In this paper, an algorithm for suppressing acoustic noises contained in stethoscope sound is proposed and implemented in real-time using an embedded DSP system. Sound collected by stethoscope is down-sampled and band-pass filtered, and later an NLMS adaptive filter is used to cancel the acoustic noise induced from external noise sources. Also, the unpredictable impulsive noises due to fabric friction and instantaneous tapping are detected using the SD-ROM algorithm, and suppressed using an algorithm approximating the morphology filter. The proposed algorithm was tested using signals collected with a digital stethoscope mockup, and implemented on an ARM920T-based DSP system.

Active noise control(ANC) requires the full capability of a modern digital signal processing module. This paper describes the digital signal processing unit which is designed for ANC of noise fields in passenger car. System hardware is designed to allow software controlled versatility as well as fully qutomatic operation. The developed system is provided with the ability to be self-operated except the case of upload/download of data and program between the personal computer and the system memory. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate ANC performance of noise fields in lightly damped enclosure and passenger car.

There is a merit a planetary gear set disperses a delivery load, and to decrease loss of friction and noise. But, in addition to meshing this internal and external gear simultaneously and phase difference by the tooth contact point and the time difference occurs asymmetric and symmetric sideband noise and vibration caused by the modulation in the vehicle. Existing planetary gear set research have progressed to reduce the cause of the sideband as run-out, pitch error and imbalance. In this paper presents a method for the design of the carrier phase difference by developing various theorys and experiments for gear noise.

The aim of this study is to establish the indoor noise limits of apartment houses for mad traffic noise. To achieve this goal, psycho-acoustic experiments were carried out with the mad traffic sound sources modulated by the transmission loss characteristics of the external windows. As a result of this study, followings are suggested. 1) On correlation between dose level and psycho-acoustical response, the initial level of negative feeling is located on $40.1{\sim}40.6$ Leq dB(A). 2) On the degree of satisfaction to road traffic noise, near 35% Point being same dissatisfaction degree is to be assumed $40{\sim}41$ dB(A) of indoor noise level presented into three vocabulary. It is suggested to be reasonable level of 40 dB(A) on the indoor noise limits for intruding road traffic noise, and it is appropriate to be the 5dB level difference between grades.

PD(Partial Discharge) signal have the range from several kHz to several GHz. External noises don't give any interference to discerning PD signals with high frequency bandwidth between several hundreds MHz to several GHz but, in the range between several decades kHz to several MHz, are big obstacles to prevent from discriminating PD signals. Therefore, selecting appropriate filter to decrease the influence of noise is important problem. PD signals have the characteristics both short duration and non-continuous pulse train. For separating PD signals from External noises, some different filtering methods different from conventional ones are needed and wavelet filtering method was convinced to be suitable filtering method in various investigations. This paper has simulated PD signal and various noises and investigated the influences for the performance of wavelet filter by varying the components relative to designing of wavelet filter and constructed suitable one. For the purpose of convincing the performance of wavelet filter, real PDs were produced in needle to plane electrode structure. This small PD signal was mixed with external noises and filtered with wavelet filter. We have obtained apparent PD signals and noises are well suppressed by wavelet filter.

In this study, the natural frequencies and mode shape of an external mounting pod were verified using the modal analysis and modal testing technique for a pod mounted on an aircraft. The procedure associated with the FE model building of an external mounted pod to predict the dynamic behavior of aircraft structures is described. The simplified FE model reflecting the results of the modal testing of a pod is built through the optimization and will be applied to the structural dynamic model of an aircraft which is used to verified the stability of vibration and flutter of an aircraft.

In this paper, possibility of controlling motion of a floating structure using a tuned liquid damper (TLD) is numerically investigated. A TLD is a tank partially filled with liquid. Sloshing motion of liquid inside a tank is known to suppress movement of the tank subject to external excitations at specific frequency. The effects of sloshing phenomena inside a rectangular floating body on its surge motion are investigated by varying external excitation frequency. First, a grid-refinement study is carried out to ensure validity of grid independent numerical solutions using present numerical techniques. Then, surge motion of the floating body subjected to external wave is simulated for five different excitation frequencies of which the center frequency equals to the natural frequency of internal liquid sloshing. The normalized amplitudes of surge motion of the target floating body are compared according to the excitation frequency, for the cases with and without water inside the floating body. It is shown that the motion of the floating body can be minimized by matching the sloshing natural frequency to the excitation frequency.

This paper represents an identification procedure for leading mechanism of a car A/V system which is composed of a DC motor and a set of plastic gears. In addition, we studied dominant noise source of rattle noise generated by external forced vibration as a car drives. we made a dynamometer to produce stationary operation on loading mechanism of A/V system because noise generated by actual loading mechanism is non-stationary signal. operating the dynamometer setup at various motor speeds, sound pressure spectra are measured and the results are analyzed. its dominant noise source is also identified by using a sound Intensity technique. we made use of multi-dimensional spectral analysis to rind a dominant rattle noise. this method is so useful to eliminate coherence between vibration sources and helps us obtain coherent output spectrum of individual vibration source which make a rattle noise.

This paper addresses a systematic way of understanding the transfer characteristics of whole-body vibration due to the external excitation. Amirouche's and Tamaoki's models are considered, whose analysis shows a new result that resonant frequencies related to the head vibration are well coincided with those of the body. This point reveals that the improvement of the ride quality of passenger cars can be achieved by isolating only external vibration components transfered to the body. Finally, this paper points out the limitation of previous whole-body vibration models, which gives the motivations of setting up more 'practical and generalized' whole-body vibration models of interests in this study.

To detect external acoustic signal, fiber optic sensor array using Fabry-Perot interferometer which had benefit of minimize and light-weight was used. The sensor head has 1cm in length, total length of fiber is 9.5cm, and the sensor supported at both ends, simply. External sound applied in lateral direction and detected two signals were compared each other. It was confirmed that the Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor array detected acoustic signal, effectively.
