본 연구에서는 다목적 레이다 시스템의 신호처리부 설계방안과 알고리즘에 대해 분석하였다. 충돌방지 및 기상모드로 동작하는 신호처리부는 이 두 모드에 대해 ADC, NCI, STC, CFAR의 처리구조를 갖도록 설계하였다. NCI와 CFAR기법으로 제시된 여러 알고리즘의 특성을 분석하였다. 오경보율을 낮추고, 검출확률을 향상시키는데 CVI 알고리즘과 CMLD 알고리즘이 우수한 성능을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 시스템 계산 성능을 고려하여 CMLD에 M=16~20, Ko=M-4를 적용하는 것이 적절하다. CVI에 많은 계산 시간이 되므로, CVI에 2개 이상의 프로세서가 할당되어야 한다. 따라서, 4개의 프로세서를 고려하는 시스템에서는 ADC 입력 처리와 NCI의 VID처리, STC와 CFAR를 각각 1개의 프로세서에서 처리하고 2개의 프로세서가 CVI를 처리하여야 한다.

본 논문은 생체신호 측정을 위한 저전력/저면적 AFE(analog front-end)에 관한 것이다. 제안된 AFE는 계측증폭기(IA), 대역 통과 필터(BPF), 가변 이득 증폭기(VGA), SAR 타입 A/D 변환기로 구성된다. 전류 분할 기법을 이용한 작은 gm (LGM) 회로와 고 이득 증폭기로 구성된 Miller 커패시터 등가 기술을 이용하여, 외부 수동소자를 사용하지 않고 AC-coupling을 구현하였다. 응용에 따른 BPF의 고역 차단 주파수 변화는 전압 조절기(regulator)를 이용한 출력 전압 변화를 이용하여 $g_m$을 변화하여 구현 시켰다. 내장된 ADC는 커패시터 분할 기법을 적용한 이중 배열 커패시터 방식의 D/A변환기와 비동기 제어 방식을 이용하여 저 전력과 저 면적으로 구현하였다. 일반 CMOS 0.18um 공정을 이용하여 칩으로 제작하였고, 전체 칩 면적은 PAD등을 모두 포함하여 $650um{\times}350 um$이다. 제안된 AFE의 전류 소모는 1.8V에서 6.3uA이다.

Objective: To evaluate quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters for differentiation of cysts from and solid masses in the anterior mediastinum. Materials and Methods: The development dataset included 18 patients from two institutions with pathologically-proven cysts (n = 6) and solid masses (n = 12) in the anterior mediastinum. We measured the maximum diameter, normalized T1 and T2 signal intensity (nT1 and nT2), normalized apparent diffusion coefficient (nADC), and relative enhancement ratio (RER) of each lesion. RERs were obtained by non-rigid registration and subtraction of precontrast and postcontrast T1-weighted images. Differentiation criteria between cysts and solid masses were identified based on receiver operating characteristics analysis. For validation, two separate datasets were utilized: 15 patients with 8 cysts and 7 solid masses from another institution (validation dataset 1); and 11 patients with clinically diagnosed cysts stable for more than two years (validation dataset 2). Sensitivity and specificity were calculated from the validation datasets. Results: nT2, nADC, and RER significantly differed between cysts and solid masses (p = 0.032, 0.013, and < 0.001, respectively). The following criteria differentiated cysts from solid masses: RER < 26.1%; nADC > 0.63; nT2 > 0.39. In validation dataset 1, the sensitivity of the RER, nADC, and nT2 criteria was 87.5%, 100%, and 75.0%, and the specificity was 100%, 40.0%, and 57.4%, respectively. In validation dataset 2, the sensitivity of the RER, nADC, and nT2 criteria was 90.9%, 90.9%, and 72.7%, respectively. Conclusion: Quantitative MRI criteria using nT2, nADC, and particularly RER can assist differentiation of cysts from solid masses in the anterior mediastinum.

Fully digital controlled 20-bit magnet power supplies have been developed and successfully tested for closed orbit correction of PLS(Pohang Light Source). The new digital power supply has used fiber optics for 25kHz switching of IGBT drivers, and implemented DSP, ADC, Interlock, DCCT cards in a compact 3U-sized 19" chassis. Input/Output low-pass filters suppress harmonics of 60Hz line frequency and switching frequency noise effectively. Overall performance of the power supplies have been demonstrated as +/- 2ppm short-term stability(<1 min), and +/- 10ppm long-term stability(<36 hours). All the existing 12-bit 70 power supplies for vertical correction magnets will be replaced with new digital power supplies during 2005 summer shutdown period. In this paper, we will describe the hardware structure and control method of the digital power supply and the experimental results will be shown.

The double-base number system has been used in digital signal processing systems for over a decade because of its fast inner product operation and low hardware complexity. This letter proposes an innovative multiplier architecture using hybrid operands. The multiplier can easily be linked to flash analog-to-digital converters or digital systems through a double-base number encoder (DBNE) for realtime signal processing. The design of the DBNE and the multiplier enable faster digital signal processing and require less hardware resources compared to the binary processing method.

The purpose of this study was to understand the adult day care center as a place for the elders and adults and to develop an initial understanding of the services and activity programs for adult day care for the cognitively-impaired in the U.S.A. The data were collected from 12 Adult Day Care Centers(ADC) from 2001 to 2002 by personal interview and the documents about the programs. ADC programs provided primarily social, recreational, and health activities and services in a group setting. Centers offered participants to socialize, enjoy peer support, and receive health and social services in a stimulating and supportive environment that promotes better physical and mental health. For this purpose those centers offered not only professional health care, occupational.speech.physical therapies but also socio-recreation and therapeutic-recreation services.

In this paper, a 12-bit high resolution, power and area efficiency hybrid digital pulse width modulator (DPWM) with process and temperature (PT) calibration has been proposed for digital controlled DC-DC converters. The hybrid structure of DPWM combines a 6-bit differential tapped delay line ring-mux digital-to-time converter (DTC) schema and a 6-bit counter-comparator DTC schema, resulting in a power and area saving solution. Furthermore, since the 6-bit differential delay line ring oscillator serves as the clock to the high 6-bit counter-comparator DTC, a high frequency clock is eliminated, and the power is significantly saved. In order to have a simple delay cell and flexible delay time controllability, a voltage controlled inverter is adopted to build the deferential delay cell, which allows fine-tuning of the delay time. The PT calibration circuit is composed of process and temperature monitors, two 2-bit flash ADCs and a lookup table. The monitor circuits sense the PT (Process and Temperature) variations, and the flash ADC converts the data into a digital code. The complete circuits design has been verified under different corners of CMOS 0.18um process technology node.

In the view point of the environmental conservation and the energy reduction, the recycling of metal scrap is coming as one of the global subjects in the world. In this study, the movement of intermetallics with electromagnetic force in a melt of a scrap of Al-Si-Cu alloy (JIS ADC12), which was widely used in diecasting process, was investigated in order to eliminate the Fe element, which was usually accumulated in a scrap. In this study, we applied electromagnetic method to eliminate Fe element in ADC12 aluminum alloy scrap which contains 1.64wt.% Fe and the effects of electromagnetic force on the particle movement was visualized and confirmed by water modeling and experiment. As a result, the Fe intermetallic compounds are moved to the direction opposite to that of the electromagnetic force as the force applies, thus eliminated from the bulk metal. Therefore, the content of Fe in matrix decreased from 1.64wt.% to 0.45wt.%.
