The differential electromagnetic transducer for IME(implantable middle ear) system, which have two small permanent magnets glued with the same pole facing each other in the coil, has high vibration efficiency and does not influenced by external magnetic field. In this paper, using finite element method, highly efficient structure of the transducer was proposed and vibration force of the transducer was calculated by electromagnetic theory. And the necessary vibration force of transducer to transmit the sound signal to inner ear when the transducer is attached at stapes was calculated and the design parameters of the transducer were investigated. Using the parameters, the differential electromagnetic transducer was manufactured in small size to implant in confined human middle ear. And it was examined by unloaded and loaded vibration experiment using temporal bone sampled from cadaver.

With the rapid development of media environment and contents production technology, the era of multi-platform convergence transmedia has emerged, and communication method through trans media contents has attracted attention. Transmedia content refers to the concept of translating individual content into multi-platforms, which creates an expanded worldview of convergence. In addition, the interaction generated in this process is very important and difficult to control in the progress of the content. In this paper, we focused on the combination of transmedia content and gamification concept as a solution, and based on the 'MDA framework' which is a theoretical system of analysis and approach for implementing game design, We looked at the structure. It is expected that a review of the fundamental game design structure, which establishes a prediction system of value and fun experiences through the balance of technology and emotions, will be helpful as a basis for designing trans media contents.

A dynamic adaptive streaming server consumes high processor power because it handles a large amount of transcoding operations at a time. For this purpose, multi-processor architecture is mandatory for which effective transcoding task distribution strategies are essential. In this paper, we present the design and implementation details of the transcoding workload distribution schemes at a 2-tier (frontend node and backend node) transcoding server. For this, we implemented four schemes: 1) allocation of transcoding tasks to appropriate back-end nodes, 2) task scheduling in the back-end node and 3) the communication between front-end and back-end nodes. Experiments were conducted to compare the estimated and the actual power consumption in a real testbed to verify the efficacy of the system. It also proved that the system can reduce the load on each node to optimize the power and time used for transcoding.

Intra-Vascular Ultra-Sound (IVUS) transducers were developed for the application to diagnose coronary diseases. The transducer consists of 32 piezoelectric elements with a front insulation layer and a polymeric acoustic backing layer on a hollow alumina tube. The optimal geometrical structure of the transducer was designed through theoretical analysis of radiation patterns of the transducer. Samples of the IVUS transducers of the diameter of 3㎜ were fabricated to illustrate the design scheme. For the piezoelectric elements, 2-2 mode piezocomposite materials were employed. Experimental performance of the transducers showed good agreement with the design results, which verified feasibility of the transducer for IVUS applications.

In this paper, we propose a constant-amplitude multi-rode trans-bi-orthogonal modulation scheme by introducing a simple constant-amplitude coding scheme with redundant bits and trans-code, which if a modified orthogonal modulation scheme. Generally speaking, the orthogonal modulation scheme is not appropriate for the high speed data transmission applications because of bad bandwidth efficiency. Therefore, we use the multi-rode trans-bi-orthogonal modulation with trans-code for high bandwidth efficiency. Moreover, redundant bits are used for constant-amplitude-coding. Finally, we compare the performance of the proposed scheme with the orthogonal modulation and constant-amplitude multi-code trans-orthogonal modulation by using the computer simulation.

A piezoelectric flextentional deep-water sonar transducer has been designed using a coupled FE-HEM. The dynamics of the sonar transducer is modelled in three dimensions and is analyzed with external electrical excitation conditions. Different results are available such as steady-state frequency response for TX displacement modes, directivity patterns, resonance frequencies, TVRs. While the conventional barrel-stave typed sonar transducer of the piezoelectric material is designed, the external surface of the transducer is modified in order to allow the same hydrostatic pressure to be applied onto the inner and the outer surfaces of the transducer. With this modification for deep-water application, a new resonance mode is generated at lower frequency. This lower resonance mode can be adjusted according to the degree of the outer surface modification.

The ultrasonic phased arrays are used for treating tumors in the human body by the focus control of the acoustic pressure at the desired position. The magnitude and phase of the surface acoustic pressure in each ultrasonic transducer is controlled by the magnitude and phase of the applied voltage to it. In this paper, the relationship between the applied voltage and the surface acoustic pressure of the ultrasound transducer is modelled, and the desired voltage is realized by PWM technique. The validity of the proposed method is verified by computer simulation of the focus control of a ultrasonic phased array composed of 61 ultrasonic transducers.

1A novel bipolar linear transconductor and its application to operational transconductance amplifier(OTA) for low-voltage low-power signal processing is proposed. The transconductor consists of a npn differential-pair with emitter degeneration resistor and a pnp differential-pair connected to the npn differential-pair in cascade. The bias current of the pnp differential-pair is used with the output current of the npn differential-pair for wide linearity and temperature stability. The OTA consists of the linear transconductor and a translinear current cell followed by three current mirrors. The proposed transconductor has superior linearity and low-voltage low-power characteristics when compared with the conventional transconductor. The experimental results show that the transconductor with transconductance of 50 ${\mu}S$ has a linearity error of less than ${\pm}$0.06% over an input voltage range from -2V to +2V at supply voltage ${\pm}$3V. Power dissipation of the transconductor was 2.44 mW. A prototype OTA with a transconductance of 25 ${\mu}S$ has been built with bipolar transistor array. The linearity of the OTA was same as the proposed transconductor. The OTA circuit also exhibits a transconductance that is linearly dependent on a bias current varying over four decades with a sensitivity of 0.5 S/A.

압전 트랜스포머의 전력 변환기회로에의 응용은 크게 두가지 방향으로 구분할 수 있다. 고압용 인버터와 저압용 DC-DC 컨버터에의 응용이다. 압전 트랜스포커를 이용한 고압용 인버터는 이미 실용화 단계에 와 있어서 시제품이 생산되고 있으며 저압용 DC-DC 컨버터에의 응용에 있어서도 MHz대의 스위칭 주파수를 갖는 고주파용 컨버터가 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 본고에서는 우선 압전 트랜스포머의 특징에 대하여 설명하고, 고압용 인버터에의 응용, 저압용 DC-DC 컨버터에의 응용, 결론의 순서로 해설하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 스피커를 통해 입체 음향을 재생할 때 발생하는 크로스 토크(corss talk)를 제거하기 위한 트랜스오럴 필터를 실시간으로 구현하였다. 실시간 처리를 위하여 일반적인 트랜스오럴 필터를 재구성하였으며, 범용 DSP(Digital Signal Processor) 칩인 TMS320C40을 사용하였다. 메인 프로그램은 C-언어를 이용하여 작성하였으며, 빠른 연산을 필요로 하는 컨벌루션 함수는 어셈블러 언어를 이용하여 최적화 하였다. 구현된 트랜스오럴 필터의 평가를 위해서 더미 헤드를 이용하여 녹음된 binaural 신호와 DSP를 이용하여 실시간으로 합성된 binaural 신호를 스테레오 스피커를 통해 재생하여 청취 실험하였다. 청취 실험한 결과 머리 밖에서 음상 정위가 이루어지고 공간감과 거리감은 헤드폰으로 청취할 때 보다 우수하게 나타났다.
