Lie detection Lie detector results are very rarely admitted in evidence in the US courts. In 1983 the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment published a review of the technology and found: In the 2007 peer-reviewed academic article "Charlatanry in forensic speech science", the authors reviewed 50 years of lie detector research and came to the conclusion that there is no scientific evidence supporting that voice analysis lie detectors actually work. Lie detector manufacturer Nemesysco threatened to sue the academic publisher for libel resulting in removal of the article from online databases. In a letter to the publisher, Nemesysco's lawyers wrote that
Failure detector failure detector "W" is weak in completeness, and the failure detector "S" is strong in completeness. They are both weak in accuracy. If all arguments above are satisfied, the reduction of a weak failure detector "W" to a strong failure detector "S" will agree with the algorithm within the distributed computing system. Failure detector In a distributed computing system, a failure detector is a computer application or a subsystem that is responsible for the detection of node failures or crashes. Failure detectors were first introduced in 1996 by Chandra and Toueg in their book "Unreliable Failure Detectors for Reliable Distributed
