EEG is an electrical signal, which occurs during information processing in the brain. These EEG signals have been used clinically, but nowadays we are mainly studying Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) such as interfacing with a computer through the EEG, controlling the machine through the EEG. The ultimate purpose of BCI study is specifying the EEG at various mental states so as to control the computer and machine. This research makes the controlling system of directions with the artifact that are generated from the subject's will, for the purpose of controlling the machine correctly and reliably. We made the system like this. First, we select the particular artifact among the EEG mixed with artifact, then, recognize and classify the signals' pattern, then, change the signals to general signals that can be used by the controlling system of directions.

In this paper, a new speech enhancement method for speech signal corrupted by environmental noise is proposed. Two signals are obtained from the microphone and from the accelerometer attached to the neck, respectively. Since two signals are generated from same source signal, both signals are closely correlated. And environmental noise has no effect on the accelerometer signal. The speech enhancement system identifies the optimum linear system between two signals on the basis of the dependence between the signals. The enhanced speech can be obtained by filtering the noise-free accelerometer signal. Since the characteristcs of the speech signal and environmental noise are changing with time, adaptive filtering system has to be used for characterizing the time-varing system. Simulation results show 7dB enhancement with 0dB speech signal level relative to the white noise.

This paper concentrated on lip synchronization (lip sync) test for DTV with respect to audio and video signals using a finite digital bitstream In this paper, we propose a new lip sync test method which does not effect on the current program by use of the transient effect area test signals (TATS) and audio-video time index lip sync test signals (TILS).the experimental result shows that the time difference between audio and video signal can be easily measured by captured oscilloscope waveform at any time.

The wavelet transform is a popular tool for studying intermittent and localized phenomena in signals. In this study the wavelet transform of cutting force signals was conducted for the diagnosis of grinding conditions in grinding process. We used the Daubechies wavelet analyzing function to detect a sudden change in cutting signal level. STD11 workpiece was 85 times of machined pieces cut by the WA wheel and a tool dynamometer obtained cutting force signals. From the results of the wavelet transform, the obtained signals were divided into approximation terms and detailed terms. At dressing time, the approximation signals were slowly increased and 45 machined times noticed dressing time.

Measurement of the vibration transmitted through rotating shafts such as half shafts in vehicles is of interest in applications such as noise transfer analysis and the study of operating deflections. Vibration signals transmitted through a rotating shaft usually include six degree-of-freedom components, thus making the measurement of vibration a challenging task. In the present work, a new measurement method is presented, one that resolves the minimum of only two one-axis accelerometer signals into all components of vibration with reasonable accuracy. The method utilizes the Dopplerized signals obtained from accelerometers attached to a rotating shaft and a Void-Kalman order tracking filter to decompose signals into orders of different vibration components. The new method proposed in the present work is verified by simulated run-up test data and applied to an experimentally obtained data set.

The effects of acute ethanol on the high K+ induced $Ca^{2+}}$ signals were examined from primary cultures of cerebellar granule neurons. $Ca^{2+}}$ signals were measured with Calcium Green-1 based microscopic video imaging. Because $Ca^{2+}}$ signal was low in most of granule neurons without stimuli, high KCI was used for depolarization. In most case, acute exposure to ethanol reduced the peak amplitude of the $Ca^{2+}}$ signals, induced by high K+, even though low concentration of ethanol(2~10mM) was used and the effects lasted more than 30min. In was also possible to see differences of ethanol inhibition, i.e. the temporal pattern of $Ca^{2+}}$ signal reductions and the strength of inhibition of $Ca^{2+}}$ signals in cerebellar granule neurons. These results indicate that low concentration of ethanol has diverse actions on the $Ca^{2+}}$ signals in cerebellar granule neurons.

The characteristics of elastic waves emanated from crack initiation in 6061 aluminum alloy subjected to fatigue loading are investigated through experiments. The objective of the study is to determine the differences in the properties of the signals generated from fatigue test and also to examine if the sources of the waves could be identified from the temporal and spectral characteristics of the acoustic emission (AE) waveforms. The signals are recorded using nonresonant, flat, broadband transducers attached to the surface of the alloy specimens. The time dependence and power spectra of the signals recorded during the tests were examined and classified according to their special features. Six distinct types of signals were observed. The waveforms and their power spectra were found to be dependent on the crack propagation stage and the type of fracture associated with the signals. The potential application of the approach in health monitoring of structural components using a network of surface mounted broadband sensors is discussed.

Most of the statistical signal analysis processed in the time domain and the frequency domain are based on the assumption that the signal is weakly stationary(wide sense stationary). Therefore, it is necessary to know whether the surface EMG signals processed in the statistical basis satisfy the condition of weak stationarity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the accuracy of the Run-test, modified Run-test, RA(reverse arrangement)-test, and modified RA-test for assessing surface EMG signal stationarity. Six stationary and three non-stationary signals were simulated by using sine wave, AR(autoregressive) modeling, and real surface EMG. The simulated signals were tested for stationarity using nine different methods of Run-test and RA-test. The results showed that the modified Run-test method2 (mRT2) classified exactly the surface EMG signals by stationarity with 100% accuracy. This finding indicates that the mRT2 may be the best way for assessing stationarity in surface EMG signals.

In this paper, we propose a new method to deinterleave multi-stage stagger PRI signals of pulse radars using the electronic intelligence systems. While former algorithms were based on hardware PRI tracker only using the first deviation of the TOA of radar signals, this paper uses the first and the second deviation of TOA of radar signals and uses the PRI histogram method to deinterleave multiple PRIs of pulse radars. This algorithm can be used for deinterleaving various PRI signals at electronic intelligence systems.

This paper proposes on the implementation of efficient image transmission system by generation and protection of watermark signals. For this, the image structure understanding is performed for improving the image quality and the generation of watermark signals. Then, the histogram is constructed and the watermark signals are selected from this. At this stage, by embedding of the coefficients of curve fittness into the lower 4 its of the image data pixels, image quality degradation due to the embedding of watermark signals are prevented. Finally, turbo encoding is performed to solve the problem of watermark signal losses that may occur on channels when transmitting. Especially, a new interleaving method called semi-random interleaver is proposed.
