In this paper, a transcoding algorithm for the Selectable Mode Vocoder (SMV) and the G.723.1 speech coder via direct parameter transformation is proposed. In contrast to the conventional tandem transcoding algorithm, the proposed algorithm converts the parameters of one coder to the Other Without going through the decoding md encoding process. The proposed algorithm is composed of four parts: the parameter decoding, line spectral pair (LSP) conversion, pitch period conversion, excitation conversion and rate selection. The evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves equivalent speech quality to that of tandem transcoding with reduced computational complexity and delay.

Recently, instead of a matched die forming method requiring a high cost and long delivery term, a multi-point dieless forming method using a pair of matrix type punch array as flexible dies has been developed. Since the conventional multi-point dieless forming method has some disadvantages of difficulty in precise punch control and high-cost of equipment, a new concept of multi-point dieless forming method combined with an elasto-forming method has been suggested in this study. For optimal selection of elastomers, compression tests of rubbers, polyethylene and foams were carried out together with FEM analysis of the deformation behavior during sheet forming process using a rigid punch and elastomers. Compressive strain was concentrated on the upper central area of the elastomer under the punch, and the rubber exhibited higher concentration of the compressive strain than foams. Two-dimensional curved surface was formed successfully by the multi-point elasto-dieless forming method using an optimal combination of rubber and foam materials.

The multi degree of freedom system using magnetic levitation has been implemented successfully. Differently from another noncontact systems, the developed system was focused on the maximization of the system stiffness under the constraint of a limited input. The variation of a relative adopting point between the magnetic pair, its location on the fixed base, and the selection of optimal specifications for the main active magnetic elements give us another chance to realize the increased robustness against external disturbances with the less control inputs. In this paper, the overall development procedures are given including the optimal design, the dynamic modeling, the various control tests, and the main issues to be solved.

Merging galaxy clusters, such as PLCKG287.0+32.9, provide a window into the formation process of the large scale structure of the universe. PLCKG287.0+32.9 is an enormous merging galaxy cluster with mass estimated to be ~10^15 Msun. It hosts a pair of mega-parsec sized radio relics with projected offsets from the X-ray center of approximately 350kpc and 2.7Mpc, suggesting a NW-SE merging scenario with relics originating from two separate passes (Bonafede et al. 2014). A detected radio halo coincides with the center of x-ray emission. We present the motivation for our weak lensing study of the merging galaxy cluster PLCKG287.0+32.9 using recent Subaru optical imaging. We discuss the basics of weak-lensing and the criteria for source selection. In addition, we describe our method of PSF modeling and mass reconstruction.

This paper presents a new graphical method for selecting a pair of optical glasses to simultaneously achromatize and athermalize an imaging lens made of materials in contact. An athermal glass map that plots thermal glass constant versus inverse Abbe number is derived through analysis of optical glasses and plastic materials in visible light. By introducing the equivalent Abbe number and equivalent thermal glass constant, although it is a multi-lens system, we have a simple way to visually identify possible optical materials. Applying this method to design a phone camera lens equipped with quarter inch image sensor having 8-mega pixels, the thermal defocuses over $-20^{\circ}C$ to $+60^{\circ}C$ are reduced to be much less than the depth of focus of the system.

We propose a motion-compensated frame interpolation method in which an accurate backward/forward motion vector pair (MVP) is estimated based on a parabolic motion model. A reliability measure for an MVP is also proposed to select the most reliable MVP for each interpolated block. The possibility of deformation of bidirectional corresponding blocks is estimated from the selected MVP. Then, each interpolated block is produced by combining corresponding blocks with the weights based on the possibility of deformation. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves PSNR performance by up to 2.8 dB as compared to conventional methods and achieves higher visual quality without annoying blockiness artifacts.

The objective of this study was to perform genetic diversity analysis of 13 strains isolated from South Korean foods by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). For typing, seven housekeeping loci (atpA, dnaA, dnaK, gyrB, pheS, pyrG, and rpoA) were selected, amplified and analyzed. Fifty-one polymorphic sites varying from 1 to 22 in each species were identified. Thirteen sequence types were generated with allele numbers ranged from 2 to 10. The overall relationship between strains was assessed by unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean dendrogram and minimum spanning tree. In addition, combined spits tree analysis revealed intragenic recombination. No clear relationship was observed between the isolation sources and strains. The developed MLST scheme enhanced our knowledge of the population diversity of Leu. citreum strains and will be used further for the selection of industrially important strain.

The adsorption of cyanide ion on the gold electrode has been investigated by the subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (SNIFTIRS). The observations made by SNIFTIRS were consistent with those obtained by the polarization modulated Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. According to the surface selection rule, cyanide ion appeared to adsorb on gold via either carbon or nitrogen lone pair electrons assuming a perpendicular orientation with respect to the metal surface. The possibility of presence of bridge-bound species seemed very infeasible. From the ab initio quantum mechanical calculation, adsorbate-to-metal bonding appeared to occur mainly via the $5{\sigma}$ donation from carbon to Au.

This paper describes a large-vocabulary continuous speech recognition system using continuous hidden Markov models for the Korean language. To improve the performance of the system, we study on the selection of speech modeling units, inter-word modeling, search algorithm, and grammars. We used triphones as basic speech modeling units, generalized triphones and function word-dependent phones are used to improve the trainability of speech units and to reduce errors in function words. Silence between words is optionally inserted by using a silence model and a null transition. Word pair grammar and bigram model based oil word classes are used. Also we implement a search algorithm to find N-best candidate sentences. A postprocessor reorders the N-best sentences using word triple grammar, selects the most likely sentence as the final recognition result, and finally corrects trivial errors related with postpositions. In recognition tests using a 3,000-word continuous speech database, the system attained $93.1\%$ word recognition accuracy and $73.8\%$ sentence recognition accuracy using word triple grammar in postprocessing.
