sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods‚ a processor of frozen foods: "Over time‚ the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better‚ they become more efficient. in color film processing‚ for example‚ the costs of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its 25th birthday‚ we can expect that our

traditional multi-bit ADC with a sine-wave input signal. This input is sampled at a frequency Fs. According to Nyquist theory‚ Fs must be at least twice the bandwidth of the input signal. When observing the result of an FFT analysis on the digital output‚ we see a single tone and lots of random noise extending from DC to Fs/2 (Figure 1). Known as quantization noise‚ this effect results from the following consideration: the ADC input is a continuous signal with an infinite number of possible states‚ but

A Central Processing Unit (CPU) is a chip‚ containing a microprocessor‚ at the heart of most every modern computing electronic. A microprocessor is a small integrated circuit or chip‚ comprised of silicon and transistors‚ which interprets electrical impulses‚ performs operations on the electrical impulses‚ and sends the impulses to another device. The transistors are simple switches that turn on and off‚ allowing the electrical impulses through when on or open ’. Microprocessors are very small

without any noise. This microphone doesn’t accept any sound other than sound of knocking. From microphone we get a current signal that is proportional to the energy of the sound wave received by the microphone. Then this signal is send to the signal amplifier. This circuit amplifies the weak signal from microphone so it can be used in processing. Then the amplified signal is send

APPLICATION OF DSP (DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING) IN MEDICINE: Digital signal processing (DSP) is concerned with the representation of the signals by a sequence of numbers or symbols and the processing of these signals. APPLICATION IN MEDICINE: DSP in medical imaging such as MRI (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING). DSP used in medicine all over the world. Examples are drawn from a number of areas of medicine and health care‚ and include neurophysiology and obstetrics. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques have

(analog-to-digital converter) The hardware that converts an analog audio or video signal into a digital signal that you can process with a computer. Aliasing - Noise that occurs when a high frequency sound exceeds the Nyquist Frequency for a given sample rate. Most analog-to-digital converters prevent aliasing by filtering out sounds above the Nyquist Frequency. Amplitude - Amplitude represents the volume of an audio signal. A waveform’s amplitude is measured by its distance from the center line‚ which

produce a close approximation of the original signal. The wavelet transform of a signal decomposes the original signal into wavelets coefficients at different scales and positions. These coefficients represent the signal in the wavelet domain and all data operations can be performed using just the corresponding wavelet coefficients. The major issues concerning the design of this Wavelet based speech coder are choosing optimal wavelets for speech signals‚ decomposition level in the DWT‚ thresholding
