Note that the leading bits of the significand field do not encode the most significant decimal digit; they are simply part of a larger pure-binary number.

There are exactly different regular words of weight and length , so we need exactly bits of data to encode these regular words.

HAM6 uses 6 bitplanes, meaning that the buffer employs 6 bits per pixel to encode color.

A balise transmits a 'telegram' of either 1023 bits (93*11) or 341 bits (31*11) in the channel encoding with 11 bit per symbol.

Twenty bits can encode 1,048,576 (2) different addresses - with each address pointing to a byte, that allowed for one megabyte of addressable RAM.

In the second form, some instructions (loads and stores) use all 4 bits to encode the register number, allowing access to r12-r15.

In IRIG G, bits 50-53 encode hundredths of seconds, and the years are encoded in bits 60-68.

This leaves three combinations for encoding one to three empty squares and one combination to indicate that the next four bits encode four to 19 empty squares.

Each minute, the two bits of time code encode the local time of the following minute (like DCF77) and some additional information.
