In this paper,we propose a new algorithm to perform DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) withn the area reduced by prdeicting position of quantization coefficients to be zero.This proposed algorithm not only decreases the enoding time and the decoding time by reducing computation amount of FDCT(Forward DCT)and IDCT(Inverse DCT) but also increases comprossion ratio by performing each diffirent horizontal- vereical zig-zag scan assording to the calssified block size for each block on the huffiman coeing.Traditional image coding method performs the samd DCT computation and zig-zag scan over all blocks,however this proposed algorthm reduces FDCT computation time by setting to zero insted of computing DCT for quantization codfficients outside classfified block size on the encoding.Also,the algorithm reduces IDCT computation the by performing IDCT for only dequantization coefficients within calssified block size on the decoding.In addition, the algorithm reduces Run-Length by carrying out horizontal-vertical zig-zag scan approriate to the slassified block chraateristics,thus providing the improverment of the compression ratio,On the on ther hand,this proposed algorithm can be applied to 16*16 block processing in which the compression ratio and the image resolution are optimal but the encoding time and the decoding time take long.Also,the algorithm can be extended to motion image coding requirng real time processing.

The nonuniform thermal conductive reaction blocks were manufactured by impregnation of metal salts on the expanded graphite to improve the heat and mass transfer ability of reaction block for the chemical heat pump using the reaction of ammonia and metal salts(halide). The nonuniform blocks were designated to increase apparent density, like 165, 222, 279, 337, $394kg/m^3$ radially The experimental results showed that the heat transfer characteristics of nonuniform blocks were better than uniform blocks. As the reaction of ammonia repeated, the volumetric expansion in the reaction block makes the mass transfer improve, and the reproducibility better.

In this paper, the ciassification of Korean character type using multi neural network and fuzzy inference based on block partition is studied. For the effective classification of a consonant and a vowel, block partition method which devide the region of a consonant and a vowel for each type in the character is proposed. And the partitioned block can be changed according to the each type adaptively. For the improvement of classification rate, the multi neural network with a whole and a part neural network is consisted, and the character type by using fuzzy inference is decided. To verify the validity of the proposed method, computer simulation is accomplished, and from the classification rate $92.6\%$, the effectivity of the method is confirmed.

A progressive image transmission (PIT) scheme based on the classified transform vector quantization (CVQ) technique using the lapped orthogonal transform (LOT) and human visual system (HVS) weighting is proposed in this paper. Conventional block transform coding of images using DCT produces in general undesirable block-artifacts at low bit rates. In this paper, image blocks are transformed using the LOT and classified into four classes based on their structural properties and further divided adaptively into subvectors depending on the LOT coefficient statistics with HVS weighting to improve the reconstructed image quality by adaptive bit allocation. The subvectors are vector quantized and transmitted progressively. Coding tests using computer simulations show that the LOT/CVQ based PIT of images is a effective coding scheme. The results are also compared with those obtained using PIT/DCTVQ. The LOT/CVQ based PIT reduces the block-artifacts significantly.

In this study, embodied supervisory system that apply motion detection technique to small web camera and detects watch picture. Motion detection technique that use pixel value of car image that use in existing need memory to store background image. Also, there is sensitive shortcoming at increase of execution time by data process of pixel unit and noise. Suggested technique that compare extracting motion information by block unit to do to have complexion that solve this shortcoming and is strong at noise. Because motion information by block compares block characteristic value of image without need frame memory, store characteristic cost by block of image. Also, can get effect that reduce influence about noise and is less sensitive to flicker etc.. of camera more than motion detection that use pixel value in process that find characteristic value by block unit.

The temperature distribution and heat flux of the inner cylinder wall of a 4-cycle turbocharged gasoline engine were calculated by a 2-dimensional coordinate transformation. Boundary conditions of the inner wall of the cylinder were taken from the results of diagnostic engine simulations. Results show that the ununiformity of inner wall temperature of the cylinder black can be reduced by a proper choice of the thickness of fin and the distance between two cylinder blocks.

The use of EPS application to construction field was introduced in this country very recently. Nevertheless, approximately a total of 210,000m3 of EPS application was conducted in less than four years. Main app.lication areas for the EPS method are : (1)backfill behind a bridge abutment constructed on soft clay soil, (2)embankment constructed on soft clay soil, and (3)backfill of gravity wall. Among these, about 70oA of EPS are used for (1) and (2) deb cribed above. In this study, an invesitgation was held for the application of the EPS method to backfill of a bridge abutment which was constructed on soft clay soil. Several instruments were installed around the construction site to invesitgate the behavior of the system. Then a Finite Element Analysis was conducted for comparison.

The video coding for very low bit-rate has recently received considerable attention, but the conventional coding schemes with block based transform suffer from the blocky effect for the constraints of limited bit-rate. In this paper, we present a video coding system based on wavelet transform and multiresolution motion estimation/compensation for very low bit-rate video. The proposed scheme uses the wavelet transform which is flexible to represent non-stationary image signals and adaptable to the human visual characteristics. The wavelet transformed coefficients are coded by various coding modes in accordance with the sum of absolute error after motion estimation/compensation in wavelet decomposed domain. And simple buffer control technique is applied to handle constant image quality. It is shown that the presented scheme has more acceptable image quality without blocky effects than conventional block based transform video coding.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on one dimensional excess enthalpy flame formed in a porous block. The investigation is undertaken in order to further the physical understanding of internal heat recirculation from reaction zone to unburned mixture. Two porous blocks are placed at both sides of combustion block to control the temperature distribution in the combustion block by means of radiation heat transfer. Mean temperature measurement reveals the general nature of the reaction zone in the porous material. It is conformed that the temperature of reaction zone exceeds the adiabatic flame temperature and the flame is stabilized at the out range of flammibility limit derived by conventional burner.

Recently, the observational design and construction method in tunnels has been becoming important. Rock masses include various discontinuities such as joints, faults, fractures, bedding planes, and, cracks. The behavior of tunnels in hard rocks, therefore, is generally controlled by various discontinuities. In this study, a new key block analysis method for observational design and construction method in tunnels is proposed, and then applied to the actual tunnel with a super-large cross-section. The proposed analysis method considers finite persistence of discontinuities. The new analysis method can handle concave and convex shaped blocks. To demonstrate the applicability of this key block analysis method for observational design and construction method in tunnels, the analysis results are examined and compared with those of the conventional method.
