본 논문에서는 Text-to-Speech 시스템에서 사용할 억양 모델을 위해 음성 DB에서 모델 파라미터와 피치 검색테이블(lookup-table)을 추출하여 미리 구성하고, 합성시에는 이를 추정하여 최종 F0 값을 생성하는 자료기반 접근방식(data-driven approach)을 사용한다. 어절 경계강도(break-index)는 경계강도의 특성에 따라 고정적 경계강도와 가변적 경계강도로 세분화하여 사용하였고, 예측된 경계강도를 기준으로 억양구(Intonation Phrase)와 액센트구(Accentual Phrase)를 설정하였다. 특히, 액센트구 모델은 인지적, 음향적으로 중요한 정점(peak)을 정확하게 모델링하는 것에 주안점을 두어 정점(peak)의 시간축, 주파수축 값과 이를 기준으로 한 앞뒤 기울기를 추정하여 4개의 파라미터로 설정하였고, 이 파라미터들은 CART(Classification and Regression Tree)를 이용하여 예측규칙을 만들었다. 경계음조가 나타나는 조사, 어미는 정규화된(normalized) 피치값과 key-index로 구성되는 검색테이블을 만들어 보다 정교하게 피치값을 예측하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 억양 모델을 본 연구실에서 제작한 음성합성기를 통해 합성하여 청취실험을 거친 결과, 기존의 상용 Text-to-Speech 시스템에 비해 자연스러운 합성음을 얻을 수 있었다.

Length normalization by variable frame size is proposed as a novel approach to length normalization to solve the problem that the length variation of spoken word results in a lowing of recognition accuracy. This method has the advantage of curtailment of recognition time in the recognition stage because it can reduce the number of frames constructing a word compared with length normalization by a fixed frame size. In this paper, variable frame length normalization is applied to multisection vector quantization and the efficiency of this method is estimated in the view of recognition time and accuracy through practical recognition experiments.

In the three axis control of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite by using reaction wheel and gyro, a reaction wheel produces the control torque by the wheel speed or momentum, and a gyro carries out measuring of the attitude angle and the attitude angular velocity. In this paper, the dynamic modelling of LEO is consisted of the one from the rotational motion of the satellite with basic rigid body model and a flexible model, in addition to the reaction wheel model. A robust controller $(H_\infty)$ is designed to stabilize the rigid body and the flexible body of satellite, which can be perturbed due to disturbance, etc. The result obtained by $H_\infty$ controller is compared with that of the PI (Proportional and Integration) controller, which has been traditionally using for the stabilizing LEO satellite.

Experimental study has been performed to investigate the influence of non-condensible gas(NCG) charged mass on the thermal performance of a variable conductance heat pipe(VCHP) with screen mesh wick. The VCHP is furnished by screen mesh number 200 for the pipe outer diameter of 12.7mm and the pipe length of 500 mm. The VCHP is filled with water as working fluid of 4.8g and nitrogen as NCG and has evaporator, condenser and adiabatic section, respectively. For the results from experiment, it is found that, for the same charged mass of working fluid, the overall wall temperatures of heat pipe grows up with increasing NCG charged mass. The variation of operating temperature of VCHP reduces with increasing NCG mass. In addition, the profile of axial wall temperature distribution is presented for heat transport capacity of heat pipe, the temperature of cooling water of condenser, inclination angle, and operating temperature.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of torque variation on stress distributions in A-IMS module with both side tubular shaft yoke by numerically. In order to achieve this, the torque value was increased from 10Nm to 40Nm, and the results of this work were confirmed in terms of Von-mises Stress and the displacement characteristics. As the torque in module assembly was increased, the stress in tubular shaft york and splined shaft york was increased linearly. The indentation due to the steel ball was occurred in over $40N{\cdot}m$ torque which is over the yield strength condition. The largest displacement occurred in the tubular shaft yoke 1, however, it does not exceed the yield strength and is supposed to be restored due to the elasticity. Therefore, it was concluded that there is no problem for the manufacturing of A-IMS with both side tubular shaft yoke.

Research of reusability and variability design for embedded system development is insufficient. An embedded system should be designed to support new devices. If extensibility of embedded system is not considered, it is difficult to reconstruct. Currently, the development productivity and reusability of embedded system are very poor, and this will be cased about problems of increasing maintenance and development cost, and decreasing system quality such as software crisis. In this paper, we present framework of embedded system that address those problems of embedded system. We suggest a plug-in technique, based on reusability framework, which can support various devices dynamically. Also, we propose a dynamic Meta model which is base on plug-in technique.

Based on upper limb torque by different angles of a back, distance between crank axis and chest and angles of hand-grips, this research is to develop variable hand bikes. By doing so, it is to offer guidance for its design. For this research three normal persons took part in the experiment. Results are as follows. First, upper limb torque was found to be the highest at 50 degree of a back and muscle endurance was shown to be the highest at 80 degree of a back. It means that as a back of a chair gets lower the speed and efficiency becomes better, which contradicts the subjective fact that K-type hand bikes would show the highest speed. Second, among types of grips of hand bikes 45 degree ones have been shown to be the ones with the highest torque. This is due to proper distribution of power of joints in arms, elbows, and shoulders. Third, in case of distance of 45cm between crank axis and chest, it has shown the most efficient torque. This is because of the effect of gravity and exhaustion when handling.

In this study, in the high expansion cycle was conduced by variable valve timing system composition to close intake valve late, and in the intake air reduction on the low compression was solved by supercharging pressure. In this wise, by constituting Diesel-Atkinson cycle, this study looked into a possibility of thermal efficiency improvement. As a result, there was improvement in thermal efficiency and output in a whole range of closing timing from ABDC $40^{\circ}$ to ABDC $80^{\circ}$. However, after ABDC $70^{\circ}$ of closing timing, the thermal efficiency increase was getting smaller. As the result of the study, the optimum intake valve closing timing was about ABDC $70^{\circ}$, high loading territory of engine was more effective than low loading territory, and engine operation in middle loading territory was stable. At this time, brake thermal efficiency was 12.5% higher than ordinary engine on average.
