Although surgical options for double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with non-committed ventricular septal defect (VSD) are vary in accordance to the morphological characteristics, it is very difficult to use biventricular repair technique when there is tricuspid chordae originating from conal septum or when the distance between the tricuspid valve and the pulmonic valve is too short. We report our clinical experience of biventricular repair of DORV with non-committed VSD by VSD rerouting to the pulmonary artery and arterial switch in case of a presence of conal tricuspid chordae and short distance between the tricuspid valve and the pulmonic valve.

Understanding of the surgical anatomy of patients with double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is important in the planning of biventricular repair From May 1995 to September 1996, 7 patients underwent biventricular repair for DORV with remote ventricular septal defect. There were 5 males and 2 (tamales. Age at operation varied from 2 to 9 years(mean 3.4$\pm$ 2.7years). Preoperative diagnostic assessment was made by two-dimensional echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Ventricular septal defect was perimembranous inlet type in all patients. Associated cardiac anomalies were pulmonary atresia in two, pulmonary stenosis in five and tricuspid chordal attachment to zonal septum in five. The operations were performed intraventricular repair and pulmonary enlargement in two, REV operation in two, and Rastelli operation in three. There was no early postoperative deaths and complications. The follow-up period war from 1 month to 18mon1hs, averaging 10: 6.1 months. In the past, we considered the Fontal operation indicative as primary choice when DORV was associated with abnormal tricuspid chordal attachment to the zonal septum, but now we believe that biventricular repair is feasible for those cases by making conal flap or reattachment method. Biventricular repair has theoretic advantages because it estabilishes normal anatomy and physiology, and it was concluded that the precise preoperative evaluation using both echocardiography and cardiac catheterization was essential to the successful surgery.

IDGPS(Inverted Differential Global Positioning System) is one of technique improving the accuracy of GPS positioning and is mostly used for tracking an automatic vehicle. In the IDGPS, the user send it’s GPS position and related satellite information to dispatcher, and the corrections are made at the dispatcher to get corrected user position. IDGPS suffered correction degradation as the baseline become large. This problem is resolved using NIDGPS(Network IDGPS). As the experimental results are demonstrated, the improvement of position accuracy using IDGPS and NIDGPS is verified.

The precision aerial application of small farms, such as paddy, upland and orchard fields using agricultural unmanned helicopters became a new paradigm. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of a GPS module and algorithm, controlling drift of agricultural helicopter by the crosswind and maintaining the position for emergency landing. Purpose of the drift control, of which an algorithm works while hovering is related with the emergency sequence that coping with abnormal conditions of rotorcraft system. However, the inertial attitude control cannot detect a drifting motion of fuselage moving at the constant velocity, thus the crosswind takes the helicopter away from the landing position. Performance of the drift control module, based on the GPS that a hovering position did not deviate within 5m in diameter, were tested and evaluated. Initially, the reaction against a disturbing gust wind was sensitive, soon the helicopter maintained its locking position and azimuth within 5m in diameter. It was, however, difficult for the helicopter to recognize the swaying and nodding, the some deviation was expected due to the discrepancy characteristics of the GPS signal. The performance of the drift control proved the effectiveness of the module to maintain the position against an unintended drift during the emergency landing or hovering.

Few ovservation can influence in model building procedure and can dominate the least squares fit of a selected model. An observation, however, may not have the same impact on all aspects of regression analysis. We introduce a statistic which measures the impact of individual cases on the overall goodness-of-fit statistics. We also propose an influence measure for variable selection problem. The property of uncorrelatedness between fitted values and residuals has been used to develop the influence measure. The performance of the measures are used to develop the influence measure. The performance of the measures are compared with other widely used influence measures by the analysis of real data.

We have fabricated and analyzed the lasing characteristics of 1.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ Spot-Size-Converter (SSC) integrated Fabry-Perot (FP) laser diodes, which are very promising light sources for optical subscriber networks. SSC-LDs has been developed by BIB (buttjoint-built-in) coupling and selective MOVPE growth. High-performances were achieved such as the slope efficiency from the SSC facet of 0.23-0.32 mW/mA, the full-width at the half maximum of the far-field pattern (FFP) of 9.5$^{\circ}$~12.3$^{\circ}$, the alignment tolerances of $\pm$2.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ and $\pm$2.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ within the extra-coupling loss of 1 dB for the vertical and parallel directions, respectively. These experimental results were compared to theoretical ones in order to clarify the operational problems and give a good design direction of the fabricated SSC-LDs. It was revealed that an asymmetric output power from the facets, an irrelevancy of FFP and the waveguide structure around SSC facet region, and a poor temperature characteristics were originated from the scattering in the BIB and SSC sections and SHB effect in the active section for the first time.t time.

Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) is a signal processing system for removing unwanted echo signals in teleconference and hands-free communication. Least mean square (LMS) algorithm is one of the adaptive echo cancellation algorithms and it has been most attractive because of its simplicity and robustness. However, the convergence properties of the LMS algorithm degrade with highly correlated input signals such as speech. For this reason, transform-domain adaptive filtering algorithm was introduced to decorrelate the colored input samples by using the orthogonal transform matrix such as DCT, DFT and then LMS adaptive filtering process is applied. In this paper, we propose a MLT domain adaptive echo canceller base on the MLT (Modulated lapped Transform) orthogonal transform matrix. The proposed algorithm achieves high decorrelation efficiency and fast convergence speed via modulated lapped transform of size 2NXN instead of NXN unitary transform such as DCT, DFT, Hadamad and it is applied to the acoustical echo cancellation system. Form the computer simulation with both synthesis and real speech, the proposed MLT domain adaptive echo canceller shows approximately twice faster convergence speed and 20∼30 ㏈ ERLE improvements over the DCT frequency domain acoustic echo cancellation system.

Human-powered self-generating devices have been attractive with its operation characteristic independent from outer environment such as weather condition and wind speed. However, conventional self-generators have low electric power output due to their weakly-coupled electromagnetic structure. More importantly, rotary crank motion which is usually adopted by conventional self-generator to generate electricity requires specific skeletal muscles to maintain large torque circular motion and consequently, causes fatigue on those muscles before it can generate enough amount of electricity for any practical application. Without improvement in electric power output and usability, the human-powered self-generator could not be used in everyday life. This study aims to develop a human-powered self-generator which realized a strong electromagnetic coupling in a closed-loop tubular structure (hula-hoop shape) for easy and steady long-term driving as well as larger electric output. The performance and usability of the developed human-powered generator is verified through experimental comparison with a commercial one. Additionally, human workload which is a key element of a human-powered generator but not often considered elsewhere, is estimated based on metabolic energy expenditure measured respiratory gas analyzer. Further study will focus on output and portability enhancement, which can contribute to the continuous power supply of mobile equipments.
