The Stereo X-ray inspection system is designed for effectively providing the additional information of objects than the conventional inspection system that offers only 2D cross-section of objects. We studied the geometric improvement of the stereo X-ray inspection system, the stereo matching algorithm of the single object using the edge and the volume reconstruction method for the inspected object. In this paper, we conduct a matching algorithm to find the correspondences between the images and reconstruct 3-D shapes of real objects using the stereo X-ray images. Also, we apply a new 3D reconstruction algorithm for the discrimination of two objects. For the separation of the overlapping objects, we calculate the vector of the object and divide inner and outer voxel of objects. And for the elimination of the overlapping area, we study the reconstruct 3D shapes using the threshold based Z-axis. The experimental results show that the proposed technique can enhance the accuracy of stereo matching and give more efficient visualization for overlap objects in the restricted environment.

Due to the growth of embedded systems and the development of semi-conductor and storage devices, digital convergence devises is ever growing. Digital convergence devices are equipments into which various functions such as communication, playing movies and wave files and electronic dictionarys are integrated. Example are portable multimedia players(PMPs), personal digital assistants(PDAs), and smart phones. Therefore, these devices need an efficient file system which manages and controls various types of files. In designing such file systems, the size constraint for small embedded systems as well as performance and compatibility should be taken into account. In this paper, we suggest the partial buffer cache technique. Contrary to the traditional buffer cache, the partial buffer cache is used for only the FAT meta data and write-only data. Simulation results show that we could enhance the write performance more than 30% when the file size is larger than about 100 KBytes.

Among a number of approaches to text compression, adaptive dictionary schemes based on a sliding window have been very frequently used due to their high performance. The LZ77 algorithm is the most efficient algorithm which implements such adaptive schemes for the practical use of text compression. This paperpresents a VLSI architecture designed for processing the LZ77 algorithm in parallel. Compared with the other VLSI architectures developed so far, the proposed architecture provides the more viable solution to high performance with regard to its throughput, efficient implementation of the VLSI systolic arrays, and hardware scalability. Indeed, without being affected by the size of the sliding window, our system has the complexity of O(N) for both the compression and decompression and also requires small wafer area, where N is the size of the input text.

An instant labelling technique for lyophilized pyrophosphate with $^{99m}$Tc is described labelling yield of about 90% is obtained at the pH range 3.5-5.5 on reconstitution with sodium pertechnetate-$^{99m}$ Tc solution. The final product is controlled by a modified two dimensional paper chromatography using 85% methanol and 0.85% saline, and biodynamic investigations are performed on white mice. Generally, the less amount of stannous chloride is used. the higher labelling yield is obtained. The molar ratio of pyrophosphate to stannous chloride of 10 : 1 ~ 50 : 1 is sufficient. The more amount of reduced unbound $^{99m}$Tc is injected, the more radioactivity is incorporated in the liver. Thus. the cause of the false bone-imaging is attributable to the presence of reduced unbound $^{99m}$Tc which is known to be well adsorbed to oxidized tin colloidals. The maximum uptake ratio of bone: liver in mice, in weight basis, 35 : 1 is achieved in lime of 60 min. or so. Tile preparation is suitable for clinical investigations on patients with bone diseases.iseases.

We have developed a passive millimeter wave (PMMW) imaging system with two-dimensional imaging arrays. For the imaging system we achieved single-substrate imaging-array element which include all necessary component such as Fermi tapered slot antenna (TSA), a balun, LNA's and a detector circuit on it. Two-dimensional arrays for real-time imaging at the 35 GHz band are currently under development. We will be able to make an advanced PMMW image system based on our system with the $2\times2$ imaging array in the near future.

This paper describes the transmit/receive(T/R) module for the space based X-band active phased array radar. T/R module is the integrated module which is assembled by the transmitting and receiving RF semiconductor devices to enable the electronically beam steering of the phased array antenna and the key component of the SAR payload. T/R module can selectively receive the polarization signals by the switch according to the established technology but now the technological trend of the T/R module is to receive the horizontal and vertical polarization signal simultaneously. Therefore the research and development of the dual polarization receiving channel T/R module is actively in progress. In this study, as the prior research for the next generation SAR payload, the technological trend of the active phased array radar T/R module and the result of the preliminary design of the dual receiving channel T/R module were described.

In this paper, an 10 bit current-mode CMOS A/D converter with a current predictor is designed with a CMOS process to be integrated into a portable image signal processing system. A current predictor let the number of comparator reduce to 70 percent compared with the two step flash architecture. The current magnitude of current reference is reduced to 68 percent with a modular current reference. The designed 10 bit Low-power current-mode CMOS A/D converter with a current predictor is simulated with HSPICE using 0.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ N-well single-poly triple-metal CMOS process parameters. It results in a conversion rate of 10MSamples/s. A power consumption is measured to be 94.4mW at single +5V supply voltage. The 10 bit A/D converter fabricated using the same process occupies the chip area of 1.8mm x 2.4mm.

To improve the image quality and lower the power consumption of the mobile applications, it is the one of the best candidate to control the backlight unit of the LCD module with ambient light. Ambient light sensor and readout circuit were integrated in LCD panel for the mobile applications, and we designed them with LTPS TFT. We proposed noble start-up correction in order to correct the variation of the photo sensors in each panel. We used time-to-digital method for converting photo current to digital data. To effectively merge time-to-digital method with start-up correction, we proposed noble dual slope correction method. The entire readout circuit was designed and estimated with LTPS TFT process. The readout circuit has very simple and stable structure and timing, so it is suitable for LTPS TFT process. The readout circuit can correct the variation of the photo sensors without an additional equipment, and it outputs the 4-levels digital data per decade for input luminance that has a dynamic range of 60dB. The readout rate is 100 times/sec, and the linearity error for digital conversion is less than 18%.

The performance of hidden camera cameras is improving day by day due to miniaturization and advanced technology integration according to the speed of technological development of smartphones. As this external networking computing environment is advanced and diversified, exposure to hidden cameras in addition to general safety cameras is also increasing. On the other hand, the technology for detecting and preventing hidden cameras is not keeping up with the development and speed of these hidden cameras. Therefore, in this study, the heat of the hidden camera was detected using infrared thermal detection technology based on general image and thermal image synthesis technology, and the reflectance of each wavelength according to the difference in ambient temperature was analyzed to reduce the false positive rate.
