This paper describes a 4-μm-period (16 μm 2 /bit) magnetic bubble device based on ion-implanted propagation patterns. Single-layer LaSmLuBiGa—IG films were implanted with Ne + and He + ions using densifiedphotoresist masking patterns. Coarse (three eighths of a period) minimum features were used in the Permalloy and Al-Cu levels. A 21-Oe overlap bias range was obtained for generation, propagation, transfer, anddetection at 55-Oe drive. Generation anddetection were demonstrated to have a 39-Oe bias range at 44-Oe drive, and a 39-Oe bias range for minor-loop propagation was obtained at ≥33-Oe drive.

Accurate location of the endpoints of spoken words andphrases is important for reliable and robust speech recognition. The endpoint detection problem is fairly straightforward for high-level speech signals in low-level stationary noise environments (e.g., signal-to-noise ratios greater than 30-dB rms). However, this problem becomes considerably more difficult when either the speech signals are too low in level (relative to the background noise), or when the background noise becomes highly nonstationary. Such conditions are often encountered in the switched telephone network when the limitation on using local dialed-up lines is removed. In such cases the background noise is often highly variable in both level and spectral content because of transmission line characteristics, transients and tones from the line and/or from signal generators, etc. Conventional speech endpoint detectors have been shown to perform very poorly (on the order of 50-percent worddetection) under these conditions. In this paper we present an improved word-detection algorithm, which can incorporate both vocabulary (syntactic) and task (semantic) information, leading to word-detection accuracies close to 100 percent for isolateddigit detection over a wide range of telephone transmission conditions.

Automatic speech recognition has advanced to the stage where it is now possible to recognize connected strings of words (e.g., digits, letters, city names, airline terms) from a word reference set of isolated tokens of each of the words in the vocabulary. Recently, an improved training technique called embedded word training was proposed, in which reference word patterns were extracted from within connected word sequences themselves. In this investigation we extend the embedded word training procedure to handle letters of the alphabet for use in a directory listing retrieval task. By performing connected letter recognition of spoken names based on letter classes (rather than specific letters themselves), we show how reliable name recognition results can be achieved using a fairly straightforward system on 200 randomly chosen names (chosen from an 18,210-name directory) spoken at a normal rate by four talkers (three male, one female) in a speaker-trained mode. We have found that an 8-percent improvement in name recognition accuracy is obtained when using embedded letter training patterns over that obtained from isolated letter patterns alone. The overall name recognition accuracy was close to 95 percent.

A turning point occurred in naval engineering in 1972 when the U.S. N avy chose to use marine gas turbines for the propulsion of its new SPRUANCE and PERRY Class ships. This paper reviews the more than twenty years of experience with turbine technology and its design integration into combat ships needed to make that decision. It is concluded that the availability of a good second generation aircraft derivative engine with proven reliability and a strong commercial base, i.e., the LM-2500, was as important to the decision as was the predicted improved ship effectiveness and cost benefits. This paper discusses improvements that can be made to the twin engine, single gear, single propeller shaft system. Focusing only on this mechanical transmission concept, it addresses the impact of possible improvements to the engine, gear, and shafting. In particular, the paper discusses current LM-2500 related R&d efforts to: (a) obtain improved part-power fuel rates, (b) integrate with a reversing reduction gear, and (c) add on a waste heat recovery steam cycle. Looking ahead to the year 2000, this paper suggests that a successor to the ubiquitous LM-2500 will appear in the 15 MW power range to provide the next step in the evolution of the twin engine package. This new naval engine will most likely be based on an aircraft core that exists at present, such that it will have demonstrated its reliability and commercial potential through many hours of testing prior to its mid-1990 marine conversion. This new engine is expected to offer improved air flow, an excellent fuel rate (approaching a flat 0.30 LB/HP-HR), and effective maintenance monitoring, all at some expense in size, weight, and cost. The year 2000 engine will burn a liquid hydrocarbon fuel similar to JP-5 because of its aircraft origins. Combined with advances in gear and shafting technology, the full twin engine propulsion system of the year 2000 should be markedly lighter, smaller, and more efficient than today's units.

A ship design methodology is presented for developing hull forms that attain improved performance in both seakeeping and resistance. Contrary to traditional practice, the methodology starts with developing a seakeeping-optimized hull form without making concessions to other performance considerations, such as resistance. The seakeeping-optimized hull is then modified to improve other performance characteristics without degrading the seakeeping. Presented is a point-design example produced by this methodology. Merits of the methodology and the point design are assessed on the basis of theoretical calculations and model experiments. This methodology is an integral part of the Hull Form design System (HFdS) being developed for computer-supported naval ship design. The modularized character of HFdS and its application to hull form development are discussed.

Vector quantization has been used in coding applications for several years. Recently, quantization of linear predictive coding (LPC) vectors has been used for speech coding and recognition. In these latter applications, the only method that has been used for deriving the vector quantizer code book from a set of training vectors is the one described by Linde, Buzo, and Gray. In this paper, we compare this algorithm to several alternative algorithms and also study the properties of the resulting code books. Our conclusion is that the various algorithms that we tried gave essentially identical code books.

This paper presents a method of performing fault simulation of digital logic circuits using a special-purpose computer with distributed processing. The architecture for true value simulation presented in an earlier paper can also be used for parallel fault simulation. The special-purpose computer consists of inexpensive microprocessors interconnected by either a time-shared parallel bus or a cross-point matrix. The cross-point matrix provides higher performance than the time-shared parallel bus. The performance of the proposed simulator is better by over two orders of magnitude than traditional logic fault simulation performed on a general-purpose computer. The power of the simulator is proportional to the number of microprocessors over a certain range.

A field study was initiated to learn about the effects of various telephone transmission and switching conditions on the algorithms currently used in the Bell Laboratories, Linear Predictive Coding (LPC)-based, isolated word recognizer. digit recordings were obtained from customers over a variety of transmission facilities. during a 23-day recording period a total of 11,035 isolateddigits were recorded. For each recording, statistics were recorded about the line condition, the background environment, and the customer's ability to speak his/her telephone number as a sequence of isolateddigits. Also recorded was information about the ability of the automatic word end-point detector to find each spoken digit and to accurately determine the correct endpoints. The results of several recognition tests are presented—one using a previously defined set of laboratory-createddigit reference templates, and several others using new sets of reference templates from a subset of the recordeddigits. The performance of the recognizer is poor (average digit accuracy of 77.4 percent) using the laboratory template set, but improves substantially (average digit accuracy of 93.1 percent) for a template set created from the field recordings. The reasons for this improvement in digit recognition accuracy are presented, along with their implications to future work in isolated word recognition.
