  source-filter theory
For an excellent demonstration and explanation of the basics of source-filter theory, visit this website from which some of these materials were taken.
First proposed by Johannes Müeller in the 19th century, source-filter theory accounts for the acoustic properties of what are called "voiced" speech sounds (sounds during whose articulation the vocal chords vibrate).
The first shows the configuration of the vocal tract while articulating the phoneme [i] as in the word "beet," the second the phoneme [a], as in "father," and the third [u] as in "boot." Note how each configuration uniquely affects the acoustic spectrum--i.e., the frequencies that are passed.

One type of filter is the high-pass (or low-cut) shown schematically in Figure 1, along with the resultant frequency response.
The low-pass filter, shown in Figure 2, is constructed by transposing the resistor and capacitor.

To convert a normalized amplitude response curve to a curve representing a filter whose corner frequency is not at one Hertz, multiplying any number on the frequency axis by the intended corner or ripple frequency scales the frequency axis.
For active filters, the THD is usually specified in dBc (dB relative to the amplitude of the fundamental frequency component) and at a specific frequency and amplitude (ex.
Since a switched-capacitor filter is a sampling device, it experiences aliasing errors, frequency components near the sampling frequency that must be eliminated to ensure accuracy.

 Electrostatic Air Filter Theory of Operation
The small chips will be attracted to the filter surface and held there due to the charge that developed on the filter as a result of rubbing it.
This theory was introduced approximately twenty years ago, but was never developed further because of the introduction of powered electronic precipitators which are more effective on particles in the submicron ranges such as cigarette smoke.
The theory of self-charging electrostatic air filters is still new and will be further developed as research is continued to better understand the various electrical characteristics of these materials and how their effectiveness can be increased.

 Filtering for Vowels   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The supralaryngeal vocal tract can be characterized by a filter function, which specifies (for each frequency) the relative amount of energy that is passed through the filter and out the mouth.
The peaks in the filter function of the vocal tract are resonances of the vocal tract when it is in a particular configuration, and are referred to as
The output energy (at the mouth) for a given frequency is equal to the amplitude the source harmonic, mutiplied by the magnitude of the filter function for that the frequency.

 Color Wheel Pro: Color Theory Basics
According to color theory, harmonious color combinations use any two colors opposite each other on the color wheel, any three colors equally spaced around the color wheel forming a triangle, or any four colors forming a rectangle (actually, two pairs of colors opposite each other).
Color theory analyzes only the relationships of pure colors; it does not take color lightness and saturation into account.
The current form of color theory was developed by Johannes Itten, a Swiss color and art theorist who was teaching at the School of Applied Arts in Weimar, Germany.

When these cartilages and muscles are positioned with just the right positions and tensions, air passing from the windpipe will cause some of the laryngeal tissues to vibrate in the breeze.
Thus, the gestures leave their "signatures" in the sound that escapes the mouth, corresponding to the changing resonances of the vocal tract.
There is nothing "magic" about the biological tissue used for filtering in the case of speech.

The output of each of these filters is then passed through another op amp which acts as a buffer between the filter and your main amp.
Note that the 'filter block' after these points is identical to the one preceeding them.
Cascading these (or any buffered) identical filters does not change the center (cut-off) freq, but it DOES change the Q. Multiply the Q of the first section by the Q of the second.

 Google Sandbox Effect Filter. Theory & Explanation Article
One theory concerning the Google Sandbox is that it effectively extends the normal backlink ageing process, meaning that acquired backlinks offer reduced benefit for an extended period of time until the trustworthiness of the new website has been established by Google.
The effect of the Sandbox filter is to reduce the ranking of some new web domains, making it very difficult for them to compete in the Google search engine results (SERPS) even for remotely competitive keywords for periods of up to 12 months (maximum).
The Google Sandbox filter is like a probationary period for a website which typically lasts up to 12 months.

 Sequential Monte Carlo methods in filter theory   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The particle filter is seen to cover a number of independently proposed, but related, filters, dating back to the SIR filter of Gordon, Salmond and Smith (1993).
All these particle filters approach the filtering problem from a sampling perspective, with the aim being to generate a random sample from the true posterior distribution.
It is also shown that the application of the particle filter to certain types of problems naturally leads to a filter similar to, but more efficient than, the random sampling algorithm of Akashi and Kumamoto (1977).

 Linear Kalman Filter Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Kalman Filter uses the assumptions that process and measurement may be inaccurate due to Gaussian distributions of noise to iteratively create a Least Squares Estimate of the true state from the states previously encountered.
The filter tends to function better with a rising signal to noise ratio and is easily applied to a multitude of dynamic systems due to its flexibility and ease of implementation.
The purpose of these gains is the compensate for the errors that are introduced in the dynamic process, using the previous state estimate and measurement.

The filter is optimal in the sense that it suppresses the natural variability or{open_quotes}noise{close_quotes} relative to the forced part or{open_quotes}signal{close_quotes} to the maximum extent possible.
The optimal filter does not depend on the strength of the assumed waveform used in its construction.

Here at UNC we are using an Kalman filters and related estimators to track users' heads and limbs in virtual environments.
The kalman filter has been used extensively for data fusion in navigation, but Joost van Lawick shows an example of scene modeling with an extended Kalman filter.
For example, he is investigating the use of filters (including the Kalman filter) on short non-stationary econometric data sequences to extract such components as the trends and seasonal fluctuations.

 My Google Filter Theory :: SearchGuild.com
The reason stemming is dominant in my theory is because it's a big change and it's common for Google to make sure people know about such things.
In this theory I present these minor problems, not as issues in themselves, but as evidence that work has likely been done and not very well done at that.
What is beyond doubt from my research on this theory is that Google is indeed using stemming, it is poorly implemented, and it can degrade results by trying to second guess what we want (as in the quit smoke example).
