The aim of this study is to come up with a fast adder suitable for use in self-timed subsystems. 7 adders were evaluated.
The findings from this study indicated that a Conditional Sum Adder (CSA) is the best candidate for high speed addition. One of the two resulting adders was given the name High Speed Conditional Sum Adder (HSCSA) .

Time Delay Neural Networks And Speech Recognition: Context Independence Of Stops In Different Vowel Environments, Gregory Andrew Makowski
Masters Theses
A series of speech recognition experiments was conducted to investigate time-dynamic speech recognition of stop consonants invariant of vowel environment using data from six talkers. The speech preprocessing was based on previous studies investigating acoustic characteristics which correlate to the place of articulation (Blumstein and Stevens 1979). The place of articulation features were statistically abstracted using four moments and the energy level of the speech sample.
Both statistical and neural network pattern recognition methods were used. Statistical methods included linear and quadratic discriminant functions, maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and K-nearest neighbors (KNN). The neural network approach used was Time Delay …
