An implementation of GSM EFR using traditional single MAC DSPs (DSP1600) takes 24 MIPS to run a single speech channel. Lucent DSP16000 is a dual MAC high performance DSP. Analysis has shown DSP16000 code can run GSM EFR at 10 MIPS per channel with the same program space as DSP1600. The code has been re-structured to minimize delays and RAM usage for multi-channel TRAU applications. For a 100 MI...

An analysis of the demands of ULSI and GSI technologies shows the necessity of multi-layer devices to reduction of signal transmission delay time. This reduction is realized by using a better conductor metal, such as Cu and a surrounding insulator with low capacity than actually used, such as Dow Cyclotene 3022. In this paper, the results of evaporated and sputtered Cu to Dow Cyclotene 3022 wer...

Introduction When a liquid is irradiated with high-intensity and low-frequency ultrasound, acoustic cavitation occurs and there are some methods to determine and quantify this phenomenon. The existing methods for performing these experiments include sonochemiluminescence (SCL) and chemical dosimetric methods. The particles in a liquid decrease the ultrasonic intensity threshold needed for cavit...

This research was carried out on enhancing throat microphone speech for noise-robust speech keyword spotting. The enhancement was performed by mapping the log-energy in the Mel-frequency bands of throat microphone speech to those of the corresponding close-talk microphone speech. An analytic equation detection system, Eureqa, which can infer nonlinear relations directly from observed data, was ...

background: electromyographic (emg) signal decomposition is the process by which an emg signal is decomposed into its constituent motor unit potential trains (mupts). a major step in emg decomposition is feature extraction in which each detected motor unit potential (mup) is represented by a feature vector. as with any other pattern recognition system, feature extraction has a significant impac...

Analytical and Monte Carlo simulations have been used to predict dose enhancement factors in nanoparticle-enhanced X-ray radiation therapy. Both simulations predict an increase in dose enhancement in the presence of nanoparticles, but the two methods predict different levels of enhancement over the studied energy, nanoparticle materials, and concentration regime for several reasons. The Monte C...

We present a method of enhanced convergence for the approximation of analytic functions. This method introduces conformal transformations in the approximation problems in order to help extract the values of a given analytic function from its Taylor expansion. We show that conformal transformations can extend the radius of convergence of a power series far into infinity, enhance substantially it...

Hilbert transform (HT) is an important tool in constructing analytic signals for various purposes, such as envelope and instantaneous frequency analysis, amplitude modulation, shift invariant wavelet analysis and Hilbert-Huang decomposition. In this work we introduce a method for computation of HT based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT). We show that the Hilbert transformed signal can be o...
