In this paper, we present a new blocking artifact reduction algorithm using interpolation and signal adaptive filter (SAF) based on the edge map. Generally, block-based coding, such as JPEG and MPEG, is the most popular image compression method. However, for high compression it produces noticeable blocking and ringing artifacts in the decoded image. In proposed method, all the block is classified into low and high frequency blocks in block classification procedure. And edge map is obtained by using Sobel operator on decoded image. And according to the block property we applied blocking artifacts reduction algorithm. Namely, four neighbor low frequency block is participated in interpolation based on edge map. And ringing artifacts is removed by applying a signal adaptive filter around the edge using edge map in high frequency block. The computer simulation results confirmed a better performance by the proposed method in both the subjective and objective image qualities.

This paper proposes a current differential relay for transformer protection that operates in accordance with a blocking method based on the difference-function of a differential current. For magnetic inrush and over-excitation, discontinuities in the first-difference function of the differential current arise at the points of inflection, which correspond to the start and end of each saturation period of the core. These discontinuities are converted into the pulses in the second- and third-difference functions of the differential current. The magnitudes of the pulses are large enough to detect saturation of the core. A blocking signal is issued if the magnitude of the third-difference function exceeds the threshold and is maintained for three quarters of a cycle. The performance of the relay is assessed under various conditions with magnetic inrush, internal faults and external faults. The proposed blocking method can improve significantly the operating time of a relay and achieve high sensitivity of a relay.

본 논문에서는 웨이브렛 변환을 이용하여 블록기반 변환 부호화 영상에서의 블록화 현상을 반복적으로 제거하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법에서는 블록화 현상이 수직, 수평 방향의 블록 경계를 따라 수직, 수평으로만 나타나는 점에 착안하여, 블록화 현상이 있는 영상 신호를 수직, 수평 방향의 분리적인 1차원 신호의 집합으로 간주하고 Gaussian 형태 함수의 1차 도함수를 모 웨이브렛으로 하는 1차원 웨이브렛 영역에서의 평균 자승 오차를 최소화시키는 필터로써 첫 번째 스케일 웨이브렛 영역의 블록 경계 위치에서의 분산이 다른 위치에 비하여 유달리 크게 나타나도록 하는 블록화 현상에 의한 신호 성분을 제거하는 과정과 양자화에 관한 블록 집합으로 투영하는 과정을 반복적으로 수행하여 블록화 현상이 제거된 영상을 얻는다. 실험결과, 제안된 방법은 0.56 - 1.07dB의 PSNR 성능 향상뿐만 아니라 에지 몽롱화가 없이 블록화 현상이 거의 제거된 주관적 화질 개선을 보였다.

This paper describes a percentage current differential relaying algorithm for bus protection blocked by a CT saturation detection algorithm. The detection algorithm blocks the output of a current differential relay only if a differential current is caused by CT saturation in the case of an external fault. Moreover, if a current differential relay operates faster than the detection algorithm, the blocking signal is not ignited. On the other hand. if the detection algorithm operates faster than a current differential relay, the output of the relay is blocked. The results of the simulation show that the proposed algorithm can discriminate internal faults from external faults ever when a CT is saturated in both cases. This paper concludes by implementing the algorithm into the TMS320C6701 digital signal processor. The results of hardware implementation are also satisfactory The algorithm can not only increase the sensitivity of the current differential relay but Improve the stability of the relay for an external faults.

In this paper, we propose a post-processing method to reduce the blocking artifacts. We perform the post-processing only in the spatial domain so that it is readily applicable to real-time video decoder. Many approaches proposed so far for deblocking deal with only The luminance signal. but here we propose processing the chrominance signals as well since the low bit rare application where the blocking artifacts are most problematic suffers significantly from the color misalignment caused by blocking artifacts occurring to chrominance data as well. The proposed method is composed of low pass filtering in two steps considering the edge direction. The first step is the IIR low pass filtering in the diagonal direction, and the second step is another IIR low pass filtering in horizontal and vertical directions.

본 논문에서는 섹터의 트래픽 부하를 균일하게 유지시킴으로써 기지국 시스템의 전체 용량을 효과적으로 활용하기 위한 적응섹터 씬 시스템의 성능을 실제 이동통신 채널환경에서 측정한 채널 데이터를 이용하여 분석하였다. 측정은 채널 환경이 다른 여러 지점에서 1.95GHz의 QPSK 신호를 전송하였고, 높은 건물이 많은 대도시 환경의 건물옥상에 $8{\times}4$ 배열 안테나를 설치하여 전송된 신호를 수신하였다. 또한 수신된 데이터를 분석하여 각 사용자 신호의 도달각 분산 및 시간지연 분산과 전체 사용자에 대한 공간 분포 확률을 추정하였으며, 이를 결합하여 실제의 전파 환경과 유사한 벡터 채널 모델링을 제안하였다. 우리는 제안한 공간 분포 모델링을 이용하여 적응 섹터 셀 시스템 사용 시의 호 차단율의 개선정도를 분석하였으며, 컴퓨터 모의실험 결과 적응 섹터 셀 시스템의 호 차단율이 고정 섹터 셀 시스템의 비해 크게 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 고정 섹터 셀 시스템의 경우에는 사용자 신호의 공간 분포 밀집도가 높을수록 호 차단율이 크게 증가하는데 비해, 적응 섹터 셀 시스템의 경우 호 차단율의 변화는 크지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

We proposed the infinity control principle to evaluate the Biological function. The H infinity control was applied to the Sodium (Na) ion selective gating channel on the excitable cellular membrane of the neural system. The channel opening, closing and inactivation processes were expressed by movements of three gates and one inactivation blocking particle in the channel pore. The rate constants of the channel state transition were set to be voltage dependent. The temporal changes in amounts per unit membrane area of the channel states were expressed by means of eight differential equations. The biochemical mimetic used to complete the Na ion selective channel was regarded as noise. The control inputs for ejecting the blocking particle with plugging in the channel pore were set for the active transition from inactivated states to a closed or open state. By applying the H infinity control, we computed temporal changes in the channel states, observers, control inputs and the worst case noises. The present paper will be available for evaluating the noise filtering function of the biological signal transmission system.

Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide is found in several types of edible brown algae. It has shown numerous biological activities; however, the molecular mechanisms on the activity against atopic dermatitis have not been reported yet. We now examined the effects of fucoidan on chemokine production co-induced by TNF-α/IFN-γ, and the possible mechanisms underlying these biological effects. Our data showed that fucoidan inhibited the TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced production of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and macrophagederived chemokine (MDC) mRNA in human keratinocytes HaCaT cells. Also, fucoidan suppressed phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1 in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, fucoidan significantly inhibited activation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERK) phosphorylation. These data indicate that fucoidan shows anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing the expression of TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced chemokines by blocking NF-κB, STAT1, and ERK1/2 activation, suggestive of as used as a therapeutic application in inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis.

A system has been developed for monitoring the effect of neuromuscular blocking frugs and the neuromuscular function during anesthesia and surgery. This system is composed of software and hardware, the latter are nerve stimulator, force transducer, interface board(preamplifier, filter, peripheral input/output) and personal computer (apple ll) , the former are programmed in ASSEMBLY and BASIC language. The nerve stimulator which is controlled by personal computer is capable of delivering single shocks at o.)Hz, train of four at 2Hz and tetanic stimulation at 30, 100, 200Hz. The response, adduction of the thumb, is sensed by the force transducer. The output of the force transducer Is amplified, filtered, converted digital signal and then processed by the per- sonal computer. The personal computer quantia4es twitch and traln of four tesponse and calculates the 74 ratio (Ta/Tl )between the first and fourth response of train of four. This ratio is used to estimate the level of the neuromuscular block. This system has reaserch potential for determining the effect of newer neuromuscular blocking drugs for comparlsion with presently used drugs of alternatively, for delerminig the effects of blocking drugs in altered physilogical states.
