In a speech coding system using excitation source of voiced and unvoiced, it would be involves a distortion of speech waveform in case coexist with a voiced and an unvoiced consonants in a frame. This paper present a new method of TSIUVC (Transition Segment Including Unvoiced Consonant) approximate-synthesis by using Least Mean Square. The TSIUVC extraction is based on a zero crossing rate and IPP (Individual Pitch Pulses) extraction algorithm using residual signal of FIR-STREAK Digital Filter. As a result, This method obtain a high Quality approximation-synthesis waveform by using Least Mean Square. The important thing is that the frequency signals in a maximum error signal can be made with low distortion approximation-synthesis waveform. This method has the capability of being applied to a new speech coding of Voiced/Silence/TSIUVC, speech analysis and speech synthesis.

The electric coupling between the lithosphere and the ionosphere is examined. The electric field is considered as a timevarying irregular vertical Coulomb field presumably produced on the Earth's surface before an earthquake within its epicentral zone by some micro-processes in the lithosphere. It is shown that the Fourier component of this electric field with a frequency of 500 Hz and a horizontal scale-size of 100 km produces in the nighttime ionosphere of high and middle latitudes a transverse electric field with a magnitude of ~20 mV/m if the peak value of the amplitude of this Fourier component is just 30 V/m. The time-varying vertical Coulomb field with a frequency of 500 Hz penetrates from the ground into the ionosphere by a factor of ${\sim}7{\times}10^5$ more efficient than a time independent vertical electrostatic field of the same scale size. The transverse electric field with amplitude of 20 mV/m will cause perturbations in the nighttime F region electron density through heating the F region plasma resulting in a reduction of the downward plasma flux from the protonosphere and an excitation of acoustic gravity waves.

In this paper, we present the results of a preliminary study on the piezoelectric energy harvesting performance of a Zr-doped $PbMg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}O_3-PbTiO_3$ (PMN-PZT) single crystal beam. A novel piezoelectric beam cantilever structure is used to demonstrate the feasibility of generating AC voltage during a state of vibration. The energy-harvesting capability of a PMN-PZT beam is calculated and tested. The frequency response of the cantilever device shows that the first mode resonance frequency of the excitation model exists in the neighborhood of several hundreds of hertz, which is similar to the calculated value. These tests show that several significantly open AC voltages and sub-mW power are achieved. To test the possibility of a small scale power source for a ubiquitous sensor network service, energy conversion and the testing of storage experiment are also carried out.

This study describes a method to find the torso surface potential based on the boundary element method. In order to find the torso surface potential, the governing equation was developed based on the green's second theorem. The boundary element method (BEM) which has a good computing capability in case of homogeneous and isotropic medium was applied to solve the equation. to validate the BEM, we considered a homogeneous sphere model which has an electrric dopole source inside. The results showed the good agreement between the analytic solution and the computed solution. In normal heart, the simulated torso surface isopotential maps are good agreement with that obtained form the ventricular excitation.

$BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}$:Mn, $Eu^{2+}$ green phosphors has been synthesized by the solid state reaction. Green phosphors of nano-size were manufactured in short time by shake method. which were easily manufactured respectively general method. Green phosphors of nano size were control additive, size of $ZrO_3$ ball, shake time and weight of ball in toluene. In result that green phosphors were obtained particle size of 140nm~150nm. The characteristics of fired samples were obtained by 365nm and 380nm excitation source under ultraviolet. In result that the highest PL intensity were observed in wavelength of 365nm.

In this paper, we analyzed the frequency characteristics and the crosstalk of the adjacent parallel lines and the crossed lines in high-speed packaging interconnections by using the three-dimensional finite difference time domain (3D FDTD) method. To analyze the actual crosstalk phenomena in the transmission of the high-speed digital sgnal, the step pulse with fast rise time was used for the source excitation signal instead of using the Gaussian pulse that is generally used in FDTD. To veify the theoretical resutls, the experimental interconnection lines that were fabricated on the Duroid substrate($\varepsilon_{r}$=2.33, h=0.787 [mm]) were tested by TDR(time domain reflectometry). The results show good agreement between the analyzed results and the tested outcomes.

A particle counting system that can also provide sensitive, specific chemical information, while consuming very less power, occupying less space, and being inexpensive has been developed. This system uses a microwave plasma torch (MPT) as the excitation source for atomic emission spectrometry (AES). Emission from a single particle can be detected, and the wavelength at which the emission is observed indicates the elements present in the particle. It is believed that correlating the particle size and emission intensity will allow us to estimate the particle size in addition to abovementioned capabilities of the system. In the long term, this system can be made field-portable, so that it can be used in atmospheric aerosol monitoring applications, which require real-time detection and characterization of particles at low concentrations.

Photodynamic therapy consists of a photosensitizer, suitable light source and oxygen. The excitation of the photosensitizer at a cancer mass results in oxidation which would ultimately reduce the mass via apoptosis. Millimeter wave (MMW) therapy has also been known to be effective on cancer cell mass reduction, human cell regeneration and immunity enhancement among the Russian clinicians and scientists. In the present study, the two modalities were combined to achieve synergistic effects while reducing the administration dosage of the photosensitizer, photogem, thus minimizing the side effects. The CT-26 adenocarcinoma cell mass was implanted on mice and the tumors were exposed to a simple MMW irradiation or a combined treatment of MMW and PDT. The treatments continued for 4 weeks and the size of the tumor was measured continuously. The significant therapeutic result of MMW was not found during 4 weeks, preferably more cancer recurrence possibility after MMW irradiation was observed. The results of this study suggest that the combination of MMW irradiation and photodynamic treatment should not be recommended. The result of the MMW treatment alone, however, displayed suppressive effect on cancer cell proliferation for both in vitro and in vivo. The results of the present study suggest that the millimeter wave therapy deserves a further study.

Results of magnetic measurement of a prototype Storage Ring dipole magnet for the Pohang Light Source (PLS) are summarized. Hall probe mapping and rotating coil methods are used to measure field profiles and integrated field properties. End chamfering experiments are performed on the as-built magnet, which has four removable pole-end pieces, to meet the specifications set from beam dy-namics requirement. The corrected magnet has efficiency of 99.7% at 2.0 GeV excitation ad higher order multipole error levels less than the specifications for all excitations, showing that the magnet has appropriate properties for the PLS Storage Ring.

Structural intensity of plates experiencing bending vibration is analytically evaluated using the modal analysis based on assumed mode method. To evaluate the convergence of structural intensity according to the number of superposition modes, the power obtained by structural intensity integration over the closed curve containing the excitation source is compared with the power injected into plates. The erect of power reduction due to the material internal loss is evaluated using the intensity around a localized damping point, In addition, the dominant component among internal forces in the power transfer by the bending vibration of plates and the change of power flow due to stiffener are also investigated.
