In this paper, we study a noise-robust feature extraction method of speech signal based on auditory modeling. The auditory model consists of a basilar membrane, a hair cell model and spectrum output stage. Basilar membrane model describes a response characteristic of membrane according to vibration in speech wave, and is represented as a band-pass filter bank. Hair cell model describes a neural transduction according to displacements of the basilar membrane. It responds adaptively to relative values of input and plays an important role for noise-robustness. Spectrum output stage constructs a mean rate spectrum using the average firing rate of each channel. And we extract feature vectors using a mean rate spectrum. Simulation results show that when auditory-based feature extraction is used, the speech recognition performance in noisy environments is improved compared to other feature extraction methods.

고도의 진공 환경을 요구하는 반도체 생산 라인에 적용되는 고진공 펌프는 주로 복합 분자펌프와 크라이오 펌프가 사용되고 있다. 이 중 크라이오 펌프는 극저온으로 냉각되는 냉각판에 기체 분자를 응축 또는 흡착시켜 기체를 제거하는 방식으로 복합 분자 펌프로 무게가 가볍고 증발 온도가 낮은 네온, 수소, 헬륨 기체 제거에 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 상용화된 크라이오 펌프에 적용되는 GM 극저온 냉동기를 대체하기 위한 2단 GM형 맥동관 냉동기를 개발하여 기초 성능 시험을 수행하였다. 1단과 2단 모두 U-자형 형상으로 제작되었으며, 압력과 질량 유동 사이의 위상 조절을 위하여 오리피스 밸브와 이중 유입 밸브를 사용하였다. 개발된 맥동관 냉동기의 냉각 성능 목표는 1단(80 K)과 2단(20 K)에서 각각 45 W와 5 W이다. 기초 시험에서는 위상 조절용 밸브들의 개도와 작동 조건에 대한 냉각 특성과 부하 특성 시험을 수행하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 로터리 밸브 및 위상 조절 기구의 배치로 인해 고온부 형상이 복잡한 맥동관 냉동기를 크라이오 펌프로의 적용 편의성을 위하여 고온부 외형 구조를 단순화하였으며, 개발된 맥동관 냉동기와 기존에 크라이오 펌프에 적용되는 GM 극저온 냉동기를 비교, 고찰하였다.

In this paper, the increase in chloride resistance of footing concrete at coastal area was evaluated by replacement of Mineral Admixture. In KBC 2009, the footing concrete's minimum specific concrete strength at coastal area is determined to 35MPa. However, this is criteria only based on the strength aspect. Thus, it is not considered to increase the chloride resistance by replacement of Mineral Admixture. According to the test results of chloride ions penetration resistance, 35MPa class concrete with OPC 100% shown inaccessible state. Low-strength (24~30MPa class) concretes with Mineral Admixture, however, presented better performances. In addition, chloride diffusion coefficient tests showed identical appearance. Therefore, the current KBC's chloride resistance criteria based on only concrete strength has to review for the reason it can cause many problems (ex. cost increases by growing concrete strength and the environmental issues by a lot of cement use).

Low heat concrete using strontium hydroxide based latent heat material was manufactured in ready-mixed concrete batcher plant and its fundamental properties were tested. As a result of B/P test, its applicability to the construction site was verified. After B/P test, low heat concrete using strontium hydroxide based latent heat material was applied to the real construction site of bridge footing. Through the analysis and the actual measurement of the hydration heat of the concrete footing, the reduction effect of hydration heat and thermal crack was confirmed.

To enhance the performance of the IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access system, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of the radio link. The efficiency of the uplink can be improved by using more efficient random access method. As new random access methods, we propose a RA_NBRM method which is based on the number of bandwidth request messages and a RA_CRA method which is based on the conflict resolution algorithm. The simulation results show that the performance of the new methods is superior to that of the existing binary exponential backoff method.

태양광발전시스템은 낮은 효율의 PV 패널을 사용하여 최대의 전력을 생산하기 위해 PV 패널의 최대전력점에서 운전하는 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어가 반드시 필요하다. 기존의 MPPT 알고리즘은 대부분 경사법에 기초하고 있으며 그 중 대표적인 방법이 P&O(Perturb and Observe) 알고리즘이다. P&O 알고리즘의 MPPT 성능을 좌우하는 두 가지 인수는 MPPT 제어주기와 변량전압의 크기이다. MPPT 제어기의 빠른 동특성과 극대화된 효율을 위한 최적의 MPPT 제어주기와 변량전압의 크기를 결정하기 위해서는 실제 날씨 환경에서 다양한 일사량 프로파일 패턴에 대한 MPPT 제어기의 성능분석이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 대한민국 중부지역의 전형적인 맑은 날씨와 흐린 날씨에서 실제 일사량을 측정하고, 취득한 일사량데이터를 기초로 저자가 개발한 다이오드 등가모델을 적용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이를 기반으로 MPPT 제어주기의 설정값에 따른 PV 패널의 전력생산량을 예측하여 MPPT 목표 효율을 극대화할 수 있는 최적의 MPPT 제어주기를 제시한다.

In this paper, an entropy constrained vector quantizer for high bit-rates is proposed. The sample-adaptive product quantizer (SAPQ), which is based on the product codebooks, is employed, and a design algorithm for the entropy constrained sample adaptive product quantizer (ECSAPQ) is proposed. The performance of the proposed ECSAPQ is better than the case of the entropy constrained vector quantizer by 0.5dB. It is also shown that the ECSAPQ distortion curve, which is based on the scalar quantizer, is lower than the high-rate theoretical curve of the entropy constrained scalar quantizer, where the theoretical curve have 1.53dB difference from Shannon's lower bound.

Conventionally, PCB fabrication processes detects simply electrical characteristics of TCP and COF by automatic manufacturing system and additionally, by introducing human visual detection, those are very ineffective in view of low cost implementation. So, this paper presents an efficient detection algorithm for short and protrusion-type defects based on reference images by using local binary pattern analysis. The proposed methods include several preprocessing techniques such as histogram equalizing, the compensation of spatial position and maximum distortion coordination Through several experiments, it is shown that the proposed method can improve the defect detection performance compared to the conventional schemes.

This paper presents a Duvall-structure-based adaptive beamforming method which efficiently cancels coherent and incoherent interferences. The proposed method exploits several correlation vectors to increase the dimension of the weight vector, compared to the existing method which uses a single correlation vector only. The increased dimension of the weight vector leads to an improvement in the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) performance. Moreover, the proposed method can suppress more interferences than the existing one. Simulation shows that the former is superior to the latter in terms of the steady-state and transient responses.

This paper describes a design model for conceptual design of ship. Existing design models have some problems. For example, operating environment of batch versions can not reflect design procedure of real world truely and reliability of results are not high because means of performance estimation are based only on empirical formula. To improve these problems of existing design models, a new design model has been developed. The new model consists of interactive environment with databases of main engine and existing ship data. To develop user-oriented system, graphic user interface(GUI) is adapted.
