  • In the area of the speech synthesis techniques, the waveform coding methods maintain the intelligibility and naturalness of synthetic speech. In order to apply the waveform coding techniques to synthesis by rule, we must be able to alter the pitches of synthetic speech. In this paper, we propose a new pitch altering method that compensates phase distortion of the cepstral pitch alteration method with time scaling method in the time domain. This method can remove some spectrum distortion which is occurred in conjunction point between the waveforms. For performance test the spectrum distortion rate was used as objective criterion and the MOS(Mean Opinion Score) was used as subjective criterion. As a result, the spectrum distortion and MOS are obtained by 0.66% and 3.9, respectively.

  • In this study, smoke movement in tunnel fires was investigated with various aspect ratio(0.5, 0.667, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) of tunnel cross section. Reduced-scale experiments were carried out under the Froude scaling using 8.27 kW ethanol pool fire. Temperatures were measured under the ceiling and vertical direction along the center of the tunnel. Smoke front velocity and temperature decrease rate were reduced as higher aspect ratio of the tunnel cross-section. Smoke movement was evaluated by analysis of vertical temperature distribution 3 m downstream from the fire source. Elevation of smoke interface according to N percent rule was under about 60% of tunnel height.

  • We have performed ab initio pseudopotential electronic structure calculations for various edge geometries of the (n,n) singlewall nanotube with on without applied fields. Among the systems studied, the one with the zigzag edge exposed by a slant out is found to be the most favorable for the emission due to the existence of unpaired dangling bond states around the Fermi level. The next favorable geometry is the capped nanotube where ${\pi}-bonding$ states localized at the cap and pointing to We tube axis direction occur at the Fermi level. A scaling rule of the induced field linean in the aspect ratio of the tube is also obtained.

  • This paper proposes the systematic auto-tuning method for fuzzy controller using genetic algorithm(GA). In general, the design of fuzzy logic controller has difficulties in the acquisition of expert's knowledge and relies to a great extent on heuristic knowledge which, in many cases, cannot be objectively justified. So, the performance of the controller can be degraded in the case of plant parameter variations or unpredictable incident which the designer may have ignored. Proposed genetic algorithm searches the optimal rule structure, parameters of membership functions and scaling factors simultaneously and automatically by a new genetic coding format. Inverted pendrum system is provided to show the advantages of the proposed method.

  • 실리콘 기반의 반도체 산업은 Moore Rule에 따른 집적도 향상에 힘입어 눈부시게 발전해 왔다. 그러나, 최근 최소 선 폭 수준이 10nm에 다다르면서 공정의 난이도는 한계에 다다랐으며, 한계를 극복하기 위해서는 폭발적인 비용 투입만으로도 확신할 수 없기 때문에 선 폭 미세화 (Scaling Down)를 통한 집적도 향상은 더 이상 비용/성능 측면에 효율적이지 못하다. 이러한 상황으로 인해 반도체 업체들은 한계를 극복하기 위한 여러 가지 방법을 강구하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 (개발 난이도 증가, 소형화, 경량화, 고집적화에 대한 고객 요구 증대) 한계를 해결하기 위하여, 크게 3가지 관점에서 지속적으로 연구가 이루어 지고 있다. 여기서는 현재 가장 활발한 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 가장 대응이 용이한 PKG 신기술 개발에 대하여 다루고자 한다.

  • This research is progressed on the premise that there is a basic rule to organize a space in form generation process. In this study first, antecedent researches are inquired, and formal vocabularies related with form generation in space design are founded. Generally in the organizing process of spatial form designer could have selectively combined formal vocabularies consciously or unconsciously, and these formal vocabularies related with form generation are classified with 'formal elements' and 'spatial relationships'. First, as formal elements '2-dimensional line elements(rectilinear, oblique-linear, curvilinear)' are chosen. Second, formal vocabularies of 'spatial relationships' are 37 extracted from literatures related with architectural language or spatial language. Among them there are several vocabularies with similar or same meaning, they are unitized to representative one. Thereupon 20 vocabularies are finally selected as the formal vocabularies of 'spatial relationships', they are addition, subtraction, intersection, superimposition, juxtaposition, shifting, rotation, reflection, scaling, stretching, shear, bending, folding, distortion, articulation, deconstruction, symmetry, repetition, proportion, and asymmetry.

  • In this paper, a novel speed control system that implements the fuzzy logic controller(FLC) is proposed. Fuzzy controller is shown more excellent efficency than a conventional controllers in the strength aspect and non-linear controller using IF-THEN rule which can control without process the accurate mathematical modeling about induction motor. But we cannot expect that conventional fuzzy controller divide equally the space of input and output parameter and use the certain shape of triangle membership function. Therefore to develop the efficiency of conventional fuzzy controller, We need to scale the range of membership functions. In this study, proposed fuzzy controller has the ability controlling scale of membership functions using by output scaling factor.

  • We have performed ab initio pseudopotential electronic structure calculations for various edge geometries of the (n,n) singlewall nanotube with or without applied fields. Among the systems studied, the one with the zigzag edge exposed by a slant cut is found to be the most favorable for the emission due to the existence of unpaired dangling bond states around the Fermi level. The next favorable geometry is the capped nanotube where $\pi$-bonding states localized at the cap and pointing to the tube axis direction occur at the Fermi level. A scaling rule of the induced field linear in the aspect ratio of the tube is also obtained.

  • Systematic distortions in perceived 3-D shape were obtained for elliptical and parabolic stereoscopic surfaces viewed at different distances under full and reduced cue conditions. In both conditions of Experiments 1 and 3, elliptical hemi-cylinders a appeared near veridical at the 45 cm viewing distances and flattened up to 74% of veridical at 135 cm. In Experiment 2, under full cue conditions, parabolic hemi-cylinders a appeared stretched to 118% of veridical at 45 cm, near veridical at 90 cm, and flattened to 85% of veridical at 135 cm. Under reduced cue conditions parabolas appeared flatter overall: veridical curvature was obtained at 45 cm viewing distance with flatness increasing to 68% of veridical at 135 cm. Results support a scaling explanation of perceived 3-D shape from disparity and rule out the alternative hypothesis that disparity curvature, an optical invariant, provides information for the direct perception of 3-D s shape.

Also, we can obtain little magnitude spectrum distortion below 1.18% for pitch alteration of 200%.
