Digital tuning systems are fast replacing the conventional mechanical systems in AM/FM and television receivers. The desirability of the digital approach is mainly due to the following features: Y Precise tuning of station frequencies Y Exact digital frequency display Y Keyboard entry of desired frequency Y Virtually unlimited station memory Y Up/down scanning through the band Y Station ‘‘searc...

We present an evaluation of dual–purpose speech, a technique designed to provide support during a face–to–face conversation by leveraging a user’s conversational speech for input. With a dual–purpose speech interaction, the user’s speech is meaningful in the context of a human–to–human conversation while providing useful input to a computer. For our experiment, we evaluate the ability to schedu...

The first part of this work summarises the basic knowledge about holography principles including wave optics and diffraction. The summarised knowledge is consequently exploited in the second part of this work that regards the methods of digital hologram synthesis. The synthesis methods were evaluated and compared and the perspective ones were announced. The perspective synthesis methods served ...

The APEX system [1] enables vocal tract articulation using a reduced set of user controllable parameters by means of Principal Component Analysis of X-ray tract data. From these articulatory profiles it is then possible to calculate cross-sectional area function data that can be used as input to a number of articulatory based speech synthesis algorithms. In this paper the Kelly-Lochbaum 1-D dig...
