We present a high speed pitch estimation algorithm that is based on peak detection and average magnitude difference function (AMDF). A few pitch candidates are first estimated from the low-pass filtered (800 Hz) speech by a peak detection algorithm. AMDF values of the pitch candidatestare then calculated, and the pitch candidate that yields the minimum AMDF value is chosen as the desired pitch period. The new method requires far less computation time than other pitch estimation algorithms, while it yields fairly accurate results.

Some sensory properties of synthetic sweeteners are limiting factors for use in low calorie foods of soft drinks. By combining synthetic sweeteners(Neohesperidin dihydrochacone(NHDC), stevioside) with sucrose, sorbitol or xylitol, these limitations can be overcome. Using trained taste panelists and magnitude estimation methods, synergistic effects were investigated in binary sweetener mixtures, The results showed that synergism, as much as 28% to 69%,was noted at all concentration in xylitol-stevioside, NHDC-stevioside mixtures. Synergistic effects were found only at high concentration levels in mixtures of sucrose-NHDC, sucrose-stevioside, and sorbitol-stevioside, ranging from 11% to 22%.By taking advantage of synergistic effects, ginseng tea and orange flavored beverages, sweetened with either xylitol-stevioside of NHDC-stevioside, were prepared and the sensory quality was compared with that of sucrose containing beverages. It was found that sensory characteristics were judged to be very similar for all formulations. The result suggests the possibility of using of using these sweetener mixtures as sugar substitutes in ginseng tea and orange drink.

The purpose of this study is to grasp visual effects of landscape on window in living space. The visual effects in the 1/3 living room scale models that are different in the dimension of window, the place of window and the landscape through the window is judge using a method of magnitude estimation. In consequence of these experiment, the following results were obtained. 1) The brightness influences the evaluation marks on visual effects of window on living space. 2) The existence of landscape has an effect on a sense of extent for living space. 3) The existence of window in visual field makes a great difference to the visual effects.

In order to investigate the relationship between fabric sound parameters and subjective sensation, each sound from 60 fabrics was recorded and analyzed by Fast Fourier transform. Level pressure of total sound (LPT), three coefficients (ARC, ARF, ARE) of auto regressive models, loudness (Z), and sharpness (Z) by Zwickers model were estimated as sound parameters. For subjective evaluation, seven sensation (softness, loudness, sharpness, clearness, roughness, highness, and pleasantness) was rated by both semantic differential scale (SDS) and free modulus magnitude estimation (FMME). As the results, the ARC values were positively proportional to both LPT and loudness (Z) values. In both of SDS and FMME, softness, clearness, and pleasantness were negatively correlated with loudness, sharpness, roughness, and highness. In regression models, softness and clearness by FMME were negatively affected by LPT뭉 ARC, while loudness, sharpness, roughness, and highness were positively expected. Regression models for pleasantness showed low values for R2.

A new algorithm for estimating power frequency is presented. Unlike conventional algorithms, the proposed algorithm is based on the fact that the magnitude gains of cosine and sine filters become different when the power frequency is deviated from the nominal value. This makes the algorithm capable of providing an accurate and fast estimate of the power frequency. To demonstrate the performance of the developed algorithm, various computer simulated data records are processed. The algorithm showed a high level of robustness as well as high measurement accuracy over a wide range of frequency changes. Moreover, the algorithm was highly immune to harmonics and noise.

This study investigated the distribution of subject properties in Korean. Based on the previous studies on so-called 'subjecthood diagnostics' in Korean Multiple Subject Constructions (MSCs), the current study investigates how different subject properties are distributed in single subject constructions (Non-MSCs) and MSCs. Focusing on two distinct subject properties - obligatory control (OC) of PRO and coordinated deletion (CD) - an empirical syntactic experiment was designed to test how these two subjecthood diagnostics behave in the Non-MSC and MSC environments. Seventy Korean native speakers were tested over magnitude estimation task, composed of 80 Korean sentences representing different subject properties in single or multiple subject constructions. Overall results showed (i) both OC and CD can be used as subjecthood diagnostic tests in the Non-MSC environments, but (ii) that only OC can be used as a subjecthood diagnostic test in the MSC environments.

White uniformity is one of the important inspection factors determining the image quality of CRT screen. In the full white pattern, white uniformity means the degree of uniform distribution of white color across the whole screen. To elicit the sensitivity factors affecting the decision of the white uniformity quality, experiments in which participants were confronted with 6 evaluation points embedded in 3 measurement groups on a CRT screen were conducted to gather the psychophysical data that are the level of white uniformity subjects perceived and CA100 produced. These data were used to develop a modified CIE1976 equation for calculating white uniformity. Performance comparison between the original CIE1976 equation and the modified equation was conducted in terms of accuracy test and magnitude estimation. It was concluded the modified equation is more sensitive in the change of white uniformity, compared to the original CIE1976 equation.

The torque was calculated with inductance and iron loss. Because the linkage flux can change the inductance, and q-axis current can change the iron loss. Therefore, precise estimation of torque can achieve with the inductance and iron loss detail calculations. So, in this paper, the d, q-axis inductance was verified through CVCT(Current Vector Control Test) and DCT(Direct Current Test). Also in the iron loss calculation, the prediction of all areas of current magnitude, phase angle and speed was very difficult. And LUT(Look-Up Table) was spent time and resource largely. Therefore, iron loss mathematization was proposed according to current magnitude, phase angle and speed. Also, characteristics of IPMSM were comprised of analyzed and experimental values.

In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive digital filter for tonal noise cancellation, with a frequency tracking capability. The proposed algorithm not only estimates the magnitude and phase of the tonal disturbance but also tracks its frequency, which changes in quasi-static manner. The algorithm uses the steepest descent method and the instantaneous frequency approach for the phase/magnitude estimation and frequency tracking, respectively. A number of computer simulations have been carried out in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed ANC algorithm under various conditions.
