This paper describes an algorithm for name (surnames and personal names) announcement in American English implemented on DSP Group’s SmartCores (registered trademark) digital signal processor (dsp) core. The name announcement module is targeted for low cost applications therefor the amount of memory that can be allocated for dictionaries, program code, and runtime parameters is limited. The req...

This document describes a rule learning framework called SeCo (derived from Separate-and-Conquer). This framework uses building blocks to specify each component that is needed to build up a configuration for a rule learner. It is based on a general separate-and-conquer algorithm. The framework allows to configurate any given rule learner that fulfills some properties. These are mainly that it e...

An efficient algorithm for the direct solution of a linear system associated with the discretization of boundary integral equations with oscillatory kernels (in two dimensions) is described without having to compute the complete matrix of the linear system. This algorithm is based on the unitary-weight representation, for which a new construction based on adaptive cross approximation is propose...

Advances in multi-media have led to large range of video formats and, more specifically, to an ever increasing number of picture refresh rate frequencies. Video Format Conversion (VFC) therefor becomes a necessity. The more sophisticated VFC methods use motion estimation and motion compensation to prevent motion judder and motion blur. In this report the Object-based Motion Estimation (OME) alg...

|Compiler optimization research has a long history and very complex algorithms were developed to optimize code. Unfortunately these algorithms, however complex they may be, su er from the modular design of software. Compilers compile and optimize one source code module at a time. While they do so, they have no or few knowledge about the context in which the code will be executed. Even if summar...

Considering the use of dynamical systems in practical applications, often only limited regions time or frequency domain are interest. Therefor, it usually pays off to compute local approximations used and domain. In this paper, we consider a structure-preserving extension frequency- time-limited balanced truncation methods second-order systems. We give full overview about first-order extend tho...

The present invention provides a method for generating a timing offset signal applied to a sampling device for recovering a symbol stream from a broadcast signal by characterizing the dispersion of received signal. Preferably, the method includes steps for generating a derivative signal approximating the derivative of the symbol stream, producing a constant representative of an expected symbol ...
