Prosody, particularly accent, aids comprehension by drawing attention to important elements such as the information that answers a question. A study using ERP registration investigated how the brain deals with the interpretation of prosodic prominence. Sentences were embedded in short dialogues and contained accented elements that were congruous or incongruous with respect to a preceding question. In contrast to previous studies, no explicit prosodic judgment task was added. Robust effects of accentuation were evident in the form of an “accent positivity” (200–500 msec) for accented elements irrespective of their congruity. Our results show that incongruously accented elements, that is, superfluous accents, activate a specific set of neural systems that is inactive in case of incongruously unaccented elements, that is, missing accents. Superfluous accents triggered an early positivity around 100 msec poststimulus, followed by a right-lateralized negative effect (N400). This response suggests that redundant information is identified immediately and leads to the activation of a neural system that is associated with semantic processing (N400). No such effects were found when contextually expected accents were missing. In a later time window, both missing and superfluous accents triggered a late positivity on midline electrodes, presumably related to making sense of both kinds of mismatching stimuli. These results challenge previous findings of greater processing for missing accents and suggest that the natural processing of prosody involves a set of distinct, temporally organized neural systems.

The parsing of undifferentiated tone sequences into groups of qualitatively distinct elements is one of the earliest rhythmic phenomena to have been investigated experimentally (Bolton, 1894). The present study aimed to replicate and extend these findings through online experimentation using a spontaneous grouping paradigm with forced-choice response (from 1 to 12 tones per group). Two types of isochronous sequences were used: equitone sequences, which varied only with respect to signal rate (200, 550, or 950 ms interonset intervals), and accented sequences, in which accents were added every two or three tones to test the effect of induced grouping (duple vs. triple) and accent type (intensity, duration, or pitch). In equitone sequences, participants’ grouping percepts (N = 4,194) were asymmetrical and tempo-dependent, with “no grouping” and groups of four being most frequently reported. In accented sequences, slower rate, induced triple grouping, and intensity accents correlated with increases in group length. Furthermore, the probability of observing a mixed metric type—that is, grouping percepts divisible by both two and three (6 and 12)—was found to be highest in faster sequences with induced triple grouping. These findings suggest that lower-level triple grouping gives rise to binary grouping percepts at higher metrical levels.

Full textAbstract:
Automatic Accent Insertion (AAI) is the problem of re-inserting accents (diacritics) into a text where they are missing. Unaccented French texts are still quite common in electronic media, as a result of a long history of character encoding problems and the lack of well-established conventions for typing accented characters on computer keyboards. An AAI method for French is presented, based on a statistical language model. Next, it is shown how this AAI method can be used to do real-time accent insertions within a word processing environment, making it possible to type in French without having to type accents. Various mechanisms are proposed to improve the performance of real-time AAI, by exploiting online corrections made by the user. Experiments show that, on average, such a system produces less than one accentuation error for every 200 words typed.

The article states that the identification of features of the psychological and social portrait of the criminal personality allows us to identify important accents of the behavioral characteristics of the suspect, which will contribute to the effectiveness of the preparation and conduct of forensic activities. The authors of the article substantiate that criminology with the help of criminalistics identifies and describes a certain set of typological socially significant and psychological properties, personality qualities that determine the initiation of illegal behavior, which is implemented when committing an act of bribery. The article highlights the factors that affect the style of behavior of a person during a search at the investigation of the act of giving a bribe, and also formulates provisions based on the correct interpretation of the behavior of a bribe taker. The authors analyze the fundamental recommendations in the research area, which are supported by multiple practical and operational experience, which allows us to obtain positive results when analyzing the behavior of a person during a search necessary to investigate the commission of bribery. The main conclusion is that in order to correctly plan the sequence of actions criminalistically, it is important to delve deeply into the criminological aspects of psychology and features of the analysis of specific criminal behavior, taking into account the affectology of reactions and character accentuations.

This paper offers a new explanation for the barytone and oxytone accents attested for the Vedic -ti-stems. The two accents are commonly taken to derive from separate reflexes of a once unified proterokinetic paradigm, and it is against this account I will propose the divergence is instead chronological: oxytones belong to the oldest layer of the Vedas, barytones to the younger. The diachronic change we observe occurs within the Vedic period, and is localized to the accentual properties associated with the suffix -ti-. Our philological analysis of the -ti-stems across Vedic texts will support the “compositional approach” championed recently by Kiparsky (2010) and Kümmel (2014) against previous approaches. Finally, I will suggest answers to the question of how the accentual properties of -ti- changed based on recent research into the lexical phonology of accent systems.

The article analyses the dialectal material collected in the area of the West Aukštaitian of the Kaunas subdialect in the written sources of the 1950s and 1960s at the Dialect Archive of the Geolinguistic Centre of the Institute of the Lithuanian Language. Based on the data in written sources the goal is to describe the peculiarities of the accentuation of the West Aukštaitian adjectives of this period and to discuss the tendencies of their accentuation. The stress of the singular forms of the disyllabic u-stem adjectives of the masculine gender may have come down from old times. Maintaining the root accent of these forms is related to the forms the neuter gender of the stressed stem (suñku, šviẽsu) and the adjectives of the old o-stem (suñkas : suñkus).The pronunciation of polysyllabic adjectives in the West Aukštaitian subdialect of Kaunas is characterized by different accent tendencies. The accentuation of the derivatives with the suffix -inis, -ė varies most of the polysyllabic adjectives analysed in the article. More than a third of them are accented by two accentual paradigms – they have accentual parallel forms of the first and second accent paradigms. The accentuation of the derivatives with the suffixes -inis, -ė is only partly related to the accentuation of the root words. The accentuation of the adjectives discussed in the researched subdialects tends to be generalized by the second accent paradigm. The derivatives with the suffixes -ėtas, -a regardless of the accentuation of the root words, are usually accented by the second accent paradigm, cf. molétas, -a (: mólis 1), pūslétas, -a (: pūslẽ 4). Only the accent of the derivatives with the suffixes -uotas, -a can be linked to the accentuation status of the root words, cf. langúotas, -a (: lángas 3).The author of the article is of the opinion that the accentual variance of parallel derivatives with suffixes could have been determined not by one factor, but by a set of factors. The appearance of accentual variants is linked to semantics, the accentual and semantic model of two plurals and the accentual variance of the root words and is explained by the stress analogy of the same type of word formation.

Full textAbstract:
In order to account for the accentual and rhythmical structure of English, a binary-branching prosodic constituent structur is assumed, in which minimally the syllable and the foot must be headed. Feet are potentially marked as accented. This representation makes it possible to describe the prominence patterns of word groups as resulting from three accent deletion rules, the Compound Rule, the Initial Accent Deletion Rule and the Rhythm Rule. It was shown that the structural change effected by Initial Accent Deletion cannot be expressed in theories which represent stress as a relative concept. Moreover, this rule, which like the Compound rule is a lexical rule, provided evidence for the existence of a stratum in the lexical phonology of English in which compounding and so-called ClassII derivation take place. The Rhythm Rule is a postlexical rule, which was shown to apply to the output of the other two rules. Without the aid of any conditions or constraints, it accounted effortlessly for the stress-shift data presented in the recent literature. It could moreover be shown that apparent cases of stress shift in unaccented speech (in which the Rhythm Rule does not apply) should not in fact be viewed as the output of any stress-shift rule at all, but should be explained as the effect of preboundary lengthening as applying to the different constituents in the prosodic hierarchy. It was argued that an analysis of sentence accentuation whereby focused constituents have to be assigned accents can run into problems that do not exist in a ‘deaccenting’ analysis, in which nonfocused constituents are deprived of their accents. Finally, it was argued that English, unlike Dutch, lacks phonological rules that refer to primary word stress, and that, at best, primary stress may reveal itself in low-level timing distinctions.

Full textAbstract:
Human rhythmic movements spontaneously synchronize with auditory rhythms at various frequency ratios. The emergence of more complex relationships—for instance, frequency ratios of 1:2 and 1:3—is enhanced by adding a congruent accentuation pattern (binary for 1:2 and ternary for 1:3), resulting in a 1:1 movement–accentuation relationship. However, this benefit of accentuation on movement synchronization appears to be stronger for the ternary pattern than for the binary pattern. Here, we investigated whether this difference in accent-induced movement synchronization may be related to a difference in the neural tracking of these accentuation profiles. Accented and control unaccented auditory sequences were presented to participants who concurrently produced finger taps at their preferred frequency, and spontaneous movement synchronization was measured. EEG was recorded during passive listening to each auditory sequence. The results revealed that enhanced movement synchronization with ternary accentuation was accompanied by enhanced neural tracking of this pattern. Larger EEG responses at the accentuation frequency were found for the ternary pattern compared with the binary pattern. Moreover, the amplitude of accent-induced EEG responses was positively correlated with the magnitude of accent-induced movement synchronization across participants. Altogether, these findings show that the dynamics of spontaneous auditory–motor synchronization is strongly driven by the multi-time-scale sensory processing of auditory rhythms, highlighting the importance of considering neural responses to rhythmic sequences for understanding and enhancing synchronization performance.

SUMMARY From a diachronic point of view, the study of Basque accentuation presents the problem of accounting for the very different accentual systems that are found nowadays within the Basque-speaking territory. Whereas in a large central area there is no contrastive word accent, systems with phonologically distinctive accentuation are found both in eastern and western regions. The accentual systems of some western varieties are especially complex and are shown to rely on an opposition between accented or preaccenting and unaccented morphemes. In this paper, it is argued that all present-day accentual systems can be derived from an earlier common stage lacking contrastive accentuation and, in particular, that the western system arose as a result of a rule of compound accentuation; contrastive accent being reinforced by the adoption of large numbers of Latin and Romance loanwords with their original accentual pattern. RÉSUMÉ Du point de vue diachronique, l'étude de l'accent de la langue basque a pour objet de rendre compte de la diversité des systèmes actuels existant aujourd'hui au pays basque. Alors que dans la plus grande partie de ce dernier il n'y a pas d'accent contrastif, les parler occidentaux et orientaux offrent des systèmes où l'accent de mot est phonologiquement distinctif. Particulièrement complexes, les systèmes accentuels de certains parlers occidentaux se fondent sur une distinction entre morphèmes accentués ou préaccentuants et morphèmes inaccentués. On soutient que tous les systèmes accentuels du basque peuvent venir d'un état commun antérieur sans accent contrastif, et que le système occidental en particulier résulte de l'accentuation des composés, renforcée par l'adoption d'une grande quantité d'emprunts latins et romans avec leur accentuation originelle. ZUSAMENFASSUNG Aus diakronischer Sicht bringt das Studium des baskischen Akzents das Problem mit sich, die ziemlich verschiedenen Akzentuierungssysteme, die man heutzutage innerhalb des Baskisch-sprechenden Gebiets vorfindet, zu erklären. Während es nämlich im Zentalgebiet keinen kontrastiven Wortakzent gibt, trifft man sowohl in den östlichen als auch in den westlichen Gebieten Systeme an, die eine phonologisch distinktive Akzentuation kennen. Die Akzentsysteme ei-niger westlicher Varietäten sind besonders komplex und erweisen sich als sol-che, die auf einer Opposition zwischen akzentuierten oder vorakzentuierten und unbetonten Morphemen beruhen. Im vorliegenden Aufsatz wird die Behaup-tung aufgestellt, daß alle gegenwärtigen Akzentsysteme von einem friiheren gemeinsamen Stadium abgeleitet werden konnen, die noch ohne kontrastiven Akzent war, und daß insbesondere die westlichen Systeme sich aus einer Regel der Akzentuierung zusammengesetzter Wörter herleiten und daß der kontrastive Akzent durch die Hineinnahme einer großen Anzahl lateinischer und roma-nischer Lehnwörter zusammen mit ihrem ursprunglichen Akzentmustern ver-starkt worden sei.

Full textAbstract:
This paper adduces evidence for and attempts to phonologically motivate a pattern of descriptive “retraction” of surface word accent in the Anatolian languages. It is proposed that the innovative accentual peak ( ictus ) in the relevant forms is due to Anatolian Default Accentuation , which applies when no constituent morpheme in a prosodic word is lexically specified as accented and assigns ictus to its leftmost syllable. Diachronic prosodic change is shown to result from the interaction of various morphophonological developments and the stable operation of this default accentual principle, whose effects in Hittite, Palaic, and Luwian require its reconstruction for Proto-Anatolian. Furthermore, the Anatolian evidence is argued to support Kiparsky and Halle’s (1977) reconstruction of the same default principle for Proto-Indo-European on the basis of Vedic Sanskrit and Balto-Slavic evidence.

L'objectif de cette thèse est l'étude contrastive de certains aspects du rythme (accentuation, variation temporelle, intonation) du coréen par rapport à ceux du français, et ce, dans la parole lue et dans la parole spontanée. Dans une première partie, une étude préliminaire a été menée à partir d'un corpus de phrases lues, afin de décrire la réalisation des différents accents, accent de groupe et accent de focalisation et de contraste. Les résultats de cette étude sont les suivants: - les deux langues partagent les mêmes profils temporels et intonatifs qui reflètent l'accent de groupe: on observe une congruence entre syntaxe et prosodie; - par contre les structures prosodiques sont distinctes quant à la réalisation de l'accent focal et de contraste. Cette différence est encore plus visible dans le corpus de français produit par la locutrice coréenne, chez qui on note une interférence de la prosodie de la langue maternelle sur celle de la langue cible. A partir des résultats obtenus dans l'étude préliminaire, nous nous proposons de consacrer la seconde et majeure partie de la thèse à l'étude de la réalisation acoustique et perceptive de différentes catégories accentuelles (accent de groupe et accent régulateur rythmique), autour de l'accent focal, dans les deux langues, et ceci dans un corpus de parole lue et spontanée. Plus particulièrement, les variations des durées sont méthodiquement analysées an niveau des différents domaines prosodiques (des segments phonétiques aux énoncés en passant par les syllabes, les groupes rythmiques et les séquences rythmiques). L'influence des accents sur les profils temporels y est également évaluée. Un des résultats qu'il convient de retenir est celui du rôle crucial de l'accent focal dans l'organisation rythmique du spontanéThe goal of this thesis is to present a comparative study of some aspects of rhythm (emphasis, duration, intonation) of the Korean language, as compared to these of French, and this, in the read speech and in the spontaneous speech. In the first part of this thesis, a preliminary study accounting for data of read sentences, so as to describe the realization of the different accents, the group accent and the accent of focalisation and of contrast. Results of this study are as followed : - the two languages share the same temporal and melodic patterns reflecting the group accent : one observes a congruency between syntax and prosody ; - on the other hand the prosodic structures are distinct as for the realization of the focal accent and the accent of contrast. This difference is again more visible in a corpus of French produced by a Korean speaker, at that one notes an interference of the mother tongue prosody on that of the language targets. From the results obtained in the preliminary study, we plan to develop the second and major part of the thesis to the study, in the two languages, of the perceptive and acoustic realizations of different accents (group accent and rhythmical accent) around the focal accent, in spontaneous speech, as compared to its read text. More particularly, variations of duration are methodically analysed to different prognostic levels (of phonetic segments in statements by passing by syllables, rhythmical groups and rhythmical sequences). The influence of the analysed accents on temporal profiles is equally evaluated. One of the main results to observe is the important role of the focal accent in the rhythmical organization of spontaneous speech

L'ouvrage traite des connexions entre la langue anglaise et la musique au niveau des éléments de l'accent. Des analyses portent sur l'organisation prosodique des unités phonétiques dans la musique vocale afin de dégager des structures hiérarchiques communes. Le corpus est constitué d'extraits des oeuvres musicales suivantes : Peter Grimes, The Rake's Progress, West Side Story et The Phantom of the Opera. Des analyses statistiques montrent que, dans un contexte phonémique identique, la corrélation des paramètres acoustiques de la voix chantée et parlée montre une organisation conjointe. De plus, la distribution acoustique des voyelles pleines et réduites est différente dans les deux contextes. Les résultats des tests psycho-acoustiques, utilisant une voix synthétisée par ordinateur, permettent de réfuter l'hypothèse nulle selon laquelle la perception de la matière linguistique dans un contexte musical est indépendante de la configuration du schéma accentuel et de l'intervalle mélodiqueThis work examines the connections between English and music at an accentual level. The study develops analyses of the prosodic organisation of phonetic units in vocal music to reveal common hierarchical structures. .

Full textAbstract:
La langue française utilise, dans sa forme écrite, des accents : aigus, graves et circonflexes. Ces petites marques graphiques ont connu de nombreuses péripéties avant de s'imposer dans notre orthographe. Elles ont occupé des emplois divers, inspirés de leur usage chez les grammairiens grecs et latins. Puis l'Académie française les a progressivement intégrées dans ses Dictionnaires et chacune d'elles s'est vue attribuer un ou plusieurs rôles spécifiques. Or, à notre époque, les accents semblent en voie de disparition non seulement dans l'écriture manuscrite mais également sur les imprimés ou les écrans. L'auteur de ce travail a voulu essayer de comprendre pourquoi les accents étaient négligés, oubliés, déformés. Il constate que de nombreux Français ressentent un réel attachement pour ces signes qui, tout en conservant un rôle phonogrammique souvent important, sont aussi des traces du passé qui nous racontent la longue aventure d'un motThe French language uses, in its written shape, acute, grave and circumflex accents. These small graphic symbols knew numerous events before prevailing in our spelling. They occupied different uses, inspired by their usage with Greek and Latin grammarians. Then the French Academy gradually integrated them into its dictionaries and each of them was attributed one or several specific roles. Nowadays, accents seem to be in the process of disappearance, not only in handwriting but also on printed documents or screens. The author of this work wanted to try to understand why accents were neglected, forgotten or deformed. He notices that French people have a real affection for these signs which, while preserving an important phonetic role, are also remnants that tell us the long adventure of a word

Cette etude propose une explication systematique de l'emploi des outils prosodiques italiens. Nous verifions la logique interne de l'actuel systeme italien et nous montrons que l'etat de son fonctionnement s'insere dans la suite logique des autres modes de fonctionnement qui l'ont precede (italique, latin). Nous mettons en parallele l'evolution de la construction du mot de l'indo-europeen aux langues romanes et l'evolution de la position, de la nature et du role de l'accent. Cette confrontation souligne les deplacements similaires et conjugues de la frontiere semantique et de la position de l'accent. Elle met aussi en evidence l'inter-dependance, d'une part, de l'apparition de la gemination et de la diphtongaison avec l'heterogeneite des com posants du mot (elements semantiques et morphologiques), et d'autre part, de la dis parition de tels phenomenes avec l'homogeneite des composants du mot (elts. Sem. Uni quement). L'italien, en raison du caractere heterogene de ses mots, utilise des outils (accent, gem. , dipht. ) pour en faciliter la lecture analytique; d'ou l'importance de la regularite de la structure syllabique pour cette langue. L'etablissement d'un parallele entre les modeles constructifs mot phrase et accent intonation, nous permet de cerner les fonctions de ces derniers. L'etude de trois corpus italiens con firme l'hypothese theorique du role de l'accent :il a pour but la mise en valeur du sens. Tout au long de notre travail, nous avons decele un rapport de cause a effet entre la nature et la fonction des divers phenomenes etudies. Nous discutons donc la notion d'arbitraire du signe, et relions fonction et nature de l'accentOur study aims to understand and to explain the use of the italian prosodic system according to the systematic method. We verify the internal logic of the contemporary italian prosodic system and show that its present function fits into a logical series with other gfunctional models which have preceded it (italic, latin). We paralleled the evolution of 1) word construction with 2) the position, nature and function of stress. It also shows the interdependence 1) of the emergence of the geminate and the diphthong with the heterogeneity of the word componants (i. E. Semantic and morphologic elements) 2) of the disappearance of this phenemenon with the homogeneity of the componants (only semantic elements). Italian, because of the heterogeneous nature of its words, uses tools (i. E. Stress, gem. , diphth. ) to facilitate the analytic reading of its words; therefore, the importance of the regularity of its syllabic structure. The establishment of a parallel betweenconstructive model i. E. Word sentence and accent intonation, permis us to define the function of thelatter. The study of three corpora in italian confirmsthe theorical hypothesis of the function of stress : to emphasize the sense. During our study we observed a causal relationship between the nature and the function of the various phenomena studied. So, we dispute the notion of the arbitrary sign and we link the study of the function to the study of the nature of stress

L'objectif principal de ce travail est d'examiner les capacités de perception et de compréhension des francophones lorsqu'ils sont confrontés aux différentes variétés régionales de l'anglais britannique. Nous avons mené quatre expériences sous forme de tests de perceptions (expériences d'identification des accents et de compréhension). Les enregistrements que nous avons choisis, extraits du corpus IViE (Intonational Variation in English), incluent neuf accents. L'expérience d'identification des accents par région a démontré que les français ont plus de facilité à catégoriser les accents aux sonorités non-natives que les autres variétés. Les erreurs de compréhension concernaient les aspects présents dans la parole continue. Toutefois, les traits les plus caractéristiques de ces accents ont été difficiles à traiter. Ce travail souligne l'importance à prêter à ce type d'erreurs afin d'en faciliter la compréhension et ce, dans une perspective d'application didactique.

Cette recherche a pour but d'effectuer une interpretation des phenomenes d'accent, en shingazidja, un des parlers de l'archipel des comores, saisis par une description des donnees, puis par deux analyses phonologiques (structuraliste et metrique) et enfin, par l'analyse des variations de duree, de frequence fondamentale et d'intensite, dans le cadre particulier de la phase declarative. Dans les limites de ce travail, il apparait que la place de l'accent est predictible selon des regles phonologiques. L'analyse structuraliste genere la place de l'accent dans le mot, l'analyse metrique propose une hierarchie des accents dans la phrase. L'approche experimentale (en production et en perception) montre que l'accent n'est pas une propriete d'une syllabe, mais une relation entre syllabes: la relation tonique post-tonique semble privilegiee. Cette relation est fonction principalement de deux variables (toutes choses etant egales par ailleurs): la structure syntaxique de l'enonce (phenomene de joncture),la place de l'accent dans le mot (mot oxyton ou paroxyton). Enfin, ces resultats experimentaux tendent a confirmer les hypotheses au sujet de l'evolution de cette langue, anciennement tonale, devenue a accent.

Full textAbstract:
To some scholars, the Latin grammarians’ distinction between acute and circumflex accents for Latin has to be taken seriously. To others, it is a particularly clear example of absurdity inspired by Greek grammarians. Chapter 8 considers the evidence for this doctrine and shows that it has some intriguing characteristics brought out, in part, by grammarians’ discussions of accent mistakes and of the accentuation of Greek words used in Latin. The chapter goes on to argue that at an early stage of the Latin tradition on prosody, learned Romans made sense of the Greek distinction between acute and circumflex accents in such a way that they trained themselves to think they could hear a corresponding distinction in Latin.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 3 takes a look at Greek grammatical theory on prosody, and especially the area that was of most interest to the Latin grammarians: how a word’s accent can be affected by its context in connected speech. The Greek grammatical tradition provided a way of thinking about accents in terms of two levels of description: an abstract level at which each word had exactly one accent (its ‘natural’ or ‘own’ accent), and a concrete level at which each word had the correct accentuation for its context. The two levels were connected by a system of rules. The ‘natural’ accent was thus an abstract entity: it existed on the abstract level of the descriptive system, as a starting point for applying rules. The chapter introduces features of this descriptive system that will help to shed light on Latin discussions of the Latin accent.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 1 introduces the relationship between Greek and Latin discussions of prosody, beginning with exchanges of ideas that took place between figures such as Cicero, Varro, and the elder Tyrannio in the Rome of the first century BC. With reference to Quintilian’s work from the 90s AD, Chapter 1 then shows that the Greek and Latin traditions remained in close contact for a time. The chapter goes on to discuss how Latin authors from Quintilian onwards recognize both similarities and differences between Greek and Latin accentuation; a comparison is offered between a late antique introduction to Latin accents (from Donatus’ Ars maior) and a Greek text ultimately related in content. Chapter 1 concludes with a statement of the aims and structure of the book.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 4 considers the late antique evidence for a widespread doctrine of the Latin grammatical tradition: that prepositions, relative pronoun forms, and certain other words have an acute accent on their final syllables, in apparent violation of the usual principles of Latin accentuation. The doctrine belongs to a way of talking about the accentual behaviour of proclitic words: words that are normally pronounced without an accent and form a prosodic unit with what follows. An abstract acute accent is assigned to the final syllable so that this can undergo a rule ‘lulling’ an acute on a final syllable into a grave (non-accent) in connected speech. The lulling rule is borrowed from descriptions of Greek, but we see various efforts to adjust its details so as to avoid results that are not intended for Latin. We also see other ways of saying that proclitic words are normally pronounced without an accent.

Full textAbstract:
A microwave tip clearance sensor capable of measuring the hottest stages of industrial and aero gas turbines has been developed. This new microwave sensor has been integrated into a commercial package for online real-time monitoring of machine data. However, data analysis of large numbers of tip clearance probes makes standard industry graphic techniques cluttered. A method has been developed to reduce this data and visualize it in order to provide intuitive representations of the data from which a user can quickly draw the right conclusions about machine behavior. The main motivation for the development of a 3D graphical user interface is the density of information that can be shown to the user at one time. Tip clearance measurement is very data-rich, as every individual blade for each sensor mounted around the engine case is available. The result is that it may be difficult to find slight changes within hundreds of clearance trends. Only specialists with long experience in tip clearance measurement can synthesize all the data quickly enough using standard 2D plots. The 3D graphical user interface brings all of this data together to calculate the aggregated blade pattern, rotor positioning, and estimated case shape. All of these measurements are available to the user in a single visualization. Colors indicating alarm or clearance scale quickly draw attention to the most important data such as the minimum clearance point around the engine case where a rub may be likely to occur. This method is based about a case shape fitting algorithm that combines data from multiple sensors to make a case shape estimate based on fitting of a non-uniform rational B-spline (NURB). The scaling is also distorted in order to accentuate the graphics in a way that provides an intuitive understanding of the machine state. The method of applying this data accentuation is important so as to not be misleading. This innovative navigation interface presented in this paper capitalizes on modern advances in computer graphics to aid engineers and operators in understanding, access, monitoring, and analysis of tip clearance and air-gap measurements.
