In this paper, an advanced error tracking algorithm by using feedback channel was proposed for error resilient transmission. Using this proposed algorithm, the propagation of errors were reduced within the decoded data over bit error prone network. The addresses of corrupted blocks are reported to encoder by decoder. With negative acknowledgments of feedback channel, the encoder can precisely calculate negative acknowledgments and track the propagated errors by examining the backward motion dependency for proper pixel in the current encoding frame. The error-propagation effects can be terminated completely by INTRA refreshing the affected macro-blocks by using proposed error tracking algorithm. By utilizing the selective four-corner error tracking approximation, the error tracking computations of the proposed algorithm is less than that of the algorithm using full pixel without substantial degradation in video quality. The proposed algorithm can track errors rapidly and accurately.

In this paper, we focus on the simulation of receiver algorithms for the Q-CDMA reverse link modem to analyze its structure and performance. Receiver algorithm is to be characterized by processing a large amount of data for reliable data transmission through poor mobile channel environment. According to Q-CDMA receiver scheme, we connect the code acqusition and code tracking models for despreading of input signals and the RAKE structure demodulator used to resolve the time diversity signal due to multipath propagation. And this connected system is under test. The bit error rates are found for an arbitrary user under the AWGN and multipath fading environments.

RFID technologies, which allow collecting, storing, processing, and tracking information by wirelessly recognizing the inherent ID of object through an attached electronic tag, have a variety of application areas. One of the important parameters in designing such RFID systems is the read range within which the system recognizes the electronic tag. We present a novel method of designing an RFID tag required for long read range of RFID systems. The tag designed by the proposed method is battery-assisted to increase its forward-link read range and simultaneously, has backscattering modulation amplified to increase its reverse-link read range. We experimentally confirm that the minimum threshold power of the tag is - 23 dBm and the backscattering modulation gain is 28 dB, which is consistent with our simulation results. We also verify that the tag in this paper improves more than 2 times in terms of the read range compared to the existing commercial tags.

In this paper, we present a hardware structure and new features of a smart antenna BTS (Base Transceiver Station) for CDMA2000 1X system. The proposed smart antenna BTS is a composite system consisting of many subsystems, i.e., array antenna element, frequency up/down converters, AD (Analog-to-Digital) and DA (Digital-to-Analog) converters, spreading/despreading units, convolutional encoder/Viterbi decoder, searcher, tracker, beamformer, calibration unit etc. Through the experimental tests, we found that the desired beam-pattern in both uplink and downlink communications is provided through the calibration procedure. Also it has been confirmed that the adaptive beamforming algorithm adopted to our smart antenna BTS is fast and accurate enough to support 4 fingers to each user. In our experiments, commercial mobile terminals operating PCS (Personal Communication System) band have been used. It has been confirmed that the smart antenna BTS tremendously improves the FER (Frame Error Rate) performance compared to the conventional 2-antenna diversity system.

최근 기후변화에 따른 국지성 집중호우 및 돌발홍수 증가로 도심지역에 많은 침수 피해가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 내외수에 영향을 받는 도시 중소하천의 침수 저감을 위하여 침수 예측모형에 적용 가능한 수리학적 계산모형을 개발하는 것이다. 일반적으로 자연하천은 수지형 수계가 대부분이며, 도시 우수관로와 관계배수 시스템 등은 폐합형 수계에 포함되어 수지형 계산모형으로는 도시 중소하천의 유출 모의를 할 수 없다. 폐합형 수계의 계산모형은 수지형에 비해 복잡하지만, 적용대상 수계가 폐합형이 아닌 경우에도 합류점의 유입량을 처리하기가 편리하고, 역방향의 월류 흐름이 존재하는 감조하천에서의 월류 흐름 모의가 가능한 장점을 갖고 있어 도시 내배수 시스템은 물론 자연하천에도 적용 할 수 있다. 본 모형은 절점, 수로 및 계산점으로 구성되는데 동력학적 방법인 1차원 Saint-Venant의 연속 방정식과 운동량 방정식에 수치해법을 이용하여 구하고자 하는 시간과 지점의 수위와 유량을 계산할 수 있게 구성하였다. 수치해법으로는 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 유한차분법 중 안정성과 정확성이 우수한 것으로 평가된 Preissmann의 4점 음해법으로 차분방정식에 Newton-Raphson 방법을 사용하여 유량과 수위 보정치에 Double Sweep 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 유한차분법은 안정성 문제를 수반할 수 있기에 시간 증분이 작을수록 Courant 조건을 만족할 수 있다. 모형 비교 검증을 위하여 동력학적 방법을 적용한 대표적인 폐합형 수계모형인 EPA SWMM을 지원하는 CHI사의 PC-SWMM 프로그램을 이용하여 가상의 폐합 수계를 구축하였다. 일반적으로 상류지점의 경계조건은 하류로 추적될 입력 자료로써, 상류지점과 합류지점은 유입되는 유량값을 그리고 하류지점은 유출되는 수위값을 경계조건으로 입력하였다. 운동량방정식의 에너지 경사와 마찰경사 항에 포함된 조도계수는 변화량에 중요한 물리적 요소이지만, 고정 상수값인 0.03을 적용하여 검증에 용의하도록 하였다. 구축된 모형과 PC-SWWM을 통해 산출된 계산점별 수위와 유량에 RMS 오차를 비교한 결과 만족할만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 향후 내외수를 연계에 침수예측모형에 적용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Systemic-to-pulmonary artery fistulas are rare. This condition may be congenital, post-traumatic, or post-inflammatory and can cause infection, hemorrhage, or pulmonary hypertension. Here, we report a case of an intercostal-to-pulmonary artery fistula, incidentally detected during the evaluation of dyspnea in a 67-year-old female. Retrograde transcatheter coil embolization in a dilated draining pulmonary artery was initially attempted. However, another draining pulmonary artery developed after 5 months. The intercostal arteries or systemic feeders were successfully embolized through a transarterial access. At the 10-month follow-up, the abnormally dilated vessels had regressed, and dyspnea had improved. Sequential or simultaneous retro- and antegrade transcatheter embolization may successfully treat pleural arterio-arterial fistulas.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation and traditional cognitive training on the working memory and executive function of patients with mild traumatic brain injury. The sample consisted of 20 patients with mild traumatic brain injury who had received rehabilitation treatment in a rehabilitation unit. The subjects were assigned to either the experimental (n = 10) or control group (n = 10). The experimental group received computer-based cognitive rehabilitation and traditional cognitive training for 60 minutes, whereas the control group received only traditional cognitive training for 60 minutes. Both the groups received their respective interventions for 60 minutes a day and 5 times per week across a period of 4 weeks. Working memory and executive function were assessed using the digit span test (forward and backward), visual memory 1 and 2 of the Motor-free Visual Perception Test-3, trail making test, and Stroop test (A and B) both before and after the intervention. The experimental group showed a significantly greater improvement in visual memory and performance on the Stroop test A than the control group. These findings suggest that computer-based cognitive rehabilitation and traditional cognitive training are more effective in promoting positive changes in the working memory and executive function of individuals with mild traumatic brain injury than traditional cognitive training.

In this paper, we suggest an architecture of DS/CDMA tranceiver composed of one pilot channel used as reference and multiple traffic channels. The pilot channel-an unmodulated PN code-is used as the reference signal for synchronization of PN code and data demondulation. The coherent demodulation architecture is also exploited for the reverse link as well as for the forward link. Here are the characteristics of the suggested DS/CDMA system. First, we suggest an interlaced quadrature spreading(IQS) method. In this method, the PN coe for I-phase 1st channel is used for Q-phase 2nd channels and the PN code for Q-phase 1st channel is used for I-phase 2nd channel, and so on-which is quite different from the eisting spreading schemes of DS/CDMA systems, such as IS-95 digital CDMA cellular or W-CDMA for PCS. By doing IQS spreading, we can drastically reduce the zero crossing rate of the RF signals. Second, we introduce an adaptive threshold setting for the synchronization of PN code, an initial acquistion method that uses a single PN code generator and reduces the acquistion time by a half compared the existing ones, and exploit the state machines to reduce the reacquistion time Third, various kinds of functions, such as automatic frequency control(AFC), automatic level control(ALC), bit-error-rate(BER) estimator, and spectral shaping for reducing the adjacent channel interference, are introduced to improve the system performance. Fourth, we designed and implemented the DS/CDMA MODEM to be used for variable transmission rate applications-from 16Kbps to 1.024Mbps. We developed and confirmed the DS/CDMA MODEM architecture through mathematical analysis and various kind of simulations. The ASIC design was done using VHDL coding and synthesis. To cope with several different kinds of applications, we developed transmitter and receiver ASICs separately. While a single transmitter or receiver ASC contains three channels (one for the pilot and the others for the traffic channels), by combining several transmitter ASICs, we can expand the number of channels up to 64. The ASICs are now under use for implementing a line-of-sight (LOS) radio equipment.
