I made some progress on the Beat Bike!
The magnet mounted on the wheel passes a reed switch which is sensed by the control box (with a Raspberry Pi Pico) and then triggers the drum machine to step through the programmed sequence.
Still a lot of work to do, mostly mounting everything onto the bike, and some more code to write, but the proof of concept is all good.

Permutation decoding of first-order Generalized Reed-Muller codes
In [4] we describe a variation of the classical permutation decoding algorithm that can be applied to any binary affine-invariant code; in particular, it can be applied to first-order Reed-Muller codes successfully. In this paper we study how to implement it for the family of first-order Generalized Reed-Muller codes. Then, we give examples which show that we improve the number of errors we can correct in comparison with the known results for this family of codes. Finally, we deal, from a proba…

The Kerr-Induced Superradiant Tricritical Point
The interplay of interaction and dissipation in open quantum systems can forge phase transitions beyond conventional paradigms. In the canonical quantum Rabi model, we demonstrate that a photon-photon (Kerr) interaction transforms the celebrated superradiant phase transition, inducing a line that separates continuous, second-order behavior from discontinuous, first-order regimes. Strikingly, this is not a line of tricritical points. Instead, we prove that genuine tricriticality is an isolated p…

Dual and Covering Radii of Extended Algebraic Geometry Codes
Many literatures consider the extended Reed-Solomon (RS) codes, including their dual codes and covering radii, but few focus on extended algebraic geometry (AG) codes of genus $g\ge1$. In this paper, we investigate extended AG codes and Roth-Lempel type AG codes, including their dual codes and minimum distances. Moreover, we show that for certain $g$, the length of a $g$-MDS code over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ can attain $q+1+2g\sqrt{q}$, which is achieved by an extended AG code from the ma…

On the Weight Distribution of Concatenated Code Ensemble Based on the Plotkin Construction
In this note, we reveal a relation between the weight distribution of a concatenated code ensemble based on the Plotkin construction and those of its component codes. The relation may find applications in the calculation of the ensemble weight distributions for many codes, including Reed-Muller (RM)-like codes.

On decoding extended Han-Zhang codes
Extended Han-Zhang codes are a class of linear codes where each code is either a non-generalized Reed-Solomon (non-GRS) maximum distance separable (MDS) code or a near MDS (NMDS) code. They have important applications in communication, cryptography, and storage systems. While many algebraic properties and explicit constructions of extended Han-Zhang codes have been well studied in the literature, their decoding has been unexplored. In this paper, we focus on their decoding problems in terms of …

Evaluation Codes in Bottleneck Metrics
Analogs of Reed-Solomon codes are introduced within the framework of bottleneck poset metrics. These codes are proven to be maximum distance separable. Furthermore, the results are extended to the setting of Algebraic Geometry codes.
