Unreferenced date November 2010 EncodedArchivalDescription is an XML standard for encoding archival finding aid s, maintained by the Library of Congress in partnership with the Society of American Archivists . History EAD originated in 1993, at the University of California, Berkeley . The project s goal was to create a standard for describing collections held by archive s and special collections , similar to the MARC standards for describing regular books. Such a standard enables museum s, libraries , and manuscript repositories to list and describe their holdings in a manner that would be machine readable and therefore easy to search, maintain, exchange. ref name EADofficalsite cite web title Development of the EncodedArchivalDescription DTD url http www.loc.gov ead eaddev.html ref Since ... de EncodedArchivalDescription fr Description archivistique encod e pl EncodedArchivalDescription ... type folder 1 9 container did c02 c01 dsc source References Reflist See also EncodedArchival ...

Video Encoded Invisible Light VEIL is a technology for encoding low bandwidth digital data bitstream in video signal, developed by VEIL Interactive Technologies . VEIL is compatible with multiple formats of video signals, including PAL , SECAM , and NTSC . The technology is based on a steganography steganographically encoded data stream in the luminance of the composite video videosignal . A recent application of VEIL, the Veil Rights Assertion Mark VRAM or V RAM is a copy restriction signal that can be used to ask devices to apply digital rights management DRM technology. This has been seen as analogous to the broadcast flag . It is also known as CGMS A plus Veil and broadcast flag on steroids. There are two versions of VEIL on the market VEIL 1 , or VEIL I , has raw speed of 120 bits per second . It is used for unidirectional communication TV devices with simple devices or toys, and to deliver coupon s with TV advertising . It manipulates the luminance of the video signal in ways difficult to perceive to human eye. VEIL 2 , or VEIL II , has speed of 7200 bit s and is one of the technologies of choice for interactive television , as it allows communication with VEIL servers through devices equipped with backchannels. Veil 2 capable set top box es can communicate with other devices via WiFi , Bluetooth , or other short range wireless technologies.

Deleted image removed File SEA SPIDER CONCEPT.png thumb A single replica of the TP is upconverted with two time delayed highly chirped ancillas in a type II non collinear geometry in a math chi 2 math nonlinear crystal. The two signal pulses are spatially and spectrally filtered and imaged onto the entrance slit of an imaging spectrometer. The delay between the two ancillas generates the spectral shear. The tilt between the two pulses results in spatial fringes to enable extraction of the SPIDER phase. Spatially Encoded Arrangement for SPIDER SEA SPIDER is an advancement of Spectral phase interferometry for direct electric field reconstruction SPIDER . The spectral phase of an ultrashort laser pulse is encoded into a spatial fringe pattern rather than a spectral fringe pattern.

Description numbers are numbers that arise in the theory of Turing machine s. They are very similar to G del number s, and are also occasionally called G del numbers in the literature. Given some universal Turing machine , every Turing machine can, given its encoding on that machine, be assigned a number. This is the machine s description number. These numbers play a key role in Alan Turing s proof of the undecidability of the halting problem , and are very useful in reasoning about Turing machines as well. An example of a description number Say we had a Turing machine M with states q sub 1 sub , ... q sub R sub , with a tape alphabet with symbols s sub 1 sub , ... s sub m sub , with the blank denoted by s sub 0 sub , and transitions giving the current state, current symbol, and actions performed ...

A species description or type description is a formal description of a newly discovered species , usually in the form of a scientific paper . Its purpose is to give a clear description of a new species of organism and explain how it differs from species which have been described previously, or are related. The species description also contains photographs or other illustrations of the type biology type material and explains in which museums the holotype and other name bearing type types such as paratype s have been deposited. It is customary for scientist s to introduce all relevant new findings and research in a scientific paper, which is peer review scrutinised by other scientists peer review and, if accepted, published in a scientific journal of the appropriate discipline this applies to the discovery and naming of a new species or other taxon .
