Performative time and pitch scaling is a new research paradigm for prosodic analysis by synthesis. In this paper, a system for real-time recorded speech time and pitch scaling by the means of hands or feet gestures is designed and evaluated. Pitch is controlled with the preferred hand, using a stylus on a graphic tablet. Time is controlled using rhythmic frames, or constriction gestures, define...

The purpose of this paper is to describe a self-adjusting, vision-based controller which is able to control the position of a robotic manipulator without explicit calibration of camera parameters. The control strategy is based on the concepts of cyclic switching (Pait 1993) and dwell-time switching (Morse 1995a). With these techniques, it is possible to design and implement a supervisory contro...

Retrospective case-control studies are more susceptible to selection bias than other epidemiologic studies as by design they require that both cases and controls are representative of the same population. However, as cases and control recruitment processes are often different, it is not always obvious that the necessary exchangeability conditions hold. Selection bias typically arises when the s...

As wind farms become larger, there is scope for improved operation via farm control. Further development of control would be facilitated by more flexible and so turbines. A novel approach to proposed that provides full flexibility both. It consists a controller architecture an interface individual The design specific realisation the interface, Power Adjusting Controller, presented requires litt...

End effector tracking control of robot manipulators subject to dynamical uncertainties is the main objective this article. Direct task space that aims minimizing end error directly preferred. In open loop system, vector depends on uncertain terms modeled via a fuzzy logic network and self-adjusting adaptive component designed as part nonlinear proportional derivative based input torque. The sta...
