The goal of our research is to build a text-independent speaker identification system that can be used in any condition without any additional adaptation process. The performance of speaker recognition systems can be severely degraded in some unknown mismatched microphone and noise conditions. In this paper, we show that PCA(principal component analysis) can improve the performance in the situation. We also propose an augmented PCA process, which augments class discriminative information to the original feature vectors before PCA transformation and selects the best direction for each pair of highly confusable speakers. The proposed method reduced the relative recognition error by 21%.

The extinction behavior and the unsteady response of augmented reduced mechanism(ARM) have been investigated by adopting an OPPDIF code and a numerical solver for the flamelet equations. By comparing the performance of the ARM based on Miller and Bowman's mechanism(MB-ARM) with that of the ARM based on GRI-Mech 3.0(GRI-3.0-ARM), it is identified that the MB-ARM is more suitable for the unsteady calculation because it is relatively less stiff than GRI-3.0-ARM during an ignition process. The steady results using the MB-ARM, which is modified to predict reasonably the extinction point of experiment, are in excellent agreement with those from full mechanism. Under the sinusoidal transient disturbances of scalar dissipation rate, the unsteady responses of the flame temperature and species concentrations using a modified MB-ARM show in very close agreement with those from full mechanism. It is presumed that above modified MB-ARM is very suitable for the unsteady simulation of turbulent flames because it gives not only a low computational cost but also a good prediction performance for flame structure, extinction point and unsteady response.

This paper discusses details of modeling and robust control of an AMB (active magnetic bearing) spindle, and part I presents a modeling and validation process of the AMB spindle. There are many components in AMB spindle : electromagnetic actuator, sensor, rotor, power amplifier and digital controller. If each component is carefully modeled and evaluated, the components have tight structured uncertainty bounds and achievable performance of the system increases. However, since some unknown dynamics may exist and the augmented plant could show some discrepancy with the real plant, the validation of the augmented plant is needed through measuring overall frequency responses of the actual plant. In addition, it is necessary to combine several components and identify them with a reduced order model. First, all components of the AMB spindle are carefully modeled and identified based on experimental data, which also render valuable information in quantifying structured uncertainties. Since sensors, power amplifiers and discretization dynamics can be considered as time delay components, such dynamics are combined and identified with a reduced order. Then, frequency responses of the open-loop plant are measured through closed-loop experiments to validate the augmented plant. The whole modeling process gives an accurate nominal model of a low order for the robust control design.

This paper presents the modeling and multivariable feedback control of a novel high-precision multi-dimensional positioning stage. This integrated 6-degree-of-freedom. (DOF) motion stage is levitated by three aerostatic bearings and actuated by 3 three-phase synchronous permanent-magnet planar motors (SPMPMs). It can generate all 6-DOF motions with only a single moving part. With the DQ decomposition theory, this positioning stage is modeled as a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) electromechanical system with six inputs (currents) and six outputs (displacements). To achieve high-precision positioning capability, discrete-time integrator-augmented linear-quadratic-regulator (LQR) and reduced-order linearquadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control methodologies are applied. Digital multivariable controllers are designed and implemented on the positioning system, and experimental results are also presented in this paper to demonstrate the stage's dynamic performance.

The heating system of korea apartment house is called Ondol. The surface finishing mortar of this floor system typically used the cement based mortar, where the surface finishing mortar easily appears the crack. To order to crack control, the cement that added expansive additive used to reducing dry-shrinkage. For the surface finishing mortar, the types of shrinkage is known as plastic shrinkage, dry-shrinkage and autogenous This experimental study is to investigate the difference on dry-shrinkage of the cement that added expansive additives and OPC. The test method is varied the ration of water/cement (W/C) and the ratio of sand/cement(S/C). For OPC, The increase of the ratio of S/C is reduced dry-shirnkage but for the cement that added expansive additives, the increase of the ratio of S/C is augmented dry-shrinkage For OPC, The increase of the ratio of W/C is augmented dry-shrinkage but for the cement that added expensive, the increased of the ratio of W/C is reduced dry-shrinkage.

Purpose: This report presents the first known use of a rigid endoscope with augmented reality technology for the removal of an odontogenic cyst that penetrated the maxillary sinus and illustrates its practical use in a patient. Materials and Methods: In the preoperative period, cone-beam computed tomography was performed in a specially designed marker holder frame, and the contours of the cyst and the nearest anatomical formations were segmented in the 3D Slicer program. During the operation, a marker was installed on the patient's head, as well as on the tip of the endoscope, which made it possible to visualize the mass and the movement of the endoscope. The surgical intervention was performed with the support of augmented reality in HoloLens glasses (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA). Results: The use of this technology improved the accuracy of surgical manipulations, reduced operational risks, and shortened the time of surgery and the rehabilitation period. Conclusion: With the help of modern technologies, a navigation system was created that helped to track the position of the endoscope in mixed reality in real time, as well as to fully visualize anatomical formations.

Objective : The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of bone cement-augmented percutaneous short segment fixation for treating Kummell's disease accompanied by severe osteoporosis. Methods : From 2009 to 2013, ten patients with single-level Kummell's disease accompanied by severe osteoporosis were enrolled in this study. After postural reduction for 1-2 days, bone cement-augmented percutaneous short segment fixation was performed at one level above, one level below, and at the collapsed vertebra. Clinical results, radiological parameters, and related complications were assessed preoperatively and at 1 month and 12 months after surgery. Results : Prior to surgery, the mean pain score on the visual analogue scale was $8.5{\pm}1.5$. One month after the procedure, this score improved to $2.2{\pm}2.0$ and the improvement was maintained at 12 months after surgery. The mean preoperative vertebral height loss was $48.2{\pm}10.5%$, and the surgical procedure reduced this loss to $22.5{\pm}12.4%$. In spite of some recurrent height loss, significant improvement was achieved at 12 months after surgery compared to preoperative values. The kyphotic angle improved significantly from $22.4{\pm}4.9^{\circ}$ before the procedure to $10.1{\pm}3.8^{\circ}$ after surgery and the improved angle was maintained at 12 months after surgery despite a slight correction loss. No patient sustained adjacent fractures after bone cement-augmented percutaneous short segment fixation during the follow-up period. Asymptomatic cement leakage into the paravertebral area was observed in one patient, but no major complications were seen. Conclusion : Bone cement-augmented percutaneous short segment fixation can be an effective and safe procedure for Kummell's disease.

Objective : We evaluated the validity of bone cement-augmented percutaneous screw fixation for treating malignant spinal metastases. Methods : Between 2011 and 2015, 14 patients (eight men and six women) who underwent bone cement-augmented percutaneous screw fixation for malignant spinal metastases were enrolled in this study. Their life expectancy was considered to be more than one month and less than one year, based on the revised Tokuhashi scoring system. Clinical findings including the back pain scale score, functional outcome, procedure related complications, and survival were assessed preoperatively, postoperatively, and then six months after the procedure. Results : Twelve of the patients (86%) survived up to six months after the procedure. Three required mini-open decompressive laminectomy for severe epidural compression. Bone cement-augmented percutaneous screw fixation was performed one level above, one level below, and at the pathologic level itself. The mean operation time was 60 minutes (45-180) and blood loss was less than 100 mL. Prior to surgery, the mean pain score on the visual analogue scale was 8.8, while one month after the procedure, it had reduced to 3.0; this improvement was maintained until the six-month assessment in the surviving patients. All patients were able to sit within the first two days after surgery, and no patient experienced neurological deterioration at the one-month follow up after the surgery. No patient experienced screw loosening during the six months of follow-up. Asymptomatic cement leakage into the epidural space was observed in two patients, but no major complications were observed. Conclusion : For selected patients with malignant spinal metastases, bone cement-augmented percutaneous screw fixation can provide significant pain relief and improve quality of life.

디지로그 북(Digilog book)은 기존 서적과 디지털 콘텐츠을 융합함으로써, 아날로그적 감성과 디지털 오감을 함께 제공하는 증강현실기반 차세대 출판물이다. 디지로그 북을 저작할 수 있는 저작 소프트웨어인 아틀렛(ARtalet)은 증강현실 환경에서 3 차원 사용자 인터페이스를 이용한 직관적인 In-Situ 저작 환경을 제공한다. 본 논문은 디지로그 북에 증강된 3D 객체에 이동 경로를 생성하고 조작 할 수 있는, 아틀렛 저작 환경 기반의 이동 궤적 편집 기법을 제안한다. 구체적으로 이동 궤적의 조정점(Control point)을 적절히 할당하기 위해서 3차원 조작도구의 이동 좌표에 대하여 조정점 할당 검사를 한다. 그리고 부드러운 곡선 형태로 이동 궤적을 복원하기 위해서 스플라인을 이용한 보간 과정을 수행한다. 또한 작고 밀집된 이동 궤적의 조정점을 효과적으로 선택하기 위해서 동적 스코어(Score)를 기반으로 한 조정점 선택 방법을 적용한다. 실험 결과 제안한 방법은 기존 방법에 비해 오차와 완료시간은 유의한 차이가 없었지만, 조정점의 수를 약 90% 이상 감소시킬 수 있었다. 이것은 매우 적은 수의 조정점만으로도 이동궤적을 복원할 수 있으며 추후 이동 궤적 조작에 필요한 조정점의 조작 횟수를 대폭 줄일 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 제안한 방법은 기존의 조정점 조작 방법에 비해 상대적으로 적은 손과 팔의 움직임만으로도 빠르게 이동 궤적의 형태를 변경 할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안한 3D 객체의 이동 궤적 편집 방법은 몰입형 In-Situ 증강현실 환경의 교육, 게임, 디자인, 애니메이션, 시뮬레이션 등의 분야에서 드로잉 또는 곡선 편집 방법으로 응용될 수 있다.
