Shinohara and co-authors present a comprehensive and in-depth discussion of all current wireless power transfer (WPT) methods and meet the growing need for a detailed understanding of the advantages, disadvantages, and applications of each method. WPT is a game-changing technology, not only for IoT networks and sensors, but also for mobile chargers, long-flying drones, solar-powered satellites, and more, and the list of potential applications will continue to grow. Each author’s chapter is based on a minimum of 13 years and a maximum of over 30 years of research experience on selected WPT technologies to explain the theory and advantages and disadvantages of this to various applications. The book provides an insight into WPT theories and technologies, including inductive coupling for short-distance WPT, radio waves for long-distance WPT, optical WPT using lasers, supersonic WPT in water, and more. The characteristics of each WPT method are compared theoretically and technically. The differences of each WPT method are explained with reference to the different theories, techniques, and suitable applications. The reader will gain an understanding of the recent and future commercial market and regulations regarding WPT. They will be able to apply this knowledge to select the appropriate WPT method for their desired application. This book is appropriate for students, WPT researchers, and engineers in industry who are developing WPT applications.
It is becoming crucial to accurately estimate and monitor speech quality in various ambient environments to guarantee high quality speech communication. This practical hands-on book shows speech intelligibility measurement methods so that the readers can start measuring or estimating speech intelligibility of their own system. The book also introduces subjective and objective speech quality measures, and describes in detail speech intelligibility measurement methods. It introduces a diagnostic rhyme test which uses rhyming word-pairs, and includes: An investigation into the effect of word familiarity on speech intelligibility. Speech intelligibility measurement of localized speech in virtual 3-D acoustic space using the rhyme test. Estimation of speech intelligibility using objective measures, including the ITU standard PESQ measures, and automatic speech recognizers.
Until pain, memory, resignation and fury are all subsumed by the one possible conclusion, a thing or two may just be worth doing. Thus a nameless former cop who should never have become a private detective awaits clients in a dingy office across the street from a Chinese restaurant. Impeccably paced and snappily told, even when the truth grows murky, hard-boiled has never come as smooth and pure as in this choice distillation by way of Tokyo, Japan. Warning: No dogs, cute or otherwise, appear in this novel, in or out of water. Legendary manga artist Kazuhiro Kiuchi (Be-bop High School) makes his English language debut as a novelist!
