HASHING AND SERIAL DECODING TECHNIQUES

A technique for generating a list of all N-bit unsigned binary numbers by starting with an initial number less than some power of 2, successively multiplying the number by that power of 2 and adding the largest non-negative number less than that power of 2 such that the new number is not a duplicate of any of those already generated, and using the resulting lists to generate efficient hashing and serial decoding hardware and software.
