Recently, many human-friendly communication methods have been studied for human-machine interface(HMI) without using any physical devices. One of them is the vision-based gesture recognition that this paper deals with. In this paper, we define some gestures for interaction with objects in a predefined virtual world, and propose an efficient method to recognize them. For preprocessing, we detect and track the both hands, and extract their silhouettes from the low-resolution hand images captured by a webcam. We modeled skin color by two Gaussian distributions in RGB color space and use blob-matching method to detect and track the hands. Applying the foodfill algorithm we extracted hand silhouettes and recognize the hand shapes of Thumb-Up, Palm and Cross by detecting and analyzing their modes. Then, with analyzing the context of hand movement, we recognized five predefined one-hand or both-hand gestures. Assuming that one main user shows up for accurate hand detection, the proposed gesture recognition method has been proved its efficiency and accuracy in many real-time demos.

In this paper, prior to the flight model X-band dual-mode circular cavity filter required for the high power transmission of the observation payload in the geostationary satellite, the development model are designed and analyzed to show the analytical multipactor requirement margin. First of all, the multipaction breakdown power sensitivities were analyzed by changing the iris width and thickness within the filter, and through that the iris width and thickness was selected and then the multipaction threshold powers over the frequencies within the bandwidth were analyzed and the required margin of 8 dB was obtained. Also for the high power transmission filter, another important phenomena known as corona breakdown are analyzed for the iris width and thickness changes. Finally the development model manufactured was tested and the results met the key requirements.

We present a detailed period analysis for the F-type primary of ${\in}$ Aurigae by means of Fourier and wavelet algorithm. After collecting all available data which have been observed for around 160 years (1842 - 2006) from various international databases and published references we selected only data obtained during outside eclipse among them again. As a result of analysis using CLEANest and WWZ(weighted wavelet Z-transform) several frequencies including two clear periods ($67^d\;and\;123^d$) were found. In contrast to previous results that the periods vary irregularly it seems that the primary of ${\in}$ Aurigae is double mode or multiperiodic pulsator. The presence of the two periods and their ratio indicates that the high-mass interpretation of the variable could be valid. Also better understanding of the mechanisms driving the light variability of F-type supergiant stars requires continual series of photometric and radial velocity measurements in outside eclipse of this star.

In this work, the freestanding GaN single crystalline substrates without cracks were grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) and its some properties were investigated. The GaN substrate, having a current maximum size of 350 $\mu\textrm{m}$-thickness and 100$\textrm{mm}^2$ area, were obtained by HVPE growth of thick film GaN on sapphire substrate and subsequent mechanical removal of the sapphire substrate. A lattice constant of $C_o$= 5.18486 $\AA$ and a FWHM of DCXRD was 650 arcsec for the single crystalline GaN substrate. The low temperature PL spectrum consist of three excitonic emission and a deep D- A pair recombination at 1.8eV. The Raman E, (high) mode frequency was 567$cm^{-1}$ which was the same as that of strain free bulk single crystals. The Hall mobility and carrier concentration was 283$cm^3$<\ulcornerTEX>/ V.sand 1.1$\times$$10^{18}cm^{-3}$, respectively.

전자파표면유속계는 여러 측정지점을 가능한 신속하게 이동하면서 홍수시 유속을 측정하는데 그 목적이 있다. 또한 홍수시 유속은 시간대 별로 급격히 변하는 속성을 가지고 있으므로 유량측정 지점의 유량을 실시간으로 획득하기 위해서는 현장 측정에서 측정한 유량데이터가 실시간으로 집계 되어야한다. 현재의 시스템은 측정 정보를 실시간으로 전송하기 위하여 현장 측정자에게 PDA가 보급되어 있으며 CDMA망을 통해서 유량 측정을 위한 각종 정보 및 측정결과를 실시간 전송하도록 되어있다. 그러나 전자파표면유속계를 비롯한 각종 유속계가 PDA와 무선으로 통신을 할 수 있게 되어있지 않기 때문에 열악한 여건의 현장에서 측정한 데이터를 야장에 수기로 기록한 후 이를 다시 PDA에 수동으로 입력시켜야하는 불편함이 있다. 전자파표면 유속계를 제외한 다른 측정 장비는 제조회사가 수자원공사와 독립적인 업체이므로 통신 접속을 하기위한 특정 인터페이스를 알아내기가 어려운 실정이다. 그러나 전자파표면유속계는 수자원공사에서 개발한 장비로서 핵심기술을 수자원공사에서 보유하고 있으므로 PDA와 통신을 가능하게 하는 장치의 개발이 가능하다. 이에 이러한 불편한 문제점을 개선하여 현장에서 홍수 유량 측정시 작업자들의 편이성을 증대시키고자 전자파표면유속계와 PDA간에 근거리통신기법을 적용하였다. 이를 위하여 Bluetooth, UWB(Ultra-Wide Band, 초광대역통신), Zigbee 등 적용가능한 근거리 통신기법을 조사하였다. 그 결과 Zigbee가 소비전력이 적어 현장에서 홍수유량측정에 이용되는 전자파표면유속계에 적용성이 가장 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 무선통신 모듈과 연동되는 전자파표면유속계는 이동식을 기준으로 적용하였으며 기존 신호처리부에 무선통신 모듈을 장착할 수 있는 구조로 설계하였다. 장착 방식은 기존 이동식 유속계의 신호처리부의 RS-232 포트에 무선통신 모듈을 장착하면 사용할 수 있는 구조로 되어있다. 신호처리부 RS-232 포트는 현재까지는 측정한 유속값을 PC로 전송받는 용도로 활용되었으나 무선모듈 장착 시에는 무선통신 할 수 있는 이중화 구조를 채택하였다. 두 가지 방식에 대한 통신구별은 초기에 송수신하는 데이터에 따라 구별되도록 하였다. 신호처리부에서 무선통신 추가에 따른 운용 방식은 별도의 수자원공사 모드를 추가하여 운용하도록 수정하였다. 유속 측정 시에는 무선통신 모듈을 제거한 상태에서 측정한 후, 측정한 데이터를 PDA로 전송할 때 아를 부착하여 사용할 수 있는 구조를 갖도록 제작하였다. 이러한 방식을 적용시킨 이유는 기존에 보급된 유속계에 무선모듈을 장착한 후, 신호처리부 운용 프로그램을 업그레이드하면 바로 사용할 수 있도록 하기 위함이다.

This paper presents a compact, low insertion loss, sharp rejection and wide band microstrip band pass filter that is composed rectangular loop resonator and step-impedance-open-stub(SIOS) for wireless data communication. The SIOS can be reduce length about 30% more than general $0.25{\lambda}$ stub. And the stub can the advantage of tuning impedance magnitude. In order to demonstrate agrement of this paper prove, the optimized wide band pass filters are realized and experimented. A transmission line model used to calculate the frequency response of the new filters shows good agreement with measurements. The filter has 3dB fractional bandwith of 52.5%(3.267GHz), an insertion loss of better than 0.33dB from 4.587GHz to 7.854GHz, and two rejection of greater than 30dB within 221MHz$(4.366GHz{\sim}4.587GHz)$ at low frequency band, 181MHz$(7.854GHz{\sim}8.035GHz)$ at high frequency band. Maximum rejection characteristics of the filter are -54dB at low frequency and -60dB at high frequency.

Call blocking probabilities of streaming data service in CDMA system with access point(AP) of WLAN are analyzed for different cell geometry of base station and AP and queuing is modeled. The considered system leads to successful handoffs between the APs of WLAN. Blocking probabilities are enumerated as a function for ratio of base station and AP sizes, their locations and the number of buffer in the queue. Results show that blocking probability is not influenced by base station and AP locations but mainly by ratio of their sizes. For CDMA system of radius 100m, 5 buffers in the queue and 7㏈ noise rise(NR), in order to obtain 1% call blocking probability, a cell with hot spot of radius 20m has more 0.6Erlang than that of radius 60m.

This work describes an 8b 200MHz time-interleaved subranging analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on a single-poly digital CMOS process. Two fine ADCs for lower digital bits of the proposed ADC employ a time-sharing double-channel architecture to increase system speed and a new reference voltage switching scheme to reduce settling time of the reference voltages and chip area. The proposed intermeshed resistor string, which generates reference voltages for fine ADCs, improves linearity and settling time of the reference voltages simultaneously. The proposed sample- and-hold amplifier(SHA) is based on a highly linear common-drain amplifier and passive differential circuits to minimize power consumption and chip area with 8b accuracy and employs input dynamic common mode feedback circuits for high dynamic performance at a 200MHz sampling rate. A new encoding circuit in a coarse ADC simplifies the signal processing between the coarse ADC and two successive fine ADCs.
