  1. Sign bit

    Refimprove date December 2009 In computer science , the sign bit is a bit in a computer numbering format that indicates the sign mathematics sign of a number.

  1. Sign extension

    Sign extension is the operation, in computer arithmetic , of increasing the number of bit s of a binary number while preserving the number s sign mathematics sign positive negative and value. This is done by appending digits to the most significant bit most significant side of the number, following a procedure dependent on the particular signed number representation used. For example, if six bits are used to represent the number code 00 1010 code decimal positive 10 and the sign extend operation increases the Word data type word length to 16 bits, then the new representation is simply code 0000 0000 0000 1010 code . Thus, both the value and the fact that the value was positive are maintained. If ten bits are used to represent the value code 11 1111 0001 code decimal negative 15 using two s complement , and this is sign extended to sixteen bits, the new representation is code 1111 1111 1111 0001 code . Thus, by padding the left side with ones, the negative sign and the value of the original number are maintained. In the Intel x86 instruction listings x86 instruction set , for example, there are two ways of doing sign extension using the instructions tt cbw tt , tt cwd tt , tt cwde tt , and tt cdq tt convert byte to word, word to doubleword, word to extended doubleword, and doubleword quadword, respectively in the x86 context a byte has 8 bits, a word 16 bits, a doubleword and extended doubleword 32 bits, and a quadword 64 bits using one of the sign extended moves, accomplished by the tt movsx tt move with sign extension family of instructions.

  1. Sign war

    Orphan date November 2010 Sign wars are semi official competitions between opposing political campaign s at events and or locations where campaign visibility is paramount to each side. During a sign war, campaign workers, both staffers and volunteers, seek to have a greater sign presence than their opposition. Sign wars may consist of tens of thousands of signs in standard sizes ranging from placard s to 4 x8 s and may include a wide variety of signs that have been improvised by campaigns and their volunteers. Sign wars as a campaign tactic Journalists frequently report on sign wars during the campaign season. Particularly for campaigns that aren t large enough to have a regular stream of polling data for the local news media to report on, journalists will use other numbers based metrics such as the number of yard signs for each candidate in the district to help gauge support for individual candidates. Candidates and campaign staff often stoke the fires of election sign wars to claim that their candidate has popular support among the voters in the district. Notable sign wars A notable sign war occurs during the popular Shad Planking in Wakefield, Virginia . Every April, locals and politicians from all around the Commonwealth gather for some politicking, beer drinking, and fish eating. Nationally, in August 2007, Democrat presidential hopefuls John Edwards and Barack Obama each claimed victory for his side in the sign war that occurred at Drake University in Des Moines , Iowa. Probably one of the most famous sign wars occurs every presidential election year at the Jefferson Jackson dinner in Des Moines Iowa.

  1. Sign system

    Semiotics A sign system is a key concept in semiotics and is used to refer to any system of sign s and relations between signs. ref Beynon Davies P. 2010 . Dances with bees exploring the relevance of the study of animal communication to informatics. International Journal of Information Management. 30 1 . 185 198. ref The term language is frequently used as a synonym for a sign system. However, the term sign system is preferable to the term language for a number of reasons. First, the use of the term language tends to carry with it connotation s of human language, particularly human spoken language. Human spoken language is only one example of a sign system albeit probably one of the most complex sign systems known. For example, in traditional forms of face to face communication, humans communicate through non verbal communication non verbal as well as verbal sign systems colloquially referred to as body language . Hence, humans communicate a great deal by way of facial movements and other forms of bodily expression. Such expressions are also signs and an organised collection of such signs would be considered a sign system. Second, the same concept of a sign system can be used in considering a vast range of communication forms such as animal communication and man machine communication. Examination of simpler forms of such systems of signs within non human communication can help to illuminate some of the essence of communication and in particular can help to provide tentative answers to the question of the nature and function of communication.

The ILY is a sign from American Sign Language which, as a gesture, has moved into the mainstream.

The sign is a very informal way of expressing a number of positive emotions ranging from general esteem to love for the recipient of the sign. A similar looking but unrelated variation thumb toward the palm rather than thumb extended appears in heavy metal music culture as a Corna devil s horns hand sign . History Deaf Heritage dates the origin of the ILY to 1905. However, resident students of deaf education deaf schools from the early Twentieth Century do not recall seeing the sign anywhere until the 1970s . The sign received significant media exposure with Richard Dawson s use of the ILY in his signoff from each episode of the Family Feud , which he hosted from 1976 to 1985. Presidential candidate Jimmy Carter reportedly picked it up from a group of Deaf American Deaf supporters in the Midwest and, in 1977, during Inauguration of Jimmy Carter his Inauguration Day parade , flashed the ILY to a group of Deaf people on the sidewalk.

    about the concept of sign value as recognized by sociologists and economists numeral signs having additive values Sign value notation a representation of signed numbers in computers Signed number representations In sociology or economics , sign value is the value accorded to an object because of how it impacts the social status of the possessor, as opposed to the value derived from use for its primary purpose. For instance, a potential purchaser may value a Rolls Royce car Rolls Royce limousine partially because it represents a means of transportation and partially because it signifies his wealth to other members of society. The former is the primary function of the limousine giving rise to use value the latter, the sign function.
