분산 비디오 부호화(distributed video coding)는 분산 소스 부호화의 대표적인 응용분야로서 부호화 복잡도가 부호화기에서 복호화기로 이동되어 저전력 부호화 환경에 매우 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 분산 비디오 부호화의 성능 향상에 있어 가장 중요한 보조 정보의 효과적인 생성 방법을 제안한다. 우선 보조 정보 생성을 위한 키 프레임들 간의 블록 움직임 추정에 있어 기존 방법들이 대체적으로 가정하고 있는 선형적인 움직임 이동에 따른 잘못된 예측을 해결하기 위해 두 장 이상의 키 프레임을 사용하여 블록 움직임을 추정한 후, 선형 회귀(linear regression)를 이용하여 보조 정보 상의 블록 움직임 궤적을 추정한다. 이때 움직임 추정을 위한 키 프레임 번호를 증가하며 선입선출(FIFO)형 버퍼에 저장 및 삭제하여 동일한 보조정보에 해당하는 여러 움직임 벡터 필드와, 기존의 선형적인 움직임이 가정된 움직임 벡터 필드를 동시에 생성한다. 다음으로 보간(interpolation)하려는 보조 정보 프레임 내의 임의의 블록에 가장 가깝게 통과하는 움직임 벡터 필드를 선택하여 해당하는 블록의 최종 움직임 벡터로 선택한다. 실험결과 제안하는 보조 정보 생성 방법은 기존의 방법과 비교했을 때 비대칭성 움직임 벡터 사용만으로 평균 PSNR이 0.216dB 만큼 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Today only 5-15% (approximately 1 in 10 persons) of persons with disabilities in need globally have access to assistive products which assist or replace the impaired functioning[1]. GATE (Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology) is a WHO global initiative for cooperation of stakeholders to cope with current and future challenges in product design, pricing, delivery and services, as well as medical and social system, expert training, and policies. This paper introduces the concept of WHO GATE to improve access to assistive technology for everyone by the cooperation with global key stakeholders.

This study presents a unique way to improve consumer-oriented service for assistive orthosis products. Satisfaction and important factors were analyzed based on responses from disabled people who have used the orthoses. We surveyed 185 disabled people with QUEST (Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with assistive Technology), and we conducted in-depth interviews with 25 individuals. The average satisfaction score was 3.68 (orthoses satisfaction: 3.78; service satisfaction: 3.52). For each item, the highest score was effectiveness, and the lowest one was cost. As important factors for each item, the participants selected cost, comfort, repair, and service. The fee system for orthoses needs rational revision, and a delivery system should be constructed for follow-up services such as repair.

The most of the elders or patients that use common walkers do not have enough physical strength in the legs and cannot walk for a long time where they want to go. So it is necessary to take rests and highly required to develop a multi-function walker that can guide walking safely for weak elders or patients with IT application products at the same time. This study is focused on the walkers for elders with bent back and the design to grant new values for elders to overcome limitations of existing walkers.

It is Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled that is facilities providing assistive technology services for supported employment since 2004's. This center have one central organization and 18 branch offices. The need of this service through satisfaction research of the demand is confirmed by precedent study Therefore foundation of assistive technology center for supported employment should be required by demand analysis because of improving professional and providing 'qualitative' services instead of 'quantitative' ones. So assistive technology center for supported employment can resolve a problem about various needs for increasing disabled population. Demand of establishing this center has been researched.

Deformational characteristics of subbase materials are important parameters in the mechanistic design of pavement. The subbase materials are mostly unbound granular materials in Korea, and seven representative subbase materials were collected for testing from the pavement construction sites. To evaluate the deformational characteristics of subbase materials, RC/TS, TX and FF-RC tests were performed. The effects of various variables on modulus were studied. The variation in the modulus with number of loading cycles and loading frequency are very small and can be ignored in a practical sense. The modulus of subbase materials were significantly affected by confining pressure and strain level. The representative modulus reduction curve and constitutive models for Korean subbase materials were suggested.

The physical disabled are using various types of assistive devices and reading assistance device is have been researched and development. After all reading assistance device which being marketed present for the physical disabled's features is simply limited to turing the page. In this paper, Implemented prototype model of the reading assistance device for the physical disabled that is have designed to modify to improve the success rate of turing page and conjunction with mobile devices such as PDA to provide more convenient and useful features. And not only for the disabled then take a look at Universal design concept of view of the tool can be useful the public also.

This study compared the utility of walking aids, and activities of daily life depending on the ability of people with mobility disabilities to use walking aids. Data were extracted from the Korea Welfare Panel Study in 2014. Data of 435,947 individuals were analyzed using chi-square and t-tests. The findings from this study showed that disabled persons who cannot use walking aids independently were more likely to have a severe disability level and a lower level of daily activities than the independent group. The level of social participation and leisure activities were also significantly lower in the dependent than the independent group. Therefore, walking aids should be tailored for individuals depending on their level of independence for using walking aids.

A sturdy on the adhesion properties of solid propellants, liners, and insulation was carried out according to the types of barrier coats. A barrier coats were used to prevent migration of the plasticizer or curative between the propellant/liner/insulation, and the barrier coat was selected out of Isocyanates with different molecular weight and number of -NCO in one molecule. As a result, it was found that the more the -NCO group and the larger molecular weight, the stronger adhesion. In addition, as a result of experiments about effects of the pot life after applying the barrier coat on bond strength, the adhesion strength was shown to increase as the pot life was short.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for oral health promotion of service worker and their effective interpersonal relationships forming through the evaluation about service workers' awareness of the auxiliary oral hygiene devices and using behavior of it. The survey was carried out questionnaire research targeting 400(service group 200, non-service group 200) and compared the two groups. The obtained results were as follow: 1. brushing behavior showed the highest ratio of 3~4 times/day(53.4%) in brushing frequency, up-down method(50.8%) in brushing method, after 5 minutes after the meals(45.0%) in brushing time, shape brush(56.6%) in brush change time. 2. service group used a lot more auxiliary oral hygiene devices than non-service group(50.9%). the frequency of use was toothpick(30.9%), gargle(29.9%), floss(13.5%), tongue cleaner(10.1%). 3. In comparison of two group about state of use, service group showed more higher ratio of floss(66.1%), tongue cleaner(64.4%), gargle(56.6%) than non-service group. non-service group showed more higher ratio of toothpick(54.6%) than service group 4. Service group used auxiliary oral hygiene devices by suggestions of dental clinic(53.6%) and didn't use them because of uncomfortable to use(45.4%) or didn't know how to use(21.6%). 5. As result of the awareness-related using rate of auxiliary oral hygiene devices, service group showed higher using ratio except toothpick than non-service group. especially gargle(54.8%), tongue cleaner(43.3%), floss(35.8%) were showed high. 6. service group took a regular checkups more than non-service group and showed the highest ratio of each 1 year(43.5%) in checkup period.
