Input current distortion in the vicinity of input voltage zero crossing of Boost single-phase active power factor corrected rectifier in high line frequency is studied based on one cycle control method in this paper. The current loop model and input admittance model of active power correction based on one cycle control is particularly analyzed. The results point out that its equivalent power st...

Let K′ be a knot that admits no cosmetic crossing changes and let C be a prime, non-cable knot. Then any knot that is a satellite of C with winding number zero and pattern K′ admits no cosmetic crossing changes. As a consequence we prove the nugatory crossing conjecture for Whitehead doubles of prime, non-cable knots.

We focus the attention on the problem of audio classification in speech and music for multimedia applications. In particular, we present a comparison between two different techniques for speech/music discrimination. The first method is based on zero crossing rate and Bayesian classification. It is very simple from a computational point of view, and gives good results in case of pure music or sp...

The present paper examines the effects of saturation on the time domain parameters that can be extracted from recordings of speech. The kinds of saturation we are going to discuss in the paper include clipping, zeroing and two’s complement whereas the parameters we will take into considerations include root mean square (RMS, as correlated with loudness), zero crossing rate (ZCR), auto correlati...

This paper describes a technique for unsupervised audio segmentation. Main objective of the work presented in this paper is to study the performance of audio segmentation system using metric-based method. The system first classifies the audio signal into speech and nonspeech signal using variance of zero crossing rate. The feature Line spectral pair is used for automatically detecting the speak...

Audio classification serves as the fundamental step towards the rapid growth in audio data volume. Automatic audio classification is very useful in audio indexing; content based audio retrieval and online audio distribution. The accuracy of the classification relies on the strength of the features and classification scheme. In this work both, time domain and frequency domain features are extrac...

Minimum shift keying (MSK) modulation has features such as constant envelope, compact spectrum and good error performance, which are all desirable in many digital applications including mobile radio. Numerous receiver structures to demodulate MSK have been suggested, such as correlation receivers, differential detectors and frequency discriminators. MSK is a form of biphase keying and can be de...

Computational models of embedded control systems often combine continuous-time with discrete-event behavior, mathematically representing hybrid dynamic systems. An essential element of numerical simulation of a hybrid dynamic system is the generation of discrete events from continuous variables that exceed thresholds. In particular, the occurrence of such an event has to be detected and the poi...
