Performance analysis and comparison of the hybrid DS-SFH spread-spectrum (SS) system using coherent MSK and QPSK modulation techniques over Rayleigh fading channel are considered in the presence of MTJ(multi-tone jamming). To analyze the BER performance of the hybrid systems with or without the Rake receiver, signal-to-noise plus interference ratio is derived as a function of the average signal-to-noise ratio, the jammer-to-signal ratio and other system parameters. Numerical results show that the performance difference between the two modulation schemes, MSK and QPSK, is negligible for low JSR, while it becomes significant with the increase of JSR. In multi-path Rayleigh fading channel without Rake receiver, the performances of the two modulation schemes are slightly improved as the DS spreading gain is increased when the total SS bandwidth is fixed. In particular, there is an optimum DS spreading gain for large JSR, in which a minimum BER is achieved, while only DS spreading gives the best performance for small JSR. For hybrid systems with Rake receiver, it is shown that the hybrid system of the MSK modulation scheme provides better anti-jamming performance and larger performance improvement with the increase of multi-path resolution capability of Rake receiver than that of QPSK modulation for all conditions.

In the planning stage of mobile phone development, one of the most important considerations is to select a FormFactor properly to determine the strategy and Purpose of a Product. Up to now, the FormFactor has been selected only by intuitional and qualitative methods. In this study, the Appraisal Methodology using Sensibility Adjectives of Emotion and Sensibility Engineering was presented to suggest the systematic and rational framework in the field of FormFactor selection. First, we verified the conceptual FormFactors with Axiomatic Design and classified the Sensibility Adjectives into the verified FormFactors. When the FormFactor and classified Design Parameters (DP) were given to a designer, the designer implemented the preliminary designs and they were assessed and analyzed by the survey. With these processes, we were able to select the proper designs for FormFactors which were fit for the purpose of a product. This was caused by connecting the Axiomatic Design and tile Sensibility Adjectives. This study gave the possibilities that can be spread to the selection factors, except for the FormFactor, from now on.

We investigate the effect of the data skew of join attributes on the performance of a pipelined multi-way hash join method, and propose two new hash join methods with load balancing capabilities. The first proposed method allocates buckets statically by round-robin fashion, and the second one allocates buckets adaptively via a frequency distribution. Using hash-based joins, multiple joins can be pipelined so that the early results from a join, before the whole join is completed, are sent to the next join processing without staying on disks. Unless the pipelining execution of multiple hash joins includes some load balancing mechanisms, the skew effect can severely deteriorate system performance. In this paper, we derive an execution model of the pipeline segment and a cost model, and develop a simulator for the study. As shown by our simulation with a wide range of parameters, join selectivities and sizes of relations deteriorate the system performance as the degree of data skew is larger. But the proposed method using a large number of buckets and a tuning technique can offer substantial robustness against a wide range of skew conditions.

An analytical solution to generate attitude command profile for agile spacecraft is proposed. In realistic environment, obtaining analytical minimum-time optimal solution is very difficult because of following constraints-: 1) actuator saturation, 2) flexible mode excitation, 3) uplink command bandwidth limit. For that reasons, this paper applies two simplifications, an eigen-axis rotation and a finite-jerk approximated profile, to derive the solution in an analytical manner. The resulting attitude profile can be used as a feedforward or reference input to on-board attitude controller, and it can enhance spacecraft agility. Equations of attitude command profile are derived in two general boundary conditions: rest-to-rest maneuver and spin-to-spin maneuver. Simulation results demonstrate that the initial and final boundary conditions, in terms of time, attitude, and angular velocities, are well satisfied with the proposed analytical solution. The derived attitude command generation algorithm may be used to minimize a number of parameters to be uploaded to spacecraft or to automate a sequence of attitude command generation on-board.

The wire and/or wireless data communication system for anti-disaster system of natural gas governor station was developed. In oder to prevent accidents of governor station, the operator was replaced by RTU(Remote Terminal Unit) which gather and transmit safety situation of governor station. The database and MMI(Man Machine Interface) were also developed to analyze the situation of governor station. The data communication between server and RTU was designed to switch automatically from wire to wireless communication and vice versa when one of them failed communication. We also have developed the patrol car management system which was applied GPS(Global Position System)/GIS(Geometric Information System), and the earthquake detection/transmission system which was adopted three dimension acceleration sensor. When a earthquake may occur, the earthquake detection/transmission system monitors data such as PGA(Peak Ground Acceleration), Sl(Spectrum Intensity) and orders the emergency shutoff valve close immediately.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of image degradation and the improvement of image quality caused by the density difference between the orthodontic filling material and the surrounding anatomical structure during the examination of the facial CT by quantitative and qualitative analysis. The teeth were scanned using 64-MDCT (Discovery 750 HD, GE HEALTH CARE, Milwaukee, USA). The teeth were scanned and compared according to tube voltage, silicone application, and MAR application. As a result, 10.36% CT value decreased at 140 kVp and 5.81% decrease at the application of silicon material. As a result of the qualitative evaluation, it was evaluated that 7 of the 10 observers and 3 of the acceptors were applied to the MAR algorithm. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the unnecessary burden on the radiation exposure dose as well as to reduce the loss of image data by reducing the high density artifacts, as well as the inspection parameters used in the current clinical application and various algorithms that can reduce the high density artifacts. It can be expected to provide a lot of image information.

In this study, a technique of speciation and determination of the trace inorganic arsenic(As(III) and As(V)) in water sample using HPLC-DRC-ICP-MS has been developed. Isocratic mobile phase of 10 mM ammonium nitrate and 10 mM ammonium phosphate monobasic was used and methanol(5 v/v%) was used as flushing solvent. Selection of the best flow rate of reaction gas, O$_2$, and optimization of the parameters such as pH and flow rate of mobile phase, and injection volume of sample for the separation and detection of arsenic species were carried out. The oxygen flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, pH of 9.4 and flow rate of 1.5 mL/min of mobile phase, and injection volume of sample of 100 $\mu$L were found to be the best parameters for the speciation and determination of arsenic species. The analytical features of the method were detection limit 0.10 and 0.08 $\mu$g/L, precision(RSD) 4.3% and 3.6%, and recovery 95.2% and 96.4% for As(III) and As(V), respectively. Analysis time was 4 minutes per sample. Linear calibration graphs with r$^2$ = 0.998 were obtained for both As(III) and As(V). Speciation analysis of arsenic species in the raw water samples collected from the tributary streams to Han River and main stream of Paldnag were performed by the proposed method. The concentrations of As(III) ranged from 0.10 to 0.22 $\mu$g/L and As(V) concentrations ranged from 0.44 to 1.19 $\mu$g/L, and 93.5% of total arsenic was found to be As(V).

In this paper, we propose a generation method of regression classes for adaptation in the HM-Net (Hidden Markov Network) system. The MLLR (Maximum Likelihood Linear Regression) adaptation approach is applied to the HM-Net speech recognition system for expressing the characteristics of speaker effectively and the use of HM-Net in various tasks. For the state level sharing, the context domain state splitting of PDT-SSS (Phonetic Decision Tree-based Successive State Splitting) algorithm, which has the contextual and time domain clustering, is adopted. In each state of contextual domain, the desired phoneme classes are determined by splitting the context information (classes) including target speaker's speech data. The number of adaptation parameters, such as means and variances, is autonomously controlled by contextual domain state splitting of PDT-SSS, depending on the context information and the amount of adaptation utterances from a new speaker. The experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method on the KLE (The center for Korean Language Engineering) 452 data and YNU (Yeungnam Dniv) 200 data. The experimental results show that the accuracies of phone, word, and sentence recognition system increased by 34∼37%, 9%, and 20%, respectively, Compared with performance according to the length of adaptation utterances, the performance are also significantly improved even in short adaptation utterances. Therefore, we can argue that the proposed regression class method is well applied to HM-Net speech recognition system employing MLLR speaker adaptation.

This paper deals with characteristics analysis of a permanent magnet (PM) linear generator using analytical methods for wave energy harvesting. The wave energy is carried out from the movement of a yo-yo system. A linear generator using permanent magnets to generate a magnetic force itself does not require a separate power supply and has the advantage of simple maintenance. In addition to the use of a rare earth, a permanent magnet having a high-energy density can be miniaturized and lightweight, and can obtain high energy-conversion efficiency. We derived magnetic field solutions produced by the permanent magnet and armature reaction based on 2D polar coordinates and magnetic vector potential. Induced voltage is obtained via arbitrary sinusoidal input. In addition, electrical parameters are obtained, such as back-EMF constant, resistance, and self- and mutual-winding inductances. The space harmonic method used in this paper is confirmed by comparing it with finite element method (FEM) results. These facilitate the characterization of the PM-type linear generator and provide a basis for comparative studies, design optimization, and machine dynamic modeling.
