The issues of preventive and condition-based maintenance, online monitoring, system fault detection, diagnosis and prognosis are of increasing importance. This study introduces a technique to detect and identify faults in induction motors. Stator currents were measured and stored by time domain. The time domain is not suitable for representing current signals, so wavelet transform is used to convert the signals onto frequency domain. The raw signals can not show the significant feature, therefore difference values between the signal of the health conditions and that of the fault conditions are applied. The difference values were transformed by wavelet transform and the features are extracted from the transformed signals. The dynamic time warping method was used to identify the fault type. This study describes the results of detecting fault using wavelet analysis.

This paper estimated the arrival angle and electric wave delay time using the space method law and the directions of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm in case of signal correlation. Space method law is the method used to repress cross correlation before applying the weight value to the receiving signal. The values of the diagonal elements in the correlation matrix were averaged to replace as the diagonal elements value. In the area of wireless communication or mobile communication, there are high correlations in case of low delay time difference in multiple waves. This causes the quality of the communication to drop due to interference with the desired signal elements. This paper estimated the arrival angle and electric wave delay time using the space method law and the MUSIC algorithm. With the arrival angle algorithm, the arrival angle cannot be estimated below 5 in case of signal correlations because the angle resolution capacity decreases accordingly. The super resolution capacity was estimated to determine the arrival angle below 5 in this paper. In addition, the proposed algorithm estimated the short delay time difference to be below 20ns.

In this paper, we analyze statistically the data set of first leak time of water pipeline. We classify first the leak time data by pipe type, location, diameter of pipe and, length of pipe. We perform the analysis of variance to indicate that there are significant difference of mean of the time between levels of the factor and also compare the distribution of levels using the multiple box-plot. When there are the difference of the mean, we perform the least significant test to find out what levels of the facor has a different mean.

A linearized finite-difference scheme is used to transform the initial/boundary-value problem associated with the nonlinear Schrodinger equation into a linear algebraic system. This method is developed by replacing the time and the nonlinear term by an appropriate parametric linearized scheme based on Taylor’s expansion. The resulting finite-difference method is analysed for stability and convergence. The results of a number of numerical experiments for the single-soliton wave are given.

Backgrounds and Objectives : There have been reported many studies which evaluate the effectiveness of combined laryngomicrosurgery(LMS) and voice therapy for the patients with benign vocal cord lesions. But the difference of voice improvement by onset time of voice therapy has not been reported. The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences of voice improvement by voice analysis test between the two groups with different onset time of voice therapy. Materials and Methods : Two groups, each of which comprises 15 patients, were analyzed. For the one group, the voice therapy was initiated 1 day after LMS. For the other, the therapy was initiated 1 week after LMS. Voice analytic parameters of the two groups were statistically analized to identify difference in voice improvement. Results : All measured parameters improved after voice therapy in two groups and showed no significant difference between two groups. Conclusions : The onset time of voice therapy after LMS has no significant impact on post-operative voice quality in the patients with benign vocal cord lesions. Early onset of post-operative voice therapy may serve as treatment modality for patients with benign vocal cord lesions.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of foot care education program using foot-reflexo-massage in diabetic patients. Method: A convenience sample of non-equivalent control group time series design was used. It provided foot care education to diabetic patients through small book for both group. For the experimental group, foot-reflexo-massage was taught by a researcher and research assistants. Analysis was done by Repeated Measured ANOVA. Result: There was significant increase in foot care knowledge, self care behavior, between the experimental group and the control group over three different times. There was significant in skin temperature and pulse of foot over three different times and interaction by groups or over time, but there was no significant difference between groups. There was no significant difference in blood flow volume and capillary filling time over three different times, between groups, but there was interaction by groups or over time. But there was significant difference in discrimination in change of dosalis pedis artery blood flow. Conclusion: Findings indicate that this study may contribute to develop nursing intervention for foot care of diabetic patients.

In this paper, an effective numerical analysis method is proposed for calculating dosimetry of the wireless power transfer system operating low-frequency ranges. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is widely used to analyze bio-electromagnetic field problems, which require high resolution, such as a heterogeneous whole-body voxel human model. However, applying the standard method in the low-frequency band incurs an inordinate number of time steps. We overcome this problem by proposing a modified finite-difference time-domain method which utilizes a quasi-static approximation with the surface equivalence theorem. The analysis results of the simple model by using proposed method are in good agreement with those from a commercial electromagnetic simulator. A simulation of the induced electric fields in a human head voxel model exposed to a wireless power transmission system provides a realistic example of an application of the proposed method. The simulation results of the realistic human model with the proposed method are verified by comparing it with the conventional FDTD method.

This study was intended to analyze difference of vocal folds movements between upon wakeup and in several hours later in the morning. The difference of vocal fold movements was compared with fundamental frequency and a range of fundamental frequencies from maximum to minimum. The participants were 30 female adults between 20 and 29 years old. Voice samples were collected from their reading sentence (Jeong, 1993). The first sampling was conducted within 5 minutes after wakeup, while the second on 1 hour after the first sampling. Finally, the third voice sample was collected on 6 hours after the second sampling. The results of this study were as follows: First, fundamental frequency of the participants were by hour significantly time-dependent(F=7.843). Post-hoc multiple comparison (LSD) was conducted to determine when the difference could be observed. The result showed significant differences between upon wakeup and 6 hours later (p< .001) and between 1 hour later and 6 hours later (p< .05). Second, there were a significantly time-dependent ranges of fundamental frequencies of participants by hour (F=3.130). According to the results of the LSD analysis the significant differences in range of fundamental frequencies were found between upon wakeup and 1 hour later and also between wakeup and 6 hours later (p< .05). The results above indicate that vocal fold movements upon wakeup is different from those of several hours later.

Recently, UWAC (underwater acoustic communication) has been studied by many scholars and researchers. DS-CDMA, OFDM (orthogonal-frequency division multiplexing), and MIMO (multi-input multi-output), modulation and error correction, and others techniques that can transmit high-speed data are used in UWAC. In this paper, we first briefly present the theoretical background of estimating the arrival time of the first non-background segment in both signals and calculate the temporal difference. We also present the initial experimental result of estimating the arrival time.
