In real environment, background noise exists everywhere and degrades the performance of system. To reduce this distortion, a speech enhancement algorithm can be very useful and variety methods have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a postfilter to improve the performance of optimally modified log-spectral amplitude (OM-LSA) estimator. Proposed algorithm uses the formant postfilter to minimize perceptual distortion caused by background noise. We adjust an emphasizing parameter which is varied by spectral flatness and first reflection coefficient. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by measuring the log-spectral distance (LSD) and the perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) score. The test results show the improvement of proposed algorithm compared to conventional OM-LSA.

Optical monitoring using the chromatic aberration of focusing optics is applied to auto-focus control in laser welding. The spectral transmittance of thermal radiation from a weld pool through an aperture depends on the wavelength of the spectral band and on the distance of the weld pool from the focusing optics. Its dependence has been used to monitor the focus shift in laser welding by measuring the spectral band signals filtered by the aperture. The difference between pulsed and continuous laser welding is analyzed. Furthermore, the dependence of the focus shift monitoring on the weld pool size variation is optimized to monitor the focus shift independently from the laser power change at the weld pool. The performance of the auto-focus control with chromatic filtering is presented for pulsed laser welding.

In this paper, the spatial and spectral characteristics of an optical demultiplexer based on a chirp volume holographic grating are presented. The chirp grating is recorded by illuminating the photopolymer film under the interference of a convergent beam and divergent beam. The dependence of the spatial distance on the grating-focusing lens separation is observed. The bandwidth and the crosstalk between two channels with 0.4-nm spectral interval are 0.13 nm and 12 dB, respectively.

In this paper higher order spectral techniques are applied to some simple mechanical systems. The system studied is the nonlinear magnetic beam. This is a simply supported beam, driven by an electromagnetic shaker. At the free end, pairs of repelling magnets are placed. By varying the position and number of magnets, the nature of the nonlinearity can be changed, be it skewed or symmetric, and by varying the distance between the magnets the strength of the nonlinearity can also be altered. Using this controllable system, auto higher order spectral methods are applied, assuming only a knowledge of an output signal.

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been successfully utilized for the rapid identification of six typical petroleum products such as light straight-run (LSR), naphtha, kerosine, light gas oil (LGO), gasoline, and diesel. The spectral features of each product were reasonably differentiated in the NIR region, and the spectral differences provided enough qualitative spectral information for discrimination. For discrimination, principal component analysis (PCA) combined with Mahalanobis distance was used to identify each petroleum product from NIR spectra. The results showed that each product was accurately identified with an accuracy over 95%. Most noticeably, LSR, kerosine, gasoline, and diesel samples were predicted with identification accuracy of 99%. The overall results ensure that a portable NIR instrument combined with a multivariate qualitative discrimination method can be efficiently utilized for rapid and simple identification of petroleum products. This is especially important when local at-site measurements are necessary, such as accidental petroleum leakage and regulation of illegal product blending.

Dynamic compaction (DC) is a useful method for improvement of granular soils. The method is based on falling a tamper (weighting 5 to 40 ton) from the height of 15 to 30 meters on loose soil that results in stress distribution, vibration of soil particles and desirable compaction of the soil. Propagation of the waves during tamping affects adjacent structures and causes structural damage or loss of performance. Therefore, determination of the safe or critical distance from tamping point to prevent structural hazards is necessary. According to FHWA, the critical distance is defined as the limit of a particle velocity of 76 mm/s. In present study, the ABAQUS software was used for numerical modeling of DC process and determination of the safe distance based on particle velocity criterion. Different variables like alluvium depth, relative density, and impact energy were considered in finite element modeling. It was concluded that for alluvium depths less than 10 m, reflection of the body waves from lower boundaries back to the soil and resonance phenomenon increases the critical distance. However, the critical distance decreases for alluvium depths more than 10 m. Moreover, it was observed that relative density of the alluvium does not significantly influence the critical distance value.

This paper presents development and testing of a new numerical spectral domain algorithm devoted to blocking unsuccessful automatic reclosing onto permanent faults and the fault distance calculation. The arc voltage amplitude and the fault distance are calculated from the fundamental and third harmonics of the terminal voltages and currents phasors. From the calculated arc voltage amplitude it can be concluded if the fault is transient arcing fault or permanent arcless fault. If the fault is permanent automatic reclosure should be blocked. The algorithm can be applied for adaptive autoreclosure, distance protection, and fault location. The results of algorithm testing through computer simulation are given.

The visible threshold of Oreochromis niloticus responded to high light intensity under short wavelengths, whereas the response to low light intensity under long wavelengths was low, with a minimum visual threshold of 574 nm of LED lights. Movement distance of O. niloticus was dropped at 31℃ and increased abnormally at 37℃ under natural light. Comparing movement distance under red (622 nm) and green (518 nm) lights of LED, movement distance and swimming speed under red and green lights were higher than under natural light. However, the movement distance decreased rapidly at 31℃ under red light and lowest at 33℃ under green light. After that, there was a tendency to adapt to high water temperatures gradually. Consequently, red and green lights may be recommended for O. niloticus's aquaculture because the red and green lights have a positive effect on growth performance, survival rate, and metabolism, as shown in previous studies. It is necessary to control the water temperature below 32℃ because abnormal behavior above 32℃ revealed under red and green LED lights and natural light.

선 스펙트럼 주파수를 양자화하기 위한 대부분의 방법들이 가중 유클리드 거리에 기반하고 있는 반면, 본 논문에서는 청각 마스킹 효과에 기반한 에러 척도를 사용하여 선 스펙트럼 주파수를 효과적으로 양자화하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법에서는 noise-to-mask ratio (NMR)를 선 스펙트럼 주파수의 양자화에 적합하도록 변형한 새로운 에러 척도를 유도하고, 이를 사용하여 선 스펙트럼 주파수를 양자화한다. 한편, 본 논문에서는 양자화하고자 하는 음성 프레임이 갖는 청각적인 특성을 고려하여 동적으로 비트를 할당하는 적응 양자화 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 성능 평가를 위해서 11948 프레임의 테스트 자료를 기존의 방법과 제안한 방법으로 각자 양자화하고 perceptually transparent frame의 비운 및 이때의 평균 비트율을 비교한 결과, 기존의 방법이 1800 bps의 비트율에서 89.9%의 perceptually transparent frame을 얻은 데 비해, 제안한 방법은 770 bps의 평균 비트율에서 95.5%의 perceptually transparent frame을 얻음으로써 제안한 방법이 효과적임을 보였다.

Multi-Spectral Camera(MSC) is a payload on the KOMPSAT -2 satellite to perform the earth remote sensing. The instrument images the earth using a push-broom motion with a swath width of 15 km and a ground sample distance (GSD) of 1 m over the entire field of view (FOV) at altitude 685 Km. The instrument is designed to have an on-orbit operation duty cycle of $20\%$ over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable gain! offset and onboard image data compression/storage. MSC instrument has one(1) channel for panchromatic Imaging and four(4) channel for multi-spectral Imaging covering the spectral range from 450nm to 900nm using TDI CCD Focal Plane Array (FPA). In this paper, the configuration, the interface of MSC hardware and the MSC operation concept are described. And the method of the MSC calibration are described and the design of MSC calibration operation to measure the change of MSC after Launch & Early Operation(LEOP) and normal mission operations are discussed and analyzed.
