A user-friendly speech interface for car applications is highly needed for safety reasons. This paper will describe a speech interface VLSI designed for car environments, with speech recognition and speech compression/decompression functions. The chip has a heterogeneous architecture composed of ADC/DAC, DSP, RISC, hard-wired logic and peripheral circuits. The DSP not only executes acoustic ana...

This paper introduced fingerprint recognition to protect USB Key’s pin number. Pin number is easily stolen and sometimes it’s too hard to keep in mind. To overcome these problems, a fingerprint key based USB Key pin number protection system has been proposed. Using biometric like fingerprint to protect USB Key pin number improves security and convenience of users. And the fingerprint key is gen...

Introduction Advanced applications often require carbons with high surface area and hierarchical porous structures. In response to this demand some efforts have been undertaken to create materials, which effectively combine the properties of both activated carbons (high surface area) and ordered mesoporous carbons (tunable and well-developed porosity). While there are activation methods, which ...

hard magnetic srfe12o19 (srm) nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile sonochemical reaction. the magnetic nanoparticles were then added to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, and poly sulfone to make magnetic nanocomposites. the magnetic properties of the samples were also investigated using an alternating gradient force magnetometer. the strontium ferrite nanopartic...

The nondestructive determination of the maturity of durian is an important process for quality control. Since durian has specific properties, such as the thickness of peel, non-uniformity of shape, roughness of prickle skin, largeness of size etc., the nondestructive determination of the maturity is hard to perform. This paper proposes two approaches for determining maturity of durian by using ...
