In this project, Entropic will serve as a technology transfer agent for the Speech and Language Systems (SLS) program. Our ultimate goal is to make complete systems developed in the course of SLS research readily available to interested parties in government, education, and industry. An intermediate goal is to provide clean, well documented implementations of speech recognition systems such as ...

Fast and accurate speech recognition systems systems bring with them the possibility of designing effective voice driven applications. Efforts to this date have involved the construction of monolithic systems, necessitating repetition of effort as each new system is implemented. In this paper, we describe an initial implementation of a general spoken language interface, the Carnegie Mellon Spok...

A materials structural and chemical composition influences its optical scattering properties. In this paper we investigate the use of subsurface laser scattering (SLS) for inferring structural and chemical information of food products. We have constructed a computer vision system based on a supercontinuum laser light source and an AcoustoOptic Tunable Filter (AOTF) to provide a collimated light...

Within the Baltic Sea Region INTERREG IIIB project `Sea level change affecting the spatial development in the Baltic Sea region' (SEAREG, 2002-2005) sea levels in past and future climate were investigated based upon 6-hourly regional model results. The main factors affecting the longterm mean sea level in the Baltic Sea are the land-uplift, the eustatic sea level rise, and the water balance of ...

We investigate the symmetric and anti-symmetric spin-orbit forces (SLS and ALS) of the effective ΛN interaction derived from a quark cluster model with the instantoninduced interaction (I I I), which can reproduce the observed YN cross sections as well as the observed NN scattering data. It is found that coupling to the ΣN channel enhances ΛN ALS, and therefore that the cancellation between SLS...

The orientation of SFF-manufactured parts can have a signiicant eeect on the quality of the parts, in both surface eeects and strength. Currently, orientation is either ignored or set on the basis of experience. This paper takes some simple experiments and creates quantitative measures relating diierent aspects of part quality to orientation. This leads to several computational tools for optimi...

The 3.2 +/- 0.2 millimeter per year global mean sea level rise observed by the Topex/Poseidon satellite over 1993-98 is fully explained by thermal expansion of the oceans. For the period 1955-96, sea level rise derived from tide gauge data agrees well with thermal expansion computed at the same locations. However, we find that subsampling the thermosteric sea level at usual tide gauge positions...

HOUSTON, J.R. and DEAN, R.G., 2011. Sea-level acceleration based on U.S. tide gauges and extensions of previous global-gauge analyses. Journal of Coastal Research, 27(3), 409–417. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Without sea-level acceleration, the 20th-century sea-level trend of 1.7 mm/y would produce a rise of only approximately 0.15 m from 2010 to 2100; therefore, sea-level acceler...
