The structural responses are often used to identify the structural local damages. However, it is usually difficult to gain the responses of the track, as the sensors cannot be installed on the track directly. The vehicles running on a track excite track vibration and can also serve as response receivers because the vehicle dynamic response contains the vibration information of the track. A damage identification method using the vehicle responses and sensitivity analysis is proposed for the vehicle-track coupling system in this paper. Different from most damage identification methods of vehicle-track coupling system, which require the structural responses, only the vehicle responses are required in the proposed method. The local damages are identified by a sensitivity-based model updating process. In the vehicle-track coupling system, the track is modeled as a discrete point supported Euler-Bernoulli beam, and two vehicle models are proposed to investigate the accuracy and efficiency of damage identification. The measured track irregularity is considered in the calculation of vehicle dynamic responses. The measurement noises are also considered to study their effects to the damage identification results. The identified results demonstrate that the proposed method is capable to identify the local damages of the track accurately in different noise levels with only the vehicle responses.

A large number of parameters have been defined in order to describe and to evaluate the acoustical propeTies in rooms. Reverberation time is an impoTant characteristic of conceT halls, theaters and studios, etc. Over the years, a number of different methods for measuring the reverberation time have been developed, the most common being: the interrupted noise method, the integrated impulse response method, and the method of recording the room response to an impulsive source. However, the reverberation time can be changed by the measurement method, sound source and microphone. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately measure the reverberation time in a room. In this paper, it will be analyzed the interpretation method of the reverberation time and discussed the limitations.

This paper described the method and the result of making a dynamic fiber optic gyrocompass measuring the heading angles of ships by processing the output signal from a constant rotating fiber optic sensor and also showed the measurement to test the performance of our system. Considerig an economical view we designed and ordered a cheap medium grade fiber densors increased not fiber length but the diameter of a fiber sensing loop. The scale factor and noise was 267mV/deg/s and 2 deg/hr/$\sqrt{Hz}(1{\sigma})$, respectively. We made the dynamic fiber optic gyrocompass by this sensor. We measured the heading angles in an arbitrary direction to evaluate the accuracy of our system and the root mean square error was $0.4^\circ$. Moreover, we measured the angles ineach direction of $45^\circ$. successive rotation to know whether this system has distoritions in a specific direction or not and the root mean square error in this case was $0.5^\circ$.

In this paper, a broadband tunable YIG(Yittrium Iron Garnet) oscillator is designed and fabricated. To design an YTO(YIG Tuned Oscillator), a suitable YIG resonator is selected according to the design oscillation range and its equivalent R, L, C resonant circuit parameters are obtained through the measurement of its resonance characteristic. Using the equivalent circuit, the wideband topology which suppresses the parasitic oscillation is selected and implemented. The designed circuit is simulated by HBT(Harmoic Balance Technique) using EEsof's jOMEGA. The YTO thus fabricated has the wide oscillation range from 1.4 GHz to 4 GHz, and its linearity is 0.5% in the oscillation range. The phase noise is below 105dBc at 100kHz offset.

In the development of the totally implantable artificial heart (TAH), the information of the preload condition is important to ind appropriate condition or the automatic control of the heart. Our TAH configuration consists of two artificial ventricles, and brushless DC motor within actuator. The pressure between ventricles could indicate the preload condition during the TAH operation. If we can measure accurately inspite of the noise induced from TAH and environmental condition. We suggested integrating a feedback loop to remove an unexpected DC drift. NPI 19-series Nova sensor was used which could measure pressure in gas and liquid. This method and sensor enabled us to develop the pressure transducer compact so (that) the systems can be implanted with TAH into patient. This system has been verified in vitro and in vivo test. This results showed that the output waveform of this system was stable irrespective of animal condition.

It has been widely discussed in phonology that syllable structure of mother tongue influences one's acquisition of foreign language. However, the topic was hardly examined experimentally. So, we investigated effects of Korean syllable structure when Korean speakers pronounce English words, especially focusing on consonant strings that are not allowed in Korean. In the experiment, all the subjects are divided into 3 groups, that is, native, experienced, and inexperienced speakers. Native group consists of 1 male English native speaker. Experienced and inexperienced are each composed of 3 male Korean speakers. These 2 groups are divided by the length of residence in the country using English as a native language. 41 mono-syllable words are prepared considering the position (onset vs. coda), characteristic (stops, affricates, fricatives), and number of consonant. Then, the length of the consonant cluster is measured. To eliminate tempo effect, the measured length is normalized using the length of the word 'say' in the carrier sentence. Measurement of consonant cluster is the relative time period between the initiation of energy (onset I coda) which is acoustically representative of noise (consonant portion) and voicing. bar (vowel portion) in a syllable. Statistical method is used to estimate the differences among 3 groups. For each word, analysis of variance (ANDY A) and Post Hoc tests are carried out.

In the economic design of the process control procedure, where quality is measured at certain time intervals, its properties are difficult to derive due to the discreteness of the measurement intervals. In this paper a Markov chain representation of the process monitoring procedure is developed and used to derive its properties when the process follows an ARIMA(0,1,1) model, which is designed to describe the effect of the noise and the special cause in the process cycle. The properties of the Markov chain depend on the transition matrix, which is determined by the control procedure and the process distribution. The derived representation of the Markov chain can be adapted to most different types of control procedures and different kinds of process distributions by obtaining the corresponding transition matrix.

Reverse engineering has been widely used for the shape reconstruction of an object without CAD data and the measurement of clay or wood models fur the development of new products. To generate a surface from measured points by a laser scanner, typical steps include the scanning of a clay or wood model, the generation of compatible input curves, the generation of a surface and manufacturing data like G code or STL file. A laser scanner has a great potential to get geometrical data of a model for its frost measuring speed and higher precision. The data from a laser scanner are composed of many line stripes of points including small spikes and noise. A new approach using automated surface generating algorithm is introduced to deal with problems during reverse engineering process. And the input data and the generated surface are represented in IGES format, thus can be supplied to other CAD/CAM software without any data manipulation.
