생체신호 기반 인터페이스 기술이란 근전도 및 뇌파와 같은 인위적으로 발생 가능한 생체 신호를 이용하여, 노약자나 장애인이 컴퓨터를 이용하는 데 있어서의 인터페이스(Human-Computer Interface)로 사용하거나 휠체어 등의 재활기기 구동 제어를 위한 명령어를 생성하기 위한 기술을 의미한다. 생체신호 기반 인터페이스는 센서를 몸에 부착하여 사용하며 사용자의 의도에 의해 자연스럽게 생성된 생체신호를 이용하기 때문에 가상현실, 착용형 컴퓨터나 지체 장애인용 인터페이스로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 생체신호 기반의 인터페이스에 관한 국내외 기술 동향과 현재 개발중인 HCI 시스템에 대한 개요에 대해 논하고자한다.

본 논문에서는 배경과 색 정보를 이용하여 얼굴을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 영상에서의 얼굴 추출에 관한 방법에는 칼라 영상을 가정한 방법, 농담 영상을 가정한 방법, 얼굴의 회전에 덜 민감한 방법, 복잡한 배경에서의 얼굴 추출 방법 등이 연구되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 배경생성을 통해 물체를 구분하고 칼라 정보(HSI 칼라 모델)를 이용하여 얼굴을 추출한다. 배경생성은 각 픽셀 위치에서의 밝기 값을 장시간 평균하거나 혹은 장시간 누적된 밝기 값들 중 최빈 값을 사용하는데 이 방법은 영상 내 물체의 이동이 정체가 별로 없이 원활한 곳에서는 질 좋은 배경을 생성 할 수 있다. 하지 만 배경의 밝기 값을 누적하는 과정에서 물체의 정지상황이 장시간 반영될 경우 배경 영상의 질이 낮아지는 난점이 있다. 따라서, 배경생성 과정에 하이레벨 정보인 물체의 탐지 결과를 이용하여 움직임이 없는 부분에 대해서만 배경생성에 반영함으로써 좀 더 나은 배경을 생성할 수 있다. 이렇게 생성된 배경을 이용해서 입력 영상과의 배경차이를 하게되면 영상 내에서 배경이 아닌 모든 물체를 추출할 수 있다. 물체를 추출 한 후 얼굴 색깔과 유사한 칼라 영역을 분리하고 추출된 물체의 윗 부분에 얼갈이 위치한다는 가정 하에 일괄을 추출한다.

A new technique for generating millimeter-wave signals from a semiconductor laser is presented. The method multiples the signal frequency by using optical injection of short optical pulses at a sub-harmonic of the cavity round-trip frequency to drive the laser oscillating at its resonant frequency. A 32GHz signal is generated using a multisection semiconductor laser operated under continuous wave conditions, by injection optical pulses at a repetition rate equal to the fourth subhamonic(8GHz). The generated millimeter-wave signal exhibits a large submamonic suppression ratio(＞17 dB), large frequency detuning range (>300 MHz) low levels of phase-noise(-77.5 dBc/Hz), and large locking (>400 MHz)

Generating diagnostic test patterns for combinational circuits remain to be a very difficult problem. For example, ISCAS85 c7552 benchmark circuit has 100 million fault pairs, Thus, we need more sophisticated algorithm to get more information. A new diagnostic algorithm for test pattern generation is suggested and implemented in this paper. DIATEST algorithm based on PODEM is also implemented for comparison to the new algorithm. These two algorithms have been applied to ISCAS85 benchmark circuits. Experimental results show that (1) both algorithms achieve fault pair coverage over 99%, (2) total test length of the new algorithm is much shorter than that of DIATEST, and (3) the new algorithm gives much more information used for making diagnostic dictionary, diagnostic decision tree or diagnostic test system despite DIATEST is faster than the new algorithm.

For detection and parameter estimation, a multicarrier radar should discriminate a channel containing jamming signal and either leave it out or regenerate jammer suppressed target signal. To discriminate jamming channels, we use the angular spectrum of an eigenvector that embeds target echoes and jamming signals. We propose a criteria to discriminate the jammer channels and its basis through mathematical analysis. Moreover, we show some procedures to regenerate the jammer suppressed target echoes. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through simulation results showing improved performance in terms of direction of arrival(DOA) estimation.

Avionics Intercom performs communication between pilot, co-pilot and crews in aircraft. In the case of developing intercom in the aircraft modification development project, additional communication equipment or avionics equipment is configured to link the existing intercom with the headsets. Newly designed intercom needs a configuration that receives an aircraft headset microphone and transmits a microphone signal to the existing intercom, and these signals are required to perform signal quality above a certain level. To satisfy these requirements, microphone transmitter circuit has designed and tested, but quality factors of signal were not suitable. In order to avoid the issue, eliminate transmitter and apply signal bridge circuit considered with load effect, and it meets requirements. In this paper, the test results for the signal quality for each configuration are reviewed.

In this paper, We have proposed an Heterodyne technique to generate millimeter-wave signal. Microwave signals in cellular broadband mobile communication networks and distributed networks can favorably be generated and distributed by optical techniques. In principle, these techniques have already been investigated for optical control of phase-array antennas, characterization of photo-detector and phase locking of millimeter-wave oscillators and now being applied to wireless communications. The generation and transmission of millimeter-wave radio signals by optical means is of interest for future pico-cell broadband mobile communication system, especially for systems operating at frequencies of 300GHz.

This paper presents a new method to synthesize timed asynchronous circuits directly from the specification without generating a state graph. The synthesis procedure begins with a deterministic signal transition graph specification with timing constraints. First, a timing analysis extracts the timed concurrency and timed causality relations between any two signal transitions. Then, a hazard-free implementation under the timing constraints is synthesized by constructing a precedence graph and finding paths in the graph. The major result of this work is that the method does not suffer from the state explosion problem, achieves significant reductions in synthesis time, and generates circuits that have nearly the same area as compared to previous methods.
