Diadochokinesis (DDK) aims to identify the evaluating the oral mitor ability and the moter coordination ability. There are few DDK normative data on elementary school students in Korea, The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the speed and regularity of DDK in first- and second-grade students in elementary school. The subjects were a total of 194 students in first- (45 males, 50 females) and second-grade (47 males, 52 females) in elementary schools in Gwangju Metropolitan City. As evaluation tasks, AMR task 'p?', 't?', and 'k?' and SMR task 'p?t?k?' were performed. The speed and regularity of DDK was measured using Motor speech profile (Model 5141, KayPENTAX) and Praat (v6.0.3.6). The results of this study, First, there was a statistically significant difference by grade in AMR speed for 'p?', 't?', and 'k?' and the AMR speed was faster in second grade group. And, there was no statistically significant. Second, AMR regularity showed a statistically significant difference in 'p?', 't?', and 'k?' according to sex and was found to be more regular in female student group. There was no significant difference in regularity by grade. Third, the SMR speed showed statistically significant difference in 'p?t?k?' by grade and was faster in second grade group. And there was no statistically significant difference by sex. The results of this study showed that the DDK performance ability in first- and second-grade students in elementary school was slightly different according to grade and sex. In future research, it is necessary to investigate the correlation between the articulation accuracy and linguistic intelligibility, and to find out the usefulness of DDK in articulation evaluation.

We propose a new method to reduce the complexity of excitation codebook search. The preselected excitation pulses by the coarse search method can be updated to pulses with higher quality performance measure. The excitation pulses can arbitrarily be deleted and inserted among the searched pulses until the overall performance achieves. If we use this excitation pulse search method in AMR-WB, the complexity required for excitation codebook search can be reduced to half the original method while the output speech maintains equal speech quality to a conventional method.

In this paper, we efficiently implement the AMR speech coder by reducing the complexity of algebraic codebook search. To reduce the computational complexity of the algebraic codebook search, we propose a fast algebraic codebook search method that improves conventional depth first tree search method used in AMR speech coder algorithm. The proposed method reduces the search complexity by pruning the trees which are less possible to be selected as an optimum excitation. This method needs no additional computation for selecting the trees to be pruned and reduces the computational complexity considerably compared to the original depth first tree search method with slightly degradation or speech qualify. Applying our method to the implementation or AMR speech coder with 12.2 kbps mode by using the TeakLite DSP, we reduce the search complexity about 40% compared to the conventional method.

This paper presents an analysis of the AMR speech data as a basic work to study the technique of inputting and transmitting AMR voice data which is widely used in the public cell phone. AMR consists of HEADER and Speech Data, and it is transmitted in bit format and has 8 bit-rate modes in total. HEADER contains mode information of Speech Data, and the length of Speech Data differs depending on the mode. We chose the best mode which is best to input into QR code and analyzed that mode. It is a goal to show a higher compression ratio for voice data by the analysis and experiments. This analysis shows improvement in that it can transmit voice data more effectively.

An AMR(Adaptive Multi-Rate) speech coding algorithm has been adopted as a standard speech codec for IMT-2000. It is based on the algebraic CELP, and consists of eight speech coding modes having the bit rate from 4.75 kbit/s to 12.2 kbit/s. It also contains the VAD(Voice Activity Detector), SCR (Source Controlled Rate) operation, and error concealment scheme for robustness in a radio channel. The bit rate of AMR is changed on a frame basis depending on the channel condition. In this paper, we introduced AMR speech coding algorithm and performed the real-time implementation using TMS320C6201, i.e., a Texas Instrument's fixed-point DSP. With the ANSI C source code released from ETSI and 3GPP, we convert and optimize the program to make it run in real time using the C compiler and assembly language. It is verified that the decoded result of the implemented speech codec on the DSP is identical with the PC simulation result using ANSI C code for test sequences. Also, actual sound input/output test using microphone and speaker demonstrates its proper real-time operation without distortions or delays.

본 논문에서는 AMR(Adaptive Multi-Rate)과 MLT (Modulated Lapped Transform) 벡터 양자화 방법을 이용하여 광대역 음성부호화기를 설계하였다. 제안한 음성부호화 알고리즘은 split-band 구조를 가지고 있으며 16kHz로 샘플링 된 신호를 입력받아 QMF 필터에 의해 두 개의 대역으로 나누어, 각각 8kHz 샘플링 신호로 변환시킨 후 저대역(0Hz-3400Hz)의 신호와 고대역(3400Hz -7000Hz)의 신호로 나누어 각각 부호화한다. 나누어진 두 개의 협대역 음성신호는 AMR(Adaptive Multi-Rate)부호화기와 MLT (Modulated Lapped Transform)벡터 양자화 방법을 사용하여 각각 부호화되어 전송된다. 수신단에서는 각 대역을 AMR과 IMLT(Inverse MLT) 벡터 양자화 방법으로 역부호화하여 음성신호를 합성한다. 제안한 음성부호화기는 20.2kbps에서 12.15kbps까지의 다전송률로 동작된다. 설계된 광대역 음성부호화기는 MOS시험 결과로부터 G.722의 56 kbps 음성이 설계된 코더의 20.2 kbps와 비슷한 음질을 갖음을 확인할 수 있었다.

A navigation sensor system for outdoor AGV(Automatic Guided Vehicle) using AMR(Anisotropic Magnetoresitive) sensors is described. We derive a formula of the position of AMR sensor using the measured magnetic field intensity due to permanent magnet with constant distance. The system consists of sensor board. sensor control board and position processing board. The sensor board measures magnetic field intensity, the sensor control board controls the measurement of six sensors sequentially, and the position processing board computes the accurate position of the permanent magnet using Least Square Method. We arranged six sensors at intervals of 30cm and measured the position of the permanent magnet moving at intervals of 30cm. Experimental results showed that we can get standard deviation of 2mm and error of &\pm&4.5mm at a height of 20cm from the permanent magnet.

Low Back Pain Prescriptions of Jin, sa tak are peculiar to using Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma(AMR). All low back pain prescriptions which are enlisted in Byunjeunggimoon, Byunjeungrok and Byunjeungokham include AMR. Whereas low back pain prescriptions which is enlisted in Seoksilbirok are 7 of 10. Preexistence of low back pain prescriptions are not necessarily used AMR. But Jin, sa tak who lived at Ming and Ching era presented AMR in low back pain treatment. AMR is able to get rid of dampness between the kidney functional area and umbilicus. The results are as follows : It is made much of the malicious dampness which is in the kidney. There are not used cold but warm and eliminating dampness herbs to invigorate kidney. It shows that Jin, sa tak who was a Taoist used invigorating and warming kidney herbs. Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma is mainly used in treating low back pain from Jin, sa tak. Jin, sa tak shows concrete prognosis to treat a disease.

This letter proposes a new embedded speech coding structure based on the Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) standard codec. The proposed coding scheme consists of three different bitrates where the two lower bitrates are embedded into the highest one. The embedded bitstream was achieved by modifying the algebraic codebook search procedure adopted for the AMR-WB codec. The proposed method provides the advantage of scalability due to the embedded bitstream, while it inevitably requires some additional computational complexity for obtaining two different code vectors of the higher bitrate modes. Compared to the AMR-WB codec, the embedded coder shows improved speech qualities for two higher bitrate modes with a slightly increased bitrate caused by the decreased coding efficiency of the algebraic codebook.
