This report presents a novel, cascaded approach to non-linear acoustic echo cancellation (AEC). The loudspeaker enclosure microphone (LEM) system is divided into two blocks: non-linear clipping and power filtering, and a conventional, linear AEC. They represent the non-linear amplifier and loudspeaker and linear acoustic channel and up-link path in a typical mobile communication scenario. We pr...

Results from several experiments were reviewed to collect information on the value of piglet " needle-neeth " clipping. The incidence of facial and udder lesions generally is increased when teeth are left intact. However, there is no evidence that these lesions affect piglet mortality or weaning weight. Thus, based on the conditions of these experiments, there is no strong justification for tee...

Multiple color coordinate systems are usually involved in color image applications or systems. Forward and backward transformations are used to switch between color coordinate systems. The out of gamut problem emerges when the color coordinate systems’ gamut is different. Conventional approaches, including clipping R, G, B values and clipping luminance value are not ideal as they both produce s...

In this paper, we propose a simple technique for the reduction of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR), based on Clipping and Differential Scaling, in Orthogonal FrequencyDivision Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In this technique, the amplitude of complex OFDM signal is clippedand then scaled in such a way so that the PAPR is reduced without causingmuch degradation in bit error rate (BER). We h...

A technique that uses clipping has been recently proposed to reduce the peak-toaverage-power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency divisional multiplexing (OFDM) signals. The technique uses a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) based filter to reduce out-ofband (OOB) power after the interpolated baseband OFDM signal is clipped. In this paper, the technique is applied to HIPERLAN2 to reduce the PAPR...

A perceptual study has been performed to investigate relationship between acoustic parameters and the voice individuality making use of the pitch synchronous analysis-synthesis system Voice-individuality is involved in many acoustic parameters and the aim of this experiment is to examine how individual parameters affect the voice-individuality by separately giving them some distortions. Formant...

Abstract: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing combined with time division multiplexing (OFDM/TDM) was proposed to overcome the high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) of conventional OFDM. Clipping and filtering can be used to further reduce the PAPR. OFDM/TDM with minimum mean square error (MMSE) frequency-domain equalization (FDE) requires accurate channel estimation (CE). In this pape...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The management of aneurysms is controversial because little is known about the impact of clipping on long-term outcome. This study was designed to evaluate long-term survival of patients with aneurysms undergoing clipping in a statewide population. METHODS We used a retrospective design using an administrative database to identify patients hospitalized with aneurysms (1...
