In this paper, blind equalization using a modified Fuzzy C-Means algorithm with Gaussian Weights (MFCM_GW) is attempted to the heavy noise-corrupted channels. The proposed algorithm can deal with both of linear and nonlinear channels, because it searches for the optimal channel output states of a channel instead of estimating the channel parameters in a direct manner. In contrast to the common Euclidean distance in Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), the use of the Bayesian likelihood fitness function and the Gaussian weighted partition matrix is exploited in its search procedure. The selected channel states by MFCM_GW are always close to the optimal set of a channel even the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is heavily corrupted in it. Simulation studies demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is relatively superior to existing genetic algorithm (GA) and conventional FCM based methods in terms of accuracy and speed.

최신 영상 기법인 MAGiC sequence의 RF coil channel 수 변화에 따른 T1, T2 이완 시간 및 T1, T2 이완율을 측정하여 분석하였고 그에 따른 재현성을 평가하였다. Channel 수가 각각 (1, 8, 16, 32)channel 인 RF coil에 조영제 phantom(1.0, 0.6, 0.2, 0mM)을 위치시키고 MAGiC sequence를 이용하여 T1, T2, R1, R2 map을 획득하였다. 그리고 각각의 channel 수와 농도별로 T1, T2, R1, R2 value 그리고 relaxation rate를 측정하였고 이를 기반으로 각 농도에 따른 Relaxivity를 구하였다. 각각의 coil에서 T1, T2, R1, R2 value를 측정한 결과 T1, R1 value는 coil간의 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 하지만 T2, R2 value는 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 사후분석 결과에서는 T2 value의 경우 1 channel coil에서 측정한 결과가 8, 16, 32 channel coil에서 측정한 결과와 유의한 차이가 나타났고(p<0.05) 8, 16, 32 channel coil간의 차이는 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05). R2 value의 경우도 마찬가지로 1 channel coil에서 측정한 결과가 8, 16, 32 channel coil에서 측정한 결과와 유의한 차이가 나타났으며 또한 8 channel coil에서 측정한 결과와 16 channel coil에서 측정한 결과가 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 T1, R1 value는 coil의 channel 수 변화에 따른 차이가 크지 않지만 T2, R2 value는 큰 차이를 나타냈다. 따라서 MAGiC sequence를 이용하여 T2, R2 value를 정량적으로 측정할 경우 재현성을 위해 동일한 channel 수의 coil을 사용해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 개선된 퍼지 클러스터(Modified Fuzzy C-Means: MFCM) 알고리즘을 이용하여 블라인드 비선형 채널등화기를 구현하였다. 이를 위해 제안된 MFCM은 기존의 유클리디언 거리 값 대신 Bayesian Likelihood 목적함수(fitness function)를 이용하여 채널의 출력으로 수신된 데이터들로부터 비선형 채널의 최적의 채널 출력 상태 값(optimal channel output states)을 추정한다. 이렇게 구해진 채널 출력 상태 값들로 비선형 채널의 이상적 채널 상태(desired channel states) 벡터를 구성하고 이를 Radial Basis Function(RBF) 등화기의 중심(center)으로 활용하여 송신된 데이터 심볼을 찾아낸다. 실험에서는 무작위 이진 신호에 가우스 잡음을 추가한 데이터를 사용하여 하이브리드 유전자 알고리즘 (genetic algorithm(GA) merged with simulated annealing (SA): GASA)과 그 성능을 비교하였으며, 제안된 MFCM을 이용한 등화기가 GASA를 사용한 것 보다 상대적으로 정확도와 속도 면에서 우수함을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 Muskingum 하도추적모형을 수문학적으로 재해석하여 지체효과만을 고려하는 선형하천모형과 저류효과만을 고려하는 선형저수지모형의 선형결합으로 나타내었다. 유도된 모형은 일종의 순간단위도의 형태가 되며, 그 매개 변수는 Muskingum 모형의 매개변수와 동일하다. 즉, 추적시간간격 ${\Delta}t$ 또는지체시간 $T_c$ 후에 최초의 유출이 발생하게 되고, 총 유입량 중 x 만큼은 선형하천모형에 의해 저류효과 없이 빠져나가고 나머지(1-x) 만큼은 선형저수지모형에 의해 저류상수 $K_c$로 대변되는 저류효과를 나타내며 빠져나가는 형태이다. Muskingum 하도추적 모형과 그에 대응하는 순간단위도를 가상하도에 적용해 본 결과, 두 모형이 근본적으로 하도추적결과가 동일함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 대청댐 방류량에 대한 금남 및 공주지점까지의 하도추적결과에서도 확인할 수 있었다.

A microchannel PCHE is manufactured by the two technologies of micro photo-etching and diffusion bonding. In this paper, heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics by applying various configuration for the flow channel in the microchannel PCHE is experimentally investigated. The flow channel configurations are designed three types such as straight, wavy and offset strip channels. The performance experiment of each configuration is performed for Reynolds numbers in ranges of $100{\sim}700$ under various flow conditions for the hot side and the Reynolds number of cold side is fixed at 350. The inlet temperatures of the hot side and cold side are conducted as $40^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. The heat transfer performance of wavy channel, which was similar to that of offset strip channel, was much higher than that of straight channel. The effectiveness of wavy channel and offset strip channel was evaluated as about $0.5{\sim}0.9$. The pressure drop of wavy channel was highest among configurations and that of offset strip channel was lower than that of straight channel because the round curved surface of each strip edge was reduced the pressure loss.

The modification of conditional Fuzzy C-Means (CFCM) with Gaussian weights (CFCM_GW) is accomplished for blind equalization of channels in this paper. The proposed CFCM_GW can deal with both of linear and nonlinear channels, because it searches for the optimal desired states of an unknown channel in a direct manner, which is not dependent on the type of channel structure. In the search procedure of CFCM_GW, the Bayesian likelihood fitness function, the Gaussian weighted partition matrix and the conditional constraint are exploited. Especially, in contrast to the common Euclidean distance in conventional Fuzzy C-Means(FCM), the Gaussian weighted partition matrix and the conditional constraint in the proposed CFCM_GW make it more robust to the heavy noise communication environment. The selected channel states by CFCM_GW are always close to the optimal set of a channel even when the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is heavily corrupted. These given channel states are utilized as the input of the Bayesian equalizer to reconstruct transmitted symbols. The simulation studies demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is relatively superior to those of the existing conventional FCM based approaches in terms of accuracy and speed.

In this study, a modified Fuzzy C-Means algorithm with Gaussian weights (MFCM_GW) is presented for the problem of nonlinear blind channel equalization. The proposed algorithm searches for the optimal channel output states of a nonlinear channel based on received symbols. In contrast to conventional Euclidean distance in Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), the use of the Bayesian likelihood fitness function and the Gaussian weighted partition matrix is exploited in this method. In the search procedure, all possible sets of desired channel states are constructed by considering the combinations of estimated channel output states. The set of desired states characterized by the maxima] value of the Bayesian fitness is selected and updated by using the Gaussian weights. After this procedure, the Bayesian equalizer with the final desired states is implemented to reconstruct transmitted symbols. The performance of the proposed method is compared with those of a simplex genetic algorithm (GA), a hybrid genetic algorithm (GA merged with simulated annealing (SA):GASA), and a previously developed version of MFCM. In particular, a relative]y high accuracy and a fast search speed have been observed.

Electrical properties of $Si_{0.88}Ge_{0.12}(C)$ p-MOSFETs have been exploited in an effort to investigate $Si_{0.88}Ge_{0.12}(C)$ channel structures designed especially to suppress diffusion of dopants during epitaxial growth and subsequent fabrication processes. The incorporation of 0.1 percent of carbon in $Si_{0.88}Ge_{0.12}$ channel layer could accomodate stress due to lattice mismatch and adjust bandgap energy slightly, but resulted in deteriorated current-voltage properties in a broad range of operation conditions with depressed gain, high subthreshold current level and many weak breakdown electric field in gateoxide. $Si_{0.88}Ge_{0.12}(C)$ channel structures with boron delta-doping represented increased conductance and feasible use of modulation doped device of $Si_{0.88}Ge_{0.12}(C)$ heterostructures.

In this paper, we present our proposed magnetic induction based wireless communication system. The proposed system is designed to perform communication as well as distance measurement in underground environments. In order to improve the communication quality, we propose and implement the adaptive channel compensation technique. Based on the fact that the channel may be fast time-varying, we keep track of the channel status each time the data is received and accordingly compensate the channel coefficient for any change in the channel status. By using the proposed compensation technique, the developed platform can reliably communicate over distances of 10m while the packet error rate is being maintained under 5%. We also implement the distance measurement block that is useful for various applications that should promptly estimate the location of nearby nodes in communication. The distance between two nodes in communication is estimated by generating a table describing pairs of the magnetic signal strength and the corresponding distance. The experiment result shows that the platform can estimate the distance of a node located within 10m range with the measurement error less than 50cm.
