In a passive sonar, the improvement of detection performance by using noise cancellation is usually a important problem. In this paper, we have analyzed the own-ship noise cancellation in the two operation modes which are used in the HMS system. In the operator mode, an adaptive line enhancer(ALE) is applied to improve the tonal detection by using broadband noise cancellation and the normalized least mean square(NLMS) algorithm is applied to the design of an adaptive filter. The reference input that is correlated with a primary input can be used to remove the noise incident on the observation directionin the automatic mode. Computer simulations with real sea that data show that the proposed adaptive noise canceller has good performance in passive detection under HMS operation.

Recently, mean-teacher models based on convolutional recurrent neural networks are popularly used in audio event detection. The mean-teacher model is an architecture that consists of two parallel CRNNs and it is possible to train them effectively on the weakly-labelled and unlabeled audio data by using the consistency learning metric at the output of the two neural networks. In this study, we tried to improve the performance of the mean-teacher model by using additional derivative features of the log-mel spectrum. In the audio event detection experiments using the training and test data from the Task 4 of the DCASE 2018/2019 Challenges, we could obtain maximally a 8.1% relative decrease in the ER(Error Rate) in the mean-teacher model using proposed derivative features.

The porcelain insulators are important devices, that are used to isolate electrically and hold mechanically in the high-voltage power transmission systems. The faults of the insulators induce very serious problems to the power transmission line. In this paper, we introduce techniques for fault detections of insulators by acoustic radiation noises from them. We measured radiation noises from normal state insulators and fault state insulators. The used insulators were two different type porcelain insulators, a cut out switch, two different type line posters, and a lightning arrester. Each results was compared each other in time domain, frequency domain and filter banks' outputs. We found the possibility of detection of insulators' faults and also suggested techniques for fault detections.

A car horn serves a crucial safety role as a means of communication between drivers and a part that alerts pedestrians in advance. While previous studies have utilized finite element method and electric circuit model to simulate and analyze characteristics of the car horns, there remains a lack of research on design methods of a trumpet horn. This paper presents a design approach that predicts the operating frequency based on the acoustic reactance at the throat of the horn, once the vibrating part is determined. We deal with a horn combining both an exponential horn and a waveguide in the acoustic section, and confirm that the acoustic reactance at the horn throat measured by impedance tube experiment agrees well compared with the numerical result obtained using the finite element method. The resonance frequency of the car horn is predicted using the COMSOL Multiphysics finite element numerical analysis model, and the proposed design method is validated by measuring the operating frequency of the designed horn in a sound pressure experiment. As a result, the resonance measured in a semi-anechoic chamber environment by applying a DC voltage of 12 [V] excluding the holder occurs accurately within a few [Hz] of the design operating frequency. This paper discuss the design method of a trumpet horn from the perspective of the horn's acoustic reactance, and is expected to be useful for designing horn systems.

We propose an effective voice-based gender identification method using a support vector machine(SVM). The SVM is a binary classification algorithm that classifies two groups by finding the voluntary nonlinear boundary in a feature space and is known to yield high classification performance. In the present work, we compare the identification performance of the SVM with that of a Gaussian mixture model(GMM) using the mel frequency cepstral coefficients(MFCC). A novel means of incorporating a features fusion scheme based on a combination of the MFCC and pitch is proposed with the aim of improving the performance of gender identification using the SVM. Experiment results indicate that the gender identification performance using the SVM is significantly better than that of the GMM. Moreover, the performance is substantially improved when the proposed features fusion technique is applied.

Recently, the performances of electrical and electronic devices are improving while the sizes are becoming smaller. As sound-generating systems, the two-dimensional speakers have been developed in place of conventional three-dimensional ones. Piezoelectric materials show the mechanical vibrations due to the voltage applied from outside the materials. The early film speakers had a limitations of output power in that it was not easy to make the conducting macromolecular films on the surfaces of the materials due to the internal chemical properties of materials. We have adopted the corona surface treatment in order to improve the output characteristics by increasing the adhesion of the coating material on to the surface of the center material of piezo film. The results showed the improvement of output power in the wider range of operating frequencies.

This study is a study on System On Chip (SOC) that implements virtual engine sound in electric vehicles without engines, and realizes vivid engine sound by combining Adaptive Difference PCM (ADPCM) method and frequency modulation method for satisfaction of driver's needs and safety of pedestrians. In addition, by proposing an electronic sound synthesis algorithm applying Musical Instrument Didital Interface (MIDI), an engine sound synthesis method and a constitutive model of an engine sound generation system are presented. In order to satisfy both drivers and pedestrians, this study uses Controller Area Network (CAN) communication to receive information such as Revolution Per Minute (RPM), vehicle speed, accelerator pedal depressed amount, torque, etc., transmitted according to the driver's driving habits, and then modulates the frequency according to the appropriate preset parameters We implemented an interaction algorithm that accurately reflects the intention of the system and driver by using interpolation for the system, ADPCM algorithm for reducing the amount of information, and MIDI format information for making engine sound easier.

In active sonar system, aspect angle and length of a target can be estimated by calculating the cross-correlation between left and right split-beams of a LFM(Linear Frequency Modulated) signal. However, high-resolution performances in bearing and range are required to estimate the information of a remote target. Because a certain higher sampling frequency than the Nyquist sampling frequency is required in this performance, an over-sampling process through interpolation method should be required. However, real-time implementation of split-beam processing with over-sampled split-beam outputs on a COTS(commercial off-the-shelf) DSP platform limits its performance because of given throughput and memory capacity. This paper proposes a cumulative processing algorithm for split-beam processing to solve the problems. The performance of the proposed method was verified through some simulation tests. Also, the proposed method was implemented as a real-time system using an ADSP-TS101.

A series of the studies on the applied physical properties of domestic species have been conducted last three years. Liriodendron tulipifera, Betula costata, Paulownia coreana were examined on sorption property, thermal property, electric property, acoustic property. Because the same apparatus and experimental procedures were used for all species, their results can be easily comparable. The experiments for sorption property were conducted with 80 mesh wood powder and resulted in their EMC's and sorption isotherms. The thermal conductivity and diffusivity, and electric resistance and volumetric electric resistivity were measured with a thermal-wire device and a high electric resistance meter. The differences of the thermal and electric properties between quarter-and flat-sawn specimens were observed, which was partially attributed to their anatomical differences. An acoustic measurement system was used to evaluate dynamic MOE and internal friction. This paper provides the useful fundamental data for designing a wood structure, correcting a portable resistance-type moisture meter, and acoustic properties of wood.
