Dissociated press is a parody generator (a computer program that generates nonsensical text). The generated text is based on another text using the Markov chain technique. The name is a play on "Associated Press" and the psychological term dissociation (although word salad is more typical of conditions like aphasia and schizophrenia – which is, however, frequently confused with dissociative ...
Wave power is the capture of energy of wind waves to do useful work – for example, electricity generation, desalination, or pumping water. A machine that exploits wave power is a wave energy converter (WEC). Waves are generated primarily by wind passing over the sea's surface and also by tidal forces, temperature variations, and other factors.
Oscillating water columns (OWCs) are a type of wave energy converter [1] that harness energy from the oscillation of the seawater inside a chamber or hollow caused by the action of waves. OWCs have shown promise as a renewable energy source with low environmental impact.
In May 2010, the wave energy generator snapped from its mooring lines in extreme seas and sank on Port Kembla's eastern breakwater. [120] A 1 MW "GreenWave" prototype was constructed in Port Adelaide, intended to be installed in Port MacDonnell some 450 kilometres (280 mi) south-east. However, during transport in March 2014, rough seas caused ...
WaveNet is a deep neural network for generating raw audio. It was created by researchers at London-based AI firm DeepMind.The technique, outlined in a paper in September 2016, [1] is able to generate relatively realistic-sounding human-like voices by directly modelling waveforms using a neural network method trained with recordings of real speech.
In laser physics and engineering, "continuous wave" or "CW" refers to a laser that produces a continuous output beam, sometimes referred to as "free-running," as opposed to a q-switched, gain-switched or modelocked laser, which has a pulsed output beam. The continuous wave semiconductor laser was invented by Japanese physicist Izuo Hayashi in 1970.
In May 2010 it broke free of its moorings and sank at the bottom of Port Kembla's eastern breakwater. Plans to remove the generator were delayed by years, exacerbated by the company entering receivership in April 2014. In December 2011, the Kilpatrick Group was engaged to remove the wave generator.
A completely different approach to function generation is to use software instructions to generate a waveform, with provision for output. For example, a general-purpose digital computer can be used to generate the waveform; if frequency range and amplitude are acceptable, the sound card fitted to most computers can be used to output the generated wave.
