SAD (Sum of Absolute Difference) algorithm is the most frequently executing routine in motion estimation, which is the most demanding process in motion picture encoding. To enhance the performance of motion picture encoding on a VLIW processor, an optimal implementation of SAD algorithm on VLIW processor should be accomplished. In this paper, we propose an implementation of optimal scheduling of SAD algorithm with conditional branch on a VLIW-based high performance DSP. We first transform the nested loop with conditional branch of SAD algorithm into a single loop with conditional branch which has a large enough loop body to utilize fully the ILP capability of VLIW DSP and has a conditional branch to make the escape from loop to be achieved as soon as possible. And then we apply a modulo scheduling technique to the transformed single loop. We test the proposed implementation on TMS320C6713, and analyze the code size and performance with respect to processing time. Through experiments, it is shown that the SAD implementation proposed in this paper has small code size appropriate for embedded applications, and the H.263 encoder with the proposed SAD implementation performs better than other H.263 encoder with other SAD implementations.

The backscattered sound energy by fish depends on size and physical structure and, most important, on the presence or absence of a swimbladder. Target strength experiments of red seabream (Pagrus major) were conducted by using 38 (split-beam), 120 (split-beam) and 200 kHz (dual-beam) frequencies with live fishes confined in a net-cage and free swimming in tank without the cage, respectively. For 38, 120, and 200 kHz frequencies, target strength equations are expressed as a function of fish length：TS/sub 38kHz/=20 log/sub 1o(l)/-66.41, TS/sub 120kHz/＝20 log/sub 1o(1)/-71.80, and TS/sub 200kHz/＝20 log/sub 1o(1)/-73.94. To test the acoustic models by using Helmholtz-Kirchhoff ray approximation, predictions of target strength based on swimbladder morphometries are compared with target strength measurements. The target strength of whole fish depends on variations in swimbladder morphology than fish body morphology. In the mean time, when the fish is confined in the net cage, scattering length by the backscattered signal matched with the Gaussian PDF, while under the free-swimming condition, scattering length is close to the Rayleigh PDF.

서론: 최근 전세계적인 고령화 진행에 따른 뇌졸중, 파킨슨병, 알츠하이머병 등과 같은 각종 뇌관련 질환에 대한 관심이 더욱 높아지고 있으며 다양한 뇌질환 치료를 위하여 뇌 신경 신호의 정확한 검출 대한 연구가 학계에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 효과적인 뇌 신경 신호 검출을 위해서는 세포조직의 손상을 최소화 할 수 있는 초소형 신경탐침 및 극소 면적내에서 극대화된 검출 전극이 구현되어야 한다. 그러나, 극소 면적내에 구성된 소면적 전극을 통한 신호 검출은 전극 계면에서의 높은 임피던스를 야기시켜 정밀한 신경신호 검출에 어려움을 만든다. 따라서, 뇌 신경 신호 검출시 전극 계면에서의 낮은 임피던스를 검출하기 위한 다결정실리콘, 이리듐 산화막, 탄소나노튜브와 같은 다양한 전극 소재를 이용한 신경탐침 연구가 제안되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 극소화된 전극면적과 신경세포 계면에서의 저 임피던스 신경신호 검출을 위하여 비이온성 계면활성제와 전해도금을 이용하여 높은 거칠기값을 갖는 나노동공 백금층을 검출 전극으로 활용하였다. 실험 결과: 제작된 신경탐침의 몸체는 실리콘으로 이루어지며, 탐침 끝단에는 신호 측정을 위한 나노동공 백금층을 갖는 전극들이 집적되어 있다. Fig. 1 는 제작된 나노동공 백금을 갖는 신경탐침의 이미지 (a), SEM (b), TEM (c), FESEM (d) 측정결과를 보여준다. 0.9 %의 NaCl 용액에서 제작된 신경탐침의 계면임피던스 및 위상각 변화에 대한 측정결과가 Fig. 2에 나타나 있다. 1.2 kHz 주파수에서 $942.6K{\Omega}$ ($0.029{\Omega}cm^2$, $3.14{\mu}m^2$)로 극대화된 실표면적을 갖는 나노동공 백금층에 의하여 매우 낮은 임피던스 특성을 보인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 제작된 신경탐침은 위상각이 $-82.9^{\circ}$로서 캐패시터와 같은 역할을 하고 있다고 예상할 수 있었으며 $4.6mFcm^{-2}$의 축전용량값을 보였다. Fig. 3는 1 M의 황산용액에서 나노동공백금층이 형성된 신경탐침 전극과 형성 전의 전기화학적 표면변화를 비교분석한 결과로서 나노동공 백금층의 형성 전/후의 전류응답 특성이 상이하게 나타났다. 나노동공 백금층의 실표면적 극대화로 인한 전류응답수치 또한 크게 향상 되었으며, 0~-0.25 V 영역에서의 수소 흡착에 따른 환원곡선은 전형적인 백금 특성을 보여주는 결과로 판단 할 수 있다. Table 1는 기존에 연구되었던 신경탐침들과 본 연구에서 제작된 나노동공 백금을 갖는 신경탐침의 임피던스와 캐패시턴스 특성을 비교한 결과이다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 실리콘 신경탐침 끝단에 집적된 전극상에 전해도금법을 이용하여 높은 거칠기값을 갖는 나노동공 백금층을 형성하고 전극 계면상의 낮은 임피던스를 검출을 하였다. 나노동공 백금층을 갖는 신경탐침은 순환전압전류법을 통해 극대화된 실표면적을 극대화를 확인할 수 있었으며, 극대화된 검출 전극면은 저 임피던스 측정에 용이함을 실험을 통해서 증명할 수 있었다. 따라서, 높은 거칠기값의 나노동공 백금층은 초소형화된 신경탐침상에 집적되는 전극면적소형화와 다수의 전극 구현에 효과적일 것으로 판단되며 보다 정확한 신경신호 검출을 통한 뇌질환의 명확한 이해에 유망할 것으로 판단된다.

A Cut Out Switch (COS) is used for line protection and pole transformer protection in power systems. The COS used to protect the pole transformer is installed on the power side of the pole transformer to protect the electric equipment from fault currents. The COS is composed largely of a body and a fuse holder, and when the fault current is energized, the element of the fuse link in the fuse holder is melted to block the fault current. The arc generated when the COS fuse link is blown causes fire and noise, causing discomfort to residents in the surrounding area, and the arc flame can cause secondary damage to the peripheral device. In this study, a current-limiting COS fuse with improved overcurrent blocking performance rather than explosion type was developed to solve the arc and noise problems during COS operation. The overcurrent breaking performance of the current-limiting COS improves the reliability by developing a striker and COS fuse bracket. In addition, this study aimed to verify the performance of the developed current-limiting COS fuse through a test at an authorized institution.

We present a two-step evolution system that produces controllable virtual creatures in physically simulated 3D environment. Previous evolutionary methods for virtual creatures did not allow any user intervention during evolution process, because they generated a creature's shape, locomotion, and high-level behaviors such as target-following and obstacle avoidance simultaneously by one-time evolution process. In this work, we divide a single system into manageable two sub-systems, and this more likely allowsuser interaction. In the first stage, a body structure and low-level motor controllers of a creature for straight movement are generated by an evolutionary algorithm. Next, a high-level control to follow a given path is achieved by a neural network. The connection weights of the neural network are optimized by a genetic algorithm. The evolved controller could follow any given path fairly well. Moreover, users can choose or abort creatures according to their taste before the entire evolution process is finished. This paper also presents a new sinusoidal controller and a simplified hydrodynamics model for a capped-cylinder, which is the basic body primitive of a creature.

A number of recently developed cheese analogues that are available in dairy food markets are currently being produced for improving health or diet, and they include Mozzarella, Cheddar, American, Muenster, and other custom flavors. Cheese analogues have many benefits such as extended-and-improved shelf life, price stability, and functional qualities that include better texture, higher melting point, and better stretching properties. Various cheese analogues can now be made by using soybeans or soy protein products, gelatin, gum arabic, and other ingredients. Hence, in this study, on the basis of previously published studies, we recommend soy protein for cheese analogues, for improving the texture and flavor of cheese analogues. Moreover, the best conditions for making cheese analogues and the factors that affect the characterization of cheese analogues have been described in this paper.

The KSR-3 magnetometers consist of the fluxgate magnetometer (MAG/AIM) for acquiring the rocket flight attitude information, and the search-coil magnetometer (MAG/SIM) for the observation of the Earth's magnetic fluctuations. The position (latitude, longitude, and height) and flight condition (the transformation angle) of the rocket is measured after the data based on these two magnetometers are compared with IGRF The gap in the vector of magnetic field between the position of the launching point and an impact point is taken into account in data reduction. Angular variation of pitch, yaw, and roll can be researched when the data is applied to the coordinate system of the rocket.

An aerial multi-looking camera system equips itself with five separate cameras which enables acquiring one vertical image and four oblique images at the same time. This provides diverse information about the site compared to aerial photographs vertically. The geometric relationship of oblique cameras and a vertical camera can be modelled by 6 exterior orientation parameters. Once the relationship between the vertical camera and each oblique camera is determined, the exterior orientation parameters of the oblique images can be calculated by the exterior orientation parameters of the vertical image. In order to examine the exterior orientation of both a vertical camera and each oblique cameras in the multi-looking camera relatively, calibration targets were installed in a lab and 14 images were taken from three image stations by tilting and rotating a non-metric digital camera. The interior orientation parameters of the camera and the exterior orientation parameters of the images were estimated. The exterior orientation parameters of the oblique image with respect to the vertical image were calculated relatively by the exterior orientation parameters of the images and error propagation of the orientation angles and the position of the projection center was examined.

A bridge transported servo manipulator (BTSM) system for the advanced spent fuel conditioning process (ACP) has been developed to overcome the limitation of access, which is a drawback of mechanical master-slave manipulators (MSM) for the equipment maintenance. The servo manipulator is composed of a slave manipulator attached to the telescoping tubesets equipped with the overhead bridge installed at a hot cell and a master manipulator installed at an out-of-hot cell. Each manipulator has 7 degrees-of-freedom (DOF): a body rotation, an upper-arm tilt, a lower-arm tilt, a lower-arm rotation, a wrist pan & tilt, and a grasp motion. A wire-driven mechanism for a lower-arm rotation, a wrist pan and tilt, and a grasp motion of the manipulator has been adopted to increase the handling capacity compared to the manipulator weight and decrease the friction. The main disadvantage of the wire-driven mechanism is that if one link is in motion, other links can be affected. In this paper, the transmission characteristics among the wire-driven links have been formulated to overcome this drawback. The unexpected behaviors are confirmed by analyses of transmission characteristics as well as experiments. Also, the experimental results show that the unexpected behaviors are greatly decreased by the proposed compensation equations.

Purpose : To analyze the effect of implant designs on insertion torque and stress by performing a comparative study on von Mises stress, torque and normal force through a three-dimensional finite element analysis. Materials and methods : Models of the screw type implant were used to model the implant as a form placed in the mandibular premolar region applying a three-dimensional finite element method. Screw type implant designs were classified into 4 types of parallel ones and 7 types of tapered ones. Other factors were simulated to represent clinical environment. Results : In parallel implant designs, higher and wider threads resulted in higher insertion torques and higher stress distributions. In tapered implant designs, changes in the taper led to remarkable differences in the insertion torques. It was difficult to determine a certain tendency of stress distribution around the implants since the stress level was too high around them. In tapered implant designs, smaller implants demonstrated lower insertion torques than the original type and were relatively less dependent on the degree of taper. Tapered implants showed higher insertion torques and higher stress distributions than parallel implants. Conclusion : According to this study, although the tapered implant demonstrated a higher insertion torque than the parallel implant, stress tended to be concentrated in the entire fixture of the tapered implant due to the inefficient stress distribution.
