Magnetostriction is a property of ferrous alloys in which the material will exhibit strain in the presence of a magnetic field. This strain is in addition to any other strains that might exist as a result of electrical and for mechanical forces in a given application. At low frequencies, magnetostrictive forces are undesirable. They can be large and generate acoustic noise in electromagnetic systems, which can be undesirable in some applications. Implementation results on a 2-hp, permanent magnet motor indicate that magnetostrictive forces are significant and amount to more than 50% force level increase above electromechanical force levels obtained without accounting for magnetostriction.","PeriodicalId":368157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

There have been many techniques that attempt to deal with background \"noise.\" Many of these make use of some type of stochastic model to decrease the effect of the interfering signal. This paper, however, investigates the possibility of a new technique involving nonlinear chaos theory. The idea of chaos has been of growing interest in physics and has begun to enter the world of signal processing with some good results. In a simple sense, a chaotic signal is one that appears random but has some underlying, nearly deterministic structure. This paper considers using some of the knowledge from chaos theory in modeling background \"noise\" that may interfere with a recognizer or other speech system.","PeriodicalId":368157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The characteristics of biological tissues are frequency dependent and thus called dispersive materials. For accurate FDTD simulation of biological tissues, a numerical technique is proposed to derive the Debye coefficients from the measured frequency-dependent permittivity of different biological tissues, and then a scattered field FDTD formulation is developed for such dispersive media characterized by multi-term Debye expressions. The proposed scattered field FDTD formulation is valid for three dimensional analysis of practical EM problems involving combination of dispersive and non-dispersive materials. The developed procedure has been verified for different types of biological tissues over a very wide band of frequency (from 30 Hz to 20 GHz). The reflection coefficients of a semi-infinite dispersive medium using one, two, and three-term Debye expressions are computed and compared favorably with the corresponding analytical solution. Hence, the accuracy and stability of modeling multi-term Debye dispersive materials using the proposed scattered FDTD formulation is assessed.","PeriodicalId":368157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Many intrusion detection techniques incorporate expert systems (e.g., ASAX, IDES, NIDES, DIDS, Hyperview, JiNao). Problems associated with expert systems are in how the rules are defined and matched against potential intruders. Going outside the rule set leaves minimal hope of detection. This work improves upon intrusion detection schemes that utilized expert systems by using an evolution strategy with combinations of attack signatures as individual characteristics. The overall strength is in viewing the rule-matching problem as an optimization problem.","PeriodicalId":368157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. IEEE SoutheastCon 2001 (Cat.

(1984)] to the case where the inputs are bounded. The Jacobian condition presented in Avrachenkov (1998) is specified instead of the usual condition specified by Arimoto et al. In particular, the former is a condition for monotonicity in the distance to the solution instead of monotonicity in the output error. This observation allows for a simple extension of the methods of Arimoto et al. to the case of bounded inputs since the process of moving an input back to a bound if it exceeds it does not affect the contraction mapping property; in fact, the distance to the solution, if anything, can only decrease even further. The usual Jacobian error condition, on the other hand, is not sufficient to guarantee the chopping rule will converge to the solution, as proved herein.","PeriodicalId":368157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Performance requirements include seamless switching between bit rates, which would gracefully vary the perceived signal quality. The encoder is similar to the MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) standard but differs significantly in that the MDCT coefficients are quantized in a layered manner. Four enhancement layers that progressively address residual quantization errors follow a perceptually optimized core layer with somewhat poor quantization resolution. Each layer generates its own independently decodable bit stream. Core layer bits appended with enhancement bits are packed into one frame. Signal quality gracefully varies from basic to transparent with the corresponding bit rates of 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 kb/s at each layer. Subjective tests indicate that our codec performs equivalently to MP3 at 128 kb/s with a somewhat inferior performance at lower bit rates.","PeriodicalId":368157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
