                     To [Queen Margaret, of Scotland] . . . we owe the
                     custom of the grace drink, she having established it

                     grace was said was rewarded with a bumper. --Encyc.

      Syn: Elegance; comeliness; charm; favor; kindness; mercy.
  
      Usage: {Grace}, {Mercy}. These words, though often
                  interchanged, have each a distinctive and peculiar

                  is kindness or compassion to the suffering or
                  condemned. It was the grace of God that opened a way
                  for the exercise of mercy toward men. See {Elegance}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   gray code
  
      A {binary} sequence with the property that only one
      {bit} changes between any two consecutive elements (the two
      codes have a {Hamming distance} of one).
  
      The gray code originated when {digital logic} circuits were
      built from {vacuum tubes} and electromechanical {relays}.
      Counters generated tremendous power demands and noise spikes
      when many bits changed at once.   E.g. when incrementing a
      register containing 11111111, the {back-EMF} from the relays'
      collapsing magnetic fields required copious noise suppression.
      Using gray code counters, any increment or decrement changed
      only one bit, regardless of the size of the number.
  
      Gray code can also be used to convert the angular position of
      a disk to digital form.   A radial line of sensors reads the
      code off the surface of the disk and if the disk is half-way
      between two positions each sensor might read its bit from both
      positions at once but since only one bit differs between the
      two, the value read is guaranteed to be one of the two valid
      values rather than some third (invalid) combination (a
      {glitch}).
  
      One possible {algorithm} for generating a gray code sequence
      is to toggle the lowest numbered bit that results in a new
      code each time.   Here is a four bit gray code sequence
      generated in this way:
  
      0 0 0 0
      0 0 0 1
      0 0 1 1
      0 0 1 0
      0 1 1 0
      0 1 1 1
      0 1 0 1
      0 1 0 0
      1 1 0 0
      1 1 0 1
      1 1 1 1
      1 1 1 0
      1 0 1 0
      1 0 1 1
      1 0 0 1
      1 0 0 0
  
      The codes were patented in 1953 by Frank Gray, a {Bell Labs}
      researcher.
