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.

Semiconductor piezoresistive type vibration sensor was fabricated by using semiconductor process and micromachining technology. To measure the micro electromagnetic force between coil and magnet, fabricated vibration sensor was used. Toapply micro electromagnetic force produced from the micro exciter, small-sized NdFeB permanent magnet was attached on the mass of the fabricated vibration sensor. The measured electromagnetic force are about 5~180dyne when the applied sinusoidal current of 1KHz in the range of 1.5~8mA. The measurement of micro electromagnetic forcewas performed by changing the distance between coil and magnet. Output characteristics of micro electromagnetic force according to the applied coil current were linear. Furthermore, output results were used to get the transfer constant that is important to decide the efficiency and the performance of the coil and magnet.

The laryngeal framework surgery (LFS) is an operation to correct the position and tension of the vocal cords by changing the laryngeal cartilage and muscles. LFS such as type 1 thyroplasty, arytenoid adduction, and arytenopexy is performed to improve the voice of patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis. It is known that the voice improvement effect of LFS in patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis is excellent and lasts for a long time. LFS can also be operated under local anesthesia. Complications are not common, however, severe complications like airway obstruction could occur after the operation. Recently, several other attempts to modify the traditional surgical method have been reported. This review is intended to be helpful in understanding the characteristics and changes in laryngeal framework surgery.

In this paper, we describe a Voice Command Web Browser using a variable vocabulary word recognizer that can do Internet surfing with Korean speech recognition on the Web. The feature of this browser is that it can handle the links and menus of the web browser by speech. Therefore, we can use speech interface together with mouse for web browsing. To recognize the recognition candidates dynamically changing according to Web pages, we use the variable vocabulary word recognizer. The recognizer was trained using POW (Phonetically Optimized Words) 3,848 words. So that it can recognize new words which did not exist in training data. The preliminary test results showed that the performance of speaker-independent and vocabulary-independent recognition is 93.8% for 32 Korean words. The Voice Command Web Browser was developed on windows 95/NT using Netscape Navigator and reflected usability test results in order to offer easy interface to users unfamiliar with speech interface. In on-line experiment of speaker-independent and environment-independent situation, Voice Command Web Browser showed recognition accuracy of 90%.

The purpose of this study is to find out the significance and functions of the voice-over narration in the storytelling of the web-drama OH Ku-sil. As a result, the first person narration has enhanced the intimacy with a viewer via subjective statements and produced the two time zone effect that the image and the voice-over stood on different tenses. On the other hand, the third person narration has expanded its functions beyond those of the cinema and TV drama. First, the third person narration in OH Ku-sil has performed the essential role presenting significant information for the viewer's understanding story. Second, the objective/authoritative statements of the third person narration have changed to the subjective/suggestive statements. Third, the third person narrator has expanded his/her role from a narrator to a virtual character by means of the comic statements. It seems to be the existing narration's effective response to the web-drama's medium characteristics seeking efficient storytelling under the tight time restriction. Delivering speedily the story information and amusement, this evolutionary voice-over narration is changing its status from the staying off subject to the condition of the new medium called web-drama.

Changes in vocal cords due to aging can change the frequency of speech, and the speech signals of the elderly can be automatically distinguished from normal speech signals through various analyzes. The purpose of this study is to provide a tool that can be easily accessed by the elderly and disabled people who can be excluded from the rapidly changing technological society and to improve the voice recognition performance. In the study, the gender of the subjects was reported as sex analysis, and the number of female and male voice samples was used equally. In addition, the gender analysis was applied to set the voices of the elderly without using voices of all ages. Finally, we applied a review methodology of standards and reference models to reduce gender difference. 10 Korean women and 10 men aged 70 to 80 years old are used in this study. Comparing the F0 value extracted directly with the waveform and the F0 extracted with TF32 and the Wavesufer speech analysis program, Wavesufer analyzed the F0 of the elderly voice better than TF32. However, there is a need for a voice analysis program for elderly people. In conclusions, analyzing the voice of the elderly will improve speech recognition and synthesis capabilities of existing smart medical systems.

Noise estimation and detection algorithm to adapt quickly to changing noise environment using the LMS Filter. However, the LMS Filter for noise estimation for a certain period of time and need time to adapt. If the signal changes occur, have the disadvantage of being more adaptive time-consuming. Therefore, noise removal method is proposed to a frame basis AELMS Filter to compensate. In this paper, we split the input signal on a frame basis in noisy environments. Remove the LMS Filter by configuring noise predictions using the mean and variance. Noise, even if the environment changes fast adaptation time to remove the noise. Remove noise and environmental noise and speech input signal is mixed to maintain the unique characteristics of the voice is a way to reduce the damage of voice information. Noise removal method using a frame basis AELMS Filter To evaluate the performance of the noise removal. Experimental results, the attenuation obtained by removing the noise of the changing environment was improved by an average of 6.8dB.
