A binary explosive or two component explosive is an explosive consisting of two components, neither of which is explosive by itself, which have to be mixed in order to become explosive. Examples of common binary explosives include Oxyliquit liquid oxygen combustible powder , ANFO ammonium nitrate fuel oil , Kinestik ammonium nitrate nitromethane , Tannerite ammonium nitrate aluminum , and FIXOR nitroethane physical sensitizer .

A binary protocol is a network protocol protocol which is intended or expected to be read by a machine rather than a human being, as opposed to a plain text protocol such as IRC , SMTP , or HTTP . Binary protocols have the advantage of terseness, which translates into speed of transmission and interpretation. There has always been tension between two software development camps that believe new protocols should preferably be text based or binary, respectively. In recent years, with the ready availability of network bandwidth and mass storage, the text based camp has been gaining significant ground XML based systems are nearly ubiquitous but the debate continues ref http www.webservices.org weblog mark little soap for the masses A representative discussion of text and binary protocol debate, by Mark Little ref .

A binary clock is usually a clock which displays traditional sexagesimal time in a binary numeral system binary format. Originally, it showed each decimal digit of sexagesimal time as a binary value, but presently binary clocks also exist which display hours, minutes, and seconds as binary numbers. Most binary clocks are digital , although analog signal analog varieties exist. True binary clocks also exist, which indicate the time by successively halving the day. Thus these clocks do not use hours, minutes, or seconds. Similar clocks, based on Gray code d binary, also exist.

unreferenced date January 2011 Binary Research Ltd was a company founded in Auckland, New Zealand by Murray Haszard in 1991 after the sale of his previous company, B32 Software . Binary Research initially considered developing competitors to the file transfer programs Blast software Blast and Laplink . The product to compete with Blast was dropped at an early stage, but a program to transfer files over parallel or serial cables was developed and marketed from 1994 to 1996 under several names, including Beam , UniBeam and LinkWiz . This program was available in DOS , Windows 3.1x Windows 3.x , OS 2 2.0 and SCO Unix versions, and claimed to transfer files more rapidly than Laplink at that time. Later versions of the program could also transfer files using a network cable. Beam was not a financial success, as Laplink was the dominant product in that marketplace. Binary Research s next product, arising from the file transfer and parallel port technologies of Beam, was Ghost software Ghost , first sold in 1996. Ghost pioneered the field of disk cloning software. A network of agents was set up around the world, and a branch of Binary Research Ltd, Binary Research International Inc, was established in Glendale, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin as a sales and support centre. Ghost was a very successful product, but Binary Research was a small company and was unable to drive the global sales force which Ghost needed. In 1998, Murray Haszard looked for a company which could acquire and develop Ghost further. Symantec expressed an interest, and after a unanimous vote of approval by Binary Research s New Zealand employees, Ghost was purchased by Symantec for US 27.5 million in July 1998. Almost all New Zealand employees of Binary Research became Symantec employees, and Ghost is still developed in Auckland.
