This work proposes a 15b 50MS/s CMOS pipeline ADC based on digital code-error calibration. The proposed ADC adopts a four-stage pipeline architecture to minimize power consumption and die area and employs a digital calibration technique in the front-end stage MDAC without any modification of critical analog circuits. The front-end MDAC code errors due to device mismatch are measured by un-calibrated back-end three stages and stored in memory. During normal conversion, the stored code errors are recalled for code-error calibration in the digital domain. The signal insensitive 3-D fully symmetric layout technique in three MDACs is employed to achieve a high matching accuracy and to measure the mismatch error of the front-end stage more exactly. The prototype ADC in a 0.18um CMOS process demonstrates a measured DNL and INL within 0.78LSB and 3.28LSB. The ADC, with an active die area of $4.2mm^2$, shows a maximum SNDR and SFDR of 67.2dB and 79.5dB, respectively, and a power consumption of 225mW at 2.5V and 50MS/s.

To evaluate highway safety countermeasures or identify high risk sites, the expected crashes for a site (or segment) have been estimated using the panel crash data. Past studies show that two different methods can be employed to estimate the expected crashes: observed crash based method and empirical Bayes (EB) method. This study conducts a simulation study to analyze how the estimation errors of the two estimates are affected by the different structures of the panel crash data and the presence of the change in safety over time. The results disclose that the estimation errors of the observed crash based estimates (i.e. the mean observed crash and comparative parallel estimate) are always greater than those of the EB estimates regardless of the structure of the panel crash data and the presence of the change in safety over time. Thus, it is highly recommended that the EB method be used in the study of traffic safety to obtain more reliable estimates for the expected crashes. In addition, this study corroborates that the estimation errors of the two estimates decrease as the analysis periods increase if safety does not change over time. Hence, it is also recommended that the 1-year analysis period used for identifying high risk sites in Korea be extended to produce more efficient estimates of the time-constant expected crashes.

This paper is a study on the evaluation of loss factor of damping treatment materials to reduce the noise and vibration for panels of railway vehicles and automobiles. In order to determine the modal parameters of damping materials, beam excitation tests were carried out using different type PVC coated aluminum and steel base beam specimens. The specimens were excited from 10 Hz to 1000 Hz frequency range using sinusoidal force, and transfer mobility data were measured by using an accelerometer. The loss factors were determined by using integrated program, based on theories of Half Power Method, Minimum Tangent Error Method, Minimum Angle Error Method and Phase Change Method, which enable to evaluate the parameters using modal circle fit and least squares error method. In the case of lower loss factor and data of linear characteristics, any method could be applied for evaluation of parameters, however the case of higher loss factor or data including non-linear characteristics, the minimum angle error method could reduce the loss factor evaluation. The obtained dynamic properties of the coating material could be used for application of Finite Element Method analyzing the noise control effects of complex structures such as carbody or under-floor boxes of rolling stock. The damping material will be very useful to control the structural noise, because the obtained modal loss factors of each mode show very good effect on over $2^{nd}$ mode frequency range.

본 연구에서는 원통형 구조물의 진동해석을 위하여 통계에너지 분석방식(st- atistical energy analysis:SEA)이 사용되었다. SEA는 4개의 물리적 변수인 구조물 질량(Mi), 주파수대역에 존재하는 고유진동수(Ni), 내부손실계수(internal loss fact- or) 및 상호손실계수(coupling loss factor)를 이용하여 구조물의 진동수준과 구조물 상호간의 에너지 교환을 해석하는 방법으로서 비록 넓은 주파수 범위에 걸쳐 정확한 진동예측을 하기에는 어느정도 오차가 예상되는 단점이 있으나 진동해석이 용이하고 복잡한 계산을 필요로 하지 않기 때문에 대형구조물의 진동해석에 많이 사용되고 있 는 기법이다. 따라서 연구의 대상인 원통형 구조물의 고유진동수를 예측하기 위하여 일차적으로 반경에 의한 곡률영향을 배제시킨 평판에 대한 분석이 시도되었다. 이와 함께 주어진 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 평판및 원통형 구조물의 고유진동수의 차이를 비교하 였다.그결과로부터 원통형 구조물에 대한 고유진동수 계산식을 평판구조물의 굽힘 강성과 곡률반경으로 야기되는 표면응력에 의한 함수로 표현하였다.

A FRF-based substructuring method attempts to predict the dynamic characteristics of a complex structure from predetermined FRFs of the comprising uncoupled substructures. Although this method has the advantage of being able to incorporate experimental component FRFs directly, it is prone to errors : measurement errors, coordinate incompleteness, modal incompleteness, etc. Among the various sources of errors, this paper deals with the problem of modal incompleteness (or residual problem) of which importance is underestimated compared to others. It is a well-known rule of thumb that such a problem can be overcome by including modes up to 2 or 3 times the upper frequency of interest. Using a simulated case study, it is demonstrated that even including modes up to 20 times the upper frequency of interest does not guarantee a satisfactory result. A method to compensate the residual errors is introduced. This method requires the whole FRF matrices of substructures which is practically impossible for a complex structure. An applicable alternative is suggested and applied successfully to the case study. Finally, the effects of measurement errors on the residual compensation are also discussed.

In this paper, a nonlinear algorithm that maximizes zero-error probability (MZEP) with decision feedback (DF) is proposed to counteract both of severely distorted multi-path fading effect and impulsive noise. The proposed MZEP-DF algorithm has shown the immunity to impulsive noise and the ability of the feedback filter section to cancel the remaining intersymbol interference as well. Compared with the linear MZEP algorithm, it yields above 10 dB enhancement of steady state MSE performance in severely distorted multipath fading channels with impulse noise where the least mean square (LMS) algorithm does not converge below -3dB of MSE.

In crosswell ray tomography, the resultant velocity structure could be affected by source static, first-arrival-time picking errors, convergence to a local minimum due to an inappropriate initial velocity model and etc. In the paper, I propose an algorithm that automatically correct the souce static among these error-prone factors. The algorithm automatically corrects source static using the picking times' differences along the source direction. The application of the algorithm to real data produces a quite satisfactory result. Tile algorithm seems to be helpful for users to apply the souce static correction consistently and to acquire accurate velocity structure.

When retrieving voluminous capacity of video image data, it is necessary to provide synopsized frame lists of video image data for indexing and replaying at the exact point where the user want to retrieve. We apply Mean Squared Error method to extract certain pixel value from diagonal direction of a frame. The RGB value of a pixel extracted from each frame is saved in a matrix form, and this frame is retrievedas a scene change point if the compared value of two points met the certain condition. Also implement the algorithm and provide a way to seize entire structure of video image and the point of scene changes. finally, we analyze and prove that our method has better performance compared with the others.

The determination of three-dimensional positions on a circular or cylindrical surface covers a variety of applications. As an example, consider the monitoring of structures, which is an important topic in the broad category of deformation analysis. The use of convergent photography in determination of these positions has the many advantages over survey based procedures. This paper illustrates results from bundle adjustments derived from convergent photography of a cylindrical object, with both metric and non-metric cameras utilized in the test. In addition to standard error comparisons resulting from the error analysis provided by the bundle adjustments, object space coordinates resulting from metric and non-metric camera network geometries will also be compared.

Recently, the study on non-linear equalization, self-recovering equalization using the neural Network structure or Fuzzy logic, is lively in progress. In this thesis, if the value of error difference is large, coefficient adaptation rate is bigger, and if being small, it is smaller. We proposed the new FSG(Fuzzy Stochastic Gradient)/CMA algorithm combining TS(Tagaki-Sugeno) fuzzy model having fast convergence rate and low mean square error(MSE) and CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm) which is prone to ISI and insensitive to phase alteration. As a simulation result of the designed channel adaptive equalizer using the proposed FSG/CMA algorithm, it is shown that SNR is improved about 3.5dB comparing to the conventional algorithm.
