We have fabricated the low noise liquid helium(LHe) dewar with a different shape of thermal shield to apply the 64-channel SQUID(Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) gradiometer. The first shape of thermal shield was made of an aluminum plate with a wide width of 100 mm slit and the other shape was modified with a narrow width of 20 mm slit. The two types of dewars were estimated by comparing the thermal noise and the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) of magnetocardiography(MCG) using the $1^{st}$ order SQUID gradiometer system cooled each dewar. The white noise was different as a point of the dewar. The noise was increased as close as the edge of dewar, and also increased at the thermal shield with the more wide width slit. The white noise of the dewar with thermal shield of 100 mm slit was 6.5 fT/$Hz^{1/2}$ at the center of dewar and 25 fT/$Hz^{1/2}$ at the edge, and the white noise of the other one was 3.5 - 7 fT/$Hz^{1/2}$. We measured the MCG using 64-channel SQUID gradiometer cooled at each LHe dewar and compared the SNR of MCG signal. The SNR was improved of 10 times at the LHe dewar with a modified thermal shield.

This paper describes the evaluation of noise influence for residental and boundary areas in 75MW thermal power plant. It includes the measurements of noise level around the boundary area of the plant, identification of noise propagating path, and discussion on the measures. Noise assessments are carried out based on the ISO 3744, ISO 9613-1 and ISO 9613-2 to predict the noise distribution of specific locations from the noise sources such as power transformers, flash vent-pipe, I.D.fan, and stack. It is identified the vent-pipe of flash tank in thermal power plant as the root cause of the environmental noise during the plant commissioning process.

In this paper, the uncertainty in the calibration of coaxial thermal noise sources using a noise figure measuring (NFM) equipment is evaluated. Contributions to the uncertainty such as the calibration uncertainty of the standard noise source, mismatch, measurement of adapter efficiency, ambient temperature variation, and repeatability are evaluated in the frequency range of 10 MHz to 18 ㎓. Results show that the expanded uncertainty(k=2) is 0.23 ㏈ for the noise sources of 5 ㏈ and 15 ㏈ ENR, and 0.27 ㏈ for those of 21 ㏈.

Performance analysis of FH/CPFSK system with liiter-discriminator detection and integrate-dump post-detection filtering under the thermal noise and the partial-band noise jamming on the rayleigh fading channel have been analyzed. The thermal noise and partial-band noise jamming, rayleigh fading, intersymbol interference for all eight of the possible adjacent bit data patterns, and FM noise click for evaluating systems have been considered. Also optimum parameters to improve performance of FH/CPFSK system have been obtained and validities for AMPS and CDMA system of land-mobile-communication system through computer simulation have been proved.

The purpose of this study is to help to prevent daily noises by measuring the noise absorption coefficient of the non-woven fabrics and wallpapers which are commonly used in lining and noise absorption coefficient of lining curtain. Seven types of fiber materials for the interior decoration, one non-woven fabric for the wallpaper linings, and two types of textiles for curtain linings are used as the experimental materials in this study. The noise absorption coefficient of the noise absorbents were measured by using impedance tube. And the thermal transmittance were measured by using thermal transmittance tester. The results of this study are as follows; Observing the noise absorption efficiency of each experimental materials, the combination of fiber materials and linings, the noise absorption efficiency of cotton, polyester and silk were similar and for the experimental materials of flax, rayon, acrylic and nylon were resulted the similar noise absorption efficiency. The result of combination of fiber material and black fabric was highest among the combined linings. For the combination of fiber material and non-woven fabric, double layers of non-woven fabric resulted slightly higher noise absorption coefficient result than single layer of non-woven fabric. The thermal transmittance and the sound absorbents of experimental materials were affected by the thickness, density and layer of air of the experimental materials.

In this work, the mechanism of contraction and expansion noise generation is investigated, and effective methods are proposed to reduce the occurrence frequency of noise during operation of the refrigerator. First, the frequency spectrum analysis was made by using the sound pressure signal measured in an anechoic chamber to investigate the characteristic of noise and the frequency of occurrence. Second, a thermal deformation analysis was conducted to predict the location of noise source. It is found from the analysis that the biggest thermal deformation occurs in the middle of the left inner case in the freezer room. Following the investigation made, a noise reduction method is proposed. The method is proposed to reduce the contraction and expansion noise by reducing the thermal deformation through increasing ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) thickness in the center of refrigerator.

In order to evaluate environmental comfort of tractor cabs, temperature, relative humidity and noise within the cab were taken from 31 tractors during plowing and rotovating operations. The temperature and humidity were evaluated with regard to the comfort zone of KS B ISO 14269-2 and PMV of ISO 7730. The noise was evaluated with regard to the permissible sound level of OSHA for daily exposure of 8 hours. The collected data indicated that thermal environment of the cabs was out of the comfort zone, which meant tractor operators worked under uncomfortable thermal conditions. Difference in the thermal comfort by tractor power and maker, and type of works was not found. However, 25% of the studied tractors showed PMV in a range of -0.5 to +0.5, which indicated their operators worked under the comfort criteria. PMV was improved when the cab was air-conditioned. Levels of measured cab noise were lower than the permissible criteria, and 76.7% of the studied tractors had cab noise ranged from 75 to 85 dBA. There was a tendency that high powered tractors, rotovating operations and locally-made tractors had greater cab noise levels. However, their differences were insignificant.

In this paper, we analyzed the performances for FH/CPFSK system with limiter-discriminator detection and integrate-and-dump post-detection filtering under thermal noise and partial-band jamming noise. And,we considered intersymbol interference-related SNR and differential phase parameters for all eight of the possible adjacent bit data patterns, FM noise clicks for evaluating FH/CPFSK and CPFSK Systems. In result, the optimum modulation index h was 0.7 and the optimum value of bandwidth-time product D was 1.0 Next, when we considered the thermal noise under the partial-band jamming, the thermal noise significantly influenced the error probability of system below 20dB approximately but could ignore above 20dB.

This paper describes an analytic method for infrared thermography to detect surface cracks in thin plates. Traditional thermographic method uses the spatial contrast of a thermal field, which is often corrupted by noise in the experiment induced mainly by emissivity variations of target surfaces. This study developed a robust analytic approach to crack detection for thermography using the holomorphic function of a temperature field in thin plate under steady-state thermal conditions. The holomorphic function of a simple temperature field was derived for 2-D heat flow in the plate from Cauchy-Riemann conditions, and applied to define a contour integral that varies depending on the existence and strength of singularity in the domain of integration. It was found that the contour integral at each point of thermal image reduced the noise and temperature variation due to heat conduction, so that it provided a clearer image of the singularity such as cracks.
