In two-dimensional discrete cosine transform(DCT) coding, the measurements of the distributions of the transform coefficients are important because a better approximation yields a smaller mean square distorition. This paper presents the results of distribution tests which indicate that the statistics of the AC coefficients are well approximated to a generalized Gaussian distribution whose shape parameter is 0.6. Furthermore, from a simulation of the DCT coding, it was shown that the above approximation yields a higher experimental SNR and a better agreement between theory and simulation than the Gaussian or Laplacian assumptions.

As it is well appreciated plate forming by line heating takes an important role in ship production process. The paper deals with the development of line heating simulator which can produce the resultant deformation due to line heating in a few minute adn with which user can see the result graphically. For the present purpose mechanical modelling is adopted which can explicitly represent the physical resultant of line heating. In developing the present line heating simulator several program modules are integrated by adopting GUI concept such that the simulator can produce resultant deformation with keeping high accuracy. Application example is illustrated for the twisted shape surface which can be frequently seen in ship and offshore structures.

A programmable A/D converter is designed with 8 N and P channel MOSFETs, respectively. In order to observe linear programmability of the EEPROM device during programming mode, a cell is developed with a 1.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ double poly CMOS fabrication process in MOSIS. It is observed that the high resolution, of say 10m Volt, is valid in the range 1.25volts to 2volts. The experimental result is used for simulating the programmable 8 bit A/D converter with Hspice. The A/D converter is demonstrated to consume low power, 37㎽ by utilizing a programming operation. In addition, the converter is attained at the conversion frequency of 333 MHz.

The visual sensory information in physical environments can induce or reduce occupants' stress. In healthcare settings, positive environmental stimulations can promote patient well-being by reducing their stress: poor health environments work against a patient's health. Changing the color in a patient room is an inexpensive process and thus finding better colors for healthcare settings is a cost effective method of improving healing environments. Color may have important implications for pediatric patients, but the investigation of Korean populations has been non-existent. The purpose of this study was to investigate Korean pediatric patients' color preferences for patient room design. The color preferences from 50 Korean pediatric patients were recorded and investigated for gender effects. A simulation method was used because of its reliability and feasibility, allowing for investigating the value of color in real contexts and controlling confounding variables. The overall color preferences from Korean pediatric patients showed that they preferred blue the most and white the least. Gender differences were found in red and purple. Girls preferred red and purple more than boys. The results from this study can help healthcare providers and designers better understand appropriate colors for Korean pediatric patient populations.

Although there are numerous studies that address the problem of optimal machine grouping and part family classification for cellular manufacturing, little research has been reported that studies the conditions where cellular manufacturing is appropriate. This paper, in order to evaluate and compare the job shop with the GT cellular shop, the performance of those shops were simulated by using SIMAN. We tested the effect of independent variables including changes of product demands, intercell flow level, group setup time, processing time variability, variety of material handling systems, and job properties (ratio of processing time and material handling time). And also performance measures (dependent variables), such as machine utilization, mean flow time, average waiting time, and throughput rate, are discussed. Job shop model and GT cellular shop written in SIMAN simulation language were used in this study. These systems have sixteen machines which are aggregated as five machine stations using the macro feature of SIMAN. The results of this research help to better understand the effect of production factors on the performance of cellular manufacturing systems and to identify some of the necessary conditions required to make these systems perform better than traditional job shops. Therefore, this research represents one more step towards the characterization of shops which may benefit from cellular manufacturing.

An approximation algorithm has been obtained to analyze the network of single server tandem queues with a finite length. In the queueing network with a finite queue length, the blocking which is mutually dependent, occure due to the limitation of the queue length. Thus, it is difficults to analyze such a queueing network. In this paper each queue has been regarded as the independent M/M/1/K system to analyze the queueing network with the blocking, which is based on the assumption that an arrival rate to the present station is increased by the blocking of the following stations. The performance measures, such as state probability, average queue length and tha waiting time, can be easily obtained using the proposed algorithm. In order to justify this approximation algorithm, comparison of the results of this algorithm with those of state transition simultaneous equations has been made an verified with computer simulation.

Subsea cable systems have a large information transmission capacity and play an important role in domestic and global information networks. However since the cables are under harsh marine environment, they are exposed to various hazards with high potential risks of damage resulting in serious economic loss. In this research a computer simulation program based on the finite difference algorithm was developed. The program is able to simulate two dimensional dynamic behaviour of a submarine cable during its laying. In order to verify the numerical results, they are compared to analytical results, showing a good agreement between the two results.

For a one link flexible arm control, quadratic optimal control is applied to the dynamic modilling which is derived from an assumed mode method. For the quadratic optimal control technique, the full state feedback must be obtained for closing the control loop, but because some of the states in the flexible system(e.g. the rate of change of the time dependent variables of the mode shapes) can not be directly measured, state estimator is necessary to achieve the practical implementation of the optimal controller. When disturbances and measurement noise occur, stochastic approach must be applied to estimating the states of the system. Kalman Filter is used as a stste estimator. Through the simulation, the flexible system with state estimator is compared with the flexible system assuming that all the states can be measured.

The optical heads as the key parts of digital audio/video players are applied extensively from general household electric appliances to computer memory or game apparatuses, and the demand of them tends to be increased according to the extension of optical medium market. In this paper, the 2-axis actuator, the key component for focus servo and tracking servo of the optical head is designed as a type of the cantilever suspended by 4 wires. The design propriety is verified through its simulation and the characteristic analysis of its mock-ups. The other factors which influence the performance of 2-axis actuators besides the design factors of them, are also verified through the mock-up analysis.

A neat prefect stable random access protocol for a broadcast channel,the distributed queuing random access protocol(DQRAP)is presented and evaluated.The DQRAP prootcol utilizes minisolts to provide termaty chan-nel feedback and two distributed queues to:9a) resolve contention and (b) to schedute the transmission of messages.Three minislots are sufficient to resolve collisions faster than the tranmission times of all inboled mecages.Three minislots are suffcient to resolve collisions faster than the tranmission times of all inbolved arrivals when ternary minislot feedback is used.Modelingand simulation indicate that the DQRAP protocol, using as few as three minislits,achives a performance level which approaches that of hypothetical perfect cheduling protocol,ie,the M/D/I system,with respect to propagation delay,thus offers the potential of improved performance over current protocols in satellite,metropolitan and packet radio networks.
