The Mechanics Of Low Orbiting Satellites Implications In Communication, Lane Brostrom
The Mechanics Of Low Orbiting Satellites Implications In Communication, Lane Brostrom
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
Low orbiting satellite communication networks will be competing with geosynchronous satellites for a share of the communications market. In world-wide communications that do not require immediate real time transmissions, low orbiting satellites are competitive with geosynchronous satellites because the system is reliable and low in cost.
Since satellites are a clear example of Newtonian laws, the distinct patterns they make in their orbiting process are predictable. Newton's law states that an object will remain in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force: a satellite remains in motion around the earth because there is no atmosphere to slow it down. …
Use Of Synthetic Speech In Tests Of Speech Discrimination, Jane S. Gordon
Use Of Synthetic Speech In Tests Of Speech Discrimination, Jane S. Gordon
Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study was to develop two tape-recorded synthetic speech discrimination test tapes and assess their intelligibility in order to determine whether or not synthetic speech was intelligible and if it would prove useful in speech discrimination testing. Four scramblings of the second MU-6 monosyllable word list were generated by the ECHO l C speech synthesizer using two methods of generating synthetic speech called TEXTALKER and SPEAKEASY. These stimuli were presented in one ear to forty normal-hearing adult subjects, 36 females and 4 males, at 60 dB HL under headphone&. Each subject listened to two different scramblings of …
