Pseudorandom binary sequence — A binary sequence (BS) is a sequence of N bits, :a j for j=0,1,...,N 1, i.e. m ones and N m zeros. A BS is pseudo random (PRBS) if its autocorrelation function :C(v)=sum {j=0}^{N 1} a ja {j+v}has only two values::C(v)=egin{cases}m, mbox{ if }… … Wikipedia
Pseudorandom number sequence — A Pseudorandom number sequence is a sequence of numbers that has been computed by some defined arithmetic process but is effectively a random number sequence for the purpose for which it is required. Although a pseudorandom number sequence in… … Wikipedia

Random access — In computer science, random access (sometimes called direct access) is the ability to access an arbitrary element of a sequence in equal time. The opposite is sequential access, where a remote element takes longer time to access. A typical… … Wikipedia
Algorithmically random sequence — Intuitively, an algorithmically random sequence (or random sequence) is an infinite sequence of binary digits that appears random to any algorithm. The definition applies equally well to sequences on any finite set of characters. Random sequences … Wikipedia
Hardware random number generator — This SSL Accelerator computer card uses a hardware random number generator to generate cryptographic keys to encrypt data sent over computer networks. In computing, a hardware random number generator is an apparatus that generates random numbers… … Wikipedia
Maximum length sequence — A maximum length sequence (MLS) is a type of pseudorandom binary sequence. They are bit sequences generated using maximal linear feedback shift registers and are so called because they are periodic and reproduce every binary sequence that can be… … Wikipedia
Main sequence — A Hertzsprung Russell diagram plots the actual brightness (or absolute magnitude) of a star against its color index (represented as B V). The main sequence is visible as a prominent diagonal band that runs from the upper left to the lower right.… … Wikipedia
De Bruijn sequence — A diagram showing the De Bruijn sequence where k=2 and n=2 In combinatorial mathematics, a k ary De Bruijn sequence B(k, n) of order n, named after the Dutch mathematician Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn, is a cyclic sequence of a given alphabet A … Wikipedia
Time Independent Escape Sequence — The Time Independent Escape Sequence, or TIES, was a short lived modem standard invented to avoid a patent held by Hayes Microcomputer Products. TIES was an escape sequence that switched the modem from data mode to command mode , allowing… … Wikipedia
Pseudorandomness — A pseudorandom process is a process that appears random but is not. Pseudorandom sequences typically exhibit statistical randomness while being generated by an entirely deterministic causal process. Such a process is easier to produce than a… … Wikipedia
