This paper proposes an effective numerical methodology to analyze the mechanism of the separation of an inserted type of solid rocket booster from a supersonic air breathing engine vehicle having a conical intake. Unlike the previous computational fluid dynamic (CFD) approach, present work constructs a compacted model capable to reduce the computational time definitely. The dynamics of vehicle ...

Through five experiments, we demonstrate and characterize the basic functionality of imaging fiber bundles for optoelectronic chip-level interconnections. We demonstrate the transmission of spot arrays with spot sizes and a spot pitch roughly equal to 2 and 4 times the core pitch, respectively. We show that optoelectronic integrated circuits, including sources and detectors, can be butt coupled...

We develop an acoustic feature set for the estimation of a person’s age from a recorded speech signal. The baseline features are Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) which are extended by various prosodic features, pitch and formant frequencies. From experiments on the University of Florida Vocal Aging Database we can draw different conclusions. On the one hand, adding prosodic, pitch an...

In the five experiments described in this paper we demonstrate and characterize the basic functionality of imaging fiber bundles for optoelectronic chip level interconnections. We demonstrate the transmission of spot arrays with spot sizes and spot pitch roughly equal to two and four times the core pitch respectively. We show that optoelectronic integrated circuits, including sources and detect...

In this paper, we investigate two statistical models for the source-filter based single channel speech separation task. We incorporate source-driven aspects by pitch estimation in the model-driven method which models the vocal-tract part as a priori knowledge. This approach results in a speaker independent (SI) source separation method. For modeling the vocal tract filters Gaussian mixture mode...

In the first-ever demonstration of FinFET technology suitable for 10-nm CMOS manufacturing – pushing device scaling two nodes beyond the current leading-edge volume production technology – Samsung and others will jointly showcase a platform technology for low-power and high-performance applications. It offers the tightest contacted poly pitch (64 nm) and metallization pitch (48 nm) ever reporte...

This paper tries to introduce a new strategy and tools for voice quality research that complements conventional approaches. A very high-quality speech analysis, modification and synthesis procedure STRAIGHT, which is basically a channel VOCODER based on a pitch-synchronous analysis synthesis framework, was extended to implement auditory morphing in terms of spectral, pitch and voice quality par...

In this paper, we propose the use of spatial and harmonic features in combination with long short term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network (RNN) for automatic sound event detection (SED) task. Real life sound recordings typically have many overlapping sound events, making it hard to recognize with just mono channel audio. Human listeners have been successfully recognizing the mixture of over...

Back-channel feedback, responses such as uh-uh from a listener, is a pervasive feature of conversation. It has long been thought that the production of back-channel feedback depends to a large extent on the actions of the other conversation partner, not just on the volition of the one who produces them. In particular, prosodic cues from the speaker have long been thought to play a role, but hav...

A novel system for realtime range and geometry estimation of a group of smartphones colocated in a shared physical space is presented. The system uses off-the-shelf devices and employs audible signals to estimate inter-device (pairwise) distances. Coordinated sound synthesis and processing of a pair of pitched sounds allows to estimate the distance between two devices based on the travel time. ...
