We have been building a text-independent speaker recognition system that is robust to unknown channel and noise environments. In this paper, we propose a linear transformation to obtain robust features. The transformation is optimized to maximize the distances between the Gaussian mixtures. We use rotation of the axes, to cope with the problem of scaling the transformation matrix. The proposed transformation is similar to PCA or LDA, but can achieve better result in some special cases where PCA and LDA can not work properly. We use YOHO database to evaluate the proposed method and compare the result with PCA and LDA. The results show that the proposed method outperforms all the baseline, PCA and LDA.

In this paper, we propose a method combining an accelerometer with a cross structured light system to estimate the golf green slope. The cross-line laser provides two laser planes whose functions are computed with respect to the camera coordinate frame using a least square optimization. By capturing the projections of the cross-line laser on the golf slope in a static pose using a camera, two 3D curves’ functions are approximated as high order polynomials corresponding to the camera coordinate frame. Curves’ functions are then expressed in the world coordinate frame utilizing a rotation matrix that is estimated based on the accelerometer’s output. The curves provide some important information of the green such as the height and the slope’s angle. The curves estimation accuracy is verified via some experiments which use OptiTrack camera system as a ground-truth reference.

A wheel dynamometer was installed between the rim and axle hub to measure the forces and moments applied to a vehicle. The wheel dynamometer was composed of sensing and signal processing components. Because the sensing component contained a complex structure to sense the six components of the forces and moments and the wheel rotated along with the vehicle movement, sophisticated signal processing hardware and a software algorithm were used. The strains and the calibration matrices of the wheel dynamometer along the wheel rotation angle were investigated using FEM. From the analysis, the calibration matrices were simplified using a spline interpolation. Based upon these results, the signal processing component could be effectively designed and the firmware software could be simplified.

In this paper, robot endeffector tracking using sensory information from structured laser pattern diode, is described. In order to track robot endeffector robustly irrespective of translation, scaling and rotation of robot working tool, structured laser pattern is used as track feature. Structured laser patterns of crosshair, concentric circles, dot matrix, and parallel lines are illuminated to robot endeffector. Illuminated laser patterns are held invariently and coherently irrespective of various motions of robot endeffector. Extracting and tracking these invariant structured laser patterns as track feature, the whole system keeps tracking of the robot endeffector robustly and effectively provided that structured laser pattern is always assumed to aim at robot endeffector.

This paper presents a new method which is calculated to use only three vanishing points in order to compute the dimensions of object and its pose from a single image of perspective projection taken by a camera and the problem of recovering 3D models from three vanishing points of box scene. Our approach is to compute only three vanishing points without this information such as the focal length, rotation matrix, and translation from images in the case of perspective projection. We assume that the object can be modeled as a linear function of a dimension vector ν. The input of reconstruction is a set of correspondences between features in the model and features in the image. To minimize each the dimensions of the parameterized models, this reconstruction of optimization can be solved by the standard nonlinear optimization techniques with a multi-start method which generates multiple starting points for the optimizer by sampling the parameter space uniformly.

CD-ROM drive is improved in rotation speed up to 10,000 rpm. But Vibration and Noise are also increased simultaneously more and more. So many attempts are tried to reduce the unexpected effects. Most attempts are not enough to cover the increasement of Noise and Vibration. Merely availed tries are accumulated in many part and it makes the structure complicated. The Axiomatic approach could arrange the order of design and estimate the optimum design in good oder. In Axiomatic Approach, the composition is divided by Customer Requirement, Functional Requirement, Design Parameter and Design Matrix in large portion. This method also could show more effective way to design before making a prototype.

This paper presents an attitude determination algorithm for the local level strapdown inertial navigation where the body the earth and the transport rate can be calculated separately using a DCM computation scheme, Also presented is a velocity determination algorithm taking into account the attitude variation caused by he change of the navigation frame. The proposed algorithm are implemented using three samples of the velocity and the angle within the integration interval.

A simple and efficient method is presented for the dynamics of interconnected flexible beams having large rigid body rotations. A simple mass matrix is obtained by interpolating the displacements in the global inertia frame, and the elastic force is also simply computed by using linear finite element technique with the moving frame attached to the beam. For the beams connected by revolute joints, kinematic constraints and relative rotations between the beans are not required and the equations of motions are time integrated by a simple ODE technique. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the present technique.

This paper deals with frequency analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams carrying an arbitrary number of Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic dampers, subjected to harmonic loads. Multiple external/internal dampers occurring at the same position along the beam axis, modeling external damping devices and internal damping due to damage or imperfect connections, are considered. The challenge is to handle simultaneous discontinuities of the response, in particular bending-moment/rotation discontinuities at the location of external/internal rotational dampers, shear-force/deflection discontinuities at the location of external/internal translational dampers. Following a generalized function approach, the paper will show that exact closed-form expressions of the frequency response under point/polynomial loads can readily be derived, for any number of dampers. Also, the exact dynamic stiffness matrix and load vector of the beam will be built in a closed analytical form, to be used in a standard assemblage procedure for exact frequency response analysis of frames.

Among the many techniques available to synthesis metal matrix composites, liquid phase processing, especially, conventional casting process such as stir-casting process is particularly attractive for their simplicity, economy and flexibility, In the present study, A356/20%SiCp composites were fabricated by gas-particle co-injection method. The gas-particle co-injection method is a modified stir-casting method and the corporation of particle could be improved by acceleration of particles due to rotation of impeller and gas purging. The microstructures and mechanical properties such as tensile properties and resistance to wear of fabricated materials were examined. Further, the particle injection mechanism in gas-particle co-injection method was discussed.
