The purpose of this paper is to investigate how trans-aural processing can enhance conventional multichannel audio both by embedding perceptually relevant information and by improving image stability using additional loudspeakers integrated with supplementary digital processing and coding. The key objective is to achieve scala-bility in spatial performance while retaining full compatibility wit...

This paper describes a versatile software toolbox, which has been developed for researching, teaching and developing in the field of multichannel sound signal processing. The software system runs on a PC and consists on 5 modules covering the main stages and aspects of multichannel sound reproduction using loudspeakers. A number of new and efficient algorithms have been specially implemented fo...

The intertwining operator technique is applied to difference Schrödinger equations with operator-valued coefficients. It is shown that these equations appear naturally when a discrete basis is used for solving a multichannel Schrödinger equation. New families of exactly solvable multichannel Hamiltonians are found. Intertwining technique for a system of difference Schrödinger equations 2

Blind multichannel identification is generally sensitive to background noise. Although there have been some efforts in the literature devoted to improving the robustness of blind multichannel identification with respect to noise, most of those works assume that the noise is Gaussian distributed, which is often not valid in real room acoustic environments. This paper deals with the more practica...

Today, multichannel retailing is a key strategic issue for most retailers. Yet, while there are many drivers associated with retailers going multichannel so too are there technology-related obstacles, however, few prior empirical studies explore these themes. In light of this, by using a multi-case approach to understand the key drivers and technology-related obstacles associated with retailers...

Multichannel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a breakthrough given the inherent limitation between high-resolution and wide-swath (HRWS) faced with conventional SAR. This paper aims to obtain unambiguous imaging of static scenes and moving targets with the first Chinese dual-channel spaceborne SAR sensor. We propose an integrated imaging scheme with the dual-channel echoes. In the imaging sche...

The auditory and aided lipreading performance of 8 prelingually and 11 postlingually deaf patients who had received a single-channel or multichannel cochlear implant was evaluated during 2 years of follow-up. Although all the patients improved on both closed-set pattern recognition and speech discrimination tests and on a Continuous Discourse Tracking task, the most significant improvement was ...
