Entropy Hack
Downloads The Entropy Gathering Hack gathers randomness or "entropy" by recording system events, then uses this entropy to patch PalmOS' SysRandom() call, to generate high-quality random numbers for any application that needs them.

Maximum Entropy Based Normalization of Word Posteriors for Phonetic and LVCSR Lattice Search
White Papers Using this as a constraint, the authors estimate a mapping function based on Maximum Entropy. In many keyword-spotting systems, the word posterior probability is an elementary quantity. In theory, the posterior of a keyword match denotes the...

Configurational Entropy of Binary Hard-Disk Glasses: Nonexistence of an Ideal Glass Transition
White Papers One of the outstanding challenges of condensed matter physics remains the understanding the glass transition in dense or supercooled liquids. Numerous e orts have been made to identify the cause of the dramatic slowdown of the dynamics...

No, no, no
Talkback Energy can be endlessly converted from one form to another, but in a closed system such conversions only happen in the direction of increasing entropy. Ultimately all energy ends up as heat, which has the highest entropy.

Super computer does lottery
News Dr Cox, one of the scientists involved in the study, commented that the technique known as entropy could be applied to other situations. There the ‘maximum entropy' technique can help deduce information buried in data," he said.

Gravitational interaction unlikely on this size and mass scale
Talkback It could even be extracting heat from the external environment somehow and turning that into mechanical energy, but if they can do that with a device which is also at the ambient temperature then it's an apparent circumvention of the Second Law...

Chips weigh heavily on environment
News The disparity stems from entropy, or the amount of disorder in a system, the researchers said. Microchips and other high-tech goods are considered extremely low-entropy, highly organized forms of matter.

EGD
Downloads EGD is a daemon that watches for system activity, then writes that activity to / dev/random to feed its entropy pool. See man 4 random. EGD observes activity from three sources: keyboard and mouse events (using Carbon Events) distributed...
