  • There are many studies on Wave Field Synthesis(WFS) which provides better presence and spaciousness than conventional discrete multichannel audio reproduction methods. However, it has several problems such as the listener-enclosing loudspeaker array and pre-authorized object-based source signal, so it is not widely used except in large-scale listening rooms. This paper presents a method which utilizes the merit of WFS in small listening rooms such as a living room.

  • The feasibility of synthesizing SiC-AlN solid solution by field-activated combustion synthesis was demonstrated. At lower fields of 8-16.5V/cm, composites of AlN-rich and SiC-rich phases were synthesized, but at fields of 25-30 V/cm, the product was a 2H structure solid solution. Combustion synthesis of the solid solution by nitridation of aluminum with silicon carbide under a nitrogen gas pressure of 4-8 MPa was also investigated. The maximum combustion temperature and wave propagation velocity were found to be influenced by the electric field in the field-activated combustion synthesis, and by the green density and nitrogen pressure in the combustion nitridation. In both cases the formation of solid solutions is complete within seconds, considerably faster than in conventional methods which require hours.

  • Fe-Al intermetallic compounds were manufactured by using the field-activated combustion synthesis process. Effects of chemical composition(Fe:Al= 3: 1,2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3), Compaction pressure(150, 250, 350MPa) and electrical resistance on the reaction were investigated in this system. As the molar ratio of Al, compaction pressure and electric field increased, the combustion temperature and velocity were increased. The influences for reaction with current adjust way were investigated in this system. But in the absence of a electric field, the reaction could sustain a nonsteady combustion wave and was not completed. The reaction products were characterized with X-ray, SEM and EDXS to determine the structure and composition.

  • As the interest on the high-definition and high-quality broadcasting is increased, the request on the high quality sound signal is enlarged as well as on the video signal's quality. One factor contributing to the high-quality of audio signal is an expansion of reproduction channels like 10.2channel and 22.2channel, but there is a problem of speaker installation issue of these many channels. One solution to solve this problem, we can use frontal loudspeaker array reproduction technique making virtual surround sound. So in this paper, we introduce theocratical analysis on the Wave Field Synthesis used for speaker array based sound reproduction and also present the result about the subjective listening test of reproduction performance based on this technique to check the perfoemance of this system. As a result, we showed WFS based frontal loudspeaker array reproduction method could provide sufficient performance compared to conventional discrete 5.1 channel reproduction method.

  • The influence of an electric field on the combustion synthesis of ${Ti}_{5}{Si}_{3}$-x ${ZrO}_{2)$(0 $\leq$ x $\leq$0.6)was investigated. Composite of X $\geq$0.45 can only be synthesized in the presence of an electric field. Although in the absence of an electri field the system with x = 0.45 and x=0.6 can sustain a nonsteady combustion wave, the reaction is not complete. That is, an unstable wave propagates to the middle of the sample and them becomes extinguished. Wave velocity o the ${Ti}_{5}{Si}_{3}-{ZrO}_{2}$ Composites slightly increases with the imposition of external field across the sample.

  • Wave field synthesis (WFS) has been gathering more and more attention recently due to its ability to perfectly reproduce an original sound field. However, to realize theoretically perfect WFS, a four-sided loudspeaker array that encloses the listener is required. However, it is difficult to build such a system except in large listening spaces, such as a theater or concert hall. In other words, if the listening space is a home, installing a side loudspeaker array is impractical. If the two side walls located to the left and right of the listener can be omitted, a setup using only front and rear loudspeaker arrays may be a solution. In this letter, we present a subjective listening experiment of sound localization/distance based on a WFS using a front and rear loudspeaker array system which is conducted on two listening points and shows average localization errors of $6.1^{\circ}$ and $9.18^{\circ}$, while the average distance errors are -27% (0.5 m) and -29% (0.6 m), respectively.

  • Ground wave is an acoustic wave propagating at a sediment sound speed in the case that sediment sound speed is constant with depth, which is explained by modal dispersion effects. In this paper, the ground wave in time domain is simulated using the ray-based approach, which is possible because the modal dispersion can be explained by the guiding of energy caused by reflection and refraction in the waveguide geometry. For a Pekeris waveguide, the ground wave can be interpreted as a sequence of head waves, called a head wave sequence [Choi and Dahl, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 119, 3660-3668 (2006)]. The ground wave is simulated by convolution of the source signal with a channel impulse response of the head wave sequence, which is compared with simulated signals obtained via a Fourier synthesis of a complex parabolic equation (PE) field.

  • A Stochastic line source model is developed to simulate the seismic wave field generated during the rupture propagation process along a fault plane of which length is much larger than its width. The fault plane is assumed to consist of randomly distributed slip zones and barriers and each slip zone is modeled as a point source. By combining the newly developed source model with wave propagation analysis method in a layered 3-D visco-elastic half space, synthetic seismograms are obtained. The calculated accelerograms due to vertical dip slip and strike slip line sources are presented.

  • High frequency electromagnetic(EM) waves are increasingly being applied in industries because of saturationat lower frequency bands as a result of huge demand. However, electromagneticinterference (EMI) has become a serious problem, and as a result, highfrequency EM absorbers are now being extensively studied. Also, recentdevelopments in absorber technology have focused on producing absorbers thatare thin, flexible, and strong. Hence, one-dimension ferrous nano-materials area potential research field, because of their interesting electronic andmagnetic properties. Commercially, EM wave absorbing products are made ofcomposites, which blend the insulating polymer with magnetic fillers. Inparticular, the shape of the magnetic fillers, such flaky, acicular, or fibrousmagnetic metal particles, rather than spherical, is essential for synthesizingthin and lightweight EM wave absorbers with higher permeability. High aspectratio materials exhibit a higher permeability value and therefore betterabsorption of the EM wave, because of electromagnetic anisotropy. Nanowires areusually fabricated by drawing, template synthesis, phase separation, selfassembly, and electrospinning with a thermal treatment and reduction process.Producing nanowires by the electrospinning method involves a conventionalsol-gel process that is simple, unique, and cost-effective. In thispresentation, Magnetic nanowire and dielectric materials coated magneticnanowire with a high aspect ratio were successfully synthesized by theelectrospinning process with heat treatment and reduction. In addition toestimating the EM wave absorption ability of the synthesized magnetic anddielectric materials coated magnetic nanowire with a network analyzer, weinvestigated the possibility of using these nanowires as high-frequency EM waveabsorbers. Furthermore, a wide variety of topics will be discussed such as thetransparent conducting nanowire and semiconducting nanowire/tube with theelectrospinning process.
