A variety of noise control methods have been developed as an interest on noise issues increases. Among them, noise control methods using masking effect, a phenomenon to reduce the ability to notice the unwanted sound by proper sound, to implement a pleasant sound environment have been studied under the name of soundscape. We proposed a novel vector base amplitude panning(VBAP) based noise control method to apply to the building environment. The proposed method could improve the amenity inside the building to reproduce the sounds with excellent masking effect on the incoming path of noise using the control speakers, considering the direction of noise source. The directional masking sounds can be generated by using VBPA technique. To verify the performance of the proposed method, we carried out the subjective test for the degree of amenity according to direction of the masking sound. Subjective test results showed that it is possible to improve the amenity inside the building by controlling the direction of masking sound considering the human's auditory characteristic.

One of the rising problems in the field of environmental engineering is the eutrophic phenomenon which appears in the closed water basin. This study is the elimination orthophosphate by adsorption, which is indispensible nutritive element for eutrophication Ziriconium(IV) oxide hydrate-activatedcarbon complex. which has excellent adsorptivity for orthophosphate and can easily be reused after desorption process has been made and used as adsorbents. The main purpose of this study is to obtain intraparticle diffusivity which is basic data for the design of adsorption operation the experimental results were as follows. 1. Optimum condition which gave maxinum adsorption of orthophosphate was ph5 2. Equilibrium adsorption showed good consistency with Freundlich type. q=10.80C1/2.08 3. Pore diffusivity and surface diffusivity obtained the kinetic experiment of batch adsorption were respectivity 5.38 and 2.06 ($\textrm{cm}^2$/sec)

Although lots of works are done in influence diagnostics, results in the multivariate analysis are quite rare. One of recent works done by Fung(1995) is about the single case influence diagnostics in the linear discriminant analysis. In this paper we extend Fung's results to the multiple cases diagnostics which are necessary in the linear discriminant analysis for two reasons among others; First, the masking effect cannot be detected by single case diagnostics and secondly two populations are concerned in the discriminant analysis, i.e., influential cases can occur in one or both populations.

Previously, we have analyzed Vehicle interior noise by dBA based analysis. However, dBA based analysis can not describe the various sound phenomenon that consumer hear. Sound quality matrics can describe various sound phenomenon that dBA based analysis could not explain. In this paper, we will demonstrate the difference of between dBA based analysis and real sound feeling, and analyze sound examples by sound metrics and Principle Component Analysis. In this way we can analyze vehicle interior noise more effectively.

Human pose estimation is a method of estimating a posture by extracting a human joint key point. When occlusion occurs, the joint key point extraction performance is lowered because the human joint is covered. The occlusion phenomenon is largely divided into three types of actions: self-contained, covered by other objects, and covered by background. In this paper, we propose an effective posture estimation method using a masking phenomenon enhancement technique. Although the posture estimation method has been continuously studied, research on the occlusion phenomenon of the posture estimation method is relatively insufficient. To solve this problem, the author proposes a data augmentation technique that intentionally masks human joints. The experimental results in this paper show that the intentional use of the blocking phenomenon enhancement technique is strong against the blocking phenomenon and the performance is increased.

In this paper, we introduce a novel signal quality enhancement algorithm with a perceptual interference analysis and perceptual convolutional noise suppression. A perceptual convolutional noise is reflected in the audible disturbance that can still be recognized after the additional noise suppression and tonality change which is caused by the noise energy excitation. The enhancement system is organized with a perceptual additional noise suppression part and a perceptual convolutional noise suppression part. Experimental results show that these two parts have an equivalent quality enhancement performance.

This paper estimates defect and outbreak probabilities of each individual component from some subset of masked data where the exact component causing system failure might be unknown. A system consists of k components that fails whenever there is a defect in at least one of the components. Due to cost and time constraints it is not feasible to learn exactly which components are defective. Because, test procedures ascertain that the defective components belong to some subset of the k components. This phenomenon is termed masking. We describe a, b, c type in which a sample of masked subsets is subjected to intensive failure analysis. This recorded data of a, b, c type enables maximum likelihood estimation of defect probability of each individual component and leads to outbreak of the defective components in future masked failures.

SISI(Short Increment Sensitivity Index) test is to identify recruitment phenomenon that is used to diagnose detailed lesion of sensory-neural hearing loss. This paper describes SISI test software implemented to personal computer(PC). This software supports two test modes, consisting of auto-mode and manual-mode, which are classified according to whether or not audiologist to lead test, thereby enabling cost effective test. In addition, it has been designed to perform automatic masking in case of necessity. And by supporting not only 1dB increment but also 2 and 5dB increment, SISI test program of this paper makes it possible to acquire more accurate test result.

Transparent and conducting Sb-doped $SnO_2$ thin films were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering technology. But it showed a serious damage phenomenon on the surface of as-deposited films. In order to avoid a damage caused in the substrate center and location facing to target erosion, a ring plate of masking glass was installed at 1.5 cm above target surface. The uniformity and electrical characteristic of $SnO_2$ thin films were evaluated by the control of optimal conditions in the magnetron sputtering operation such as rf power, sputtering gas pressure, and substrate temperature. In the experimental results using the operating conditions, the optimum temperature, which produced uniform and damageless films, shifted with the change of gas pressure. The rate was about $100^{\circ}C$/5 mTorr at rf power of 50 W Similarly, the optimum temperature in compensation for an increase of rf power shifted down to a proper rate.

The LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) technology meets the requirements for high quality microelectronic devices and microsystems application due to a very good electrical and mechanical properties, high reliability and stability as well as possibility of making integrated three dimensional microstructures. The wet process, which has been applied to the etching of the metallic thin film on the ceramic substrate, has multi process steps such as lithography and development and uses very toxic chemicals arising the environmental problems. The other side, Plasma technology like ion beam sputtering is clean process including surface cleaning and treatment, sputtering and etching of semiconductor devices, and environmental cleanup. In this study, metallic multilayer pattern was fabricated by the ion beam etching of Ti/Pd/Cu without the lithography. In the experiment, Alumina and LTCC were used as the substrate and Ti/Pd/Cu metallic multilayer was deposited by the DC-magnetron sputtering system. After the formation of Cu/Ni/Au multilayer pattern made by the photolithography and electroplating process, the Ti/Pd/Cu multilayer was dry-etched by using the low energy-high current ion-beam etching process. Because the electroplated Au layer was the masking barrier of the etching of Ti/Pd/Cu multilayer, the additional lithography was not necessary for the etching process. Xenon ion beam which having the high sputtering yield was irradiated and was used with various ion energy and current. The metallic pattern after the etching was optically examined and analyzed. The rate and phenomenon of the etching on each metallic layer were investigated with the diverse process condition such as ion-beam acceleration energy, current density, and etching time.
