellar parallax of the system determined, the combined mass of the two stars may be obtained by a direct application of the Keplerian harmonic law.

 spectroscopic binary - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about spectroscopic binary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Binary star in which two stars are so close together that they cannot be seen separately, but their separate light spectra can be distinguished by a spectroscope.
The first spectroscopic binary to be discovered, in 1889 by US astronomer Edward Pickering, was the brighter component of Mizar.
The line-of-sight velocity of the brighter star, or of each star in a double-line spectroscopic binary, is measured from the Doppler shift at various stages of the orbital period.

 Representation of numbers
Before discussing the binary system, a review of the decimal (ten possible digits) system is in order, because many of the concepts of the binary system will be easier to understand when introduced alongside their decimal counterpart.
Binary representations of positive can be understood in the same way as their decimal counterparts.
Signed binary fractions are easily extended to include all numbers by representing the number to the left of the decimal point as a 2's complement integer, and the number to the right of the decimal point as a positive fraction.

 Binary System
That is, in the decimal system, the quantity represented by any of the ten symbols used - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 - depends on its position in the number.
Any decimal number can be converted into the binary system by summing the appropriate multiples of the different powers of two.
For the conversion of decimal numbers to binary numbers, the same principle can be used, but the other way around.

 PSR 1913+16   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In 1993, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Russell Hulse and Joseph Taylor of Princeton University for their 1974 discovery of a pulsar, designated PSR1913+16, in a binary system, in orbit with another star around a common center of mass.
Thus the binary pulsar PSR1913+16 provides a powerful test of the predictions of the behavior of time perceived by a distant observer according to Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
Relativity predicts that the binary system will lose energy with time as orbital energy is converted to gravitational radiation.

 Binary prefix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, binary prefixes can be used to quantify large numbers where powers of two are more useful than powers of ten.
Despite the ambiguity, binary prefixes are often written and pronounced identically to the SI prefixes, rather than using the system described below.
This standard, which was approved in 1998, introduced the prefixes kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, tebi-, pebi-, exbi-, to be used in specifying binary multiples of a quantity.

 Introduction to Binary Numbers
The binary number system is a method of storing ordinary numbers such as 42 or 365 as patterns of 1's and 0's.
In the binary system, the columns are worth 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc. To convert a number from binary to decimal, simply write it in expanded notation.
Binary is an effective number system for computers because it is easy to implement with digital electronics.

 Binary Stars
Spectroscopic binaries are not detectable if we are seeing the star head on because no Doppler shifts would be present in the spectrum.
The pattern of these light changes is called a light curve and the data for it gathered by the use of a photometer, making periodic measurements until the eclipsing binaries produce a complete orbital cycle.
When an otherwise normal star is associated with a white dwarf companion, a type of binary called a recurrent nova, or dwarf nova may occur.

 Binary Trees
Binary trees have an elegant recursive pointer structure, so they are a good way to learn recursive pointer algorithms.
The formal recursive definition is: a binary tree is either empty (represented by a null pointer), or is made of a single node, where the left and right pointers (recursive definition ahead) each point to a binary tree.
A "binary search tree" (BST) or "ordered binary tree" is a type of binary tree where the nodes are arranged in order: for each node, all elements in its left subtree are less-or-equal to the node (<=), and all the elements in its right subtree are greater than the node (>).

 Binary Stars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Spectroscopic binaries are systems in which the stars are so close together that they appear as a single star even in a telescope.
The binary nature of the system is deduced from the periodic doppler shifts of the wavelengths of lines seen in the spectrum, as the stars move through their orbits around the center of mass.
Eclipsing binaries are systems in which the orbital plane is oriented exactly edgewise to the plane of the sky so that the one star passes directly in front of the other, blocking out its light during the eclipse.

 Definitions of the SI units: The binary prefixes
In December 1998 the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the leading international organization for worldwide standardization in electrotechnology, approved as an IEC International Standard names and symbols for prefixes for binary multiples for use in the fields of data processing and data transmission.
It is important to recognize that the new prefixes for binary multiples are not part of the International System of Units (SI), the modern metric system.
Then data storage for gigabytes, and even terabytes, became practical, and the storage devices were not constructed on binary trees, which meant that, for many practical purposes, binary arithmetic was less convenient than decimal arithmetic.

 What is binary? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Computers are based on the binary numbering system, which consists of just two unique numbers, 0 and 1.
This is why everything in computers seems to come in 8s (2 to the 3rd power), 64s (2 to the 6th power), 128s (2 to the 7th power), and 256s (2 to the 8th power).
This is Chapter 1 of Randall Hyde's book, "Art of Assembly Language." It describes the binary and hexadecimal numbering systems, binary data organization (bits, nibbles, bytes, words, and double words), signed and unsigned numbering systems, arithmetic, logical, shift, and rotate operations on binary values, bit fields and packed data, and the ASCII character set.

The second is an offshoot of the first; data that is not meant to be intepreted through a common character set (like ASCII) is typically referred to as binary data.
Pure binary data is typically eight bit data, and transferring a binary file through ASCII channels without prior modification will result in corruption and loss of data.
Binary data can be turned into ASCII data via uucoding or bcoding.

 Evolution of a Binary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The binary system is described by the orbital separation, and the mass ratio of the components.
This mass transfer affects both the evolution of the components of the binary as well as the binary properties such as orbital period and eccentricity.
