  2. Launch status check - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_status_check

    A launch status check, also known as a "go/no go poll" and several other terms, occurs at the beginning of an American spaceflight mission in which flight controllers monitoring various systems are queried for operation and readiness status before a launch can proceed.

  3. Thue–Morse sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thue–Morse_sequence

    This graphic demonstrates the repeating and complementary makeup of the Thue–Morse sequence. In mathematics, the Thue–Morse or Prouhet–Thue–Morse sequence is the binary sequence (an infinite sequence of 0s and 1s) that can be obtained by starting with 0 and successively appending the Boolean complement of the sequence obtained thus far.

  4. de Bruijn sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_sequence

    In combinatorial mathematics, a de Bruijn sequence of order n on a size-k alphabet A is a cyclic sequence in which every possible length-n string on A occurs exactly once as a substring (i.e., as a contiguous subsequence). Such a sequence is denoted by B(k, n) and has length k n, which is also the number of distinct strings of length n on A.

  5. VAT identification number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAT_identification_number

    The algorithm is identical to the one for the established series except that 55 is subtracted to give the check number (modulus 97), so the check number is either 55 less than or (if this would be negative) 42 greater than the check number that a VAT number in the established series would have if it were identical in the first seven digits. [36]

  6. Generic Product Identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Product_Identifier

    The Generic Product Identifier (GPI) is a 14-character hierarchical classification system created by Wolters Kluwer's Medi-Span that identifies drugs from their primary therapeutic use down to the unique interchangeable product regardless of manufacturer or package size.

  9. Sequence alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_alignment

    This method requires constructing the n-dimensional equivalent of the sequence matrix formed from two sequences, where n is the number of sequences in the query. Standard dynamic programming is first used on all pairs of query sequences and then the "alignment space" is filled in by considering possible matches or gaps at intermediate positions ...
