Svaizer ITC-IRST I-38050 Povo di Trento (Italy) ABSTRACT This orresponden e reports on the use of CrosspowerSpe trum Phase (CSP) analysis as an a urate Time Delay Estimation (TDE) te hnique. It is used in a mi rophone array system for the lo ation of a ousti events in noisy and reverberant environments. A orresponding Coheren e Measure and its graphi al representation are...

The layered rigid organization of traditional network service stack currently poses a two fold problem: (i) better solutions/improvements cannot be practically deployed in the service stack –we call this the ‘Evolution’ problem, and (ii) applications are becoming more selective and critically demanding for specialized services –we call this the ‘Implementation Conflict’ problem. The ‘Programmab...

The development of a new concept called Technology Development Envelope (TDE) is presented in this paper. The TDE is developed to transform the technology roadmapping approach to the level in which it is dynamic, flexible, and operationalizable. This new approach provides an effective way to help organizations to overcome the challenge of keeping a roadmap alive. The paper emphasizes how the AH...

Fire-tower is effectively applied in forest fire prevention and commanding system, especially in fire monitor and position. After explaining the significance of scientific planning of fire-tower, this paper analyzes GIS`s functions in building forest fire prevention system. This paper uses case study method, which designs a model, fire tower planning and analysis, based on MapGIS platform. Afte...

First, some basic notions of transparent intensional logic (TIL) are introduced. Secondly, it is studied how natural-language interrogatives are analyzed in TIL.

A new representation of audio noise signals is proposed, based on symmetric -stable (S S) distributions in order to better model the outliers that exist in real signals. This representation addresses a shortcoming of the Gaussian model, namely, the fact that it is not well suited for describing signals with impulsive behavior. The -stable and Gaussian methods are used to model measured noise si...

We report the discovery of transient radio emission from the nearby optically-discovered TDE ASASSN-14li (distance of 90 Mpc), making it the first typical TDE detected in the radio, and unambiguously pointing to the formation of a non-relativistic outflow with a kinetic energy of ≈ 4−10×10 erg, a velocity of ≈ 12, 000 − 36, 000 km s, and a mass of ≈ 3 × 10 − 7 × 10 M⊙. We show that the outflow ...

In this paper we present experimental results on propagation, coherence, and time delay estimation (TDE) in an acoustic microphone array. The primary goal is to understand the achievable accuracy of acoustic TDE using low-cost, commercial off the shelf (COTS) speakers and microphones. In addition, the experiment seeks to provide an empirical understanding of the effects of center frequency, ban...

A new TDE technique using the CPSP function weighed on each band is proposed. Observed and theoretical CPSP spectra are uniformly divided into several bands, and time delay having maximum cross correlation coefficient between observed and theoretical CPSP functions on each band is searched. Then the observed CPSP function is weighted according to the phase linearity on each band. A weighted CPS...

transparent glasses in a system of li2o-mgo-sio2-al2o3-fchemical constituents were prepared by melt quenching method. in the fabrication of nanocrystal glass-ceramics, controlled nucleation and subsequent crystal growth were necessary to avoid loss of transparency. it was therefore important to understand thermal properties and crystallization kinetics of the glass ceramics. the crystallization...
