Digital Smell

Abstract :

The technology has so far targeted mainly our sense of sight and sound. To further enhance the virtual reality experience and another flavor to it, technology is now targeting your nose and tongue.
The application area of virtual reality is vast- from normal entertainment to the Internet and e-commerce application. You will be able to smell product before buying them online.
California-based Digiscents Inc. has developed the iSmell personal scent synthesizer. This small device connects through your pc via serial por ....etc

ABSTRACT
It is reported that millions of people are suffering from some kind of hearing impairment. The number is climbing due to the increasing portion of elderly people in the worldâ„¢s population. While hearing loss is usually caused by permanent mechanical damage to the ear, there is no medicine to reverse it, as surgery offers little help.
Thus the electronic hearing aid or prosthetic are the best known solutions to the patients. Hence a neurofuzzy approach for devices that combine neural networks and fuzzy logic t ....etc

ABSTRACT
Hypersonic sound technology from American Technology Corporation employs ultrasonic waves to create audible sound in the air. It works by using harmless ultrasonic tones that we can't hear. These tones use the property of air to create new tones that are within the range of human hearing. The result is audible sound. The acoustical sound wave is created directly in the air molecules by down-converting ultrasonic energy to the frequency spectrum we can hear. Hyper Sonic Sound is produced without the excess bag ....etc

Definition

Voice morphing means the transition of one speech signal into another. Like image morphing, speech morphing aims to preserve the shared characteristics of the starting and final signals, while generating a smooth transition between them. Speech morphing is analogous to image morphing. In image morphing the in-between images all show one face smoothly changing its shape and texture until it turns into the target face. It is this feature that a speech morph should possess. One speech signal should smoothly change ....etc

Audio Processing:
Audio processing covers many diverse fields, all involved in presenting sound to human listeners. Three areas are prominent: (1) high fidelity music reproduction, such as in audio compact discs, (2) voice telecommunications, another name for telephone networks, and (3) synthetic speech, where computers generate and recognize human voice patterns. While these applications have different goals and problems, they are linked by a common umpire: the human ear. Digital Signal Processing has produced revol ....etc

INTRODUCTION
Neural networks, as used in artificial intelligence, have traditionally been viewed as simplified models of neural processing in the brain, even though the relation between this model and brain biological architecture is debated.
A subject of current research in theoretical neuroscience is the question surrounding the degree of complexity and the properties that individual neural elements should have to reproduce something resembling animal intelligence.
Historically, computers evolved from the von Neumann arc ....etc

Abstract—Noise is generally unavoidable during recordings of
heart sound signal. Therefore, noise reduction is one of the important
preprocesses in the analysis of heart sound signal. This
was achieved in joint cycle frequency–time–frequency domains in
this study. Heart sound signal was decomposed into components
(called atoms) characterized by time delay, frequency, amplitude,
time width, and phase. It was discovered that atoms of heart sound
signal congregate in the joint domains. On the other hand, atoms
of noise were ....etc

ABSTRACT
Voice morphing means the transition of one speech signal into another. The new morphed signal will have the same information content as the two input speech signals but a different pitch, which is determined by the morphing algorithm. To do this, each signal's information has to be converted into another representation, which enables the pitch and spectral envelope to be encoded on orthogonal axes. Individual components of the speech signal are then matched and the signalâ„¢s amplitudes ....etc

Pile driving at large construction sites produces formidable noise. Marine pile driving similarly can produce high sound pressures underwater”but these can be lethal to fish and can harass marine mammals, including those protected by federal law. This problem has contributed to costly construction delays on major bridge projects. To protect marine life, engineers have designed air bubble curtains to reduce underwater sounds. Air provides an effective barrier to sound propagating through water, because of the difference in density betwee ....etc
