본 연구에서는 주파수 영역에서의 확산 스펙트럼 방식을 이용한 오디오 워터마킹 기법을 사용하고 있다. 워터마크 삽입은 오디오 신호를 MCLT(Modulated Complex Lapped Transform)로 분석한 후, 특정 주파수 영역의 진폭에 삽입되며 추출은 상관도를 이용하여 추출하게 된다. 워터마크 삽입은 44.1 kHz의 음악에 80 bits의 정보가 4초 단위로 반복적으로 삽입되며, 추출에서는 무작위로 추출된 8초 분량의 오디오 신호로부터 80 bits 비트 열과의 상관도를 계산하여 선정된 문턱 값을 초과하게 되면 워터마크가 존재하는 것으로 판단하게 된다 피치 스케일에 대응하기 위하여 120개 정도의 탐색을 수행하며, 시간 스케일에 대응하기 위하여 상관도의 지역 최대 점을 추출하고, 이러한 지역 최대 점들로부터 추출된 비트 열과 실제 비트 열과의 상관도를 계산하게 된다. 그러나 추출된 비트 열은 삽입 에러와 삭제 에러를 가질 수 있기 때문에 이러한 비트 열과의 최대 상관도를 구하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 동적계획법에 의한 최대 상관도 추출 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제안된 방법은 피치 및 시간 스케일링 변환 뿐만 아니라, 오디오 압축에도 견고함을 보인다.

무제한 어휘 음성합성 시스템의 문-음성 합성기는 합성음의 자연감을 높이기 위해 여러 가지 방법을 사용하게되는데 그중 하나가 자연음에 내재하는 운을 법칙을 정확히 구현하는 것이다. 합성에 필요한 운율법칙은 언어학적 정보를 이용해 구현하거나, 자연음을 분석해 구한 운을 정보로부터 운율 법칙을 추출하여 합성에 이용하고 있다. 이와 같이 구한 운을 법칙이 자연음에 존재하는 운율 법칙을 전부 반영하지 못했거나, 잘못 구현되는 경우에는 합성음의 자연성이 떨어지게 된다. 이런 점을 고려하여 우리는 자연음의 운율 정보를 이용해 인공 신경망을 훈련시켜, 문장단위 운율을 발생시킬 수 있는 방식을 제안하였다. 운율의 세 가지 요소는 피치, 지속시간, 크기 변화가 있는데, 인공 신경망은 문장이 입력되면, 각 해당 음소의 지속시간에 따른 피치 변화와 크기 변화를 학습할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 신경망을 훈련시키기 위해 고립 단어 군과 음소균형 문장 군을 화자로 하여금 발성하게 하여, 녹음하고, 분석하여 구한 운을 정보를 데이터베이스로 구축하였다. 문장 내의 각 음소에 대해 지속시간과 피치 변화 그리고 크기 변화를 구하고, 곡선적응 방법을 이용하여 각 변화 곡선에 대한 다항식 계수와 초기치를 구해 운을 데이터베이스를 구축한다. 이 운을 데이터베이스의 일부를 인공 신경망을 훈련시키는데 이용하고, 나머지를 이용해 인공 신경망의 성능을 평가한 결과 운을 데이터베이스를 계속 확장하면 좀더 자연스러운 운율을 발생시킬 수 있음을 관찰하였다.

A cascade apparatus was designed with only one blade. Its passage is a 160% width of the cascade pitch. This kind of apparatus can give more accurate experimental result than those applying multi-blades even though the apparatus is small. However, this causes difficulties to make the periodic condition along the pitchwise direction. In this study, sidewalls were designed to satisfy the periodic condition based on the flow structure using a gradient based optimization and a genetic algorism. The objective function was adopted the surface Mach number obtained on the cascade and fourteen design variables were selected for controlling sidewall shapes. The designed sidewalls using the genetic algorism shows better result.

In the digital waveguide theory, traveling waves are represented by general solution to the wave equation that is second-order linear partial differential equation. The movement of these waves can be implemented using only delay lines. An unit delay in the general digital waveguide describes a sampling time interval. However, in the space-based digital waveguide the unit delay implies the spatial sampling distance. In consideration of these differences between two models, it is known that the space-based digital waveguide model is adequate to synthesize pitch-shifted sounds such as vibrato because the propagation distance can be directly control. In this paper, the time-based digital waveguide model which also synthesizes pitch-shifted sounds is proposed and compared with space-based digital waveguide.

Stealthy, high maneuverability and super cruise abilities are required for the next generation fighter and unmanned aircraft. Thrust vector control technique currently come into use to meet these requirements. In this experimental study, axial and pitch thrust were measured and Schlieren visualization were carried out using the scaled two dimensional thrust vector nozzles under various pitch deflection angle, pitch flap length and height. From the study, we could get the supersonic flow characteristics and draw an optimum geometric configuration of the two dimensional thrust vector nozzle.

In this paper, simulations of S-parameter and characteristic impedance for the probe pin are performed and its high-frequency performance is analyzed. The probe pins are arranged with one signal pin in the center and four ground pins on the top, bottom, left and right sides. The insertion loss and return loss of the probe pin are calculated while increasing the separation between the probe pins to 0.35 mm, 0.40 mm, and 0.50 mm, respectively. It is confirmed that the probe pin has different features of the insertion loss due to its periodic resonance phenomenon. Effect of the characteristic impedance on pitch and assignment of the probe pin is also analyzed. It is verified that there are a number of ground pins whose characteristic impedance is close to 50 Ω.

In this work, based on the blade element-momentum theory (BEMT), we proposed the geometry of a lab-scale horizontal axis tidal turbine with a diameter of 80cm, which can demonstrate the maximum power coefficient, and investigated the effect of blade pitch angle increase on the power coefficient. For validation of the computed power coefficients by the BEMT, we also computed the power coefficient using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for each case. For the CFD, 15 times of the turbine radius was used for the length and diameter of the computational domain, and the open boundary condition was prescribed at the boundary of the computational domain. The maximum power coefficients of the turbine acquired by the BEMT and CFD were about 48%, showing a good agreement. Both of the power coefficients computed by the BEMT and CFD tended to decrease when the blade pitch angle increases. The two power coefficients for a given tip-speed ratio were in good agreement. Through the present study, we have confirmed that we can trust the proposed geometry and the computed power coefficients based on the BEMT.

The need of geothermal energy is constantly increasing for economical and environmental utilization. Horizontal ground heat exchangers (GHEs) can reduce installation cost and increase efficiency. There are many kinds of GHEs, and it is known that slinky and spiral coil type GHEs show high thermal performance. Therefore, this paper presents experimental results of heat exchange rates in horizontal slinky and spiral coil type GHEs installed in a steel box whose size is $5m{\times}1m{\times}1m$. Dried Joomunjin standard sand was filled in a steel box, and thermal response tests (TRTs) were conducted for 30 hours to evaluate heat exchange rates by changing different pitch spaces of horizontal slinky and spiral coil type GHEs. As a result, spiral coil type GHE showed 30~40% higher heat exchange rates per pipe length than horizontal slinky type GHEs. Furthermore, long pitch interval (Pitch/Diameter=1) showed 200~250% higher heat exchange rates per pipe length than short pitch interval (Pitch/Diameter=0.2) in both spiral coil and horizontal slinky type GHEs, respectively.

The effect of heat treatment conditions on the properties of tungsten(W) embolization coils has been evaluated. The W embolization coils were fabricated by coiling the primary W coil with a diameter of 30.mm on a alumina rod mandrel with a diameter of 2.92mm. The secondary coils were then heat treated at 475$^{\circ}C$and 600$^{\circ}C$ for various heat treatment time ranging from 5 minutes to 36hours. The pitch distance, diameter and shape retention capability of the W embolization coils were characterized after the heat treatment. The pitch distance of the W embolization coils increased with the heat treatment time. The diameter of W emboliazation coils decreased continuously with heat treatment time. The shape retention capability of the W embolization coils increased with the heat treatment time due to an increase in elasticity by formation of tungsten oxide film on W coil surface during the heat treatment. The heat treatment condition of W embolization Col at 600$^{\circ}C$ for 20 minute was considered desirable based on the optimization of the shape retention capability, pitch distance and secondary coil diameter after heat treatment.

Wind energy is becoming one of the most preferable alternatives to conventional sources of electric power that rely on fossil fuels. For stable electric power generation, constant rotating speed control of a wind turbine is performed through pitch control and stall control of the turbine blades. Recently, variable pitch control has been implemented in modern wind turbines to harvest more energy at variable wind speeds that are even lower than the rated one. Although wind turbine pitch controllers are currently optimized using a step response via the Ziegler-Nichols auto-tuning process, this approach does not satisfy the requirements of variable pitch control. In this study, the variable pitch controller was optimized by a genetic algorithm using a neural network model that was constructed by the Latin Hypercube sampling method to improve the Ziegler-Nichols auto-tuning process. The optimized solution shows that the root mean square error, rise time, and settle time are respectively improved by more than 7.64%, 15.8%, and 15.3% compared with the corresponding initial solutions obtained by the Ziegler-Nichols auto-tuning process.
