In this study, sound absorption capability and sound transmission loss of several kinds of target densities and thickness for six species of wood bark particle were estimated by the transfer function and transfer matrix methods. Resultantly, the mean sound absorption coefficient of a 100-mm thick Hinoki wood bark particle mat was 0.90 in the frequency range of 100-6400 Hz, whereas the mean sound absorption rate of a 50-mm thick Hinoki wood bark particle mat was 0.84 in the same frequency range. Particularly, at a thickness of 100 mm, it reached almost up to 100% in the frequency range of 1 KHz. The sound transmission losses of 100-mm thick Hinoki wood bark particle mat with a target density of 0.16 at 500 and 1000 Hz were 15.30 and 15.73 dB, respectively. When a 10-mm thick plywood was attached to the back of the wood particle mat, the sound transmission losses was increased by 20-30 dB. Wood bark can be used as an acoustical material owing to its high sound absorption rate and transmission loss.

The polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (poly-Si TFT) are the most promising candidate for active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCD) for their high mobilities and current driving capabilities. The leakage current of the poly-Si TFT is much higher than that of the amorphous-Si TFT, thus larger storage capacitance is required which reduces the aperture ratio fur the pixel. The offset gated poly-Si TFTs have been widely investigated in order to reduce the leakage current. The conventional method for fabricating an offset device may require additional mask and photolithography process step, which is inapplicable for self-aligned source/drain ion implantation and rather cost inefficient. Due to mis-alignment, offset devices show asymmetric transfer characteristics as the source and drain are switched. We have proposed and fabricated a new offset poly-Si TFT by applying photoresist reflow process. The new method does not require an additional mask step and self-aligned ion implantation is applied, thus precise offset length can be defined and source/drain symmetric transfer characteristics are achieved.

The present work used the efficiency transfer method used to calculate the full energy peak efficiency (FEPE) curves of the (2"*2" & 3"*3") NaI (Tl) detectors based on the effective solid angle subtended between the source and the detector. The study covered the effect of the self attenuation coefficient of the source matrix (with a radius greater than the detector's radius) on the detector efficiency. $^{152}$ An Eu aqueous radioactive source covering the energy range from 121.78 keV up to 1408.01 keV was used. In this study an empirical formula was deduced to calculate the difference between the measured and the calculated efficiencies [without self attenuation] at low and high energy regions. A proper balance between the measured and calculated efficiencies [with self attenuation] was achieved with discrepancies less than 3%, while reaching 39% for calculating values [without self attenuation] due to working with large sources, or for low photon energies.

A new method for designing critical control systems is proposed in this paper. The controller structure is chosen as a Davison type integral controller with an observer. The proposed method consists of two steps. First, the state feedback critical control system is designed using a quadratic performance index with tunable parameters. Second, the observer gain matrix is determined by the formal LTR procedure using a Riccati equation. Consequently, the search space can be reduced considerably compared with the conventional approach. Although the proposed method sacrifices a large freedom for the choice of controller structure provided by the principle of matching, the controller structure used in this paper is not excessively complex and can be used for most applications. An illustrative design example is presented.

This paper aims to investigate the natural frequency of a cracked cantilever L-beams with a coupled bending and torsional vibrations. In addition, a theoretical method for detection of the crack position and size in a cantilever L-beams is presented based on natural frequencies. Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the equation of motion is derived by using extended Hamilton's Principle. The dynamic transfer matrix method is used for calculation of a exact natural frequencies of L-beams. In order to detect the crack of L-beams, the effect of spring coefficients for bending moment and torsional force is included. In this study, the differences between the actual data and predicted positions and sizes of crack are less than 0.5% and 6.7% respectively.

Digital holographic reconstruction method [W. A. Veronesi, et al, 1989, JASA, Vol. 85, pp. 588∼598] reconstructs a whole sound field by using measured sound pressure. This paper reports numerical errors of the method that occur at specific frequencies. The errors occur due to the truncation errors included in the calculation of transfer matrixes. The frequencies of the errors depend on the size of boundary element surfaces. Moreover, a modified calculation technique is proposed in the paper. The technique prevents the truncation errors by employing an indirect calculation procedure.

LQ-servo design procedure introduced by Athans is a method using a partial states feedback and an output feedback in order to improve the poor performance robustness of the LQR as well as to maintain its stability robustness. Although the method guarantees good stability robustness, it is not effective in performance robustness as it does not match the singular value at low or high frequencies of the transfer matrix obtained by breaking at the plant output. This paper intends propose of a new method, using the limited behaviour of the control gain introduced by Kwakernaak and Sivan, in order to improve it does it refer to controlga introduced by kwakernaak or the new metho Anblguouls.

A method for weighing fruits without separating them from stem is proposed. The base of stem is fixed and a fruit or a cluster of fruits is forced to vibrate. The approximated vibration model is constructed by the use of Transfer Matrix Method. The natural frequency (w) in this model can be represented as a function of weight elements, and the length and stiffness of branch elements of stem. With this function, only w is possible to measure. However, several small weights whose weights are known are attached to weight elements in various combinations. From these equations, unknown parameters are determined so that the weight of each fruit can be obtained by a non-destructive method.

In this paper, the predictions and measurements of sound transmission loss(STL) are discussed for various types of acoustical materials and carpets. Random incidence sound transmission losses are measured by the sound intensity method. The in-house software HONUS2005 is used to predict TL and estimate the various physical properties such as the flow resistivity, the structure factor, the porosity, the Possion's ratio, and etc. After this estimation, various multi-layered materials with a steel plate are measured and predicted. In particular, Carpets are assumed to be membranes to predict acoustical performance. To confirm this assumption, double and triple-layered cases are also observed including two different kinds of carpets.

This paper is concerned with the design method of a de-centralized linear control system and its application to vibration control of multi degree of freedom structures. The method is based on the partial model matching on frequency domain by minimizing the relative model error functions between the diagonal elements of the open loop transfer function matrix of the control system and these of the reference model. The method is examined and evaluated by both simulation and experiment of a multi degree of freedom structure(MDFS).
