An Automatic Compensating Flow Meter.

An Automatic Critical Care Urine Meter

Nowadays patients admitted to critical care units have most of their physiological parameters measured automatically by sophisticated commercial monitoring devices. More often than not, these devices supervise whether the values of the parameters they measure lie within a pre-established range, and issue warning of deviations from this range by triggering alarms. The automation of measuring and...

Automatic meter extraction from midifiles

This paper presents an automatic meter extraction system which relies on auto-correlation coefficients. The input format for music is midi, and we assume that a beat is known. As output, our algorithm provides a set of possible metric groupments sorted by a confidence criteria. The algorithm has been tested on several pieces of Rameau and results are encouraging.

Compensating hyperarticulation for automatic speech recognition

This thesis details the effects of hyperarticulation in the context of automatic speech recognition used for human-to-machine interaction. Hyperarticulation can be characterised as a speaking mode exhibiting an exaggerated articulation and occurs as a natural reaction in an effort to resolve recognition errors. Despite the user’s attempt to disambiguate word confusions, hyperarticulation causes...

In Line Flow-meter Calibration

An evaluation of the mini-Wright peak flow meter.

The mini-Wright peak flow meter (MPFM) has been evaluated, and the results obtained from it show a strong positive correlation (r=0.970) with the Wright's peak flow meter (PFM). MPFM measurements, however, were biased to be about 38 1/min higher than PFM measurements (95% confidence limits 31.01/min to 45.01/min). Between instrument variation was found (F--ratio 3.67 with 9 and 81 degrees of fr...
