چکیده
This paper presents the Accessible Spectrum Analyser (ASA) developed as part of the DePic project (Design Patterns for Inclusive collaboration) at Queen Mary University of London. The ASA uses sonification to provide an accessible representation of frequency spectra to visually impaired audio engineers. The software is free and open source and is distributed as a VST plug-in under OSX and Windows. The aim of reporting this work at the ICAD 2016 conference is to solicit feedback about the design of the present tool and its more generalized counterpart, as well as to invite ideas for other possible applications where it is thought that auditory spectral analysis may be useful, for example in situations where line of sight is not always possible.

Accurate Electromagnetic Exposure Assessment around Umts Base Stations with a Spectrum Analyser
The purpose of the investigation was to derive the optimal configuration of the spectrum analyser when used for the exposure assessment around base stations, together with the associated uncertainty and the underlying rationale for the chosen settings. A base-band simulation model for both the spectrum analyser and the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) communication signals has ...
متن کاملA spread spectrum network analyser
The paper describes the realisation of a Spread Spectrum Network Analyser using appropriate software to control a PC interface card, like a soundcard. The software generates a digitised time waveform consisting of a Spread Spectrum signal containing a number of equal amplitude spectral components. The interface card converts this waveform to an analogue signal, which is then passed through the ...

Three beam diagnostics developments for the current operation of the SIS18 and the high energy beam transport (HEBT) lines are described: a service program for SIS18 diagnostics, a tool for spill structure analysis and the renewed beam position monitor system in the HEBT lines. Service program for SIS18 diagnostics Since SIS operating started, a lot of measurements for beam characterisation wit...
متن کاملSparse coding of the modulation spectrum for noise-robust automatic speech recognition
The full modulation spectrum is a high-dimensional representation of one-dimensional audio signals. Most previous research in automatic speech recognition converted this very rich representation into the equivalent of a sequence of short-time power spectra, mainly to simplify the computation of the posterior probability that a frame of an unknown speech signal is related to a specific state. In...
متن کاملTWO PHOTON TRANSITIONS IN THE OPTOGALVANIC SPECTRUM OF NEON
Seventeen two-photon transitions for neon have been observed in the 580- 635 nm spectral region for use in the spectroscopic study of its higher excited levels, which are not accessible by one-photon absorption. To compare the two and one-photon absorption signals originating from the same lower level, an effort was made to record single-photon optogalvanic spectrum in the available wavele...
