For the analysis of S, P and Zn in lubricating oil, microwave digestion method was studied by using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry(ICP-AES). Lubricating oil was completely decomposed with nitric acid or a mixture of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide using and closed microwave digestion system. Digestions are completed within 50 min, a factor of at least 3~4 times faster than for the conventional digestion. A gradual heating program operated by the pulsed mode was found suitable for decomposing the lubricating oil matrix safely. The proposed method of digestion gave relative standard deviations(RSD) less than 3% for the elements determined.

일반적으로 Indium tin oxide (ITO)는 유기EL 소자 제작 공정에서 필수 불가결한 물질로 알려져 있다. ITO는 정공 수송의 기능을 하게 되는데 정공 주입의 효율을 향상시키기 위해서는 ITO 표면의 저 저항화와 ITO/유기박막 접합계면의 일함수 값의 적절한 균형이 중요하다. 그리고 현재 플라즈마를 이용한 ITO 기판의 세정은 산소 래디칼을 이용하여 표면을 산화하는 방식인 산소 플라즈마를 이용한 세정 방법이 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ITO 표면의 탄소 오염물을 제거하여 저항특성을 향상시키기 위하여 원거리 산소와 수소 플라즈마 세정을 적용하였고, 그에 따른 탄소를 포함하는 오염물의 제거 효율과 산소와 수소 플라즈마로 처리된 ITO 표면의 특징을 기술하였다. 실험에 사용된 플라즈마 소스는 radio-frequency(RF) 플라즈마이고, 원거리 플라즈마 세정 시스템과 표면 분석 장비인 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)가 in-situ로 연결되어 있는 진공장비로 분석을 하였다 플라즈마 세정 전에 전처리 세정을 시행하지 알았으며, 세정 후 in-situ XPS에 의해서 화학 조성 및 결합 구조의 변화를 분석하였다. 또한 일함수와 면저항 값을 측정하고 그에 따른 표면의 저항 특성 및 표면 전위에 관하여 세정 효율과 연관지어 해석하였다. 원거리 산소/수소 플라즈마 세정 후 ITO 표면의 탄소오염물이 검출한계 이하로 효과적으로 제거된 것을 in-situ XPS 분석 결과로 확인하였고, 플라즈마 처리 순서 및 플라즈마 파워를 변화하여 그에 따른 표면의 결합 상태 및 화학 조성의 변화를 비교 분석하였다.

This paper presents a 13.56 MHz RFID reader that can be used as a door-lock system for smart home security. The RFID reader consists of a transmitter, a receiver, and a data processing block. To verify the operation of the developed RFID reader, we present both a PSPICE simulation for transmitter/receiver and a digital simulation for data processing block. In particular, a CRC block for error detection of received data and a Manchester decoding block for position detection of collided data are designed using VHDL. In addition, we applied a binary search algorithm for multi-tag anti-collision. The anti-collision procedure is carried out by PIC microcontroller on software. The experimental results show that the developed reader can provide the right multi-tag recognition.

This paper considers an approach of secondary user selection method in cooperative spectrum sensing, which two users with the best SNR in sensing channel and in reporting channel, respectively, are selected to cooperate with each other in the spectrum sensing. The sensing results reported by two users are then combined to detect PU signal operation. A comparison between this proposed method with conventional selection technique in which only the user having the best sensing channel SNR is selected shows that the proposed method outperforms. We make an assumption that sensing channels experience identical, independent distributed (i.i.d) Rayleigh fading and the reporting channels are invariant and non-identical. Simulation results are derived for demonstration.

Recently, a fixed complexity LR(fcLR) technique was proposed. Also QR-LRL signal detection method was proposed in which all constellation symbols are tried as the symbol corresponding to the least reliable layer (LRL), thereby achieving high error performance. In this paper, we combine these two efficient methods to propose a novel detection method. When the LRL is disregarded in the process of LR, the worst case complexity of LR is significantly reduced. Also, the proposed method is shown to be superior to the conventional fcLR-based detection method from the perspective of error performance. Simulations are performed to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.

This paper presents a robust viewpoint estimation algorithm for Moving Parallax Barrier mobile 3D display in sudden illumination changes. We analyze the previous viewpoint estimation algorithm that consists of the Viola-Jones face detector and the feature tracking by the Optical-Flow. The sudden changes in illumination decreases the performance of the Optical-flow feature tracker. In order to solve the problem, we define a novel performance measure for the Optical-Flow tracker. The overall performance can be increased by the selective adoption of the Viola-Jones detector and the Optical-flow tracker depending on the performance measure. Various experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes the methods for improving the recognition rate of theARS, especially equipped with the speech recognition capability. Telephone speech, which is the input to the ARS, is usually affected by the announcements from the system, channel noise, and channel distortion, thus directly applying the recognition algorithm developed for clean speech to the noisy telephone speech will bring the significant performance degradation. To cope with this problem, this paper proposes three methods: 1)the accurate detection of the inputting instant of the speech in order to immediately turn off the announcements from the system at that instant, 2)the effective end-point detection of the noisy telephone speech on the basis of Teager energy, and 3)the SDCN-based compensation of the channel distortion. Experiments on speaker-independent, noisy telephone speech reveal that the combination of the above three proposed methods provides great improvements on the recognition rate over the conventional method, showing about 77% in contrast to only 23%.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for interlaced-to-progressive conversion by the weighted summation of the information collected from spatial do-interlacing method, in which the weighted edge based line average is applied, and the temporal method in which the motion compensation is employed by using hi-directional BMA (block matching algorithm). We employed time-recursive and motion adaptive processing as motion detection is involved. Also, a median filter is used to deal with limitation of the linear summation in which only an intermediate of values being involved is determined. The main goal of the approach is to overcome the shortcomings of each of the do-interlacing techniques without significant increment of the computational complexity, and the proposed method is apt to implement in hardware for real-time processing.

본 논문에서는 인간의 주의시각(Human Visual Attention)에 기반하여 영상에서 가장 유용하다고 생각되는 관심 영역(Salient Region)을 새로운 방식으로 탐지해내고 관심-객체를 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 인간의 주의시각 특성인 주파수와 명도, 색상 특징을 이용하는데, 먼저 주파수-명도 정보를 이용한 특징 지도(Feature map)와 색상 정보를 이용한 특징 지도를 각각 생성 한 후 영상의 특징 점(Saliency Point)을 추출한다. 이렇게 생성된 특징 지도와 특징 점을 이용하여 집중 윈도우의 위치와 크기를 결정하고 집중 윈도우 내에 특징 지도를 결합하여 관심 영역을 탐지하고 해당하는 영역에 대해 관심-객체를 추출한다.

In this paper, the hybrid ARQ system involving the single error correcting and double error detection (127, 119) cyclic Hamming codes and the SR(selective repeat) ARQ schemes with a finite receiver buffer has been designed and constructed. The system performance has been analyzed and simulated. As a result of the simulation, it has been shown that the transmitter retransmitted those data blocks that were detected in errors especially the request signal errors using two retransmission. The system performance was measured by throughput efficiency due to channel error effects.
