The society on Jupiter's moon Io has a very odd way of counting. They count in binary using special counters: small discs with 0 printed on one side and 1 on the other. To increase speed when counting they made a rule: Rule #1: To get the next number in the sequence, only one counter can be...

Hi , I am trying to extract the binary bitstream from QPSK using MATLAB. Will something like Frames = reshape(B,[],N) work? If not, can someone point me in another direction?

A star or a planet is a material object, while a black hole is an 'immaterial' spacetime object. Does the material or 'immaterial' nature of an object make any difference in how it curves or travels through spacetime as it manifests gravitation (apart from the powerful gravitation near a black...

So a 3 bit 2 input multiplier has a maximum of 6 bits and the max integer product is 49. Problem is I have no idea displaying it in 2 seven segment displays since the 74LS48 decoder only has 4 inputs and 7 output, only good for a single 7 seg. And we are required only to use ICs which is rather...

I may be writing a story, set on a rocky planet, 15 times the size of Earth, around a binary dwarf star (one red, one orange). What kind of flora and fauna can I expect?

How can planets exist in star systems with two or three stars? Shouldn't the planets' orbits get severely disturbed by the other stars?

Homework Statement So in C an integer is stored as a 32 byte value. Were the 32nd byte is the byte that determines if the value is negative or positive. I created a loop were I set the integer i equal to 1. Each time I cycle through the loop I left shift the variable i by one. Meaning that...

This one confused me a little bit. You have to carry the one and put it into the next 1 + 1, what would be the rule in this situation? Not sure if this ever happens in decimal addition.

I need to complete this. Let's say I have 4 bits with 2 bits set as 1, 0011. The total number of permutations for this number is 0011, 0101, 0110, 1001, 1010, 1100, 6 cases. This can be computed using the calculation. 4! / ((2!)(4-2)!) = 6 Now I want to be able to find the nth sequence, for...
