一种用排队论指导的CAN总线语音通信系统设计

针对传统语音通信系统存在的地址编码繁杂、通信模式单一、难于维护的缺陷,设计了一款适用于工业现场的多功能语音通信系统。在排队论的基础上,对CAN总线语音通信系统进行了理论分析,重点介绍了CAN总线的软硬件设计。对系统的性能测试结果表明,系统的CAN帧丢失率<0.5‰,语音质量能通过主观试听和客观测试,整体系统工作良好。     

基于声传感器阵列的机器人语音定向技术研究

将声源定向技术应用于机器人平台,使其对语音信号具有感知定向能力。对语音定向技术的3个阶段进行仿真,首先进行语音端点检测,然后解算2只声传感器间的时间延迟,最后结合声传感器阵列的空间几何结构分析定向误差。仿真结果表明:算法简单有效,能有效减少系统计算量,具备一定抗噪声和混响能力,满足系统定向精度的要求,对工程实现有一定指导意义。     

The Pathology of Cryptology—A Current Survey

Abstract

“The Pathology of Cryptology” is the title of a chapter in David Kahn's book The Codebreakers. This chapter mainly deals with hidden messages, which amateur scientists claim to have discovered in the works of William Shakespeare and in other literary works. The present article picks up this subject and provides it with a theoretic framework under the name of “para-steganography.” Moreover, further case studies are added to those given by Kahn, including many examples that only became known after the publication of The Codebreakers. These considerations show that a hidden code can be found almost anywhere, provided that one looks for it in a suitable manner.

The VOT of the Hungarian Voiceless Plosives in Words and in Spontaneous Speech

Due to the various techniques used in experimental phonetics and the language inventories, more and more has been learned about the nature of stops of the world's languages. Stop consonants occur in all languages, with voiceless unaspirated stops being the most common. The differences in voice onset time (VOT) have been termed lead vs. short lag, where VOT itself is defined as the timing between the onset of phonation and the release of the occlusion of the vocal tract.For Hungarian, no systematic analysis of the stops has been carried out thus far. This paper aims to investigate the acoustic and perceptual properties of VOTs of the three Hungarian voiceless stops when they appear in isolation (in syllables and in words) but also when they occur in spontaneous speech.The results of the acoustic analysis show a clear difference between careful and spontaneous speech. Bilabials and velars are significantly shorter in fluent speech than in careful speech (18.51 msec and 35.31 msec respectively, as opposed to 24.64 msec and 50.17 msec) while dentals seem to be unchanged (23.3 msec as opposed to 26.59 msec). Therefore, the actual duration of VOT is characteristic of the place of the articulation of stops in spontaneous speech, and VOTs of bilabials and dentals do not differ from each other in careful speech. Vowels following the stops influence them more in careful than in spontaneous speech, which can also be explained by the experimentally confirmed phenomenon of the changing quality of the present-day Hungarian vowels into the neutral vowel. Voice onset time is a specific feature of the Hungarian unaspirated plosive consonants. A further experiment was carried out to define the actual function of the VOTs of the voiceless stops in the Hungarian listeners' perception.     

An efficient traffic control scheme for store‐and‐forward video‐on‐demand services

According to the MPEG‐1/2 standard, full motion video can be compressed and stored in an information warehouse. Multiplexing with normal voice calls, it is retrieved and delivered to the customer's local BISDN central office via 155 Mb/s trunks. These voice calls have higher priority than video‐on‐demand (VOD) so that normal voice services will not be influenced by VOD transmission. The number of voice calls always fluctuates in real‐time. Thus, an efficient traffic control scheme is highly desired to guarantee a given level of performance and achieve as great as possible use of available bandwidth. Based on the fact that the number of real‐time voice calls is variable, and the use of available capacity is less than 100 per cent, this paper will present an efficient traffic control scheme for store‐and‐forward VOD services, and demonstrate the scheme by various simulation results.

Effects of perceived disability on persuasiveness of computer-synthesized speech.

Are perceptions of computer-synthesized speech altered by the belief that the person using this technology is disabled? In a 2x2 factorial design, participants completed an attitude pretest and were randomly assigned to watch an actor deliver a persuasive appeal under 1 of the following 4 conditions: disabled or nondisabled using normal speech and disabled or nondisabled using computer-synthesized speech. Participants then completed a posttest survey and a series of questionnaires assessing perceptions of voice, speaker, and message. Natural speech was perceived more favorably and was more persuasive than computer-synthesized speech. When the speaker was perceived to be speech-disabled, however, this difference diminished. This finding suggests that negatively viewed assistive technologies will be perceived more favorably when used by people with disabilities.

Proposed high speed packet switch for broadband integrated networks

The design of a high speed, broadband packet switch with two priority levels for application in integrated voice/data networks is presented. The packet switch can efficiently cope with 128 byte packets converging on it from eight 140 Mbit/s dynamic time division multiplexed fibre optic links. The packet switch throughput varies with the load and traffic composition, and the delay experienced by voice and data packets is within 300 μs and 3 ms, respectively. The design is implemented by task-sharing in a multi-processor configuration. The design of the packet switch, including its subsystems, is detailed here.
