Robust Voice Activity Detection Using the Spectral Peaks of Vowel Sounds

This letter proposes the use of vowel sound detection for voice activity detection. Vowels have distinctive spectral peaks. These are likely to remain higher than their surroundings even after severe corruption. Therefore, by developing a method of detecting the spectral peaks of vowel sounds in corrupted signals, voice activity can be detected as well even in low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) conditions. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm performs reliably under various noise and low SNR conditions. This method is suitable for mobile environments where the characteristics of noise may not be known in advance.

连续氙灯发光光谱的设计与应用研究

对太阳实际光谱与连续氙灯的光谱进行了测试,结果显示氙灯发光光谱的红外部分占全部光谱的55.6%,与实际太阳光谱的28.4%有较大差别。依据这种差别进行光谱曲线拟合,得到925 nm最低点的透过率曲线。采用滤光片对氙灯发光光谱的红外部分光强进行适当过滤,测得过滤后的光谱达到标准匹配度。通过测试滤光后6个不同位置点的光谱发现,光谱最大偏差仅为12.5%,表明过滤后的氙灯光谱均匀性较好。利用电致发光检测有缺陷的硅电池进行电池的电性能测试,发现经过采用滤光片和未采用滤光片的连续氙灯光照测试的Ⅰ-Ⅴ电性能值不同,功率相差0.22 W,表明氙灯光谱匹配度直接影响电池电性能测试的准确度。     

Raman Spectroscopy of Biological Tissues

Abstract

This article reviews some of the recent advances in Raman spectroscopy, in areas related to natural tissues and cell biology. It summarizes some of the most widely used peak frequencies and their assignments. The aim of this study is to prepare a database of molecular fingerprints, which will help researchers in defining the chemical structure of the biological tissues introducing most of the important peaks present in the natural tissues. In spite of applying different methods, there seems to be a considerable similarity in defining the peaks of identical areas of the spectra. As a result, it is believed that preparing a unique collection of the frequencies encountered in Raman spectroscopic studies can lead to significant improvements both in the quantity and quality of spectral data and their outcomes. This article is the first review of its kind to provide a precise database on the most important Raman characteristic peak frequencies for researchers aiming to analyze natural tissues by Raman spectroscopy and will especially be of considerable assistance to those who are focusing on the analysis of cancerous tissues by Raman spectroscopy.

大气透过率对红外系统作用距离的影响分析

红外系统的作用距离是评价系统探测能力的重要性能指标。研究了大气传输介质对中红外探测波段的影响,计算了典型飞行目标中红外辐射在大气中的传输,分析了红外系统作用距离随相对湿度和大气能见度的变化。结果表明:红外系统作用距离随相对湿度的增加而减小,随能见度的增加而增大。对于800 K的目标,在能见度小于8 km的浑浊大气中,8~12 μm 探测波段的作用距离大于3~5 μm。在中等及良好能见度时,8~12 μm探测波段的作用距离小于3~5 μm波段。为红外探测跟踪系统的设计、性能指标考核与评价提供参考。     

Design of electron wave filters in monolayer graphene with velocity modulations

We compare the transport properties of electrons in monolayer graphene by modulating the Fermi velocity inside the barrier. A critical transmission angle is found only when the Fermi velocity in the barriers is larger than the one outside the barriers. It is shown that the transmission exhibits periodicity with the incident angle below the critical transmission angle, and attenuates exponentially in the opposite situation. For both situations, peak splitting occurs in the transmission as the number of the velocity barriers increases, and the characteristics of the transmission suggest an interesting application of an excellent band-pass filter. The dependence of the conductance on the Fermi energy through an identical velocity- modulation structure differs wildly with different Fermi velocities of the barrier. The counterpart of the peak splitting is the sharp oscillations in the conductance profile. Furthermore, some oscillations for the multiple barriers are so sharp that the structure may be used as an excellent sensor.     

Quantitative analysis of ethanol–methanol–water ternary solutions using Raman spectroscopy

Raman spectroscopy was used for rapid in-situ measurement of alcohols in ethanol-methanol-water ternary systems. Mass fractions of the individual components were determined using calibration curves for binary systems of ethanol-water, methanol-water, and ethanol-methanol. Calibration curves were constructed by calculating the ratio of the Raman peak intensity of a component and that of an external standard (acetonitrile). Assuming additivity of the spectra, simultaneous equations were written, and mass fractions of ethanol, methanol, and water in the ternary solutions were determined by solving the system of equations through calculating an inverse matrix. The relative errors between the mass fractions obtained from the Raman spectra and those obtained from mass measurements were <0.6%.
