Audio Systems

PLA is used as the base material for hosings for loud speakers. Further, the composition contains aluminum hydroxide as inorganic filler, and a hydrolysis inhibitor (22). 

The inorganic filler allows to adjust the desired acoustical and mechanical properties. The hydrolysis inhibitor comprises at least one member selected from a carbodiimide compound, an isocyanate compound, and an oxazoline compound. 

The hydrolysis inhibitor is added for preventing the acoustic apparatus housing from easily decomposing due to moisture in air during the period of use. Preferred hydrolysis inhibitors are car-bodiimides. A carbodiimide compound can be melt-kneaded with the biodegradable polymer compound. Examples are N,N -dicy-clohexylcarbodiimide or N,N -diisopropylcarbodiimide (22). For definitely obtaining the required mechanical strength a rubber component is added.

Tliis is the prime cause of noise and distortion in an audio system. The capacitive coupling (conduction) between the power and the communication lines gives rise to such an effect. It is associated more with the voltage of the system and particularly when it is capacitor compensated. Even without the power capacitors, the leakage (coupling) capacitances between the HV or EHV power lines, particularly 132 kV and above, and the overhead communication lines play an important role and give rise to this phenomenon. Systems lower than 132 kV do not cause such a situation as a result of the insignificant capacitive effect. 

The design of a connector is a fairly straightforward process. It is easily illustrated with the example of a two-element connector of the type that may be used for either a power connection or to plug in an audio system. However multiple-element (32 and over) are extensively used. The...

HPLC systems are composed of several components with defined functions that represent independent yet interrelated entities, such as those one might find in a hi-fi audio system. The components can be, and often are. inserted in a common frame to form an integrated unit (Fig. 3.1). 

In the perceptual approach one does not characterize the system under test but one characterizes the audio quality of the output signal of the system under test. It uses the ideal signal as a reference and an auditory perception model to determine the audible differences between the output and the ideal. For audio systems that should be transparent the ideal signal is the input signal. An overview of the basic philosophy used in perceptual audio quality measurement techniques is given in Fig. 1.1. 

A method for measuring audio quality, based on the internal representation of the audio signal, has been presented. The method does not characterize the audio system, but the perception of the output signal of the audio system. It can be applied to measurement problems where a reference and a degraded output signal are available. For measurement of audio codec quality the input signal to the codec is used as a reference and the assumption is made that all differences that are introduced by the codec lead to a degradation in quality. 

The frequency domain representation of the data is calculated via an FFT after applying a Hann window with a window length of 1024 samples. The calculation is done with a shift length equal to the block structure of the coding system. As described below, the shift length is 576 samples for Layer 3 of the ISO/MPEG-Audio system.

The reproduction of musical notes or sounds by the new digital recorders known as CD s is not sufficient to discern the notes clearly. In the digital process, the heights of sound peaks and valleys are measured and converted into binary (zero and ones) numbers of bits which in turn are reconverted into waves, and the waves into sound by the audio system.

Most computer audio systems use two or three types of audio data words. 16-bit (per channel) data is quite conunon, and this is the data format used in Compact Disk systems. 8-bit data is common for speech data in PC and telephone systems. There are also methods of quantization that are non linear, meaning that the quantum is not constant over the range of input signal values. In these systems, the quantum is smaller for small ampUtudes, and larger for large amplitudes. This nonlinear quantization will be discussed more in Section 1.5.1. 

Core buyers and their management of the buyer-supplier relationships for product specification and production at Ford Motor Company are described in [51]. Ford has over 350 core buyers responsible for overseeing the relationship with approximately 1,150 suppliers. These suppliers provide component parts or systems (e.g., brake pedals, seats, car audio systems), which are, in turn, assembled into Ford s cars. The core buyers evaluate supplier capability negotiate component specifications, prices, and quantities and decide if suppliers should be offered engineering assistance. While no costs are charged to supphers, the procurement manager chooses how to deploy these scarce resources to dehver benefits to Ford.
