Personal identification using fingerprints needs much calculational effort. Generally, there are various methods for fingerprint-based identification. In this paper, an identification method is proposed which is based on direction distribution of fingerprint ridges. An 8-directional Gabor filter bank is used for extracting the feature vector from the given fingerprint. Then, it is compared with those of registered fingerprints for matching. This method is simple and fast to implement because it uses the information of ridge directions only. An experiment on 532 fingerprints from NIST database and some other source shows its usefulness.

Fuel cell power system is one of the most promising energy source for the alternative energy because it has unique advantages such as high energy density, no power drop during operation, and feasible to make compact size. However, due to very low response time, fuel cell is difficult to correspond to drastic load changes and start-up operation. For solving these problem, fuel cell power system must include energy storage device such as Li-Poly battery or super capacitor. Therefore, bi-directional DC-DC converter must be required for this storage device and fuel cell-PCS control. This paper presents a design and modeling of the bi-directional DC/DC converter. Firstly, we present modeling the boost and buck mode of the bi-directional converter through both PWM switch model and state space averaging technique. Secondly, in order to minimize output ripple and transient response overshoot, we have two identical DC-DC converters interleaved and adopt two-loop voltage-current controller. The proposed bi-directional DC-DC converter's modeling method and control design have been verified with computer simulation and experimentation.

For computer aided design and costruction of low noisy power plants, indoor and outdoor noise prediction program has been developed. The program utilizes the predefined data of noise sources and building materials and has the faculty to estimate the source level using the empirical formula in case of the measured data not being available. In the noise prediction, the mutual noise propagation between indoor and outdoor sites are considered. The outdoor noise source in the calculation of geometric divergence effects is modelled as the omni-directional finite line or planar source according to the source geometry and the receiving points. Outdoor noise prediction is carried out to consider the diffraction effect due to plant structures as well as the attenuation effect due to atmospheric absorption and soft ground. The results of indoor and outdoor noise prediction for a recently constructed diesel engine power plant show good agreement with the measured.

The ship radiated noise level fluctuates by the difference of interference and reverberation according to measurement methods and environmental conditions. These phenomena cause error of the source level estimation even in the same environment conditions. This paper describes a quantitative analysis and a reduction method for an error value to the source level estimation in spatial and temporal interference environment. The design criteria of the radiated noise measurement array composed of omni-directional hydrophones and the source level accuracy in the deep water range are given. The source level accuracy in the shallow water range is also derived based on the statistical model of the multiple reflection paths. The results are verified using the water tank experiment and the sea trial.

본 논문에서는 패닝 기법을 이용하여 믹싱된 스테레오 음원에서 음원을 분리하는 방법에 대하여 고찰한다. 음원 분리 알고리즘은 다채널 포맷 변환을 위한 업믹스나 음질 개선, 고품질 음원 분리 등 다양한 응용분야에 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서 사용하는 음원 분리 알고리즘은 믹싱된 스테레오 채널을 시간-주파수 별로 PCA(Principal Component Analysis) 분석 방법을 이용하여 각각의 음원들이 패닝된 방향을 추정하며, 추정된 방향의 성분만을 추출하는 방향 필터링 과정을 거쳐 음원들을 독립적으로 분리 해 낸다. 실험을 통해 각 음원 분리 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하였다.

현재 국악기의 음향특성에 대한 상세 정보가 매우 부족하여 국악당의 설계에 있어서 최적의 음향을 전달하는 공간을 형성하지 못하게 하는 한 원인이 되고 있다. 따라서, 대중적이고 대표적인 국악기의 음향특성을 측정하고 분류한 후 데이터베이스를 구축하면, (1) 향후의 국악 및 국악기 개발에 대한 기초연구로서 활용될 수 있으며, (2) 국악 전용 연주장의 설계에 있어서 입력 데이터로 요긴하게 활용될 수 있으리라 판단된다. 본 연구는 국악기의 음향방사특성을 조사하기 위한 제2단계의 연구로서, 기존의 연구[1]에 새로운 국악기 8종을 추가하였다. 선정된 국악기는 현악기중에서 거문고와 해금, 관악기 중에서 피리와 태평소, 타악기 중 북과 꽹가리, 징 및 남성 창으로, 원거리 (far-field) 음향 방사특성을 조사하였다. 무향실에서 시행된 지향특성실험을 통하여 얻은 국악기의 음향특성을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 적용하여 국악기의 지향특성의 차이를 규명하고 또한 다양한 형태의 공간에 음원의 방사특성의 차이에 따른 실내음향성능의 변이를 조사하였다. 측정 결과, 국악기마다 주파수별 지향특성은 각기 다르게 나타났으며 무지향성 음원과 국악 음원을 사용하였을 때 음향 인자들 사이에 큰 차이를 보였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 데이터와 설계 방법론 등은 향후 국악원의 설계에 있어서 기본적인 자료로 활용될 수 있다고 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 임의 공간에서 정사면체 형태의 마이크로폰 어레이(microphone array)를 이용하여 음원(sound source)추적 성능을 개선할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 음원추적 시스템은 마이크로폰 어레이의 각 마이크로폰에 도착하는 음원신호의 도착 지연시간(TDOA, Time Delay Of Arrival) 정보를 이용하여 음원의 방향성 정보를 추정한다. 임의 3차원 공간에서 음원추적을 위해서는 최소 3개 이상의 마이크로폰이 필요하다. 3개 마이크로폰으로 구성된 음원추적 시스템의 경우 만약 1개의 마이크로폰이라도 신호 오차가 발생한다면 정확한 음원 방향성 추정이 불가능하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 1개의 마이크로폰을 추가한 정사면체 형태(tetrahedron shaper)의 마이크로폰 어레이를 구성하고 좌표변환 기법을 이용하여 주변 잡음이나 오류에 강인한 새로운 음원추적 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안 알고리즘의 성능을 입증하기 위하여 3개의 마이크로폰을 이용한 삼각형 기반 음원추적 시스템과 본 연구에서 제안한 정사면체 기반 음원추적 시스템에 대하여 실시간 비교 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험 결과 제안된 정사면체 기반의 시스템이 최대 약 16% 이상의 향상된 검출율을 보였다.

Source parameters for forty nine recent earthquakes occurred in and around Korean Peninsula are determined and the relations among them are studied. The corner frequency and seismic moment are estimated from three different methods. The spectral fitting of the source displacement spectrum with the $\omega$-square source model of Brune(1970) and Snoke(1987)'s method are applied to all events and empirical Green's function method for two events are adopted. The source parameters determined in this study show different values depending on the adopted method and on the stations of which seismograms are recorded. It is interpreted that the disagreements principally originate from insufficient consideration of source radiation pattern and attenuation and amplification according to path direction. The corner frequencies and seismic moments are averaged to exclude the directional effects and other source parameters are estimated from the mean corner frequency and seismic moment. The static stress drops estimated in this study tend to be independent of seismic moment or magnitude for events above a certain size. For earthquakes with the size less than about 3.0$\times$10$^{21}$dyne-cm(nearly same as M$_{L}$=3.7), the stress drop tends to decrease with the decreasing moment. This fact suggests a breakdown of scaling law of source parameters below the threshold magnitude. The moment magnitudes calculated from source parameters appear to be slightly larger than the Richter's local magnitudes in the range above M$_{L}$=3.5.3.5.

Research on fuel cell systems attracting attention as an environmentally friendly energy source has been actively conducted. And research is being conducted on railway vehicles that use direct current power generated by a fuel cell as an energy source. In this paper, a two-phase interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converter has been proposed which can supply electric energy of a battery to a traction motor during powering and charge the battery with regenerative energy during braking. Therefore, the topology of the energy storage system applied to the railway vehicle was analyzed, and the simulation was performed by constructing the power conversion system by this topology. Experiments were also conducted through hardware design and fabrication based on the simulation analysis results, and the validity of the hardware implementation was verified.

Recently, as the technology of utilization for the ocean space is being advanced, floating structures are asked for being mare and mare huge-scale. A very large floating structure(VLFS) is considered as a flexible structure, because of a quite large length-to-breadth ratio and its geometrical flexibility. The main object of this study is to develop an accurate and convenient method on the hydroelastic response analysis of very large offshore structures on the real sea states. The numerical approach for the hydorelastic responses is based on the combination of the three dimensional source distribution methods, the dynamic response analysis method and the spectral analysis method. A model is considered as many rigid bodies connected elastic beam elements. The calculated results shaw good agreement with the experimental and calculated ones by Ohta.
