A laser interferometer is the unique measurement device that can measure the range up to a few meters with sub-nano resolution and this characteristic makes it as the important sensing device for the emerging nano-mechatronics technologies. The laser interferometer, however, is very sensitive to the environments such as temperature, humidity, sound noises, vibrations and air turbulences and these factors result in a few hundred nano meter errors. There have been many efforts to reduce these environmental errors. The output of the laser interferometer is assumed to be the sum of a real displacement and a Markov process noise. The purpose of this paper is to develop Kalman filter algorithms to reduce the laser interferometer measurement errors by exploiting the information of displacements in position-servo systems.

It is known that the road noise on the rear seat of a hatchback type car is worse than that of a sedan type car because of the weakness on sealing structure. Therefore, a sound sealing system and sufficient absorption/insulation performance are required. In the case of a compact segment car, however, the application of the sufficient absorption and insulation materials is limited, because of the restriction on the production cost and weight of the car. In this study, we estimate the noise transmission path on the vehicle's body structure from tires and ground using the PBNR (Power Based Noise Reduction) method which is useful in quantitative measurement. Based on these results, we suggest an alternative absorption/insulation method for the better performance of rear seat road noise reduction in a compact hatchback car.

The precise measurement of ultrasonic power is important to the qualify assurance and the safety of medical ultrasonic equipments In the Present work, a brier theory was introduced to determine the ultrasonic Power from the time valving balance-indication due to the radiation force acting on an absorbing target and/or other causes such as buoyancy during the repetition of on/off behavior of ultrasonic irradiation. The developed automated system measuring the ultrasonic power was described in detail with the precise mechanical alignment tool , the electric signal generation network, the control and measurement network and the appropriate procedure. The ultrasonic power measured by the developed system was compared to the reference data calibrated by the other national metrology institute at 1 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, and 15 MHz over the range 10 mW to 10 W. Their relative differences are within $5\%$.

The measuring of acoustic intensity has been investigated by many researchers and practicians during the last several decades. But due to the lack of measurement accuracy, they have had no practical use. In recent years, the two microphone acoustic intensity method has been developed by the advancement of FFT analysis technique and the digital data processing equipment. This new method of using two microphones gives informations on the noise source survey and the acoustic power of sound radiation source without the anechoic room. In this paper, theoretical formulae for the two microphone acoustic intensity method and the sound transmission loss are checked. The obtained results for the acoustical enclosure of gas heat pump were compared with the classical field incidence mass law. The surface vibration modes for a panel of enclosure were also estimated.

Although the identification of a moving noise source is important in reducing the source power of the transport systems such as airplane or high speed train, the direct measurement of the frequency characteristics is usually difficult due to wind noise when using a microphone running with that noise source. On the other hand the motion of a source causes the frequency characteristics of the pass-by sound measured at a fixed point to be distorted that it is quite difficult to identify the original source characteristics. In this study the relationship between the spectra of the source and the pass-by sound signal is analyzed for a source moving at a constant velocity. The effects of the speed and the frequency characteristics of the source on the pass-by noise spectrum are investigated through numerical simulations.

Most of the test methods used for determining the acoustic performance of the noise barriers in Korean standards address the sound-proof panels but refer to noise barriers as a whole system or their in-situ performances less. Many new types of trains with different operating speeds have been developed and produced, and civil appeals against railway noise are becoming quite extensive. Considering these latest changes of circumstances, it is necessary to investigate the current standards and specifications pertaining to railway noise barriers. In this paper, criteria for the measurements and evaluations of noise barriers and sound-proof panels are examined and experimental studies are introduced. In order to suggest more efficient methods for reasonable evaluations of the noise barriers, frequency spectrums of the noise source, the power of the actual railway vehicles, are investigated and introduced.

Pressure pulsation Inside the discharge and suction cavity of rotary and scroll compressor are often a major source of objectionable noise and vibration. The key factor of these noise and vibration is due to the cavity resonance. It is not only necessary to understanding the characteristics of pulsation in order to reduce the excitation force of gas to the cavity but also to verifying the phenomena of cavity resonance. For the purpose of these understandings, measurement and simulation of cavity resonance can lead to a better understandings how they occur and be very important to identify the ways to reduce the noise efficiently. In this paper, modeling of the cavity(internal acoustics inside the shell) is discussed and simulated using FEM. Results from the simulation are compared with those measurement in experiments. In describing of cavity mode by experiments, it is very important to specify the exact conditions under which they are measured. Finally, this paper shows the one example of reduced cavity resonance in the compressor.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the evaluation of gastrointestinal parasympathetic nerve activity by comparing between HRV and bowel sound parameters in patients with functional dyspepsia. Methods : 62 patients (male 22, female 40) were enrolled. HRV was measured in all patients. and TP (total power), LF (low frequency density: 0.04$\sim$0.15Hz), HF (high frequency density: 0.15$\sim$0.4Hz). and LF/HF ratio were analyzed. HF band is a reflection of parasympathetic activity. and the LF-to-HF ratio is considered a marker of sympathovagal balance. Bowel sounds were recorded at the day after, and postprandial %BS was used to indicate the gastric vagal activity after eating. HRV and bowel sound parameters were compared. and correlation between them was analyzed. Results : There was no difference in LF/HF ratio between patient group and healthy group of other report. According to values of %BS, each patient was classified into a normal (>6 %BS) or hypoactivity (<6 %BS) of gastric vagus nerve group. HF component of the hypoactivity group was not significantly higher than that of the normal group. There was no correlation between HRV and bowel sound parameters. Conclusions : Because no correlation was found between HRV and bowel sound parameters in patients with functional dyspepsia, we concluded that it is not proper to evaluate gastric vagus nerve activity by HRV measurement.

This experimental study deals with the characteristics of LCD or PDP TV set noise, which are differ form those of CRT TV set. These characteristics are most important for establishing the effective method to reduce noise level, searching for the appropriate exposure level and evaluation method of LCD or PDP TV set noise. This study adopt two measurement method to specify the power level of LCD or PDP TV set noise in anechoic room(ISO 3741) and reverberation room(ISO 3745) . Comparing with each results of the two method, the reverberation room method is more simple in measuring and calculating the power level. And the subjective response test are carried out to select the pair of appropriate adjectives to present the characteristics of LCD or PDP TV set noise. The pair of 17 adjectives are selected from the 168 adjectives which are used in presenting the sound and noise form literature.

Intrinsic alignments (IA), the coherent alignment of intrinsic galaxy orientations, can be a source of a systematic error of weak lensing surveys. The redshift evolution of IA also contains information about the physics of galaxy formation and evolution. We present the first measurement of IA at high redshift, z~1.4, using the spectroscopic catalog of blue star-forming galaxies of the FastSound redshift survey, with the galaxy shape information from the Canada-Hawaii-France telescope lensing survey. The IA signal is consistent with zero with power-law amplitudes fitted to the projected correlation functions for density-shape and shape-shape correlation components, $A_{\delta+}=-0.0040\pm 0.0754$ and $A_{++}=-0.0159\pm 0.0271$, respectively. These results are consistent with those obtained from blue galaxies at lower redshifts (e.g., $A_{\delta+}=0.0035_{-0.0389}^{+0.0387}$ and $A_{++}=0.0045_{-0.0168}^{+0.0166}$ at z=0.51 from the WiggleZ survey), suggesting no strong redshift evolution of IA. The upper limit of the constrained IA amplitude corresponds to a few percent contamination to the weak-lensing shear power spectrum, resulting in systematic uncertainties on the cosmological parameter estimations by $-0.035<\Delta \sigma_8<0.026$ and $-0.025<\Delta \Omega_{\mathrm m}<0.019$.
