See BINARY NUMBER SYSTEM [13].

A number system using two digits, symbols, or characters (usually 1 and 0) [13].

The radix point that separates powers of two and fractional powers of two in a binary number [13].

The state in which conditions are expressed by a series of binary digits (0's and 1's) [13].

A device that is capable of assuming either one of two stable states [13].

A multivibrator that has two stable states. It remains in one of the
states until a trigger is applied. It then flips to the other stable state and remains there until another trigger is applied. Also referred to as a FLIP-FLOP [9] [13].

The reference color of equipment that passes unclassified information. It normally refers to patch panels [17].

The current through a bleeder resistor. In a voltage divider, bleeder current is
usually determined by the 10 percent rule of thumb [1].

A resistor used to draw a fixed current [1].
