    摘要: A spherically steerable microphone array structure is provided. The spherically steerable microphone array structure uses pressure and acoustic particle velocity signals obtained from sensors positioned co-planarly on a circular arc. The spherically steerable microphone array structure allows a calculation of all spatial partial derivatives of a sound field up to a given order. The spatial partial derivatives are used to obtain a spherical harmonic decomposition of a recorded sound field. Spherical harmonic decomposition coefficients are used in a spherically direction-invariant acoustic mode beamforming.

    摘要: A semiconductor photodiode which functions in a wide band range up to medium wave infrared and far wavelengths in addition to visible region and near infrared includes: a light absorber region in micro structure which can provide light absorbance upon being roughened by laser; a first electrical lower contact coated with metal materials such as aluminium (Al), silver (Ag); a silicon which consists of crystalline silicon (c-Si); a second electrical lower contact which is coated with metal materials such as aluminium (Al), silver (Ag); a chalcogen doped hyper-filled silicone region which is obtained as a result of doping by pulse laser to the silicone region implanted by chalcogen elements; and upper electrical contact parts which are coated generally in the thickness range of 10 nm-1000 nm by using two-layered alloys with aluminium (Al)—(Al)-silver (Ag), two-layered alloys with titanium (Ti)-gold (Au), three-layered alloys with Ti-Platinum(Pt)—Au—Ag or three-layered alloys with Ti-lead(Pb)—Ag.

    摘要: A method for reducing a total operational load of a method of a model predictive control-by conducting simplifications based on specific observations, in order to drive alternating current motors by using the method of the MPC with a two-level voltage source inverter. The method includes the steps of determining at which one of the predefined sectors a resultant of stator currents is present, determining a motor mode, reducing seven estimation vectors to four estimation vectors and calculating a cost function or reducing seven estimation vectors to five estimation vectors and calculating the cost function.

    摘要: A method is provided for acoustic source direction of arrival estimation and acoustic source separation, via spatial weighting of the dictionary based display of the steered response function calculated for a certain number of directions from spherical harmonic decomposition coefficients obtained from microphone array recordings of the sound field. The usage of spatial band limited functions of plane waves to represent more complex directional maps of the sound field constitutes the algorithm. These functions are calculated for pre-defined directions on an analysis surface (such as a sphere). The directions of arrival of sound sources are calculated with the same method in order to group source estimates to localize sound sources. Thereby, directions of arrival can be obtained from the recordings of the sound sources captured by means of a microphone array and following this, sound sources can be separated by using this direction information or predetermined source arrival directions.
