This paper deals with careful non-real-time LPC analysis. A baseline system is first described. lt uses a pitch-synchronous covariancemethod analysis with a laryngograph signal providing the pitch synchrony. Work to improve the voicing decision and F0 determination and to find a better voiced excitation waveform is described. Setting a lower Iimit on the value of B 1 is found to be useful. Buzz...

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) play an important role in increasing the safety on today’s roads. Forward collision warning systems, lane change assistants or cooperative adaptive cruise control are examples of safety relevant applications that rely on accurate relative positioning between vehicles. Current solutions found in commercial automobiles estimate the position of surrounding...

In this paper, we first provide a careful description of the denotational semantics of exceptions in an object-oriented setting. Then we define a proof system for exceptions which is sound with respect to this denotational semantics. Our proof system is close to the syntax, as in effect systems, in the sense that the exceptions do not appear explicitly in the type of expressions which may raise...

Software architecture, configuration management, and configurable distributed systems are three areas of research that until now have evolved separately. Contributions in each field have focused on their respective area of concern. However, as solutions in the three fields tend to center around some notion of a system model, it is worthwhile to investigate their relationship in detail. In parti...

the effect of evaporation rate on structural, morphological and optical properties of electron beam evaporated cds thin films have been investigated. cds thin film deposited by electron beam evaporation method in 12nm/min and 60nm/min evaporation rates on glass substrates. x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, uv-vis-nir spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to character...

the location-routing problem is a relatively new branch of logistics system. its objective is to determine a suitable location for constructing distribution warehouses and proper transportation routing from warehouse to the customer. in this study, the location-routing problem is investigated with considering fuzzy servicing time window for each customer. another important issue in this regard ...

Typically two configurations are used for energy harvesting with different advantages: piezoelastic and piezomagnetoelastic. Best performance of the piezoelastic configuration is when the excitation frequency is close to the resonance frequency. If the input frequency slightly deviates from the natural frequency, the generated power is severely decreased. To tackle the problem, the piezomagneto...

Dynamic control of the speed of a light signal, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers, was theoretically studied and also experimentally demonstrated as the core object of this thesis. To date, slow light based on stimulated Brillouin scattering has shown the unmatched flexibility to offer an efficient timing tool for the development of all-optical future router. Neverthele...
