A new active muffler system has been developed and its superior performance on both noise reduction and engine torque increase is demonstrated with experiment. Main characteristic of the proposed muffler system is the use of destructive interference by transmission path difference of divided exhaust pipes to reduce major exhaust noise components thereby overcoming problems of other active exhaust noise control methods. The exhaust pipe is divided into two sections and joined again downstream. One divided pipe has a sliding mechanism to vary its length, which is controlled to make half wavelength transmission path difference for the major engine rpm frequency. In this system one divided pipe is used to control major rpm frequency and its Harmonics and another pipe is used to control noise component double the frequency of rpm. An after-market tuning muffler, which has very simple internal structure and minimal back pressure, is also installed to remove remaining wideband noise. To make the system to be small enough to be practical, conventional muffler is also installed and used in low rpm range and active muffler is only employed in high rpm range. Noise reduction of the proposed system is comparable to conventional passive muffler. The engine dynamo test has proved the proposed system can recover almost all the torque lost by conventional muffler.

We discuss main techniques to improve legibility of electroluminescent displays. Emphasis is placed on use of destructive optical interference to cancel ambient light reflected from the back electrode of the device. Basic optical principles and material composition of the optical interference contrast-enhancing stack (CES) are presented. We also describe the improved human factors of electroluminescent devices assisted with a CES. Achromatic contrast is the most important contributor to display's legibility. In some conditions color contrast may also be important. Contributing to both luminance and color contrast enhancement, the contrast-enhancing stack may play an important role in various display applications.

수심이 변하는 천해 환경에서 이동하는 선박방사소음의 광대역 간섭 유형을 고찰하였다. 수심 변화율이 일정한 음도파관에 대해 단열 모드 이론에 근거하여 거리-주파수 영역에서의 보강 (또는 상쇄) 간섭 발생 유형을 나타내는 음도파관 불변인자 (waveguide invariant index, β)를 유도하였다. 이를 이용하여 수심 변화에 의한 광대역 간섭 형태 변형을 해석하였다. 해석적 방법으로 고찰한 간섭 유형은 해상 실험과 수치 모델을 이용한 모의실험에서도 나타남을 확인하였다.

KDP 결정에서 2차 고조파가 발생될 때와 질소기체에서 CARS신호가 발생될 때 나타나는 간섭현상을 조사하였다. 비선형 신호들의 위상차이를 주기 위하여 광학유리를 이용하여 제작된 위상변이장치와 고압기체셀을 사용하였으며 각 매질에 대한 가간섭길이를 측정하였다. 특정한 스톡스광의 파장에서 CARS신호가 상쇄간섭을 일으키도록 위상변이장치의 두께를 조정한 후, 넓은 파장영역에서 상쇄간섭된 질소 CARS 스펙트럼을 얻었다. 위상변이장치의 두께를 바꾸면서 상쇄간섭정도의 변화를 관찰하였다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze elementary school teachers' understanding, certainty, and familiarity with 13 key concepts of wave physics that are presented in textbook and teacher's guidebook. 123 elementary school teachers answered concept tests and questionnaires. In the results to these tests and questionnaires, teachers demonstrated a high level of understanding and high certainty in understanding with regard to the concepts of sound generation, effect of medium on wave, timbre, wavelength, and trough and crest of wave. For the topics of sound velocity, wave reflection and wave transmission, teachers demonstrated a high level of understanding but low certainty in understanding. With regard to sound propagation, teachers demonstrated a low level of understanding and an improperly high certainty in that low understanding. Teachers lacked knowledge, i.e., displayed a low level of understanding and low certainty in sound strength, sound frequency, constructive interference and destructive interference. In constructive and destructive interference, the teachers also displayed a low level of familiarity. We analyzed the differences in teacher's understanding, certainty, and familiarity according to teacher demographics defined by the teacher's gender, teaching experience with concepts of sound, career, curriculum track while in high school, and major in university. There were no significant differences in understanding, certainty, or familiarity as defined by gender, teaching experience, and career. However, these displays of knowledge were affected by the teacher's curriculum track in high school and their major. These results suggest that the teacher's understanding of, familiarity with, and certainty in wave physics concepts are more influenced by their learning experience than by their teaching experience. Therefore, we suggest additional learning opportunities for teachers (such as teacher training programs) in order to improve teacher knowledge and correct teacher misconceptions in wave physics.

The Tomographic Gamma Scan (TGS) technique partitions radioactive waste drums into $10{\times}10{\times}16$ voxels and assays both the density and concentration of radioactivity for each voxel thus providing for improved accuracy, when compared to the traditional Non-Destructive Assay(NDA) techniques. It could decrease the degree of precision measurement since there is a trade-off between spatial resolution and precision. This latter drawback is compensated by expanding the Region of Interest (ROI) that differentiates the full energy peaks, which, in turn, results in an optimized degree of precision. The enlarged ROI, however, increases the probability of interference among those nuclides that emit energies in the adjacent spectrum. This study has identified the cause of such interference for the reference nuclide of the TGS technique, $^{137}Cs$ (661.66 keV, half-life 30.5 years), to be $^{110m}Ag$ (657.75 keV, half-life 249.76 days). A new calibration method of determining the optimized ROI was developed, and its effectiveness in accurately characterizing $^{137}Cs$ and eliminating the interference was further ascertained.

본 논문에서는 비트 패턴드 자기기록 저장장치 채널을 위한 2차원 변조부호를 제안한다. 패턴드 미디어 기록장치는 하나의 자성점에 한 비트의 정보를 저장한다. 정보저장 기록 밀도를 높이기 위하여 인접한 트랙 사이의 간격을 아주 좁게 만들기 때문에 인접한 트랙간 간섭(intertrack interference, ITI)과 인접한 심볼간 간섭(intersymbol interference, ISI)이 문제가 된다. 따라서 한 비트 신호의 진폭은 2차원 간섭에 의해 변형된다. 같은 값으로 둘러싸인 비트의 신호가, 특히 어느 한 비트의 값이 둘러싸인 여덟 비트의 값과 동일한 경우 영향을 받는다. 제안된 변조부호 방법은 기존의 변조부호보다 좋은 부호율을 가지면서 위와 같은 최악의 경우가 발생하지 않도록 하므로써 패턴드 미디어의 기록 성능을 향상시키도록 한다.

This paper attempts to examine the characteristics of underwater acoustic signals distorted in shallow water environments. Time signals are simulated using an acoustic model that employs the Fourier synthesis scheme. An acoustic experiment was conducted in the shallow sea near Pohang, Korea, where water depth is about 60m. The environment in the simulation is set up so that it approximates the experimental condition, which can be regarded as range-independent. The signal is LFM(linar frequency modulated) type centered on one of the four frequencies 200, 400, 600 and 800Hz, each being swept up or down with the bandwidth of 100Hz. To analyze the signal characteristics, the study introduces a spectrum estimation scheme, pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (PWVD). The simulated and measured signals suffer great interference by the interaction of neighboring rays. Although there are constructive or destructive interference, the signals keep LFM characteristics well. This is thought that only a few dominant rays of small loss contribute to the receive signals in a shallow water environment.

A methodology is proposed to estimate a trajectory of a flying target and its velocity using the time and frequency analysis of the acoustic signal. The measurement of sound emitted from a flying acoustic source with a microphone above a ground shall receive both direct and ground-reflected sound waves. For certain frequency contents, the destructive interference happens in received signal waveform reflected path lengths are in multiple integers of direct path length. This phenomenon is referred to as the acoustical mirror effect and it can be observed in a spectrogram plot. The spectrogram of acoustic measurement for a flying vehicle measurement shows several orders of destructive interference curves. The first or second order of curve is used to find the best approximate path by using nonlinear least-square method. Simulated acoustic signal is generated for the condition of known geometric of a sensor and a source in flight. The estimation based on cepstrogram analysis provides more accurate estimate than spectrogram.

본 논문은 최대우도추정(Maximum Likelihood Estimation, MLE)을 적용한 선택적 합성법(Selective Combining, SC)의 수중 주파수 다이버시티 통신성능을 평가하였다. 수중 다중경로 주파수 선택적 채널에서 수신 신호의 지연확산에 따른 상쇄 간섭 페이딩(destructive interference fading)은 수중 음향 통신 시스템의 오류 증가와 신호대잡음비(Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR)변동성에 영향을 준다. SC의 결정 값 추출을 위한 MLE 적용 해상실험에서 SC 주파수 다이버시티와 MLE-SC 주파수 다이버시티 성능을 평가하였다. SC보다 MLE-SC를 통해 추출한 결정 값을 적용한 경우 상대적으로 낮은 BER(Bit Error Rate) 특성을 확인하였다.
