In this paper, the packet voice protocol for the transmission of voice signal onto ethernet is implemented in a personal computer (PC). The packet voice protocol used is a modified one from CCITT G.764 packetized voice protocol. The hardware system to facilitate the voice communication onto ethernet is divided into telephone interface, speech processing, PC interface and controllers. The software structure of the protocol is designed according to the OSI seven layer architecture and is divided into three routines : ethernet device driver, telephone interface, and processing routine of the packet voice protocol. Experiments through ethernet with telephone interface show that this packet voice communication achieves satisfactory quality when the network traffic is light.

One of the recent noticeable evolutions in mobile communication systems is that wideband-codec is deployed rapidly in VoLTE (Voice over Long Term Evolution) service or HD voice. This paper is concerned with next generation HD voice or VoLTE service that is coined to describe high quality communication with super-wideband voice codec. 3GPP EVS (Enhanced Voice Service) Codec is being standardized to develop the super-wideband voice codec. This paper deals with the codec design constraints, performance requirements, the status of standardization, and finally perspective on VoLTE service in future.

In this study, a basic concept of wavelet encoding and its advantages over Fourier based phase encoding application. Wavelet encoding has been proposed as an alternative way to Fourier based phase encoding in magnetic resonance imaging. In wavelet encoding, the RF pulse is designed to generate wavelet-shaped excitation profile of spins. From the resulting echo signals, the wavelet transform coefficients of spin distribution are acquired and an original spin density is reconstructed from wavelet expansion. Wavelet encoding has several advantages over phase encoding. By minimizing redundancy of the data acquisition in a dynamic series of images, we can avoid some encoding steps without serious loss of quality in reconstructed image. This strategy may be regarded as data compression during imaging. Although there are some limitations in wavelet encoding, it is a promising scheme in a dynamic imaging.

G.723.1 부호화기는 음성신호의 주기성을 피치와 피치 이득계수로, 스펙트럼 정보를 LSP(Line Spectrum Pair)로 부호화하고 있다. 그런데 주기성을 부호화 할 때 유성음의 피치가 일정한 안정구간과 피치가 변화하는 전이구간의 차이를 두지 않고 처리하여 전이구간에서의 정확한 피치검출이 이루어지지 않는다. 이러한 처리 때문에 전이구간에서의 음질의 열하가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 전이구간의 피치검출의 정확성을 높여 음질을 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 G.723.1 부호화기에서 검출되는 피치 이득계수를 이용하여 안정구간의 피치 이득계수의 문턱 값을 정한다. 그리고 피치 이득 계수가 문턱 값을 넘는 부분에 한하여 구해진 피치를 전후 10샘플을 조절하여 피치 이득계수를 다시 구하여 문턱 값에 가장 가까운 값을 대표피치 이득계수로 정하고 그때의 피치와 함께 부호화한다. 실험 결과 평균 0.6(dB) segmental SNR(Signal to Noise)과 평균0.12 MOS가 향상되었다.

In these days, the size of urban is growing and the function of city becomes complicated. And also, in city, people lives a lot. The life of urban is getting closer and linked with neighboring people in many parts. Especially, when peoples are exposing during using public transportation, even though does not be known, in they were living. Seoul is the most crowded place in Korea. In Seoul,The village buses have been serviced to the narrow streets. And people who use this bus, wants to seek the comfort of the ride, air quality and noise during in vehicle. In this paper, we determine the degree of annoyance with the noise inside the town bus in dB scale. And, such a situation was confirmed annoyance see their effect. The Interior noise did not see a big difference in the new car and the old car. Annoyance but also according to the skill of the bus driver remains the difference was confirmed.

Anterior glottic webs shorten the free margins of the vocal cords and prevent air flow at their locations, thereby changing the potential vibratory characteristics of the vocal system. They are now more often iatrogenic from endolaryngeal surgical procedures, complications of intubation, chronic inflammation or due to penetrating and blunt trauma to the larynx. A wide range of treatment procedures are now available but the solution to acquiring a "normal" voice has remained elusive due to reflectory stenosis and scar formation. We present our recent experiences with glottic web in nine cases using KTP-532 laser vaporization and endolaryngeal silastic keel insertion technique. Postoperative speech assessment in our cases showed significant improvement in voice quality of 7 of 9 cases studied(77.8%), and no specific problems were not seen.

본 논문에서는 음성합성(speech synthesis) 및 부호화(coding) 시스템에 있어서 음원(voice source) 모델링에 관한 문제를 살펴보고자 한다. 기존의 음원 모델링 시스템이 가지고 있는 여러 문제들을 극복하고자 기저함수(basis function) 의 가중 합(weighted-sum)으로 음원을 모델링 하는 새로운 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 방법에서는 음원 파형(voice source waveform)을 적절히 표현하기 위해서 필터뱅크(filter bank)에 기초한 기저함수의 가중 합으로 나타낸다. 다양한 음원 특성을 효과적으로 나타내는 음원 파라미터를 구하기 위하여 EM(estimate maximize)에 기초한 구조에 관해 조사한다. 제안한 방법을 이용하여 다양한 유성음에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 제안한 추정(estimation) 방법 및 모델링 방법을 이용하면 기존의 방법에 비해 더 정확한 음원 파형을 추정할 수 있고, 다양한 음원 특성을 나타낼 수 있다. 또한 음성합성 및 부호화에서도 음성품질(voice quality)를 개선시킬 수 있으리라 기대된다.

인터넷전화 서비스는 저렴한 가격과, 타 서비스와 통합 및 가치부가(Value Added)면에서 기존의 전화에 비해 많은 장점을 가지고 있으나, 상대적으로 낮은 음질로 인하여 사용자의 요구를 만족시키지 못하고 있다. 이것은 현재 인터넷은 best-effort형 패킷 전달 서비스만을 제공하고 있기 때문에 전송지연, 패킷손실, 지터등을 보장할 수 있는 방법이 없기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 인터넷전화에서 패킷손실이나 전송지연으로 인한 음질 저하문제를 SOLA 알고리즘을 이용해 보완하였다. 제시된 알고리즘에서는 송신측에서 패킷을 전송하면 수신측에서는 수신 패킷에 SOLA 알고리즘을 적용하여 수신 패킷을 사람이 인지하지 못하는 수준에서 확장하여 전송지연으로 인한 패킷손실을 감소시킨다. 시뮬레이션 결과 전송지연으로 인한 패킷 손실 확률이 상당히 감소되었고 음질 또한 상당히 개선되었다.

Sasang Constitutional Medicine, a branch of traditional Korean medicine, believes that the health of human beings can be promoted by taking advantage of the fact that people have different constitutions. It utilizes the characteristics in human voice to diagnose the constitution of the patients. This study aims at establishing the relationship between Sasang constitutions and their corresponding voice characteristics by investigating source-related variables. Voice recordings of 23 patients from three different constitutions were obtained whose constitutions had been already diagnosed by the experts in the fields. Fundamental frequency related variables (average pitch, maximum/minimum pitch, pitch range), phonation type, speaking tempo were measured and analyzed for each group. The phonation type seemed to be a possible candidate for a successful variable to determine constitution. No statistically significant relationship was manifested between other variables and constitutions. Despite its failure to firmly establish the relationship between voice and constitutions, the current study suggests that future research should include not only source-related variables

This paper presents a maintenance application for power transformer. High quality maintenance and accurate diagnosis are essential for all transformers, especially for older ones. The developed application provides maintenance guides for dry type transformer and oil-filled transformer to prevent any malfunctions and to lengthen the lifetime of transformers. Based on windows application, TTS (text to speech) and 3D graphics technologies have been used to enhance the user friendly interface. Developed application is helpful for both expert and novice operators at substation.
