Evaluation of dummy-head HRTFs in the horizontal plane based on the peak-valley structure in one-degree spatial resolution

György Wersényi

Publication Name: Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the Usa 35th International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering Inter Noise 2006

Publication Date: 2006-12-01

Volume: 7

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 4487-4495

Description:

Dummy-heads are often used for standardized measurements where modeling of the human head and torso is relevant. Monaural Head-Related Transfer Functions of a Brüel & Kjaer dummy were measured in the horizontal plane in one-degree spatial resolution. Evaluation is made by plotting the peak-valley structure in frequency. Special frequency and spatial domains can be determined based on the variations of the HRTFs that are relevant to understand physical properties of the dummy -head in measurements and processes of human directional hearing. Symmetries and similarities of measured HRTFs help to scrutinize the perception of directional information in the monaural and binaural evaluation, the "noisy domain" in frequency and space where shadowing of the head occur as well as the filtering effect of the pinna.

Identification and reconstruction of car body deformation applying tensor product models

István Harmati András Rövid P. Várlaki László Szeidl

Publication Name: Ines 2006 10th International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems 2006

Publication Date: 2006-12-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 98-101

Description:

Car body deformation modeling plays a very important role in crash accident analyses, as well as in safe car body design. The determination of the energy absorbed by the deformation and the corresponding Energy Equivalent Speed can be of key importance, however their precise determination is a very difficult task. Although, using the results of crash tests, intelligent and soft methods offer an automatic way to model the crash process itself, as well as to determine the absorbed energy, the before-crash speed of the car, etc. In this paper a modeling technique and an intelligent expert system are introduced which together are able to follow the deformation process of car bodies in car crashes and to analyze the strength of the different parts without any human intervention thus significantly can contribute to the improvement of the modeling, (automatic) design, and safety of car bodies. © 2006 IEEE.

Description:

Modelling of vehicle deformational processes plays an important role in car body design and accident analysis. It is a difficult task and usually carried out applying a kind of finite element method. Determination of the absorbed energy by the deformation and the corresponding energy equivalent speed (EES) can be of great importance. Exact determination or measuring of these quantities is almost impossible, so one could estimate them. In this paper we introduce a modeling technique and a model for describing the deformation process. A short description of the main idea: let we have a 3-dimensional rectangular grid on the vehicle body (or on something else). The partition is determined by taking into consideration the energy absorbing properties of the parts of the vehicle, so each cell is approximately homogenous. The cells could be identified as the entries of a tensor of order 3. We concentrate on the energy absorbed by the cells, but not on the physical coordinates of the cells. Energy absorption property (rate of the input and the absorbed energy) of a certain cell could change during the deformational process, so the absorbed energy is calculated using a monotonous decreasing function. These functions can be defined for each possible orthogonal direction of the possible impact. Instead of the original impact we deal with its orthogonal components and the result will be the sum of the particular results. The rectangular grid allows us to compute from level to level. These computations can be realized applying tensor products, the model has low complexity which can be more decreased by complexity reducing methods known from linear algebra.

Spatial and spectral properties of the dummy-head during measurements in the head-shadow area based on HRTF evaluation

György Wersényi

Publication Name: Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the Usa 35th International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering Inter Noise 2006

Publication Date: 2006-12-01

Volume: 7

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 4477-4486

Description:

In accurate and repeatable measurements dummy -heads are often used to model the average human head and body. They are suited for standardized measurements and for investigating the human spatial hearing and localization performance. The monaural Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) of the dummy-head can be used for various investigations. This paper uses the HRTF-set of a Brüel & Kjaer head and torso simulator focusing on the so called monaural head-shadow area, where one of the ears is shadowed by the head itself. Based on long-term measurements using the bare torso as well as other accessories (glasses, clothing etc.) on it, the extent of the head-shadow area will be presented in frequency and space. The head-shadow area is investigated in connection with the overall SNR of the measurement and sensitivity domains of the ears. Conclusions are drawn for binaural recognition in human spatial hearing using low-frequency 'bright spots' and high-frequency information during lateral-contralateral evaluation.

Investigation of weed vegetation on wet segetal fields in South-Western Hungary

R. Pál J. P. Koltai Gy Pinke E. Oláh J. Csiky

Publication Name: Journal of Plant Diseases and Proctectio Supplement

Publication Date: 2006-12-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: 20

Page Range: 567-576

Description:

Inland water on soils with bad water balance can lead to serious yield losses. Soil management and plant protection is nearly impossible in these marshy vernal pools, wherefore very special vegetation develops. On the basis of 58 phytocoenological surveys made in South-Western Hungary the vegetation of the vernal pools will be characterised. From phytosociological point of view our surveys stand to Ranunculo sardoi-Alopecuretum geniculati and Myosuro-Ranunculetum sardoi associations the nearest, where the proportion of Nanocyperion elements is significant. The following endangered species occure in these vernal pools: Elatine alsinastrum, Limosella aquatica, Lindernia procumbens, Montia fontana, Peplis portula. However vernal pools in segetal fields are causing losses from economical aspects, they can contribute to increase agrobiodiversity and have an important role in maintaining numerous threatened and protected plant species (Red Data List, IUCN, Corine Biotopes Project, Bern Convention). © Eugen Ulmer KG.

Traffic Dependent Pavement Management Algorithm

Description:

The Road Management Systems (and the PMS) usually do not take into consideration the future traffic change. The maintenance and rehabilitation actions and the development of the road network structure and the changing traffic structure modify the amount of the traffic on the road section. The deterioration process depends on mostly the volume of the traffic. That is why it is important to take into consideration the change of the traffic volume during the planning time horizon. In the lecture some techniques are shown which handle this problem: in multiperiod, long time model at each planning period the traffic volume change is take into consideration.In ranking models the problem could be handled and solved. In the case of one period Markov stabile model there is nothing to do. In the multiperiod model the problem could be solved also.
