A technique for reducing parity bit-widths for check bit and syndrome generation through the use of additional check bits to increase the number of minimum weighted codes in the Hamming Code H-Matrix. The technique of the present invention may be implemented while adding no additional correction/detection...http://www.google.com.au/patents/US7962837?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7962837 - Technique for reducing parity bit-widths for check bit and syndrome generation for data blocks through the use of additional check bits to increase the number of minimum weighted codes in the hamming code H-matrix
