Boll, Steven F. | Application of the saber method for improved spectral analysis of noisy speech | A stand alone noise suppression algorithm is described for reducing the spectral effects of acoustically added noise in speech. A fundamental result is developed which shows that the spectral magnitude of speech plus noise can be effectively approximated as the sum of magnitudes of speech and noise.... | Noise suppression algorithm; SABER method | 1977 |

Lindstrom, Gary E. | Efficiency in nondeterministic control through non-forgetful backtracking | Nondeterministic (ND) control has long been used to express elegant solutions to complex search problems. Programs using ND control can be executed on conventional machines through a systematic examination of trial execution paths. Among the many approaches to the enumeration of these paths is backt... | Nondeterministic control; Non-forgetful backtracking; Search problems | 1977 |

Keller, Robert M. | Semantics of parallel program graphs | A denotational model for networks of parallel processes is presented which generalizes the work of Kahn by using alternative data types, e.g. Lisp-like operators on trees. It is shown that the ordering aspect of data types plays a central role in determining how much parallelism can be present.

Lindstrom, Gary E. | Backtracking in generalized control settings | Backtracking is a powerful conceptual and practical technique in programming. However, its application in general has been limited to global control over recursive programs.

Davis, Alan L. | Data driven nets: a maximally concurrent, procedural, parallel process representation for distributed control systems | A procedural parallel process representation, known as data-driven nets is described. The sequencing mechanism of the data-driven representation is based on the principle of data dependency.

Keller, Robert M.; Lindstrom, Gary E. | An architecture for a loosely-coupled parallel processor | An architecture for a large (e. g. 1000 processor) parallel computer is presented. The processors are loosely-coupled, in the sense that communication among them is fully asynchronous, and each processor is generally not unduly delayed by any immediate need for specific data values.

Keller, Robert M. | An approach to determinacy proofs | It is known that any parallel program graph composed of continuous operators itself represents a continuous function. In other words, the network is determinate in the sense that for a given input, the output is unique, independent of the timing of the constituent operators.

Boll, Steven F. | Suppression of acoustic noise in speech using two microphone adaptive noise cancellation | Acoustic noise with energy greater or equal to the speech is suppressed by filtering a separately recorded correlated noise signal and subtracting it from the speech waveform.
