What algorithms are patented?

Mark Nelson's FAQ
The best overview I know of on this topic can be found in the comp.compression FAQ. You can find the comp.compression FAQ via a link on my FAQ, follow the links from my home page. comp.compression and comp.compression.research sometimes will turn up answers to questions regarding specific techniques, but the murkiness of patent law makes it hard to trust *any* source of information.

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 can be patented?

Thrasher Associate, LLC--FAQ
How do I know if my invention is patentable? The best way to assess patentability is to have a patentability search done for you by a qualified professional. BEWARE that there are many scams that claim to perform a patent search for you, but provide you with very little actual searching (looking at patent databases is not enough!), or with any clear indication regarding the patentability of your idea-especially since different items will have different impacts on patentability.

Frequently Asked Patent Questions: NCSU Libraries
In order for an invention to be patented, it must be new, useful and nonobvious. New means that the invention must not have ever been patented before, even if the patent has expired. Useful means that the patent must do what it claims to do, and that this must be possible. For example, you may not patent a perpetual motion machine. Nonobvious means that the invention should not be something that anyone could just figure out on their own.

Lion's Grip Traction Pads Frequent Comments & Questions
That's why we've written on the package not to open them until needed. The strong, 4-mil ziplock bag they come in should keep your trunk clean. If you want to examine them, be sure to open the Lions Grips outside or where the coco fibre won't be a problem.

Fleit, Kain, Gibbons, Gutman, Bongini & Bianco
First, under American law, the invention must not only be new, it must also not be obvious. All that is required for an invention to be “new” is that it is different from what is already known. An invention is not obvious if a person of ordinary skill in the field (also known as “art”) of the invention would not have known how to make or use the invention without undue experimentation.

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.

Is the Rife machine patented?

Altered ststes newsletters,Alternative Health and Healing ne...
Some of Rife's original designs were patentable. Today the technology is like the flashlight, if you want one that you can control on the open market with any useful amount of patent rights, you are going to have to do some very serious and innovative development to come up with something better, or do the same thing cheaper. Johnson&Johnson's bone growth stimulator is clearly among the Rife discoveries, and it has several good patent claims and was approved by the FDA.

Is Salivax? patented?

FAQ
The inner workings of Salivax? are held as trades secret to prevent unauthorized duplication. Once a patent is applied for it is published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) thus making all the tricks of the trade public. It is then very easy for a lot of unscrupulous entities to copy. ImmunoScience has chose to hold the technology as a trade secret (similar to the formula for Coca Cola) to prevent such copying. Some parts of the test have patent applications pending.

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.

Yes. Two papers have been written. The first paper (Moody, E. G., M. D. King, S. Platnick, C. B. Schaaf, and F. Gao, 2005: Spatially complete global spectral surface albedos: Value-added datasets derived from Terra MODIS land products. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Vol. 43, 144-158) describes the temporal interpolation technique, data available, and provides error analysis.

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.

What is the MMC patented technology in Renuva Infuser and why is it so important?

Renuva - Frequently Asked Questions
The invention of this patented MMC oral delivery system is one of the greatest breakthroughs in biotechnology. This patented system allows for the intake of the Renuva growth factors, which heretofore has not been possible through an oral system. If large molecule proteins were swallowed, the acid in the stomach and the enzymes in the stomach, and intestines would break down the protein and render it biologically inactive.
