Spatial chorus effect with fractal modulation and enhanced user functions

The underlying aim of the stereo chorus effect is to emulate the combination of multiple like voices in unison and provide an extended stereo image. Like it’s close cousin the flanger, whose job is to ‘confuse the ear’s time-correlation mechanism’[1], it also uses a system whereby a signal is added to a dynamically delayed exact replica of itself. One important distinguishing factor between the two effects however lie in the way the delay line duration is modulated. For a chorus effect to attempt to recreate the realism and tiny discrepancies of a multi-layered ensemble, the modulation must be generally faster and random. Chorus effects in general give the user little control over both the modulation signal and the spatial aspects inherent in chorusing. In this paper I will be discussing a new design for a ‘spatial’ chorus effect that incorporates a modulation signal derived from a fractal algorithm with low-pass filter control, and the implementation of extensive user controls and parameters that center around the de-correlation of left/right signal paths resulting in a spatially enhanced outcome.Architecture & Allied Art

Spatial Chorus with Fractal modulation

Chorus is a member of the family of ‘delay based effects’. Like flanging and vibrato the resultant effect is based on the principals of comb filtering and pitch variance due to dynamic modulation. In this lab report I will be discussing the processes undertaken to achieve a chorus effect using a fractal modulator, within the MatLab environment.Architecture & Allied Art

Predictive measurements of college success : a study of the relationship between the freshman testing program and college success at the University of Richmond

The writer undertook this study with several objectives in view. Primarily it was desired to study the exact statistical relationship between academic success at University of Richmond and each of several scores obtained in the freshman testing program. More specifically, it was desired to check the predictive ability of: (1) the Q or quantitative score, (2) the L or linguistic score, (3) the T or total score, (sum of Q and L scores) obtained from the American Council on Education Psychological Examination for College Freshmen. In addition to this, it was desired to compute the validity coefficient for another test of the battery, the Cooperative Reading Comprehension Test. This is one of three complete tests which are combined in the testing program to make up the Cooperative English Test. Finally, it was the purpose of this study to review the literature for reports of previous investigations of this and closely related problems. This was done not only as a check on the writer\u27s findings, but to prevent him from covering over-investigated territory. Also, it was a search for an indication of the most profitable direction of exploration

Internal friction of phase separated glasses

The large internal friction peak observed in a 10Li₂O·10Na₂O·80SiO₂ glass was studied as a function of the degree of phase separation. Transmission electron microscopy was used to evaluate the type and degree of phase separation. No observable changes in the temperature position or height of the internal friction peak were observed at successive stages of phase separation. Phase separation of a mixed alkali borosilicate glass also produced no changes in the internal friction peaks. Phase separation is not considered responsible for the large internal friction peak observed in mixed alkali glasses --Abstract, page ii

Software Development and Testing Support for the Avionics Systems Telemetry Tool Suite

The Customer Avionics Interface Development and Analysis (CAIDA) team provides modeling and simulation software for the verification of the Launch Control System (LCS). In late 2015, CAIDA began development of the Data Exchange Message (DEM) Generator (DEMGen) and development of the DEM Modifier (DEMMod) in early 2017. DEMGen is able to mimic the telemetry streams normally sent by different simulators allowing increased user control and more telemetry instances. DEMMod takes in a telemetry stream and allows the modification of entire packets or simple measurement values. Together, these tools provide the capabilities to simulate and test complex launch scenarios to ensure LCS is fully prepared for any anomalous behavior during an actual launch. In early 2018, CAIDA began a new project called the CAIDA Advanced Telemetry Tool (CATT), which combined the code and documentation of DEMGen and DEMMod. CATT now allows the integration of new tools into a singular program providing compact and easy access. In the fall of 2018, the author worked with another intern, Antonio Negron, to develop several new CATT features along with proper documentation and unit testing. In the following spring, the author continued that work by integrating the features into CATT, solidifying the documentation, and expanding the testing to cover more cases. The outcome of both semesters includes an inspection engine for automated packet analysis, a packet-masking feature, and a multi-measurement sequencing feature
