چکیده

Although an analog technology, many DJs still value the turntable as an irreplaceable performance tool. Digital vinyl systems combine the distinct haptic nature of the analog turntable with the advantages of digital media. They use special records containing a digital timecode which is then processed by a computer and mapped to properties like playback speed and direction. These records, however, are generic and, in contrast to traditional vinyl, do not provide visual cues representing the structure of the track. We present a system that augments the timecode record with a visualization of song information such as artist, title, and track length, but also with a waveform that allows the DJ to visually navigate to a certain beat. We conducted a survey examining the acceptance of such tools in the DJ community and conducted a user study with professional DJs. The system was widely accepted as a tool in the DJ community and received very positive feedback during observational mixing sessions with four professional DJs.

Segmentation with Synchronizing Neural Oscillators

Zusammenfassung A neural network for the segmentation of sensory data is proposed. It is based on scale-space concepts and synchronizing behaviour of neural oscillators. Multiple objects of varying contrast are found in the sensory data and marked with a distinct timecode. The network operation is totally data-driven, with xed synaptic links between the elementary processing units.

Synthesis of Ethylene or Propylene/1,3-Butadiene Copolymers Possessing Pendant Vinyl Groups with Virtually No Internal Olefins

In general, ethylene/1,3-butadiene copolymerizations provides copolymers possessing both pendant vinyls and vinylenes as olefinic moieties. We, at MCI, studied the substituent effects of C2-symmetric zirconocene complexes, rac-[Me2Si(Indenyl’)2]ZrCl2 (Indenyl’ = generic substituted indenyl), after activation on the ratio of the pendant vinyls and vinylenes of the resultant copolymers. Complexes...

Text Visualization of Song Lyrics

We investigate techniques for visualizing song lyrics. Specifically, we present a design to tightly align musical and linguistic features of a song in a way that preserves the readability of lyrics, while conveying how the melodic, harmonic, and metric lines of the music fit with the text. We demonstrate and evaluate our technique on two examples that have been implemented using Protovis, and p...
