The axial compressive strength, relative 3-D stability and osteoconductive shape design of an intervertebral fusion cage are important biomechanical factors for successful intervertebral fusion. Changes in the stress distribution of the vertebral end plate and in cage stability due to changes in the spike shape of a newly contrived box-shaped fusion cage are investigated. In this investigation, the initial contact of the cage's spikes with the end plate and the penetration of the cage's spikes into the end plate are considered. The finite element analysis is conducted to study the effects of the cage's spike height, tip width and angle on the stress distribution of the vertebral end plate, and the micromigration of the cage in the A-P direction. The stress distribution in the end plate is examined when a normal load of 1700N is applied to the vertebra after inserting 2 cages. The micromigration of the cage is examined when a pull out load of l00N is applied in the A-P direction. The analysis results reveal that the spike tip width significantly influences the stress concentration in the end plate, but the spike height and angle do not significantly influence the stress distribution in the end plate touching the cage's spikes. In addition, the analysis results show that the micromigration of the cage can be reduced by adjusting the spike angle and spike arrangement in the A-P direction. This study proposes the optimal shape of an intervertebral fusion cage, which promotes bone fusion, reduces the stress concentration in a vertebral end plate, and increases mechanical stability.

본 논문에서는 스파이크그램 기반의 주파수 및 시간 특성을 이용한 음속 인식 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 MFCC 특성은 프레임 단위의 평균 특성이기 때문에 시간 해상도가 낮고, 짧은 음소의 특성을 반영하기에는 어렴움이 있다. 반면, 스파이크그램은 청각 모델을 기반으로 샘플 단위로 계산하기 때문에높은 시간 해상도를 가진다. 고 해상도의 스파이크그램을 분석하면 음소 인식에 특화된 특성 벡터를 추출할 수 있다. 추출된 특성으로 심층 신경망을 학습시켜 음소 인식기를 구현하였고, TMIT 테이터 세트로 성능을 평가하였다. 성능 평가를 통하여 스파이크그램 기반의 새로운 시간-주파수 특성을 사용하여 MFCC 특성과 유사한 성능의 음소인식이 가능한 것을 확인하였다.

As a kind of application of laser propulsion, air-breathing laser-spike engine can be designed for aircraft in atmospheric flight. Laser-spike engine generates thrust using the blast wave induced by laser energy instead of combustion process. And this engine use air as propellant, therefore, it need no on board propellant. For experimental study, supersonic wind tunnel and spark generator were used. Flow visualization was performed using 2-dimensional laser-spike engine model And numerical simulation of the corresponding case for the experiment was done and compared with experimental case. Detailed results will be discussed at the presentation.

본 논문에서는 음악 장르 분류를 위한 시간 및 주파수 기반 스파이크그램 특성 추출 기술을 제안한다. 기존의 음악 장르 분류 시스템에서는 푸리에 변환 기반의 입력 특성을 주로 사용해 왔다. 푸리에 변환은 시간 축에서 프레임 단위로 평균적인 주파수 정보를 취하므로 낮은 시간 해상도를 갖지만, 스파이크그램은 샘플 단위의 주파수 정보를 갖고 있어 고해상도의 특성을 추출할 수 있다. 제안하는 기술은 이러한 시간 기반 특성을 추출하여 주파수 기반 특성 및 SNR 특성과 함께 심층 신경망의 입력으로 사용한다. 제안하는 특성을 사용하여 시간 기반 특성을 사용하지 않은 기존 스파이크그램 특성 기반 분류기의 성능을 개선하였으며, 다른 특성 및 분류기에 비해 적은 수의 특성 입력으로도 우수한 성능을 얻는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a wavelet packet transform method is proposed for improving the altitude control performance of quadrotor UAV using an ultrasonic rangefinder. A ground tests are conducted using an ultrasonic rangefinder that is much used for vertical takeoff and landing. An ultrasonic rangefinder suffers from signal's spike due to specular reflectance and acoustic noise. The occurred spikes in short time span need to be analyzed at both sides time and frequency domain. The analyzed spikes of the ultrasonic rangefinder using a wavelet packet transform. Compared with the discrete wavelet transform, the wavelet packet decomposition can obtain more abundant time-frequency localization information, so it is more suitable for analyzing and processing ultrasonic signals spike. Experimental results show that it can effectively remove the spikes of the ultrasonic rangefinder.

Impulsive sound and vibration signals in gear system are often associated with their faults. Thus these impulsive sound and vibration signals can be used as indicators in condition monitoring of gear system. The traditional continuous wavelet transform has been used for detection of impulsive signals. However, it is often difficult for the continuous wavelet transform to identify spikes at high frequency and meshing frequencies at low frequency simultaneously since the continuous wavelet transform is to apply the linear scaling (a-dilation) to the mother wavelet. In this paper, the spike wavelet transform is developed to extract these impulsive sound and vibration signals. Since the spike wavelet transform is to apply the non-linear scaling, it has better time resolution at high frequency and frequency resolution at low frequency than that of the continuous wavelet transform respectively. The spike wavelet transform can be, therefore, used to detect fault position clearly without the loss of information for the damage of a gear system. The spike wavelet transform is successfully is applied to detection of the gear fault with tip breakage.

In this paper, a stationary wavelet transform method is proposed for improving the altitude control performance of quadrotor UAV using an ultrasonic rangefinder. A ground tests are conducted using an ultrasonic rangefinder that is much used for vertical takeoff and landing. An ultrasonic rangefinder suffers from signal's spike due to specular reflectance and acoustic noise. The occurred spikes in short time span need to be analyzed at both sides time and frequency domain. It was known that stationary wavelet transform is the transferring solution to the problem occurred by down sampling from DWT also more efficient to remove noise than DWT. The analyzed spikes of the ultrasonic rangefinder using a stationary wavelet transform and experimental results show that it can effectively remove the spikes of the ultrasonic rangefinder.
