The cascaded H Bridge (CHB) multilevel inverter (MLI) is popular among the classical MLI topologies due to its modularity and reliability. Although space vector modulation (SVM) is the most suitable modulation scheme for MLIs, it has not been used widely in industry due to the higher complexity involved in its implementation. In this paper, a simple and novel generalized SVM algorithm is proposed, which has both reduced time and space complexity. The proposed SVM involves the generalization of both the duty cycle calculation and switching sequence generation for any n-level inverter. In order to generate the gate pulses for an inverter, a generalized switch matrix (SM) for the CHB inverter is also introduced, which further simplifies the algorithm. The algorithm is tested and verified for three-phase, three-level and five-level CHB inverters in simulations and hardware implementation. A comparison of the proposed method with existing SVM schemes shows the superiority of the proposed scheme.

An efficient GMM (Gaussian mixture modeling) method based on LPCA (local principal component analysis) with VQ (vector quantization) for speaker identification is proposed. To reduce the dimension and correlation of the feature vector, this paper proposes a speaker identification method based on principal component analysis. The proposed method firstly partitions the data space into several disjoint regions by VQ, and then performs PCA in each region. Finally, the GMM for the speaker is obtained from the transformed feature vectors in each region. Compared to the conventional GMM method with diagonal covariance matrix, the proposed method requires less storage and complexity while maintaining the same performance requires less storage and shows faster results.

The authors have developed a calculating method of propeller shaft alignment by the finite element method. The propeller shaft is divided into finite elements which can be treated as uniform section bars. For each element, the nodal point equation is derived from the stiffness matrix, the external force vector and the section force vector. Then the overall nodal point equation is derived from the element nodal point equation. The deflection, offset, bending moment and shearing force of each nodal point are calculated from the overall nodal point equation by the digital computer. Reactions and deflections of supporting points of straight shaft are calculated and also the reaction influence number is derived. With the reaction influence number the optimum alignment condition that satisfies all conditions is calculated by the simplex method of linear programming. All results of calculation are compared with those of Det norske Veritas, which has developed a computor program based on the three-moment theorem of the strength of materials. The authors finite element method has shown good results and will be used effectively to design the propeller shaft alignment.

A new approach to texture classification for quantitative ultrasound liver diagnosis using run difference matrix was developed. The run difference matrix comprised the gray level difference along with a distances. From this run difference matrix, we defined several vectors and parameters such as DOD, DGD, DAD vector, SHP, SMO, SMG, LDE, LDEL etc. Each parameter values calculated in fatty, cirrhotic, normal and chronic hepatitic liver images were plotted in a plane and we found that RDM method was more sensitive to small structural changes than the conventional run length method and showed improved classification ability between the diseases.

행렬분해에 의하여 edge검출용 mask operator의 고속계산법을 제시하였다. 다방향성 mask operator의 각방향에 대한 계산결과는 mask원소와 화상간의 곱한 것을 합산한 것이다. 이것은 각 mask의 원소를 행으로 하는 행렬과 mask에 포함되는 화소를 원소로하는 벡터와의 곱과 마찬가지여서 1차원 신호변환으로도 취급할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 Sobel 및 Prewitt operator의 경우에 대한 변환행렬을 구한 다음 분해하여 계산량을 산출하여 직접 계산할 때의 방법과 비교하였다. 이 결과 여분의 기억점을 사용치 않고서도 이 방법에 의한 계산량은 Soble 및 Prweitt operator의 경우에 각각 직접 계산량의 42.86%, 50%밖에 되지 않았다. 그리고 100x100화소의 화상인 경우에 301개의 여분의 기억점을 사용할때에 Sobel opreator는 직접 계산량의 35.93%로 줄어 들었다.

The authors apply the transfer influence coefficient method to the 3-dimensional vibration analysis of beam with multi-joints and formulate a general algorithm to analysis the longitudinal, flexural and torsional coupled free vibration. In this paper, the structure, which is mainly founded in the robot arms, cranes and so on, has some crooked parts, subsystems and joints but has no closed loop in this system. It is modeled as the beam of a distributed mass system with massless translational, rotational and torsional springs in each node, and joint elements of release or roll at which node the displacement vector is discontinuous. The superiorty of the present method to the transfer matrix method in the computation accuracy was confirmed by the numerical computation results. Moreover, we confirmed that boundary and intermediate conditions could ve controlled by varying the values o the spring constants.

For blind source separation of convolutive mixtures, FDICA(Frequency Domain Independent Component Analysis) algorithms are generally used. Since FDICA algorithm such as Sawada FDICA, IVA(Independent Vector Analysis) works on the frequency bin basis with a natural gradient descent method, it takes much time to converge. In this paper, we propose a new method to improve convergence speed in FDICA algorithm. The proposed method reduces the number of iteration drastically in the process of natural gradient descent method by applying a weighted inner product constraint of unmixing matrix. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method achieved large improvement of convergence speed without degrading the separation performance of the baseline algorithms.

In multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) system, zero forcing beamforming (ZFB) is regarded as a realistic solution for transmitting scheme due to its low complexity and simple structure. However, ZFB shows a significant performance degradation when channel matrix has large condition number. In this case, the largest singular value of the channel inversion matrix has a dominant effect on transmit power. In this paper, we propose a perturbation method for reducing an effect of the dominant singular value. In the proposed algorithm, channel inverse matrix is first decomposed by SVD for the transmit signal to be expressed as a combination of singular vectors. Then, the transmit signal is perturbed to reduce the coefficient of the singular vector corresponding to the largest singular value. When a number of transmit antennas is 4, the simulation results of this paper shows that the proposed method shows 8dB performance enhancement at 10-3 uncoded bit error rate (BER) compared with conventional ZFB. Also, the simulation results show that the proposed method provides a comparable performance to Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding (THP) with much lower complexity.
