This paper proposed a new time adapted threshold using the standard deviations of Wavelet coefficients after Wavelet transform by frame scale. The time adapted threshold is set up using the sum of standard deviations of Wavelet coefficient in level 3 approximation and weighted level 1 detail. Level 3 approximation coefficients represent the voiced sound with low frequency and level 1 detail coefficients represent the unvoiced sound with high frequency. After reducing noise by soft thresholding with the proposed time adapted threshold, there are still residual noises in silent interval. To reduce residual noises in silent interval, a detection algorithm of silent interval is proposed. From simulation results, it is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm improves SNR and MSE performance more than Wavelet transform and Wavelet packet transform does.

본 논문은 U-Health 장치 인터페이싱을 위하여 표면 근전도를 이용한 손동작 특징들의 모델링 알고리즘에 대하여 제안하였다. 지금까지 연구에서는 표면 근전도를 측정하기 위하여 전완의 여러 부위에서 신호를 측정하였지만 휴대용 U-Health 장치들의 특성상 센서를 부착 할 수 있는 공간이 한정 되어있기 때문에 한 채널당 손동작의 인식률이 높아야하고 착용하기 편한 위치예서 신호를 측정해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 손목 근처의 수지신근(finger extensor)과 소지신근(extensor digiti minimi) 사이에 생체신호 센서를 부착하는 것을 제안했으며, 적은 수의 센서에서도 손동작에 따른 충분한 근전도 패턴을 구분해 내기 위하여 3차원 공간상에서 시간과 스케일 정보를 분석할 수 있는 다해상도 웨이블릿을 이용하였다. 정밀한 근전도 분석을 위하여 모 웨이블릿을 신경 신호의 활동전위(action potential)와 가장 유사한 형태를 가지고 있는 Daubechies 4 (db4)로 선택하였고, 이렇게 웨이블릿 분석을 통하여 1차원 신호를 16레벨로 나누어 각 신호에 대하여 에너지를 200 ms 간격으로 평가함으로서 7가지 손동작 인식을 위한 패턴 모델을 구하였다.

In this paper, we developed optical dosimetry system with a plastic scintillator, a commercial 50 mm, f1.8 lens, and a commercial high-sensitivity CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) camera. And, the correction processors of vignetting, geometrical distortion and scaling were established. Using the developed system, we can measured a percent depth dose, a beam profile and a dose linearity for 6 MV medical LINAC (Linear Accelerator). As results, the optically measured percent depth dose was well matched with the measured percent depth dose by ion-chamber within 2% tolerance. And the determined flatness was 2.8%. We concluded that the optical dosimetry system was sufficient for application of absorbed dose monitoring during radiation therapy.

In the present study, catalytic combustion of hydrogen-air premixture in a millimeter scale monolith coated with Pt catalyst was investigated. As the combustor size decreases, the heat loss increases in proportion with the inverse of the scale of combustion chamber and combustion efficiency decreases in a conventional type of combustor. Combustion reaction assisted by catalyst can reduce the heat loss by decreasing the reaction temperature at which catalytic conversion takes place. Another advantage of catalytic combustion is that ignition is not required. Platinum was coated by incipient wetness method on a millimeter scale monolith with cell size of $1{\times}1mm$. Using this monolith as the core of the reaction chamber, temperatures were recorded at various locations along the flow direction. Burnt gas was passed to a gas chromatography system to measure the hydrogen content after the reaction. The measurements were made at various volume flow rate of the fuel-air premixture. The gas chromatography results showed the reaction was complete at all the test conditions and the reacting species penetrated the laminar boundary layer at the honeycomb and made contact with the catalyst coated surface. At all the measuring locations, the record showed monotonous increase of temperature during the measurement duration. And the temperature profile showed that the peak temperature is reached at the point nearest to the gas inlet and decreasing temperature along the flow direction.

The represented Design Language have to include design meaning by functions in Interior. It also is able to easy and quick to understand in conversation for the design proposal. In this study, 6 stages suggest for the basic forming image in Interior Design. Those are form, line, space, color, material and principles of design. And essential image language arranged by preceding research. The fundamental 6 elements of space are used for explanation with the minimum method to make consumer understand through some image. Image has the communication function as a visual conversation in Space Design. The purpose of using the image language is the exchange into communication by written visual image. In order to it is necessary to delivery correct meaning of Interior Design for the understand between consumer and designer for the suggestion through images. Therefore, making categories for representation-language from image features of interior design is a important research with the value to share the spatial pattern. It will be expected to add the spatial Image language by processing with new trend.

Existing quality adaptation schemes are useful for improving network stability in a congested network, but these schemes do not guarantee the quality of experience on video streaming due to the frequent variations in playback quality for a streaming service. In this paper, we propose a network-adaptive quality adaptation scheme to guarantee the quality of experience on SVC(Scalable Video Coding) video streaming. The proposed scheme estimates the available bandwidth by bandwidth measurement scheme using media characteristic, and then smoothly adjusts the quality level of SVC video stream according to the estimated bandwidth. Through the simulation, we prove that our scheme guarantees the quality of experience for video streaming by minimizing quality variation.

A defect in an image is a set of pixels forming an irregular shape. Since a defect, in most cases, is not easy to be modeled mathematically, the defect detection problem still resides in a research area. If a given image, however, composed by certain patterns, a defect can be detected by the fact that a non-defect area should be explained by another patch in terms of a rotation, translation, and noise. In this paper, therefore, the defect detection method for a repeated multi-patterned image is proposed. The proposed defect detection method is composed of three steps. First step is the interest point detection step, second step is the selection step of a appropriate patch size, and the last step is the decision step. The proposed method is illustrated using SEM images of semiconductor wafer samples.

In this paper, we propose an advanced Ka-band satellite HD broadcasting system using scalable video coding technology. As already known, it is not so easy to achieve reasonable link availability on Ka-band because of the rain-attenuation effect, and in case of HD broadcasting service it's more difficult. To overcome that problem, we propose an hierarchical broadcasting system based on H.264 SVC technology. In this paper, we suggest a few types of system scenario to realize the concept. Those scenarios are including DVB-S and DVB-S2 and spatially scalable video stream is the source stream in all cases.

In this paper, a new dynamic D-flip-flop which does not suffer from charge sharing and glitch problems is proposed. And a dual-modulus divide-by-128/129 prescaler has been designed with the proposed D-flip-flops using a 0.6$0.6{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Eleven-transistor architecture enables it to operate at the higher frequency range and the transistor merging technique contributes to the reduction of power consumption. At 5V supply voltage, the simulated maximum operating frequency and the current consumption of the divide-by-128/129 prescaler are 1.97GHz and 7.453mA, respectively.

Several factors of the efficient combustion process are shape of combustion chamber, position of spark plug, turbulence flow and so on. the shape of combustion chamber and position of spark plug are constrained to geometrically, and then it could not make a change the shape easily. But the turlence flow in combustion chamber have a great influence on combustion phenomena, and which is much easier to control relatively. And since characteristics of turbulence flow would be very important to the stability of combustion and performances, This study is also essential to future engine-low emission and lean burn engine. This paper shows that the visualization of the turbulence flow of single cylinder engine by using 2way, $45^{\circ}$ inclined and 2 channel hot wire probe through the park plug hole. We also study the characteristics of turbulence flow by means of ensemble averaged mean velocity, turvulence intensity and integral length scale.
