American Morse Code
American Morse Code — also known as Railroad Morse—is the latter-day name for the original version of the Morse Code developed in the mid-1840s, by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail for their electric telegraph. The "American" qualifier was added because, after most of the rest of the world adopted "International Morse Code," the companies that continued to use the original Morse Code were mainly located in the United States. American Morse is now nearly extinct—it is most frequently seen in American railroad museums and American Civil War reenactments—and "Morse Code" today virtually always means the International Morse which supplanted American Morse. History American Morse Code was first used on the Baltimore-Washington telegraph line, a telegraph line constructed between Baltimore, Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland, and the old Supreme Court chamber in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. The first public message "wikt:what hath God wrought, What hath God wrought" was sen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Inversive Congruential Generator
Inversive congruential generators are a type of nonlinear congruential pseudorandom number generator, which use the modular multiplicative inverse (if it exists) to generate the next number in a sequence. The standard formula for an inversive congruential generator, modulo some prime ''q'' is: : x_0 = \text, : x_ = \begin (ax_i^ + c) \bmod q & \text x_i \ne 0, \\ c & \text x_i = 0. \end Such a generator is denoted symbolically as and is said to be an ICG with parameters ''q'', ''a'', ''c'' and seed ''seed''. Period The sequence (x_n)_ must have x_i = x_j after finitely many steps, and since the next element depends only on its direct predecessor, also x_ = x_ etc. The maximum possible period for the modulus ''q'' is ''q'' itself, i.e. the sequence includes every value from 0 to ''q'' − 1 before repeating. A sufficient condition for the sequence to have the maximum possible period is to choose ''a'' and ''c'' such that the polynomial f(x) = x^2 - cx - a \in \mathbb F_q /math> ( ...
