Analogical Assessment of Train-Induced Vibration and Radiated Noise in a Proposed Theater

This study presents the analogical assessment of the train-induced vibration and radiated noise in a proposed theater. The theater is to be constructed in a region with crowded metro lines, and the assessment is implemented in an analogical building with comparable structural type and metro condition. Prior to the assessment, the comparability...

Rate-constrained noise reduction in wireless acoustic sensor networks

Wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) can be used for centralized multi-microphone noise reduction, where the processing is done in a fusion center (FC). To perform the noise reduction, the data needs to be transmitted to the FC. Considering the limited battery life of the devices in a WASN, the total data rate at which the FC can...

Spatially Correct Rate-Constrained Noise Reduction For Binaural Hearing Aids in Wireless Acoustic Sensor Networks

Compared to monaural hearing aids (HAs), binaural hearing aid systems, in which there is a communication link between the two devices, have improved noise reduction capabilities and the ability to preserve binaural spatial information. However, the limited HA battery lifetime puts constraints on the amount of information that can be shared...

A high resolution model of linear trend in mass variations from DMT-2: Added value of accounting for coloured noise in GRACE data

We present a high resolution model of the linear trend in the Earth’s mass variations based on DMT-2 (Delft Mass Transport model, release 2). DMT-2 was produced primarily from K-Band Ranging (KBR) data of the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE). It comprises a time series of monthly solutions complete to spherical harmonic degree 120...

On the Impact of Quantization on Binaural MVDR Beamforming

Multi-microphone noise reduction algorithms in binaural hearing aids which cooperate through a wireless link have the potential to become of great importance in future hearing aid systems. However, limited transmission capacity of such devices necessitates the data compression of signals transmitted from one hearing aid to the contralateral one....
