The screw-feeders are used at gathering the minerals at the seafloor, transportation of the sewage, and at the beverage industry. This study was carried out to study solid-liquid mixture hydraulic transport of solid particles in a horizontal and inclined screw-feeders with rotating. This study is about the amount of the alteration amount of the material transportation for regular transportation. In this study a clear acrylic pipe was used in order to observe the movement of solid particles. Relates to the angle, rpm and ratio of pitch ; finding the optimum condition and knowing about designing the screw feeders shape. As a result, we found the suitable rpm and a suitable angle. According to the experiment, the best rpm and angle are 100-200rpm and $10^{\circ}$, respectively.

음성합성은 합성방식에 따라 파형부호화법, 신호원부호화법, 혼성부호화법으로 분류 할 수 있다. 특히 고음질 합성을 위해서는 파형부호화를 이용한 합성방식이 적합하다. 그렇 지만, 파형부호화를 이용한 합성법은 여기 성분과 여파기 성분을 분리하지 않고 처리하기 때문에 음절단위나 음소단위의 합성기법으로는 바람직하지 못하다. 따라서 파형부호화법을 규칙에 의한 합성에 적용되도록 음원피치를 변경시키기 위한 피치 변경법이 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 스펙트럼 왜곡을 최소화하기 위해 켑스트럼의 성질을 이용하여 피치를 변경 하는 방법에 대하여 제안하였다. 이 방법은 주파수영역상에서 여기 스펙트럼과 여파기 스펙 트럼을 분리하여 여기 스펙트럼을 여기 켑스트럼으로 변환한 후 영값 삽입이나 삭제에 의해 피치를 변경하고 스펙트럼영역에서 피치 변경된 스펙트럼을 재구성하는 기법을 적용하였다. 제안한 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 스펙트럼 왜곡율을 측정하여 본 결과 평균 스펙트럼 왜곡율은 평균 2.29%이하로 유지되었으며 주관적인 음질도 평균 3.74로 우수하였다.

Parameters used in a speaker recognition system are desirable expressing speaker's characteristics filly and have in a speech. That is to say, if inter-speaker than intra-speaker variance a big characteristic, it is useful to distinguish between speakers. Also, to make minimum error between speakers, it is required the improved recognition technology as well as the distinguishing characteristics. When we see the result of recent simulation performance, we obtain more exact performance by using dynamic characteristics and constant characteristics by a speaking habit. Therefore we suggest it to solve this problem as followings. The prosodic information is used by a characteristic vector of speech. Characteristics vector generally using in speaker recognition system is a modeling spectrum information and is working for a high performance in non-noise circumstance. However, it is found a problem that characteristic vector is distorted in noise circumstance and it makes a reduction of recognition rate. In this paper, we change pitch line divided by segment which can estimate a dynamic characteristic and it is used as a recognition characteristic. we confirmed that the dynamic characteristic is very robust in noise circumstance with a simulation. We make a decision of acceptance or rejection by comparing test pattern and recognition rate using the proposed algorithm has more improvement than using spectrum and prosodic information. Especially stational recognition rate can be obtained in noise circumstance through the simulation.
