In this paper, we proposed a method for acoustic echo cancellation based on independent component analysis. When the large acoustic noise is picked up by the microphone, the performance of echo cancellation decreased. We used two microphones that received echo signal which is linearly mixed with the noise, then separated the echo signals from the received signals with independent component analysis algorithm. The separated echo signal is used for the reference signal of adaptive algorithm which leads to better performance of the echo cancellation. Computer simulation results show the validity of the proposed method.

Slanted and chirp interdigital transducer(IDT) configurations were studied for generating the surface acoustic wave(SAW) with wide bandwidths on a piezoelectric substrate. These devices can be applied to manipulate optical path of light along the waveguide, ultimately used for optical switches and holographic image implementation. Prior to fabrication, the coupling of modes(COM) modeling and simulation were performed to extract optimal design parameters. The optimally designed wideband device showed wide bandwidth of 30MHz, low insertion loss of -25dB, and abrupt side suppression ratio (SSR). Several design conditions were determined during device implementation, such as slanted angle, aperture length, number of fingers, and central frequencies of IDTs. These factors were experimentally analyzed and described in details in this paper.

A system to assist call routing task for telephone operators at the Directorate General of Telecommunications (DGT) in Taiwan is reported in this paper. The system was developed based on DGT organization profile with description of its six divisions instead of a corpus of recorded and transcribed call-routing dialogs. An acoustic module and an information retrieval module were built specifically for this task. The construction of IR module was based on term extraction and thesaurus discovery processes. By integrating acoustic and IR module, the system achieves satisfactory performance and provides a promising approach to call routing. Simulation results indicated that the proposed algorithm outperforms standard classification methods. A working system based on the proposed approach has been implemented and experimental results are presented.

By virtue of recent economic development and cultural progress, the desires willing to enjoy a plentiful leisure life among people are on enlarging, then according to this, the demand for a grand performance hall where various cultural events are achievable is also on increasing. However, since the grand performance hall has its characteristics that must accommodate various forms of performances likely from lecture, meeting activity to recital, and because the clearness of sound is on emphasizing, and also it requires the repletion or abundance of sound simultaneously, it could be said that from the designing stage, a sufficient examination and plan with regard to the architectural acoustics design is indispensable. On such view point, for the object of the grand performance hall under actually planning to build, this Study is attempting to compare analyze on Room Acoustics Characteristics using computer simulation from the stage of design. It is considered that the material analyzed in such way could be reflected in maximum basis to the design of the performance hall that minimizes the acoustic defect at the designing step, and also it could be utilized as the useful material at the time of design for a similar form of performance hall in the future.

Even though Waterpower Generation as pollution-free has its own merit of contribution by supply of good quality electricity, due to the noise made at the time of its operation, a normal mutual communication among the workers and technicians engaging at the hydraulic turbine dynamo room is almost impossible, and since those finishing materials had been used mainly by reflection material, it is actual situation that when working for maintenance in the hydraulic turbine dynamo room, as counterpart's voice vibrates, its working efficiency is difficult to ensure. On such view point, this Research has conducted Psycho-acoustics Experiment about voice Definition using Auralizational Technique, on the object for the hydraulic turbine dynamo room that improved its acoustic performance by computer simulation. As the result of Study, it was known that the clearness of sound with regard to voice information transmission was apparently improved in all items than before improvement. Therefore, it is considering that these results would be utilized usefully when renovation on the hydraulic turbine dynamo room in the future.

Active noise control uses the intentional superposition of acoustic waves to create a destructive interference pattern such that a reduction of the unwanted sound occurs. In active noise control system the choice of a control structure and design of the controller are the main issues of concern. In real acoustic fields there are a vast number of noise sources with time-varying nature and the characteristics of transducers and the geometric set-up of control system are subject to change. Accordingly the control system should be designed to adapt such circumstances so that required level of performance is maintained. In this paper, the adaptive control algorithm for self-tuning adaptive controller is presented for the application in active noise control system. Self-tuning is a direct integration of identification and controller design algorithm in such a manner that the two processes proceed sequentially. The least mean square algorithm was used for the identification schemes and adaptive weighted minimum variance control algorithm was applied for self-tuning controller. Computer simulation results for self-tuning feedback controller are presented. And simulation results was shown to be useful for the situation in which the periodic noise sources act on the acoustic field.

Purpose: Focused ultrasound is an emerging technology for treating the brain locally in a noninvasive manner. In this study, we have investigated the influence of skull properties on simulating transcranial pressure field. Methods: A 3D computational model of transcranial focused ultrasound was constructed using female and male CT data to solve for intracranial pressure. For heterogeneous model, the acoustic properties were calculated from CT Hounsfield units based on a porosity. The homogeneous model assigned constant acoustic properties for the single-layered skull. Results: A computational model was validated against empirical data. The homogeneous models were then compared with the heterogeneous model, resulted in 10.87% and 7.19% differences in peak pressure for female and male models respectively. For the focal volume, homogeneous model demonstrated more than 94% overlap compared with the heterogeneous model. Conclusion: Homogeneous model can be constructed using MR images that are commonly used for the segmentation of the skull. We propose the possibility of the homogeneous model for the simulating transcranial pressure field owing to comparable focal volume between homogeneous model and heterogeneous model.

For a $CO_2$ one-stage twin rotary compressor, a T-shaped suction port was used to effectively supply the suction gas stream into two individual suction chambers of the twin cylinders. Suction gas pulsations were observed in the pressure sensor signals and these were simulated by using the acoustic modeling of Helmholz resonators in parallel. The module of acoustic modeling was combined to a computer simulation program for the compressor performance. Validation of the simulation program has been carried out for a bench model compressor in a compressor calorimeter. Cooling capacity and the compressor input power were reasonably well compared between the simulation and the calorimeter test. Particularly, good agreement on P-V diagram between the simulation and the test was obtained.
