This paper deals with pressure ripple attenuation far separated-type Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) consisting ova variable axial piston pump connected in an open loop to a fried displacement axial piston motor. Pressure ripples in HST is major source of vibration which can lead to fatigue failure of components and cause noise. In order to reduce the pressure ripple, an annular tube tripe hydraulic filter is proposed to attenuate pressure ripples with the high frequencies components to achieve better noise reduction in HST. The basic principle of a hydraulic filter is allied to propagation of pressure wave, reflection, absorption in cross section of discontinuity and resonance in the hydraulic pipeline. It is experimentally shown that the hydraulic filter attenuates about 30∼40dB of pressure ripple with high frequencies. These results will assist in modeling and design of noise reduction in hydraulic control systems, and provide a means of designing a quieter HST.

Soil layer in vegetation filter strip is one of the very important factor for reduction of non-point pollutants by physical, chemical and biological reactions of it through infiltration process. This study was carried out to prepare more effective vegetation filter strip through modification of soil layer for river water quality improvement. Therefore, the main aims of this study are to compare and evaluate normal (straighten type) and modified (step type) vegetation filter strip, which make artificially change the soil layer to improve infiltration ability, through bench scale experiments. In the results of this study, vegetation filter strip of step type is much more highly reduction effectiveness of pollutants in surface flow compared with normal vegetation filter strip. In case of below effluent, however, it appeared that the vegetation filter strip modified soil layer showed lower reduction effectiveness of pollutants than the general vegetation filter strip. This result was judged because effluent through the vegetation filter strip of step type passed bigger size of aggregate or sand than the vegetation filter strip of straighten type. If we compare it as a definition of pollutant load to estimate total amount of reduced pollutants by vegetation filter strip, reduced pollutants load by step type showed higher than those by straighten type because below effluent amount relied on total effluent amount was higher at step type (4%) than at straighten type (2%). In conclusion, the vegetation filter strip of step type to improve infiltration effect is much more reduction effectiveness of pollutants than vegetation filter strip of straighten type.

In this paper, the SEM image processing system based on PC is designed, and a new noise reduction filtering algorithm is proposed. The SEM image obtained in semiconductor processing line is sensitive to noise, the weighted-D filter can remove uniform and Gaussian noise effectively, but can not remove impulse noise properly, A new improved filtering algorithm is proposed to reduce mixed-noise. The performance of the proposed filter is quantitatively evaluated by use of the normalized mean square errors (NMSE). The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed filter is obtained between 0.96 and 2.5 times better than that of weighted-D filter in NMSE evaluation.

A design for the input filter and the output filter of a single-phase UPS system is proposed. And also, this paper describes a reduction of the DC voltage ripple of a single-phase UPS. The input power of proposed UPS fluctuates with twice frequency of the utility source, which causes DC voltage fluctuation. The reduction of the DC voltage fluctuation requires a large DC link capacitor. The proposed method uses a LC series resonant filter paralleled with a conventional smoothing capacitor. The effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed by simulation results.

In this paper, we propose the bilateral filter based on median value that can reduce random noise and impulse noise with minimal loss of contour information. In general, EO / IR camera to generate a random or impulse noise due to a number of reasons. This noise reduces the performance of detecting and tracking by signal processing. To reduce noise, our proposed bilateral filter sorts the values of the target pixel and the peripheral pixels, and extracts a median filter coefficients of the Gaussian type. Then to extract the Gaussian filter coefficient involved with the distance between the center pixel and the surrounding pixels. As using those filter coefficients, our proposed method can remove the various noise effectively while minimizing the loss of the contour information. To validate our proposed method, we present experimental results for several IR images.

This paper first proposes the speech recognition algorithm by detection of the speech and noise sections at each frame, then proposes the reduction algorithm of environmental noise by multi-band filter which removes the background noises at each frame according to detection of the speech and noise sections. The proposed algorithm reduces the background noises using filter bank sub-band domain after extracting the features from the speech data. In this experiment, experimental results of the proposed noise reduction algorithm by the multi-band filter demonstrate using the speech and noise data, at each frame. Based on measuring the spectral distortion, experiments confirm that the proposed algorithm is effective for the speech by corrupted the noise.

The performance of five kind adsorbents, which can reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) from the diesel engine occupying 85% of the fishing boat, was carried out and the emission reduction filter was manufactured and evaluated in the adsorption efficiency of the emission gas for 240 KW diesel portable generator. As a NOx emission filter made of mordenite which has an excellent cation exchange capacity was manufactured by ball type adsorbents having excellent specific surface area. The adsorption efficiency of mordenite material applying the emission reduction filter began to show up at the operating time 10 minutes in comparison with the activated carbon and zeolite materials, and it was exposed to continue until 100% capability with passing by 20 minutes. So the adsorption efficiency of the NOx reduction filter consistently maintained at the averaged 80%.

This paper proposes a noise reduction algorithm using Wiener filter to remove the noise components from the noisy speech in order to improve the speech signal. The proposed algorithm first removes the noise spectrums of white noise from the noisy signal based on the noise reshaping and reduction method at each frame. And this algorithm enhances the speech signal using Wiener filter based on linear predictive coding analysis. In this experiment, experimental results of the proposed algorithm demonstrate using the speech and noise data by Japanese male speaker. Based on measuring the spectral distortion (SD) measure, experiments confirm that the proposed algorithm is effective for the speech by contaminated white noise. From the experiments, the maximum improvement in the output SD values was 4.94 dB better for white noise compared with former Wiener filter.

To provide high voice quality of real-time voice communication based on telematics exposed to various noise environments, the noise reduction algorithm with low computing load is required to effectively remove the noise. In this paper, we propose a noise reduction algorithm based on Mel-Filter and illustrate the proposed algorithm comparing with conventional noise reduction algorithms. As a experimental result that evaluates the performance of the noise reduction algorithms under the car and babble noise environments, the proposed noise reduction algorithm has the lower computing load with the similar PESQ score compared to the conventional noise reduction algorithms. It proves that the proposed noise reduction algorithm can efficiently remove the noise in mobile telematics.

A motion adaptive video noise reduction scheme is proposed by cascading a temporal filter and a spatial filter. After a noise-robust motion detection is performed with a pre-spatial filter, the strength of the motion adaptive temporal filter is controlled by the amount of temporal movement. In order to fully utilize the temporal correlation of video signal, noisy input image is processed first by the temporal filter, therefore, image details of temporally stationary region are quite well preserved while undesired noises are suppressed. In contrast to the pre-spatial filter used for the robust motion detection, the cascaded post-spatial filter removes the remained noises by considering the strength of the temporal filter and the spatial self-similarity search results obtained from the pre-spatial filter.
