Speech Signals consist of signals of consonants and vowels, but the lasting time of vowels is much longer than that of consonants. It can be assumed that the correlations between signal blocks in speech signal is very high. Each speech signal is divided into blocks which have 128 speech data. FFT is applied to each block. Low frequency areas of the results of FFT is taken and Covariance matrix between blocks in a speech signal is extracted and finally eigenvalues of those matrix are obtained. It is studied that what the distribution of eigenvalues of various speech files is. The differences between speech signals and noise signals from cars are also studied.

In this paper, we have analyzed the block error probability of orthogonal multicarrier 16 QAM signal in a frequency selective Rician fading environment. The block error probability is evaluated with several parameters such as normalized propagation delay $(\gamma/T_S),$, bit energy to noise power ratio $(E_b/N_0),$ and desired signal to undesired signal power ratio (DUR) in fast fading and slow fading channels. In the fast fading channel, The result shows that the block error probability rather in the fast fading channel achieves better performance than in the slow fading channel, when the error correction capability is one or two.

One way to shield an atypical structure to secure the occupant safety of an impact vehicle is to stack energy absorbing material modules around the structure. To be applicable to a cushion module, material must have enough energy absorbing capabilities while satisfying the safety requirements of the vehicle occupant. Static compression test of the potential materials gives a good indication which material is good for a slacking module. This paper presents the mechanical properties that a cushion material must have to satisfy the safety requirements. Static tests are performed for Quard-Guard system module, sand bag, recycled tires, Geo-Container, Geo-Cell and Expanded Polystyren (EPS) Blocks. Static test results are discussed and EPS block of $30kg/m^{3}$ density showed good potential for a cushion module. To check the dynamic effect of EPS block, drop tests have been made up to 35.6km/h impact speed. Drop test results are compared with static test results and no appreciable difference was found. To improve the EPS module property, making holes to the block is suggested and drop test are performed for the modified blocks. From the drop test results, design values are suggested.

In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for region analysis of business card images acquired in a PDA by using DCT and information pixel density. The proposed method consists of three parts: region segmentation, information region classification, and text region classification. In the region segmentation, an input business card image is partitioned into 8 f8 blocks and the blocks are classified into information and background blocks using the normalized DCT energy in their low frequency bands. The input image is then segmented into information and background regions by region labeling on the classified blocks. In the information region classification, each information region is classified into picture region or text region by using a ratio of the DCT energy of horizontal and vertical edge components to that in low frequency band and a density of information pixels, that are black pixels in its binarized region. In the text region classification, each text region is classified into large character region or small character region by using the density of information pixels and an averaged horizontal and vertical run-lengths of information pixels. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields good performance of region segmentation, information region classification, and text region classification for test images of several types of business cards acquired by a PDA under various surrounding conditions. In addition, the error rates of the proposed region segmentation are about 2.2-10.1% lower than those of the conventional region segmentation methods. It is also shown that the error rates of the proposed information region classification is about 1.7% lower than that of the conventional information region classification method.

As 3D printing technology is used in the medical field, interest in metal materials is increasing. The Department of Radiation Oncology uses a shielding block to shield the patient's normal tissue from unnecessary exposure during electron beam therapy. However, problems such as handling of heavy metal materials such as lead and cadmium, reproducibility according to skill level and uncertainty of arrangement have been reported. In this study, candidate materials that can be used for metal 3D printing are selected, and the physical properties and radiation dose of each material are analyzed to develop a customized shielding block that can be used in electron beam therapy. As candidate materials, aluminum alloy (d = 2.68 g/cm³), titanium alloy (d = 4.42 g/cm³), and cobalt chromium alloy (d = 8.3 g/cm³) were selected. The thickness of the 95% shielding rate point was derived using the Monte Carlo Simulation with the irradiation surface and 6, 9, 12, and 16 energies. As a result of the simulation, among the metal 3D printing materials, cobalt chromium alloy (d = 8.3 g/cm³) was similar to the existing shielding block (d = 9.4 g/cm³) in shielding thickness for each energy. In a follow-on study, it is necessary to evaluate the usefulness in clinical practice using customized shielding blocks made by metal 3D printing and to verify experiments through various radiation treatment plan conditions.

다리우스 풍력터빈의 속도설정을 터빈이 만드는 토크와 발전기가 요구하는 토크의 \평형을 통해 찾아 낼 수 있음을 검토하였다. 풍속에 따른 속도-토크곡선에서 일정충력곡선이 만나는 점이 터빈의 동작점으로 되며 이는 안정 및 불안정이 될 수도 있다. 풍속과 출력이 각각 변할 때 이 동작점이 어떻게 이동되는가 하는 점을 제시하였다. 또한 터빈의 속도에 관한 제어 블록선도를 제시하여 그 출력변화에 따른 속도변화의 전달함수를 알아내고 이의 형태는 1차 시지연 함수로 유도된다.

본 논문에서는 시간 영역 에너지의 companding을 이용하여 오디오 부호화에서 발생하는 프리 에코를 효과적으로 감소시키는 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 오디오 부호화는 블록 단위의 변환 부호화를 사용하므로 과도 구간에서 프리 에코를 발생시킨다. 프리 에코를 줄이기 위한 기존 TNS 방법은 주파수 영역에서 선형 예측 방법을 사용하며, 부가 정보 전송이 필요하고 성능이 낮은 문제점을 가진다. 제안하는 방법은 시간 영역 에너지의 동적 범위를 감소시킨 후 부호화 하고, 복호화 이후에 에너지를 복원하는 과정을 통하여 양자화 오차의 시간 영역 에너지 분포를 조정하여 프리 에코를 감소시킨다. 제안하는 방법이 TNS보다 우수한 프리 에코 감소 성능을 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper introduces a simulation method for the collision between roadblocks and vehicles using LS-DYNA. The need to evaluate the performance of anti-ram barriers to prepare for vehicle impact has increased since vehicle impact threats have been included as a design criterion for nuclear power plants. Anti-ram barriers are typically certified for their performance through collision experiments. However, because Koreas has no performance testing facilities for anti-ram barriers, their performance can only be verified through simulations. LS-DYNA is a specialized program for collision simulation. Various organizations, including NCAC, distributes numerical models that have been validated for their accuracy with collision tests. In this study, we constructed a finite element model of the most critical vehicle barrier module and simulated collision between roadblocks and vehicles. The calculated results were verified by applying the validation criteria for vehicle safety facility collision simulations of NCHRP 179.
