Optical waveguide analysis using transmission lines [PDF]

Optical fibres have been used as a key medium for telecommunication and networking for more than two decades because in principle they offer sufficient transmission capacity, reaching total rates as high as Tbits/s per fibre.

An Experimental Study of Acoustic Comfort in Open Space Banks Based on Speech Intelligibility and Noise Annoyance Measures

Archives of Acoustics, 2017
Tasks requiring intensive concentration are more vulnerable to noise than routine tasks. Due to the high mental workload of bank employees, this study aimed to evaluate acoustic comfort in open-space banks based on speech intelligibility and noise ...

Fiber‐Based Wearable Electronics as Adaptive Biointerfaces for Healthcare Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fiber‐based wearable electronics have been extensively studied as adaptive healthcare biointerfaces. In this review, we classify and introduce fiber‐based systems according to biointerface design, conductive materials, transduction mechanisms, and healthcare applications, and provide a perspective on their translation toward reliable, continuous ...

A Fast Index Assignment Algorithm for Vector Quantization

, 1996
Vector quantisation, a widely used technique in low-bit rate coding of speech signals, is highly sensitive to errors in the transmitted codeword caused by noise in the transmission channel.

Speaker adaptation and the evaluation of speaker similarity in the EMIME speech-to-speech translation project [PDF]

, 2010
This paper provides an overview of speaker adaptation research carried out in the EMIME speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) project. We focus on how speaker adaptation transforms can be learned from speech in one language and applied to the acoustic ...

Analog Classification of Human Hand Gestures Exploiting Dendritic Integration With an Organic Artificial Soma

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An organic neuromorphic architecture for the classification of human motor behavior is presented and validated. It performs somatic integration by linearly combining the activity from three muscles. An investigation of synaptic weights is presented and discussed in relationship with the classification performance.

Experimental comparison between speech transmission index (STI) and mean opinion scores (MOS) in rooms

Archives of Acoustics, 2014
Two methods for assessment of speech quality in rooms were compared: the speech transmission index (STI) and mean opinion scores (MOS). Subjective and objective measurements were carried out in two rooms for different signal to noise ratio within a ...

The Extended Speech Transmission Index: Predicting speech intelligibility in fluctuating noise and reverberant rooms

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019
The Speech Transmission Index (STI) is used to predict speech intelligibility in noise and reverberant environments. However, measurements and predictions in fluctuating noises lead to inaccuracies. In the current paper, the Extended Speech Transmission Index (ESTI) is presented in order to deal with these shortcomings.

Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalysts with Trinuclear, Mixed‐Valence Iron Motifs on Electronically Aligned Carbon Dots

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Trinuclear iron oxo‐bridged catalytic ensembles stabilized by aspartic‐acid‐derived carbon dots provide an effective platform for alkaline oxygen evolution. Mixed‐valence charge balancing, inner‐sphere charge transport, and work‐function alignment within the N/O‐rich carbon framework promote cooperative Fe‐site chemistry and efficient OER ...
