Abstract This paper presents the results of a graduate research project that is required in partial fulfillment for obtaining a Master of Electronic Engineering degree from Monmouth University. The objective of this project was to investigate the infrared (IR) signal characteristics for a television remote control and to analyze techniques for developing an IR interface between a personal computer (PC) and television. The paper describes an approach and the challenges associated with creating this...

Abstract This paper will be an investigation into a hybrid computer simulation to recognize four (A, E, I, O) spoken vowels. The hybrid simulation makes available two modes of operation to achieve the recognition process. A learning mode will provide the algorithms required to categorize each vowel into parameters that can later be accessed by the second or recognition mode. The recognition mode takes the input vowel sound and correlates the recognition mode parameters against the learning mode...
