AD stands for ANNO DOMINI which refers to Christ's birth. BC is before Christ. CE stands for 'Common Era' and is a recent term. It is used in place of AD.
BCD stands for 'Before Common Day' and is used instead of BC, however it is more commonly represented as BCE, 'Before Common Era'.
These 2 terms, CE and BCE/BCD, are used now as they are deemed Politically Correct as they do not adhere to any particular religion.

How do you determine what your veterans disability benefit will be?
The patient vet doesn't make that determination. The VA does that after examining him. They set the value mark, and it will be done in percentages (%). 10% disabled, etc. Actually, benefits are derived based on the character of the veterans discharge. Once a year the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) publishes a booklet that describes (generally) all the veterans benefits. If a veteran has an honorable discharge, he/she is eligible for all (should he/she meet the requirments). If he/she has a general discharge, the veteran is not eligible for education benefits (GI Bill). If the Veteran has an "other than honorable" discharge, it is up to the DVA to determine if he/she will be paid for compensation for service connected disabilities and will determine if the other benefits will be paid out as well. If the veteran has a Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD), he/she can be buried in a Veteran Cemetary but isn't eligible for much else. A dishonorable discharge excludes the veteran from all benefits. It is a misconception that if you get less than an honorable discharge that your whole time in the service is characterized by the listed character of discharge. An example would be: Let's say an individual was selling drugs and was given a BCD discharge. It was determined by the evidence he was selling in the last six months of his/her service. If he/she had served three years prior to that, that service is considered honorable. The Veteran needs to apply for benefits for that three year period which is deemed HONORABLE, thus all benefits would apply.
When were magnetic disc introduced?
In 1956 on the IBM RAMAC, the 50 platter single access mechanism provided access to 5 million 6 bit IBM BCD alphameric characters. Worst case access time was 0.8 seconds. The floppy disk was developed in 1971 by IBM as part of the new System/370, to permit loading microcode. One 8 inch single sided floppy on this system had a capacity of 80,000 bytes. I hope one of those answers your question.
In computer terms what is a nibble?
In computer terms a nibble = 4 bits = 1/2 byte. You can further define the data segment as: Crumb = 2 bits Nibble = 4 bits Byte = 8 bits Word = 16 bits Double Word=32 bits Jury still out on 64 bits and Sentence In keeping with the spelling of "byte", the lick and nibble are sometimes spelled "lyck" and "nybble" ------------------- A nibble is half a byte, but believe it or not, a byte does not necessarily have to have eight bits. I don't know of any computer platform that uses anything but 8 bit bytes these days, but in computer science terms, a byte is generally the smallest addressable element, and the size needed to store a character. You also might be surprised to know that not all machines use ASCII (eight bit bytes) characters. IBM Mainframes still use EBCDIC under their traditional operating systems, and that stands for Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange code, which accounted for the lion's share of data until a few decades ago. It's an extended version of BCD, which uses 4 bits to express numbers, and there's no technical reason that a BCD based machine couldn't have 4 bit bytes. It's unlikely that you will ever encounter a computer that doesn't use eight bit bytes, but you may encounter people who studied computer science back in the 1970s. Back in the "old" days (the 1960's) when computer's didn't have operating systems or hign level programming languages, you always dealt with the byte. On some machines the byte was 8 bits and on others it was 8 bits + a parity bit for 9 bits. There was "even" parity and "odd parity", meaning you set the parity bit on if an even number of bits = 1 in the original 8 bits, or set it on for an odd number of bits = 1 in the original 8 bits. The "word" was originally set to be the size of a register (everything was done through a set of registers). The registers were used to assemble the current instruction that you wanted the computer to execute (what kind of action, like move a byte, add, subtract etc., plus the final length of your data, which determined how many cycles the computer had to go through to execute your instruction, plus where the data was coming from and going to). The "word" length was pegged to the length of the register, meaning that in treating the computer like a book, each register was a word. Since the first computers were totally byte oriented, a word was 8 bits. When 16-bit registers were implemented, they became 16 bits, then 32 bits and now 64 bits. There are some computers today that even have 128 bit words. So a "word" is the length of the registers in whatever computer you are using. It is also the biggest chunk of bits that the computer can process at one time. The word "nibble" was invented to specify the high-order 4 bits in a byte or the low-order 4 bits in a byte (like eating a nibble from a cookie, instead of the whole cookie). Since a number can be specified in 4 bits, you only needed a "nibble" to store a number. So, if you had a field that was all numbers, you could write it out in "nibbles", using half the space you would have used if it was in bytes. Back in those days, space counted. The first "mainframe" computers had 4k of memory (no, that really is 4k), so you didn't have any space to waste if you were doing something like payroll or inventory management. In some cases, individual bits within bytes are used to store flags (yes or no for a given attribute) and, in at least one IBM manual, these were referred to as tidbits. IBM was not known for a sense of humor, but the term never became a generally accepted abbreviation.
What are the differences between 110 BCD and 130 BCD chainrings in terms of compatibility and performance?
The main difference between 110 BCD and 130 BCD chainrings is the bolt circle diameter (BCD), which affects compatibility with cranksets. 110 BCD chainrings are typically used with compact cranksets, while 130 BCD chainrings are used with standard cranksets. The choice between the two can impact gear ratios and overall performance on the bike.
Why is BCD used in computers?
BCD is used for binary output on devices that only display decimal numbers.

What does bcd mean in bcd travel?
Well, darling, BCD in BCD Travel stands for "Bismarck Car Dealership." Just kidding! It actually stands for "Bureau of Consular Affairs." So next time you're booking a trip with BCD Travel, just remember it's not about cars or German history, it's all about consular affairs.
