The evolution of X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been based on the discovery of X-rays, the inception of the Radon transform, and the development of X-ray digital data acquisition systems and computer technology. Unlike conventional X-ray imaging (general radiography), CT reconstructs cross-sectional anatomical images of the internal structures according to X-ray attenuation coefficients (approximate tissue density) for almost every region in the body. This article reviews the essential physical principles and technical aspects of the CT scanner, including several notable evolutions in CT technology that resulted in the emergence of helical, multidetector, cone beam, portable, dual-energy, and phase-contrast CT, in integrated imaging modalities, such as positron-emission-tomography-CT and single-photon-emission-computed-tomography-CT, and in clinical applications, including image acquisition parameters, CT angiography, image adjustment, versatile image visualizations, volumetric/surface rendering on a computer workstation, radiation treatment planning, and target localization in radiotherapy. The understanding of CT characteristics will provide more effective and accurate patient care in the fields of diagnostics and radiotherapy, and can lead to the improvement of image quality and the optimization of exposure doses.

This paper presents a teleoperation system that combines computer network and an autonomous mobile robot. We control remotely an autonomous mobile robot with vision over the Internet to guide it under unknown environments in the real time. The main feature of this system is that local operators need a web browser and a computer connected to the communication network and so they can command the robot in a remote location through the home page. The hardware architecture of this system consists of an autonomous mobile robot, workstation, and local computers. The software architecture of this system includes the client part for the user interface and robot control as well as the server part for communication between users and robot. The server and client systems are developed using Java language which is suitable to internet application and supports multi-platform. Furthermore. this system offers an image compression method using JPEG concept which reduces large time delay that occurs in network during image transmission.

본 논문에서는 범용 워크스테이션 환경하에서 수행되는 멀티미디어 응용프로그램(application)을 지원하기 위한 비례지분 방식의 CPU 스케줄러를 제시한다. 이러한 목적을 위하여 일반적 태스크의 지원을 위해 설계된 스트라이드 스케줄러를 확장한다. 멀티미디어 응용프로그램의 시간 요구사항을 명시하기 위하여 새로운 스케줄링 파라미터들을 도입한다. 비율조정기를 도입한 결과 스케줄링의 정확도의 오차는 O(1)로 감소하였다. 별도의 태스크 그룹을 설정하여 상대적 지분과 절대적 지분을 부여했다. 모의실험을 사용하여 스케줄러의 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 제안된 스케줄러는 증가된 정확도와 적응성 및 유연성을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. Abstract This paper presents a proportional-share CPU scheduler which can support multimedia applications in a general-purpose workstation environment. For this purpose, we have extended the stride scheduler which is designed originally for conventional tasks. New scheduling parameters are introduced to specify timing requirements of multimedia applications. Through the use of the rate regulator, the accuracy error of the scheduling is reduced to O(1). Separate task groups are proposed to represent both relative shares and absolute shares. The proposed scheduler is evaluated using a simulation study. The results show that the proposed scheduler achieves improved accuracy and adaptability as well as flexibility.

Power continues to be a driving force in central processing units (CPU) design. Most of the advanced breakthroughs in power have been in a realm that is applicable to workstation CPUs. Advanced power management systems will manage temperature, dynamic voltage scaling and dynamic frequency scaling in a CPU. The use of power management systems for microcontrollers and embedded CPUs has been modest, and mostly focuses on very large scale integration (VLSI) level optimizations compared to system level optimizations. In this paper, a dynamic frequency controlling (DFC) technique is introduced, to lay the foundation of a system level power management system for commercial microcontrollers. The DFC technique allows a commercial microcontroller to have minor modifications on both the hardware and software side, to allow the clock frequency to change to save power; results in this study show a 10% savings. By adding an additional layer of software abstraction at the interrupt level, the microcontroller can operate without having knowledge of the current clock frequency, and this can be accomplished without having to use an embedded operating system.

본 연구에서는 POSIX 쓰레드(Pthreads)를 사용하여 구현한 새로운 SR 실행지원 시스템인 SR/RTS+를 제시한다. SR은 다중의 병행 제어 프리미티브를 이용해서 다양한 병행 프로그래밍 기법을 제공한다. 윈 SR 실행지원시스템이 자신의 고유한 쓰레드 경영 기법을 사용하였기 때문에 다른 컴퓨터 시스템에서 동작하기 위해서는 실행지원 시스템의 수정이 필요하다. 더우기 실행지원시스템의 실행 효율성은 이런 각각의 상이한 시스템에 연관되어 개별적으로 고려되어야 한다. 따라서 이식성을 증가시키고 실행 효 율성을 예측 가능하도록 하기 위해서 SR/RTS+를 하나의 POSIX프로세스내에서 다중의 실행의 쓰레드를 제공하는 Pthreaes(POSIX쓰레드)상에서 설계되었다. 또한 ,SR 컴파일러 Ptherads 인터페이스를 위한 코드를 적절히 생성하도록 수정되었다. SR/RTS+는 Florida Sate Univerisity에서 제공하는 Pthreads 라이브러리를 사용하여 Spare Workstation 상에서 개발되었으며, University of Arizona에서 제공하는 SR 검증 도구로 테스트하였다.
