We determine the computational complexity of the problem of ordering a set of n numbers into a sequence as well as the problem of ordering them into a cycle, such that the maximum sum of k successive numbers is minimal. The former problem arises in effectively storing multimedia data on multi-zone hard disks. Conclusions: Both the problems are easy for k = 2 and strongly NP-hard for any k ≥ 3. ...

The celebrated Modigliani-Miller (hereafter MM) proposition that the value of the firm depends on its profitability and not on its capital structure (Modigliani and Miller 1958) is avowedly an application to the field of finance of the doctrine that money is neutral. The broad purpose of this paper is to call into question the claim for the neutrality of money in the particular case of the mone...

Philips recently released a new VCSEL and photodiode product family for the fast growing FDR InfiniBandTM generation. In this work we review the influence of production process variations on VCSEL characteristics, the FDR VCSEL transmission behavior as well as wear-out reliability characteristics. Data collected during an initial 15 wafers pilot production batch verify that FDR VCSEL manufactur...

A high-level architecture of a hybrid reconfigurable CPU, based on a Philips-supported core processor, is introduced. It features the Philips XPLA2 CPLD as a reconfigurable functional unit. A compilation chain is presented, in which automatic implementation of time-critical program segments in custom hardware is performed. The entire process is transparent from the programmer's point of view. T...

We have extended the Philips large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system towards Chinese On the way from our existing Western language technology to Mandarin the rst step was to build a suitable phonetic model This paper describes the development of our phonetic model excluding tones for Mandarin Chinese We will present a systematic comparison of three forms of sub syllabic units for ...

In this paper we describe some characteristics of the acoustic modeling used in the Philips continuous-speech recognition system for the DARPA Hub-4 1997 evaluation, which are related to robustness issues. We aimed at a conceptually simple system: We trained two model sets on 70 hours of the Hub-4 training data, one for within-word and one for crossword decoding. These model sets were used for ...
