In case of an emergency such as a fire on a building and there is a need to evacuate the occupant in that building, it is important to have the guidance information effectively delivered to the evacuating occupants to guide them toward a safe direction using audio sensual media. And, it is also very important to prevent the evacuating occupants getting lost or falling astray, away from the direction toward safety. The purpose of this study, in this respect, is to examine the possible application of the precedent sound effect, with which the evacuating occupants may get a sense of the direction where the announcement comes from. With such an effect, an experiment was conducted to measure the extent to which people can hear the preceding and the following sound in terms of the acoustic pressure level changes and delay time changes, with a view to make the optimal evacuation-guidance announcement or sound. The optimal evacuation guidance sound (announcement) per each of the experimental indoors environments were as follows; 1) Regarding the optimal condition for the evacuation guidance announcement sound in the space of a lecture room, the direction of the advanced sound is positively recognized when the follow-up sound has the delaying time of 10 ms~50 ms in comparison with the advanced sound or when there is no difference between the acoustic pressures of the advanced and follow-up sounds or the acoustic pressure of the advanced sound is higher than that of the follow-up sound. 2) Regarding the optimal evacuation guidance announcement sound in the space of a hall, the advanced sound is positively recognized when the follow-up sound has the delaying time of 20 ms~60 ms in comparison with the advanced sound. 3) Regarding the optimal evacuation guidance announcement sound in the space of a gymnasium, the advanced sound is positively recognized when the follow-up sound has the delaying time of 10 ms~40 ms in comparison with the advanced sound or when the sound pressure of the advanced sound has a higher level than or the same level as that of the follow-up sound.

Logical Effort [1, 2] is a simple hand-calculated method that measures quick delay estimation. It has the advantage of reducing the design cycle time. However, it has shortcomings in designing a path for minimum area or power under a fixed-delay constraint. The method of overcoming the shortcomings is shown in [3], but it is constrained for a single logical path. This paper presents an advanced gate sizing method in multiple logical paths based on the equal delay model. According to the results of the simulation, the power dissipation for both the existing logical effort method and proposed method is almost equal. However, compared with the existing logical effort method, it is about 52 (%) more efficient in space.

Before blasts that can have direct impacts on human bodies or structures, it is necessary to assess impacts of ground vibration. Therefore, frequency has been recognized as an important factor in order to assess impact on ground vibration and damages. There have been many studies on impacts of frequency. But, there have been no studies on relations between vibration and frequency according to delay time difference. In this study, we examined the relations between delay time difference and frequency according to each frequency with which reinforcement and destructive intervention repeat through delay time difference obtained using superposition modeling of single hole blasting waveform based on the theory of time difference developed by Langefors.

병렬 그래프 감축 모델에 있어서 투기적 연산(speculative evaluation)모델은 병렬성을 증가시키지만 불필요한 연산으로 인해 자원을 낭비할 수 있다. 투기적 태스크가 람다 연산식을 WHNF(Weak Head Normal Form)로 감축할 때, 대치과정은 그래프를 증가시킬 수 있고, 많은 복사과정을 요구할 수 있다. 이러한 투기적 태스크는 나중에 불필요한 연산이 될 수있고 이 경우 이러한 투기적 태스크에서 발생한 다른 모든 투기적 태스크들을 종료해야 하는 부담이 있다. 또한 불필요하게 된 복사과정으로 인한 기억 공간을 재사용이 가능한 상태로 만들어 주어야 한다. 본 논문은 WHNF 또는 HNF 로 감축할 대 발생할수 있는 불필요한 대치과정으로 인한 오버헤드를 줄이기 위해 대치과정이 지연된 람다 연산식 형태 (DSF : Deferred Substitution Form)를 제안한다. 이 형태는 대치과정을 필수적 태스크(mandatory task)가 수행될 때 까지 지연시키기 위한 람다 연산식 형태이다. 대치과정이 지연된 람다 연산식 형태로의 감축을 수행하는 투기적 태스크에서 , 대치과정이 존재하지 않기 때문에 그래프의 크기가 증가하지 않고 또한 복사과정을 요구하지 않는다. 따라서 연산식에 대한 대치과정이 지연된 람다 연산식 형태로의 감축이 불필요하게 된 경우 부담이 줄어들게 된다. 아울러 병렬성을 증가시키기 위한 연산모델을 제안한다.

Wireless communication channels with the most severe multipath fading phenomenon that appears each time a different delay is caused by the frequency selective fading. At this time, ISI due to the performance degradation of wireless communication channels and data transfer speed gives the constraints. OFDM technique can remove ISI inserting longer guard interval than channel delay spread of channel between symbol. However, the multi-path delay of the channel to be serious with the guard interval can not eliminate ISI. In this case, using the equalizer must compensate. Especially, use of equalizer is need absolutely as data rate becomes high speed. In this paper, we analyze the BER performance with pre-equalization for MIMO-OFDM over fading channel. The results of this paper can be applied to MIMO-OFDM system with equalization.

With the rapid development of technologies related to Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN), sensors are being utilized in various application areas. In general, the data sensed by each sensor node on ubiquitous sensor networks are stored into the central server for efficient search. Because update is delayed to reduce the cost of update in this environment, uncertain data can be stored in the central server. In addition, Uncertain data make query processing produce wrong results in the central server. Thus, this paper examines how to process uncertain data in ubiquitous sensor networks and suggests a new index for efficient processing of uncertain data. The index reduces the cost of update by delaying update in uncertainty areas. Uncertainty areas are areas where uncertain data are likely to exist. In addition, it solves the problem of low accuracy in search resulting from update delay by delaying update only for specific update areas. Lastly, we analyze the performance of the index and prove the superiority of its performance by comparing its performance evaluation.

A predictive controller is designed based upon stochastic methods for compensation time-delay effect on a system which has inherent time-delay caused by the spatial separation between controllers and actuators. The predictive controller estimates current outputs through linear prediction methods and probability functions utilizing previous outputs, and minimizes the malicious phenomena caused by the time-delay in precision control systems. To demonstrate effectiveness of this control methodology, we applied this algorithm for the control of a tele-operated DC servomotor. The experimental results show that this predictive controller is superior to the PID controller in terms of convergence-characteristics, and show that this controller expands the maximum allowable time-delay for a system maintaining the stability. Since the proposed predictor does not require models of plants - it requires only stochastic information for outputs --, it is a general scheme which can be applied for the control of systems which are difficult to model or the compensator of PID control.

This paper proposes a detection method for irregularity of ionospheric delay in network RTK (Real Time Kinematic) Environment. The linearity of network RTK correction provided to user can't be assured when a characteristic of temporal-spatial of ionospheric delay is rapidly changed due to geomagnetic storm or solar flare. Therefore, incorrect ambiguity can be resolved and positioning error can be increased. A detection method for irregularity of ionospheric delay is needed to provide reliable correction. In this paper, index to detect irregularity of ionospheric delay is calculated from dispersive corrections and occurrence of irregularity is judged by comparing index and thresholds.

본 연구에서는 원격 화상회의 시스템 등에서 Camera를 자동적으로 제어하기 위해 화자의 음성신호를 4개의 마이크로폰 배열(Microphone Array)로 수음하여 그 신호에 의해 화자의 위치를 추정한다. 마이크로폰으로 수음한 음성신호의 TDE(Time Delay Estimation)를 계산할 때 그 연산량을 감소시키기 위해 AMDF 알고리즘을 사용한다. 각 마이크로폰 출력신호에 대해 AMDF 알고리즘으로 시간지연을 구하고 DOA(Direction of Arrival)를 계산한다. 그리고 다시 공간 기하계산을 통해 공간내 화자의 위치를 추정한다. 시험 신호로써 음성신호 '아'음을 사용한 수치 시뮬레이션과 반사음이 존재하는 일반 강의실에서 아나운서가 발성하는 음을 사용하여 AMDF 알고리즘을 이용한 화자위치 추정의 정확도를 조사하였다.
