1. INTRODUCTION The ability of hearing people talks can only be achieved by deploying acoustic sensors closely around the target individuals. It costs a lot and has a limited sensing and communication range. Further, it has detection delay because the sensor must first record the sound and process it, then transmit it to the receiver. In addition, it cannot be decoded when the surrounding is too noisy. The potential of using Wi-Fi signals to hear people talk and transmit the talking information to the detector at the same time can be achieved. 2. LITERATURE SURVEY 2.1 THE RELATED RESEARCHES 2.1.2 Wireless-based motion detection and tracking: Wi-Hear builds upon recent research that leverages radio reflections from human bodies to detect, track, and recognize motions. Wi-Vi initializes through-wall motion imaging using MIMO nulling. Wi-Track implemented an FMCW 3D motion tracking system at the granularity of 10 cm. Wi-See recognizes gestures via Doppler shifts. All-See achieves low-power gesture recognition on customized RFID tags. Adopting a similar principle, Wi Hear extracts and interprets reflected signals, yet differs in that Wi-Hear targets at finer-grained motions from lips and tongue. Since the micro motions of the mouth produce negligible Doppler shifts and amplitude fluctuations. It exploits beam forming techniques and …show more content…
In Wi-Hear, the motion of mouth when pronouncing some syllables shares a lot in common which makes them difficult to be distinguished. By applying discrete wavelet packet transform to the original signals, it can figure out the tiny difference which is beneficial for the classification process. First comes discrete wavelet transform (DWT). As with the Fourier transform, where the signal is decomposed into linear combination of the basis if the signal is in the space spanned by the basis, wavelet decomposition also decomposes a signal to a combination of a series of expansion
Wireless technology is used for data transmission. Wireless technology carries a particular information from one place to another. Examples of wireless technologies are a remote control because while you’re using it, it sends control commands information to your TV making you want to change the channel or record a particular programme. Another example of wireless technology is a wireless sound system because it sends audio information to speakers and headphones. Bluetooth is a wireless technology used for the exchanging of data over short distances.
Prior to reading these chapters I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I have never really been exposed to the Deaf- World. I have watched shows such as Switched at Birth, but I know that it doesn’t completely portray the real Deaf- Community. I was extremely interested in seeing their side of the story and gaining insight on the life they live. I decided to read chapters one, and two.
EVAS, he experiences irregular shifts in his hearing ability so monitoring his audiogram is vital for effective communication, so one service that needs to be added is regular audiological evaluations when a change in hearing is suspected or at least monthly. The acoustics of classrooms and other learning environments can significantly alter how Sam has access to spoken language. So the audiological evaluations need to include at minimum an aided audiogram and evaluation of personal amplification (hearing aides) and educational modification (FM unit). My preference for this type of evaluation is for an ASHA certified Educational Audiologist. This should be completed whenever there is a documented change in hearing or any changes in seating
“The Selma of the Deaf:” A Historical Analysis In the words of Maya Angelou, “history, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.” This statement is rich, as it discusses an emotional of experience, which cannot be emulated by ‘textbook-history’, but also mentions one of the most commonly perceived purposes of ‘textbook-history’: that history ought to be studied and preserved for the benefit of mankind in order to avoid repeating past mistakes. This is a valid reason; however, history is also a valuable format for teaching about the human condition, cultivating an appreciation and understanding of the present, and analyzing patterns to better predict the future. Essentially, history
The Doppler Effect says that there is an apparent change in received frequency due to relative motion between a sound source and sound
Inside Deaf Culture Inside deaf culture is a very strong book written by carol Padden and tom Humphries in this book authors have tried to give a tour of the most important moments that has shaped the Deaf culture. Book starts by showing how much power hearing people have had over the deaf population in the past and how they saw death people almost the same as criminals and also how they tried to get rid of them by placing them into asylums and intuitions and how this was a beginning of first schools for the deaf and how much power and control they had over the children under their care also there was a lot of rumors of how children were molested in these schools and because they
Kuali’i’s job was to take the interviews and clean them up, removing things like um and ahs, and ready the segment for a live broadcast. Now, as a senior, Kuali’i is taking Linguistic 453,which is a Hawaiian Phonetics and Phonology class, taught solely in Hawaiian. In this class they learn to understand the sound system of the Hawaiian Language, as well as stylistic and regional variation, all using the program Audacity. Kuali’i’s prior knowledge with the program has helped her become successful in this class. Eventually, she hopes to be able to tell what um 's and ah’s look like on wave lengths, like many of her peers at IRR.
According to Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, “Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and million other things.” I think basically culture expresses the ways we live. Every region, every family and everyone has their own culture. For example, people usually call “Western Culture,” “Eastern Culture,” “Latin Culture,” or “African Culture” etc. Therefore, with Deaf people, they also have their own culture, which is Deaf Culture.
Individuals, who suffer from any type of disabilities, sadly live a different life due the societal stigma attached to it. The film When Billy Broke His Head and the reading Deaf Matters Compulsory Hearing and Ability Trouble both illustrate the hardships and struggles disabled individuals go through as a result of stereotypical misconceptions created by the media and the larger society. Firstly, exemplified in the media through a portrayal of disheartened characteristics like constant anger and bitterness about life, a misconception of an unapproachable individual starts to become produced. Through a continuous loop of negative illustrations of disability, an unawareness and lack of knowledge about certain disabilities, a stigma of this unfamiliar

“When They Sound the Last All Clear” is a song written by Vera Lynn. This song was written in 1941. Vera Lynn wrote many very famous songs in England and all of her songs were very famous and popular during the WWII era. Vera was born in 1917 and is still living today. She turned 99 years old on March 20.
The Cambridge University Dictionary defines the word culture as “the way of life of a particular people, especially shown in their ordinary behavior and habits, their attitudes towards each other, and their moral and religious beliefs.” The Deaf culture is just that! A group of individuals that, just like every other culture, has its protocol, rules of conduct, behavioral norms, language, political agendas, experiences, values, traditions and beliefs. It also includes social communication, art, entertainment and fun. Every culture has its beauty, and the Deaf culture isn’t an exception.
Garrit and Oetting are both prominent Speech Language Pathologists and have been recognized by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association. The authors work in the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. The article was trustworthy because of its substantial
Is it morally permissible for a deaf couple to select for a deaf child? Would it be acceptable if the preimplantation genetic diagnosis provides the opportunity and hearing impaired parents choose to have a child with hearing disability? Some people draw parallels with intentionally harming a baby, e.g. depriving the child of his/her hearing sense . Thus, they say, it is unethical. Some people argue that by choosing the child with disability it harms the society .
We went from having runners, homing pigeons, smoke signals, Morse code, Pony Express, telegraph, Hush-a-Phone, Ethernet to Wi-Fi. With the progress of Information and Communication Technology, we no longer have to wait for several days or even months to receive a message from the other side of the world but now all this has changed. Thanks to the internet with few clicks we can now talk and see people using simple software and devices that fit our pocket. Sending text messages or instant messages in the comfort of our house or anywhere we want. You can easily share pictures, videos or even broadcast live video on your private social media account on which your selected group of people can comment.
