In this paper, a terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) multichannel audio broadcasting system based on spatial audio coding is presented. The proposed system provides realistic multichannel audio service via T-DMB with a small increase of data rate as well as backward compatibility with the conventional stereo-based T-DMB player. To reduce the data rate for additional multichannel audio signals, we compress the multichannel audio signals using the sound source location cue coding algorithm, which is an efficient parametric multichannel audio compression technique. For compatibility, we use the dependent property of an elementary stream descriptor, and this property should be ignored in a conventional T-DMB player. To verify the feasibility of the proposed system, we implement the T-DMB multichannel audio encoder and a prototype player. We perform a compatibility test using the T-DMB multichannel audio encoder and conventional T-DMB players. The test demonstrates that the proposed system is compatible with a conventional T-DMB player and that it can provide a promisingly rich audio service.

본 연구에서는 융합 시대를 맞이하여 국내 수출에 영향을 미치는 지표들을 찾고자 금리와 원/달러, 원/엔, 원/위안화를 선정하였다. 지난 2000년 1월 이후 210개월 동안 상관관계와 회귀분석, 지표분석, 모형분석 등을 시도하였다. 분석결과 상관분석에서는 수출이 원/달러, 원/위안화, 원/엔 환율과 음(-)의 관계를 보여 서로 방향성이 다르게 나타났다. 회귀분석에서는 수출에 대해 금리와 원/달러만 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. Coefficient가 금리는 양(+)의 값으로, 원/달러는 음(-)의 값으로 산출되었다. 원/달러 하락이 수출 증가에 긍정적으로 작용하는 것으로 추정되었다. 본 연구에서 원/달러 환율이 하락하면 수출이 증가하는 것으로 나타나 기존 선행연구와 다르게 나타났다. 그래서 시간차에 의한 선후행 관계를 다시 살펴볼 필요성이 제기되었다. 우리나라는 수출에 대한 의존도가 높은 편이다. 따라서 수출 증가를 위해 수출에 영향을 미치는 지표들에 관한 연구가 지속되어야 할 것이다.

In this paper, we present a walking guidance system for the visually impaired for use at subway stations. This system, which is based on environmental knowledge, automatically detects and recognizes both exit numbers and arrow signs from natural outdoor scenes. The visually impaired can, therefore, utilize the system to find their own way (for example, using exit numbers and the directions provided) through a subway station. The proposed walking guidance system consists mainly of three stages: (a) sign detection using the MCT-based AdaBoost technique, (b) sign recognition using support vector machines and hidden Markov models, and (c) three verification techniques to discriminate between signs and non-signs. The experimental results indicate that our sign recognition system has a high performance with a detection rate of 98%, a recognition rate of 99.5%, and a false-positive error rate of 0.152.

This work reports the preparation of ceramic hybrid films with illite-polyethylene composites analyzed as a function of concentration of added illite in polyethylene. The enhancement of oxygen and water-vapor transmission rate of illite-polyethylene film was evaluated to determine its influence on the freshness in fruit packaging. Particle size of illite materials was controlled in the range of 1~10 ㎛ and then mixed with LDPE to form the masterbatch. Ceramic hybrid films were prepared through a blown film making process. To determine the dispersity and abundancy of illite materials in the polyethylene matrix, various characterizations of illite-PE hybrid masterbatch and films were performed using SEM, TGA, and FT-IR. The oxygen and water-vapor transmission rate of illite-polyethylene film was found to be two times higher than that of LDPE film.

The convergence rate of a numerical procedure based on Schwarz Alternating Method (SAM) for solving elliptic boundary value problems depends on the selection of the interface conditions applied on the interior boundaries of the overlapping subdomains. It has been observed that the Robin condition (mixed interface condition), controlled by a parameter, can optimize SAM's convergence rate. In [8], one formulated the twolayer multi-parameterized SAM and determined the optimal values of the multi-parameters to produce the best convergence rate for one-dimensional elliptic boundary value problems. Two-dimensional implementation was presented in [10]. In this paper, we present an implementation for threedimensional problem.

본 논문에서는 W-CDMA에서 사용 무선 중계기에서 사용 가능한 간섭신호 제거 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 기존의 방법인 1개의 긴 필터를 이용하여 간섭신호를 제거하는 알고리즘 대신 여러 개의 짧은 병렬형 필터를 이용하여 수렴속도를 줄일 수 있음을 분석하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 실제 성능 시험 조건 하에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존 방법보다 수렴 속도가 빨라짐을 확인하였다.

This paper presents digital hearing aids signal processing system in WT(wavelet transform) domain. For implementation of hearing aids in WT domain, the gain in frequency domain is approximated in WT domain. We also present the gain selection algorithm to deal with the change of input signal power. Most transform methods produce blocking effect, and this effect degrades the convergence rate of feedback canceller. As a solution, we proposed wavelet transform bascd feedback canceller. To evaluate the performance, we compared it with LOT (lapped orthogonal transform) method in the frequency domain. This system has not shown the blocking effect, and improves convergence rate as compared with the LOT based feedback canceller.

The effect of carbon doping contents on the microstructure, hardness, and corrosion properties of heat-treated AISI steel grades of plain carbon steel was investigated in this study. Various microstructures including coarse ferrite-pearlite, fine ferrite-pearlite, martensite, and bainite were developed by different heat treatments i.e. annealing, normalizing, quenching, and austempering, respectively. The developed microstructures, micro-hardness, and corrosion properties were investigated by a light optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, electromechanical (Vickers Hardness tester), and electrochemical (Gamry Potentiostat) equipment, respectively. The highest corrosion rates were observed in bainitic microstructures (2.68-12.12 mpy), whereas the lowest were found in the fine ferritic-pearlitic microstructures (1.57-6.36 mpy). A direct correlation has been observed between carbon concentration and corrosion rate, i.e. carbon content resulted in an increase in corrosion rate (2.37 mpy for AISI 1020 to 9.67 mpy for AISI 1050 in annealed condition).
