February 2009-
The number of consumer audio applications demanding high-quality audio compression and communication across wireless networks continues to grow. Although the consumer is increasingly demanding higher audio quality, devices such as portable media players and wireless headsets also demand low computational complexity, low power dissipation, and practical transmission bit-rates to help conserve battery life. This paper discusses research undertaken to lower the complexity of existing high-quality sub-band ADPCM coding schemes to better satisfy these conflicting criteria.

The system utilizes an adaptation of the personal, mobile data collection and annotation platform, known as PMobile, developed at the MIT Media Lab. The purpose of this is to present a journal-based system that provides a way for users to reconstruct their emotions around events in their lives, and to see how recall of these events affects their physiology. The architecture consists of three layers. The first is the sensor layer, consisting of a Fitsense ...
