      Speech Recognition: Invited Papers Presented at the 1974 IEEE Symposium discusses several topics, including speech recognition systems, systems organization, acoustic-phonetics, parameter extraction, as well as syntax and semantics. Organized into five parts encompassing 20 chapters, this compilation of papers starts with an overview of the basic structure of speech understanding systems. This text then discusses the practical applications of automatic speech recognition in several areas, including quality control inspection, automated material handling, direct communication with computers, and inventory taking and control. Other chapters consider the operational methods for applying higher level of information to decode the acoustic ambiguities encountered when recognizing larger vocabularies and continuous speech. The final chapter deals with stochastic modeling, which is a valuable and versatile procedure for automatic speech analysis. This book is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers in the fields of artificial intelligence, acoustic-phonetics, linguistics, and computer architecture.

      International Series on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 14: Principles and Applications of Tribology focuses on the principles, methodologies, approaches, and applications of tribology. The publication first ponders on surface topography and friction of metals. Discussions focus on vacuum conditions, effects of sliding speed, hardening of metals, surface contaminants, metal transfer, elastic contact in metals, basic mechanism of friction, junction growth, photogrammetry, texture measurement, outflow meter, surface prints, and actual contact between surfaces. The text then elaborates on friction of elastomers and various materials and hydrodynamic and boundary lubrication. Topics include wettability and contact angle, adsorption of lubricants, molecular structure of boundary lubricants, boundary lubrication of metals, velocity distribution, hydrostatic lubrication, friction and wear of diamond, and viscoelasticity. The manuscript also examines bearing design, transportation and locomotion, and automotive applications. The publication is a vital source of information for researchers interested in tribology.

      Watson’s textile design and colour: Elementary weaves and figured fabrics was first published in 1912 and has been revised several times by the original author and a number of other well respected textile experts. This edition revised by Z Grosicki has been rewritten, reorganised and new approaches have been added to allow a clear understanding of the nature of woven structures. Watson’s textile design and colour is a comprehensive treatise on simple woven cloth construction and design.

      This is the third edition of a book which has consistently fulfilled its aim of making a low-priced collection of tables available to the student and practicing engineer. In the second edition all parameters were made non-dimensional. This new edition now includes and additional table of Isentropic flow; it is hoped that this inclusion will significantly increase the range of application of the book's data.

      Error Coding for Arithmetic Processors provides an understanding of arithmetically invariant codes as a primary technique of fault-tolerant computing by discussing the progress in arithmetic coding theory. The book provides an introduction to arithmetic error code, single-error detection, and long-distance codes. It also discusses algebraic structures, linear congruences, and residues. Organized into eight chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the mathematical background in number theory, algebra, and error control techniques. It then explains the basic mathematical models on a register and its number representation system. The reader is also introduced to arithmetic processors, as well as to error control techniques. The text also explores the functional units of a digital computer, including control unit, arithmetic processor, memory unit, program unit, and input/output unit. Students in advanced undergraduate or graduate level courses, researchers, and readers who are interested in applicable knowledge on arithmetic codes will find this book extremely useful.
