Speaker Identification: New Spectral Feature Extraction Techniques

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Automatic speaker recognition has been an active research area for more than four decades and the technology has gradually matured to a state ready for real life applications. However, contamination by additive noise becomes a major obstacle to commercialize the use of this technique. A more realistic way to try to improve on the situation is to search for ways to improve the robustness of the features used. Therefore, this book addresses the issue of speaker identification under mismatched conditions. The main focus of the book is on the low-level spectral features. This book covers the feature extraction process, including the speech production and perception systems. The importance of high frequency components and the phase information (which is normally discarded by most of the state-of-the art features) are investigated and different noise robust algorithms are proposed which makes use of wavelet packet transform, Teager energy operator and AM-FM model. This book would help the researchers and engineers to grasp the basics and quickly move on to more sophisticated techniques. ····· 10361132170

Sentry Gun with Face Detection

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Sentry Gun with face detection is a turret based weapon system, that can neutralize targets with user control, within its range. This model consists of mount with two servo motors for tilt and pan, a target detector (a camera) and an airsoft-gun. There are many ways to use a real sentry gun: anti-air defense, anti-vehicle defense (at checkpoints) and anti-personnel defense. This system falls under the third category. This device has an automatic toy gun mounted on top of a mechanical assembly as a weapon which is triggered by an electronic relay. The gun will have the ability to move in the theta and pi directions (i.e. pan and tilt), which will be controlled by two servo motors connected to Arduino Duemilanove board. The camera is mounted on a gun and is used to get the real time image and it will transfer it to a computer where an image processing algorithm calculates the position of target. This calculation is then sent to the Arduino board and then the motors orient the gun at appropriate coordinates. Once the gun is pointed towards the target, it is locked on it. The trigger mechanism is controlled manually by a user sitting at the backhand. ····· 10361131918

Applying a computationally intensive control algorithm inside an embedded time-safety-critical application represents a Cyber-Physical challenge. This book applies Generalized Predictive Control on automotive active suspension system. The main objective of any automotive active suspension system is to achieve an acceptable behavior, i.e., ride comfort, over a range of working frequencies while minimizing the exerted energy. Book`s objective is to proof the ability of using time-consuming advanced control algorithms on time-safety-critical embedded applications while satisfying tight real-time constraints.Matrix operations consume a large portion of the overall execution time of the online computation of the controller. A hardware co-processor based on a set of systolic arrays is proposed to meet real-time constraints. The proposed computing system is then integrated inside an ARM-based embedded platform using the state-of-the-art CAP9 technology. The proposed computation system is verified to meet real-time constraints over wide range of tuning parameters. ····· 10361131889

Solar Photovoltaic Rural Electrification

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Data available indicate that the use of solar PV systems in off-grid rural communities is plagued with barriers, which must be carefully researched. Without a clear quantification of impacts, potential users may not accept solar PV as an appropriate alternative for electricity generation. Using with/without comparison technique, 209 households and 47 micro-enterprises with and without solar PV systems were surveyed in rural Ghana. Principal component analysis was used to construct energy-poverty index scores (EPIS), descriptive statistics was used to analyse the impacts and Pareto analysis was used to identify priority areas and barriers that need to be removed. From the results, about 80% of the non-electrified households were assessed as relatively energy poor compared with only 10% of the solar-electrified households. The use of solar PV lighting reduced the proportion of household members being affected by indoor smoke from kerosene lanterns by 50%. The priority factors that can increase the future use of rural solar PV systems are low pricing of parts, availability of parts on the local market, low monthly fees, and access to end-user financing. ····· 10361131800

Refractories are among the most important classes of ceramics. They have a wide spectrum of applications in many high temperature equipment. This research investigated the utilization of aluminosilicate materials from Kankara, Onibode and Enugu, all in Nigeria for the production of dense blast furnace refractories, using press forming method. Of the three clay materials, for this study, preliminary investigation of their refractoriness showed that Enugu clay was unsuitable for refractories meant for steel melt shops. This is because of its fusibility at rather low temperature of 1300oC. When subjected to chemical analysis by X ray Fluorescence (XRF) method, Kankara clay proved not to have any noticeable trace of iron oxide, while Onibode clay had a negligible trace, not enough to adversely affect the refractoriness of its product in the iron making shop.Enugu clay had more than required silica and iron oxide. Mineralogical tests were made, and calcinations of the clay samples to 1300 oC proved sufficient. ····· 10361131772

Animal traction in the Fadama

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Fadama tillage in Northern Nigeria and in Zaria in particular, has relied on manual labour and corresponding implements which are associated with drudgery, loss of human energy due to bending and reduced productivity. This book reveals that Fadama farmers (mostly aged between 36 and 60 years) use manual labour with tools like small hoe, big hoe and rake to till during the dry season. Most of the Fadama farmers believe that tillage operations like ploughing, harrowing and basin making are important tillage activities in the preparation of seedbeds to grow crops, but are constrained to using animal traction for tillage due to beliefs like unsuitability of the workbulls and corresponding implements to operate in the Fadama. In the field, it was shown that the three ADTI were applicable and effective at controlled soil moisture content and plough operational depth. The favourable soil moisture content and ploughing depth for optimum performance that would guarantee the safety of the work bulls for tillage in the Fadama were 11-15% and 16-20cm respectively. It is advised that work bulls be used in the early hours of the day, allowing rest and wallowing periods regularly. ····· 10361119767

Vehicle Destination Prediction Using GPS Tracking

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Road navigation has gained increased importance in recent times with an increased number of vehicles making use of GPS navigators. As a result, focus has been placed on services that can be offered to drivers by prediction of routes they might take to their final destination. The analysis here predicts the destination of a driver given an initial starting point and regular position coordinates supplied by a GPS sensor. The system is simulated with the help of an a priori knowledge of the road network and its cost distributions supplemented by the individual driver`s history and road preference. The novelty of the system lies in the manner in which the driver`s destination probabilities are calculated and varied. By the use of velocity-based particle filters combined with a novel idea for the set up and analysis of road link cost distributions, an algorithm is created which is seen to perform to a high standard. The destination of the driver is identified as one of a few highly probable candidates within the first 50 percent of journey traveled. By 75-80% of the journey, the destination node is pinpointed with certainty. ····· 10361119617

In physical work activities, a worker s capacity to perform mechanical work is partly determined by his/her capability to apply muscular strength. Especially in hand intensive jobs, to prevent fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders to maximize quality, productivity and comfort and minimize associated costs, strength capabilities of workers should be determined in order to match them with job strength demands. By using grip strength data, it can be ensured that the majority of workforce is capable to perform a given task, and the percentage of strength required by a repetitive task can be assessed so that fatigue is avoided.The main objectives of this study are to estimate the maximum voluntary isometric (static) grip strength distribution of Turkish people related to gender, age, occupation, and body characteristics and to investigate the effects of body posture and hand support on grip strength. ····· 10361119567

Automatic segmentation of the abdominal Aorta from CT images

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
We present a new method for the segmentation and the detection of human Abdominal Aorta in CT images. Our method is divided into two parts. In the first part we estimate the position and the dimension of the aortic lumen using state-of-the-art object tracking techniques. The second part employs curve fitting methods in order to detect the boundaries of the aortic lumen with accuracy, based on the estimation of the first part. In particular, the proposed method uses the Kalman Filter to track the aortic cross-section in consecutive CT images. The observations needed by the Kalman procedure are extracted with the Circle Hough Transformation, based on the assumption that the morphological structure of the aortic cross-section is approximately a circle. A robust Level Set method is then applied to compensate the approximation error and efficiently estimate the cross-section. The algorithms and the mathematical tools developed during the project prove feasibility for an accurate and reliable method for the segmentation of the abdominal aorta from CT data, that in the future could be used to benefit patients with aortic aneurysms. ····· 10361119537

WEAR CHARACTERISTICS OF RECYCLED LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITES

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Many polymers are widely used for sliding couples against metals, polymers and other materials. However, where the contact is there, there is the problem of friction and wear. The friction between polymers can be attributed to two main mechanisms, deformation and adhesion. The deformation mechanism involves complete dissipation of energy in the contact area while the adhesion component is responsible for the friction of polymer and is a result of breaking of weak bonding forces between polymer chains in the bulk of the material. The need to develop a new material (i.e Composites) in this area of wear and yet maintaining the same mechanical properties still remains a bone of contention. This purpose of this book is to the study wear characteristics of recycled low density polyethylene(RLDPE) composites reinforce with bagasse ash particles. Since both RLDPE and bagasse ash are readily available and very cheap to obtain. The authors hope that this book will spring-up more research in this area. ····· 10361119457

An effective stabilizing system for PVC/clay composites has been established in this work. Different grades of Cloisite nano-clays supplied by Southern Clay Products Inc. were investigated. The effects of processing conditions on PVC/clay composite structure were investigated. The composite structure was characterized by both TEM and XRD. The particulate structure of PVC resin affected the distribution of clay, which could be improved by increasing the processing temperature. Almost fully exfoliated PVC/Cloisite 30B nano-composites were successfully prepared by a solution process in tetrahydrofuran, and the plasticizer migration resistance of this composite was significantly improved. Other commercial fillers for PVC such as calcium carbonate and hydrotalcite were compared with Cloisite 30B. It is interesting to find that PVC crystallization in the clay galleries can occur during annealing that increased the clay gallery spacing. There seemed to be orientation of the newly formed crystallites, and two types of orientation have been proposed. ····· 10361119322
