Novelty of the proposal Sample Clauses

Novelty of the proposal. In order to achieve its vision, the SkAT-VG project has to bring about a range of advances beyond the state of the art. The project is challenging current thinking along several directions. • How listeners identify a sound source, either directly or through vocal and gestural imitations, is a fundamental question in auditory cognition, but is however a little-understood issue. With its original mixture of psychology, gesture analysis, and articulatory phonology, the SkAT-VG project provides a new approach to this issue; • Vocal and gestural inputs are already used in a number of applications, such as querying multimedia databases, triggering events, or controlling sound parameters. The extraction and parameterization of a sound model from vocal-gestural imitations is a challenge that has never been attempted before; • The realization of a sketching tool for sound design is an endeavor that challenges the ephemeral nature of sound. A framework for sonic interaction design will enable rapid and creative exploration of the sonic behavior of objects with the same ease as their visual appearance is rendered by paper and pencil. The basic research conducted in the project will result in the development of a computational system mimicking what humans do when interpreting vocal and gestural imitations of sounds. The system will extract important features of vocalizations and manual gestures and map them to psychologically relevant sound categories, using machine-learning and perceptually-based signal processing. The system will even- tually connect vocal and manual inputs to appropriate sound synthesis modules and allow the user to edit and fine-tune the resulting sounds. Even in case of failure of the development of such system, the SkAT-VG project will develop an extensive scientific foundation on perception and identification of imitated sound sources and will contribute to the understanding of how humans effectively use their voice and hands to communicate sounds. That these innate abilities can actually be exploited for sketching sonic behaviors is a property that may emerge from a new combination of insights from different scientific areas as well as from research through design.

The provisions of clause 4 and 5 (including (for the avoidance of doubt) clause 5(9)) shall apply, the necessary changes being made, to proposals submitted pursuant to this clause.

  • Technical Proposal The technical proposal may be presented in free format. It shall not exceed ten pages, not counting the CVs. It shall respect the following page limit and structure: • Technical methodology (max. 7 pages) • Quality management (max. 1 page) • Project management (max. 1 page) • Resource management (proposal (max. 1 page) + CVs of experts)

  • Bidding and Proposal Phase 1.5.1 In conjunction with the development of the Guaranteed Maximum Price and at other times as appropriate to the Project, the Architect/Engineer shall assist the Owner and Construction Manager by receiving and recording requests for Bid and Request for Proposal (“RFP”) Documents, receiving and resolving questions about Bid and RFP Documents; preparing addenda, issuing addenda, and accounting for addenda issued; attending pre-bid and pre-proposal conferences and HUB meetings; evaluating bids and proposals; and assisting in preparing and awarding multiple contracts for construction. Architect/Engineer shall answer inquiries from bidders and proposers at Owner’s request, and shall prepare and issue any necessary addenda to the bidding or proposal documents.

  • Cost Proposal After the Approved Working Drawings are approved by Landlord and Tenant, and the Contractor and subcontractors have been selected pursuant to Section 4.1 above, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings setting forth the reconciled bids and copies of all sub-bids, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "COST PROPOSAL"). The Cost Proposal shall reflect bids that will be priced by Contractor on an individual item-by-item or trade-by-trade basis. Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith in an attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable Cost Proposal as soon as reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, portions of the cost of the Tenant Improvements may be delivered to Tenant as such portions of the Tenant Improvements are priced by Contractor (on an individual item-by-item or trade-by-trade basis), even before the Approved Working Drawings are completed (the "PARTIAL COST PROPOSAL") for purposes of facilitating the early purchase of items and construction of the same. Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord within seven (7) business days of the receipt of the same, or, as to a Partial Cost Proposal within five (5) business days of receipt of the same, and upon receipt of the same by Landlord, Landlord shall be released by Tenant to purchase the items set forth in the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, as the case may be, and to commence the construction relating to such items. If Tenant disapproves the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a reasonably sufficient explanation, and in such event, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith, diligent efforts to work with each other and Contractor to address Tenant's reasons for disapproving the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, whichever is the case and a new Cost Proposal (or Partial Cost Proposal, as applicable) shall be prepared and the process described in this Section 4.2 shall be repeated. The date by which Tenant must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal or the last Partial Cost Proposal to Landlord, as the case may be, shall be known hereafter as the "COST PROPOSAL DELIVERY DATE". The total of all Partial Cost Proposals, if any, shall be known as the Cost Proposal.
