Hopf or Hoff?

I just noticed that [widrow] refers to the "Wiener-Hopf" equation, yet
in that same chapter's bibliography a reference is cited with
M.E.Hoff, Jr.  as an author. The Wikipedia page on Widrow also uses
"Hoff":

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Widrow

Is this the same guy? These are just spelling differences?

I've always seen it as "Wiener-Hopf" equation since I used [widrow] in
my first class on adaptive filters.

@book{widrow,
  title = "Adaptive Signal Processing",
  author = "Bernard Widrow and Samuel D. Stearns",
  publisher = "Prentice-Hall",
  edition = "first",
  year = "1985"}

Just a coincidence. Two different pairs of collaborators with similar
names, but Widrow-Hoff != Wiener-Hopf.

Then the Wikipedia page is outright wrong? It not only utilizes the
spelling "Hoff" but it specifically refers to "Ted Hoff," which is
a link to "Marcian Edward Hoff."

It's Hopf with Wiener and Hoff with Widrow - just a coincidence.
