    摘要: A high-speed gated flip-flop includes a latch configured to generate a data output signal (Q) in response to a data input signal (D) and a pair of true and complementary clock pulses (GCP,GCPB). These clock pulses are provided by a clock generator responsive to a periodic clock signal (CK). A control circuit is also provided. The control circuit is coupled to a feedback node (ND2) in the pulse generator. The control circuit configured to selectively enable the pulse generator in response to an enable signal (/EN). The pulse generator is configured so that an active transition of the true clock pulse (GCP) is fed back to the feedback node (ND2) in a manner that resets the pulse generator and terminates the true and complementary clock pulses in-sync with the active (e.g., low-to-high) transition of the true clock pulse (GCP).

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a similar speaker recognition method and system using nonlinear analysis. The recognition method extracts a nonlinear feature of a sound signal through nonlinear analysis of the sound signal and combines the nonlinear feature with a linear feature such as spectrum. The method transforms sound data in a time domain into status vectors in a phase domain and uses a nonlinear time series analysis method capable of representing nonlinear features of the status vectors to extract nonlinear information of a sound. The method can overcome technical limitations of conventional linear algorithms. The recognition method can be applied to sound-related application systems other than speaker recognition systems.
