A recently published method for audio style transfer has shown how to extend the process of image style transfer to audio. This method synthesizes audio "content" and "style" independently using the magnitudes of a short time Fourier transform, shallow convolutional networks with randomly initialized filters, and iterative phase reconstruction with Griffin-Lim. In this work, we explore whether ...

The progress of the joint Pilot Project for time transfer, formed by the International GPS Service (IGS) and the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), was recently reviewed. Three notable milestones were set. 1) The IGS will implement, at least in a test mode, an internally realized time scale based on an integration of combined frequency standards within the IGS network. This will ...

The present technology of atomic clocks rnotivatcs time transfer tcclrniques with nanosecond accuracy. Global Positioning System (GPS), the most colllnlon means for international time comparisons could achieve such acciiracy ovthr short, rlista~lccs (up to 1000 km). Over intercontinental distances the accuracy of the GPS tirrlc: transfer ranges between 20 and 30 ns. Some of the principal error ...

Inter-Satellite links (ISLs) will be an important technique for a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in the future. Based on the principles of general relativity, the time transfer in an ISL is modeled and the algorithm for onboard computation is described. It is found, in general, satellites with circular orbits and identical semi-major axes can benefit inter-satellite time transfer by ...

Walking time prediction aims to deduce waiting time and travel time for passengers and provide a quantitative basis for the subway schedule management. This model is founded based on transfer passenger flow and type of pedestrian facilities. Chaoyangmen station in Beijing was taken as the learning set to obtain the relationship between transfer walking speed and passenger volume. The sectional ...

The development towards more services in the digital domain, based on computers and server logs at different locations and in different networks, increases the need for high precision time indication. Even though GPS can support this with sufficient precision, many users do not have access to outdoor antennas. Furthermore, there is vulnerability in the weak radio-transmission from the satellite...

In previous papers we discussed results from fully time-dependent radiative transfer models for core-collapse supernova (SN) ejecta, including the Type II-peculiar SN 1987A, the more ‘generic’ SN II-Plateau, and more recently Type IIb/Ib/Ic SNe. Here we describe the modifications to our radiative modelling code, CMFGEN, which allowed those studies to be undertaken. The changes allow for time-de...

Currently, time series anomaly detection is attracting significant interest. This is especially true in industry, where companies continuously monitor all aspects of production processes using various sensors. In this context, methods that automatically detect anomalous behavior in the collected data could have a large impact. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, it is often difficult to co...

The usual approach to transporting images uses TCP, which provides a general reliable, in-order bytestream abstraction, but which is excessively restrictive for image data. We analyze the series of image quality at the handset with time and show that the in-order release abstraction provided by a TCP-based approach prevents the handset application from processing and rendering portions of an im...

Strong visible emission under UV (320 nm) and IR (967 nm) excitation on ZrO2:Sm 3+ and ZrO2:Er 3+ nanophosphors were obtained and the concentration effect on the luminescence and crystalline structure is reported. Experimental results shows that phase composition depend on the ion concentration. The visible emission obtained under UV excitation is produced by the transitions G5/2 ! H5/2,7/2,9/2...
