Noise induced hearing loss (NIHS), the well-known occupational disease, is caused by continuous excessive noise. The prevention of NIHS is very important, because it is unrecoverable. There are some kinds of hearing protection device (HPD), and those are effective in preventing NIHS. But workers in noisy environment often resist to wearing them. Because they are ready - made products, so workers feel uncomfortable to wear. Also, they didn't maintain the conversation frequency range, so workers are hard to communicate in wearing them. To prevent hearing loss effectively, it is important that workers keep wearing HPD. Therefore, a HPD is needed to be comfortable to wear and be effective not only in hearing protection but also in preserving communication ability. So we proposed a custom - made hearing protection device in which a small acoustic filter is inserted. We designed several kinds of small acoustic filters and carried out some acoustic experiments for measuring characteristics of filters. We confirmed that acoustic transmission characteristic can be adjusted from experimental results using designed small acoustic filters. And we researched for the actual efficiency of a new developed custom - made hearing protection device using a small size acoustic filter. Also, we found out that workers are more satisfied with the new development than a former protection device from a workers' response.

The purpose of this study is to set up an acoustic prediction technique and to perform the IL test of scale down noise reducing device for the development of the noise reducing device as the development of 400km/h class high speed train. First of all, the IL prediction of noise reducing device was performed with the 2D BEM method. And the noise test of scale down noise reducing device in anechoic chamber was performed for the verification of acoustic prediction technique and IL performance evaluation. As the results, the acoustic prediction technique for the development of noise reducing device was verified because the averaged IL difference between prediction and test is in 2dB(A). And the measured IL value of noise reducing device is less than 2dB(A), and additional IL with polyester absorption material is increased about 0.5dB(A).

Cellulose based Electroactive Paper (EAPap) has been developed as a new smart material due to its advantages of piezoelectricity, large displacement, low power consumption, low cost and flexibility. EAPap can be used fur a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device using the piezoelectric property of EAPap, resulting in the cost effective and flexible SAW device. In this paper, inter digit transducer (IDT) structure using lift-off technique with a finger gap of $10{\mu}m$ was used for micro fabrication of the cellulose EAPap SAW devices. The performance of IDT patterned SAW device was characterized by a Network Analyzer. The feasibility of cellulose EAPap as a potential acoustic device was presented and explained.

In this paper, we report a high-precision wireless gap sensor based on a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device. The sensing element is a parallel-plate capacitor whose dimensions are $3{\times}3\;mm^2$, and is attached to the SAW device as an external load. The SAW device, equipped with an RF antenna, serves simultaneously as a signal conditioner and an RF transponder. The center frequency of the SAW device is 450 MHz. The wireless gap sensor prototype exhibits a resolution of 100 nm and a sensing range of $50{\mu}m$. The proposed sensor system can be used for remote, high-precision gap measurement in hard-to-reach environments.

Noise barrier is generally used with welding of joint rail for railway noise reduction in our country. But the noise barrier for high speed railway has weak point in low frequencies about 315Hz band. In this study, For developing of Interference-type Noise Reduction Device(INRD), acoustic analysis were performed using commercial software. For verifying the improvement in the noise reduction, noise measurement before and after installing of INRD were performed in Anechoic Chamber. From these acoustic analysis and noise measurement, it was known that developed INRD has a good noise reduction performance and can be used efficiently with conventional noise barrier.

Background and Objectives : Acoustic analysis of voice could be influenced so much by the quality of voice files which were recorded by recording device. In clinical practice, voice files that were recorded by analysis program directly or portable digital recording device were analyzed mostly. This study examined the feasibility of using Galaxy smartphone recordings for acoustic analysis of voice. Materials and Methods : Acoustic measures were compared between voice signals recorded from 30 normal speakers (15 males and 15 females) through Galaxy smartphone, portable digital recording device and CSL. Fo, jitter, shimmer, NHR (Noise-Harmony ratio) and Formant frequencies were analyzed by MDVP. Results : Fo, Jitter, Shimmer, NHR and formant frequencies from 3 devices were no significantly difference. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was higher between each of the voice perturbation measures. Conclusion : The findings indicated that Galaxy smartphone recording system was useful device for acoustic analysis of voice. Furthermore, Galaxy smartphone can be applied widely in various way for acoustic analysis of voice.

액체 로켓엔진에서의 고주파 연소불안정 제어를 위한 수동 안정화 제어 기구로 음향공을 적용하여 감쇠 효과의 적합성을 검증하였다. 음향공의 기하학적 형상에 따른 음향 감쇠 효과를 비교하기 위하여, 주요 설계 변수를 변화시킨 음향공 모델에 대해 유해 공진주파수 감쇠 효과를 정량적으로 비교, 분석하였다. 선형음향해석과 실험적 방법 모두 만족할만한 일치성을 나타내었으며, 오리피스 입구 면적이 가장 크거나 오리피스 길이가 가장 짧은 경우에서 감쇠 효과가 가장 크게 나타났다. 결론적으로 음향공을 이용한 최적의 음향공 제어를 위해서는 음향공 부피를 고려한 최적기 음향공 설계가 절대적으로 필요함을 입증한다.
