Gamma-ray must be detected and processed immedietely after generation of it in the circumstances where it exists. Software methology may be used to process randomly generated signals, but its memory size and processing time become large. By the way, the hardware circuit to detect randomly generated signals is generalized in industrial site, while those circuits are not able to answer to the cases whose amplitude are very small and also speed high. We researched and developed hardware based peak-hold circuit that is able to detect peaks of gamma-ray signals through direct reading out their values by ADC at the time of maximum reaching for the small amplitude and high speed signals, and proposed and estimated its results in this paper. This peak-hold circuit is adequate to use in the radiation circumstances in which the gamma-rays are heavy because its circuit can catch high speed signals efficiently without software signal processing supports.

The in-process monitoring of $CO_2$ welding of Zn-coated steel plates has been studied and compared with that of conventional thin plates. Relationships between weld defects and plasma emission signals were evaluated in laser lap joint of thick Zn-coated steel. According to the study, weld defects were found to increase with Zn content. As a result, measured plasma emission signals also decreased. In case of plate with $15{\mu}m$-thick Zn-coated layer, defects caused by evaporation of Zn could, therfore, controled by gap of 0.1mm, resulting in a stable emission signals. However, the amplitude of signals fluctuated very widely. Variation of amplitude sould be limited in 3-8V by FFT smoothing.

Polyethylene pressure pipe has been used with a gas pipe material because of workability and stability etc.. Researches on characteristics of polyethylene pressure pipe are carried out, but there are rare. In this study, the tensile test was performed on polyethylene pipe. From the tensile test, AE signals were detected and estimated in real time. Also, the time-frequency analysis of AE signals was analyzed. From test results, PE pipes were displayed typical stress-strain curves oj semi-crystalline polymer. As result analyzed AE signals, could divide stress-strain curves could be divided into four stages. In the elastic region, signals were not detected. Low amplitude distributions of 30-35dB appeared after yielding, and high amplitude distributions of 30-60dB appeared with increased extension. From the time-frequency analysis of AE signals, the frequency band of 100kHz appeared mainly. Also, the frequency band of 300kHz appeared before the necking phenomenon spreads into the whole region, and the frequency band of 500kHz appeared on extension earlier.

Some nonlinearities in feedback control systems, such as relay servo, Coulomb friction, saturating amplifier of backlash in gears cause some undesirable effects. These may be static errors, limit cycles or jump phenomena. So, linearizing method of these nonlinearities using dither signals was first suggested by Loeb. He pointed out that the addition of high frequency signal to either the input or the output of a nonlinear system would make the nonlinear performance approximate the performance of linear systems. He used high-frequency sinusoidal wave as dither signal. But, in this thesis, general method of analysis is suggested for nonlinear control systmes using various dither signals, such as noise signal of Gaussian amplitude distribution, sinusoidal dither signal and sawtooth dither signal. Also, the advantage and disadvantage of these dither signals are compared. Throughout the analysis statistical method is adopted and lastly analog computer is used for the experiment of various nonlinear systems using dither signals.

In this paper, the acoustic emission(AE) behaviors were investigated with single-and 2-spot resistance spot welded SPCC specimens. Test specimens were welded horizontally and/or vertically according to the rolling direction of base netal in 2-spot welding. In the case of 2-spot welding, when tensile-shear test has below amplitudes: crack initiation $50{\sim}60dB;$ tear fracture $40{\sim}50dB$. And when cross tensile test has below amplitudes: early stage $75{\sim}85dB;$ yielding point $65{\sim}75dB;$ post yielding $40{\sim}60dB;$ plug fracture $70{\sim}80dB\;or\;90{\sim}100dB$. Also, from the b-value that is slope of AE amplitude, we knew that there are lots of low amplitudes if b-value is big(i.e., tensile-shear $specimen{\rightarrow}tear$ fracture or shear fracture), and there are lots of high amplitudes if b-value is small(i.e.. cross tensile $specimen{\rightarrow}plug$ fracture). As the results of fiacture mechanism analyses through AE amplitude distributions, change of the b-value represented fracture patterns of materials. Correspondingly, low amplitude signals appeared in crack initiation, and high amplitude signals appeared in base metal fracture. We confirmed that these amplitude distributions represented the change or degradation of materials.

In this paper, we propose a biorthogonal modulation employing a constant-amplitude transmission of multi-code signals by introducing a simple constant-amplitude coding scheme with redundant bits. The proposed constant-amplitude biorthogonal multi-code (CABM) modulation can provide high spectral efficiency compared with a conventional direct sequence/spread spectrum (DS/SS) modulation. Nevertheless the proposed CABM modulation can keep up a constant-amplitude signal. Additionally, we propose various types of demodulation structures for the CABM modulation. Simulation results show that bit error rate (BER) performance and hardware complexity of the proposed CABM modulation are highly improved in comparison with those of a constant-amplitude orthogonal multi-code (CAOM) modulation.

A new algorithm classifying ECG Arrhythmia signals using Back-propagation network is proposed. The base-line of ECG signal is detected by high pass filter and probability density function then input data are normalized for learning and classifying. In addition, ECG data are scanned to classify Arrhythmia signal which is hard to find R-wave. A two-layer perceptron with one hidden layer along with error back-propagation learning rule is utilized as an artificial neural network. The proposed algorithm shows outstanding performance under circumstances of amplitude variation, baseline wander and noise contamination.

The movement of bone fluid from the region of the bone vasculature through the canaliculi and the lacunae of the surrounding mineralized tissue accomplishes three important tasks. First it transports nutrients to the osteocytes in the lacunae buried in the mineralized matrix. Second, it carries away the cell waste. Third, the bone fluid exerts a force on the cell process, a force that is large enough for the cell to sense. This is probably the basic mechanotrasduction mechanism in bone, the way in which bone senses the mechanical load to which it is subjected. The mechanism of bone fluid flow are described below with particular emphasis on mechanotransduction. Also described is the cell to cell communication by which higher frequency signals might be transferred, a potential mechanism in bone by which the small whole tissue strain is amplified so the bone cells can respond to it. One of the conclusions is that higher frequency low amplitude strains can maintain bone as effectively as low frequency low amplitude strains can maintain bone as effectively as low frequency high amplitude strains. This mechanism has many similarities with the mechanotransduction of acoustical signals in the ear. These conclusion leads to a paradigm shift in how to treat osteoporosis and how to cope with microgravity.

The tone reservation (TR) scheme is an attractive method to reduce peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in the filter bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC-OQAM) systems. However, the high PAPR of FBMC signal will severely degrades system performance. To address this issue, a cyclic shift based TR (CS-TR) scheme with embedding side information (SI) is proposed to reduce the PAPR of FBMC signals. At the transmitter, four candidate signals are first generated based on cyclic shift of the output of inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT), and the SI of the selected signal with minimum peak power among the four candidate signals is embedded in sparse symbols with quadrature phase-shift keying constellation. Then, the TR weighted by optimal scaling factor is employed to further reduce PAPR of the selected signal. At the receiver, a reliable SI detector is presented by determining the phase rotation of SI embedding symbols, and the transmitted data blocks can be correctly demodulated according to the detected SI. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the existing TR schemes in both PAPR reduction and bit error rate (BER) performances. In addition, the proposed scheme with detected SI can achieve the same BER performance compared to the one with perfect SI.
