Ultrabroadband sound control with deep-subwavelength plasmacoustic metalayers

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Stanislav Sergeev

Controlling audible sound requires inherently broadband and subwavelength acoustic solutions, which are to date, crucially missing. This includes current noise absorption methods, such as porous materials or acoustic resonators, which are typically ineffic ...

Type-Preserving Compilation of Class-Based Languages

Guillaume André Fradji Martres

The Dependent Object Type (DOT) calculus was designed to put Scala on a sound basis, but while DOT relies on structural subtyping, Scala is a fundamentally class-based language. This impedance mismatch means that a proof of DOT soundness by itself is ...

Sound and Complete Verification of Polynomial Networks

Volkan Cevher, Grigorios Chrysos, Fanghui Liu, Mehmet Fatih Sahin, Elias Abad Rocamora

Polynomial Networks (PNs) have demonstrated promising performance on face and image recognition recently. However, robustness of PNs is unclear and thus obtaining certificates becomes imperative for enabling their adoption in real-world applications. Exist ...

Sound Field Reconstruction in a room through Sparse Recovery and its application in Room Modal Equalization

Vu Thach Pham

The acoustics of a room often refer to the quality of the room in terms of sound recording as well as sound reproduction. At low frequencies, where the wavelengths are of the same order of magnitude with the dimensions of the room, due to the standing wave ...

Electrical Signal Modeling in Cochlear Implants. Study of Temperature and Humidity Effects

Maria-Alexandra Paun

The present paper discusses the climatic effects of humidity and temperature on cochlear implant functioning and the quality of the electrical sound signal. MATLAB Simulink simulations were prepared, offering insights into signal behavior under such climat ...

Low frequency sound field reconstruction in a non-rectangular room using a small number of microphones

Hervé Lissek, Vu Thach Pham

An accurate knowledge of the sound field distribution inside a room is required to identify and optimally locate corrective measures for room acoustics. However, the spatial recovery of the sound field would result in an impractically high number of microp ...

Good Vibrations and Unknown Excitations

Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

Inspired by the human ability to localize sounds, even with only one ear, as well as to recognize objects using active echolocation, we investigate the role of sound scattering and prior knowledge in regularizing ill-posed inverse problems in acoustics. In ...

Low Frequency Sound Field Reconstruction in Non-rectangular Room: A Numerical Validation

Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Vu Thach Pham

Characterization of sound fields in rooms has always been a challenging task. A faithful reconstruction of sound fields in rooms generally would require an impractically high number of microphones. At low frequencies, where sound field can be modeled as a ...

Keeping track of sound objects in space: The contribution of early-stage auditory areas

Stephanie Clarke

The influential dual-stream model of auditory processing stipulates that information pertaining to the meaning and to the position of a given sound object is processed in parallel along two distinct pathways, the ventral and dorsal auditory streams. Functi ...

Constant-pressure sound waves in non-Hermitian disordered media

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Stefan Rotter

When waves impinge on a disordered material they are back-scattered and form a highly complex interference pattern. Suppressing any such distortions of a wave’s free propagation is a challenging task with many applications in a number of different discipli ...
