A stereo acoustic echo canceller has significant cross-correlation between each channel signal. As the result, the adaptive filter coefficient that estimates the acoustic echo path of a receiving room can misconverge to the path or converge slowly. In this paper, a new preprocessor using absolute difference in stereo signals is proposed to reduce cross-correlations and to improve the removal efficiency of the stereo acoustic echo. Compared to the previous preprocessor using a half wave rectifier, the newly proposed preprocessor showed better performance according to computer simulation. In addition, when the paths of transmitting room were changed the performance of the proposed preprocessor was not degraded.

There are several stylized facts concerning stock return volatility. First, it is persistent, so an increase in current volatility lasts for many periods. Second, stock volatility increases after stock prices fall. Third, stock volatility is related to macroeconomic volatility, recessions, and banking crises. On the other hand, there are many competing parametric models to represent conditional heteroskedasticity of stock returns. For this article, I adopt the strategy followed by French, Schwert, and Stambaugh(1987) and Schwert(l989, 1990). The models in this article provide a more structured analysis of the time-series properties of stock market volatility. Briefly, these models remove autoregressive and seasonal effects from daily returns to estimate unexpected returns. Then the absolute values of the unexpected returns are used in an autoregressive model to predict stock volatility.

In a conventional ICA(Independent Component Analysis) based face recognition method, PCA(Principal Component Analysis) first is used for feature extraction, ICA learning method then is applied for feature enhancement in the reduced dimension. It is not considered that a necessary component can be located in the discarded feature space. In the new ICA(NICA), learning extracts features using the magnitude of kurtosis (4-th order central moment or cumulant). But, the pure ICA method can not discard noise effectively. The synergy effect of PCA and ICA can be achieved if PCA is used for noise reduction filter. Namely, PCA does whitening and noise filtering. ICA performs feature extraction. Experiment results show the effectiveness of the new ICA method compared to the conventional ICA approach.

TiB$_2$powders were prepared by mechanical alloying, and the effect of Zr and Ta substitution for Ti was investigated. It was possible to produce titanium diboride phase by mechanical alloying titanium and boron elemental powders for 280 hours. The amorphization reaction, a common process which occurs during mechanical alloying, has not been found. When zirconium of which atomic radius was larger than that of titanium was substituted for Ti, the alloying time was greatly reduced. On the contrary, substitution of tantalum for titanium prolonged the alloying time because of the less negative heat of formation of tantalum diboride than that of titanium diboride.

Dynamic time warp(DTW) needs for interative calculations and the design of PE cell suitable for the operations is very important. Accordingly, this paper aims at the real time recognition design which enables large dictionary hardware realization using DTW algorithm. The DTW PE cell is seperated into three large blocks. "MIN" is the one block for counting accumulated minimum distance, "ADD" block calculates these minimum distances, and "ABS" seeks for the absolute values to the total sum of local distances. We have accomplisehd circuit design and verification for the MIN blocks, and performed MIN layout and DRC(design rule check) using 3um CMOS N-Well rule base.ing 3um CMOS N-Well rule base.

The purpose of this paper is to detect and identify topological errors in order to maintain a reliable database for the state estimator. In this paper, a two stage estimation procedure is used to identify the topology errors. At the first stage, the WSAV state estimator which has characteristics to remove bad data during the estimation procedure is run for finding out the suspected branches at which topology errors take place. The resulting residuals are normalized and the measurements with significant normalized residuals are selected. A set of suspected branches is formed based on these selected measurements; if the selected measurement is a line flow, the corresponding branch is suspected; if it is an injection, then all the branches connecting the injection bus to its immediate neighbors are suspected. A new WLAV state estimator adding the branch flow errors in the state vector is developed to identify the branch topology errors. Sample cases of single topology error and topology error with a measurement error are applied to IEEE 14 bus test system.

We proposed a new directional edge based interpolation, DEBI, by combining two weighted directional information to reduce blurred edges and annoying artifacts. Four isotropic gradient masks are employed in defining edge directions and they are proven to hold a first order derivative relation with respect to a rotating coordinate. Two minimum gradients among four absolute directional results are shown to be sufficient to describe slant edges efficiently. Compared with widely used bilinear and bicubic interpolation methods, the proposed algorithm results in a noticeable improvement along edge area.

Pseudo-3D spatial distribution of spray droplets is investigated by using Dual-mode Phase Doppler Anemometry (DPDA) in order to examine the disintegration and spreading behavior of spray exiting from liquid-propellant thruster injector. Spray injected from nozzle orifice with length-to-diameter ratio ($L/d_o$) of 1.67 and under the injection pressure of 27.6 bar is aligned to the vertical. Vertical and horizontal mean velocities of droplets, Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD), and volumetric flux decrease as droplets travel from center/upstream toward outer region/downstream of spray. Although the distribution of spray characteristic parameters is symmetric against the geometric axis of nozzle orifice, their absolute values are asymmetric.

In this study, ground vibrations of a surface blasting for golf links and a tunnel blasting for highway construction were measured to investigate the effect of blasting conditions such as total charge and distance from blasting point. In surface blasting, site factor K and n were 74.1 and -1.37, respectively, which were analyzed by means of cube root scaled distance. The more were measuring distance, the higher were absolute value of K and n. Principal frequency was in range of 5~60 Hz in surface blasting, where that of 80 percent was in range of 10~30 Hz. On the other hand it was in range of 25~98 Hz in tunnel blasting, which showed higher than of surface blasting.

As the convergence speed of time domain adaptive algorithm on the LMS(Least Mean Square) becomes slow when eigen value distribution width is spread, So variable step size algorithm is used widely. But it needs a lot of calculation load. In this paper we consider new algorithm, which can reduce calculations and improve convergence speed, uses instantaneous absolute value of average noise signal adapting the exponential function. For the performance of proposed algorithm is tested and simulated to system generator. As the result we show the variable step size adaptive algorithm in proportion to instantaneous absolute value is more stable and efficient than others.
