Skew binary number system Skew binary number system The skew binary number system is a non-standard positional numeral system in which the "n"th digit contributes a value of formula_1 times the digit (digits are indexed from 0) instead of formula_2 times as they do in binary. Each digit has a value of 0, 1, or 2. Notice that a number can have many skew binary representations. For example, a decimal number 15 can be written as 1000, 201 and 122. Each number can be written uniquely in skew binary canonical form where there is only at most one instance of the digit 2, which
Compound File Binary Format Binary Format is a container, with little restriction on what can be stored within it. A CFBF file structure loosely resembles a FAT filesystem. The file is partitioned into "Sectors" which are chained together with a "File Allocation Table" (not to be mistaken with the file system of the same name) which contains chains of sectors related to each file, a "Directory" holds information for contained files with a Sector ID (SID) for the starting sector of a chain and so on. The CFBF file consists of a 512-Byte header record followed by a number of sectors whose size is
