基于语音拖音段的端点检测算法研究

为了进行有效的语音信号处理,并降低语音信号的冗余度,通常采用端点检测技术来提取语音信号中的有效部分。本文在传统语音端点检测方法的基础上,提出了一种基于基音周期对语音段末尾进行判别的方法,针对汉语发音都是以浊音结尾的特点,同时利用基音周期对浊音段信号比较敏感这一特性,能够有效地避开汉语语音信号尾部拖音段中所包含的无效信息,既提高了端点检测的准确性,又减少了后续语音识别系统样本训练时间。实验结果证明,该方法对于汉语中孤立词末尾的拖音段,可以得到较好的端点检测效果。

The pulse distributed file system

A network of powerful personal computers, linked by a high-speed local area network, is being seen increasingly as an alternative to a traditional centralized time-sharing operating system. The PULSE project is investigating how such a system may be constructed to give the benefits of a self-sufficient personal computer to each user without losing the facilities for communication and sharing of data inherent in centralized systems. In particular, a distributed file system has been built which provides a single global UNIX

-like hierarchy, with a consistent appearance when accessed from any machine. Replicated copies of files are maintained to improve reliability, increase performance, and enable each machine to run stand-alone, albeit with reduced facilities.     

Aluminum. II. Derivation of C v0from C p and comparison to C v0 calculated from anharmonic models

The specific heat at constant pressure, C _p, of aluminum measured by Ditmars, Plint, and Shukla has been reduced to the volume V ₀ appropriate for 0 K employing the Murnaghan equation. The C _v0 thus obtained is compared with the theoretical C _v0 calculated in the harmonic and the lowest-order anharmonic approximation from three different pseudopotentials (Harrison, Ashcroft, and Dagens-Rasolt-Taylor) as well as a phenomenological Morse potential. The higher-order ( ⁴) anharmonic contributions are calculated from the same nearest-neighbor Morse potential as in the lowest-order anharmonic theory. The role of the vacancy and the higher-order anharmonic contributions to C _v0 has been examined and we conclude that the ⁴ contributions to C _v0 are much smaller than the vacancy contribution. After removal of the vacancy contribution, the reduced C _v0 is found to be in excellent agreement with the Ashcroft and Harrison pseudopotentials as well as the Morse potential including the ² and ⁴ contributions to C _v0.     

Fault tolerance in multiprocessor systems

Multiprocessor systems which afford a high degree of parallelism are used in a variety of applications. The extremely stringent reliability requirement has made the provision of fault-tolerance an important aspect in the design of such systems. This paper presents a review of the various approaches towards tolerating hardware faults in multiprocessor systems. It emphasizes the basic concepts of fault tolerant design and the various problems to be taken care of by the designer. An indepth survey of the various models, techniques and methods for fault diagnosis is given. Further, we consider the strategies for fault-tolerance in specialized multiprocessor architectures which have the ability of dynamic reconfiguration and are suited tovlsi implementation. An analysis of the state-of-the-art is given which points out the major aspects of fault-tolerance in such architectures.     

On mapping processes to processors in distributed systems

This paper is concerned with the implementation of parallel programs on networks of processors. In particular, we study the use of the network augmenting approach as an implementation tool. According to this approach, the capabilities of a given network of processors can be increased by adding some auxiliary links among the processors. We prove that the minimum set of edges needed to augment a line-like network so that it can accommodate a parallel program is determined by an optimal path cover of the graph representation of the program. Anoptimal path cover of a simple graphG is a set of vertex-disjoint paths that cover all the vertices ofG and has the maximum possible number of edges. We present a linear time optimal path covering algorithm for a class of sparse graphs. This algorithm is of special interest since the optimal path covering problem is NP-complete for general graphs. Our results suggest that a cover and augment scheme can be used for optimal implementation of parallel programs in line-like networks.A preliminary version of this paper was presented at the 6th IEEE Conference on Computer Communications (INFOCOM '87).This reseach is supported in part by National Semiconductor (Israel), Ltd.     

Electrochemical investigation of the iron-containing and no iron-containing AB5-type negative electrodes

The electrochemical behaviour of LaNi_3.55Mn_0.4Al_0.3Co_0.75−xFe_x (x = 0, 0.15, 0.55, 0.75) intermetallic compounds has been studied and presented [C. Khaldi, H. Mathlouthi, J. Lamloumi, A. Percheron-Guégan, Int. J. Hydrogen Energy 29 (2004) 307–311; C. Khaldi, H. Mathlouthi, J. Lamloumi, A. Percheron-Guégan, J. Alloys Compd. 360 (2003) 266–271; C. Khaldi, H. Mathlouthi, J. Lamloumi, A. Percheron-Guégan, J. Alloys Compd. 384 (2004) 249–253]. It has been deduced that the LaNi_3.55Mn_0.4Al_0.3Co_0.4Fe_0.35 compound has interesting electrochemical properties. In this paper we present the electrochemical study of LaNi_3.55Mn_0.4Al_0.3Co_0.4Fe_0.35 compound properties compared with the parent LaNi_3.55Mn_0.4Al_0.3Co_0.75 compound. Several techniques, such as, the chronopotentiometry, the constant potential discharge (CPD), the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the linear polarization (LP) were applied to characterize these electrochemical properties. The electrochemical discharge capacity of the LaNi_3.55Mn_0.4Al_0.3Co_0.75 alloy increases to reach 294 mAh g⁻¹ after few cycles only (five cycles). However, the activation of the LaNi_3.55Mn_0.4Al_0.3Co_0.4Fe_0.35 alloy takes more than 20 cycles to be achieved and the obtained maximum discharge capacity is 194 mAh g⁻¹. The hydrogen diffusion coefficient D_H was determined by constant potential discharge and cyclic voltammetry techniques. The obtained values of the LaNi_3.55Mn_0.4Al_0.3Co_0.75 and LaNi_3.55Mn_0.4Al_0.3Co_0.4Fe_0.35 compounds are 6.29 × 10⁻¹¹ and 7.62 × 10⁻¹¹, and 2 × 10⁻⁸ and 7.5 × 10⁻⁸ cm² s⁻¹ by CPD and CV techniques, respectively. The exchange current density values, determined by a linear polarization technique, are 44 and 27 mA g⁻¹, respectively, for LaNi_3.55Mn_0.4Al_0.3Co_0.75 and LaNi_3.55Mn_0.4Al_0.3Co_0.4Fe_0.35 alloys.     

Strain-rate dependence of low cycle fatigue behavior in a simulated BWR environment

The strain-rate dependence of low cycle fatigue behavior of ASTM A533B low-alloy steel was investigated in a simulated BWR environment. Fatigue resistance of the steel was found to be closely dependent on cyclic strain rate in high-temperature water. A tortuous cracking morphology was dominant at high strain rate and typical fan-like or quasi-cleavage cracking patterns were frequently observed on the corresponding fracture surface. An entirely straight cracking morphology, however, became dominant at low strain rate. Evidence of crack arrest was found on the fracture surface rather than fan-like or quasi-cleavage cracking patterns. The above cracking behavior in simulated BWR water may be attributed to a strain-rate-induced change in the dominant environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) mechanism from hydrogen-induced cracking to film-rupture/slip-dissolution-controlled cracking.
