RPWM(Random Pulse Width Modulation) is a switching technique to spread the voltage and current harmonics on the wide frequency area. Using randomly changed switching frequency of the inverter, the power spectrum of the electromagnetic acoustic noise cab be spread to the wide-band area. The wide-band noise is much more comfortable and less annoying than the narrow-band one. So RPWM have been attracting an interest as an excellent method for the reduction of acoustic noise on the inverter drive system. In this paper a new RPPWM (Random Position PWM) is proposed and implemented. Each of three pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. Along with the randomization of PWM pulses, the space vector modulation is executed in the C167 microcontroller also. The experimental results show that the voltage and current harmonics were spread to wide band area and that the audible switching noise was reduced by proposed RPPWM method.

A neural network based upon the back propagation algorithm was designed and applied to acoustic power spectra of electrohydraulic total artificial hearts in order to diagnose mechanical failure of devices. The trained network distinguished spectra of the mechanically damaged device from those of the undamaged device with overall success rate of 63%. Moreover, the network correctly classified more than 70% of spectra in the frequency bands of 0-100 Hz and 700-950 Hz. Consequently, the neural network analysis was useful for the diagnosis of mechanical failure of a total artificial heart.

This study was conducted to develop an automatic egg inspection system for detecting creaked eggs based on acoustic impulse response. This system includes a sound generator, a sound sensor with signal conditioner, and a computer. The sound generator that hit the sharp of the dull edges of an egg was constructed with a ceramic ball pendulum attached to a rotary type solenoid. The signal conditioner included a pre-amplifier and a digital signal processing (DSP) board. The parameters for distinguishing cracked and normal eggs were the area, the geometric centroid and the resonance frequency of power spectrum of the acoustic signal generated. An algorithm for on-line detection of the continuous transferring eggs was developed. The performance tests resulted with 91% success rate to separate cracked and normal eggs at the rate of 1 second per an egg.

An usual acoustic emission(AE) event has two widely characterized parameters in time domain, peak amplitude and event duration. But noise in AE measuring may disturb the signals with its parameters and aggrandize the signal incertitude. Experiment activity of detection of the nick inside of porcelain with AE was made and study on AE signal processing with statistic be presented in this paper in order to pick-up information expected from the signal with noise. Effort is concentrated on developing a novel arithmetic to improve extraction of the characteristic from stochastic signal and to enhance the voracity of detection. The main purpose discussed in this paper is to treat with signals on amplitudes with statistic mutuality and power density spectrum in frequency domain, and farther more to select samples for neural networks training by means of least-squares algorithm between real measuring signal and deterministic signals under laboratory condition. By seeking optimization with the algorithm, the parameters representing characteristic of the porcelain object are selected, while the stochastic interfere be weakened, then study for detection on neural networks is developed based on processing above.

Resonant-type electronic ballast for a metal halide discharge(MHD) lamp is proposed and implemented for 400W MHD lamp. HID lamps have good color rendition, long life and good focusing capability but they have flickers by acoustic resonance when driven at high frequency. A new control method is employed to remove acoustic resonance related instability in HID lamp. By using the amplitude modulation, a spread spectrum effect is employed on the ballast. The control loop of resonant inverter is analyzed and a current is designed. The ballast consists of a power factor controller, an half-bridge resonant inverter, a simple ignitor and an integrator with OP-amps. The experimental results show the good performance as PF 0.93, ballast loss 22W at output 400W and the conducted EMI level is below 60dBuV.

This paper presents a microprocessor controlled digital ballast for HID lamps, which gives intelligent features such as a precise power control, optimum ignition voltage and detection of end of life. Average current mode PFC is employed for reducing EMI and a universal input. Direct spread spectrum is done by applying 1 KHz triangular wave for removing acoustic resonance. This frequency modulation of 1 KHz gives also low EMI level and no ripple on lamp current. The microprocessor controls the voltage of DC-bus, the voltage of ignition pulses, the power of output and the bandwidth of spread spectrum. A 250W digital ballast is implemented with an efficiency of 93％ and a maximum EMI level of 55 ㏈${\mu}$V.

The pulsating pressure waves are composed of fundamental frequency and higher order harmonics in exhaust pipe of engines. The nonlinearity in exhaust pipe is caused by their interactions. The error which is between prediction and measurement is induced by the nonlinearity. We can not explain this phenomenon using linear acoustic theory which is existing theory. So power spectrum which was used in linear theory is not useful. Bispectrum and bicoherence functions which are a higher order spectrum are applicable to explain this phenomenon. This paper proposes a nonlinear effect of pulsating pressure waves. The phenomenon proposed here is identified by using of higher order spectrum density functions.

본 연구는 미국영어 화자의 평균적 음향 스펙트럼 분포를 확보한 후 과학영재학교 재학생의 영어발화 양상을 비교하여 상대적으로 우수한 지적 역량을 갖춘 우리나라 과학영재들의 초분절적 영어 유창성 양상을 규명하고, 그 근접성 정도가 영재학교 학생의 영어 과목 정기고사 성취도와 어떤 관계성을 갖는지 탐구하고자 진행되었다. 불과 수 초에서 수십 초에 불과한 음성녹음 데이터 위주로 분석을 시행했던 종래의 연구와 달리 총 4시간에 달하는 미국영어 원어민 화자(남성 15명, 여성 15명)의 음성녹음 자료를 MATLAB(R2022a; The Math Works) 코드로 분석하여 20 -20,000 Hz 주파수 범위 내의 대역별로 장기 스펙트럼 음향에너지 분포값을 확보했으며, 이를 기준으로 과학영재학교 1학년 신입생 80명의 녹음데이터 LTASS(long-term average speech spectrum) 분석 수치와 비교한 결과, 영어 과목 학기말고사의 학업성취도 수준이 상위 30% 이내인 학생들의 표본을 제외하고는 미국영어 음향에너지 분포와의 근접성이 통계적으로 유미하지 않다고 밝혀졌다. 영재학교 입학 후 영어 성취도를 예측하기 위한 지표를 발견하기 위해 수용성 어휘크기검사(receptive vocabulary size test), 학기 중 복수 회 실시한 영어 어휘 형성평가 퀴즈 누적 점수, 공인 영어말하기시험(English Speaking Proficiency Test, ESPT) 성취도를 추가 변량으로 하여 정기고사 성취도와의 상관관계 분석 및 각 변량 간 선형 회귀분석을 시행하였는데, 대개 유년시절 완성되는 영어 유창성을 측정하는 ESPT보다는, 1학기 및 2학기 초 실시한 수용성 어휘크기검사 및 수과학 분야 저빈도 어휘 위주 형성평가 점수와의 통계적 유의성이 월등히 높다는 사실이 관찰되었다. 따라서, 본 연구로부터 확보된 이론적 기반을 토대로 국내 영재학교에서는 발음교육보다 과학영재를 주요 대상으로 한 전문적 수준의 저빈도어휘 교육이 보다 효과적인 교수 요목이라 추정할 수 있다.

Egg grading is determined by exterior and interior quality. Among the evaluation methods for the egg quality, a candling method is common to identify eggs with cracked shells and interior defects. But this method is time-consuming and laborious. In addition, practically, it is challenging to detect hairline and micro cracks. In this study, an on-line inspection system based on acoustic resonance frequency analysis was developed to detect hairline cracks on eggshells. A roller conveyor was used to transfer eggs along one lane to the impact position where each of eggs rotated by the roller was excited with an impact device at four different locations on the eggshell equator. The impact device was consisted of a plastic hammer and a rotary solenoid. The acoustic response of the egg to the impact was measured with a small condenser microphone at the same position as the impact device was installed. Two acoustic parameters, correlation coefficient for normalized power spectra and standard deviation of peak resonant frequencies, were used to detect cracked eggs. Intact eggs showed relatively high correlations among the four normalized power spectra and low standard deviations of the four peak resonant frequencies. On the other hand, cracked eggs showed low correlations and high standard deviations as compared to the intact. This method allowed a crack detection rate of 97.6%.

황해 군산분지의 지하 지질구조를 파악하기 위하여 인공위성 해면고도계 중력자료를 이용하여 파워 스펙트럼 분석(power spectrum analysis) 방법으로 밀도 불연속면의 평균 깊이를 계산하였다. 계산 결과에 의하면 군산분지를 포함한 본 연구지역에서는 각각 -1.1km, -3.4km, -9.1km 그리고 -31.0km의 평균 깊이를 가지는 밀도 불연속면이 검출되었다. -1.1km 평균 깊이의 밀도 불연속면은 본 연구지역의의 탄성파 단면에서 관찰되는 왕복 주시 1초 부근에서 나타나는 광역 부정합면으로 해석되었고, -3.4km 평균 깊이의 밀도 불연속면 또한 탄성파 단면에서 인지되는 음향기반암 상부면과 일치하는 것으로 해석되었다. -9.1km 평균 깊이의 밀도 불연속면은 본 연구지역의 시추공 자료, 탄성파 단면, 광역 지질 등을 고려하여 화성기원 기반암의 상부면으로 해석하였다. 이는 본 연구지역의 음향 기반암층은 기존의 연구에서 고려 대상이 되지 않았던 퇴적암으로 이루어져 있음을 의미한다. -31.0km의 평균 깊이를 가지는 밀도 불연속면은 일반적인 대륙지각의 평균 두께와 유사한 값을 보이므로 모호면으로 해석하였다. 화성기원 기반암 상부면으로 해석된 -9.1km 평균 깊이의 밀도 불연속면의 검출은 군산분지의 석유 가스 부존 가능성에 관한 연구에 있어 기존의 연구보다 심부층(음향 기반암층)에 대한 연구가 필요함을 시사하였다.
