Commercial applications of speech processing and recognition are fast becoming a growth industry that will shape the next decade. Now students and practicing engineers of signal processing can find in
Consultant Kimball has substantially revised the first edition, for which he does not note a date. He expands beyond the quality control theme and uses a more holistic approach. While the first editio
This is an easy-to-follow tutorial on the most popular text processing system used in the academic community. It explains formatting fundamentals and the more complex techniques for typesetting mathem
Batch processes are used to manufacture many fine organic chemicals, and as such they can be considered to underpin much of the modern chemical industry. Despite widespread use and a consequent huge c
The lexicon has emerged from the study of computational linguistics as a fundamental resoure that enables a variety of linguistic processes to operate in the course of tasks ranging from language anal
Image processing and machine vision are fields of renewed interest in the commercial market. People in industry, managers, and technical engineers are looking for new technologies to move into the mar
It is now well established that phonological -- and orthographic -- codes play a crucial role in the recognition of isolated words and in understanding the sequences of words that comprise a sentence.
As an introduction to the subject for beginners or reference for experienced modelers, this volume provides a unified treatment of the models, governing equations and numerical methods, and a review o
This book is an initiation to the use of the acoustic method for characterizing formations. The use of acoustic well logging to determine the velocity of compressional waves in formations is common pr
This text reviews all conversion processes. The reaction mechanisms, the operating conditions and the advantages and disadvantages of each process are carefully analyzed and summarized. Refining flow
Papers from the symposium held April 1989, San Diego, CA. Critical issues in two fundamental fabrication technologies are addressed: the consolidation of submicron-sized powders; and, gas/solid proces
Forty-eight contributions, by authors from nine countries, address: diamond films, synthesis of optical materials, structure-related optical properties, radiation effects in optical materials, charact
What makes people smarter than computers? These volumes by a pioneering neurocomputing group suggest that the answer lies in the massively parallel architecture of the human mind. They describe a new
A concise introduction to the design and analysis of digital signal processors. Unique in its presentation of advanced topics at the undergraduate level. Contains excellent graphics and includes cover
Conveying to students a sense of excitement regardingDSP, this text provides thorough coverage of digitalsignal processing techniques and all essentialtheory—extensively supported by examples, but not
