This paper proposes a speech enhancement method utilizing the feature compensation gain for robust speech recognition performances in noisy environments. In this paper we propose a speech enhancement method utilizing the feature compensation gain which is obtained from the PCGMM (Parallel Combined Gaussian Mixture Model)-based feature compensation method employing variational model composition. The experimental results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the conventional front-end algorithms and our previous research over various background noise types and SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) conditions in mismatched ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) system condition. The computation complexity is significantly reduced by employing the noise model selection technique with maintaining the speech recognition performance at a similar level.

Analog channel selection filter is described which is designed for a direct-conversion receiver of a IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN. The channel selection filter is an active-RC fifth-order Chebyshev filter with 10MHz cut-off frequency. Two-stage operational amplifier of the filter employs a current re-using feedforward frequency compensation scheme to minimize the power consumption. The filter has been implemented in a 0.18mm CMOS technology and the experimental results show 20mW power consumption with 1.8V supply voltage and 19dB out-of-band iIP3.

This paper deals with parameter tuning of the Power System Stabilizer (PSS) for 612 MVA thermal power plants in the KEPCO system and its validation in a field test. In this paper, the selection of parameters, such as lead-lag time constants for phase compensation and system gain, is optimized using linear and eigenvalue analyses. This is then verified through the time-domain transient stability analysis. In the next step, the performance of PSS is finally verified by the generator's on-line field test. After the field test, measured and simulated data are also compared to prove the effectiveness of the models used in the simulations.

The purposes of this research were to segment consumer groups according to sportswear benefits sought and to find the differences among the groups in regard to domestic vs imported brand attitudes, internet vs department store attitudes, and sportswear purchasing behavior. The subjects used for the research were 773 male and female consumers who were residents in Seoul. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, cluster analysis, ANOVA, and Duncan test. The results showed that there were four sportswear benefit segments: figure compensation/ ostentation, individuality, comfort/function, and youth-oriented groups. Statistical analyses showed that the four sportswear benefit segments were different in regard to imported brand attitudes, department store attitudes, and sportswear purchasing behavior. For example, figure compensation/ ostentation segment had more positive attitude toward imported brands and department stores, considered design and advertisement important as sportswear selection criteria, and had a highest expenditure on sportswear purchase. The implications of the research were discussed.

Business transactional process is usually long running computation which requests services from multiple enterprises. Web Services Transaction specification (WS-TX) defines a protocol, WS-BusinessActivity which is specifically designed for such lengthy interaction and maintains overall consistency through compensation. However timely web services transaction is prone to compensate due to tasks' missing deadline. Therefore, this paper proposes a reservation-based protocol which is used to select providers who can provide resources promptly and deselect ones who may fail. And this selection happens during resource reservation phase and before real commitment. In this way, we achieve the goal of minimizing transactions' compensation. Finally, we design the framework architecture for the proposed protocol that is extended from WS-BusinessActivity.

Currently, the delayed compensation system, which does not reflect the R&D characteristics of the defense industry, is being applied, causing problems such as worsening management of defense companies and delayed power generation. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the development of the defense industry and the efficient promotion of combat capability by studying the improvement plan of the delayed compensation system reflecting the R&D characteristics of the defense industry. The research analyzed the defense industry R&D characteristics, national R&D, delayed compensation rate, reduction and exemption procedures and existing studies. Further, the Delphi technique was applied based on the status of the delayed compensation and the analysis of the cause of delay. It has been studied that it is not appropriate to apply the 'manufacturing and purchasing' standard of commercial products to defense industry R&D where the latest technology is applied and the success is unclear. Four measures were drawn to prevent delays, including the selection of excellent technology companies, and three measures to reduce delay compensation and apply differentials for rational treatment in case of delays. Just as the defense industry R&D is carried out under the Defense Acquisition Program Act due to the nature of the R&D industry, the defense industry will develop if the delayed compensation system is improved to reflect the R&D characteristics of the defense industry, and it will contribute to the acquisition of an efficient and economic weapons system.

This paper presents a method to extract a good high-resolution image from a low-resolution video in an automatic manner. Since a high-resolution image reconstruction method utilizing several low-resolution input images works better than a conventional interpolation method utilizing single low-resolution input image only if the input images are well registered onto a common high-resolution grid, low-resolution input images should be carefully chosen so that the registration errors can be carefully considered. In this paper, the statistics obtained from the motion-compensated low-resolution images are utilized to evaluate the feasibility of the input image candidates. Maximum motion-compensation error is estimated from the high-resolution image observation model. U the motion-compensation error of the input image candidate is greater than the estimated maximum motion-compensation error, the input image candidate is discarded. The number of good input image candidates and the statistics of the motion-compensation errors are used to choose final input images. The final input images chosen from the input image selection block are given to the following high-resolution image reconstruction block. It is expected that the proposed method is utilized to extract a good high-resolution image efficiently from a low-resolution video without any user intervention.

In the on-line security analysis of power system, Automatic Contingency Selection (ACS) is commonly used to reduce the number of contingency cases which will be evaluated in detail. This paper describes a fast and reliable ACS method which adopts DC load flow in conjunction with compensation theorem to improve execution time, and applies severity performance index, divided on each limit level for considering overload rate, to make reliable contingency ranking. The method has been tested in IEEE 25 bus system and KEPCO 130 bus actual power system. The results of these tests verify its superiority to both the execution time and reliability, and illustrate its effectiveness for the practical use.

This paper presents a rule-based approach for automatically selecting critical contingencies in electric power systems. The rules required to perform the task are derived from inspection about results of simulation and expertise of operators. And inherent information of system, for example, topology of system configuration, and flow direction in a line by compensation theorem. etc., which are independent of operating point of system, is stored in the database using the off-line calculation. The approach was investigated using the study of a sample test system. Since it is based on the knowledge engineering technique, efficiency of selection can be improved by updating and adding the rules.

In this paper we propose a novel method which improves digital image stabilization performance using adoptive selection of motion estimation area. Candidate area for motion estimation is decided and through two processes, multi image reference and edge energy distinction, final motion estimation area is selected. Then Motion estimation and compensation is following in selected area. Experimental results show that proposed method improves performance of digital image stabilization.
