A variety of methods for sound source localization have been developed and applied to several applications such as noise detection system, surveillance system, teleconference system, robot auditory system and so on. In the previous work, we proposed the sound source localization using the spatially mapped GCC functions based on TDOA for robot auditory system. Performance of the proposed one for the noise effect and estimation resolution was verified with the real environmental experiment under the single source assumption. However, since multi-talker case is general in human-robot interaction, multiple source localization approaches are necessary. In this paper, the proposed localization method under the single source assumption is modified to be suitable for multiple source localization. When there are two sources which are correlated, the spatially mapped GCC function for localization has three peaks at the real source locations and imaginary source location. However if two sources are uncorrelated, that has only two peaks at the real source positions. Using these characteristics, we modify the proposed localization method for the multiple source cases. Experiments with human speeches in the real environment are carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed method for multiple source localization. In the experiments, mean value of estimation error is about $1.4^{\circ}$ and percentage of multiple source localization is about 62% on average.

This paper presents the novel work for source localization of serial multiple impacts in a plate sructure. It is difficult to identify the source of serial multiple impacts with the current source localization techenology(SLT) because of the overlapping of dispersive wave induced by multiple impacts and the reflaction from the edge of the plate. In this paper, the new method is suggested for source localization. The method is developed based on the SLT with pre-signal processing such as some limitation for the selection of three sensors, the frequency range for TFA and impact time interval. Results from numerical simulation and experiment in isotropic plate structure are presented, which show the capability of the proposed method.

This paper presents novel research into the source localization of multiple impacts. Source localization technology for single impact loads in a plate structure has been used for health monitoring. Most of research on source localization has been focused only on the localization of single impacts. Overlapping of dispersive waves induced by multiple impacts and reflection of those waves from the edge of the plate make it difficult to localize the sources of multiple impacts using traditional source localization technology. The method solving the overlapping problem and the reflection problem is presented in the paper. The suggested method is based on pre-signal processing technology using band pass filter and optimal filter. Results from numerical simulation and from experimentation are presented, and these verify the capability of the proposed method.

본 논문은 양방향 스위치(bidirectional switchs)를 가진 다단계 상호연결망(MIN, Multistage Interconn nection Network)에서 중첩된 목적지 노드로 다중 메시지를 전송할 때 야기되는 스위치간의 블럭킹(blocking) 을 최소화하기 위한 알고리즘을 제시한다. U~MIN(Unicast MIN) 알고리즘[4]에 의해 제시되었던 다중 전송 트리는 하나의 소스 노드로부터 여러 개의 목적지 노드로 메시지를 전송하는 단순한 멀티캐스트를 수행하는 데 있어서는 매우 유용하지만, 다중 멀티캐스트를 수행하는데 있어서는 섬각한 채널 경쟁을 야기한다. 따라서 간접통신망에서 동시에 같은 목적지 노드를 가진 멀티캐스트가 발생했을 때 기존의 U-MIN 알고리즘에서 발생하는 심각한 채널 경쟁을 최소화하기 위한 방법으로 본 논문에서는 SPU-MIN(Source Partitioned U Unicast MIN) 알고리즘에 의한 새로운 멀티캐스트 트리를 제시한다 본 논문에서의 메시지 전송 방법은 웹흘 라우팅 기법에 기반한 반전(turnaround) 라우팅 알고리즘을 이용한다.

Many studies have been investigated on high density plasma source (Electron Cyclotron Resonance[ECR], Inductively Coupled Plasma[ICP], Helicon plasma) for large area source after It is announced that productivity of plasma process depends on plasma density. Among them, Some researchers have been studied on multiple sources In this study, we attempted to determine the possibility of multiple inductively coupled plasma (ICP), and helicon plasma sources for large-area processes. Experiments were performed with the one and two coils to measure plasma and electrical parameters, and a circuit simulation was performed to measure the current at each coil in the 2-coil experiment. Based on the result, we could determine the possibility of multiple ICP sources due to a direct change of impedance due to current and saturation of impedance due to the skin-depth effect. However, a helicon plasma source is difficult to adapt to the multiple sources due to the consistent change of real impedance due to mode transition and the low uniformity of the B-field confinement. As a result, it is expected that ICP can be adapted to multiple source for large-area processes.

Power packet (PP) distribution system distributes power to different loads that share the same distribution cable in a packetized form. When compared with conventional power systems, a PP distribution system (PPDS) can reduce standby power, eliminate Point-of-Load (PoL) power conversion, and intelligently control the load demand from the source side. Due to the absence of PoL conversion, when multiple power sources at different voltage levels and conditioning requirements jointly send power to various loads at different voltage ratings, the generated voltage has an irregular shape. A large filter at each of the load sides is required to reduce such a large voltage ripple. In this paper, a single-inductor, multiple-input-single-output converter structure based multiple-energy-source mixer is proposed. It combines PP generation, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of renewable energy sources (RESs) and filtering at the source side. To demonstrate the possible renewable energy integration, a PV panel is used as a power source together with other constant voltage sources. The PV power is approximately tracked using the constant voltage method and it is used for each of the PP generations. The proposed PP distribution system is experimentally verified and it is shown that a conventional PI controller is sufficient for stable system operation.

In this Paper, we analyzed the relative importance of multiple sources and their effects on innovative activities. Through factor analysis, we found 5 sources of innovative activities; university/laboratory source, within firm source, general information source, vertical/competitive relation source, and horizontal relation source. Through regression analysis, we found that (1) 'within firm source' is the most important source on innovative activities, (2) from inputs' point of view, the more 'vertical/competitive relation source' is, the less innovative activities we, (3) from outputs' point of view, innovations are more activated when 'university/laboratory source' is abundant. but, they are less activated when 'general information source' and 'vertical/competitive relation source' is abundant, and (4) according to firm size and innovation stages(newproduct innovation, upgraded product innovation, and process innovation), the effect of sources on innovative activities is different.

Multiple Description Coding(MDC) is a technique used to obtain two or more (often correlated) descriptions of a source, which are transmitted over different channels to receiver. Two descriptions of the source support two levels of reconstruction quality. When all the descriptions are received and used in the reconstruction, the source should be reconstructed with acceptable quality. In this work, we consider Multiple Description Scalar Quantizer(MDSQ) to wavelet transform domain. Conventional MDSQ schemes in wavelet domain considered description with equal weights at each sub-bands after quantization. But each sub-bands is unequal contribution to whole image quality. Therefore, we experiment the multiple description with unequal weight in each sub-bands.

Indoor air quality can be affected by indoor sources, ventilation, decay and outdoor levels. Although technologies exist to measure these factors, direct measurements are often difficult. The purpose of this study was to develop an alternative method to characterize indoor environmental factors by multiple indoor and outdoor measurements. Daily indoor and outdoor $NO_2$ concentrations were measured for 30 consecutive days in 28 houses in Brisbane, Australia, and for 21 consecutive days in 37 houses in Seoul, Korea. Using a mass balance model and regression analysis, penetration factor (ventilation rate divided by the sum of ventilation rate and deposition constant) and source strength factor (source strength divided by the sum of ventilation rate and deposition constant) were calculated using multiple indoor and outdoor measurements. Subsequently, the ventilation rate and $NO_2$ source strength were estimated. Geometric means of ventilation rate were 1.44 ACH in Brisbane, assuming a residential $NO_2$ deposition constant of 1.05 $hr^{-1}$, and 1.36 ACH in Seoul, with the measured residential $NO_2$ deposition constant of 0.94 $hr^{-1}$. Source strengths of $NO_2$ were 15.8 $\pm$ 18.2 ${\mu}g$/$m^3$.hr and 44.7 $\pm$ 38.1${\mu}g$/$m^3$.hr in Brisbane and Seoul, respectively. In conclusion, indoor environmental factors were effectively characterized by this method using multiple indoor and outdoor measurements.
