In this paper, we synthesized vowel /ae/ with voice synthesis program of Dr. Speech Science, and we also synthesized pathologic vowel /ae/ by some parameters such as high frequency gain (HFG), low frequency gain(LFG), pitch flutter(PF) which represents jitter value and flutter of amplitude(FA) which represents shimmer value, and grade ranked as mild, moderate and severe respectively. And then we analysed all pathologic voice by analysis program of Dr. Speech Science. We expect that this synthesized pathologic voices are useful for understanding the parameter such as noise, jitter and shimmer and feedback effect to patient with voice disorder.

The frequency response function(FRF) of each substructure is used for the transfer function synthesis method(TFS). The dynamic characteristics of the full system are obtained by synthesizing FRFs of each substructure. The validation of TFS depends on accuracy for FRF of each substructure. Impact hammer testing is widely used to obtain the modal characteristics of structures. However, the FRF obtained from impact hammer testing contains several errors, such as finite record length error and leakage error of which characteristic depends on data acquisition time which we call record length. In this paper, a method to remove these errors is proposed so as to enhance results of TFS. Numerical examples show that the FRF of full structure can be predicted exactly by the method proposed in this paper.

This study presents an H$_{\infty}$ optimal controller synthesis by the frequency domain analysis of weighting function. The main purpose of our study is to visualize weighting function domains and open loop transfer function domains that satisfy robustness and performance. Also we aim to simplify the iterative algorithm for H$\infty$ optimal controller synthesis. We report that the designed regulator by the proposed method in this paper satisfies the desired specifications and performance in spite of the plant uncertainty variation at any operating point.

The frequency response function(FRF) of each substructure is used in the transfer function synthesis method(TFS). The dynamic characteristics of an entire system are obtained by synthesizing results of substructures. The accuracy of TFS will depend on that of FRF of each substructure. The impact hammer testing is widely used to obtain the modal characteristics of substructures. (omitted)

This paper introduces the technique of synthesizing and evaluating human utterances with exaggerated or atypical prosody. Prosody exaggeration can be implemented by manipulating either the fundamental frequency (F0) contour, the segmental durations, or the intensity contour of an utterance. Of these three prosodic elements, two or more can be exaggerated at the same time. The algorithms of synthesis and evaluation were suggested. Learner utterances exaggerated in each of the three prosodic features were evaluated with respect to their original native versions in terms of the differences in their F0 contours, the segmental durations, and the intensity contours. The measure of differences was the Euclidean distance metric between the matching points in their F0 and intensity contours. The measure was calculated after the exaggerated learner utterances were aligned by the segments and rendered identical to their native version in terms of their segmental durations. For the evaluation of the segmental durations, no prior modifications were made in durations and the same measure was used. The results from the pilot experiment suggest the viability of this measure in the evaluation of learner utterances with atypical prosody with respect to their native versions.

Global flow of communication is a trend of high speed, digitalization, and high-capacity. Furthermore, spread spectrum method has been dominantly utilized to efficiently use the frequency which is the scarce resource. The PLL (Phase Lock Loop) which is a widely used frequency synthesizer in communication systems has few problems such as status interferences and hence, this study utilized the DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) which is a digital device that can minimize the problems of PLL for the study on the performance evaluation of high speed frequency hopping system design. We designed a system that practices high speed frequency hopping and interprets improvement of error-rates and evaluated its performance.

With the advent of ubiquitous age, the high quality dielectric materials have been required for the wireless communications available to the millimeterwave as well as microwave frequencies. The utilizable region for the frequency has been expanding to the millimeter-wave region because of the shortage of radio frequency (RF) resources. These high frequencies would be expected for ultra high speed LAN, ETS and car anti-collision system on the intelligent transport system (ITS) and so on. Silicates are good candidates for microwave/millimeterwave dielectrics, because of their low dielectric constant ${\epsilon}_r$ and high quality factor (High Q). Forsterite ($Mg_2SiO_4$) is one of the silicates with low ${\epsilon}_r$ of 6.8 and Q f of 240000 GHz. In this paper, we reviewed following three categories for synthesis of forsterite: (1) Synthesis of high Q forsterite (2) Adjust the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency $TC_f$ (3) Diffusion of $SiO_{4^-}$ and Mg-ions on the formation of forsterite.

This paper describes shock waveform synthesis methods for a shock response spectnlm over a short time interval with which intereference between parts within a test item is increased to perform a sufficient shock test for damage or malfunction which may be caused by the interference between parts, and a digital filter for obtaining a shock response history required for the shock waveform synthesis and a digital inverse filter for restoration by inversely using the digital filter. The time at which the maximax value occurs in the response history is detected in order to establish a delay time which is one of the parameters in the wavelet, on the condition that the natural frequency of SDOF system with a Q (quality factor) of 10 equals to the wavelet frequency of the zero delay wavelet input. A shock response spectrum over a short time interval and an abrupt change in the acceleration for an instant are illustrated as features of the synthesized waveform.

In this paper, we develop an active sonar signal synthesis model to analyze the detection performance of active sonar systems in a shallow water environment. Using this model, we synthesize the return signal of a bistatic sonar system at a typical operating frequency. This signal can be used to test proper active sonar signal processing techniques for real applications.

The Substructural Synthesis Method is effectively used for the calculation of complex structures. An alternative substructural synthesis, using spatial properities which can be directly inedtified from the frequency reponse function, was proposed. It has been shown that the rotational degree of freedom in the coupled region should be required to synthesize the substructures and the residual effect in the rotational degree of freedom should be considered. Through the simulations and experiments, this alternative was proven to be useful for the dynamic analysis of complex structures.
