In this work, we have prepared the filter papers with the pitch-based activated carbon fibers and the binder fibers using wet-laid process. The influence of the binder fiber on the porosity of the filter papers has been investigated by using nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). As a result, the specific surface area has increased with an decrease in the content of binder fiber. It has been shown that the optimum ratio of pitch-based activated carbon fibers and the binder fibers is 70:30, resulting in high porosity, excellent bonding strength, large specific surface area ($650.4m^2/g$) and high noxious gas removal efficiency (86.9%). In addition, it has been observed that the mean pore size distribution of the fiber papers has not been affected by the binder fiber.

This paper presents a scheme for experimentally analyzing bounce, roll and pitch frequencies of major systems of a large truck using a multi-axial road simulator. The excitation input (amplitude and frequency range) fur a frequency response test with the multi-axial road simulator is selected in order that bounce, roll and pitch modes are not coupled each other, the excitation amplitude can be reproduced in a specified excitation frequency range, and tires do not lose contact with posters. Three accelerometers, one gyroscope and four displacement meters are used in the frequency response test using the multi-axial road simulator. The reliability of the presented bounce mode frequency response test scheme is validated by comparing the result from a test using the multi-axial road simulator with the result from a road driving test. The road driving test is performed with velocities of 20km/h and 30km/h, and in an unladen state. The vertical accelerations at the cab and the front axle are measured in the road driving test. The roll and pitch mode frequency response tests are also performed with the presented frequency response test scheme. Roll and pitch frequencies of major systems of a large truck that are hard to acquire from a road driving test are analyzed as well as bounce frequency.

A corpus-based lip sync algorithm for synthesizing natural face animation is proposed in this paper. To get the lip parameters, some marks were attached some marks to the speaker's face, and the marks' positions were extracted with some Image processing methods. Also, the spoken utterances were labeled with HTK and prosodic information (duration, pitch and intensity) were analyzed. An audio-visual corpus was constructed by combining the speech and image information. The basic unit used in our approach is syllable unit. Based on this Audio-visual corpus, lip information represented by mark's positions was synthesized. That is. the best syllable units are selected from the audio-visual corpus and each visual information of selected syllable units are concatenated. There are two processes to obtain the best units. One is to select the N-best candidates for each syllable. The other is to select the best smooth unit sequences, which is done by Viterbi decoding algorithm. For these process, the two distance proposed between syllable units. They are a phonetic environment distance measure and a prosody distance measure. Computer simulation results showed that our proposed algorithm had good performances. Especially, it was shown that pitch and intensity information is also important as like duration information in lip sync.

In this paper, a novel transcoding algorithm for the G.729A and the Selectable Mode Vocoder(SMV) vocoders via direct parameter transformation is proposed. In contrast to the conventional tandem transcoding algorithm, the proposed algorithm converts the parameters of one coder to the other without going through the decoding and encoding processes. In transcoder from SMV to G.729A, LSP conversion algorithm, pitch delay conversion algorithm and transcoding algorithm in lower rate are proposed, and in transcoder from G.729A to SMV, LSP conversion algorithm, pitch delay conversion algorithm and rate selection algorithm are proposed. Evaluation results show that while exhibiting better computational and delay characteristics, the proposed algorithm produces equivalent or Improved speech quality to that produced by the tandem transcoding algorithm.

In this paper, the Classification of Energy Labeling has been proposed. Energy parameters of input signal which are extracted from each phoneme are labelled. And groups of labelling according to detected energies of input signals are detected. Next. DTW processes in a selected group of labeling. This leads to DTW processing faster than a previous algorithm. In this Method, because an accurate detection of parameters is necessary on the assumption in steps of a detection of speeching duration and a detection of energy parameters, variable windows which are decided by pitch period are used. A pitch period is detected firstly : next window scale is decided between 200 frames and 300 frames. The proposed method makes it possible to cancel an influence of windows and reduces the computational complexity by $25\%$.

Defocused Fourier plane holograms are stored in disk-type holographic memories where thin recording media are used, the areal storage density per hologram and the intensity uniformity of the signal beam at the recording plane are studied. As the pixel pitch of the spatial light modulator that represents binary data increases, the storage density per hologram increases if exact Fourier holograms are stored. When defocused Fourier plane holograms are stored, however, we show that there exists an optimal pixel pitch that maximizes the area storage density per hologram in general, to increase the areal storage density per hologram, f/# of the Fourier transform lens that focuses the data image should be as small as possible. In this case, not only the intensity distribution at the recording plane but also the recording area becomes very sensitive to the degree of defocusing. Therefore, even if the exact Fourier plane holograms are stored, the defocusing effect owing to the medium thickness should be taken into account to achieve the maximal areal storage density per hologram.logram.

Ultrasonic C-scan technique is one of very popular techniques being used for detection of flaws in polymer matrix composite(PMC). However, the application of this technique is very limited for evaluation of defects in PMC fabricated by the automated fiber placement process. The purpose of this study is to develop a novel ultrasonic hybrid system based on nondestructive and non-contact ultrasonic techniques for evaluation of delamination in carbon/epoxy and carbon/PPS composite laminates. It was shown that the newly developed ultrasonic hybrid system based on dual air-coupled pitch-catch technique with ultrasonic scattering reflection concept could provide excellent image with higher resolution of delamination in PMC compared with the conventional pitch-catch method. It is expected that this ultrasonic hybrid technique can be applied for on-line inspection of flaws in PMC during the fabrication process.

모바일 정보통신기기를 중심으로 전자패키지의 초소형화, 고집적화를 위해 플립칩 공법의 적용이 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 플립칩 패키징 접합소재로는 솔더, ICA(Isotropic Conductive Adhesive), ACA(Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive), NCA(Non Conductive Adhesive) 등과 같은 다양한 접합소재가 사용되고 있다. 최근에는 언더필을 사용하는 플립칩 공법보다 미세피치 대응성을 위해 NCP를 이용한 플립칩 공법에 대한 요구가 증가되고 있는데, NCP의 상용화를 위해서는 공정성과 함께 신뢰성 확보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 LDI(LCD drive IC) 모듈을 위한 COF(Chip-on-Film) 플립칩 패키징용 NCP 포뮬레이션을 개발하고 이를 적용한 COF 패키지의 신뢰성을 조사하였다. 테스트베드는 면적 $1.2{\times}0.9mm$, 두께 $470{\mu}m$, 접속피치 $25{\mu}m$의 Au범프가 형성된 플리칩 실리콘다이와 접속패드가 Sn으로 finish된 폴리이미드 재질의 flexible 기판을 사용하였다. NCP는 에폭시 레진과 산무수물계 경화제, 이미다졸계 촉매제를 사용하여 다양하게 포뮬레이션을 하였다. DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimeter), TGA(Thermogravimetric Analysis), DEA(Dielectric Analysis) 등의 열분석장비를 이용하여 NCP의 물성과 경화거동을 확인하였으며, 본딩 후에는 보이드를 평가하고 Peel 강도를 측정하였다. 최적의 공정으로 제작된 COF 패키지에 대한 HTS (High Temperature Stress), TC (Thermal Cycling), PCT (Pressure Cooker Test)등의 신뢰성 시험을 수행한 결과 양산 적용 가능 수준의 신뢰성을 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents the efficiency of a floating vertical axis wind turbine with variable-pitch. A model was designed to use the lift force and drag force for blades with various pitch angles. The blade's pitch angle is controlled by the stopper. To validate the efficiency of the wind turbine discussed in this paper, a model test was carried out through a single model efficiency experiment and wave tank experiment. The parameters of the single model efficiency experiment were the wind speed, electronic load, and pitch angle. The wave tank experiment was performed using the most efficient pitch angle from the results of the single model efficiency experiment. According to the results of the wave tank experiment, the surge and pitch motion of a structure slightly affect the efficiency of a wind turbine, but the heave motion has a large effect because the heights of the wind turbine and wind generator are almost the same.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the pull-out capacity characteristics of screw anchor piles. Theoretical background of screw anchor pile (SAP) was first discussed. A series of reduced-scale model tests were performed on a number of cases with different SAP geometries such as pitch and diameter of screw as well as relative density of the model ground. The applicability of the pull-out capacity prediction equations were also examined based on the test results. It was shown that the pitch of screw has negligible effect on the pull-out capacity, while the diameter of screw has relatively large effect on pull-out capacity under a given condition. Practical implications of the findings from this study are discussed in great detail.
