An Application Of Speech Synthesis, Edward J. Purvis Jan 1984

An Application Of Speech Synthesis, Edward J. Purvis

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This paper discusses the implementation of a synthesized computer voice facility for a missile trainer. The actual facility hardware is described. Software used to control the hardware operation is presented and discussed.


Pilot Study Of Applicability Of A Generic Microprocessor Assembly Language, Joseph H. Bartlett Jan 1984

Pilot Study Of Applicability Of A Generic Microprocessor Assembly Language, Joseph H. Bartlett

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation is to research the utility of a standardized generic microprocessor assembly language. More precisely, use of a generic language implementation on a given microprocessor and its effect on programmer productivity will be investigated. Programmer productivity will be scored in terms of an inverse function of the time taken to complete a programming task correctly. Shorter times imply better programmer productivity and longer times imply the opposite


Investigation And Evaluation Of Random Number Generators For Digital Implementation, Ylberto V. Ruiz Jan 1984

Investigation And Evaluation Of Random Number Generators For Digital Implementation, Ylberto V. Ruiz

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The continuous improvement in the speed of digital components in conjunction with reduction of size has brought about a revolutionary age of microprocessors. Mathematical functions, which at one time could only be implemented by complex analog circuitry, can now be easily implemented via microprocessors and high density digital components. Principles of random number generation must be understood in order to implement pseudo-random algorithms in a digital random frequency generator (DRFG) design. Chapter 1 is a discussion of several types of random number algorithms which have been used in the past and outlines the deficiencies and advantages associated with each individual …
