Mechanical shim is an advanced technology for reactor power and axial offset control with control rod assemblies. To address the adverse accuracy impact on the ex-core power range neutron flux measurements-based axial offset control resulting from the variable positions of control rod assemblies, the lead-lag-compensated in-core self-powered vanadium detector signals are utilized. The prompt ${\gamma}$ current of self-powered detector is ignored normally due to its weakness compared with the delayed ${\beta}$ current, although it promptly reflects the flux change of the core. Based on the features of the prompt ${\gamma}$ current, a method for configuration of the lead-lag dynamic compensator is proposed. The simulations indicate that the method can improve dynamic response significantly with negligible adverse effects on the steady response. The robustness of the design implies that the method is of great value for engineering applications.

In this paper, we propose a robust watermarking technique that accepts time scaling, pitch shift, add noise and a lot of lossy compression such as MP3, AAC, WMA. The technique is developed based on digital filtering. Being designed according to critical band of HAS (human auditory system), the digital filters nearly affect audio quality. Furthermore, before implementing digital filtering, wavelet transform decomposes the audio signal into several signals that is composed of specific frequencies. Designed digital filters scan the decomposed signal. The designed digital filter, band-stop filter, distorts and eliminates specific frequencies of audio signals. Watermarking detection can be accomplished by FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). Firstly, segments of audio signal are transformed by FFT. Then, the obtained amplitude spectrum by FFT is summed repeatedly. Finally the watermark detector can find filters used to watermark encoding based on eliminating frequencies. The suggested technique can embed 4bits/s in a robust manner.

We present an optical detection method for the fundamental vibrational mode of a tuning fork crystal oscillator in air. A focused He/Ne laser beam is directed onto the edge of one vibrating tine of the tuning fork; its vibrating motion chops the incoming laser beam and modulates the intensity. The beam with modulated intensity is then detected and converted to an electrical signal by a high-speed photo-detector. This electrical signal is a sinusoid at the resonant frequency of the tuning fork vibration, which is 32.76 kHz. Our scheme is robust enough that the sinusoidal signal is detectable at up to $40^{\circ}$ of rotation of the tuning fork.

As data rate was increased, the conventional burst-mode automatic power control circuit caused errors due to the effort of the mark density variation. To solve this problem we invented a new structured peak-comparator which could eliminate the effect of the mark density variation even in high date rate, and revised the conventional one using it. We proposed a burst-mode automatic power control circuit robust to mark density variations. We found that the peak-comparator in the proposed automatic power control circuit was very robust to mark density variations because it affected very little by the mark density variation in high date rate and in the wide variation range of the reference current and the difference current.

Accurate detection of the voicved segment in speech signals is important for robust pitch extraction. This paper describes an explicit detection algorithmfor detecting the voiced segment in speech signals. Thsi algoithm is based on the fluctuation properties of maximum magnitudes in each frame of speech signals. The performance of this detector is evaluated and compared to that obtained from manually classifying 150 recorded digit utterances.

In this paper, we survey various Robust Object Recognition Algorithms. One of the core technologies for local feature detector is Scale Invariant Feature Transform. And we compared several algorithms with SIFT based on IPP technology. As a result, the conversion of source codes using IPP is sped up. And this will be more improved recognition speed using SIMD Instructions.

Acoustic Echo Cancellation(m) is very active research topic having many applications like teleconference and hands-free communication and it employs Double Talk Detector(DTD) to indicate whether the near-end speaker is active or not. However. the DTD is very sensitive to the variation of acoustical environment and it sometimes provides wrong information about the near-end speaker. In this paper, we are focusing on the development of robust DTD algorithm which is a basic building block for reliable AEC system. The proposed AEC system consists of delayless subband AEC and narrow-band DTD. Delayless subband AEC has proven to have excellent performance of echo cancellation with a low complexity and high convergence speed. In addition, it solves the signal delay problem in the existing subband AEC. On the other hand, the proposed narrowband DTD is operating on low frequency subband. It can take most advantages from the narrow subband such as a low computational complexity due to the down-sampling and the reliable DTD decision making procedure because of the low-frequency nature of the subband signal. From the simulation results of the proposed narrowband DTD and wideband DTD, we confirm that the proposed DTD outperforms the wideband DTD in a sense of removing possible false decision making about the near-end speaker activity.

In this paper, we have investigated the CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) Cellular System with non-linear equalizer in reverse link channel. In general, due to unknown characteristics of channel in the wireless communication, the distribution of the observables cannot be specified by a finite set of parameters; instead, we partitioned the m-dimensional sample space Into a finite number of disjointed regions by using quantiles and a vector quantizer based on training samples. The algorithm proposed is based on a piecewise approximation to regression function based on quantiles and conditional partition moments which are estimated by Robbins Monro Stochastic Approximation (RMSA) algorithm. The resulting equalizers and detectors are robust in the sense that they are insensitive to variations in noise distributions. The main idea is that the robust equalizers and robust partition detectors yield better performance in equiprobably partitioned subspace of observations than the conventional equalizer in unpartitioned observation space under any condition. And also, we apply this idea to the CDMA system and analyze the BER performance.

In this paper, we present a layered watermarking technique for digital audio data that is capable of detecting timing change and adapting complexity in detection. The proposed watermarking uses echo hiding as the first layer, which enables the detector to estimate linear speed change. The spread spectrum watermark is then inserted in the second layer which includes additional information like copyright data. We use two kinds of sequences in the second layer, one of which is for synchronization and the other is for data. The results of previous layer are used to make estimate of timing change in the next layer. The detector in the presented method can select detecting range form the first layer to the first layer, second pre-layer, or second main-layer due to the required system specification. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking technique is robust to several processing attacks including timing change.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Visible Light Communication (VLC) is opening up new services in lighting industry by integrating sensory network features in addition to standard illumination functionality. In this progressive developments, the next generation lighting devices for smart homes are capable to sense the environmental conditions and transfer the captured data through lights to gateway controller to access remotely. The smart home environmental sensor information's are few kbps only so VLC systems need to built-in with low rate light connectivity to transfer data to the gateway. To provide error free communication, the quality of a received light signal is important to be considered when designing an VLC receiver. Therefore, this paper proposes the design of robust low rate IoL receiver design using NCP302 voltage detector for micro controller to adapt the IoT/IoL front end module for system integration. To evaluate the proposed system performance, the Arduino UNO based IoT/IoL controller designed with lighting, sensors and lights connectivity interfaces. The experimental result shows that the robust interference rejection is feasible on proposed VOL receiver and possible to have an error-free communication up to 10 kbps at a low SNR using OOK modulation.
