We present a speech processing strategy incorporating instantaneous frequency (IF) encoding for the enhancement of melody recognition performance of cochlear implants. For the IF extraction from incoming sound, we propose the use of a Teager energy operator (TEO), which is advantageous for its lower computational load. From time-frequency analysis, we verified that the TEO-based method provides proper IF encoding of input sound, which is crucial for melody recognition. Similar benefit could be obtained also from the use of a Hilbert transform (HT), but much higher computational cost was required. The melody recognition performance of the proposed speech processing strategy was compared with those of a conventional strategy using envelope extraction, and the HT-based IF encoding. Hearing tests on normal subjects were performed using acoustic simulation and a musical contour identification task. Insignificant difference in melody recognition performance was observed between the TEO-based and HT-based IF encodings, and both were superior to the conventional strategy. However, the TEO-based strategy was advantageous considering that it was approximately 35% faster than the HT-based strategy.

A new blank design method is proposed to predict the optimum initial blank shape in the sheet metal forming process. The rollback method for blank shape design takes the difference between final deformed shape and target contour shape into account. Based on the method, a computer program composed of blank design module, FE-analysis program and mesh generation module is developed. The rollback method is applied to square cup drawing process with the flange of unifiorm size around its periphery to confirm its validity. The optimum initial blank shape is obtained from an arbitrary square blank after three modifications. Good agreements are recognized between the numerical results and the published results for initial blank shape and thickness strain distribution. The optimum blank shape for two parts of automobile sub-frame is designed. The thickness distribution and the level of punch load is improved. Also, the method is applied to design the weld line in the tailor-welded blank. It is concluded that the rollback method is an effective and convenient method for an optimum blank shape design.

In our study, the PTFE nozzle ablation in the high-voltage self-blast type $SF_6$ gas circuit breaker was investigated. The test circuit breaker has the structure that the pin electrode is moving and the pressure reservoir volume and the dimension is almost same as commercial 145kv 40kA circuit breaker for similar result in real circuit breaker. The variation of current and arcing time was the range of $36kA_{rms}$(symmetry) - $40kA_{rms}$(asymmetry) and 10-16 ms. From the measured data the tendecy of the mass loss of the nozzle to current load and arc energy was estimated. In this process, the distance from the arc to nozzle(PTFE) surface, area which was exposed to arc and stroke contour was considered. These results will be used to enhance the accuracy of the computational fluid dynamics analysis in circuit breaker and estimate the residual life time of a circuit breaker.

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a method used to measure the displacement and strain of structures. It involves transforming and analyzing images before and after deformation using correlation coefficients from irregular light and shade on the surface of structures. In the present study, a microspeckle pattern was applied to the surface of a specimen to identify initial cracking. The test specimen constituted CFRP composites laminated on a curved Al liner The specimen was manufactured by stacking 100 ply of CFRP prepregs in the 0° and 90° directions in a three-point bending test. The equivalent strain was evaluated through DIC analysis after monitoring deformation using a CCD camera. Fracture shape was observed using a microscope. The equivalent strain contour distribution was checked until the maximum load fracture occurred at the center of the test specimen. Variations in the strain indicated the initial occurrence and progression of microcracks. These results can be used to improve the accuracy of detecting micro crack initiation and to achieve structural stability.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the key factors in designing a three-wheeled two-row soybean reaper (riding type) that is suitable for soybean production, and ensure worker safety by proposing optimal work conditions for the prototype of the designed machine in relation to the slope of the road. Methods: A three-wheeled two-row soybean reaper (riding type) was designed and its prototype was fabricated based on the local soybean-production approach. This approach was considered to be closely related to the prototype-designing of the cutter and the wheel driving system of the reaper. Load distribution on the wheels of the prototype, its minimum turning radius, static lateral overturning angle, tilt angle during driving, and The working and rear overturning (back flip) angle were measured. Based on the gathered information, investigations were conducted regarding optimal work conditions for the prototype. The investigations took into account driving stability and worker safety. Results: The minimum ground clearance of the prototype was 0.5 m. The blade height of the prototype was adjusted such that the cutter was operated in line with the height of the ridges. The load distribution on the prototype's wheels was found to be 1 (front wheel: F): 1.35 (rear-left wheel: RL): 1.43 (rear-right wheel: RR). With the ratio of load distribution between the RL and RR wheels being 1: 1.05, the left-to-right lateral loads were found to be well-balanced. The minimum turning radius of the prototype was 2.0 m. Such a small turning radius was considered to be beneficial for cutting work on small-scale fields. The sliding of the prototype started at $25^{\circ}$, and its lateral overturning started at $39.3^{\circ}$. Further, the critical slope angle for the worker to drive the prototype in the direction of the contour line on an incline was found to be $12.8^{\circ}$, and the safe angle of slope for the cutting was measured to be less than $6^{\circ}$. The critical angle of slope that allowed for work was found to be $10^{\circ}$, at which point the prototype would overturn backward when given impact forces of 1,060 N on its front wheel. Conclusions: It was determined that farmers using the prototype would be able to work safely in most soybean production areas, provided that they complied with safe working conditions during driving and cutting.

리니어 모터는 동력전달장치가 필요 없는 직접구동 방식으로 접촉 식의 비선형 효과를 크게 줄일 수 있고 구조 또한 간단하다. 그러나 리니어 모터는 동력전달장치를 제거함으로 인해 파라미터 변화와 외란 등에 둔감한 동력전달장치의 장점을 잃게 되어 모델의 불확실성이나 외란에 민감할 뿐만 아니라 마찰과 리플의 특성에 쉽게 영향을 받는다. 본 논문은 리니어 모터의 두 축을 대상으로 위치제어에 악영향을 주는 대표적인 비선형 함수인 마찰력과 리플력을 추정하여 이를 보상하며 개선된 교차 축 연동제어기를 통해 축 간의 윤곽정밀도를 향상시켰다. 기존의 연구된 제어기들은 위치추종과 윤곽추종을 위해 개별적인 제어기를 설계하였으나 제안된 제어기는 하나의 안정한 제어기로 두 축의 위치정밀도와 윤곽정밀도를 동시에 향상시켰다. 제안된 비선형 적응제어기는 모의실험을 통하여 기존의 제안된 교차 축 연동제어기와 비교검증을 함으로써 제안된 제어시스템의 성능을 검증하였다.

국내 토사 사면 불안정성의 일반적인 형태는 얕은 사면파괴와 토석류로 구분할 수 있다. 일반적으로 이러한 사면파괴는 장기간의 기후변화 영향에 의해 강우강도 및 지속시간에 의존성이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 전국 58개 기상관측소에서 최근 38년간 강우 관측 자료를 정량적(지속 시간별 최대강우강도로 분류)으로 이용하여 강우로 발생하는 자연사면의 안정성과 철도나 고속도로와 같은 수직하중이 재하되고 있는 토목섬유로 보강된 성토사면의 불안정성을 평가하고자 한다. 강우패턴에 따른 무한사면과 토목섬유 보강된 유한사면 안정해석은 1973년부터 2010년까지의 기간을 대략 10년 단위로 나누어 관측소별 지속시간에 따른 최대강우량을 산정하여 수행하였다. 기상관측소에서 최대강우강도를 사용하여 불포화 침투해석을 수행하여, 산사태 위험도를 10년 단위별 4단계에 걸쳐 등고선 지도로 나타내었다. 비록 지반조건을 화강풍화토의 평균적인 강도정수와 일반적인 경사로 일정하게 가정하였지만, 장기간 기상관측자료를 토대로 기후 변화에 따른 사면의 불안정성을 예측할 수 있었으며, 기상변화의 경향을 대비할 수 있는 지반구조물의 적절한 설계도움이 되리라 판단된다.
