The DAC-7512E is a 12-bit digital to analog converter that is low power and a single package with internal buffers. The DAC-7512E takes up minimal PCB area for applications of space power electronics design. The spacecraft mass is a crucial point considering spacecraft launch into space. Therefore, we have performed a TID test for the DAC-7512E 12-bit serial input digital to analog converter to reduce the spacecraft mass by using a low-level Gamma-ray irradiator with $Co^{60}$ gamma-ray sources. The irradiation with $Co^{60}$ gamma-rays was carried out at doses from 0 krad to 100 krad to check the error status of the device in terms of current, voltage and bit error status during conversion. The DAC-7512E 12-bit serial digital to analog converter should work properly from 0 krad to 30 krad without any error.

This paper presents a multi-channel light-emitting diode (LED) driver IC with a current-mode current regulator. The proposed current regulator replaces resistors for current sensing with a sequentially controlled single current sensor and a single regulation loop for sensing and regulating all LED channel currents. This minimizes the current mismatch among the LED channels and increases voltage headroom or, equivalently, power efficiency. The proposed LED driver IC was fabricated in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ BCD 60-V high voltage process, and the chip area is $1.06mm^2$. The measured maximum power efficiency is 93.4 % from a 12-V input, and the inter-channel current error is smaller than as low as ${\pm}1.3%$ in overall operating region.

In this paper, we propose an artificial intelligence method to compensate the nonlinearity error which occurs in the heterodyne laser interferometer. Some superior properties such as long measurement range, ultra-precise resolution and various system set-up lead the laser interferometer to be a practical displacement measurement apparatus in various industry and research area. In ultra-precise measurement such as nanometer or subnanometer scale, however, the accuracy is limited by the nonlinearity error caused by the optical parts. The feedforward neural network trained by back-propagation with a capacitive sensor as a reference signal minimizes the nonlinearity error and we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proppsed algorithm through some experimental results.

In this paper, Correct problem in dead reckoning system and proposed about position error revision techniques of mobile robot to use RFID tag for position awareness. With the dead reckoning system, as the accumulation of error are unavoidable because of accumulation of informations as the time passage, so it is impossible to get correct information about posture, including torrent direction, movement distance, etc. As one of compensation method, the suggested method is that after selecting special area (corridor), compensate absolute location information by arranging two line of RFID tag along two side of corridor. Through this suggested method, it could be used when robot wants to move in limited areas.

The commercial parallel plate electrodes system with guard-ring electrode have been widely used for measurement of dielectric constants of solid materials. And the specification of the electrodes system is about 1 % of measurement uncertainty. This measurement uncertainty is only estimated the error come from mechanical measurements such as the area of the electrodes and the gap between the electrodes except the error come from the air gap between the electrodes and dielectric specimen. Because it is impossible to measure the air gap. This study analyze the total measurement uncertainties of the commercial dielectric constant test cell using 3 kinds of Standard Reference Materials. As a results, the total measurement uncertainty is much bigger than 1 % and the most of the uncertainty can be reduced by compensation of the error values evaluated in this study.

This article presents Bayesian approach to regression splines with knots on a grid of equally spaced sample quantiles of the independent variables under functional measurement error model.We consider small area model by using penalized splines of non-linear pattern. Specifically, in a basis functions of the regression spline, we use radial basis functions. To fit the model and estimate parameters we suggest a hierarchical Bayesian framework using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methodology. Furthermore, we illustrate the method in an application data. We check the convergence by a potential scale reduction factor and we use the posterior predictive p-value and the mean logarithmic conditional predictive ordinate to compar models.

Recently image display devices have become large and high quality. To control the qualities of the component, measurements of the shape and thickness of a plate glass has been required. In order to measure the shape of the specular objects, Non-Contact Optical Sensor using Hologram laser unit was proposed. The sensor has a optical system that is composed of a Hologram laser and objective lens used for CD Player, and the sensor showed high performance for measuring the shape and thickness of transparent plates. In the sensor, the temperature of the sensor body is controlled by TEC(Thermoelectric Cooler). In this paper, we proposed the measuring method to make better performance of sensor using focus error signal of a hologram laser unit. It can measure the shape and the thickness of transparent objects with the s-type focus error signal which is generated by the sensor while it goes to the object.

In this paper, the wavelet transform based lossless image compression algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm transforms the input image using 9/7 ICFB and S+P filter, and eliminates the spacious correlation of the subband coefficients, applying the context modeling predictive technique based on the multi-resolution structure and the feedback of the prediction error. The prediction context exploits the subordination and direction property of the different level subband in the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal subband coefficients. The simulation result of the high frequency images such as PEPPERS, BOAT, and AIRPLANE shows that the proposed algorithm efficiently predicts the edge area of each multi-resolution subband.

Work performance and human error are complicated phenomena so that it is very difficult to grasp the true nature of them. However, Event Related Potential (ERP) may give a clue to them because human brain reflects diverse psychophysiological process. In the present study, the possibility of ERP application to the ergonomic area was evaluated in view of grasping error symptoms. For that purpose, the subjects were asked to count specific characters in a random character matrix on a computer monitor, and their ERP was compared with their performance data. Based upon the results, the amplitude of P300 was not so high as that in the case of the Odd Ball tasks, correct response corresponded with stable ERP with high P300 amplitude whereas wrong response did with unstable, fluctuating ERP with low P300 amplitude. Those results coincided with the work performance, and it was concluded that 3-wave fluorescent with illumination level of 800 lux would be recommendable for the counting task in concern. Conclusively, ERP including P300 might supply an objective clue to the problem of human errors in cognitive process.

본 논문에서는 통계적 방법에 의한 음소의 자동분할에 관한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 우선 음성 신호를 AR 모델로 모델링한 후 스펙트럼이 변화하기 전과 변화한 후의 모델에 대해서 likelihood ratio 와 mutual information을 고려한 test statistics 로부터 모델 계수가 변화하는 곳을 예측해 내고 이 곳을 음소의 경계로 판단한다. 이 경우 검파되지 못하는 대부분의 음소는 짧은 자음이었으며 Signed front-to-back maximum area ratio을 이용하여 개선하였다. 또한 false alarm error을 줄이기 위해 두 segment 사이의 distortion 으로부터 smoothing을 하였다. 3명의 화자에 대한 실험 결과 non-detection error는 10%, false alarm error는 20% 정도로 나타났지만 화자간에 알고리즘의 성능 변화가 거의 없으 며 특히 분할된 경계치 분포는 전체 음소의 90% 이상이 이 30ms 이내에 위치하였다.
