the book provides many solved examples that illustrate the principles involved,
and includes, in addition, two chapters that deal exclusively with applications of
unconstrained and constrained optimization methods to problems in the areas of
pattern recognition, control systems, robotics, communication systems, and the
design of digital filters. For each application, enough background information
is provided to promote the understanding of the optimization algorithms used
to obtain the Desired solutions.
This application note considers the design of frequency-
selective filters, which modify the frequency content
and phase of input signals according to some specification.
Two classes of frequency-selective digital filters
are considered: infinite impulse response (IIR) and finite
impulse response (FIR) filters. The design process
consists of determining the coefficients of the IIR or FIR
filters, which results in the Desired magnitude and
phase response being closely approximated.

Steganography is the art of communicating a message by embedding it into multimedia data. It is Desired to maximize the
amount of hidden information (embedding rate) while preserving security against detection by unauthorized parties. An appropriate
information-theoretic model for steganography has been proposed by Cachin
un the configuration script
----------------------------
In the CGIs directory there is a configure.s and a configure.bat file.
Run this file after you ve moved the CGIs directory to it s Desired
location. The configure script will create a file nammed apache.conf.
Append this file the the httpd.conf file.
LINUX:
[prompt]$ ./configure.s
[prompt]$ cat apache.conf >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Note: you may need to set the executable flag on the script
chmod 755 configure.s
WINDOWS:
prompt> configure.bat
Copy the contents of apache.conf to httpd.conf
This is an example program showing how to use the LMX2326 chip. The program configures the chip and then prompts the user for a channel number. When the channel number is entered, the pll tunes to the Desired frequency.
Commercially available active noise control headphones rely on fixed analog controllers to drive "anti-noise" loudspeakers. Our design uses an adaptive controller to optimally cancel unwanted acoustic noise. This headphone would be particularly useful for workers who operate or work near heavy machinery and engines because the noise is selectively eliminated. Desired sounds, such as speech and warning signals, are left to be heard clearly. The adaptive control algorithm is implemented on a Texas Instruments (TI™ )
1
TMS320C30GEL digital signal processor (DSP), which drives a Sony CD550 headphone/microphone system. Our experiments indicate that adaptive noise control results in a dramatic improvement in performance over fixed noise control. This improvement is due to the availability of high-performance programmable DSPs and the self-optimizing and tracking
capabilities of the adaptive controller in response to the surrounding noise.
We introduce a sub-cell WENO reconstruction method to evaluate spatial derivatives in the high-order ADER scheme. The basic idea in our reconstruction is to use only r stencils to reconstruct the point-wise values of solutions and spatial derivatives for the 2r-1 th order
ADER scheme in one dimension, while in two dimensions, the dimension-by-dimension sub-cell reconstruction approach for spatial derivatives is employed. Compared with the original ADER scheme of Toro and Titarev (2002) [2] that uses the direct derivatives of reconstructed polynomials for solutions to evaluate spatial derivatives, our method not only reduces greatly the computational costs of the ADER scheme on a given mesh,
but also avoids possible numerical oscillations near discontinuities, as demonstrated by a number of one- and two-dimensional numerical tests. All these tests show that the 5th-order ADER scheme based on our sub-cell reconstruction method achieves the Desired accuracy, and is essentially non-oscillatory and computationally cheaper for problems with discontinuities.
Computes all eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix a,
! which is of size n by n, stored in a physical np by np array.
! On output, elements of a above the diagonal are destroyed.
! d returns the eigenvalues of a in its first n elements.
! v is a matrix with the same logical and physical dimensions as a,
! whose columns contain, on output, the normalized eigenvectors of a.
! nrot returns the number of Jacobi rotations that were required.
! Please notice that the eigenvalues are not ordered on output.
! If the sorting is Desired, the addintioal routine "eigsrt"

This report presents a tutorial of fundamental array processing and beamforming theory relevant to microphone array speech processing. A microphone array consists of multiple microphones placed at different spatial locations. Built upon a knowledge of sound propagation principles, the multiple inputs can be manipulated to enhance or attenuate signals emanating from particular directions. In this way, microphone arrays provide a means of enhancing a Desired signal in the presence of corrupting noise sources. Moreover, this enhancement is based purely on knowledge of the source location, and so microphone array techniques are applicable to a wide variety of noise types. Microphone arrays have great potential in practical applications of speech processing, due to their ability to provide both noise robustness and hands-free signal acquisition.
