최근 식물성 기름으로부터 생산된 바이오디젤의 보급이 활발해지면서, 그 원료의 안정적 확보에 대한 어려움과 원료가격 상승의 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 대안으로 다양한 종류의 기름이 검토되고 있으며, 그 중 하나가 축산 폐유지를 이용한 바이오디젤의 생산이다. 그러나 축산 폐유지로부터 생산된 바이오디젤은 저온유동성이 열악하여 개선이 필요하다. 축산 폐유지 바이오디젤의 저온필터막힘점은 $6{\sim}8^{\circ}C$로 국내 동절기 품질 기준 $0^{\circ}C$ 이하를 만족하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 축산 폐유지로부터 생산된 바이오디젤의 열악한 저온특성을 개선하기 위해 저온필터막힘점 개선 첨가제 6종을 사용하여 각각의 첨가제 혼합에 의한 저온유동성 개선 효과를 분석하였다. 각각의 첨가제를 1,000 ~ 5,000ppm 범위에서 폐돈지 및 폐우지 바이오디젤에 첨가하였다. 그 결과, Wintron을 제외한 나머지 첨가제는 폐돈지 바이오디젤의 저온필터막힘점을 최저 $0^{\circ}C$까지 개선할 수 있었다. 하지만 폐우지 바이오디젤의 경우, 첨가제에 의한 저온유동성 개선의 효과는 매우 적었다.

Recently, the interest on exposure to radiation is rising. The radiation exposure of mammography is higher in absorbed dose than of X-ray, therefore unnecessary exposure needs to be reduced, and higher image quality is needed. Generally, ray quality of the radiation imaging is an important factor that determines image quality and the amount of ray exposure, and they are affected by tube voltage and added filter. The X-ray energy that is exposed from mammography device is generally a continuous spectrum, which includes low energy that has minute influence on the image quality, and high energy that hinders contrast on image. Currently, molybdenum (Mo) and rhodium (Rh) are the most used added filters for mammography device, and they are used differently according to the energy region of X-ray. This study aims to find out the degree of reduction in exposure dose according to the thickness of aluminum (Al), and to study the changes in image quality and dose when the added filter plates that are made with niobium (Nb) or zirconium (Zr) are used, other than molybdenum (Mo) and rhodium (Rh), the two most used added filters that have similar atomic number and K-absorption regions as Nb and Zr. In this study, single-added filters of molybdenum (Mo), niobium (Nb), and zirconium (Zr) are used, and in some cases, Aluminum (Al) is combined with the single filters. In this case, image quality is considered to be improved depending on the type of added filters, and by using Aluminum (Al) filter together with the others, unnecessary X-ray of low energy would be absorbed, therefore the dose is expected to decrease without any influence when the concentration level becomes identical.

In this paper, we propose a novel filtering method for processing continuous skyline queries on wireless sensor network environments. The existing filtering methods use the filter based on router paths. However, because these filters are applied not to a whole area but to a partial area, these methods send almost data of sensor nodes to transmit to the base station and have no sufficient effect in terms of energy efficiency. Therefore, we propose an efficient method to dramatically reduce the transmission data of sensors through applying a low-cost and effective filter to all sensor nodes. The proposed effective filter is generated by using characteristics such as the data locality and the clustering of sensors. An extensive performance study verifies the merits of our new method.

최근 파워일렉트로닉스기술의 급속한 진보로 인버터 응용기기가 폭넓은 분야에 이용되어 자에너지화에 크게 기여하고 있다. 그러나 반면에 이들 기기로 부터는 전기의 공해라고도 할 수 있는 고조파전류가 발생하고 있다. 이와 같은 배경에서 $\ulcorner$고압 또는 특별고압으로 수전하는 수용가의 고조파 억제대책 가이드라인$\lrcorner$이 제정되어 앞으로 인버터 기기류를 다수 설치하는 수용가에서는 고조파억제대책을 세워야 하는데 그 기기로서 액티브 필터(Active Filter)가 주목을 받고 있다. 액티브 필터는 $\cdot$고속응답성을 갖춘 IGBT(Insulted Gate Bipolar Transistor)소자를 사용한 인버터에 의하여 여러 가지 고조파를 한번에 억제할 수 있다. $\cdot$IGBT소자의 채용에 의한 소형화로 자스페이스$\cdot$저소음화를 실현할 수 있다. $\cdot$액티브 필터는 전원계통을 변경하더라도 설비특성을 변경할 필요가 없다. $\cdot$액티브 필터는 고조파전류가 증가하여도 과부하가 되는 일이 없다. 등 기존의 L-C필터(패시브 필터)에는 없는 우수한 특징을 갖추고 있어, 일반제조업 이외에도 테넌트(임대) 빌딩이나 극장(홀)에도 적용시킬 수 있는 고조파대책의 유효한 수단이 되고 있다.

캐시 에너지의 소비 전력을 줄이기 위해 필터 캐시가 제안되었다. 필터 캐시의 사용으로 인해 많은 전력 사용 감소 효과를 가져왔으나, 상대적으로 시스템 성능도 더불어 감소하게 되었다. 필터 캐시의 사용으로 인한 성능 감소를 최소화하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안된 주요 필터 캐시 예측 모델들을 소개하며, 각각의 방식에 있어서의 핵심 특징 및 해당 방식의 문제점을 분석한다. 이를 바탕으로 본 논문에서는 모드 선택 비트를 활용하는 개선된 형태의 새로운 필터 캐시 예측기 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 MSB라 불리는 참조 비트를 고안하여, 이를 기존의 필터캐시와 BTB에 새롭게 활용한다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방식은 기존 방식 대비, 전력 소모량 시간 지연면에서 평균 5%의 성능 향상을 가져 왔다.

This paper proposes how to reduce the amount of data transmitted in each sensor and cluster head in order to lengthen the lifetime of sensor network. The most important factor of reducing the sensor's energy dissipation is to reduce the amount of messages transmitted. This paper proposed is to classify the node's cluster state into 6 categories in order to reduce both the number and amount of data transmission: Initial, Cluster Head, Cluster Member, Non-transmission Cluster Head, Non-transmission Cluster Member, and Sleep. This should increase the efficiency of filtering and decrease the inaccuracy of the data compared to the methods which enlarge the filter width to do more filtering. This method is much more efficient and effective than the previous work. We show through various experiments that our scheme reduces the network traffic significantly and increases the network's lifetime than existing methods.

X-rays used for diagnosis have a continuous energy distribution. However, photons with low energy not only reduce image contrast, but also contribute to the patient's radiation exposure. Therefore, clinics currently use filters made of aluminum. Such filters are advantageous because they can reduce the exposure of the patient to radiation. However, they may have negative effects on imaging quality, as they lead to increases in the scattered dose. In this study, we investigated the effects of the scattered dose generated by an aluminum filter on medical image quality. We used the relative standard deviation and the scatter degradation factor as evaluation indices, as they can be used to quantitatively express the decrease in the degree of contrast in imaging. We verified that the scattered dose generated by the increase in the thickness of the aluminum filter causes degradation of the quality of medical images.

In this paper, we proposed a new audio fingerprint extraction method, based on Philips' music retrieval algorithm, which uses the energy difference of neighboring filter-bank and probabilistic characteristics of music. Since Philips method uses too many filter-banks in limited frequency band, it may cause audio fingerprints to be highly sensitive to additive noises and to have too high correlation between neighboring bands. The proposed method improves robustness to noises by reducing the number of filter-banks while it maintains the discriminative power by representing the energy difference of bands with 2 bits where the quantization levels are determined by probabilistic characteristics. The correlation which exists among 4 different levels in 2 bits is not only utilized in similarity measurement. but also in efficient reduction of searching area. Experiments show that the proposed method is not only more robust to various environmental noises (street, department, car, office, and restaurant), but also takes less time for database search than Philips in the case where music is highly degraded.

In variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbines, the conventional approach for controlling power-production operation relies on a generator-torque controller and a rotor-collective blade-pitch controller. Both controllers use the generator speed measurement as the sole feedback input. In order to mitigate unwanted excitation of the control system, many filters are adopted. In this study, the characteristics of some filters for signal processing are investigated based on frequency response function. They include low-pass filters, band-pass filters, and notch filters. Especially, this study focuses on design parameters of their filters.
