A real-time unwanted-audio cancellation system is developed. The system enhances recorded sound by canceling unwanted loudspeaker sounds picked up during the recording. After cancellation, the resulting sound gives an improved estimation of the live performer’s sound. The cancellation works by estimating the unwanted audio signal and subtracting it from the recorded signal. The canceller is com...

Cancellation is a process by which an interfering source (“jammer”) is removed from a mixture of sounds on the basis of its structure. This is part of the task of “scene analysis” that confronts natural organisms and artificial devices. Jammer cancellation is distinct from, and complementary to, target enhancement. Time-domain cancellation filters are distinct from, and complementary to, time-f...

A letter cancellation task revealed neglect of the lower left quadrant when cancellation began at the top, but of the upper left quadrant when it began in the bottom. When the cancellation was done line by line through a "window" which covered all but the line currently worked on, the quadrant effects disappeared, so that fatigue could not explain these effects. An alternative hypothesis is tha...

We demonstrate dispersion cancellation of entangled photons for arbitrary spectral orders, generalizing Franson cancellation typically considered in second order alone. Employing ultrafast coincidence detection based on sum-frequency generation in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide with a record-high pair conversion efficiency of 10(-5), we verify cancellation of dispersion up to fi...

Visual neglect is a relatively common deficit after brain damage, particularly strokes. Cancellation tests provide standard clinical measures of neglect severity and deficits in daily life. A recent single-case study introduced a new variation on standard cancellation. Instead of making a visible mark on each target found, the patient made invisible marks (recorded with carbon paper underneath,...

BACKGROUND Many surgical procedures are delayed or cancelled due to inadequate preoperative assessment and preparation. Case cancellations can be decreased by improved preoperative patient evaluation, improved communication between physician and patient, and modified schedule design. Because of importance of the high cost associated with operating room cancellations; healthcare providers have e...

This paper proposes an active radio frequency (RF) cancellation solution to suppress the transmitter (TX) passband leakage signal in radio transceivers supporting simultaneous transmission and reception. The proposed technique is based on creating an opposite-phase baseband equivalent replica of the TX leakage signal in the transceiver digital front-end through adaptive nonlinear filtering of t...

Task parallelism is ubiquitous in modern applications for event-based, distributed, or reactive systems. In this type of programming, the ability to cancel a running task arises as a critical feature. Although there are a variety of cancellation techniques, a comprehensive account of their characteristics is missing. This paper provides a classification of task cancellation patterns, as well as...
