This paper proposed a new approach for endpoint detection of isolated speech, which proves to significantly improve the endpoint detection performance. The proposed algorithm relies on the root mean square energy (rms energy), zero crossing rate and spectral characteristics of the speech signal where the Euclidean distance measure is adopted using cepstral coefficients to accurately detect the endpoint of isolated speech. The algorithm offers better performance than traditional energy-based algorithm. The vocabulary for the experiment includes English digit from one to nine. These experimental results were conducted by 360 utterances from a male speaker. Experimental results show that the accuracy of the algorithm is quite acceptable. Moreover, the computation overload of this algorithm is low since the cepstral coefficients parameters will be used in feature extraction later of speech recognition procedure.

This paper presents a simplified analysis on the rotor position detection error in sensorless interior permanent magnet brushless DC motor (BLDCM) drives, wherein terminal voltage sensing based on the back-electromotive force (back-EMF) zero-crossing point detecting circuitry is employed. The effect of a rotor saliency on the back-EMF's zero-crossing point detection is analyzed using the extended EMF-based voltage equation of the interior permanent BLDCM in a stationary reference frame, and thus the overall analysis is considerably simplified compared to the conventional one. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a roll rate estimation method for spinning vehicles. The carrier phase and frequency variations caused by spinning of vehicles are observed and the roll rate estimator is designed on the observation. The roll rate estimator consists of phase detector and zero crossing counter. The phase detector computes phase variation using in-phase and quadrature value from the correlator. By using zero crossing counter, the roll rate can be estimated since the output of phase detector is changed in proportion to the roll rate. Experiment a results show that estimated roll rate error is smaller than 0.0578Hz.

In recent years, sensorless drive schemes have been proposed widely and most of them are based on the ZCP (Zero Crossing Point) detection of the BEMF (Back Electro-Motive Force). These schemes have two main problems. One is that ZCP may not be detected at low speed and thus a forced drive is required. The other problem is that there is $30^{\circ}$ phase difference between ZCP and the motor commutation instant and to ensure proper operation, this gap should be accounted for. To solve these problems a circuit is devised for detecting ZCP of the BEMF difference through the line voltage difference. Experimental results show that the output of this circuit is identical to that of the Hall sensor signal, and velocity control of a BLDC motor is possible without the sensor.

In this paper, a new approach for Korean connected digits recognition using the spatio-temporal neural network is reported. The data of seven digits phone numbers are used in the recognition of connected words, and in the initial experiment, digit recognition rate of 28% was achieved. In this paper, to increase recognition rate, two different approaches are analyzed. In the first system, to compensate the STNN's own defect and to emphasize the Korean word's phonic characters, the starting point of phone is pointed by comparing the average magnitude and zero-crossing rate and the ending point is pointed by comparing only zero-crossing rate. The digit recoginiton rate increased to 61%. Also, in the second system, to consider fact that same word's phone is varied severally, the number of STNN's of each word is increased from one to five, and then the varied same word's phones can be included to the increased STNN's. The digit recogniton rate of connected words increased to 89%.

Recently, a new method for reconstructing a forced nonlinear dynamic system has been proposed; specifically, the simultaneous reconstruction of its excitation as well as restoring characteristics of the system. The reconstruction was just theoretically shown to be possible by measuring the system's responses, based on newly introduced notions, a J-function and a zero-crossing time. However, numerically in the current paper, we are to reconstruct a linear system, i.e., we focus on numerical experiments to reconstruct both the excitation and the linear restoring characteristic of a linear forced oscillating system by using response data, based on the J-function and the zero-crossing time.

수심 65m의 godutr에서 해면으로부터 10m 깊이에 수평 청음기 배열을 설치하여 수중소음의 상 관관계를 측정하였다. 분석은 FFT 방식을 이용하여 63Hz에서 315Hz 까지의 저주파 영역에서 True 상 관계수를 직접 얻었다. Buckingham의 천해모델과 비교한 결과 160 Hz 이하에서는 이론치와 거의 같았 으나 200Hz 이상에서는 이론치와 많은 차이를 보였다. 이는 200 Hz 이상에서 결과치의 Zero-Crossing point 가 이동된 것을 보보인면이나 Kuperman과 Ingenito의 천해 모델에서 NEAR-FIELD의 영향이 Zero-crossing point를 이동시킨다는 사실, 또 주파수가 높아질수록 해상상태의 영향을 받는다는 심해 수중소음의 상관관계에 대한 싫머결과등을 비교해 볼 Eio near-field 소음원의 영향을 무시한채 far-field 소음원의 영향만을 고려한 Buckingham의 천해모델이 갖는 제한성을 나타낸 것이라 볼 수 있다.

This paper describes how to represent varations of feature parameters to improve recognition of continuous speech. For speech recognition, feature parameters, which are formant frequencies, pitches, logarithmic energies and zero crossing retes are used in general. But, their values and variations depend on speakers, for example disparities between man and woman, and on their age. It is difficult to decide a priority the value of the variation width. Hence, we try to represent this variation by introducing fuzziness and recognize a continuous speech by fuzzy inference using fuzzy production rules.

A Method for detection of saturation of a current transformer(CT) is proposed. The algorithm is initiated when the end point of a saturation period is detected. This detection is achieved by checking the time interval between the adjacent zero-crossing points of the second derivative of the secondary current. Once the end point of the saturation period is detected, the beginning point of the corresponding saturation period is determined by backward examination of the sum of the secondary current from the end point. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated for a-g faults on a 345 kV 100km overhead transmission line. The Electromagnetic Transient Program(EMTP) was used to generate fault current signals for different fault inception angles and different remanent fluxes. The performance evaluation shows that the proposed algorithm successfully detects the saturation period even in the presence of a remanent flux.

This paper presents a new structure of single-stage flyback power factor correction (PFC) converter with a controllable coupled negative magnetic feedback (NMF) winding. NMF winding is used to reduce the bulk capacitor voltage at high line voltages and light loads. However, it would cause line current distortion at zero crossing condition. In the proposed circuit, a series winding is used with NMF inductor to eliminate the NMF inductor at low line voltages. As a result, the dead angle of the input current, near zero voltage crossing, is eliminated and the power factor is increased. The presented experimental results of the proposed PFC converter confirm the integrity of the new idea and the theoretical analysis.
