Particle Filtering for Joint Symbol and Code Delay Estimation in DS Spread Spectrum Systems in Multipath Environment
(2004-11-07)We develop a new receiver for joint symbol, channel characteristics, and code delay estimation for DS spread spectrum systems under conditions of multipath fading. The approach is based on particle filtering techniques and ...

Particle Filtering Applied to Musical Tempo Tracking
(2004-11-07)This paper explores the use of particle filters for beat tracking in musical audio examples. The aim is to estimate the time-varying tempo process and to find the time locations of beats, as defined by human perception. ...

Proximity coherence for chip-multiprocessors
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer LaboratoryTrinity Hall, 2011-11-08)Many-core architectures provide an efficient way of harnessing the growing numbers of transistors available in modern fabrication processes; however, the parallel programs run on these platforms are increasingly limited ...

Deep ocean clay crusts: behaviour and biological origin
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-03-15)In water depths of 500m to greater than 2,000m, off the West coast of Africa, sediments comprise very soft clays with extremely high water contents and plasticity. In situ CPT and T-bar testing in these areas have identified ...

Minimizing Detection Probability Routing in Ad Hoc Networks Using Directional Antennas
(2009-06-08)In a hostile environment, it is important for a transmitter to make its wireless transmission invisible to adversaries because an adversary can detect the transmitter if the received power at its antennas is strong enough. ...

Distributed virtual environment scalability and security
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer LaboratoryMicrosoft Research Cambridge, 2011-11-08)Distributed virtual environments (DVEs) have been an active area of research and engineering for more than 20 years. The most widely deployed DVEs are network games such as Quake, Halo, and World of Warcraft (WoW), with ...

Statistical models for noise-robust speech recognition
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-11-08)A standard way of improving the robustness of speech recognition systems to noise is model compensation. This replaces a speech recogniser's distributions over clean speech by ones over noise-corrupted speech. For each ...

Practice, power and learning in UK recorded music companies
(University of CambridgeJudge Business SchoolSt. Catharine's College, 2011-10-11)This thesis adopts a practice-based approach to understanding how power, knowledge and knowing intermingle in organizations to facilitate/constrain individual access to opportunities for knowing-in-practice (learning). It ...

Experimental characterisation of bubbly flow using MRI
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering and BiotechnologyTrinity College, 2011-11-08)This thesis describes the first application of ultra-fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) towards the characterisation of bubbly flow systems. The principle goal of this study is to provide a hydrodynamic characterisation ...

The effect of inkjet ink composition on rheology and jetting behaviour
(Proc 27th Int. Conf. on Digital Printing Technologies, 2011)This work presents recent results on the way linear and non linear viscoelastic properties of the fluids affect the jetting mechanism. Recent progress on quantitative characterising both high frequency linear (LVE) and ...

Inkjet printing of non-Newtonian fluids
(Proc 27th Int. Conf. on Digital Printing Technologies, NIP27, 2011)Jet breakup is strongly affected by fluid rheology. In particular,small amounts of polymer can cause substantially different breakup dynamics compared to a Newtonian jet, influencing in-flight fragmentation and detachment ...

Holographic Measurement of Drop-on-Demand Drops in Flight
(Proc 27th Int. Conf. on Digital Printing Technologies, NIP27, 2011)The analysis of images of ink drops in flight can provide information about jet straightness, drop velocity and volume. However trade-offs between field of view, optical and digital resolution and other factors such as ...

Jetting, In-Nozzle Meniscus Motion and Nozzle-Plate Flooding in an Industrial Drop-on-Demand Print Head
(Proc 27th Int. Conf. on Digital Printing Technologies, NIP27, 2011)The state of the ink film at and near the nozzles of a drop-ondemand(DoD) print head during jetting has a direct impact on printing performance and reliability. We have developed highspeed imaging apparatus and analytical ...

Dependence of drop speed on nozzle diameter, viscosity and drive amplitude in drop-on-demand ink-jet printing
(Proc 27th Int. Conf. on Digital Printing Technologies, NIP27, 2011)Results of recent experiments and numerical simulations are presented, which have been used to establish empirical rules for the dependence of drop speed on nozzle diameter and drive amplitude for Newtonian and non-Newtonian ...

Measurements of the structure of turbulent premixed and stratified methane/air flames
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-11-08)The influence of stratification on the structure of turbulent methane/air combustion is investigated using experimental data from laboratory scale burners: a weakly turbulent slot burner, and a higher turbulence co-annular ...

Second-order algebraic theories
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and Technology, 2011-11-08)Second-order universal algebra and second-order equational logic respectively provide a model theory and a formal deductive system for languages with variable binding and parameterised metavariables. This work completes ...
