In this paper, we proposed structure of a reversible discrete-time cellular neural network (DTCNN) for labeling digital images to protect copylight. First, we present the concept and the structure of reversible DTCNN, which can be used to generate 2D binary pseudo-random images sequences. We presented some, output examples of different kinds of reversible DTCNNs to show their complex behaviors. Then both the original image and the copyright label, which is often another binary image, are used to generate a binary random key image. The key image is then used to scramble the original image. Since the reversibility of a reversible DTCNN, the same reversible DTCNN can recover the copyright label from a labeled image. Due to the high speed of a DTCNN chip, our method can be used to label image sequences, e.g., video sequences, in real time. Computer simulation results are presented.

A TDMA system in satellite communication has been utilized. Especially DVB-S2 was standardized and now operated in satellite broadcasting system. In this paper, we propose a TDMA frame structure appropriate for special purpose which has the good reliablilty in a poor RF environment even if frequency efficiency is decreased. TDMA frame duration is 12 seconds which is long duration in comparison with general TDMA system with several ms. Designing the frame structure, time and frequency shift in single frame duration are considered. Simulation results show that the proposed frame structure and synchronization method has robust synchronization performance when the terminal is even in low SNR as well as 25 kHz frequency offsets.

As the interest on the high-definition and high-quality broadcasting is increased, the request on the high quality sound signal is enlarged as well as on the video signal's quality. One factor contributing to the high-quality of audio signal is an expansion of reproduction channels like 10.2channel and 22.2channel, but there is a problem of speaker installation issue of these many channels. One solution to solve this problem, we can use frontal loudspeaker array reproduction technique making virtual surround sound. So in this paper, we introduce theocratical analysis on the Wave Field Synthesis used for speaker array based sound reproduction and also present the result about the subjective listening test of reproduction performance based on this technique to check the perfoemance of this system. As a result, we showed WFS based frontal loudspeaker array reproduction method could provide sufficient performance compared to conventional discrete 5.1 channel reproduction method.

광기록의 역사는 1980년대초 Sony와 Philips가 공동 개발한 CD (compact disc: 640MB)의 출현으로부터 시작하여 1996년의 DVD (digital versatile disc: 4.7GB)를 거쳐 최근의 BD (Blu-ray disc: >20GB)에까지 이르고 있다. Read-only memory, recordable, rewritable 등 다양한 저장 및 재생방식이 존재하는데, 이는 레이저 조사에 의한 기록매체의 특성변화의 가역성 (reversibility)에 의존하므로 저장 및 재생방식에 따라 저장매체 또한 다르게 된다. 기록용량의 증가는 레이저의 파장이 짧아지고 동시에 사용된 렌즈의 개구수 (NA: Numerical aperture)가 증가함에 따른 빔 spot size의 감소에 기인한다. 회절한계를 극복하여 빔의 spot size를 줄이고자 하는 연구는 현재도 전세계적으로 활발히 이루어지고 있고 이러한 노력의 일환으로 어느 정도의 추가적인 저장용량 증가는 가능할 수 있으나, 2차원 방식으로는 대용량 광정보기록 (수백 GB ${\sim}$ TB급)의 실현은 불가능하다는 것이 일반적인 예상이다. 한편 장기적으로 기존의 2차원 정보기록방식을 대체하고 저장용량을 획기적으로 증가시킬 수 있는 bit-type 3차원 광정보기록의 개념이 1990년을 전.후로 처음으로 제시되었다. 이는 2차원 bit 정보가 수십 내지 수백 개의 다층 (multi-layer) 형태로 기록되는 방식인데, 그동안 산업체의 관심이 상대적으로 높지 않았던 이유는 영화, 음악 등 엔터테인먼트 시장성 확대를 위해 Blu-ray disc나 HD-DVD에 대한 연구개발에 치중해왔기 때문이다. 하지만 최근 급변하는 정보시스템 서비스 환경 속에서 정보유통량이 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있고 개인이 취급하는 정보량도 2010년경에는 수백 GB 단위가 될 것으로 예상되고 있으며 디지털 방송, 네트워크를 기반으로 한 서비스 수요 뿐 만 아니라 전자도서관이나 VOD (Video on Demand) 서비스 사업에 필수적인 수 TB급의 대용량 저장장치에 대한 수요 또한 크게 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 이에 따라 점차 그 물리적 한계에 다다르고 있는 기존의2차원 정보저장방식을 대체하고 저장용량을 획기적으로 증가시킬 수 있는3차원 정보기록(> $10^{13}$ $bits/cm^3$)에 대한 필요성이 대두된다.

In recent years, the number of single-person elderly households has increased, but when an emergency situation occurs inside the house in the case of single-person households, it is difficult to inform the outside world. Various smart home solutions have been proposed to detect emergency situations in single-person households, but it is difficult to use video media such as home CCTV, which has problems in the privacy area. Furthermore, if only a single sensor is used to analyze the abnormal situation of the elderly in the house, accurate situational analysis is limited due to the constraint of data amount. In this paper, therefore, we propose an algorithm of abnormal situation detection fusion inside the house by fusing 2DLiDAR, dust, and voice sensors, which are closely related to everyday life while protecting privacy, based on their correlations. Moreover, this paper proves the algorithm's reliability through data collected in a real-world environment. Adnormal situations that are detectable and undetectable by the proposed algorithm are presented. This study focuses on the detection of adnormal situations in the house and will be helpful in the lives of single-household users.

Electrochromic (EC) devices are capable of reversibly changing their optical properties upon charge injection and extraction induced by the external voltage. The characteristics of the EC device, such as low power consumption, high coloration efficiency, and memory effects under open circuit status, make them suitable for use in a variety of applications including smart windows and electronic papers. Coloration due to reduction or oxidation of redox chromophores can be used for EC devices (e-paper), but the switching time is slow (second level). Recently, with increasing demand for the low cost, lightweight flat panel display with paper-like readability (electronic paper), an EC display technology based on dye-modified $TiO_2$ nanoparticle electrode was developed. A well known organic dye molecule, viologen, was adsorbed on the surface of a mesoporous $TiO_2$ nanoparticle film to form the EC electrode. On the other hand, ZnO is a wide bandgap II-VI semiconductor which has been applied in many fields such as UV lasers, field effect transistors and transparent conductors. The bandgap of the bulk ZnO is about 3.37 eV, which is close to that of the $TiO_2$ (3.4 eV). As a traditional transparent conductor, ZnO has excellent electron transport properties, even in ZnO nanoparticle films. In the past few years, one-dimension (1D) nanostructures of ZnO have attracted extensive research interest. In particular, 1D ZnO nanowires renders much better electron transportation capability by providing a direct conduction path for electron transport and greatly reducing the number of grain boundaries. These unique advantages make ZnO nanowires a promising matrix electrode for EC dye molecule loading. ZnO nanowires grow vertically from the substrate and form a dense array (Fig. 1). The ZnO nanowires show regular hexagonal cross section and the average diameter of the ZnO nanowires is about 100 nm. The cross-section image of the ZnO nanowires array (Fig. 1) indicates that the length of the ZnO nanowires is about $6\;{\mu}m$. From one on/off cycle of the ZnO EC cell (Fig. 2). We can see that, the switching time of a ZnO nanowire electrode EC cell with an active area of $1\;{\times}\;1\;cm^2$ is 170 ms and 142 ms for coloration and bleaching, respectively. The coloration and bleaching time is faster compared to the $TiO_2$ mesoporous EC devices with both coloration and bleaching time of about 250 ms for a device with an active area of $2.5\;cm^2$. With further optimization, it is possible that the response time can reach ten(s) of millisecond, i.e. capable of displaying video. Fig. 3 shows a prototype with two different transmittance states. It can be seen that good contrast was obtained. The retention was at least a few hours for these prototypes. Being an oxide, ZnO is oxidation resistant, i.e. it is more durable for field emission cathode. ZnO nanotetropods were also applied to realize the first prototype triode field emission device, making use of scattered surface-conduction electrons for field emission (Fig. 4). The device has a high efficiency (field emitted electron to total electron ratio) of about 60%. With this high efficiency, we were able to fabricate some prototype displays (Fig. 5 showing some alphanumerical symbols). ZnO tetrapods have four legs, which guarantees that there is one leg always pointing upward, even using screen printing method to fabricate the cathode.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze a kinematic characteristics of throwing performance among born visually impaired, postnatal visually impaired and visually correct people through their kinematic characteristics. Another purpose of this study is to prevent injury and improve blind's exercise leadership and physical abilities. Three video cameras were used and each camera's shooting velocity was 60field/sec. Then the longest thrown pose was collected and analyzed by using Kwon 3D ver. 3.1 program. The results obtained from this study were followings; 1. During release, the fastest speed of ball was visually corrected followed by postnatal visually impaired and then born visually impaired. 2. Visually corrected used wrist joint well and had wide body round range with similar motion patterns, however born visually impaired couldn't do this at all. 3. Visually corrected used waist to lead shoulder at Phase 2 while throwing ball, but some of born visually impaired and postnatal visually impaired couldn't use waist to lead shoulder. 4. Visually corrected looked at the way where ball would go, but blinds couldn't look where ball would go. 5. Not like visually corrected who show similar patterns, born visually impaired showed each different patterns and some postnatal visually impaired showed similar patterns with visually corrected. 6. While throwing ball, visually corrected showed flexible weight-movement, postnatal visually impaired were not good as visually corrected, and born visually impaired couldn't do weight-movement at all. Synthetically, this result showed that throwing motions are affected a lot by the time when people became blind.
