Cepstrum is an algorithm for analyzing the speech signals in frequency domain. This is conventional method of fundamental peak picking i.e. fundamental frequency or pitch. For a speech signal it is necessary to identify the fundamental frequency correctly in order to have robust system for speaker identification and verification. Using this approach two algorithms has been proposed using Hammin...

In modern wireless communication systems, Doppler frequency reduction is employed for efficient transmission of data in noisy environments. Achieving a very less bit error rate (BER) has been the major task in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), which is a popular multicarrier modulation technique in IEEE 802.11a wireless systems and is currently being used in the IEEE 802.16...

UNLABELLED In the Barber-Pole Illusion (BPI), a diagonally moving grating is perceived as moving vertically because of the narrow, vertical, rectangular shape of the aperture window through which it is viewed. This strong shape-motion interaction persists through a wide range of parametric variations in the shape of the window, the spatial and temporal frequencies of the moving grating, the con...

The element-free Galerkin method is employed for two-dimensional analysis of steady-state heat transfer. The unknown response of the system, i.e. temperature is approximated using the moving least squares technique. Numerical integration of governing simultaneous system of equations is performed by Gauss quadrature and new modified nodal integration techniques. Numerical examples and tests have...

for disparity estimation is introduced. In the proposed approach the size of the matching window is adapted according to the spatial variability of the matching areas. That is, the window size is constrained by the variations of the image intensity. A modified semivariogram function is proposed to measure the spatial variability of concerned sampling positions. Results of computer experiments a...

While manipulating an interface, users often generate a proliferation of windows that overlap with each other and cause disorganization. Given a cluttered screen, many actions are possible to reorganize the configuration including moving and minimizing windows. This paper claims that three types of knowledge xist to aid the user and the system in intelligently reducing the clutter. They are the...

A binary matrix can be scanned by moving a fixed rectangular window (submatrix) across it, rather like examining it closely under a microscope. With each viewing, a convenient measurement is the number of 1s visible in the window, which might be thought of as the luminosity of the window. The rectangular scan of the binary matrix is then the collection of these luminosities presented in matrix ...

This paper describes a window-based policing mechanism, called Time Slotted Moving Window. Its key idea consists in aggregating the arrival events computation in order to minimize the processing and buffering requirements. Its main characteristics are simplicity, low implementation complexity, memory saving and use of a single low precision timer. Its performance behavior ranges from jumping wi...
