Dvorak

The Dvorak is the first truly compact dipole loudspeaker. It avoids the non-uniform, off-axis frequency response behavior of large radiator surfaces and their critical listening position. The Dvorak's much smaller size, compared to conventional electrostatic or magnetic planar dipole speakers, is due to the use of high quality electrodynamic drive units. They are capable of larger excursions and much higher dynamics. In fact, the Dvorak carries the dipole concept to the subwoofer frequencies and thereby achieves a new naturalness in bass reproduction.

Among other composers to influence Dvorak was Wagner. Dvorak played in a concert of Wagner excerpts conducted by the composer himself, and this experience had a noticable impact on the direction that Dvorak was to take. Another perhaps more lasting influence on his music was Brahms. Their paths crossed when Brahms was one of the judges in a composing competition which Dvorak won three years running. The two became friends and there is clearly much in common with their music in the way that they spoke the romantic idiom while staying true to classical traditions of Beethoven and Schubert. But the two composers differed significantly in their overall sound.

A computer-based objective Dvorak technique designed to estimate tropical cyclone intensity from satellite IR observations was developed in order to eliminate subjectivity resulting from analyst interpretation of the standard Dvorak methodology. An original version of the ODT algorithm, primarily developed by the third author, was modified in this study to incorporate more of the rules and adjustments from the basic Dvorak method. In addition, the modified algorithm includes several new constraints and time averaging of consecutive estimates. When evaluated against reconnaissance aircraft reports of intensity (MSLP), it is found that the modifications result in a significant improvement to the ODT performance.

According to Dr. Dvorak, cancerous tumors make and secrete VEGF that causes blood vessels to leak plasma fibrogen, the substance that helps form blood clots. This in turn, enables the growth of the new blood vessels that the tumor needs to grow. However, tumors differ from healing wounds in one important respect. As soon as a wound is healed, VEGF production is turned off abruptly. Tumors, on the other hand, continue to make large amounts of VEGF and in essence keep the body's healing mechanism in the "on position," allowing malignant cells to grow and spread at rapid speed.

Dvorak was born on the 8th of September, 1841 in Nelahozeves, a village near Prague. He was the son of the village butcher as well as inn-keeper. Beginning with his youth, he helped his father out at the butcher shop, as well as displaying talent at playing the violin. Dvorak studied with Antonín Liehmann at the Prague from 1857-1859. Dvorak excelled at playing the viola for the Bohemian Provisional Theatre Orchestra which was from 1866 conducted by Bedrich Smetana. Until 1873, Dvorak was mainly privately teaching, and composing.

The Dvorak uses the well known dipole design concept in a novel way. It is a moderately directional loudspeaker over all of its frequency range. It illuminates the listening room with sound, which at any angle is almost perfectly matched to the on-axis output, except lower in level. This not only ensures a smooth spectral balance of the reverberant sound field, it quite literally removes the inherent acoustic contributions of the listening environment.
