<p style="color: grey"> Bash recipe 580801 by <a href="/recipes/users/4177147/">Barry Walker</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/alarm/">alarm</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/apple/">apple</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/audio/">audio</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/baby_alarm/">baby_alarm</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/cygwin/">cygwin</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/linux/">linux</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/noise/">noise</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sleep/">sleep</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sound/">sound</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/whitenoise/">whitenoise</a>). </p> <p>This is a simple BASH, DASH and SH script to sooth a newborn baby to sleep for a laptop with a builtin mic. Develeoped around an Apple MacBook Pro.</p> <p>Usage:- [./]shush.sh &lt;time in seconds from 18 to 2700&gt; [sensitivity [Hh|Mm|Ll]]&lt;CR&gt;</p> <p>If time is omitted it defaults to 2 bursts of 9 seconds each and if sensitivity is omitted defaults to [M]edium.</p> <p>It uses Quicktime Player for Apple OSX 10.12.4 minimum /dev/dsp for CygWin and some Linux flavours and arecored for Linux ALSA machines for baby awake detector.</p> <p>Upon the two arguments the white noise generator runs for approximately the time given in $1 in bursts of 9 seconds until the time limit is reached. $2 is used to detect of baby is awake and reruns the noise generator again with a new noise waveform.</p> <p>Enjoy...</p>

It applies back propagation with regularization to minimize the cost function. A gradient descent algorithm tries to find the minimum of the cost function in the landscape of weights. </p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Simple GUI to allow converting images from one format to another. Available formats are: .gif .jpg .png .tif .bmp Uses PIL.</p> <p>This is short and direct enhancement from recipe <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/180801-convert-image-format" rel="nofollow">http://code.activestate.com/recipes/180801-convert-image-format</a>. Two new features added:</p> <ul> <li>Optional deletion of the original image files.</li> <li>Optional recursive file selection. Implemented using <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577230-file-path-generator-from-path-patterns/" rel="nofollow">http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577230-file-path-generator-from-path-patterns/</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>note</strong> This assumes recipe/577230 is located in filePattern.py (see first import below)</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 64937 by <a href="/recipes/users/1511/">Jonathan Feinberg</a> . Revision 4. </p> <p>This module provides a simple API to allow translation between English and several European languages via the <a href="http://babelfish.altavista.com" rel="nofollow">babelfish.altavista.com</a> web site. There is one function for simple translation, and one for "babelizing", going back and forth between two languages.</p>
