The membranous contact quotient: A new phonatory measure of glottal competence

The membranous contact quotient (MCQ) is introduced as a measure of dynamic glottal competence. It is defined as the ratio of the membranous contact glottis (the anterior-posterior length of contact between the two membranous vocal folds) and the membranous vocal fold length. An elliptical approximation to the vocal fold contour during phonation was used to predict MCQ values as a function of vocal process gap (adduction), maximum glottal width, and membranous glottal length. MCQ is highly dependent on the vocal process gap and the maximum glottal width, but not on vocal fold length. Five excised larynges were used to obtain MCQ data for a wide range of vocal process gaps and maximum glottal widths. Predicted and measured MCQ values had a correlation of 0.93, with an average absolute difference of 9.6% (SD = 10.5%). The model is better at higher values of MCQ. The theory for MCQ is also expressed as a function of vocal process gap and subglottal pressure to suggest production control potential. The MCQ measure is obtainable with the use of stroboscopy and appears to be a potentially useful clinical measure.

Statistical confidentiality tests for a quantum transmission using continuous variables

We describe a cryptographic protocol consisting of two entangled beams of squeezed light which makes use of statistical tests to deduce the secret key bit. The sender (Alice) encrypts a secret key by modulating the phase of the beam sent in public by the receiver (Bob) who keeps the other beam private. The knowledge of the degree of non classical correlation between the beam quadrature components measured in private and in public allows only Bob to decrypt the secret key. With a view towards absolute security, we formally prove that any external intervention from an eavesdropper (Eve) during the communication process introduces necessarily some modification susceptible to be detected. Statistical confidentiality tests are proposed to detect the presence of Eve. Received 12 July 2001 and Received in final form 11 November 2001     

Batching deteriorating items with applications in computer communication and reverse logistics

We study two deterministic scheduling problems that combine batching and deterioration features. In both problems, there is a certain demand for identical good quality items to be produced in batches. In the first problem, each batch is assigned an individual machine that requires a cost and a time to be activated. All the machines are identical, work in parallel, and always produce good quality items. All the items are available at time zero and they deteriorate while waiting for production. Deterioration results in a linear increase of time and cost of production. In the second problem, there is a single machine that produces good quality as well as defective items in batches. Each batch is preceded by a setup time and requires a setup cost. Defective items have to be reworked on the same machine. They deteriorate while waiting for rework. At a time to be decided, the machine switches from production to rework defective items of the current batch. After rework, every defective item has the required good quality. In both problems, the objective is to find batch partitioning such that a linear combination of the production cost and production completion time is minimized. The two problems are observed at computer service providers and also reverse logistics. In computer service providers, machines and items correspond to communication service channels and information transfer tasks, respectively. We reduce both problems to minimizing a function of one variable representing the number of batches. In an optimal solution of either problem, there are at most two different batch sizes. Linear time algorithms are proposed for both problems.     

Adaptive detection technique for optical wireless communication over strong turbulence channels

Optical wireless communication (OWC) systems use the atmosphere as a propagation medium, so the atmospheric turbulence effects lead to fading related with signal intensity. The received signal of OWC over strong turbulence channels is assumed to be a mixture of K-distributed fading and Gaussian distributed thermal noise. Second-order spectral analysis is unable to separately estimate the mixed signal. In order to mitigate the fading induced by turbulence, the decision threshold-updating algorithm based on second and higher order cumulants is proposed and is able to operate in an unknown turbulence environment. The performance of the adaptive processing scheme has been evaluated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Simulation results show the improvement of the bit error rate (BER) performance.     

Optimal competence set expansion using deduction graphs

A competence set is a collection of skills used to solve a problem. Based on deduction graph concepts, this paper proposes a method of finding an optimal process so as to expand a decision maker's competence set to enable him to solve his problem confidently. Using the concept of minimum spanning tree, Yu and Zhang addressed the problem of the optimal expansion of competence sets. In contrast, the method proposed here enjoys the following advantages: it can deal with more general problems involving intermediate skills and compound skills; it can find the optimal solution by utilizing a 0–1 integer program; and it can be directly extended to treat multilevel competence set problems, and thus is more practically useful.This work was supported by the National Science Council, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China, Grant No. NSC-81-0301-H-009-501.     

Chaos communication based on synchronization of discrete-time chaotic systems

A novel chaos communication method is proposed based on synchronization of discrete-time chaotic systems. This method uses a full-order state observer to achieve synchronization and secure communication between the transmitter and the receiver. Further, we present a multiple-access chaotic digital communication method by combining the observer with the on-line least square method. Simulation results are also given for illustration.
