본 논문에서는 물리적으로 제한된 길이를 갖는 어레이를 확장시키는 어레이 합성기법을 제안한다. 기존의 확장 견인 어레이 측정기법(Extended Towed Array Measurements)에서는, 어레이의 이동에 따라 중첩되는 하이드로폰 사이의 공간적 배치상태가 적절한 위치에서 일치해야 하는 제한을 갖는다. 그러나 어레이를 합성하여 확장하는데 요구되는 위상보정성분은, 협대역 신호의 경우 위치제약에 관계없이 추정할 수 있다. 결과적으로 어레이 합성에 필요한 공간 표본 수를 증가시킬 수 있으며, 이를 통해 일반적으로 SNR이 낮은 수중 환경에서 고해상도의 방향추정 성능을 가지는 어레이 합성기법을 얻게 된다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 검증한 결과 SNR에 따른 방향추정오차가 감소하였다.

Due to the increased complexity and size of digital system and the need of the H/W-S/W co-design, C/C++ based system design methodology gains more Interests than ever in EDA field. This paper suggests the methodology in which handshake module corresponding to each basic statement of C is provided of the form of STG(Signal Transition Graph) and then, C statements is synthesized into asynchronous circuit through syntax-oriented translation. The 4-phase handshaking protocol is used for the communications between modules, and the modules are synthesized by the Petrify which is asynchronous logic synthesis CAD tool.

In this paper, we realize a real time digital FM synthesizer based on genetic algorithm using a general purpose digital signal processor. Especially, we synthesize diverse music sounds nicely using a synthesis model consisting of a single modulator and multiple carriers. Also we present genetic algorithm-based technique which determines optimal parameters for reconstruction through FM synthesis of a sound after analyzing the spectrum of PCM data as a standard music sound using FFT. Using the suggested parameter extractiuon algorithm, we extract parameters of several instruments and then synthesize digital FM sounds. To verify the validity of the parameter extraction algorithm as well as realization of a real time digital music synthesizer, the evaluation is first done by listening the sound directly as subjective test. Secondly, to evaluate the synthesized sound objectively with an engineering sense, we compare the synthesized sound with an original one in a time domain and a frequency domain.

In this paper, we propose a maximum-likelihood estimation(MLE) method to obtain the location and the amplitude of the pulses in MPE( multi-pulse excitation)-LPC speech synthesis using multi-pulses as excitation source. This MLE method computes the value maximizing the likelihood function with respect to unknown parameters(amplitude and position of the pulses) for the observed data sequence. Thus in the case of overlapped pulses, the method is equivalent to Ozawa's crosscorrelation method, resulting in equal amount of computation and sound quality with the cross-correlation method. We show by computer simulation: the multi-pulses obtained by MLE method are(1) pseudo-periodic in pitch in the case of voicde sound, (2) the pulses are random for unvoiced sound, (3) the pulses change from random to periodic in the interval where the original speech signal changes from unvoiced to voiced. Short time power specta of original speech and syunthesized speech obtained by using multi-pulses as excitation source are quite similar to each other at the formants.

In this paper, we propose a synthesis algorithm for the design of low powe rcombinational circuits under area constraints. The proposed algorithm partitions a given circuit into several subcircuits such that only a selected subcircuit is activated at a time, hence reduce unnecessary signal transitions. Partitioning of a given circuit is performed through adaptive simulated annealing algorithm employing the cost function reflecting poer consumption under area constraints. Experimental reuslts for the MCNC benchmark circuits show that the proposed algorithm generates the circuits which consume less power by 61.1% and 51.1%, when compared to those generated by the sis 1.2 and the precomputation algorithm, respectively.

In a hidden Markov model-based speech synthesis system using a two-band excitation model, a maximum voiced frequency (MVF) is the most important feature as an excitation parameter because the synthetic speech quality depends on the MVF. This paper proposes an enhanced MVF estimation scheme based on a peak picking method. In the proposed scheme, both local peaks and peak lobes are picked from the spectrum of a linear predictive residual signal. The average of the normalized distances of local peaks and peak lobes is calculated and utilized as a feature to estimate an MVF. Experimental results of both objective and subjective tests show that the proposed scheme improves the synthetic speech quality compared with that of a conventional one in a mobile device as well as a PC environment.

A new log-domain first-order multifunction filter is proposed in this letter. The proposed filter is systematically derived using the state-space synthesis procedure from a corresponding block diagram. It provides low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP), and all-pass (AP) responses simultaneously for a single input signal. The filter circuit has a very simple structure since it uses only bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and a grounded capacitor. It can be electronically tuned by changing an external current. The filter has a greater bandwidth due to its inherent current-mode and log-domain operations. PSPICE simulations are given to confirm the theoretical analysis.

This paper introduces a systematic top-down and bottom-up design methodology to assist the designer in the implementation of continuous-time (CT) cascade sigma-delta (${\Sigma}{\Delta}$) modulators. The salient features of this methodology are (a) flexible behavioral modeling for optimum accuracy-efficiency trade-offs at different stages of the top-down synthesis process, (b) direct synthesis in the continuous-time domain for minimum circuit complexity and sensitivity, (c) mixed knowledge-based and optimization-based architectural exploration and specification transmission for enhanced circuit performance, and (d) use of Pareto-optimal fronts of building blocks to reduce re-design iterations. The applicability of this methodology will be illustrated via the design of a 12-bit 20 MHz CT ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ modulator in a 1.2 V 130 nm CMOS technology.

Genus Bacillus is a spore-forming bacterium that has unique properties in cell differentiation, allowing the forming of spores in stress conditions and activated in the vegetative cell, with suitable environments occurring during the life cycle acting as a trigger. Their habitat is mainly in soil; thus, many species of Bacillus are associated with plants as well as rhizosphere bacteria and endophytic bacteria. Signal transduction is the principal mechanism of interactions, both within the cell community and with the external environment, which provides the subsequent functions or properties for the cell. The antimicrobial compounds of Bacillus sp. are potentially useful products, which have been used in agriculture for the inhibition of phytopathogens, for the stimulation of plant growth, and in the food industry as probiotics. There are two systems for the synthesis of these substances: nonribosomal synthesis of cyclic lipopeptides (NRPS) and polyketides (PKS). For each group, the structures, properties, and genes of the main products are described. The different compounds described and the way in which they co-exist exhibit the relationship of Bacillus substances to plants, humans, and animals.
