A novel method of adapting Fibonacci number weighting to raw binary code data of variable length to use the code as a fixed length code by using only those code sequences with a fixed number of cells rather than a fixed number of bits, converting the code to a continuous numerical sequence useful particularly for linear media and data transmission. Encoder and decoder systems useful to enable storing or recording and reading or utilization of the Fibonacci code in bar code, magnetic and other media.

Method of fixed-length binary encoding and decoding and apparatus for

This disclosure is concerned with automatically identifying authorized break, meal and other time intervals in check-out and check-in of employee timecards in time-recording systems and the like and accommodating for the same in computing total working hours in such systems.

This disclosure is concerned with presequencing machine-readable time card identifications in the printing of decks of time cards, automatically using the time-recording clock to fill in corresponding human-readable identification, and with a correspondence map memory between machine-and-human readable identifications, enabling repetitive assignment of the machine-readable identification of subsequent decks of time cards to provide complete use of the decks by changing such assignment correspondence.
