This paper presents a new locomotion mode recognition method based on a transformed correlation feature analysis using an electromyography (EMG) pattern. Each movement is recognized using six weighted subcorrelation filters, which are applied to the correlation feature analysis through the use of six time-domain features. The proposed method has a high recognition rate because it reflects the importance of the different features according to the movements and thereby enables one to recognize real-time EMG patterns, owing to the rapid execution of the correlation feature analysis. The experiment results show that the discriminating power of the proposed method is 85.89% (${\pm}2.5$) when walking on a level surface, 96.47% (${\pm}0.9$) when going up stairs, and 96.37% (${\pm}1.3$) when going down stairs for given normal movement data. This makes its accuracy and stability better than that found for the principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis methods.

음성 인식 연구에서 잡음이 존재하는 음성 발음의 처음과 끝을 찾아내는 것은 매우 중요하다. 음성 종점 탐지를 위한 기존의 방식으로는 2개의 간단한 시간 영역 측정법인 단시간 에너지와 단시간 영점교차 비율 방법이 있다. 위의 방법들은 낮은 신호 대 잡음비의 환경에서는 정확한 결과를 보장 할 수 없기 때문에 본 논문에서는 시간 영역 파형의 리아프노프 지수를 이용하여 음성의 시작과 종점을 구별하는 새로운 접근법을 제시하였다. 제안한 방법은 Mel-Scale특징 방법에서 요구되는 종점 탐지 과정을 위한 주파수 영역 매개변수를 얻는 과정이 필요 없기 때문에 보다 간단하다. 제안한 방법의 성능 검증을 위해 아라비아 숫자의 음성단어 분석에 적용해 보았으며, 결과를 통하여 제안한 방법이 인식률을 현저히 증가시킴을 확인하였다.

임펄스 기반의 초광대역 통신 기술은 이론적으로 근거리에서 고속의 데이터 전송과 고해상도의 거리 인지 및 무선 측위가 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있지만 이러한 기능들을 수행하기 위해서는 우선적으로 고속의 ADC(Analog to Digital Convertor)가 요구되며 특히, 시간 기반의 무선 측위 기법을 적용할 경우 더욱 그러하다. 그러나 현실적으로 GHz 이상의 고속의 ADC는 매우 고가이기 때문에 본 논문에서 목표로 하는 저비용을 고려한 저속의 무선 개인 영역 네트워크 (Low Rate - Wireless Personal Area Network; LR-WPAN)에서는 부적합하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 저속의 ADC로 고정밀의 무선 측위가 가능한 주파수 영역에서 계산의 복잡도가 낮은 AR(Auto Regressive) 모델을 기반으로한 레인징 기법을 소개하고, 아날로그 단에서 주파수 변환을 위해 카운터를 이용한 VCO(Voltage Control Oscillator) 방식의 non-coherent 기반의 수신 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 기법에 대한 성능을 검증하기 위해서 IEEE 802.15.4a TG에서 제시한 채널 모델을 적용하였으며 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 제안된 레인징 및 측위 방안의 우수성을 검증하였다.

The dynamic structural responses are sensitive to the time-frequency content of seismic waves, and seismic input motions in time-history analysis are usually required to be compatible with design response spectra according to nuclear codes. In order to generate spectra-compatible input motions while maintaining the intrinsic non-stationarity of seismic waves, an improved time-domain approach is proposed in this paper. To maintain the nonstationary characteristics of the given seismic waves, a new time-frequency envelope function is constructed using the Hilbert amplitude spectrum. Based on the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) obtained from given seismic waves through variational mode decomposition, a new corrective time history is constructed to locally modify the given seismic waves. The proposed corrective time history and time-frequency envelope function are unique for each earthquake records as they are extracted from the given seismic waves. In addition, a dimension reduction iterative technique is presented herein to simultaneously superimpose corrective time histories of all the damping ratios at a specific frequency in the time domain according to optimal weights, which are found by the genetic algorithm (GA). Examples are presented to show the capability of the proposed approach in generating spectra-compatible time histories, especially in maintaining the nonstationary characteristics of seismic records. And numerical results reveal that the modified time histories generated by the proposed method can obtain similar dynamic behaviors of AP1000 nuclear power plant with the natural seismic records. Thus, the proposed method can be efficiently used in the design practices.

The study of magnetic properties of ferro and ferri-magnetic materials has shown that, due to their different time constants, magnetisation mechanisms (domain wall displacement, spin rotation and wall bulging) can be separated by using the complex permeability formalisms, they exhibit characteristic features in $\mu$′ versus $\mu$" plots. In many cases. the elements (inductances, resistances and capacitances) of the equivalent circuit representing the friquency behaviour, can also be associated with physical parameters of the sample [1-3]. In a different approach, domain wall dynamics can be represented by a motion equation with mass, damping and restoring force terms [4]. In this paper, we show that these two approaches are consistent and how they are related.

This paper presents a method of detection localized defects on tapered roller bearing in main spindle of machine tool system. The feature vectors, i.e. statistical parameters, in time-domain analysis technique have been calculated to extract useful features from acoustic emission signals. These feature vectors are used as the input feature of an neural network to classify and detect bearing defects. As a results, the detection of bearing defect conditions could be sucessfully performed by using an neural network with statistical parameters of acoustic emission signals.

Installing floating structures in a coastal area requires careful observation of the finite-depth effect. In this paper, a Rankine panel method that includes the finite-depth effect is developed in the time domain. The bottom boundary condition is satisfied by directly distributing Rankine panels on the bottom surface. A stepwise analysis is performed for the radiation diffraction problems and consequently freely-floating motion responses over different water depths. The hydrodynamic properties of two test hulls, a Series 60 and a floating barge, are compared to the results from another computation program for validation purposes. The results for both hulls change remarkably as the water depth becomes shallower. The important features of the results are addressed and the effects of a finite depth are discussed.

Recent icebreaking ships need to be designed to enhance not only icebreaking capability but also turning ability. For the evaluation of ice resistance induced by an icebreaking hull form, HHI (Hyundai Heavy Industries) has developed the hybrid empirical formulas (Park et al., 2015) by considering the geometrical hull shape features, such as waterline and underwater sections. However, the empirical formulas have inherent limits to the precise estimation of the icebreaking and turning ability because the breaking process and the resulting pattern are ignored. For this reason, numerical calculation in time domain is performed to predict the icebreaking process and pattern. In the simulation, varying crushing stress according to velocity vectors and contact areas between hull and ice is newly introduced. Moreover, the simulation results were verified by comparing them with the model test results for three different bow-first icebreaking models.

Blind mismatch correction of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TI-ADC) is a challenging task. We present a practical blind calibration technique for low-computation, low-complexity, and high-resolution applications. Its key features are: dramatically reduced computation; simple hardware; guaranteed parameter convergence with an arbitrary number of TI-ADC channels and most real-life input signals, with no bandwidth limitation; multiple Nyquist zone operation; and mixed-domain error correction. The proposed technique is experimentally verified by an M = 4 400 MSPS TI-ADC system. In a single-tone test, the proposed practical blind calibration technique suppressed mismatch spurs by 70 dB to 90 dB below the signal tone across the first two Nyquist zones (10 MHz to 390 MHz). A wideband signal test also confirms the proposed technique.
