This paper presents a low voltage operating IF QPSK receiver block which is consisted of programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and analog to digital converter. This PGA has 6 bit control and 250MHz bandwidth, $0{\sim}20\;dB$ gain range. Using the proposed PGA architecture (low distortion gain control switch block), we can process the continuous fully differential $0.2{\sim}2.5Vpp$ input/output range and 44MHz carrier with 2 MHz bandwidth signal at 1.8V supply voltage. Using the sub-sampling technique (input freq. is $44{\sim}46MHz$, sampling freq. is 25MHz), we can process the IF QPSK signal ($44{\sim}46MHz$) which is the output of the 6 bit PGA. We can get the SNDR 35dB, which is the result of PGA and ADC at full gain mode. We fabricated the PGA and ADC and the digital signal processing block of the IF QPSK with the 0.18um CMOS MIM process 1.8V Supply.

본 논문은 극소 원자블록(ultra small atomic block)에 공간예측(spatial prediction)을 적용하여 프랙탈(fractal) 영상압축의 압축시간을 획기적으로 향상시키고 화질/압축률을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 본 방법은 치역(range block)의 크기가 아주 작으면 아주 적은 탐색범위 내에서 변환계수(transformation parameter)들의 값을 극히 제한하더라도 유사한 정의역(domain block)을 쉽게 찾을 수 있고 변환계수들이 좋은 상호관계를 유지함을 이용하여 변환계수 예측으로 화질/압축률을 향상시킨다. 특히, 본 방법은 탐색범위를 극히 제한하기 때문에 기존의 프랙탈 압축방법들 보다 압축시간을 획기적으로 향상시킨다.

Background: We conducted this study to determine the optimal length of patellar and tibial bone blocks for the modified transtibial (TT) technique in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using the bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft. Methods: The current single-center, retrospective study was conducted in a total of 64 patients with an ACL tear who underwent surgery at our medical institution between March 2015 and February 2016. After harvesting the BPTB graft, we measured its length and that of the patellar tendon, patellar bone block, and tibial bone block using the arthroscopic ruler and double-checked measurements using a length gauge. Outcome measures included the length of tibial and femoral tunnels, inter-tunnel distance, length of the BPTB graft, patellar tendon, patellar bone block, and tibial bone block and graft-tunnel length mismatch. The total length of tunnels was defined as the sum of the length of the tibial tunnel, inter-tunnel distance and length of the femoral tunnel. Furthermore, the optimal length of the bone block was calculated as (the total length of tunnels - the length of the patellar tendon) / 2. We analyzed correlations of outcome measures with the height and body mass index of the patients. Results: There were 44 males (68.7%) and 20 females (31.3%) with a mean age of 31.8 years (range, 17 to 65 years). ACL reconstruction was performed on the left knee in 34 patients (53%) and on the right knee in 30 patients (47%). The optimal length of bone block was 21.7 mm (range, 19.5 to 23.5 mm). When the length of femoral tunnel was assumed as 25 mm and 30 mm, the optimal length of bone block was calculated as 19.6 mm (range, 17 to 21.5 mm) and 22.1 mm (range, 19.5 to 24 mm), respectively. On linear regression analysis, patients' height had a significant correlation with the length of tibial tunnel (p = 0.003), inter-tunnel distance (p = 0.014), and length of patellar tendon (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our results indicate that it would be mandatory to determine the optimal length of tibial tunnel in the modified TT technique for ACL reconstruction using the BPTB graft. Further large-scale, multi-center studies are warranted to establish our results.

본 논문에서는 연속적인 레인지(range) 영상 자료로부터 동작 벡터를 추출하는 새로운 블록 정합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘은 단일 특징을 사용하지 않고 다중 특징인 명암값, 색상, 레인지 특징의 세 가지 특징을 통합한 정합 유사 함수를 정의하며, 엔트로피를 이용하여 각 특징의 기여도를 구한 후 이를 가중치의 형태로 정합 유사 함수에 적용한다. 그리고 제안된 알고리즘은 고정된 블록 템플릿을 사용하지 않고 가변적인 크기의 블록 템플릿을 사용한다. 제안한 블록 정합에서는 먼저 작은 정합 템플릿으로 블록 정합을 시작한다. 만일 정합 정도가 좋지 않으면 정합 템플릿의 크기를 조금 확장한 후 본 논문에서 정의한 정합기준이 만족하거나 사전에 정의된 최대 블록 크기에 도달할 때까지 블록정합을 반복한다. 실험에서는 본 논문에서 제안한 블록 정합 알고리즘과 기존의 다른 알고리즘의 성능을 비교 분석하여 제안한 알고리즘의 우수함을 보인다.

This paper presents a method of adaptive image enhancement with dynamic range compression and contrast enhancement. The dynamic range compression is to adaptively enhance the dark area using illumination component of DCT compression block. The contrast enhancement is to modify the image contrast using retinex theory that uses the HVS properties. The block artifacts and other noises, caused by processing in the compression domain, were removed by after processing.

A new 2-D block Kalman filtering method which uses a nonlinear function is presented to generate a more accurate filtered estimate of a range image that has been corrupted by additive noise. Novel 2-D block Kalman filtering method is constructed of the conventional method and nonlinear function which utilizes to control estimation error. We show that novel 2-D Kalman filtering method using a nonlinear function is effective at reducing the additive noise, not distorting shape edges.

In this paper, a background initialization for video surveillance proposed. The proposed algorithm is that the background images are sampled n frames during ${\Delta}t$ All Sampling frames are divided by $M{\times}N$ size block every frame. Average values of pixels for same location block of the sampling frames during ${\Delta}t$t are taken. then the maximum intensity $\alpha$ and the minimun intensity $\beta$ is obtained, respecticely. The intial by $M{\times}N$ size block, then average intensity $\eta$ of pixels for the block is obtained. If the average intensity $\eta$ is out of the initial range of the background image, it is decided the moving object image, and if the average intensity $\eta$ is included in the initial range of the background image. it is decided the background image. To examine the propriety of the proposed algorithm in this paper, the accuracy and robustness evaluation results for human and car in the indoor and outdoor enviroment. the error rate of the proposed method is less than the existing methods and the extraction rate of the proposed method is better than the existing methods.

Diblock copolymers with different poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL) block lengths were synthesized by ringopening polymerization of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone in the presence of monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG-OH, MW 2000) as initiator. The self-aggregation behaviors of the diblock copolymer nanoparticle, prepared by the diafiltration method, were investigated by using $^1H$ NMR, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and fluorescence spectroscopy. The PEG-PCL block copolymers formed the nano-sized self-aggregate in an aqueous environment by intrsa- and/or intermolecular association between hydrophobic PCL chains. The critical aggregation concentrations (cac) of the block copolymer self-aggregate became lower with increasing hydrophobic PCL block length. On the other hand, reverse trends of mean hydrodynamic diameters were measured by DLS owing to the increasing bulkiness of the hydrophobic chains and hydrophobic interaction between the PCL microdomains. The hydrodynamic diameters of the block copolymer nanoparticles, measured by DLS, were in the range of 65-270 nm. Furthermore, the size of the nanoparticles was scarcely affected by the concentration of the block copolymers in the range of 0.125-5 mg/mL owing to the negligible interparticular aggregation between the self-aggregated nanoparticles. Considered with the fairly low cac and nanoparticle stability, the PEG-PCL nanoparticles can be considered a potential candidate for biomedical applications such as drug carrier or imaging agent.
