adaptive optics (gcide) | adaptive optics \adaptive optics\ n. (Astron.)
an optical system used in some telescopes since the 1980's
which rapidly changes the shape of the primary reflecting
mirror to adjust for distortions of light which are caused by
atmospheric turbulence. By reducing the distortions caused by
the atmosphere, telescopes fitted with such optics can
achieve a higher resolving power than normal telescopes with
static mirrors.

adaptive answering (foldoc) | adaptive answering
A feature which allows a faxmodem to answer
the telephone and decide whether the incoming call is a fax or
data call. Most Class 1 faxmodems do this. The
U.S. Robotics Class 1 implementation however seems not to do
it, it must be set to answer as either one or the other.

ADPCM
(ADPCM) A compression technique which
records only the difference between samples and adjusts the
coding scale dynamically to accomodate large and small
differences. ADPCM is simple to implement, but introduces
much noise.

Sybase SQL Server
(ASE) The relational database management system that
started life in the mid-eighties [first release?] as "Sybase SQL
Server". For a number of years Microsoft was a Sybase
distributor, reselling the Sybase product for OS/2 and (later)
Windows NT under the name "Microsoft SQL Server".
Around 1994, Microsoft basically bought a copy of the {source
code} of Sybase SQL Server and then went its own way. As
competitors, Sybase and Microsoft have been developing their
products independently ever since. Microsoft has mostly
emphasised ease-of-use and "Window-ising" the product, while
Sybase has focused on maximising performance and reliability,
and running on high-end hardware.
When releasing version 11.5 in 1997, Sybase renamed its
product to "ASE" to better distinguish its database from
Microsoft's. Both ASE and MS SQL Server call their query
language "Transact-SQL" and they are very similar.
Sybase SQL Server was the first true client-server RDBMS
which was also capable of handling real-world workloads. In
contrast, other DBMSs have long been monolithic programs; for
example, Oracle only "bolted on" client-server functionality
in the mid-nineties. Also, Sybase SQL Server was the first
commercially successful RDBMS supporting stored procedures
and triggers, and a cost-based query optimizer.
As with many other technology-driven competitors of Microsoft,
Sybase has lost market share to MS's superior marketing,
though many consider it has the superior system.

ATRAC
(ATRAC) An audio compression algorithm,
introduced by Sony for its Mini Disk, which relies on the
masking of low-amplitude frequency components by temporaly
adjacent high-amplitude components. ATRAC consists of a
three-band subband encoder (0...5.5, 5.5...11, 11...22 kHz)
and a MDCT based transformation encoder.
