However, because of its nature as an average, the image does not provide an indication of the changes in the sound over time. To fix this weakness, several images recorded milliseconds apart are superimposed on one another, creating a typographic model of the behavior of the sound over a staggered time period.
Peacock explains the spectral image created by the Fast Fournier Transform by analyzing the image made by a clarinet playing middle-C concert. The hallmark clarinet characteristics (strong odd harmonics and high energy in the low frequencies) are evident in the spectrograph, as well as features of the tone's behavior as it is sustained through time. Having examined the features of a standard clarinet tone, Peacock moves on to the spectral image of the multiphonic tone....
Key differences in the images are clear. The three loudest pitches in the multiphonic image are only a step away from each other, deviating from the hallmark of the clarinet and resulting in a sound that is decidedly un-clarinet-like. In addition, the multiphonics show heightened irregularity in both partial amplitudes and pitch over time. While the standard tone showed changes in amplitude over time, those changes were uni-directional and preditable, whereas the multiphonic changes appeared at different times and unpredictably.
Peacock concludes by pointing out that the deepened understanding of the complexity of multiphonics that is made possible through this computer imaging can play a crucial role in controlling and manipulating these tones in future performances.
Computer Forensic Tools: The use of computers in homes, schools, offices, and other places has increased in the past few years due to technological developments. As computers have become important components of modern communication, their increased use has also led to the emergence of computer crimes. Computer crimes basically involve the use of a computer system to carry out an illegal activity. In attempts to lessen the frequency and impact of
Computer Science Fundamentals Too often the mechanistic are taken for granted in computer science. The technology has been around long enough now, that many take for granted the great powers that computers and computing technology has afforded modern man and his society. The fundamental characteristics of any successful endeavor should be investigated to help identify a pattern and produce learning and gather information. The purpose of this essay is identify and explain
Computer Dependence The story of Pandora's Box reveals the dangers that technology brings along with its many gifts. Today, some very interesting cultural changes are beginning to take hold of society that stems from the dependence on technology and the way that it is interwoven into culture. The purpose of this essay is to examine the relationship between computer technology and the corresponding dependence that is created by this relationship. This
Computer History Museum: A virtual visit Description of the event The Computer History Museum has both an online and a 'real world' incarnation. It is a physical warehouse of different types of computers, a virtual catalogue of computer history throughout the ages, and also provides information about specific topics pertinent to computer history, such as the history of video games. The Museum contains artifacts such as the first calculators, 'punch cards' and
This is what creates the continual need to share literally everything going on in their lives, as each post releases a significant dopamine rush (Charman-Anderson, 17, 18). Dopamine is also the reason why the many forms of computer addiction are so difficult to treat. With anonymity comes the opportunity to create multiple identities or personas online (Soule, 66, 67). This is what leads employees who have Internet addictions to create
In some areas it will be used for more populist applications such as, in schools to introduce students to the discipline and within an environment that will give opportunity for participation of non-academics in academic discussion. Conclusion Computer has in a great deal widened the world's knowledge. As the fastest technology that has ever evolved, it has given opportunity for the children and adults, for personal, academic and commercial use. It
