Handwriting authentication by envelopes of sound signature (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Li, F. (2004, August). Handwriting authentication by envelopes of sound signature. Presented at 17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2004. ICPR 2004., Cambridge, United Kingdom

Frictions between a rigid-nib pen and paper result in audible sounds that are correlated with the dynamics of writing. Such writing-sounds were previously used as a biometric identity to achieve writer authentication. This paper presents an alternati...

Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L. (2004, August). Making do - the eighth category of waste. Presented at 12th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Helsingor, Denmark

The seminal authors on the Toyota Production System present a list of seven wastes. Even if many subsequent authors have suggested additions to this list, it is usually presented in its original form. This paper contends that there is a very common,...

Response of multiple rigid porous layers to high levels of continuous acoustic excitation (2004)
Journal Article
Umnova, O., Attenborough, K., Shin, H., & Cummings, A. (2004). Response of multiple rigid porous layers to high levels of continuous acoustic excitation. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.1766051

A model has been developed for the response of a rigid-porous hard-backed medium containing an arbitrary number of layers to high amplitude sound. Nonlinearity is introduced by means of a velocity-dependent flow resistivity in Johnson's equivalent fl...
