The aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of new network architectures, like UMTS or NGN, over Intelligent Network evolution. First, it identifies the main drivers that can modify service platform paradigm, both from technical and market perspective. Moreover, those drivers cause the existence of alternative ways of designing and deploying value added services, like Open Service Archite...

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network such as IP. It is designed to transport public switched telephone network (PSTN) signaling messages over the connectionless packet network, but is capable of broader applications. This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which describes the m...

The task of speaker recognition is defined and some aspects of the human voice are addressed. Furthermore, the relevant effects of the telephone network on speech are treated. The general structure of a speaker verification system is finally outlined.

We present P300 harmonies: a P300-based Brain-Computer Musical Interface. Using a commercial low-cost EEG device, the user can voluntarily change the harmony of an arpeggio by focusing and mentally counting the occurrences of each note. The arpeggio consists of 6 notes separated by an interval of 175ms. The notes of the arpeggio are controlled through 6 switches, where each switch has two possi...

In this paper, we present models and the corresponding decision-support tool, SARTRE, for evaluating the Public Transport Networks (PTN), and more specifically a bus network. Firstly, we define the framework architecture of SARTRE. The PTN model is explained, and various evaluation and assessment methods are explained. These models and evaluation algorithms are specifically designed to address ...

conclusions telephone consultation partially based on a cognitive-behavioral approach significantly reduced the intensity of pain and improved the qol in patients with chronic pain in japan. results the pain intensities were significantly decreased from 7.6 ± 2.0 at baseline to 5.7 ± 2.9 on follow-ups assessed by a numerical rating scale (range; 0 - 10, p < 0.001, effect size (es); 0.76). the e...

In recent years have seen rapid progress in the construction of IP-VPN networks by carriers and new services have been born in that climate, enabled by the ability to process data and voice on the same network. As part of this trend, the time is right for the business of outsourcing of carrier telephone services. For this reason, we developed an improved model of IPstage*1) intended for use by ...

Internet cannot provide perfect information services for farmers in rural regions in China, because farmers in rural regions can hardly access the internet by now. But the wide coverage of mobile signal, telephone line, and television network, etc. gave us a chance to solve the problem. The integrated pest management platform of Northern fruit trees were developed based on the integrated techno...

Macrophone is a corpus of approximately 200,000 utterances, recorded over the telephone from a broad sample of about 5,000 American speakers. Sponsored by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC), it is the first of a series of similar data sets that will be colected for major languages of the world in a cooperative project called Polyphone. It is designed to provide telephone speech suitable for t...

These days there are many attempts to diagnose patient’s voice by only acoustic voice signal. The major purpose of such experiments are screening the possible patients and lead them to the early diagnosis and treatment. [1][2][3][4][5] Acoustic screening of patient's voice is important in terms of many aspects. It is important for both doctors, who is not an expert of vocal diseases and the pat...
