This paper introduces experimental results of the ride qulaity characteristics of automotive seats fixed on the vibration table that is noving simultaneously to the three-axis in a similar way to the real running condition. Vibration experiment was carried out for five different automotive seats and four Korean individuals. The assessment of the ride quality characteristics for each seat and indiviual was made not only from the analysis of vibration measurements but also from the evaluation of weighied vibration signals, which were obtained using the frequency weighting function and the multiplication factor dependent on the position and axis of vibration exposure to wehole-body. The usefulness of those assessment results in analysis of the ride quality of seats is discussed and their limitation is also pointed out in this paper.

Ultrasonic Doppler Diagnostic System utilizes the Doppler effect for measurement of blood velocity. The sign of the Doppler frequency shift represents blood flow direction. CW(Continuous-Wave) Doppler System uses quadrature detection and phase rotation method to produce simultaneous independent audio and velocity signals for forward and reverse blood flow direction in the time-domain, had been fabricated. But time-domain analyzing such as audio evaluation and zero- crossing detection for instantaneous and mean frequnecy measurement do not provide both an accurate and quantitative result. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt frequency-domain technique to improve system performance. In this paper, we describe a unit which is composed of CW Doppler System and real-time spectrum analyzer (installed TMS 32010 DSP Chip). This unit shows time-dependent spectrum variation and mean velocity of Blood signal.

An evaluation of a plasma reactor was conducted to investigate its potential as a feasible and economical off-gas control technology for an air stripping tower (AST). The plasma reactor was powered by an alternating current with frequencies up to 1000Hz. The study showed that over 90% conversion of gas-phase trichloroethylene (TCE) can be achieved. An optimum frequency for the laternating current existed for maximum power input. The optimum frequency was dependent on the reactor geometry and the primary voltage applied. for a fixed geometry, a plasma reactor has a limited capacity for flow rate. Even though it is a feasible process to control off-gases, further investigations should be conducted to develop a more economic process.

This research aims to develop an empirical model for simulation of time-varying frequency in earthquake ground motion so as to be used easily in engineering applications. Briefly, 10545 recordings of the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) global database of accelerograms from shallow crustal earthquakes are selected and binned by magnitude, distance and site condition. Then the wavelet spectrum of each acceleration record is calculated by using one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform, and the frequencies corresponding to the maximum values of the wavelet spectrum at a series of sampling time, named predominant frequencies, are extracted to analyze the variation of frequency content of seismic ground motions in time. And the time-variation of the predominant frequencies of 178 magnitude-distance-site bins for different directions are obtained by calculating the mean square root of predominant frequencies within a bin. The exponential trigonometric function is then use to fit the data, which describes the predominant frequency of ground-motion as a function of time with model parameters given in tables for different magnitude, distance, site conditions and direction. Finally, a practical frequency-dependent amplitude envelope function is developed based on the time-varying frequency derived in this paper, which has clear statistical parameters and can emphasize the effect of low-frequency components on later seismic action. The results illustrate that the time-varying predominant frequency can preferably reflect the non-stationarity of the frequency content in earthquake ground motions and that empirical models given in this paper facilitates the simulation of ground motions.

In this paper, partial discharge (PD) measurement was performed to evaluate the quality of the cable joint and termination constructions. The resistive coupling technique for PD detection using resistivity of semiconducting layer of the cable in the accessories, such as joints and terminations. With high frequency PD (HEPD) measurement, an excellent sensitivity below 20pC could be achieved under unshielded condition. The localization of the defects in the accessories could be identified. During heating cycle, PDs were monitored and analyzed. At that time, the PDs were dependent on the temperature of the heating cycle and showed cyclic behaviors, which were attributed to local delamination of the interfaces, between epoxy unit and stress relief cone(SRC) and between SRC and cable, due to the difference of thermal expansion. As a conclusion, HFPD measurement technique was proven to be an effective diagnostic method for qualification of extra high voltage (EHV) cable accessories. With this technique, the optimal design of the components of the accessories could be verified not only in an early stage but also under operating condition. This technique would result in the improvement of the reliability of the EHV cable accessories.

The researches of the emotions are currently great interest in speech processing as well as in human-machine interaction domain. In the recent years, more and more of researches relating to emotion synthesis or emotion recognition are developed for the different purposes. Each approach uses its methods and its various parameters measured on the speech signal. In this paper, we proposed using a short-time parameter: MFCC coefficients (Mel­Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients) and a simple but efficient classifying method: Vector Quantification (VQ) for speaker-dependent emotion recognition. Many other features: energy, pitch, zero crossing, phonetic rate, LPC... and their derivatives are also tested and combined with MFCC coefficients in order to find the best combination. The other models: GMM and HMM (Discrete and Continuous Hidden Markov Model) are studied as well in the hope that the usage of continuous distribution and the temporal behaviour of this set of features will improve the quality of emotion recognition. The maximum accuracy recognizing five different emotions exceeds $88\%$ by using only MFCC coefficients with VQ model. This is a simple but efficient approach, the result is even much better than those obtained with the same database in human evaluation by listening and judging without returning permission nor comparison between sentences [8]; And this result is positively comparable with the other approaches.

It is necessary to measure the length of a root canal in order to attain a satisfactory prognosis after root canal therapy. There are several methods for determining root canal length, such as tactile sensation by the dental practitioner, the utilization of x-ray film, and electronic root canal measurement. Among these, the electrical measurement methods, in which the impedence between the oral mucous membrane and periodontal membrane is determined, have advantages of simplicity and accuracy. During root canal treatment, the root canal contains a solution of high electrical conductivity such as pus, blood, sodium hypochlorite and so on. Recently a new electronic root canal measurement device of frequency-dependent type has been developed, which is capable of measuring the length of root canal under moist conditions. Endex and Root ZX, which are frequency-dependent type, were evaluated for accuracy of measuring root canal length in vivo by stereomicroscope. The result were as follows ; 1. 82.5% of Endex and 87.5% of Root ZX measured in the range of ${\pm}0.5$ mm from the apical foramen and both showed 57.5 % in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm. 2. Endex showed significantly higher accuracy in vital teeth than nonvital teeth(p<0.05). But in case of Root ZX, there was no significant difference between vital and nonvital teeth. 3. As a result of this study, there was no significant difference in accuracy between Endex and Root ZX, and both devices showed file passes the apical foramen in more than half of the cases, and it is thought that this must be considered clinically.
