What algorithms does the NameThesaurus use ?

FAQ
The NameThesaurus uses a combination of phonetic and other techniques for name variant identification. All surnames are limited to 27 characters (a-z and " ' "). Double-barrelled names are split into their component parts and treated independently. All accented characters are converted to their closest matching letter (e.g. ?, ?, ? and ? are all mapped to " a ").

What about algorithms?

Curriculum and Instruction Department - Denver Public School...
The word algorithm is a part of your children’s working vocabulary when they use the Everyday Mathematics program. An algorithm is a set of rules or well-defined procedure guaranteed to achieve a certain objective. For example, following the directions for assembling a new toy for your child, using a recipe, and following any procedure are all examples of algorithms. In mathematics, an algorithm is a recipe for computation.

Typically you use a recipient public key to establish a cipher key, and then use the cipher key to encrypt the bulk of the message. The integrity of the message is assured by including a MAC of the message. The authenticity of the sender is assured by a digital signature and some certificates. You could look at something like SSL or S/MIME for an example, although these are not really good starting points for designing a new system.

What are all those deinterlace algorithms ?

DScaler - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes you can. DScaler is being developped mainly by people using it as an analog source scaler for their projector and they prefer for sure using DScaler from their remote on the sofa rather than from their desk ;-) DScaler is thus filled with keyboard shortcuts for all main options so that you can do everything quickly. We also suggest the use of Girder from Ron Bessems as the application of choice for remote controlling your computer. An export group has been developped. Download it here.

What cryptographic algorithms does SFS use?

Self-Certifying File System: FAQ
SFS relies uses SHA-1 or slightly strengthened variants as a "random oracle" in a number of situations. HostIDs are computed as SHA-1 (1, Location, PubKey, 1, Location, PubKey). SFS generates random bits with the NIST pseudo-random generator (specified for use in DSS key generation). This generator is based on SHA-1.

Can I use other encryption algorithms such as RC2, RC4, or Twofish?

Powertech - Products - Encryption
AES encryption is not the only encryption algorithm that provides strong encryption. There are other encryption algorithms that can be used to secure your data. However, AES encryption is the current federal standard, and likely to be the basis for future state and federal regulations. AES encryption is the only algorithm that has a federally supported certification process.

What algorithms does DeadLine use to solve equations?

Equation root finding
Roots of equations are used to solve many engineering problems. Some nonlinear single variable equations are hard to solve analytically, and therefore numerical methods are used to solve these equations. The software solves not just algebraic equations, but also exponential equations and trigonometric equations. While there is no flawless technique to solve equations, DeadLine combines the most successful methods in order to deliver you the right answer.

Why use those complex algorithms to get extra accuracy? Can't you just go with using the var as is?

The Supernatural Olympics - FAQ
Unless you want strange effects like the buildings and lines being out of alignment (it takes but two seconds at 64x time for the buildings to become noticably out of alignment and by 15 seconds, they are so far out of alignment, it's extremely unrealistic. Using these complex algorithms reduces this effect drastically which helps provide the enhanced accuracy. This is why I can't go with the var as it is. With floats and doubles available in Lite-C, I could just eliminate the need for this.

What is SDL? Is it proprietary to ResQSoft, Inc.?

Engineer FAQ
SDL stands for Screen Definition Language. It's a very simple way to represent a user interface (screen or report). You can create SDL with a text editor like Notepad, and ResQSoft™ Engineer can turn it into a beautiful, browser-based interface. But we don't try to charge for SDL or restrict its use, anyone can use it. For even more control, we can use HTML the same way we use SDL. Here's an example of SDL... and the associated screen.

How does RL relate to genetic algorithms?

RL FAQ
Most work with genetic algorithms simulates evolution, not learning during an individual's life, and because of this is very different from work in RL. That having been said, there are two provisos. First, there is a large body of work on classifier systems that uses or is closely related to genetic algorithms. This work is concerned with learning during a single agent's lifetime (using GAs to organize the components of the agent's mind) and is in fact RL research.

What are the alternative algorithms? Why are these part of the Everyday Mathematics curriculum?

UCSMP: Everyday Mathematics
For decades, all American school children have been taught one standard procedure for each of the four basic operations of arithmetic. These "standard" algorithms, like the regrouping ("borrowing") algorithm for multi-digit subtraction and the long division algorithm, are not the only way to perform these operations. There are many alternative algorithms taught in other countries. Compared to the standard U.S.

What are encryption algorithms?

ICT Authority - IT - FAQ
Encryption algorithms are mathematical formulas that are used to transform a readable message to a message that can only be read by the intended recipient. In this encryption method the information is encrypted so that only the intended recipient is able to read and transform the message. The message can be intercepted, but it is useless to a person, who cannot decrypt it. Encryption and decryption of the information requires, in addition to the encryption algorithm, a key.

Is there any way to use GPL software without having to distribute my proprietary source code?

Foley Hoag LLP: Emerging Enterprise Center | Knowledge Cente...
In some cases, yes. The GPL states that if GPL code is "merely aggregated" with a proprietary program, then the proprietary program will not be considered a derivative work of the GPL code, and thus will not itself be under the GPL. Also, some GPL elements, such as files in the Gnu C++ library, come with a "runtime exception" that can exclude proprietary code that is run with the GPL code.
