In this paper, we propose a novel method of design and implementation for the multimedia monitoring system using Web Camera. Recently WebCam is variously applied to many different areas and implemented as an improved performance using convenient functions of Web in this Internet era. Multimedia moving pictures has been popularly used in a variety of ways in different areas of monitoring systems in order to enhance the performance and the service with their data compression capability and the speed of the communication network these days. The design method of WebCam system presented in this paper might offer not only a convenient function of the monitoring system but great application capabilities. It can be used for a real time application of the multimedia picture and audio transmission so that the monitoring system can manage the security information in the sense for the reality. Tn addition, the monitoring system may be used as an inreal-time application using data storage and retrieval features of the Web. We offer both functions of monitoring in this structured form of implemented system.

Although cavernous angioma itself is not rare, the epidural spinal localization is uncommon and makes preoperative differential diagnosis difficult. An extraordinary case of a thoracic epidural cavernous angioma in very young age, causing sudden paraplegia is presented. Only 79 cases have been reported in the literatures and among them, this kid was the youngest. A 23-month-old boy was referred to us with a 2-day history of sudden both lower limb weakness. Two days before admission, he got up at morning and was unable to stand and even to move the legs. MRI revealed an epidural mass surrounding spinal cord associated with cord compression at the level of the C5 through T3. Through posterior approach with exposure of C6 to T3 level, the hematomatous mass was removed subtotally due to intraoperative bleeding and its ventral location. After the first operation, the weakness of bilateral lower extremities was improved so as to move gainst the gravity. But the next day, the limb weakness was aggravated as same as preoperative status due to mass effect of new hematoma. The second operation was performed to remove the hematoma and to control the bleeding focus. Several weeks later, the limb weakness was improved and he was able to walk. The literatures about spinal cavernous angioma are reviewed.

Clusters of workstations (COW) are becoming an attractive option for parallel scientific computing, a field formerly reserved to the MPPs, because their cost-performance ratio is usuallybetter than that of comparable MPPS, and their hardware and software can be easily enhanced to thelatest generations. In this paper we present the design and implementation of our runtime library forclusters of workstations, called "Collective I/O Clustering". The library provides a friendlyprogramming model for the I/O of irregular applications on clusters of workstations, being completelyintegrated with the underlying communication and I/O system. In the collective I/O clustering, two I/Oconfigurations are possible. In the first I/O configuration, all processors allocated can act as I/Oservers as well as compute nodes. In the second I/O configuration, only a subset of processors canact as I/O servers, The compression and software caching facilities have been incorporated into thecollective 1/0 clustering to optimize the communication and I/O costs. All the performance results wereobtained on the IBM-SP machine, located at Argonne National Labs.

The classical two-degree-of-freedom (2-d-o-f) "sectional model" is currently used to study the dynamics of suspension bridges. Taking into account the first pair of vertical and torsional modes of the bridge, it describes well global oscillations caused by wind actions on the deck and yields very useful information on the overall behaviour and the aerodynamic and aeroelastic response, but does not consider relative oscillation between main cables and deck. The possibility of taking into account these relative oscillations, that can become significant for very long span bridges, is the main purpose of the 4-d-o-f model, proposed by the Authors in previous papers and fully developed here. Longitudinal deformability of the hangers (assumed linear elastic in tension and unable to react in compression) and external loading on the cables are taken into account: thus not only global oscillations, but also relative oscillations between cables and deck can be described. When the hangers go slack, large nonlinear oscillations are possible; if the hangers remain taut, the oscillations are small and essentially linear. This paper describes the model proposed for small and large oscillations, and investigates in detail the limit condition for linear response under harmonic actions on the cables (e.g., like those that could be generated by vortex shedding). These results are sufficient to state that, with geometric and mechanical parameters in a range corresponding to realistic cases of large span suspension bridges, large relative oscillations between main cables and deck cannot be excluded, and therefore should not be neglected in the design. Forthcoming papers will investigate more general cases of loading and dynamic response of the model.

Ion exchange resins can be one of the good carriers for sustained drug release. However, the sustained release may not be enough only with themselves and hence film coating with rate controlling polymers can be applied to have a further effect on the drug release. Due to the environmental and economic issues of organic solvent for the polymer coating, aqueous polymeric systems were selected to develop dosage forms. Among the many aqueous polymeric dispersions for the film coating, EC (ethylcellulose) based polymers such as Aquacoat$^{(R)}$ ECD and Surelease$^{(R)}$ were evaluated.A fluid-bed coating was applied as a processing method. The drug release rate was quite dependent on the coating level so the release rate could be modified easily by changing different levels of the coating. The drug release rate in the Aquacoat$^{(R)}$ coated resin particles was strongly dependent on curing, which is a thermal treatment to make homogeneous films and circumvent drug release changes during storage. After dissolution test using the compressed tablets in which the coated resin particles are contained, inhomogeneous coating and even pores could be observed showing that the mechanical properties of EC were not resistant to granulation and compaction process. However, when tablets were prepared in different batches, the release profiles were almost identical showing the feasibility of the coated resin particle as incorporated into the tablet formulation.

JBIG2, as the next generation standard for binary image compression, must be designed in hardware modules for the JBIG2 FAX to be implemented in an embedded equipment. This paper proposes a hardware module of the high-speed Huffman coder for JBIG2. The Huffman coder of JBIG2 uses selectively 15 Huffman tables. As the Huffman coder is designed to use minimal data and have an efficient memory usage, high speed processing is possible. The designed Huffman coder is ported to Virtex-4 FPGA and co-operating with a software modules on the embedded development board using Microblaze core. The designed IP was successfully verified using the simulation function test and hardware-software co-operating test. Experimental results shows the processing time is 10 times faster than that of software only on embedded system, because of hardware design using an efficient memory usage.

The thin cylindrical shell structure under compression should be checked with buckling stability. Initial imperfection effects on buckling strength has been investigated by many researchers. Even though there have been a number of these studies, more studies of buckling strength with various initial imperfections are still necessary. In Eurocode, there is a design parameter that is applicable only on specific imperfection by section thickness rather than on various initial imperfection. In this study, structural analyses, using geometry and material nonlinear analysis, of cylindrical buckling strength with various initial imperfection were performed and compared with Eurocode design strength and Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis results. Moreover, the modified design parameter, which gives more exact prediction result of buckling strength under bending with initial imperfection, is proposed for various initial imperfections.

A pattern matching algorithm plays an important role in traffic identification and classification based on predefined patterns for intrusion detection and prevention. As attacks become prevalent and complex, current patterns are written using regular expressions, called regexes, which are expressed into the deterministic finite automata(DFA) due to the guaranteed worst-case performance in pattern matching process. Currently, because of the increased complexity of regex patterns and their large number, memory-efficient DFA from states reduction have become the mainstay of pattern matching process. However, most of the previous works have focused on reducing only the number of states on a single automaton, and thus there still exists a state blowup problem under the large number of patterns. To solve the above problem, we propose a new state compression algorithm that merges states on multiple automata. We show that by merging states with the same input character on multiple automata, the proposed algorithm can lead to a significant reduction of the number of states in the original DFA by as much as 40.0% on average.

In this paper, since we currently using surveillance system of analog type bring about waste of resource and efficiency deterioration problems, we describe new solution that design and implementation to the digital surveillance system of new type applying compression techniques and encoding techniques of image data using MPEG-2 international standard. Also, we proposed fast motion estimation algorithm requires much less than the convectional digital surveillance camera system. In this paper a fast motion estimation algorithm is proposed the MPEG-2 video encoding. This algorithm is based on a hybrid use of the block matching technique and gradient technique. Also, we describe a method of moving object extraction directly using MPEG-2 video data. Since proposed method is very simple and requires much less computational power than the conventional object detection methods. In this paper we don't use specific H/W and this system is possible only software encoding, decoding and transmission real-time for image data.

In this paper, we propose the improved method for retrieving images with DC element of DCT that is used in image compression such as JPEG/MPEG. The existing method retrieves images with DC of fixed block size DCT. In this method, the increase in the block size results in faster retrieving speed, but it lessens the accuracy. The decrease in the block size improves the accuracy, however, it degrades the retrieving speed. In order to solve this problem, the proposed method utilizes the variable block size DCT. This method first determines the existence of object regions within each block, and then creates an image region table. Based on this table, it determines the size of each block, following a simple rule; decrease the block size in the object regions, and increase the block size in the background regions. The proposed method using variable block size DCT improves about 15% in terms of the accuracy. Additionally, when there rarely exist images of same pattern, it is able to retrieve faster only by comparing the image region patterns.
