The directivity of an underwater sound source should be measured in an acoustically open field such as a calm sea or lake, or an anechoic water tank facility. However, technical difficulties arise when practically implementing this in open fields. Signal processing-based techniques such as a sound intensity method and near-field acoustic holography have been adopted to overcome the problem, but these are inefficient in terms of acquisition and maintenance costs. This study established a simple directivity estimation technique with data acquisition, filtering, and analysis tools. A numerical simulation based on an acoustic radiosity method showed that the technique is practicable for sound source directivity estimation in a diffused reverberant acoustic field like a reverberant water tank.

In order to make unmanned machining systems with satisfactory performances, it is necessary to incorporate appropriate condition monitoring systems in the machining workstations to provide the required intelligence of the expert. This paper deals with condition monitoring for tool wear and breakage during turning operation. Developing economic sensing and identification methods for turning processes, sound pressure measurement and digital signal processing technique are proposed. The validity of the proposed system is confirmed through the large number of cutting tests.

Human hearing sensitivity is frequency-dependent. The sensitivity is low at both ends of the audible frequency, and the sensitivity is the highest in the middle band at 3000 Hz. The heart sound of a healthy person is concentrated at a low frequency of 200 Hz or less, and despite using a stethoscope, the hearing sensitivity of the human body is low, and the stethoscope sound is low. Amplifying the sound of the stethoscope is not effective in distinguishing heart sounds in noisy environments because it maintains the same signal-to-noise ratio. In this study, a method of enhancing auditory stimulation was developed by applying a method of moving the spectrum of auscultation sounds into a high-frequency region where the human body is highly sensitive to hearing. The spectrum of the auscultation sound was moved up by 500 Hz in the frequency domain, and an inverse fast Fourier transform (FFT) was performed to reconstruct the auscultation sound. The heart sounds reconstructed by moving the spectra were divided into the first heart and second heart sound components, as in the original heart sound, and it was confirmed that the intensity was large in the cochleagram representing auditory stimulation. Therefore, this study suggested that spectral shift is a method to enhance auditory stimulation during auscultation without increasing the intensity of the auscultation sound.

본 논문에서는 가야금의 안족과 몸통의 임펄스 응답을 이용하여 가야금의 사운드를 합성하였다. 디지털 도파관을 이용한 물리적 모델링에서 가야금의 소리를 제어하는 부분은 현과 몸통, 안족의 세 가지 시스템으로 구성되며, 이 시스템은 직렬 선형적으로 결합된다. 가야금 현의 모델은 지연라인만으로 구현되었고, 몸통과 안족은 각각의 임펄스 응답으로부터 추정하였다. 몸통의 임펄스 응답으로부터 3 개의 공명 주파수를 찾아 이를 공명기로 구현하여 몸통으로 대체하고, 안족은 기본 주파수 대역에 대하여 고역통과필터 특성을 갖는 시스템으로 구현하였다. 합성된 가야금 사운드의 오차(RMSE)는 주로 0.01-0.03 의 아주 작은 값의 분포를 보였다.

가로축 방식이 아닌 세로축 방식으로 초음파를 송수신하여 골밀도 측정을 하는 장치를 개발하였다. 반사된 초음파의 시간 차이를 이용하는 speed of sound (SOS) 방식은 주파수 차이를 비교하는 broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) 방식에 비하여 더욱 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 측정부위의 경우 엄지는 초음파 수신율이 좋으나 피부 두께의 변위가 많은 단점을 고려하여 중지를 채택하여 정확성을 높였다. SOS 방식만을 사용하여 측정한 결과 기존의 dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) 방식과 비교하여 거의 동일한 정확도를 얻을 수 있었다.

The positions of rotating sound sources have been localized by experiments with the Doppler effects removed. In order to de-Dopplerize the sound signals emitted from moving sources, two kinds of signal reconstruction methods were applied. One is the forward propagation method and the other is the backward propagation method. Forward propagation method analyze the source emission time based on the instantaneous distance between sensors and the assumed source position, then the signals are reconstructed with respect to the emission time. On the other hand, the backward method uses time delay to do-Dopplerize the acquired data for the received time of reference. In both techniques. the reconstructed signal data were processed using beamforming algorithm to produce power distributions at the frequencies of interest. Experiments have been carried out for varying frequencies, rotating speeds and the object distances. It is shown that the forward propagation method gives better performance in locating source position than the backward propagation method.

As wearable devices are powered by batteries, they need to consume as little energy as possible. To address this challenge, in this article, we propose a synergistic technique for energy-efficient approximate speech signal processing (ASSP) for wearable devices. More specifically, to enable the efficient trade-off between energy consumption and sound quality, we synergistically integrate an approximate multiplier and a successive approximate register analog-to-digital converter using our enhanced conversion algorithm. The proposed ASSP technique provides ~40% lower energy consumption with ~5% higher sound quality than a traditional one that optimizes only the bit width of SSP.

In this paper, time-frequency analysis and multi-dimensional spectral analysis methods are applied to source identification and diagnostic of non-stationary sound vibration signals. By checking the coherences for concerned time, this simulation is very well coincident to expected results. The proposed method analyzes the signal instantaneously in both time and frequency domains. The MDSA (Multiple Dimensional Spectral Analysis) analyzes the signal in the plane of instantaneous time and instantaneous frequency at the same time. And it was verified by using the 1500cc passenger car which is accelerated from 70Hz to 95Hz in 4 seconds, the proposed method is effective in determining the vehicle diagnostic problems.

Heart sound contains rich information regarding the dynamics of the heart and the auscultation has been a first choice of routine procedures for diagnosis of the heart. However, heart sounds captured using a conventional stethoscope are not often loud or clear enough for doctors to precisely classify their characteristics, especially, under the noisy environments of the hospital. A simple auscultation device that removed shortcomings of the conventional stethoscope was constructed in the study. The device employed a polymer based adherent differential output sensor which was on contact with skin through a coupling medium and appropriated electronic circuits for signal amplification and conditioning An ordinary headphone is taken to hear the captured heart sounds and the volume can be adjusted to hear well. It is also possible that the device sends the captured heart sound signals to a PC where the signals are further processed and viualized.
