Opaque binary blob also prevents hackers from improving the system or subverting it. As an example, Nvidia Tegra has such a 'proprietary OBB.' Opaque binary blob Opaque binary blob (OBB) is a term used in network engineering and computer science to refer to a sizeable piece of data, which looks like binary garbage from outside, by entities which do not know what that blob denotes or carries, but make sense to entities which have access permission and access functions to them. It is also a pejorative term for compiled code without the source code made available (see: binary blob). At least one network
Skew binary number system into a skew binary number runs in time linear in the length of the number. Skew binary numbers find applications in skew binomial heaps, a variant of binomial heaps that support worst-case O(1) insertion, and in skew binary random access lists, a purely functional data structure. They also find use in bootstrapped skew binomial heaps, which have excellent asymptotic guarantees. If smoothsort is implemented using perfect binary trees (rather than the more common Leonardo trees), the heap is divided into trees which correspond to the digits of the skew binary representation of the heap size.
