The best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) is most suitable for practical application and can be determined with knowledge of only the first and second moments of the probability density function. Although the BLUE is an existing algorithm, it is still largely unexplored and has not yet been applied to channel estimation in amplify and forward (AF)-based wireless relay networks (WRNs). In this paper, a BLUE-based algorithm is proposed to estimate the overall channel impulse response between the source and destination of AF strategy-based WRNs. Theoretical mean square error (MSE) performance for the BLUE is derived to show the accuracy of the proposed channel estimation algorithm. In addition, the Cram$\acute{e}$r-Rao lower bound (CRLB) is derived to validate the MSE performance. The proposed BLUE channel estimation algorithm approaches the CRLB as the length of the training sequence and number of relays increases. Further, the BLUE performs better than the linear minimum MSE estimator due to the minimum variance characteristic exhibited by the BLUE, which happens to be a function of signal-to-noise ratio.

The main function of Ball-Stop part is to operate power shift for vehicle with more than 5 ton when a driver changes gear using suitable force. This paper presents the implementation of a DFSS(Design For Six Sigma) for robust design of Ball-Stop part of power shift. The factors influencing Ball-Stop part performance is derived to find control factor. Based on this factor, contact force between head and detent pin analysis is performed to get optimal factor is analyzed and compared with contact force test result to verify reliability of design. This makes clear the reason why the proposed one is necessary and the role of DFSS.

Modified poplar has emerged as a potential raw material for furniture production. Lack of specific modified poplar strength information; however, restricts applications in the furniture industry especially as related to strength in corner-joints. Optimization of strength in L-shaped corner dowel modified poplar joints under compression loads utilizing finite element analysis (FEA) by Taguchi method with the focus of this study. Four experiment factors (i.e., Structure Style, Tenon Length, Tenon Diameter, and Tenon Gap), each at three levels, were conducted by adopting a $L_9-3^4$ Taguchi orthodoxy array (OA) to determine the optimal combination of factors and levels for the von Mises stress utilizing ANSYS software. Results of Signal-to-Noise ratio (S/N) analysis and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed the optimal L-shaped corner dowel joint in modified poplar is $45^{\circ}$ Bevel Butt in structure style, 24 mm in tenon length, 6 mm in tenon diameter, and 20 mm in tenon gap. Tenon length and tenon gap are determined to be significant design factors for affecting von Mises Stress. Confirmation tests with optimal levels and experimental test indicated the predicted optimal condition is comparable to the actual experimental optimal condition.

When considering the proper function and life cycle length of a product, its surface finish plays an important role. This experimental study was carried out to understand the effect of input factors on surface roughness and how it can be minimized by controlling the input parameters. This experimental work was performed by machining the surface of STD 61 blocks with a surface inclined at $30^{\circ}$ by ball end-milling and optimizing the input parameters using the Taguchi technique. Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied to find the significance of the input parameters. The optimum level of input parameters to minimize surface roughness was obtained.

It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propa gation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibra lion by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of $f_0(=100Hz)$ is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration ${\times}{\;}(t)$ is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal ${\times}{\;}(t.)$ at the frequencies ($f_0,{\;}f_0$) and ($f_0,{\;}2f_0$) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, where since bispectrum is free from the gallssian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is con structed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization.

The experimental analysis presented aims at the selection of the most optimal machining parameter combination for wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) of STD11. Based on the Taguchi experimental design ($L_{27}$ orthogonal array) method, a series of experiments were performed by considering time-on, voltage, time-off, wire speed, and flow rate as input parameters. The surface roughness was considered responses. Based on the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, the influence of the input parameters on the responses was determined. The optimal machining parameters setting for the minimum surface roughness was found using Taguchi methodology. In order to investigate the effects of process parameters on the surface machined by WEDM, Several experiments are conducted to consider effects of time-on, voltage, time-off, wire speed and flow rate on the surface roughness. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) as well as regression analysis are performed on experimental data. The best results of surface roughness were obtained at higher voltage, lower wire speed, and lower time-on.

Spectroscopic observations of barium star ${\zeta}$ Capricornus (HD204075) obtained at the 8.2 m telescope of the European Southern Observatory, with a spectral resolving power R = 80,000 and signal to noise ratio greater than 300, were used to refine the atmospheric parameters. We found new values for effective temperature ($T_{eff}=5,300{\pm}50K$), surface gravity ($log\;g=1.82{\pm}0.15$), micro-turbulent velocity ($v_{micro}=2.52{\pm}0.10km/s$), and iron abundance ($log\;N(Fe)=7.32{\pm}0.06$). Previously published abundances of chemical elements in the atmosphere of HD204075 were analyzed and no correlations of these abundances with the second ionization potentials of these elements were found. This excludes the possible influence of accretion of hydrogen and helium atoms from the interstellar or circumstellar environment to the atmosphere of this star. The accretion of nuclear processed matter from the evolved binary companion was primary cause of the abundance anomalies. The young age of HD204075 allows an estimation of the time-scale for the creation of the abundance anomalies arising from accretion of interstellar hydrogen and helium as is the case of stars with low magnetic fields; which we estimate should exceed $10^8$ years.

단일 쌍극자 모델을 source localization 문제에 적용시키는 것은 초보적이기도 하지만 필수적이기도 하다. 시abf레이션을 이용하여 단일 쌍극자를 추적함으로써 얻은 결과는 실제 인간의 뇌에 관한 EEG 임상 실험에 여러가지 정보를 제공해줄 수 있기 때문이다. 이번 논문에서는 EEG실험에서의 전극 배치가 S/N(signal to noise ratio)과 추정 오차 사이에 어떤 영향을 미치는 가를 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션으로 조사하였다. 머리모델은 3중 구각 모델을 사용하였고 이를 이용하여 forward problem을 계산하였다. 쌍극자 파라미터를 minimization하는 문제는 simplex method를 이용하여 계산하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과, 특이한 점은 전극의 밀도와 입체각에 의해 쌍극자 파라미터 오차가 변화했다는 사실이다. 이것은 곧바로 전극 배치와 연관이 된다. 실제 EEG 실험에서 전극배치를 어떻게 했는가에 따라 그에 따른 오차가 변화한다.

표면 거칠기가 다른 유리시편에 대해 후방 복사된 초음파 세기의 입사각 의존성(프로파일)이 측정되었다. 후방복사 세기와 레일리(Rayleigh) 표면파 속도는 표면 거칠기에 비례하였고 이 경향은 각기 초음파의 산란규칙과 경화현상으로 설명되었다. 후방복사 프로파일의 면적 역시 표면 거칠기에 민감함을 보여 표면상태에 대한 새로운 비파괴적 평가 변수의 가능성을 보였다. 레일리 각 C-스캔 기법은 화상 명도의 반전과 높은 신호대 잡음비(S/N)를 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 다공홀 인젝터 내부 유동에 대한 CFD 시뮬레이션 해석(ANSYS 13.0 CFX)을 직접 수행하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 인젝터 노즐 설계변수가 캐비테이션에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 실험계획법이 적용되었다. 각 설계변수의 설계민감도 및 신호 대 잡음비 분석을 위해 캐비테이션 유동에 영향을 미친다고 판단되는 설계변수는 노즐 홀 직경, 노즐 홀 길이, 노즐 홀 각도 및 노즐 홀의 K-factor로 지정하였다. 또한 16 개 실험점으로 각 변수의 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 노즐 내부유동을 파악하기 위하여 수치해석 프로그램과 신호 대 잡음비 분석이 본 논문에 적용되었고 그 결과, K-factor의 변화가 노즐 홀 길이와 노즐 홀 각도의 변화보다 인젝터 내부 캐비테이션 생성에 미치는 영향이 더 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
