This paper reports a means of improving the abnormal noise of light tactical vehicles (LTVs) by applying a vehicle fitting type generator (hereinafter called generator). LTVs are classified as having generators, and there are no differences in the noise level. On the other hand, quality improvement was performed in response to unpleasant noise felt by the user (hereinafter called abnormal noise) during vehicle operation. To improve the quality, the generator mounting structure and the phenomenon of the vehicle in the problem were identified. Through this, it was confirmed that the noise caused by the generator installation was the rattle noise. Rattle noise at the engine driving system is normally caused by the transfer of irregular torque generated by the engine power stroke and the backlash by the spline-serration fitting structure between the engine coupler and rotor assembly in a generator. Therefore, this study established an improvement plan to apply a damper coupler to solve the cause of the abnormal noise. Regarding the improved establishment method, the improvement effect was confirmed from the influence of the irregular torque of the engine, noise level, dynamic characteristics analysis, and the endurance test of the parts.

Objectives : This study was conducted to integrate the results of studies assessing the association between chronic noise exposure and blood pressure. Methods : Using a MEDLINE search with noise exposure, blood pressure and hypertension as key words, we retrieved articles from the literature that were published from 1980 to December 1999. The criteria for quality evaluation were as follows: 1) the study subjects must have been workers employed at a high noise level area 2) The paper should use average and cumulative noise exposure as method for exposure evaluation. 3) Blood pressure in each article should be reported in a continuous scale Among the 77 retrieved articles, six studies were selected for quantitative meta-analysis. Before the integration of the regression coefficients for the association between blood pressure and noise level, homogeneity tests were conducted. Results : All studies were a cross-sectional design and the study subjects were industrial workers. Five papers used a time-weighted average for noise exposure and only one paper calculated the cumulative noise exposure level. The measurement of blood pressure in the majority of studios were accomplished in a resting stale, and used an average of two or more readings. The homogeneity of studies was rejected in a fixed effect model, so we used the results in a random effect model. The results of the quantitative meta-analysis, the weighted regression coefficient of noise associated with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were 0.05 (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.03, 0.13) and 0.06 (95% CI: -0.01, 0.13), respectively. Conclusions : Our results suggested that chronic exposure to industrial noise does not cause elevated blood pressure.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a empirical study of using Taguchi Method for the Entrepreneurial Orientation and Financial Performance. In this study, three factors of Entrepreneurial Orientation, innovation, pro-activity and risk taking, are used of the control factors and an element, period of establishment, is chosen as a noise factor. In order to carry out this research, we obtained 200 survey sheets and performed the reliability and validity analysis of the questionnaires and then the experiment was conducted by Taguchi's experimental design. To improve Financial Performance under the noise factor of period of establishment, optimal condition are as follows; the two factors of Entrepreneurial Orientation, innovation, pro-activity should be maintained to a high level. Also, other factor, risk taking should be performed as the level that the company has maintained. Through this paper, we find out that Taguchi method is applicable for analysis of questionnaire.

배전 계통 산업 현장에서는 스위칭 소자 및 제어장치, 전 자기기들이 한 대 맞물려 증가하고 있다. 또한, 스마트 그리드(Smart Grid) 및 마이크로 그리드(Micro Grid)의 개념이 도입되면서 분산 전원 이 널리 보급되고 있다. 이로 인해 현장에서는 많은 전기전자기기들이 설치되어 운영 중에 있고, 이것은 noise 및 고조파와 같은 왜란이 발생 되는 원인을 초래하고 있다. 왜란은 여러 전기 전자 장비들의 데이터 취득 왜곡 현상을 발생시키고, 이러한 데이터 손실로 인해 기기들의 오동작 및 사고를 발생시킨다. 대표적인 왜란으로는 common mode noise 같은 대지(大地) 등의 기준점과 각 신호선 사이에 나타나는 노이즈가 있으며, 선로 및 장비 특성에 따라 기수 및 우수 고조파가 있다. 이러한 왜란들은 전자기기들의 오동작 및 신호의 부 정확성으로 제품 신뢰성에 문제를 초래한다. 특히 데이터 계측 실패 및 Serial 통신을 함에 있어서 신호 손실을 발생시켜 데이터 변형을 초래한다. 이로 인해 배전선로에 위치한 전자기기들이 왜곡된 데이터로 동작을 하게 되고 이는 곧 선로의 사고를 발생시키게 된다. 따라서 왜란들을 사전에 방지하여 기기 오동작 및 부동작을 예방하기 위해서 산업계에서는 왜란에 대한 인식을 지속적으로 증가시키고 있다. 실제 현장에서도 이와 같은 왜란으로 인해 기기 오동작을 하는 경우가 많으며 이를 해결하기 위한 여러 신호처리 기법을 적용하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 여러 종류의 샘플링 데이터 량을 생성할 수 있도록 샘플링 속도를 다변환(Multi-interchange)하고 각 샘플링 속도에 맞게 계측된 샘플링 데이터를 DFT 신호 처리하여 왜란으로부터 강건한 계통 주파수를 계측한다. 또한, 주파수 별 DFT 값을 Table화 하여 계통 주파수를 찾아낸다.

The horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) analysis is conducted to estimate the site amplification effect and the thickness of the sedimentary layer beneath the measurement site. We investigated the effects of meteorological variations (wind and precipitation rate) and sensor burial depths on HVSR analysis. The HVSR results were unstable when seismographs were exposed on the ground. The HVSR results of ambient noise data measured under strong winds were also unstable. It is recommended to measure the ambient noise at wind speeds of <3 m s-1. Stable HVSR results were obtained when seismographs were buried, regardless of the precipitation rates. The results of this study provide the best observations and optimal weather conditions required to acquire accurate and reliable HVSR results.

Objectives: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of noise exposure and aging on changes in hearing threshold level and the relationship between age and noise. Materials: The author selected 274 male shipyard and assembly line workers as the noise exposed group and 582 males not exposed to noise as the general population group. Data were collected from five years of consecutive annual audiometric tests performed from 2008 to 2012. Results: In the general population and noise exposed groups, there was a reverse phenomenon that hearing threshold level for 2009 was lower than that of 2008, which seemed to be due to the learning effect, but from 2010 hearing threshold level increased. In the noise exposed group, the mean hearing threshold level in the left ear was significantly higher than that for right ear. In the general population group, the older was the age, the higher was the hearing threshold level, especially at 4000 Hz. In the general population and noise exposed groups, frequency, age group and noise exposure independently affected hearing threshold level, and there was no relationship between age and noise exposure. Over all frequencies, the change of hearing threshold level was larger in the noise exposed group than in the general population group. In the noise exposed group below thirty years old, the change at 4000 Hz was remarkable. Conclusions: Age and noise exposure seem to affect hearing threshold level independently and contribute to an additive effect on hearing threshold level.
