Powertrain Design Tools:

State of the art design tools in automotive engineering still lack the power, sophistication, and automation of design tools for the electronics industry. It is our goal to fundamentally advance automotive design engineering by introducing optimization and physics-based design principles into standard industry design tools. This will allow designers to globally optimize design criteria such as size, efficiency, cost, weight, volume, and achieve unprecedented reductions in design turnaround time.

Our first step will be to implement a basic design system using a combination of industry-standard tools.

What's New:

• Java Applet: We have extended our popular pattern recognition applet to include our first implementation of an emerging techniques in nonlinear time series modeling known as particle filtering.
  
  
• Speech Recognition Software: Learn more about our Hidden Markov model-based recognition system and our online tutorials.
  
  
• Speech Recognition Course: A graduate-level course in speech recognition.
