Abstract: An integrated situational awareness system is provided. The system includes an interactive media system having an operator interface, a decision-maker interface, and a correlation system in electronic communication with the interactive media system. The correlation system receives, processes, and integrates data received from a plurality of data sources. The interactive media system and correlation system cooperatively function to enable an operator using the operator interface to initiate a plurality of pre-programmed processes that run until the correlation system detects a pre-specified trigger event. In response to an occurrence of the pre-specified trigger event, the correlation system causes a report to be presented via the interactive media system.

Abstract: A method of singing voice synthesis uses commercially-available MIDI-based music composition software as a user interface (13). The user specifies a musical score and lyrics; as well as other music control parameters. The control information is stored in a MIDI file (11). Based on the input to the MIDI file (11) the system selects synthesis model parameters from an inventory (15) of linguistic voice data units. The units are selected and concatenated in a linguistic processor (17). The units are smoothed in the processing and are modified according to the music control parameters in musical processor (19) to modify the pitch, duration, and spectral characteristics of the concatenated voice units as specified by the musical score. The output waveform is synthesized using a sinusoidal model 20.
