In this paper, in order to analyze property of frequency response in microphone using optical sensor, acousto-optic sensor system has been implemented. The capacitance microphone and fiber-optic transmission path type fiber-optic microphone (FOM) have weaknesses in directivity, size, weight, and price. However suggested optical microphone can be constituted by cheap devices, so it has many benefits like small size, light weight, high directivity, etc. Head part of optical microphone which is suggested in this paper is movable back and forth by sound pressure with the attached reflection plate. Operating point has also been determined by measuring the response characteristics. The choosing the point, which has maximum linearity and sensitivity has changing the distance between optical head and vibrating plate. We measured the output of the O/E transformed signal of the optical microphone while frequency of sound signal is changed using sound measurement /analysis program, "Smaart Live" and "USBPre", which are based on PC, and compared the result from an existing capacitance microphone. The measured optical microphone showed almost similar output characteristics as those of the compared condenser microphone, and its bandwidth performance was about 4 kHz at up to 3 dB.

In digital multimedia society, we usually use the digital sound music ( Mp3, wav, etc.) system instead of analog music. In the middle of generating or recording and transmitting, if we embed the digital code which is useful to music information, we can easily select as well as classify the music title by using Mp3 player that embedded sound source classification system. In this paper, sound source classification system which could be classify and search a music informations by way of user friendly scheme is implemented. We performed some experiments to testify the validity of proposed scheme by using implemented system.

Tracking of sound-location is widely used in various area such as intelligent CCTV, video conference and voice commander. In this paper we introduce the real-time sound-location tracking method for smart lecture system using TDoA(Time Difference of Arrival) with orthogonal microphone array on the ceiling. Through discussion on some models of TDoA detection, cross correlation method using linear microphone array is proposed. Orthogonal array with 5 microphone could detect omni direction of sound-location. For real-time detection we adopt the threshold of received energy for eliminating no-voice interval, signed cross correlation for reducing computational complexity. The detected azimuth angles are processed using median filter for lowering the angle deviation. The proposed system is implemented with high performance MCU of TMS320F379D and MEMs microphone module and shows the accuracy of 0.5 and 6.5 in degree for white noise and lectured voice, respectively.

The operator LIKE of the database language SQL is a string pattern search operator. By providing the string pattern, the operator can identify column values that match with the string pattern. As a phonetic symbol, each Korean syllable is composed either of a leading sound and a medial sound or of a leading sound, a medial sound, and a trailing sound. As a search pattern of Korean syllables of the operator LIKE, in addition to the traditional Korean search pattern, this paper proposes a new search pattern that is based on leading sounds and medial sounds of Korean. With the new Korean search pattern, Korean syllables having specific leading sounds, specific medial sounds, or both specific leading sounds and medial sounds can be found. Formulating predicates equivalent with the new Korean search pattern by way of existing SQL operators is cumbersome and might cause the portability problem of applications depending on the underlying character set of the DBMS. This paper presents algorithms for the execution of the operator LIKE considering the new Korean search pattern based on the characters that are represented in KS X 1001, which is a Korean standard code for information interchange of Korean and Chinese.

In this paper, we proposed a method to measure the feed intake of cattle using the cattle's gulp downing sounds. To measure the sound of cattle's gulp downing, the recording is performed through a wearable device attached to the cattle's neck. A lot of noises are recorded according to the ranching environment. This paper proposed a method for spectralizing raw gulping sound data containing white noise and removing white noise through the signal transformation using a filter. This allows the feed intake to be measured. Through the proposed white noise reduction method, it was possible to extract only the cattle's gulp downing sound, and through this, the number of cattle's gulp downing could be measured. The proposed method in this paper makes it possible to measure cattle's feed intake easily, so that estrus prediction, health care for cattle, and feed management can be done efficiently.

Raising large numbers of animals in very narrow environments such as laying hens house can be very damaged from small environmental change. Previously researched about laying hens sound analysis system has a problem for applying to the laying hens house because considering only the limited situation of laying hens house. In this paper, to solve the problem, we propose a new laying hens sound analysis model using MFCC feature vector. This model can detect 7 situations that occur in actual laying hens house through 9 kinds of laying hens sound analysis. As a result of the performance evaluation of the proposed laying hens sound analysis model, the average AUC was 0.93, which is about 43% higher than that of the frequency feature analysis method.

Background and Objectives: The integration of auditory-visual speech information improves speech perception; however, if the auditory system input is disrupted due to hearing loss, auditory and visual inputs cannot be fully integrated. Additionally, temporal coincidence of auditory and visual input is a significantly important factor in integrating the input of these two senses. Time delayed acoustic pathway caused by the signal passing through digital signal processing. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of hearing loss and hearing aid digital delay circuit on sound-induced flash illusion. Subjects and Methods: A total of 13 adults with normal hearing, 13 with mild to moderate hearing loss, and 13 with moderate to severe hearing loss were enrolled in this study. Subsequently, the sound-induced flash illusion test was conducted, and the results were analyzed. Results: The results showed that hearing aid digital delay and hearing loss had no detrimental effect on sound-induced flash illusion. Conclusions: Transmission velocity and neural transduction rate of the auditory inputs decreased in patients with hearing loss. Hence, the integrating auditory and visual sensory cannot be combined completely. Although the transmission rate of the auditory sense input was approximately normal when the hearing aid was prescribed. Thus, it can be concluded that the processing delay in the hearing aid circuit is insufficient to disrupt the integration of auditory and visual information.

SAFRS(Spontaneous Acoustic Field Reproduction System) is a system to sense changes of surroundings and produce sounds which can go well with environment elements sensed by the system in to the space. The sounds were judged by individual evaluation and, the classification of the preferred sounds according to the mood of the space was suggested in the former study. Effectiveness of SAFRS with field application was validated by prior studies which dealt with researching acoustic environment, evaluating images of sounds, and rating environment with existence and nonexistence of sound resources such as fountains and the system after applied in D university. In this study, for more effective field application of SAFRS, research for the acoustic environment around sound resources and subjective evaluation of the preference of the sounds from the resources were made and it was considered that the results of the experiments should be primary information to propose proper sound level to be offered by the system. The results of the study are as follows; 1) It was considered that the ambience of the center road was dependent upon produced sounds by the system and water sounds of the fountain and that of walk way was mostly dependent upon produced sounds. 2) The results of the subjective evaluation showed that the distance from sound resources was suggestive; the more distant from produced sounds the less full and clear the sounds, the less distant from the sounds of water the more delight and idyllic ambience, and the less distant from the forest the more idyllic ambient and diversity. 3) The results upwards were telling that an average value of six elements for the evaluation was even at the place set back 10.2m from center road and walk way. And harmony of all sounds of the place should be considered to propose suitable sound level of SAFRS.
