The weft: a representation for periodic sounds [PDF]

1997 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2002
For the problem of separating sound mixtures, periodicity is a powerful cue used by both human listeners and automatic systems. Short-term autocorrelation of subband envelopes, as in the correlogram, accounts for much perceptual data. We present a discrete representation of common-period sounds, derived from the correlogram, for use in computational ...

The effect of material type, yarn count , and treatment with water-repellent materials on some of the natural and mechanical properties of car cover fabrics

Journal of Architecture, Art & Humanistic Science, 2022
Car covers are considered basic for the preservation of cars of various weather factors such as rain, dust, sun and others. So, we use the next row materials for warp ( cotton 100% ) and yarn count 16/1 and different types of weft materials ( cotton 100%

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.

Material Selection and Geometric Design for Few‐filament Shape Memory Polymer Yarns for Force Generation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A custom shape memory polymer material selection process relates quantitative application criteria (e.g., compression garment yarns) to material characterization information. The selected materials are manufactured into yarn geometries, which expand the design space by creating structural stress‐strain profiles beyond the nominal material stress‐strain

Textile Actuation Based on In‐Air Actuating Polypyrrole‐Based Tape Yarns for Wearable Soft Robotics: Toward On‐Body Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work reports on the actuation behavior of CP‐based polypyrrole/PVdF TYs soaked in electrolyte/ionic liquids and woven actuators where such TYs are integrated. These studies are important toward the creation of on‐body applications such as wearable soft robotics, where textiles offer many advantages such as increased force, integrated electrical ...
