  • A transformerless converter suitable for multiphase drive application is presented in this paper. The topology employs a cascaded H-bridge rectifier as the interface between the grid and multi inverters which drive the multiphase motor. Compared with the conventional structure, the new topology eliminates the input transformer and also has the advantages such as four quadrant operation, simple configuration, low cost, high efficiency, and so on. The control strategies for the grid-side cascade H-bridge rectifier and the motor-side inverter are studied accordingly. Based on the multi-rotational reference frame, modular control scheme is developed to regulate the multiphase drive system. Simulation results show the proper operation of the proposed topology and the corresponding control strategy.

  • In this paper, error performance of DS-CDMA communication system has been analyzed in a radio channel which is characterized by multi-user interference (MUI). Also, performance improvement has been obtained by both numerical analysis and simulation techniques when 3-element array antenna and co-channel interference (CCI) canceller are employed as a means for overcoming an MUI effect. The MUI was modelled as a gaussian random process. In array antenna scheme we only considered a directivity of antennal. The results show that there is a substantial enhancement in performance by employing an array antenna or a CCI canceller. CCI canceller gives better improvement in performance than the array antenna with D=2.67. Additional improvement can be obtained when the array antenna and the CCI canceller are adopted in cascade form. In this case the error performance approaches that of AWGN environment.

  • 운전자의 주의력 감쇠는 교통사고 요인에 있어서 큰 비중을 차지한다. 주의력 감쇠는 무선 통화, 기기 조작, 졸음으로 나타날 수 있는데 자동차 대형사고의 대부분은 졸음운전으로 인하여 일어나며, 졸음운전 시에는 운전자의 운전조작 및 방어 조작 능력이 현저하게 저하한다. 본 시스템은 카메라로부터 실시간으로 영상 데이터를 입력 받아 처리하여 운전자의 졸음 상태를 인식하는 시스템으로 운전자에게 졸음방지 기능을 제공한다. Haar-Like Feature cascade classifier 방법을 사용하여 얼굴 및 눈 영역 검출을 하였고 Open Eye, Closed Eye가 학습된 MLP(Multi-Layer Perceptron)를 이용해 눈 깜박임을 인식하여 PERCLOS(Percentage of Eye Close)방법으로 졸음을 판단하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 인식률의 정확도를 검증하기 위해 인식률 테스트를 하였다.

  • ZBTB3 belongs to the Zinc finger and BTB/POZ domain containing transcription factor family; however, its biological role has rarely been studied. We demonstrate for the first time, to our knowledge, that ZBTB3 is an essential factor for cancer cell growth via the regulation of the ROS detoxification pathway. Suppression of ZBTB3 using two different short hairpin RNAs in human melanoma, lung carcinoma, and breast carcinoma results in diminished cell growth. In addition, we found that suppression of ZBTB3 activates a caspase cascade, including caspase-9, -3, and PARP leading to cellular apoptosis, resulting from failed ROS detoxification. We identified that ZBTB3 plays an important role in the gene expression of ROS detoxification enzymes. Our results reveal that ZBTB3 may play a critical role in cancer cell growth via the ROS detoxification system. Therefore, therapeutic strategies that target ZBTB3 could be used in selective cancer treatments.

  • Face detection plays an important role in HCI and face recognition. In this paper, we propose a rotation-invariant real-time face detection algorithm for color images in complex background. It consists of four processing step: (1) motion detection, (2) skin color region filler, (3) Eyemap detector for rotated face, and (4) Adaboost face classifier. This system has been tested in in-door environments, such as office and achieves over 95% detection rate.

  • Arachidonic acid (AA), which is stored in membrane glycerophospholipids, is liberated by phospholipase $A_2$ (PLA$_2$) enzymes and is sequentially converted to cyclooxygenases (COXs) and lipoxygenases (LOXs) then to various bioactive PGs, and LTs. In order to find the specific inhibitors of AA metabolism especially PLA$_2$, COX-2, 5-LO and lyso PAF acetyltransferase, 120 Korean residential plants extracts were evaluated for their inhibitory activity on PGD$_2$, LTC$_4$ production from cytokine-induced mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) and arachidonic acid released from phospholipid and PAF production from lyso PAF. From this screening procedure, methanol extract of ten indigenous plant such as Salix gracilistyla, Sedum kamtschaticum, Cirsium chanroenicum, Hypericum ascyron, Astilbe chinensis, Agrimonia pilosa, Aristolochia manshuriensis, Vodia daniellii, Pyrola japonica, Styrax obassia were found to inhibit production of inflammatory mediators in vitro assay system.

  • This paper proposes a new speed and tension control algorithm for multi-span continuous strip processing line. In this algorithm the speed reference of each roll is adjusted to make the output force follow the load balance reference using an outer loop controller in cascade. Using the information of the output force of the adjacent roll, it is shown that the strip tension between two rolls can be controlled as the desired value without tension sensor. An experimental set-up which consists of 4 driven and 3 measuring rolls is designed and built for the multi-span speed and tension control. The experimental result reveals conspicuous improvement of tension control performance by the proposed algorithm comparing to the conventional tension feedback controller.
