전송 신호의 높은 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)은 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)의 주된 문제점중의 하나이다. PTS(Partial Transmit Sequences) 기법은 OFDM 신호의 PAPR의 통계를 개선하는 기법이다. 그러나 PTS 기법에서 위상 가중치의 선택을 위한 계산 복잡도는 서브블록의 수에 따라 지수적으로 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 위상 가중치 값의 제한이 없고 탐색을 위해 부가적인 연산이 불필요한 탐색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 탐색 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하기 위해 PAPR의 CCDF(Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function)와 계산 복잡도를 완전 탐색과 비교한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 탐색 알고리즘은 완전 탐색과 비교할 때 약간의 성능 저하를 가지고 계산 복잡도를 상당히 낮출 수 있음을 보였다.

무선 센서네트워크에서 에너지 절약을 위해 필요한 송선전력을 제어하는 기법들이 많이 연구 되었다. 그러나 기존 연구들은 송신전력제어 과정에서 최적화된 송신전력 단계를 계산하기 위해 많은 패킷이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 추가척인 제어 패킷을 발생시키지 않고 최단경로를 고려하는 송신전력제어 기법을 제안한다. 그 기법은 네트워크 구성에 필요한 광고 메시지를 최대한 활용하여 제어 패킷을 사용하지 않으며 네트워크 구성 초기에 최대 송선전력 단계로 광고 메시지를 전달하여 구성된 최단경로를 기준으로 한다. 제안한 기법의 평가를 위해 TinyOS 에서 제안한 기법을 적용하였다. 그리고 21개의 노드를 이용하여 네트워크를 구성하고 형균 전류 소요량, 평균 네트워크 깊이 등을 측정하였다. 측정한 결과 제안한 기법을 척용한 네트워크가 이전보다 송신 시 명균 전류량이 약 24.7% 만큼 적으며 네트워크의 흡 수가 일반 네트워크 홉 수보다 약 41% 적였다.

In this paper, a distributed image coding scheme for multi-view video through an efficient generation of side information is proposed. A distributed video coding technique corrects the errors in the side information, which is generated with the original image, by using the channel coding technique at the decoder. Therefore, the more correct the generated side information is, the better the performance of distributed video coding. The proposed technique is to apply the distributed video coding schemes to the image coding for multi-view video. It generates side information by selectively and efficiently using both 3-dimensional warping based on the depth map with spatially adjacent frames and motion-compensated temporal interpolation with temporally adjacent frames. In this scheme the difference between the adjacent frames, the sizes of the motion vectors for the adjacent blocks, and the edge information are used as the selection criteria. From the experiments, it was observed that the quality of the side information generated by the proposed technique was improved by the average peak signal-to-noise ratio of 0.97dB than the one by motion-compensated temporal interpolation or 3-dimensional warping. The result from analyzing the rate-distortion curves revealed that the proposed scheme could reduce the bit-rate by 8.01% on average at the same peak signal-to-noise ratio value, compared to previous work.

Objective : To determine the clinical and radiological safety of 15 consecutive patients managed with plate and screw fixation systems applied to the cervical lateral mass. Methods : 15 patients who underwent posterior cervical and T1 arthrodesis were reviewed from Jan 2002 to Dec 2004. Posterior cervical screw and plate fixation was applied on the lateral mass of the cervical spine. The authors have tried lateral mass screw fixation using a modified Magerl's technique [$20^{\circ}$ lateral and $20{\sim}30^{\circ}$ rostral screw trajectory] under preliminary radiological study. The average patient age was $39.73^{\circ}{\pm}11.00\;years$, and the average follow-up period was $9.73^{\circ}{\pm}6.77\;months$. Computed tomography scans taken after surgery were reviewed to confirm the attempted screw trajectory correct and safety. Results : Three of 93 lateral mass screws were malpositioned but clinical damage was not noted. Two of 8 pedicle screws on the T1 vertebrae were not placed on the correct pedicle area. Screw and plate loosening was observed in one case but was not subjected to an additional procedure because of maintained screw position observed during follow-up periods. Conclusion : The results of this study indicate that lateral mass screw fixation using the Modified Magerl's technique on the cervical lateral mass may provide safe and effective application on the patients. In addition, the chance of incorrectly placed screws was higher in T1 pedicle screw fixation than in lateral mass screw fixation of the cervical area.

본 논문에서는 데이터 압축을 통해 메모리 시스템의 에너지 효율 및 성능을 향상시키는 동적랭크 서브세팅 기법 (Dynamic Rank Subsetting, DRAS)을 제안한다. DRAS 기법은 하나의 메모리 랭크 (Rank)를 두 개의 서브랭크 (Sub-rank)로 동작되도록 하여, 데이터가 절반 크기로 압축될 경우 압축된 데이터를 하나의 서브랭크에만 저장한다. 이를 통해 DRAS 기법은 압축된 데이터에 대한 읽기 및 쓰기 동작의 메모리 대역폭을 두 배로 높일 수 있고, 동적 전력 소모도 절반으로 감소시킬 수 있다. 만약 데이터가 절반 크기로 압축되지 않는다면 기존 메모리 시스템에서와 같이 데이터를 두 서브랭크에 저장한다. 따라서 DRAS 기법은 데이터가 압축되지 않는 경우에 대해서는 기존 메모리 시스템 수준의 메모리 대역폭과 전력 효율성을 보장한다. 메모리 시뮬레이터를 사용한 실험 평가를 통해 DRAS 기법이 컴퓨터 시스템 성능을 평균 12% 향상시키고 메모리 시스템의 전력소모를 평균 24% 감소시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

High levels for noise and a loss of true signal make the quantitative interpretation of nuclear medicine (NM) images difficult. An application of profile optimization using a sigmoidal function in this study was used to acquire the NM images with high quality. And the images were acquired by using three kinds of reconstruction method using each same sinogram: a standard filtered back-projection (FBP), an iterative reconstruction (IR) technique, and the sigmoidal function profile optimization (SFPO). Comparison of image according to reconstruction method was performed to show a superiority of the SFPO for imaging. The images reconstructed by using the SFPO showed an average of 1.49 times and of 1.17 times better in contrast than the results obtained using the standard FBP and the IR technique, respectively. Higher signal to noise ratios were obtained as an average of 12.30 times and of 3.77 times than results obtained using the standard FBP and the IR technique, respectively. This study confirms that reconstruction with SFPO (vs FBP and vs IR) can lead to better lesion detectability and characterization with noise reduction. It can be developed for future reconstruction technique for the NM imaging.

데이터 할당 기술은 데이터 방송 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 필수적이다. 본 논문은 다중 데이터 질의가 제기되는 환경에서 방송채널에 데이터를 할당하는 주제를 연구하여 DAMA(Data Allocation using Moving Average)로 명명된 새로운 데이터 할당 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 각 데이터의 방송빈도를 자신의 액세스 확률의 이동 평균에 의해 결정하는 전략을 채택한다. DAMA는 질의 크기에 따라 액세스 확률의 영향력을 적절하게 제어할 수 있기 때문에 질의 응답시간의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 제안된 기법의 성능 평가를 위해 시뮬레이션이 수행되었다. 실험 결과에 따르면, 평균 응답시간의 성능에서 DAMA는 다른 기법보다 우수한 성능을 보인다.

Recently, research on bolometer-type uncooled infrared image sensor which is made for industrial applications has been increasing. In general, it is difficult to calibrate fixed pattern noise (FPN) of bolometer array. In this paper, average-current calibration algorithm is presented for reducing bolometer resistance offset. A resistor which is produced by standard CMOS process, on the average, has a deviation. We compensate for deviation of each resistor using average-current calibration algorithm. The proposed algorithm has been implemented by a chip which is consisted of a bolometer pixel array, average current generators, current-to-voltage converters (IVCs), a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). These bolometer-resistor array and readout circuit were designed and manufactured by $0.35{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process.

Flow patterns around a rotating circular cylinder having square dimpled surface were visualized by the hydrogen bubble technique at velocity ratios from a=0 to 4.8 and Reynolds number of $Re=1.0{\times}10^{4}$. The wake region of the cylinder was reduced as the velocity ratios increase and was smaller than that of the smooth cylinder without dimples at the same velocity ratio. The hydrodynamic characteristics on the cylinder was investigated by measuring of lift and drag at velocity ratios from a=0 to 4.1 and Reynolds number from $Re=1.2{\times}10^{4}$ to $Re=2.0{\times}10^{4}$. As the velocity ratios increase, the average lift and drag coefficients were increased and at the same velocity ratio, the average lift was larger but the average drag was smaller than that of the smooth cylinder.
