Vowel Migration/Modification in Sung Filipino Tagalog Texts
The researchers of this project aim to further analyze vowel intelligibility and develop software applications intended to be used not only by professional singers but also by individuals who wish to improve their singing capability. This project is the continuation of a previous research project from the UP Digital Signal Processing Laboratory dealing with the development of an intelligibility measurement tool for sung migrated Filipino vowels.
WCEL undergraduate researchers implement a Zigbee Based Active RFID
Active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are now being assimilated into certain business processes. The use of active RFID, with onboard power sources in the transponders, provides a more robust system in terms of reading range and directivity compared to passive RFID because of higher transmitting power and higher receiving sensitivity. The only drawback for active RFID is the need for a power source due to the utilization of active circuits.The aim of the project is to develop an active RFID system using the Eazix EZZBM0x family modules as platform.
