This paper overviews clock design problems related to the circuit reliability in deep submicron design technology. The topics include the clock polarity assignment problem for reducing peak power/ground noise, clock mesh network design problem for tolerating clock delay variation, electromagnetic interference aware clock optimization problem, adjustable delay buffer allocation and assignment problem to support multiple voltage mode designs, and the state encoding problem for reducing peak current in sequential elements. The last topic belongs to finite state machine (FSM) design and is not directly related to the clock design, but it can be viewed that reducing noise at the sequential elements driven by clock signal is contained in the spectrum of reliable circuit design from the clock source down to sequential elements.

Recently, the porous duct is becoming one of Possible ways to reduce the intake noise of an automobile instead of using resonators. In this article, acoustic characteristic of the porous duct is investigated theoretically and experimently. Futhermore, 4-pole parameter of the porous duct is introduced to predict transmission loss of it for various case. Acoustic efficiency of the porous duct is shown with experimental result using a car.

WCDMA 무선광 중계기(이하 WRFMC： WCDMA Radio Fiber optic Micro Cell)는 설비 및 구축측면에서 투자비 효율성을 극대화 할 수 있으며 전송로 포설이 어려운 하천 및 산악지역에도 설치할 수 있는 장점을 가지나 이러한 장비특성 때문에 AIR 구간에서의 신호손실 보전을 위해 높은 이득으로 설계되어야 하므로 Noise Floor가 상승되는 단점도 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 3GPP에서 제시하는 중계기 규격(TS 25.106)을 만족하는 범위내에서 WRFMC의 Noise Floor감소를 통한 순방향에서의 최적설계 방안을 제시하고 향후 RF중계기에도 활용하고자 한다.

Silencers are extensively used for reducing noise in an exhaust system of internal combustion Engine and fluid machineries. The prediction and measurement of the transmission loss as the acoustic performance of silencers are important in early design stage. In the measurement of transmission loss, the semi-anechoic terminations are general used for reducing unwanted effects by reflecting wave. However it is very hard to remove reflecting wave perfectly. So the research about the error made by reflecting wave is important. The analysis about errors made by reflections and modification techniques are proposed. For an application example, the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is chosen. The transmission loss of DPF is measured with and without considerations of reflecting wave.

An active trailing-edge flap blade named as Seoul National University Flap (SNUF) blade is designed for reducing helicopter vibratory loads and the relevant aeroacoustic noise. Unlike the conventional rotor control, which is restricted to 1/rev frequency, an active control device like the present trailing-edge flap is capable of actuating each individual blade at higher harmonic frequencies i.e., higher harmonic control (HHC) of rotor. The proposed blade is a small scale blade and rotates at higher RPM. The flap actuation components are located inside the blade and additional structures are included for reinforcement. Initially, the blade cross-section design is determined. The aerodynamic loads are predicted using a comprehensive rotorcraft analysis code. The structural integrity of the active blade is verified using a stress-strain recovery analysis.

This study presents an development of impact damper and its application to reduction of railway vibration from moving roads. The impact damper for reducing trnsverse vibration from moving loads were designed and verified using simple dynamic model. To verify the performance of the impact damper, the vibration of a simplified beam with the impact damper was measured. The performance on reducing vibration for different clearance and mass ratio of the damper was investigated. The numerical solutions were verified using the experimental results from a simplified beam. The result can be utilized to reduce the rolling noise from high-speed trains.

In this paper vibration reduction characteristics of floating floors used in railway vehicles are studied. Vibration reduction characteristics are compared through a series of tests for elastically-coupled floor and rigidly-coupled floor. It was found that elastically-coupled floor has larger vibration reduction amount than rigidly-coupled floor. Around the fundamental natural frequency, however, elastic floor has poor vibration reduction effect than rigid floor. Measures to reduce structure-borne noise are also discussed based on the test results. Structure-borne noise for running railway vehicles cannot be reduced by an effort to deviate resonance between natural frequency of floors and major exciting forces. Instead, reducing vibration level of top floor and using covers which have low sound radiation coefficient will be effective for reducing structure-borne noise.

The study about a drainpipe of water closet was performed as reduction of drainage noise for water closet. The Drainage noise is composed two characteristics. One is Low frequency noise and the other is high frequency noise. Low frequency noise is dominant in the first stage and high frequency noise is dominant in the last stage. This is due to water splashing and that is caused by formation of chamber pot. In this experiment, for the purpose for reducing the noise, we choose the hollow rubber pipe element. As a result, we reduced drainage noise about 11㏈A.

Nowadays since the customers of HDD's are interested in their noise levels in addition to their primary performances such as their average access time, capacity, HDD manufacturers make efforts on reducing the noise. The works to reduce noise are usually based on the measurable physical quantities such as SPL or acoustic intensity level. However, since the HDD noise is Judged by human beings, the basis of noise reduction should be human sensations. In this paper, the noise levels of various HDD's are evaluated by the human jury test to find a relationship between the physical quantities used for noise control and the human sensations of noise. Discrepancies are found in the judgments by the human beings and by the physical quantities. The loudness level, a psychoacoustic variable, is used to solve the discrepancy.
