  • In this Paper, the structure of a split bandwidth wideband speech coder and its highband coder for tone qualify elevation are Proposed. The lowband and highband by the split bandwidth method are encoded independently applying the G.729E and MLT (Modulated Lapped Transform) residual model. In the highband structure which is encoded by low bit rate of 4kbps, the MLT residual signals are distinguished to voice and unvoice signal . The voice signals are applied to MLT peak picking method by lowband pitch period. Because transformed MLT residual signals are represented by periodic signal that have periodic peak. The unvoice signals are applied to MLT which linear prediction spectral response is added and do vector quantization. Performance for proposed 15.8kbps wideband speech coder was verified through subjective listening test.

  • Measuring phonatory stability using MDVP(Multi-dimensional voice program, Kay Elemetrics Corp., NJ, USA) are becoming popular in many Korean clinics and laboratories, yet questions about standardization and reference values have remained. The purpose of present study was to examine the effects of frequency and intensity variation on the results of acoustic analysis related to phonatory stability. Twenty young adults(ten females and ten males) were asked to sustain vowel /a/ for more than 3 seconds under 9 different pitch and loudness conditions. Using MDVP, nine voice samples were analyzed, and jitter percent, fundamental frequency variation, shimmer percent, peak amplitude variation, noise to harmonic ratio, amplitude tremor intensity index, and degree of subharmonics were compared. The results showed that intensity changes can significantly affect various phonatory stability measures, and the lowest perturbation values can be obtained from slightly louder(10dB) phonatory condition than comfortable level phonation.

  • This study examined the acoustic characteristics in women diver's Soombijil sound. A total of 18 women divers was attended this study. Acoustic analysis was performed via Praat. Soombijil sound were classified into three types as pitch variations in beginning, middle, and ending part. Type I showed increasing-decreasing-flat. Type II was identified by the shape of flat-flat-increasing. The shape of type III showed increasing-decreasing-increasing. Duration of Soombijil sound was mean 1.48 sec. The range of frequency was 1591.54 ${\sim}$ 4477.13 Hz. FFT analysis showed that frequencies were concentrated 500${\sim}$2000 Hz. Type I and II showed two peaks at 500 Hz and 1500${\sim}$2000 Hz. Type III has one peak below 500 Hz.

  • 고차 통계 방법을 이용하여 잡음이 섞인 음성 신호에서 피치를 구하는 방법과 이를 이용하여 유성음 및 무성음 구간을 구분하는 방법을 구현하고 그 결과를 기술하였다. 고차 통계의 일종인 3차 cumulant 함수의 경우 Gaussian 또는 대칭적인 분포를 갖는 잡음 신호를 음성신호로부터 효과적으로 분리하여 제거시키는 특징을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 특징을 이용하면 잡음 환경에서 여러 가지 음성 특징 파라메터들을 보다 신뢰도 높게 추정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 dam성 신호의 3차 cumulant 함수의 자기상관함수로부터 음성의 피치 주기를 추정하였으며, 피치 위치에서의 normalized peak 크기에 의해 유성음과 무성음을 구분하였다. 또한 성능 비교를 위해 음성 신호 자체의 자기 상관 함수로부터 역시 피치 주기 및 유성음/무성음 구분을 수행하였다. 백색 및 유색 Gaussian 잡음 환경에서의 음성의 피치 주기 추정 실험 결과 SNR가 낮은 경우에 3차 cumulant를 이용한 방법이 2차 통계에 비해 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 또한 동일한 잡음 환경에서의 유성음/무성음 판별 시험에서도 3차 cumulant를 이용한 방법이 기존의 2차 통계를 이용한 방법에 비해 성능이 크게 향상된 결과를 얻었다.

  • Wind tunnel model studies were carried out to determine the wind load distribution on tributary areas near the gable-end of large, low-rise buildings with high pitch planar and curved roof shapes. Background pressure fluctuations on each tributary area are described by a series of uncorrelated modes given by the eigenvectors of the force covariance matrix. Analysis of eigenvalues shows that the dominant first mode contributes around 40% to the fluctuating pressures, and the eigenvector mode-shape generally follows the mean pressure distribution. The first mode contributes significantly to the fluctuating load effect, when its influence line is similar to the mode-shape. For such cases, the effective static pressure distribution closely follows the mean pressure distribution on the tributary area, and the quasi-static method would provide a good estimate of peak load effects.

  • The speech recognition on long vowels are carried out by electric circuits. A level compressor is able to transform the wave of voice to serial pulses. The obtained pulses have informations to distinguish the vowels. The sampling of the pulses is carried out by the register which picks up a series of serial signals in a pitch of a vowel as an unit. The timing control pulses such as sampling pulses are generated by using peak pulses in the speech wave. The parallel data in the register assign the phonetic symbol by means of the decision making circuit which carries out the IF-THEN rule.

  • The focus of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of joining parameter on the microstructure and mechanical properties of welds produced by friction stir lap welding. The dissimilar Al alloys, KS5J32 and AA6K31, were joined by friction stir lap welding technique under several welding conditions, and KS5J32 alloy was placed on the top of AA6K31 alloy. The tool rotation speeds were 1000, 1250, and 1500rpm, and the welding speeds were 100, 300, 500, 700mm/min, respectively. The results showed that two shapes of nugget, such as onion ring and irregular vortex type, were observed with various revolutionary pitch. In all welding conditions, fracture occurred at the soften region of bottom sheet(AA6K31) and the strengths were 64~78% of those of base metal. Fractured positions were classified into three types : HAZ, triple point, void depending on the revolutionary pitch. The actual thickness of specimen at the fractured location was decreased with decreasing heat input. A linear relationship exists between the effective thickness of fractured position and peak load.

  • An experimental study was carried out in order to measure the pitch dynamic stability derivatives of a standard dynamics model in a low-speed wind tunnel. When a trigger signal is generated, the aircraft model starts oscillation with constant amplitudes and frequencies provided by DC electrical servomotor. The measured data are simultaneously recorded on a data recorder for 25 cycles of the model oscillation. The Phase shift needed to compute the dynamic stability derivatives is determined by calculating differences between the peak values of the input and output signals from the dynamic stability balance. Stabilator effects on the stability derivatives were also investigated with deflection angles. Although the driving apparatus and experimental equipments manufactured creatively for this study are different from other experiments, the variational trend of dynamic stability derivatives with the angle of attack is in a good accordance with the results of TPI, NAE, and FFA.
