This paper presents a CMOS TIQ flash A/D converter which operates very fast compared to other types of A/D converters due to its parallel architecture. The output resolution of designed A/D converter is 6-bit. In order to reduce the power consumption and chip area of conventional flash A/D converter, TIQ based flash A/D converter is proposed, which uses the advantage of the structure of CMOS transistors. The length and width of transistors of TIQ were determined with HSPICE simulation. To speed up the ultra-high speed flash A/D converter, the Fat Tree Encoder technique is used. The TIQ A/D converter was designed with full custom method. The chip's maximum power consumption was 38.45mW at 1.8V, and the operating speed of simulation was 2.7 GSPS.

A time scale modification method yielding rate-modified speech while conserving the characteristic of speech was implemented in real-time using a goneral purpose digital signal processor. Time scale modification changed pronunciation speed only, producing a time difference between the input signal and the modified signal, making it impossible to implement it in real-time. In this thesis, a system was implemented to remove the time difference between the input and modified signals. Speech signals slowed down or speeded up by a physical time scale modification method, such as adjusting the motor speed of the cassett tape recorder, was used as the input signal. Physical modification that controled only the inter speed of the cassette tape player distorted the pitch period of the original speech. In this study, a real-time system was implemented so that the pitch-distorted speech was reconstructed back to the original by fractional sampling pitch shifting using an FIR filter, and this signal was time scale modified to match the cassette tape recorder motor speed using SOLA time-scale medification. In experiments using speech signals medifiedby the proposed method, results obtained using a 16-bit resolution ADSP2101 processor and using computer simulations employing floating point operations showed about the same average frame signal-to-noise ratio of about 20 dB.

In this paper a method for compensating for thp performance degradation or automatic speech recognition (ASR) is proposed. which is mainly caused by speaking rate variation. Before the new method is proposed. quantitative analysis of the performance of an HMM-based ASR system according to speaking rate is first performed. From this analysis, significant performance degradation was often observed in the rapidly speaking speech signals. A quantitative measure is then introduced, which is able to represent speaking rate. Time scale modification (TSM) is employed to compensate the speaking rate difference between input speech signals and training speech signals. Finally, a method for compensating the performance degradation caused by speaking rate variation is proposed, in which TSM is selectively employed according to speaking rate. By the results from the ASR experiments devised for the 10-digits mobile phone number, it is confirmed that the error rate was reduced by 15.5% when the proposed method is applied to the high speaking rate speech signals.

본 논문에서는 비동기 프로토콜 상으로 데이터를 암호화하여 전송할 때 발생하는 모의 제어문자에 대해 제어접두문자를 추가하지 않고 일정한 변환만 하여 송신하므로써 데이터의 길어짐을 방지하고 전체 통신 속도를 높이는 문자 변환 방법을 제시하였다. 이러한 변환을 위해 전송 데이터의 유효 범위를 가정하고 이 범위를 벗어나지 않도록 하였으며 실험을 통하여 이 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 통신속도가 향상됨을 보이고 암호화된 데이터의 임의성을 확인하므로써 암호화에 문제가 없음을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 웨이브릿 변환과 프랙탈 변환을 함께 적용하여 강인하고 효율적인 워터마킹 방법을 제안하였다. 종래의 방법과 같이 프랙탈 변환만을 이용할 경우 강인함에 비하여 속도가 느리다는 단점이 있다. 크기가 큰 원래 이미지를 프랙탈 변환하지 않고 상대적으로 크기가 적은 워터마크 이미지를 프랙탈 변환함으로서 변환에 걸리는 시간을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 웨이브릿 변환 영역에서 임계치에 의해 삽입에 이용할 계수를 선택적으로 사용함으로써 적절한 대역에 삽입하여 시각적인 왜곡을 최소화 할 수 있다.

The execution speed is not an important factor for Java programming language when implementing small size application program which is executed on the web browser, but it becomes a serious limitation when the huge-size programs are implemented. To overcome this problem, the various research is conducted for translating the Bytecode into the target code which can be implemented in the specific processor by using classical compiling methods. In this research, we have designed and realized an intermediate code translator for the native code generation system with which we can directly generate i386 code from Bytecode to improve the execution speed of Java application programs. The intermediate code translator generates the register-based intermediate code from *.class files which are the intermediate code of Java.

The efficiency of a catalytic converter depends on the flow distribution across a system's chemically active substrate. If irregularities or non-uniform flow patterns exist, the system's conversion efficiency decreases, whereas the manufacturing cost increases. Therefore, it is important to analyze the internal flow of a catalytic converter. In this study, flow pattern measurements along the minor axis were recorded at the mid and exit planes of a ceramic honeycomb catalytic converter at flow rates of 37.8 l/s and 94.4 l/s. Flow distributions of the measurement plans were compared with an automotive company's computed velocity profiles. Measurements along the minor axis showed uneven velocity profiles. The ${\upsilon}$-velocity components between the honeycomb bricks were small but somewhat erratic opposite the intake side of the converter, however, they became flatter in measurements recorded near the intake entrance. For almost all velocity values, the computer model suggested velocities greater than the measured values.

비디오 압축 기법에서 움직임 추정 (Motion Estimation)은 매우 중요한 부분을 차지하는데, 그것은 움직임 추정이 화질과 인코딩 시간에 직접적으로 영향을 미치기 때문이다. 가장 기본적인 움직임 추정 기법은 전역 탐색 기법 (Full Search Algorithm, FSA)인데, 이는 가장 좋은 화질을 보여주긴 하지만 매우 많은 계산량을 필요로 한다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 좋은 화질을 유지하면서도 계산량을 낮추기 위한 많은 고속 탐색 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 이 논문에서는 고속 탐색 알고리듬 중 하드웨어 구현 시 많은 이점을 가진 1비트 변환 알고리듬 (One-bit Transform-based Motion Estimation, 1BT)을 소개하고 1비트 변환 알고리듬의 방법에 있어서 기존의 1비트 변환 알고리듬의 PSNR을 유지하면서 좀 더 빠른 속도로 인코딩이 가능한 커널 및 알고리듬을 제시한다. 실험결과에 따르면 우리가 제안한 알고리듬은 기존의 1비트 변환 알고리듬과 비슷한 PSNR을 유지하면서 속도가 향상된 것을 볼 수 있었다.

This research focuses on the development of a fast datum transformation model to be used in GIS that utilizes real-time data transformation. Instance, when a GIS data constructed according to a datum is conformed to another datum, instead of transforming the axes of the original data, the data is transformed right before the results are reflected on the monitor. In this research, the prospects of calculating transformation parameters for every grid cells on the area based on two-dimensional conformal transformation model in order to decrease real-time datum transformation time while maintaining a high accuracy has been investigated. Research results showed that for a fixed area, the accuracies of the two-dimensional conformal transformation and the three-dimensional datum transformation, which requires more computing time, were almost equal and fast transformation speed, high accuracy real-time datum transformation is made feasible by implementing the grid-divided two-dimensional conformal transformation model.

DV(Digital Video) 영상 압축 방식에서 MPEG-2로 변환할 때 처리단계를 줄이기 위하여 DCT 영역에서 변환하였다. DV 방식의 색차신호 포맷인 4:1:1에서 4:2:2로 변환하고, 2-4-8 DCT 모드를 변환할 때 행렬을 이용하여 변환함으로써 중간과정을 줄였으며, DCT 영역에서 MPEG-2의 율 제어를 구현하였다. DV에서 만든 DCT 계수를 이용하여, 단계적으로 움직임 추정을 함으로써 전역탐색 블록 매칭 방식보다 처리 속도를 개선하였다.
