This text/reference represents the first balanced treatment of
graphical and analytical methods for kinematic analysis and
synthesis of linkages (planar and spatial) and higher-pair
mechanisms (cams and gears) in a single-volume format. A
significant amount of excellent German literature in the field that
previously was not available in English provides extra insight into
the subject. Plenty of solved problems and exercise problems are
included to sharpen your skills and demonstrate how theory is put
into practice.
This book presents details of a text-to-speech synthesis procedure
using epoch synchronous overlap add (ESOLA), and provides a
solution for development of a text-to-speech system using minimum
data resources compared to existing solutions. It also examines
most natural speech signals including random perturbation in
synthesis. The book is intended for students, researchers and
industrial practitioners in the field of text-to-speech synthesis.
This book presents the consolidated acoustic data for all phones in
Standard Colloquial Bengali (SCB), commonly known as Bangla, a
Bengali language used by 350 million people in India, Bangladesh,
and the Bengali diaspora. The book analyzes the real speech of
selected native speakers of the Bangla dialect to ensure that a
proper acoustical database is available for the development of
speech technologies. The acoustic data presented consists of
averages and their normal spread, represented by the standard
deviations of necessary acoustic parameters including e.g. formant
information for multiple native speakers of both sexes. The study
employs two important speech technologies:(1) text to speech
synthesis (TTS) and (2) automatic speech recognition (ASR). The
procedures, particularly those related to the use of technologies,
are described in sufficient detail to enable researchers to use
them to create technical acoustic databases for any other Indian
dialect. The book offers a unique resource for scientists and
industrial practitioners who are interested in the acoustic
analysis and processing of Indian dialects to develop similar
dialect databases of their own.
This book presents a comprehensive overview of the basics of
Hindustani music and the associated signal analysis and
technological developments. It begins with an in-depth introduction
to musical signal analysis and its current applications, and then
moves on to a detailed discussion of the features involved in
understanding the musical meaning of the signal in the context of
Hindustani music. The components consist of tones, shruti, scales,
pitch duration and stability, raga, gharana and musical
instruments. The book covers the various technological developments
in this field, supplemented with a number of case studies and their
analysis. The book offers new music researchers essential insights
into the use the automatic concept for finding and testing the
musical features for their applications. Intended primarily for
postgraduate and PhD students working in the area of scientific
research on Hindustani music, as well as other genres where the
concepts are applicable, it is also a valuable resource for
professionals and researchers in musical signal processing.
The book presents the history of time-domain representation and the
extent of its development along with that of spectral domain
representation in the cognitive and technology domains. It
discusses all the cognitive experiments related to this
development, along with details of technological developments
related to both automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text to
speech synthesis (TTS), and introduces a viable time-domain
representation for both objective and subjective analysis, as an
alternative to the well-known spectral representation. The book
also includes a new cohort study on the use of lexical knowledge in
ASR. India has numerous official dialects, and spoken-language
technology development is a burgeoning area. In fact TTS and ASR
taken together constitute the most important technology for
empowering people. As such, the book describes time domain
representation in such a way that it can be easily and seamlessly
incorporated into ASR and TTS research and development. In short,
it is a valuable guidebook for the development of ASR and TTS in
all the Indian Standard Dialects using signal domain parameters.
This book addresses the acoustic signal analysis and spectral
dynamics of the tanpura, an Indian plucked string instrument. In
addition, it strives to provide a logical and objective explanation
of Indian classical musicians' cognitive experience. Issues of
relevance in this regard include the rich, mellifluous sound; the
undulation of the loudness; the somewhat cyclical variation of the
timbre, which is strongly related to these undulations; and the
occasional perception of virtual notes to which no strings are
tuned. The book analyses the materials used in the tanpura, the
instrument's simple structure, the intricacies of the lower bridge,
and the theory of string vibration with variable string length.
Cognitive experiments to provide the basis for perceptual quality
assessment, as well as a methodology for ranking, are described.
This is followed by acoustic analyses, both temporal and spectral,
for sounds produced by male and female tanpuras, for each
individual string and the combined one. An important aspect related
to the naturalness of perceived sound, namely the intrinsically
associated random perturbations, is also discussed. The apparent
irregularities perceived in the acoustic signal produced by the
tanpura reveal the importance of examining the signal from the
perspective of non-linear analysis, an aspect that is also covered
in the book. Given its scope, the book will appeal to students and
researchers in the fields of music acoustics, artificial
intelligence, and cognitive science, as well as musicians and
musicologists around the world.

In the signal-processing research community, a great deal of
progress in higher-order statistics (HOS) began in the mid-1980s.
These last fifteen years have witnessed a large number of
theoretical developments as well as real applications. Blind
Estimation Using Higher-Order Statistics focuses on the blind
estimation area and records some of the major developments in this
field. Blind Estimation Using Higher-Order Statistics is a welcome
addition to the few books on the subject of HOS and is the first
major publication devoted to covering blind estimation using HOS.
The book provides the reader with an introduction to HOS and goes
on to illustrate its use in blind signal equalisation (which has
many applications including (mobile) communications), blind system
identification, and blind sources separation (a generic problem in
signal processing with many applications including radar, sonar and
communications). There is also a chapter devoted to robust cumulant
estimation, an important problem where HOS results have been
encouraging. Blind Estimation Using Higher-Order Statistics is an
invaluable reference for researchers, professionals and graduate
students working in signal processing and related areas.

'... this could make an ideal end-of-year prize for a high-school
student who is fascinated by all aspects of number. The subsections
provide ideas and opportunities for mathematical exploration. This
book might also be deemed a suitable resource for first-year
undergraduates in that, via independent study, it would allow such
students to broaden their knowledge of various number-theoretic
ideas. I would recommend it for the purposes given above.'The
Mathematical GazetteThis book is more than a mathematics textbook.
It discusses various kinds of numbers and curious interconnections
between them. Without getting into hardcore and difficult
mathematical technicalities, the book lucidly introduces all kinds
of numbers that mathematicians have created. Interesting anecdotes
involving great mathematicians and their marvelous creations are
included. The reader will get a glimpse of the thought process
behind the invention of new mathematics. Starting from natural
numbers, the book discusses integers, real numbers, imaginary and
complex numbers and some special numbers like quaternions, dual
numbers and p-adic numbers.Real numbers include rational,
irrational and transcendental numbers. Iterations on real numbers
are shown to throw up some unexpected behavior, which has given
rise to the new science of 'Chaos'. Special numbers like e, pi,
golden ratio, Euler's constant, Gauss's constant, amongst others,
are discussed in great detail.The origin of imaginary numbers and
the use of complex numbers constitute the next topic. It is shown
why modern mathematics cannot even be imagined without imaginary
numbers. Iterations on complex numbers are shown to generate a new
mathematical object called 'Fractal', which is ubiquitous in
nature. Finally, some very special numbers, not mentioned in the
usual textbooks, and their applications, are introduced at an
elementary level.The level of mathematics discussed in this book is
easily accessible to young adults interested in mathematics, high
school students, and adults having some interest in basic
mathematics. The book concentrates more on the story than on
rigorous mathematics.
