Speech synthesis options on assistive communication devices are very limited and do not reflect the user’s vocal quality or personality. Previous work suggests that speakers wit...
Perceptual audio coders use an estimated masked threshold for the determination of the maximum permissible just-inaudible noise level introduced by quantization. This estimate is d...
Over the past year we have been exploring the use of FPGA-based custom computing machines for several sonar beamforming applications, including time-domain beamforming[1], frequen...
Background: In current comparative proteomics studies, the large number of images generated by 2D gels is currently compared using spot matching algorithms. Unfortunately, differe...
Abstract— This paper describes a new first and secondorder delta-sigma modulator (DSM) concept where the first integrator is extracted and implemented by a FM oscillator with t...
