This paper deals with the implementation of a high-quality audio system for karaoke. For improving the key/tempo changes performance, we separated the audio into many musical instrument channels. By separating musical instrument channels, high-quality key/tempo changes can be achieved and we confirmed this using the cross-correlation distribution and the MOS evaluation. The improved audio system was implemented using the TMS320C6747 DSP with fixed/floating-point operations. The implemented audio system can perform the multi-channel WMA decoding, the MP3 encoding/decoding, the wav playing, the EQ, and the key/tempo changes in real time. The WMA channels used for processing the separated instrument channels. The audio system includs the MP3 encoding/decoding function for playing and recording and the wav channel for the effect sound.

In this study, bending test was performed on the real-scale, built-up beam test model fabricated by the $CO_2$ arc spot welding to evaluate the applicability of the welding method to the production of the stiffened plate in car-carrying ship. The built-up beam models which were fixed at both ends in longitudinal direction or simply supported to the rigid foundation, depending on the restraint condition of the corresponding car decks considered, were subjected to simulated design vehicle loads or concentrated point loads. During the test, the central deflection and the longitudinal bending stresses were measured from several points on the longitudinal flange face to predict the section properties of the built-up beams. The longitudinal bending stress on each spot weld were also measured to calculate the average horizontal shear force subjected to spot welds. Test results revealed that the shear strength of spot welds with their current weld nugget size and welding pitch was adequate enough to withstand the horizontal shear forces under the design vehicle loads. Although the built-up beam fabricated by the arc spot welding was a discontinuous beam, its mechanical behavior was well explained by the continuous beam theory using the effective breadth of plate. Based on test results, the criterion for the size of spot weld of which the average shear stress might meet the allowable stress requirement of AWS Code could be established.

A new 6 degrees-of-freedom micro stage, based on parallel mechanisms and actuated by using piezoelectric elements, has been developed for the application of micro positioning such as semiconductor manufacturing devices, high precision optical measurement systems, and high accurate machining. The micro stage structure consists of a base platform and an upper platform(stage). The base platform can effectively generates planar motion with yaw motion, while the stage can do vertical motion with roll and pitch motions with respect to the base platform. This separated structure has an advantage of less interference among actuators. The forward and inverse kinematics of the micro stage are discussed. Also, through linearization of kinematic equations about an operating point on the assumption that the configuration of the micro stage remains essentially constant throughout a workspace is performed. To maximize the workspace of the stage relative to fixed frame, an optimal design procedure of geometric parameter is shown. Hardware description and a prototype are presented. The prototype is about 150mm in height and its base platform is approximately 94mm in diameter. The workspace of the prototype is obtained by computer simulation. Kinematic calibration procedure of the micro stage and its results are presented.

The present study investigates heat/mass transfer for flow through perforated plates for application to combustor wall and turbine blade film cooling. The experiments are conducted for hole length to diameter ratios of 0.68 to 1.5, for hole pitch-to-diameter ratios of 1.5 and 3.0, for gap distance between two parallel perforated plates of 1 to 3 hole diameters, and for Reynolds numbers of 60 to 13, 700. Local heat/mass transfer coefficients near and inside the cooling holes are obtained using a naphthalene sublimation technique. Detailed knowledge of the local transfer coefficients is essential to analyze thermal stress in turbine components. The results indicate that the heat/mass transfer coefficients inside the hole surface vary significantly due to flow separation and reattachment. The transfer coefficient near the reattachment point is about four and half times that for a fully developed circular tube flow. The heat/mass transfer coefficient on the leeward surface has the same order as that on the windward surface because of a strong recirculation flow between neighboring jets from the array of holes. For flow through two perforated plate layers, the transfer coefficients on the target surface (windward surface of the second wall) affected by the gap spacing are approximately three to four times higher than that with a single layer.

In this work, the semi-active control of a large-sized bus suspension system with an MR damper was studied. An MR damper model that can aptly describe the hysteretic characteristics of an MR damper was adopted. Parameter values of the MR damper model were suitably modified by considering the maximum damping force of a passive damper used in the suspension system of a real large-sized bus. In addition, a fuzzy logic controller was developed for semi-active control of a suspension system with an MR damper. The vertical acceleration at the attachment point of the MR damper and the relative velocity between sprung and unsprung masses were used as input variables, while voltage was used as the output variable. Straight-ahead driving simulations were performed on a road with a random road profile and on a flat road with a bump. In straight-ahead driving simulations, the vertical acceleration and pitch angle were measured to compare the riding performance of a suspension system with a passive damper with that of a suspension with an MR damper. In addition, a single lane change simulation was performed. In the simulation, the lateral acceleration and roll angle were measured in order to compare the handling performance of a suspension system using a passive damper with that of a suspension system using an MR damper.

In this paper, the acoustic emission(AE) behaviors were investigated with single-and 2-spot resistance spot welded SPCC specimens. Test specimens were welded horizontally and/or vertically according to the rolling direction of base netal in 2-spot welding. In the case of 2-spot welding, when tensile-shear test has below amplitudes: crack initiation $50{\sim}60dB;$ tear fracture $40{\sim}50dB$. And when cross tensile test has below amplitudes: early stage $75{\sim}85dB;$ yielding point $65{\sim}75dB;$ post yielding $40{\sim}60dB;$ plug fracture $70{\sim}80dB\;or\;90{\sim}100dB$. Also, from the b-value that is slope of AE amplitude, we knew that there are lots of low amplitudes if b-value is big(i.e., tensile-shear $specimen{\rightarrow}tear$ fracture or shear fracture), and there are lots of high amplitudes if b-value is small(i.e.. cross tensile $specimen{\rightarrow}plug$ fracture). As the results of fiacture mechanism analyses through AE amplitude distributions, change of the b-value represented fracture patterns of materials. Correspondingly, low amplitude signals appeared in crack initiation, and high amplitude signals appeared in base metal fracture. We confirmed that these amplitude distributions represented the change or degradation of materials.

The machining accuracy is affected by geometric, volumetric errors of the machine tools. To improve the product quality, we need to enhance the machining accuracy of the machine tools. To this point of view, measurement and inspection of finished part as error analysis of machine tools ahas been studied for last several decades. This paper suggests the enhancement method of machining accuracy for precision machining of high quality metal reflection mirror or optics lens, etc. In this paper, we study 1) the compensation of linear pitch error with NC controller compensation function using laser interferometer measurement, 2) the method for enhancing the accuracy of NC milling machining by modeling and compensation of volumetric error, 3) the spherical surface manufacturing by modeling and compensation of volumetric error of the machine tool, 4) the system development of OMM without detaching work piece from a bed of machine tool after working, 5) the generation of the finished part profile by OMM. Furthermore, the output of OMM is compared with that of CMM, and verified the feasibility of the measurement system.

In this paper, we propose a method that can generate a computer-generated hologram (CGH) from the depth stream and color image outputs provided by an active sensor add-on camera. Distinguished from an existing holographic display system that uses a computer graphic model to generate CGH, this method utilizes a real camera image including a depth information for each object captured by the camera, as well as color information. This procedure consists of two steps that the acquirement of a depth-annotated image of real object, and generation of CGH according to the 3D information that is extracted from the depth cue. In addition, we display the generated CGH via a holographic display system. In experimental system we reconstruct an image made from CGH with a reflective LCD panel that had a pixel-pitch of 10.4um and resolution of 1408X1050.

We report an ultra-precision lathe designed to machine micron-scale features on a large-area roll mold. The lathe can machine rolls up to 600 mm in diameter and 2,500 mm in length. All axes use hydrostatic oil bearings to exploit the high-precision, stiffness, and damping characteristics. The headstock spindle and rotary tooling table are driven by frameless direct drive motors, while coreless linear motors are used for the two linear axes. Finite element method modeling reveals that the effects of structural deformation on the machining accuracy are less than $1{\mu}m$. The results of thermal testing show that the maximum temperature rise at the spindle outer surface is approximately $0.5^{\circ}C$. Finally, performance evaluations of the error motion, micro-positioning capability, and fine-pitch machining demonstrate that the lathe is capable of producing optical-quality surfaces with micron-scale patterns with feature sizes as small as $20{\mu}m$ on a large-area roll mold.
