In the context of the realisation of a Text-To-Speech[1] system for Irish[2], a new algorithm for speech synthesis has been developed. This algorithm, which achieves synthesis by concatenation of diphones, is based principally on two classical signal processing techniques: the linear prediction and the Overlap and Add (OLA). Unlike the well-known TD-PSOLA method, no pitch marking is required; i...
متن کاملPatient-controlled analgesia.
One of the most common methods for providing postoperative analgesia is via patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Although the typical approach is to administer opioids via a programmable infusion pump, other drugs and other modes of administration are available. This article reviews the history and practice of many aspects of PCA and provides extensive guidelines for the practice of PCA-administ...
