In this paper, we present a new single-channel noise reduction method that integrates compensation and soft masking into the same statistical model assumptions for noise-robust speech recognition. By utilizing a Gaussian mixture model(GMM) as a pre-knowledge of speech and added noise signals, the proposed method can effectively restore clean speech spectra and separate out ambient noises from a...

Atypical antipsychotics have been linked to weight gain, hyperglycemia, and diabetes. We examined the effects of atypical antipsychotics olanzapine (OLZ) and risperidone (RIS) versus placebo on adiposity, insulin sensitivity (S(I)), and pancreatic beta-cell compensation. Dogs were fed ad libitum and given OLZ (15 mg/day; n = 10), RIS (5 mg/day; n = 10), or gelatin capsules (n = 6) for 4-6 weeks...

This paper presents an advanced dynamic voltage restorer with integrated energy optimal compensation (EOC-DVR), which combines the advantages of pre-sag and minimization compensation. The performance parameters EOC-DVR, such as compensatory capability, loss energy, duration compensation, can be balanced by this strategy. Additionally, impact on load is further reduced proposed method. By analyz...

Laser-scanning microscopy (LSM) commonly employs galvanometer-driven mirrors for beam steering. To achieve frame rates sufficient to capture time-dependent signals in functional imaging applications, these inertia-limited components often restrict scan patterns to line-scans. This has several disadvantages: 1) frame rates are limited to ~100Hz, despite the sacrifice of one scan dimension; 2) si...

The paper proposes a novel self-reference voltage pre-regulator for LED driver chip. The system modeling of the self-reference voltage pre-regulator is established, which is composed of pre-regulator circuit and reference voltage generating circuit. The reference voltage generating circuit generates a reference voltage, in which the circuit returns the reference voltage as the reference voltage...

In this paper, a new approach for the compensation of unknown periodic disturbances by means of a neural network is presented. The neural controller supports the conventional controller by suppressing periodic disturbances. This is done by online learning in order to adapt to different operating conditions and to time varying unknown disturbances. The neural network learns an optimal compensati...

In-situ monitor is a promising strategy to measure timing slacks and to provide pre-error warning prior to any timing violation. In this work, we demonstrate that the usage of in-situ monitors with a feedback loop of voltage regulation is suitable for process and temperature compensation. Index Terms — in-situ timing monitors, CMOS reliability, timing margin..

Orthognathic surgery is a surgical procedure which is widely practiced throughout world for the correction of various maxillofacial deformities. The procedure for correction of a particular deformity will be done after proper evaluation, which includes cephalometric and dental model analysis and photographs. The patient undergoes pre surgical orthodontic correction for the dental compensation a...
