Background and Objectives: Detection of auditory signals may be improved when maskers far from the frequency of the target signal are coherently amplitude-modulated. This improvement of signal detection is called comodulation masking release (CMR). In the CMR experiments, flankers have been usually arranged symmetrically. In practice, we will be confronted with a problem by using symmetric flankers due to the limited output of clinical audiometers, especially at high-frequency. We aimed to check whether flanker arrangement has any effect on the amount of CMR, especially when there is no flankers with a frequency higher than the signal. Subjects and Methods: Eighteen normal hearing listeners ranging in age from 20 to 46 years old participated. Symmetric (2-2) and asymmetric (3-1 and 4-0) flankers were used and then the amount of CMR compared among them. Results: Our results showed in the same numbers of flankers, there were no statistically CMR differences between symmetric and asymmetric arrangement. Also when we did not have a flanker at a frequency higher than the signal and all flankers were placed below the signal, there was no statistically difference with the symmetric arrangement. Conclusions: The asymmetry of the flankers and also omitting the flankers with a frequency higher than the signal, have no effect on CMR results. We concluded that CMR can be considered by using clinical audiometer.

New capacitance modeling and transient analysis for multi-layer interconnects with shielding effect are presented. The upper layer capacitances with under-layer shielding lines are represented by introducing a filling factor η which can be defined as the ratio of upper-layer line length to the total under-layer line width. The upper-layer effective self capacitances considering two extreme cases which the underlayer metals are assumed as a ground or as a Vdd are modeled. The signal transient analysis with shielding effect model is performed.

The peculiar motion of the observer, if not (or only imperfectly) accounted for, is bound to induce a well-defined clustering signal in the distribution of galaxies. This spurious signal is related to the Kaiser rocket effect. We examined the amplitude of this effect and discuss possible implications for analysis and interpretation of future cosmological surveys. We found that it can in principle bias very significantly the inference of cosmological parameters, especially for primordial non-Gaussianity.

In TV sound system, loudspeakers are subject to severe size constraints. The small size of the transducer affects the low frequency signal performance of the system. Bass signal performance contributes significantly to the user perceived sound quality and a good bass signal reproduction is essential. Increasing the sound energy in the bass signal range is an unviable solution since the gain required are exceedingly high and signal distortion occurs because of the speaker overload. Recently methods are being proposed to invoke low frequency illusion using psychoacoustic phenomena of the missing fundamental. This paper proposes a simple and effective signal processing method to create bass signal illusion in TV speakers using the missing fundamental effect, at a complexity of 12 MIPS on Motorola 56371 audio DSP.

In this paper, a single degree-of freedom gimbal-structured micro gyroscope and signal processing part including capacitive sensing circuits and filters are designed, fabricated and experimented. We use capacitive sensing method with excitation signal, i.e. sensing excitation signal, to measure the displacement of the moving plate. So, Sensing Output Signal is modulated twice by the excitation signal and driving signal, which is profitable to decouple the driving and sensing mode, to reduce the effect of the acceleration, and to curtail the noises due to parasitic capacitance and driving signal. To reduce driving noises and to improve linearity, the excitation signals and driving signals are modified. Through frequency response analyses ...

자기공명 영상 시스템에서 영상을 얻고자 하는 물체내의 자화율 차이는 복셀내의 스핀들의 위상을 변화시킨다. 또한 스핀들 상호간의 위상변화로 인하여 영상 신호는 감쇄된다. 이러한 신호 세기의 감쇄는 자기공명 영상분야에서 자화율 효과라 알려져 왔고 이런 효과를 억제시키거나 또는 이용하는 연구가 심도있게 논의되어왔다. 본 논문에서 자화율 효과로 인한 신호의 변화를 분석할 수 있는 새로운 스펙트럼 분해법과 영상법을 제안하였다. 그리고 자화율 스펙트럼 분해법을 위한 펄스시퀀스를 개발하였고, 이것을 상자성(paramagnetic) 성질 때문에 자화율 효과가 생기는 정맥영상에 적용하였다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험과 팬텀(phantom)을 대상으로 한 실험 결과로 스펙트럼 분해법의 타당성을 보였다.

In this paper, UWB system did research about effect that interference effect with neighborhood single equipment or nearby group equipment gets In DMB service. 2.6425GHz satellite digital multimedia broadcasting service(SDMB) that electric wave interference special quality is contiguity frequency-band including interference of signal by unnecessary radiation level that is radiated in UWB system, and 3.4125GHz broadcasting relay net that is In-band frequency-band and interference effect degree that get in service did comparative analysis. SDMB system was BER $1{\times}10^{-4}$ that interference effect happens from 6.5m point and broadcasting signal reception is possible at 4m point. Also, it was BER $1{\times}10^{-4}$ that interference effect begins to happen from 5.0m point about center frequency 3.4126GHz and broadcasting signal reception is possible at 2m point. And, confirmed that UWB system of impulse method is less interference effect about 2 dB than UWB system of OFDM method, to electric wave of UWB system that is small output

An experimental study on LII signal images from soot particles in a flame has been carried out in order to investigate the effect of the incident laser characteristics. By changing the wavelength of the incident laser beam, the LII signal was saturated at smaller laser power with 532 nm than 1,064 nm. This implies that the larger absorption coefficient of soot particles at 532 nm would influence the LII signal characteristic. Using the deconvolution technique, the projected LII line images were coverted to reconstruct the local LII signals inside the beam. The results show that the LII images at ICCD camera result from the integration of LII signal across the laser beam.

The multi-frequency eddy current technique has been used for evaluation of various type of defects in tubings. However, this technique is not sufficient to detect and evaluate the defect in tubings if the defect is located in the geometrically complicated area(e. g. tube support plate, anti-vibration bar, tubesheet area) and mixing residue signal is significant to the defect signal. In order to improve the reliability of the multi-frequency eddy current technique, the effect of the interaction of mixing residue after frequency mixing with a function of distances between the defect and the tube support plate boundary has been analyzed theoretically. The experimental results have been discussed with the theoretical developments. The calculation shows the interaction between the two neighboring signal sources could be significant within the range of approximately 1.0mm with the experimental condition.
