In this paper, we propose a sub-pixel rendering algorithm using learning-based 2D FIR filters. The proposed algorithm consists of two stages: the learning and synthesis stages. At the learning stage, we produce the low-resolution synthesis information derived from a sufficient number of high/low resolution block pairs, and store the synthesis information into a so-called dictionary. At the synthesis stage, the best candidate block corresponding to each input high-resolution block is found in the dictionary. Next, we can finally obtain the low-resolution image by synthesizing the low-resolution block using the selected 2D FIR filter on a sub-pixel basis. On the other hand, we additionally enhance the sharpness of the output image by using pre-emphasis considering RGB stripe pattern of display. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can provide significantly sharper results than conventional down-sampling methods, without blur effects and aliasing.

Overcurrent and abnormal voltages in the distribution system can cause not only burden of power plant but also damage to customers. As a result, researches related to the distribution automation have been widely conducted by utilizing a real time digital simulation to improve the reliability of power supply through rapid failure handing, reduction of power failure intervals and failure recovery. However, the distribution automation systems using the real time digital simulator are expensive and limited to verify actual hardwares. Therefore, in this paper, an external hardware devices was developed based on the distribution system analysis results of the digital simulator. And real-time simulation and functional verification are implemented by the real feeder remote terminal units used in distribution automation. The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified through several experiments.

In order to augment the robustness of OFDM system to Rayleigh multipath fading, there exist two smart antenna algorithms, namely, Pre-FFT smart antenna and Post-FFT smart antenna. After the mathematical modeling of both smart antenna algorithms, computer simulations have been carried to compare and analyze the performance of generalized eigen problem based Pre-FFT algorithm and the performance of Wiener solution based Post-FFT algorithm. It has been shown that the Post-FFT smart antenna far outperforms the Pre-FFT smart antenna due to the computational complexities. Especially it is so when the multipath signal arrives at beyond the guard interval and a rich co-channel interferer is introduced. Performance of a subcarrier clustering method proposed to lessen the computing load has been compared to that of a typical Wiener solution based Post-FFT smart antenna. Performance comparison between MRC(Maximum Ratio Combining) diversity based Post-FFT algorithm and typical Post-FFT algorithm has also been carried.

Since an unexpected fault of induction motor drive systems can cause serious troubles in many industrial applications, which the technique is required to diagnose faults of a voltage-fed PWM inverter for induction motor drives. The considered fault types are rectifier diodes, switching devices and input terminals with open-circuit faults, and the signal for diagnosis is derived from motor currents. The magnitude of dq-current trajectory is used for the feature extraction of a fault and PCA LDA are applied to diagnose. Also, we show results with respect to the execution time because of the possibility to use that a diagnosis software is embedded in the controllers of medium and small size induction motors drive for real-time diagnosis. After we performed various simulations for the fault diagnosis of the inverter, the usefulness of proposed algerian was verified.

In general, a series of ship steering motion is represented by the combination of translational motion and rotational motion of the ship. Especially, special-functioned ships such as large-scale cruises, ships for installing underwater optical cable, and diver ships must be able to reveal only a translational motion without the change of orientation. In this paper, a method to comprise an integrated control system based on the joystick as a command instrument for translational motion control is suggested. In order to realize the translational motion control system, several algorithms are suggested including the velocity command generation, the selection of motional variables, and the generation and tracking of reference inputs for the selected motional variables. A simulation bench is composed to execute simulations for several translational motion commands. At last, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by analyzing the simulation results.

In cognitive radio networks, a secondary user opportunistically accesses an empty channel based on periodic sensing results for avoiding possible interference to the primary users. However, local sensing does not guarantee the full protection of the primary users because hidden primary receivers may exist within the interference range of the secondary transmitter. To protect primary systems and simultaneously to maximize utilization of the secondary users, we need to derive carefully designed coexistence solutions for various network scenarios. In this paper, we propose coexistence conditions without any harmful interference in accordance with the uplink/downlink schedule and user position. We have classified the coexistence conditions into four different scenario cases depending on the provided information to the secondary network basestations. Computer simulation results demonstrated that the proposed method can be applied to the real cognitive radio system to improve the communication probability of CR devices.

For effective DC-free coding in the optical storage systems, the Guided Scrambling algorithm is widely used. To reduce digital discrepancy of the coded sequence, functions of digital sum value (DSV) are used as criteria to choose the best candidate. Among these criteria, the minimum digital sum value (MDSV), minium squared weight (MSW), and minimum threshold overrun (MTO) are popular methods for effective DC-suppression. In this paper, we formulate integer programming models that are equivalent to MDSV, MSW, and MTO GS coding. Incorporating the MDSV integer programming model in MaxMin setting, we develop an integer programming model that computes the worst case MDSV bound given scrambling polynomial and control bit size. In the simulation, we compared the worst case MDSV bound for different scrambling polynomial and control bit sizes. We find that careful selection of scrambling polynomial and control bit size are important factor to guarantee the worst case MDSV performance.

In this paper we deal with a design of integral sliding mode controller to reject the disturbance force acting on the suspension system in the magnetically levitated system which is propelled by the linear induction motor. The control scheme comprises an integral controller which is designed for achieving zero steady-state error under step disturbances, and a sliding mode controller which is designed for enhancing robustness under plant uncertainties. A proper continuous design signal is introduced to overcome the chattering problem. The disturbance force produced by the linear motor is formularized by using a curve fitting of the experimental raw data. Computer simulations show the effectiveness of the designed integral sliding mode controller to reject the disturbance force.

As processor platforms are continuously moving toward wireless mobile systems, embedded mobile processors are expected to perform more and more powerful, and therefore the development of an efficient power management algorithm for these battery-operated mobile and handheld systems has become a critical challenge. It is well known that a memory system is a main performance limiter in the processor point of view. Although many DVFS studies have been considered for the efficient utilization of limited battery resources, recent works do not explicitly show the interaction between the processor and the memory. In this research, to properly reflect short/long-term memory access patterns of the embedded workloads in wireless mobile processors, we propose a memory buffer utilization as a new index of DVFS level prediction. The simulation results show that our solution provides 5.86% energy saving compared to the existing DVFS policy in case of memory intensive applications, and it provides 3.60% energy saving on average.
