In the DFE(Decision Feedback Equalizer) for ATSC DTV receivers, there are decision errors in the slicer or. the simplified trellis decoder, and these decided false data comes to the feedback filter to make the error propagation phenomenon. The error propagation degrades the equalizer performance by increasing residual errors as well as slowing down the convergence rate. In this paper we propose a dual-feedback equalization structure. There are two feedback filters. One is the decision feedback filter which uses the simplified trellis decoder output data, the other is non-decision feedback filter which uses the equalizer output data. The additional non-decision feedback filter doesn't introduce the error propagation, so it can compensate the error propagation. The proposed structure accelerates the convergence rate as well as reduces output men-square error(MSE). We analyzed the performance enhancement of DTV receiver using dual-feedback equalization structure.

In this paper, a phase locked loop structure with parallel dual loop which have a different bandwidth has been proposed. The bandwidths depending on transfer functions are obtained through dual loops. Two different bandwidths of each loop are used to suppress noise on the operating frequency range. The proposed phase locked loop has two different voltage controlled oscillator gains to control two different wide and narrow loop filters. Furthermore, it has the locking status indicator to achieve an accurate locking condition. The phase margin of $58.2^{\circ}$ for wide loop and $49.4^{\circ}$ for narrow loop is designed for stable operation and the phase margin of $45^{\circ}$ is maintained during both loops work together. It has been designed with a 1.8V 0.18um complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. The simulation results show that the proposed phase locked loop works stably and generates a target frequency.

In this study, the synchronous control system is designed to restrain the speed difference generated between two propellers, namely, synchronous error in a dual electric propulsion system of unmanned surface vehicle, fish finder boat, etc. The control system based on coupling structure is composed of pre-filters and speed controllers for each propulsion system and a synchronous controller cross-coupled between two propulsion systems. The pre-filter and speed controller are designed in order that the propulsion system may follow the speed reference without overshoot and input saturation. And the synchronous controller is designed in consideration of damping and quickness of the synchronous controller system after analyzing effect of the skew disturbance and mismatched dynamic characteristics on synchronous error. Finally, the simulation results show that the designed control system is effective for elimination of synchronous error.

In this paper, we explore the application of 2-D dual-tree discrete wavelet transform (DDWT), which is a directional and redundant transform, for image coding. DDWT introduces limited redundancy and allows the transform to provide approximate shift invariance and directionally selective filters while preserving the usual properties of perfect reconstruction and computational efficiency with good well-balanced frequency responses. Also, quincunx lattice yields a non separable 2D-wavelet transform, which is also symmetric in both horizontal and vertical direction. And non-separable wavelet transformation can generate sub-images of multiple degrees rotated versions. The proposed 2-D non-separable DDWT can provide efficient approximation for directional features of images schemes, such as edges and contours in images that are not aligned with the horizontal or vertical direction. Finally, non-separable image processing using DDWT services good performance.

Accurate liver segment segmentation based on radiological images is indispensable for the preoperative analysis of liver tumor resection surgery. However, most of the existing segmentation methods are not feasible to be used directly for this task due to the challenge of exact edge prediction with some tiny and slender vessels as its clinical segmentation criterion. To address this problem, we propose a novel deep learning based segmentation model, called Boundary-Aware Dual Attention Liver Segment Segmentation Model (BADA). This model can improve the segmentation accuracy of liver segments with enhancing the edges including the vessels serving as segment boundaries. In our model, the dual gated attention is proposed, which composes of a spatial attention module and a semantic attention module. The spatial attention module enhances the weights of key edge regions by concerning about the salient intensity changes, while the semantic attention amplifies the contribution of filters that can extract more discriminative feature information by weighting the significant convolution channels. Simultaneously, we build a dataset of liver segments including 59 clinic cases with dynamically contrast enhanced MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of portal vein stage, which annotated by several professional radiologists. Comparing with several state-of-the-art methods and baseline segmentation methods, we achieve the best results on this clinic liver segment segmentation dataset, where Mean Dice, Mean Sensitivity and Mean Positive Predicted Value reach 89.01%, 87.71% and 90.67%, respectively.

경계선 검출은 컴퓨터를 이용한 영상인식의 첫 단계로서, 인식의 성능에 큰 영향을 미치는 중요한 기술이다. 여러 가지 경계선 검출 기술들이 존재하지만, 이들은 모두 주어진 영사에 잡음이 존재하지 않거나 존재의 정도가 미약한 경우를 가정하여 개발되었다. 한편, 잡음이 심하게 삽입된 경우에는 경계선 검출기 적용 이전에 잡음제거 필터를 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 주어진 영상에 잡음이 존재하는지를 어떻게 컴퓨터 스스로 판단할 것인가\ulcorner 본 연구에서는 주어진 영상에 대하여 잡음의 존재 여부와 잡음의 정도 여부에 상관없이, 굳건한 경계선 검출 능력을 보이는 경계선 검출기를 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 이중 필터를 사용하였는데, 그 중 하나는 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 가우시안 필터이고, 다른 하나는 본 연구진에 의하여 개발된 웨이블릿 기반 필터이다. 실험결과, 본 논문의 경계선 검출기는 잡음의 정도에 크게 구애받지 않는 일정한 성능을 보여주었다.

The filtration of the magnetic fibrous polymeric filter with packing density profile made of a self-bonded, nonwoven structure comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a magnetic substance was investigated using an oil filter tester, a particle quantifier and an image analyzer system. The magnetic fibrous polymeric filter showed excellent filtration efficiency compared with conventional paper filter. From the experimental results, It is deduced that the filtration mechanism of conventional paper filter is only the function of physical porosity by surface filteration. On the other hand, the newly magnetic fibrous polymeric filter is designed with a new concept in filtration mechanism. That is, it has a dual function of depth and magnetic filters by physical porosity and magnetic attraction. The newly magnetic fibrous polymeric filter has been shown to be a highly effective oil filter for lubrication systems.

In this paper, an efficient multipaction analysis method of a manifold multiplexer for satellite applications is presented. While FEM(Finite Element Method) is used for the multipaction analysis of the lowpass filter, the equivalent circuit model is used for the analysis of the channel filters and the manifold. Employing equivalent circuit model for multipaction analysis takes less time than using EM(Electromagnetic) field analysis method while keeping the accuracy of the multipaction analysis. This present analysis method is applied to the manifold multiplexer for Ka-band satellite transponders and the results show that the present method is as accurate as the conventional EM field analysis method.

A method to determine the equivalent circuits of broadband ultrasound transducers is necessary for designing filters that match the impedances of the transducer and the analysis of the transducer. A method is proposed to determine the equivalent circuits of broadband transducers with 2 resonances in the frequency band of interest.

A method for the ratiometric pH sensing using LysoSensor DND-192 is presented in this paper. It works in the physiological pH range. It is based on the use of two fluorophores which differ significantly in their lifetimes. As the discrimination of their emissions is performed through two different frequencies, this method can allow significant overlap of the emission spectra. A simple long-pass filter, or a combination of long-and short-pass filters, was used instead of narrow-bandpass devices. Importantly, the measurements were carried out under strong ambient light. The method could be used in a wide variety of applications, such as intracellular measurements, microscopy, bioprocess monitoring, etc.
