  • To examine iterocular interactions in normal subjects, we recorded EEG activity from channel O1 and O2 on 14 healthy subjects while checkerboard pattern reversals were presented to each eye with different interstimulus intervals (ISIs) ranging from 0 to 218 ms. When pattern reversals were presented asynchronously to each eye, P-1 activity evoked by each reversal was significantly suppressed compared to the activation evoked by synchronous reversals. Furthermore, when there was time delay between pattern reversals to each eye, theta (4-10 Hz) band power was also significantly decreased, whereas beta (10-30 Hz) band power was relatively preserved. Our results suggest that neural activity evoked by sustained but not yet reversed checkerboard from one eye might inhibit upcoming neural response evoked by reversed checkerboard from the other eye. Decreased P-1 activity might reflect such inhibitory interaction between two eyes. Also, decreased theta and preserved beta band power might reflect engagement of different neural circuit for binocular / monocular vision.

  • Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) seem to become the hottest ADC architecture during the past decade in implementing energy-efficient high performance ADCs. In this overview, we will review what kind of circuit techniques and architectural advances have contributed to place the SAR ADC architecture at its current position, beginning from a single SAR ADC and moving to various hybrid architectures. At the end of this overview, a recently reported compact and high-speed SAR-Flash ADC is introduced as one design example of SAR-based hybrid ADC architecture.

  • In the ATM-PON (Asynchronous Transfer Mode-Passive Optical Network), the downstream cell transmitted by an OLT is broadcast to all ONUs. The ONU receives selectively its own cells by VP filtering. On the other hand, the upstream cell can be transmitted by ONU in the case of receiving a grant from the OLT. After providing the grant to an ONU, the OLT expects the arrival of a cell after an elapse of the equalized round trip delay. ITU-T G.983.1 recommends that one bit error is allowed between the expected arrival time and the actual arrival time at the OLT. Because the ONU processes the different delay to each type of grant (ranging, user cell, and mimi-slot grant), it is not simple to design the transmission part of ONU. In this paper, we implement a grant processor which provides the delay accurately in the ONU TC chip with the FPGA. For the given equalized delay, it deals with the delay for the cell, the byte, and the bit unit by using the shift register, the byte counter, and the D flip-flop, respectively. We verify the operation of the grant processor by the time simulation and the measurement of the optical board output.

  • Most of the mono-camera based lane detection systems are fragile on poor illumination conditions. In order to compensate limitations of single sensor utilization, lane information fusion system using multiple lane sensors is an alternative to stabilize performance and guarantee high precision. However, conventional fusion schemes, which only concerns object detection, are inappropriate to apply to the lane information fusion. Even few studies considering lane information fusion have dealt with limited aids on back-up sensor or omitted cases of asynchronous multi-rate and coverage. In this paper, we propose a lane information fusion scheme utilizing multiple lane sensors with different coverage and cycle. The precise lane information fusion is achieved by the proposed fusion framework which considers individual ranging capability and processing time of diverse types of lane sensors. In addition, a novel lane estimation model is proposed to synchronize multi-rate sensors precisely by up-sampling spare lane information signals. Through quantitative vehicle-level experiments with around view monitoring system and frontal camera system, we demonstrate the robustness of the proposed lane fusion scheme.

  • The function of location estimation in WPAN has been studied and specified on the ultra wide band optionally. But the devices based on CSS(Chirp Spread Spectrum) specification has been used widely in the market because of its functionality, cheapness and support of development. As the CSS device uses 2.4GHz for a carrier frequency and the sampling frequency is lower than that of the UWB, the resolution of a timestamp is very coarse. Then actually the error of a measured distance is very large about 30cm~1m at 10 m depart. And the location error in ($10m{\times}10m$) environment is known as about 1m~2m. So for some applications which require more accurate location information, it is very natural and important to develop a sophisticated post processing algorithm after distance measurements. In this paper, we have studied extended Kalman filter with the frequency offsets of anchor nodes, and proposed a novel algorithm frequency offset compensated extended Kalman filter. The frequency offsets are composed with a variable as a common frequency offset and constants as individual frequency offsets. The proposed algorithm shows that the accurate location estimation, less than 10cm distance error, with CSS WPAN nodes is possible practically.

  • Reproductive cycle with the gonad developmental phases, first sexual maturity, spawning frequency, sex ratio of the dusky mud hopper, Periophthalmus modestus were investigated by histological observations. Monthly variations of the gonadosomatic index (GSI) began to increase in May and reached a maximum in June when the gonad was getting mature during the period of higher ground (water) temperature-long day length. Changes in the GSI showed a negative correlation to the HSI, but coincided with the fatness index. The reproductive cycle can be classified into five successive stages: in female, early growing stage (April to May), late growing stage (April to May), mature stage (May to June), ripe and spent stage (June to August), and recovery and resting stage (August to March); in males, growing stage (April to May), mature stage (May to June), ripe and spent stage (June to August), and recovery and resting stage (August to March); According to the frequency distributions of egg diameters during the breeding season, Periophthalmus modestus is presumed to be a summer breeder, asynchronous group and polycyclic species to spawn 2 times or more during the spawning season. Total eggs and mature eggs in absolute fecundity and relative fecundity (per cm) increased with the increase of body length. Total eggs and mature eggs in absolute fecundity and relative fecundity (per g) did not increase with the increase of body weight. Percentages of first sexual maturity of females and males ranging from 5.1 to 5.5 cm in body length are over 50%, and 100% for fish over 7.1 cm in body length. The sex ratios of females to males over 5.1 cm in body length were not significantly different from a 1 : 1 sex ratio.
