Speech/Audio compression c. JPEG compression d. None of the above 2. Peak picking is equivalent to downsampling. (T/F) 3. Picking the first components bares similarities to low pass filtering. (T/F) 4. In the peak picking algorithm, all the phase components are set to zero. (T/F) 5. Running DSP algorithms on a generic processor is faster than running the same algorithm on real time DSP hardware. (T/F) 6. The SNRs obtained with peak picking are better / worse (circle one) than the SNRs obtained by

Each histogram in Figures 1-4 shows the grade distribution of each of thesecategories, with each section of the histogram corresponding to a letter grade (A, A-, B+, B etc.)based on the standard university grade scheme shown in Table 2.Based on these histograms and the course averages for each category, there are minimaldifferences in the Application Assignments, Midterm 2 Exam, and Overall Course grade betweenthe semester that used the traditional textbook and the semester that used the zyBooks e-textbook. The one category that did have a difference was the Final Exam. In this case therewas a 2.4% decrease from Autumn 2017 to Autumn 2018. The exam and preparation for theexam was the same in

. Figure 4. Image of the main circuit board of the Proteus robot controller. The front is pictured in (a) and the back pictured in (b).In order to have individual communication, the XBee receivers in each controller and the XBeetransmitters on each course section must be paired to the same channel. Since there are twocourses each with 4 course sections, there are 8 different static transmit addresses whichbroadcast robot positional data and course objective information. When a robot is ready to run ona course section, the user must input what course section the robot is running on (the sections arelettered A-H which represent the 8 course sections). The robot controller then configures theXBee accordingly to listen to the

Reverse Engineering the Intelitek Dynamic Link Library Upon inspection we determinedthat the ScorBase Software provided with the Scorbot simply calls an Intelitek proprietary andundocumented dynamic link library (DLL) to communicate with the Scorbot’s Control Box.Although a complete picture of the routines encapsulated in this DLL is not known outside of themanufacturer, there are web sites that share some incomplete knowledge about the DLL routines[8]. In addition, these primitive routines are

In the previoussemester, B grade was the most common, some C, D and F grades were also assigned. Overall,there was better student performance in the semester.

Inspecific, we wanted to: 1. Provide students with a portable laboratory environment that would enable them to continue their active learning after the class period has ended and the laboratory closed. a. Distribute laboratory software for free. b. Eliminate college’s need to track software licenses. 2. Empower students to demonstrate laboratory learning activities at home or at work. 3. Free the instructor from administrative budget constraints (both time and cost). 4. Free the instructor to choose most appropriate
present project therefore is an effort todevelop a much more comprehensive Compressible Fluid Flow Solver (CFFS) intended forclassroom and educational use.Objectives of the paperIn the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Lamar University, compressible flow course isan elective course typically offered in the spring semester of each year. It is a three-credit hourclass with three 1-hour lectures per week. This paper describes the development of a web-basesolver for compressible flows using Java programming language. The main goal of the solver isto provide students with a software tool that can be used in the compressible flow course. Themain objectives of the project are (a) To design and develop a compressible flow solver (b) To test and
to lack of a control group, this belief cannot be confirmed by the current study.Bibliography1. B. Ferri and J.
