How to read codes on canned foods

Learning to read the most commonly used codes that refer to dates helps ensure your canned foods are fresh and safe to eat.
Abstract: We present a new fast Chase decoding algorithm for binary BCH codes. The new algorithm reduces the complexity in comparison to a recent fast Chase decoding algorithm for Reed–Solomon (RS) ...
Abstract: The Plotkin construction combines two codes to a code of doubled length. It can be applied recursively. The class of Reed-Muller (RM) codes is a particular example. Exploiting a property of ...
