The shape of the vocal tract is generally non-linear, so non-linear voice conversion is more compatible with human speech.
Th end-effector has a polishing head that can be extended and retracted by a linear hollow voice coil actuator to provide tool compliance.
We present a novel system for large-area scanning probe microscopy (SPM) measurements based on minimum counter-force linear guidance mechanisms, voice coils, interferometers and fuzzy logic-based feedback loop electronics.
His piano accompaniments are highly linear and contrapuntal; the voice and piano lines mingle daringly.
This result, differentiating EP from Italian stop voicing, is backed up by the linear mixed models analysis of voicing status at the central part of the stop closure, with significant differences between Italian and EP.
In particular, this paper extends the idea of modelling F0 contours using linear approximations in each voiced segment, the focus of earlier work, to other parameters of the source-filter model to parameterise short-term temporal variations prior to segment-by-segment modelling of sequences of these parameter vectors with a back-end.
However, most of the conventional VC methods, including the GMM-based approaches, rely on 'shallow' voice conversion based on linear (or piecewise linear) transformation.
Related efforts (employing dual-stage methods) have addressed variants on designs using PZT elements, voice coils, or linear motors.
Problems in analyzing voiced speech using linear prediction occur often due to the harmonic structure of the excitation source, which causes the autocorrelation function to be an aliased version of that of the vocal tract impulse response.
The game will have a full campaign mode, complete with voice acting and a linear plot.
