간은 인체의 생명을 유지하고 성장할 수 있도록 하는 영양섭취와 매우 밀접한 관계를 가진 중요한 장기이다. 이러한 간의 중요성에도 불구하고 현재 우리나라의 간암 발병률이 세계에서 가장 높은 수치를 기록하고 있으며 이에 따라 간암을 조기 진단하고 예방할 수 있는 방법의 중요성이 확대되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영상 의학적 검사 방법 중 하나인 CT 촬영으로 획득된 조영 증강 CT 영상에서 간 영역과 간 종양 영역을 정확히 검출하고 간 종양의 악성도를 판별할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 흉부로부터 5mm 간격으로 약 $40\;{\sim}\;50$장 정도로 촬영한 조영 증강 CT 영상에서 명암도와 명암의 분포도를 이용한 양자화 기법과 장기들의 위치 및 형태학적 특징정보, 그리고 흉부와 복부 양방향으로 인접한 CT 영상들의 정보를 분석하여 간 영역을 검출한다. 간 종양 영역은 과혈관성 종양의 특징을 분석하고 간 영역의 검출 방법에 적용하여 추출한다. 추출된 간 종양 영역은 퍼지 기반 SOM 알고리즘을 제안하여 간 종양의 악성도를 분석하는데 적용한다. 제안된 퍼지 기반 SOM 알고리즘은 SOM의 이웃 반경을 동적으로 조정하는데 퍼지 제어 기법을 적용하여 기존의 SOM 알고리즘보다 종양의 악성 정도를 분류하는 정확성을 개선하였다. 제시된 간 영역과 간 종양 검출 및 분석 방법의 결과와 전문의가 진단한 결과를 비교 분석한 결과, 기존의 간 영역 및 간 종양 영역 검출 방법보다 정확성이 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

An experimental real-time hybrid method, which implements the wind response control of a building structure with only a two-way TLMD, is proposed and verified through a shaking table test. The building structure is divided into the upper experimental TLMD and the lower numerical structural part. The shaking table vibrates the TLMD with the response calculated from the numerical substructure, which is subjected to the excitations of the measured interface control force at its top story and an wind-load input at its base. The results show that the conventional method can be replaced by the proposed methodology with a simple installation and accuracy for evaluating the control performance of a TLMD.

The IPTV which was commercialized and is being serviced to customers at present has a complicated GUI (Graphical User Interface) to provide two-way services and a remote control containing more than 40 buttons unlike the conventional TV. Accordingly, the remote control becomes one of the causes that make the usability of the IPTV worsen. In this paper, we suggest a LED button guide system as a solution to improve a usability of the IPTV, and analyze the effects of the interface obtained from the user evaluation on the user action.

The gain-clamped EDFA has been developed to eliminate the output power change of WDM surviving channels to occur with added or dropped channels, which degrades the performance of WDM optical network. It maintains the constant gain of surviving channels when WDM channels are added or dropped in a network amplifying node. In this paper, the hi-directionally pumped gain-clamped EDFA is implemented to compensate the change of the input power by a lasing. The results show that the lasing of a short wavelength and backward propagation is the optimal condition to minimize the transient response of surviving channels in terms of the overshoot and gain saturation due to the inhomogeneous broadening effect.

A novel bidirectional magnetic wireless communication system is proposed in this study. This system provides the communication capability between the source and load sides by high-frequency signal while wireless power is transferred. Contrary to the conventional wireless communication systems using complex IC circuit and active components, the proposed system is simply composed of passive components. It is practical and beneficial for environmental robustness, cost effectiveness, and simple implementation. The detailed static analysis of the proposed system for power and communication lines is established. The proposed system is experimentally verified, and results show that a 0.1 voltage gain for communication line is obtained while a 2.0 voltage gain for the power line is achieved. The proposed system is adequate for practical applications as it allows the inductive power transfer system to wirelessly and easily communicate between the source and load sides.

A new method for the current ripple reduction of a three-phase interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converter is proposed. The converter used in this study operates in discontinuous mode to minimize the switching losses. All the switches are turned on at ZVS and ZCS conditions, and turned off at ZVS condition. The charging and discharging power of the battery is controlled by varying the switching frequency while maintaining the discontinuous mode operation. A 3 kW 20 kHz power converter is designed and implemented. Simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed method. The proposed control method can be used to reduce the battery ripple current significantly.

This paper presents a portable power supply equipped with a battery charger. The proposed system can be operated separatedly distinguishing between DC/AC and AC/DC function. The former uses a battery and the latter a line voltage as the power source to operate on an inverter and a battery charger, respectively. To keep the output voltage being sinusoidal and to have the high dynamic performances even In the cases of load variations, a proper control method is adapted. The operational principles and analysis are explained in detail. The validity of the proposed system is proved from the experimental results.

In DC micro-grid system energy storage systems (ESS) are responsible for storing energy and balancing power. Also, control target of the bidirectional DC-DC converter(BDC) for ESS should be changed depending on the operating mode. During the grid connected mode, the BDC controls the battery current or voltage. When a grid fault occurs, the BDC should change the control target to regulate the DC-bus. The BDC with conventional control method may experience large transient state during the mode change. This paper proposes a control method of BDC for ESS. The proposed control method is able to provide autonomous and seamless mode transfer by a variable current limiter. To validate the proposed concept, simulation results using PSIM and experimental results from a 2kW prototype are provided.

In this paper, we implement a non-time-varying transfer function of the duty ratio to improve the control characteristics in a control system that Input voltage and the output voltage is varied, DC / DC converters for bi-directional charging. When control is performed with using controller gain of conventional design, characteristics of the control is varied to fluctuations of the input voltage. The proposed method is the equivalently removing method for duty ratio in entire control block, by voltage controller gain is changed for inverse of the duty ratio. The proposed non-time-varying duty ratio transfer function is applied to DC / DC converter for bi-directional charging. In this paper, feasibility and superiority is verified through PSIM simulations and experiments.
