The Electromagnetic Compatibility Industry Association ( EMCIA ), formed in March 2002 for the benefit of companies involved in the supply, design, test or manufacture of EMC products, or the provision of EMC Services and is a UKTI Accredited Trade Organisation, submitted a stern report to the Parliamentary Committee overseeing broadband, stating that they ".. very strongly recommend that the Committee specifically excludes the use of PowerLine Telecommunication ( PLT *)..."

On April 10, 2007, the Apache Software Foundation sent an open letter to Sun Microsystems CEO, Jonathan Schwartz regarding their inability to acquire an acceptable license for the Java SE 5 Technology Compatibility Kit ( TCK ), a test kit needed by the project to demonstrate compatibility with the Java SE 5 specification, as needed by the Sun specification license for Java SE 5.

An archived copy of the document IMA Recommended Practices for Enhancing Digital Audio Compatibility in Multimedia Systems ( version 3. 0 ), which describes the IMA ADPCM algorithm, is available.

Compatibility with Mozilla extensions is also limited, with only a few extensions that can be integrated.

Compatibility is important for products to be successful ; many devices coming out have USB, Ethernet, or other standard types of connection.

Compatibility between the groups is also high, but problematic, especially in the case of RM2's vast array of optional rules, some of which will simply not work in RMSS or RMFRP without modification.

Compatibility is almost full at BIOS level, but even at register level, a very high value of compatibility is reached.

Compatibility between chips in each family is fairly good, although I / O controller features may vary.

Compatibility with Inkscape: Inkscape's native format is SVG, which is supported by AI, but the two implementations are not 100 % compatible.

A final JSR provides a reference implementation that is a free implementation of the technology in source code form and a Technology Compatibility Kit to verify the API specification.

Compatibility between implementations as a whole is spotty at best and should be researched before using it across multiple platforms where shared data is a primary intent.

The DVD + RW Compatibility and Convergence Group is responsible for working on the technical issues involved in the compatibility between the various hardware products using the plus format.

" Another quotation attributed to him is " Compatibility means deliberately repeating other people's mistakes.

Backward compatibility between newer drives and older tapes is not assured ; for examples, see HP's DDS Media Compatibility Matrix.

Compatibility testing has always been, and still is, the predominant component of interoperability testing, and it is the element that most people associate with " interoperability ".

Compatibility testing is the program component that helps to ensure devices purchased today will work with Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices already owned or purchased in the future.

* Compatibility Mode, also known as Centronics standard or SPP, is a uni-directional implementation with only a few differences from the original Centronics design.

* Nibble Mode is an interface that allows the device to transmit data four bits ( a nibble ) at a time, ( re ) using four of the status lines of Compatibility Mode for data.

If the host receives no reply in this mode, it will assume that the device is a legacy printer, and enter Compatibility Mode.

* Compatibility between all numeric types ( mixed expressions )

Compatibility with Windows 3. 0 ( and later Windows 3. 1 ) was achieved by adapting Windows user-mode code components to run inside a virtual DOS machine.

* Compatibility: Compatible with Mega Drive / Genesis models 1 and 2, JVC Wondermega / X ' Eye and the Multi-Mega / CDX.

Compatibility with digital logic must be verified while using an op-amp as a comparator.

** PCMCIA Compatibility: Supports SunDisk ( SanDisk ) ATA Flash, 3. 3 V and 5 V SRAM, AT & T Paradyne KeepInTouch modem, Megahertz PCMCIA 14. 4 kbit / s modem with XJACK, and PNB Samantha modem.

* Compatibility with scalars: ( ax ) · ( by ) = ( ab )( x · y ).

Compatibility with other IBM systems

* Compatibility with Apple Remote and the Keynote remote application for iPhone and iPod touch.

* the Compatibility Audit which deals with the strategic components of the transaction and in particular the need to add shareholder value and

Compatibility with various machines was achieved using a DIP switch and computer-specific cables.

* Compatibility — HUD components are designed to be compatible with other avionics, displays, etc.

Compatibility with CDMA2000 would have beneficially enabled roaming on existing networks beyond Japan, since Qualcomm CDMA2000 networks are widely deployed, especially in the Americas, with coverage in 58 countries.

** FreeBSD's Linux Compatibility Layer, which enables binaries built specifically for Linux to run on FreeBSD with the same way as the native FreeBSD API layer.

; Compatibility: Legacy software or software using a different ABI must sometimes be run in a chroot because their supporting libraries or data files may otherwise clash in name or linkage with those of the host system.

Starting from HKSCS-2004, all characters using to Private Use Area section of Unicode are remapped, with many of them reassigned to Extension B Block or Supplementary Ideographic Plane Compatibility Block.
