Monaural sound source separation is the process of separating sound sources from a single channel mixture. In mixtures of pitched musical instruments, the problem of overlapping harmonics poses a significant challenge to source separation and reconstruction. One standard method to resolve overlapped harmonics is based on the assumption that harmonics of the same source have correlated amplitude...

This study investigated the relationship between harmonic frequency resolution and fundamental frequency (f(0)) discrimination. Consistent with earlier studies, f(0) discrimination of a diotic bandpass-filtered harmonic complex deteriorated sharply as the f(0) decreased to the point where only harmonics above the tenth were presented. However, when the odd harmonics were mistuned by 3%, perform...

Harmonics in power distribution system are current or voltage that are integer multiples of fundamental frequency. For example if the fundamental frequency 50 Hz, then the 2-nd harmonics is 100Hz, the 3-rd is 150Hz, etc. A pure voltage or current sine wave has no distortion and no harmonics but non sinusoidal wave has distortion and harmonics. To quantify the distortion, the term total harmonic...

In this manuscript, the author has tried to analyze a study of Variable Frequency Drives. Variable frequency drives are energy saving drives. But they generate harmonics generates. Harmonics introduced by any means affect the performance parameters of any system The presence of harmonics is the system for a long duration & that, too, of higher order affect the various parameters in a Power dist...

Flyback converter belongs to a category of converters with isolation. This paper presents simplest approach simulate single phase AC-DC Converter and without filter. The use LC filter reduces the input frequency harmonics Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is analyzed. used step up voltage by varying duty cycle. preferred because simpler design lesser number components control strategy. deals clos...

This paper presents a new method to find the optimum switching angles in voltage source multilevel converters in order to minimize specific higher order harmonics and decrease the total harmonic distortion (THD) of their output voltage waveform. The output voltage waveform of inverter can either be in the form of staircase or PWM. In order to increase the degrees of freedom and elimination of m...

In this article we study a channel with arbitrarily varying channel probability functions in the presence of a noiseless feedback channel (a. v. ch. f.). We determine its capacity by proving a coding theorem and its strong converse. Our proof of the coding theorem is constructive; we give explicitly a coding scheme which performs at any rate below the capacity with an arbitrarily small decoding...

In a recent paper, Opasanon and Miller-Hooks study multicriteria adaptive paths in stochastic time-varying networks. They propose a label correcting algorithm for finding the full set of efficient strategies. In this note we show that their algorithm is not correct, since it is based on a property that does not hold in general. Opasanon and Miller-Hooks also propose an algorithm for solving a p...

Time-varying networks describe a wide array of systems whose constituents and interactions evolve over time. They are defined by an ordered stream of interactions between nodes, yet they are often represented in terms of a sequence of static networks, each aggregating all edges and nodes present in a time interval of size Δt. In this work we quantify the impact of an arbitrary Δt on the descrip...

Abstruct-The random-code capacity region of the multiple-access arbitrarily varying channel subject to both state and input constraints is determined. Consideration of a simple erasure channel shows that the capacity region is not convex in general.
