In this paper, we propose a DNN based speech detection system using acoustic characteristics and context information of media audio. The speech detection for discriminating between speech and non-speech included in the media audio is a necessary preprocessing technique for effective speech processing. However, since the media audio signal includes various types of sound sources, it has been difficult to achieve high performance with the conventional signal processing techniques. The proposed method improves the speech detection performance by separating the harmonic and percussive components of the media audio and constructing the DNN input vector reflecting the acoustic characteristics and context information of the media audio. In order to verify the performance of the proposed system, a data set for speech detection was made using more than 20 hours of drama, and an 8-hour Hollywood movie data set, which was publicly available, was further acquired and used for experiments. In the experiment, it is shown that the proposed system provides better performance than the conventional method through the cross validation for two data sets.

In this paper, the 50kW aerogenerator which is applicable to the microgrid was designed and analyzed by using commercial simulation program Maxwell 2D. Particularly, the suggested PMSG to reduce the cogging torque introduced the offset and skew concept. The suggested optimal value of offset and skew was decided by 2mm and 60 degree of electric angle. The simulation results of the PMSG when load operation condition showed the average harmonic distortion 1.3%, voltage 322.41V, current 94.95A, and iron loss 9.73W, eddy current loss 73.68W, copper loss 3.52kW. The capacity of aerogenerator calculated 61.56kW, and the suggested design process can be applied to higher capacity generator.

오늘날 멀티미디어 정보의 양이 매우 빠른 속도로 증가함에 따라 멀티미디어 데이타베이스에 대한 효율적인 관리는 더욱 중요한 의미를 가지게 되었다. 게다가 영상과 같은 비 문자형태의 데이타에 대한 사용자들의 내용기반 검색욕구 증가로 인해 비디오 인덱싱에 대한 관심은 더욱 고조되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 우선적으로 분할된 샷 경계면에서 추출된 대표 프레임과 정지 영상 데이타베이스로부터 유사 영상과 유사 대표 프레임을 검색할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 우선적으로 영상에 의한 질의는 기존에 주로 사용되어온 색상 히스토그램방식을 탈피하여 본 논문에서 제안하는 CS와 GS방식을 이용하여 색상 및 방향성 정보도 고려하도록 설계하였다. 또한 얼굴에 의한 질의는 대표 프레임으로부터 얼굴 영역을 추출해 내고 얼굴의 경계선 값 및 쌍 직교 웨이블릿 변환에 의해 얻어진 2개의 특징값을 이용하여 유사 인물이 포함된 대표 프레임을 검색해 내도록 설계하였다. Abstract There is a rapid increase in the use of digital video information in recent years, it becomes more important to manage multimedia databases efficiently. There is a big concern about video indexing because users require content-based image retrieval. In this paper, we first propose query-by-image system environment which allows to retrieve similar images from the chosen representative frames or images from the image databases. This algorithm considers not only the discretized color histogram but also the proposed directional information called CS & GS method. Finally, we designe another query environment using query-by-face. In this system , user selects a people in the representative frame browser and then system extracts a face region from that frame. After that system retrieves similar representative frames using 2 features, edge information and biorthogonal wavelet transform.

Due to recent development in wireless communication technologies and mobile information devices, the services on ubiquitous computing technology without time and place restriction have been spotlighted. Moreover, the interest of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and context-awareness technologies have largely been escalating and their technologies utilization is active in the various applications such as healthcare, farm management and so on. However, the direct adaption of the existing context-awareness technique to the WSN technology has several drawbacks as follows. First, such systems waste precious energy of sensor nodes, due to unnecessary data transmissions. Secondly, since the existing work was designed to support only specific applications, it is required to implement a new context-awareness application for a specific purpose. Therefore, we, in this paper, propose a new real-time monitoring system based on context-awareness in WSNs. Our system not only enhances energy efficiency by reducing data transmissions by doing context-awareness on a sensor node, but also is scalable in terms of supporting new context-awareness functionalities through modularization.

This paper proposed power system for new DC 49[V] telecommunication using forward three-phase PWM rectifier power factor and efficiency for improvement of ripple voltage. Proposed power system for DC 48[V] telecommunication that consists of power conversion devices including switch, inductor and condenser were made between each line, in power inverter device of each switch control turn-on in period of continuity time control to get power factor '1' of sine wave current and on-off of switch lessens peak current that was happened and got conversion efficiency 92.1[%] composing in PWM rectifier of forward form instead of general PWM rectifier. Also, harmonic input regulation value(IEC61000-3-2 Class-As) satisfy input current and reduce ripple factor of output voltage in state that distortion of three-phase supply is overlapped each other.

Recently, there has been a growing global interest in environmental conservation, and the field of electric power equipment has been working to become more environment-friendly. Accordingly, the low noise cooling fan of power transformers was developed through the improvement of blade shape. These are expected to apply to existing power transformers and low noise transformers. It is essential for low noise fan to possess good cooling performance as well as low audible noises. But, there was not analysis on the audible noise level and the cooling performance for low noise cooling fans until present. In this paper, we measure the audible noise level and the flow rate of low noise cooling fans to inspect the performance, Also, we confirmed that the low noise cooling fan is available to apply to power transformers through temperature rise tests of power transformers.

In a variety of fields, recently, there is a growing interest in Geographic Information System which facilitates efficient storage and retrieval of geographic information. It is of extreme importance to make a good choice of efficient input method, because it takes the most of the lime and cost in constructing a GIS. Among several steps, thinning input image to produce skeleton of unit width is prerequisite to the automatic input or geographic maps. In this paper, we systematically evaluate the performance of representative thinning algorithms in geographic maps such as contour, cadastral, and water and sewer maps, and suggest appropriate algorithms for the maps, respectively. A thorough experiment indicates that Arcelli's method is best for contour maps, Holt's method for cadastral maps, and Chen's method for water and sewer maps.

Increasing concerns on radioactive wastes have drawn much attention on the development of remediation technologies. Massive amounts of radioactive wastes generated from hospital and nuclear power plants were exposed to our environment. Although physicochemical removal methods were developed, an eco-friendly remediation method has not yet been demonstrated. Recently, an extremophilic bacterium has received much attention due to their extraordinary characteristics. Among them, Deinococcus radiodurans (D. radiodurans) strain was regarded as the best host organism for the removal of radioactive heavy metals and radionuclides, because of their superb characteristics like tolerance against the high level of radioactivity. In this article, we briefly introduced the extraordinary nature of D. radiodurans and also discussed the potential use of D. radiodurans strain for the removal of radioactive wastes.

In this paper, a K-band oscillator which is composed of a hair-pin resonator, a GaAs MESFET, and a frequency doubler, is suggested, implemented by HMIC(Hybrid Microwave Integrated Circuits) form, and characterized for its microwave performance. A $\lambda_g$/4 open stub is used in frequency doubler to suppress the fundamental frequency of 9 GHz which is the output of the hair-pin resonator oscillator and output matching network is optimized for its second harmonic freuency of 18 HGz. For the oscillator, the output power of -0.83 dBm, the fundamental frequency suppression of -23 dBc, and phase noise of -86 dBc/Hz at 18.20 GHz are obtained.
