In this paper, we investigate pitch contour modelling in speech synthesis based on segmental units. A convolutional pitch target approximation model is proposed. This model allows jointly stochastic modelling of framewise pitch and pitch contour of longer ...
In automotive engineering, the main load bearing structure (Body-in-White, BIW) has traditionally been manufactured using metals such as steel and light alloys. In order to satisfy upcoming European regulations on CO2 emissions, considerable weight reducti ...
Wind-turbine wakes have negative effects on wind-farm performance. They are associated with: (a) the velocity deficit, which reduces the generated power of downwind turbines; and (b) the turbulence level, which increases the fatigue loads on downwind turbi ...
Sandwiches based on stampable foam core and face sheets offer potential for cost-effective applications. Since the formability of such sandwich structures mainly depends on the drapability of the face sheets, the deformation behaviour of several types of t ...
An external manipulator for positioning surgical instruments within the abdominal cavity, comprising a hybrid kinematics with a parallel structure, able to provide four, active or passive, positional degrees of freedom to a endoscopic unit, placed in the d ...
This work focuses on the stochastic properties of boresight determination between a strapdown IMU and a frame-based imaging sensor. The core of the stochastic model is a rigorous error propagation of the estimated input accuracies and their correlations. ...
3D kinematic and dynamic analysis is highly required in ski jumping. Current recording techniques (e.g. camera systems) suffered from limitations, such as volume capture or complexity of use and processing. This study proposed a new 3D approach based on in ...
A simple phys. picture which correctly predicts the flip angle effect in Fourier transform spectroscopy discussed by R. R. Ernst et al. (1974) is presented. The approach is based on populations alone and does not require knowledge of the d. matrix formalis ...
The peak intensities within the multiplets in a 2-dimensional NOESY expt. with small flip angles reflect the transition probabilities due to dipolar and other relaxation mechanisms. In the initial rate approxn., the relaxation rates (elements of the W matr ...
