The model is built using a simulation language called Research Queueing Package. The results presented indicate that TCP works slower for smaller files, partly because of the chosen parameter values (e.g. buffer sizes, the initial window size, the initial timeout value) and partly because of the long wait for the retransmission timeout to expire. The simulation results and data from a real FTP (file transfer protocol) show that TCP/IP is sensitive to different parameter values, especially the timeout values. It is also found that TCP introduces a significant overhead. Therefore, it is concluded that TCP is not very efficient for strictly local area networks, and that a more efficient protocol for this purpose must be developed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"34 1","pages":"912-915 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91322153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TDMC is defined as the two-dimensional Fourier transform of mel-frequency scaled log spectra in the frequency and time domains. It has averaged spectral features, dynamic spectral features, and averaged and dynamic features of power of the two-dimensional mel-log spectra in the analyzed interval. The neural network in this study is a three-layered feedforward neural network and learns automatically using a back-propagation algorithm. Dynamic spectral features, and averaged and dynamic features of power are used as the input of a neural network. The experimental results of speaker-dependent word recognition experiments for 100 Japanese city names uttered by nine speakers show that dynamic spectral features smoothed with respect to time are effective, and a recognition accuracy of 99.1% was obtained.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"29 1","pages":"533-536 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84303626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The maximum model reduction error can be reduced to a lower value by an appropriate choice of the weighting factor. The direct model of B.C. Moore (1982) and the singular perturbation approximation method will become two special cases in the modified technique. A stability criterion for the reduced-order model and a procedure for selection of the weighting factor are developed. The formulae for the L/sub infinity /-norm error bound on the reduction at zero and infinite frequencies are also derived. The proposed model reduction method is demonstrated by designing lower-order controllers for a Phillips Laboratory experimental flexible grid structure.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"934-938 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81949353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
