  SIGNAL(5)
The second sample is formed from the 4 remaining bits of the first byte pair (which are the 4 high bits of the 12-bit sample) and the next byte (which contains the remaining 8 bits of the second sample).
The first sample is obtained from the 11 least significant bits of the first byte pair (stored least significant byte first), with the low bit discarded.
The third sample is formed from the 5 most significant bits of each of the first two byte pairs (those from the first byte pair are the least significant bits of the third sample).

  Least significant bit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, the least significant bit (lsb) is the bit position in a binary integer giving the units value, that is, determining whether the number is even or odd.
It is analogous to the least significant digit of a decimal integer, which is the digit in the ones (right-most) position.
Least significant bits are frequently employed in pseudorandom number generators, hash functions and checksums.

 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Byte   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A byte is commonly used as a unit of storage measurement in computers, regardless of the type of data being stored.
C, for example, defines byte as a storage unit capable of at least being large enough to hold any character of the execution environment (clause 3.5 of the C standard).
The move to an eight-bit byte happened in late 1956, and this size was later adopted and promulgated as a standard by the System/360.

 Endianness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Generally the byte (octet) is considered an atomic unit from the point of view of storage at all but the lowest levels of network protocols and storage formats.
On the other hand, variable-width text encodings using the byte as their base unit, such as UTF-8, could be considered to have an inbuilt endianness that, at least in all commonly used text encodings, is fixed by the encoding’s design.
In this case a decision must be made as to whether the least significant bit is considered to be first or last.

But a word (two bytes) will be stored in memory with the least significant byte at the word's address in memory, but with the most significant byte at the next address up.
Regarded as a byte sequence this is sometimes called a "little-endian" format because the least significant byte is first and the most significant byte is second.
A dword (four bytes) will be stored in memory with the least significant byte at the dword's address in memory, then the next two bytes and finally with the most significant byte at the fourth address up.

 One Little, Two Little, Three Little Endians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The first stores integers as groups of consecutive 8-bit bytes with the least significant byte occupying the lowest memory location within the group and the most significant byte occupying the highest memory location.
The second is just the reverse; the least significant byte is stored in the highest memory location within the group, and the most significant byte is stored in the lowest memory location.
Once the bytes have been reversed the integer is then correctly interpreted by the hardware as the original value from the opposite-endian machine.

 Byte-order - Emuscene Wiki
Since the most significant byte is at offset 0, it is quite easy to access the sign bit without knowing how many bytes the value actually consists of.
The order is as most people would expect it (at least those from cultures that are used to reading from left to right), thus hex dumps are easier to understand and program code that has to display values is more primitive.
Due to the fact that the significance of a byte increases with a higher memory offset, multiple precision calculations are easier to implement.

 Introduction to Endianness - big endian, little endian, byte order, byte swap   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A big-endian representation has a multibyte integer written with its most significant byte on the left; a number represented thus is easily read by English-speaking humans.
Big endian means that the most significant byte of any multibyte data field is stored at the lowest memory address, which is also the address of the larger field.
Little endian means that the least significant byte of any multibyte data field is stored at the lowest memory address, which is also the address of the larger field.

 MARS
The document describing MARS, accessible at http://www.research.ibm.com/security/mars.html, notes that "little-endian" conventions, with the "first" byte of a 32-bit word being its least significant byte, are used in the cipher.
The four bytes of the first word in the block, W0, are used as inputs to the two fixed S-boxes used by this cipher with eight bits of input and 32 bits of output.
The second word is XORed with the word in S0 chosen by the least significant byte of the first word and then the word in S1 chosen by the third, or second least significant, byte of the first word is added to it.
