We demonstrate a k-domain linearization using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array for Fourier domain optical coherence tomography based on a wavelength swept laser. The k-domain linearization is carried out with an interpolation method using a FBG array with five FBGs. The measured signal-to-noise ratio from the point spread function after k-domain linearization is 12 dB improved over that of without k-domain linearization at the 1 mm depth of the sample. Clear OCT imaging of the slide glass with k-domain linearization could be obtained.

Optical coherence tomography system has been extensively studied because it has some advantages such as imaging of high resolution, low cost, and compact size configuration. In order to obtain high resolution of OCT system we configured OCT system using a femto-second laser. We measure the pulse width using autocorrelator function because a femto-second laser is ultra short pulse. And we measured the practical resolution using theoretical equation and the measurement of reference sample. It is confirmed that the proposed OCT system has 1.5 times higher resolution and un distinctive cross-sectional image than OCT system with SLD as a light source.

A fiberoptic sensor using a low-coherence SLD as a light source has been studied. The sensor system employing an intrinsic fiber Fabry-Peort interferometer as a sensing tip and a fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer as a processing one, overcomes the ambiguous reading caused by the highly periodic natrue of conventional high-precision interferometric sensors and provides unambiguous identification of the desired phase among several candidates on the transfer function of an interferometric signal. A tentative application to the temperature sensor shows the potential that the fiberoptic sensor has a side-dynamic range of $0-900^{\circ}C$ as well as reasonable resolution higher than $0.1^{\circ}C$ without ambiguity. Due to the inherent property of the optical fiber itself and the intrinsic fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer, the proposed fiberoptic sensor will give obvious benefits when it is applied to harsh environments to monitor some physical parameters such as temperature, strain, pressure and vibration.

The Continuous Wavelets Transform project signal f(t) to "Time-scale"plan utilizing the time varied function which called "wavelets". This Transformation permit to analyze scale time dependence of signal f(t) thus the local or global scale properties can be extracted. Moreover, the signal f(t) can be reconstructed stably by utilizing the Inverse Continuous Wavelets Transform. In this paper, the EEG signal is analyzed by wavelets coherence method and the De-noising procedure is represented.

The van Cittert-Zernike theorem has been used in radio astronomy. Recently, the van Cittert-Zernike theorem has been tried to 3D source reconstruction. A couple of interferometer has been used in 3D coherence imaging like Michelson Stellar Interferometer and Rotational Shearing Interferometer. We propose a new type of interferometer, which is a wavefront folding interferometer with a corner cube. By characteristics of the corner cube, it is capable of measuring both mutual intensity and cross spectral density function, and it is very easy to align and robust to disturbance. We simulate the feasibility of this interferometer setup by simulation of point source reconstruction.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship among quality of life, family coherence, family hardiness, and family resources of the family care-giver caring for a cancer patient. Method: Data was collected by questionnaires from 137 families with a cancer patient at a General Hospital and Government Cancer Hospital. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The score of quality of life showed a significant positive correlation with the score of the level of family sense of coherence, family hardiness, and family resources. The most powerful predictor of quality of life was sense of coherence and the variance was 30%. A combination of sense of coherence and family resources account for 34 % of the variance in quality of life of the family care-giver caring for a cancer patient. Conclusion: The results showed that family sense of coherence, hardiness, and family resources were significant influencing factors on the quality of life of the family care-giver caring for a cancer patient.

A video segmentation algorithm, which can extract objects even with non-stationary backgrounds, is proposed in this work. The proposed algorithm is composed of three steps. First, we perform an initial segmentation interactively to build the probability density functions of colors per each macro block via kernel density estimation. Then, for each subsequent frame, we construct a coherence strip, which is likely to contain the object contour, by exploiting spatio-temporal correlations. Finally, we perform the segmentation by minimizing an energy function composed of color, coherence, and smoothness terms. Experimental results on various test sequences show that the proposed algorithm provides accurate segmentation results.

Underwater acoustic communication channel parameters consist of impulse response, delay spreading, scattering function, coherence bandwidth, frequency selective fading, coherence time and time variant magnitude fading statistics on which communication system modem and channel coding are designed. These parameters are influenced by sound velocity profile, platform motion and sea surface roughness in given acoustical oceanography condition. In this paper, channel model based on phasor, channel simulator, measurement and analysis method of channel parameters are given in a fixed source-to-receiver system and the parameters are analyzed using shallow water experimental data. For two different source-to-receiver ranges of 300 m and 600 m, the parameters are characterized by three multipaths such as a direct, a surface reflection path with time variant scattering and a bottom reflection path. The results present a channel modelling method of a fixed source source-to-receiver system, channel parameters measurement and analysis methods and a system design and performance assessment method in shallow water.

It is necessary to determine the vibration source and its transmission paths in order to develop a low-noise compressor. Through the use of multiple-input/single-output(MISO) mode1, the transmission paths of vibration within a reciprocating compressor have been investigated. In order to identify the transmission path, we measure the accelerations of the block and transverse vibrations of the line discharge tube. As outputs, vibrations of compressor shell were measured at three positions; cylinder head, one near the suction line, and the top of upper shell. The partial coherence function and transfer function are obtained ken the measured data, and the results are observed in order to determine vibration source and its influence on the shell vibration.

음질 평가에는 주관적 음질 평가법과 객관적 음질 평가법이 있는데, 주관적 음질 평가법은 사람이 직접 듣고 평가하므로 실제 체감 음질을 나타낸다. 그러나 많은 사람들에 의하여 직접 평가되므로 비용과 시간이 많이 소모되는 단점이 있다. 객관적 음질 평가법은 수학적인 계산에 의하여 원음과 왜곡음의 유사성을 비교하는 것으로 빠르고 비용이 적게 되나 실제 체감 음질과는 거리과 있다. 본 논문에서는 객관적 음질 평가 척도로 BCF(Bark Coherence Function)을 제안한다. BCF는 심리 음향 영역에서 코히어런스 함수를 정의한 것으로 기존의 객관적 음질 평가법에 비하여 주관적 음질과 상관관계가 높고 계산량이 적다. CDMA 이동 전화 시스템의 음성 데이터와 회기분석 결과, BCF가 ITU-T 표준안의 PSQM(Perceptual Speech Quality Measure)와 MNB(Measuring Normalizing Block)에 비하여 높은 상관관계를 갖음을 입증하였다.
