After modeling an aircraft turboprop engine using SIMULINK$\circledR$, performance simulation of PT6A-62 engine, which is main power plant of KT-1, was performed. For validation, performance parameters of the SIMULIINK model were compared with the simulated results by GASTURB program. It was confirm that the results by the SIMULINK model were well agreed with those by GASTURB within 1.07%, It was assumed that installation losses were bleed-air exteraction with a range from 0% to 5%, and power for accessories with a range from 0 to 20hp. In this investigation, it was found that the shafthorsepower was decreased by maxium 0.68%, but specific fuel consumption ratio was not effected nearly by these losses.

In this paper, a dynamic model is proposed for multi-axis optical structure of an aircraft. Modal analysis, sine-wave analysis, and random vibration analysis are done using a multi-body dynamic program for the multi-axis optical structure. By applying Al 6061-T6 and two types of CFRP to the camera module, x, y, and z responses are found and compared according to each axis excitation. The results will be used for reducing the weight of the camera module.

Most serious stroke patients have the paralysis on their wrists, and can't use their hands freely. But their wrists can be recovered by rehabilitation exercises. Recently, professional rehabilitation therapeutists help stroke patients exercise their wrists in hospital. But it is difficult for them to rehabilitate their wrists, because the therapeutists are much less than stroke patients in number. Therefore, the wrist twist-exercise rehabilitation robot that can measure the twist force of the patients' wrists is needed and developed. In this paper, the six-axis force/moment sensor was designed appropriately for the robot. As a test result, the interference error of the six-axis force/moment sensor was less than 0.85%. It is thought that the sensor can be used to measure the wrist twist force of the patient.

Among the biometrics, signature shows more larger variation than the other biometrics such as fingerprint and iris. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a robust offline signature verification method based on PCA and LDA. Signature is projected to vertical and horizontal axes by new grid partition method. And then feature extraction and decision is performed by PCA and LDA. Experimental results show that the proposed offline signature verification has lower False Reject Rate(FRR) and False Acceptance Rate(FAR) which are 1.45% and 2.1%, respectively.

Stroke patients can't use their hands because of the paralysis of their fingers. Their fingers are recovered by rehabilitating training, and the rehabilitating extent can be judged by grasping a spherical object. At present, the used object in hospital is only a spherical object, and can't measure the force of fingers. Therefore, doctors judge the rehabilitating extent by touching and watching at their fingers. So, the spherical object measuring system which can measure the force of their fingers should be developed. In this paper, the finger-force measuring system with a six-axis force/moment sensor which can measure the spherical-object grasping force is developed. The six-axis force/moment sensor was designed and fabricated, and the force measuring device was designed and manufactured using DSP (digital signal processing). Also, the grasping force test of men was performed using the developed finger-force measuring system, it was confirmed that the average force of men was about 120N.

In this paper, the structure of a gravity compensator(GC) was studied, and the 6-axis robot manipulator which is newly developed by applying the GC is presented to improve the torque performance and repeatability error of the robot joint. The kinematics analysis on the robot was presented. Also, experiments of the performance of the joint actuator of robot adopting the gravity compensator were presented by the GC to $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ joints of the robot arm. According to the experiment results, it was validated that the position errors and load torque of the robot joint actuator adopting the GC are reduced significantly.

This paper presents vibration analyses of hard disk drive (HDD) spindle systems based on the finite element method. The systems under investigation have a cantilevered shaft rotating on hydrodynamic bearings. In particular, the influence of stator's flexibility on major modes has been taken into account in dual ways lumped and distributed-parameter model approfches. Even the latter employs relatively macroscopic elements instead of extremely fine ones Popular in commercial codes. In order to prove the effectiveness of such formulated models, two types of HDD prototypes featuring different hub and stator structures are selected as examples. Compared to the first, the second type has a reinforced stator that would raise the natural frequency of the hub's translational (or sideway) mode. Both free and forced vibration characteristics are computed, and subsequently compared with the experimental data. It is our conclusion that Particularly the Proposed distributed model method is an efficient design tool for state-of-the-art HDD spindle systems.

A performance of CNC 3-axis pipe profile-cutting machine we developed was evaluated by measuring and verifying a positioning accuracy of its feeding unit and a cutting shape accuracy of pipe workpiece. The positioning accuracy was verified by comparing moving distance actuated by PLC motion controller with actual one measured by a laser interferometer. The cutting shape accuracy was also verified by comparing a cutting shape obtained through scanning and 3D modeling the pipe workpiece with that through CL data.

We proposed a novel temperature sensor based on the phenomena that the phase difference between principal polarization states in an optical retarder is a function of temperature. The polarization state of an optical beam is changed as it passes through the optical retarder, with the change dependent on the temperature. The temperature of the optical retarder is determined by comparison of the power difference between principal polarization states. A temperature sensor was successfully implemented using a polarization maintaining fiber of length 100 mm as the optical retarder. The change rate of phase difference on temperature was 0.236$^{\circ}C$$_{-1}$ and the measurement error was $\pm$0.038$^{\circ}C$ over the temperature region of -2.6$^{\circ}C$~3.4$^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, real-time voice change method using pitch change technique is proposed to change one's voice to the other voice. For this purpose, sampling rate change method using DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) method and time scale modification method using SOLA (Synchronized Overlap and Add) method is combined to change pitch. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, voice transformation experiments were conducted. Experimental results showed that original speech signal is changed to the other speech signal in which original speaker's identity is difficult to find. The system is implemented using TI TMS320C6711DSK board to verify the system runs in real time.
