In this study, the investigations on the dimpled type Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler have been focused on the high heat exchanger efficiency. To overcome low heat exchanger efficiency of general EGR cooler, the dimpled type EGR cooler was developed. It was ensured the improvement of the performance of the dimpled type EGR cooler related to the heat exchange based on a series of the experiment. These results were caused by the increase of thermal surface area in accordance with the dimple's one. The estimation model of the heat exchanger efficiency using the Effectiveness-NTU method was also developed in order to verify the validity of experimental result. Also, the program for the estimation of the heat exchanger efficiency on the EGR cooler with regard to the dimpled tube shape was developed. Resultantly, it was confirmed that the dimpled type EGR cooler could be served better performance than the conventional one in view of the heat exchanger efficiency.

Thispapr proposes hybrid navigation parameter estimation using sequential aerial images. The proposed navigation parameter estimation system is composed of two parts: relative position estimation and absolute position estimation. the relative position estimation recursively computes the current velocity and absolute position estimation. The relative position estimation recursively computes the current velocity and position of an aircraft by accumulating navigation parameters extracted from two succesive aerial images. Simple accumulation of parameter values decreases reliability of the extracted parameters as an aircraft goes on navigating. therefore absolute position estimation is required to compensate for position error generated in the relative position step. The absolute position estimation algorithm combining image matching and digital elevation model(DEM) matching is presented. Computer simulation with real aerial image sequences shows the efficiency of the proposed hybrial algorithm.

Distribution-free estimation methods are proposed for slope, $\beta$ in the simple linear regression model. In this paper, we suggest the point estimators using the sequential slope based on sign test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Also confidence intervals are presented for each estimation methods. Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to compare the efficiency of these methods with least square method and Theil´s method. Some properties for the proposed methods are discussed.

The shape of an M-estimation function is generally determined in the sense of either/both maximizing efficiency of an M-estimator at the model or/and bounding the influence function of an M-estimator. We propose an empirical method of choosing a value of the bending constant in Huber's ${\psi}-function$, which is the most widely used M-estimation function when estimating the location parameter.

In this letter, we propose a channel estimation algorithm based on incremental pilots. These are pilots additionally inserted after puncturing the modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols to enhance channel estimation performance without lowering bandwidth efficiency. A low-density parity-check code puncturing scheme is also proposed to prevent the performance degradation due to the codeword bit loss caused by punctured OFDM symbols.

Single carrier-frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) has been adopted as the uplink transmission standard in fourth-generation cellular networks to facilitate power efficiency transmission in mobile stations. Because multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) is a promising technology employed to fully exploit the channel capacity in mobile radio networks, this study investigates the uplink transmission of MU-MIMO SC-FDMA systems with orthogonal space-frequency block codes (SFBCs). It is preferable to minimize the length of the cyclic prefix (CP). In this study, the chained turbo equalization technique with chained turbo estimation is employed in the designed receiver. Chained turbo estimation employs a short training sequence to improve the spectrum efficiency without compromising the estimation accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel and spectrally efficient iterative joint-channel estimation, multiuser detection, and turbo equalization for an MU-MIMO SC-FDMA system without CP-insertion and with short TR. Some simulation examples are presented for the uplink scenario to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

In the variable-speed wind energy system, to achieve maximum power point tracking (MPPT), the wind turbine should run close to its optimal angular speed according to the wind speed. Non-linear control methods that consider the dynamic behavior of wind speed are generally used to provide maximum power and improved efficiency. In this perspective, the mechanical power is estimated using Kalman filter. And then, from the estimated mechanical power, the wind speed is estimated with Newton-Raphson method to achieve maximum power without anemometer. However, the blade shape and air density get changed with time and the generator efficiency is also degraded. This results in incorrect estimation of wind speed and MPPT. It causes not only the power loss but also incorrect wind resource assessment of site. In this paper, the adaptive maximum power point tracking control algorithm for wind turbine system based on the estimation of wind speed is proposed. The proposed method applies correction factor to wind turbine system to have accurate wind speed estimation for exact MPPT. The proposed method is validated with numerical simulations and the results show an improved performance.

In the estimation of the aerosol single fiber efficiency using fibrous filters, there is a size range, where the particles penetrate most effectively through the fibrous collectors, and corresponding minimum single fiber efficiency. For small particles in which the diffusion mechanism is dominant, the Cunningham slip correction factor (C_c) affects the single fiber efficiency and the most penetrating particle size (MPPS). Therefore, for accurate estimation, C_c is essential to be considered. However, many previous studies have neglected this factor because of its complexity and the associated difficulty in deriving the appropriate parameterization particularly for the MPPS. In this study, the expression for the MPPS, and the corresponding expression for the minimum single fiber efficiency are analytically derived, and the effects of C_c are determined. In order to accommodate the slip factor for all particle-size ranges, C_c is simplified and modified. Overall, the obtained analytical expression for the MPPS is in a good agreement with the exact solution.

움직임 추정기는 동영상 압축에서 가장 많은 연산량을 차지하는 연산으로, 처리 속도를 맞추기 위해 다수의 단위 연산기를 병렬로 사용하는 경우가 많다. 단위 연산기를 많이 사용할수록 처리 속도가 빨라지지만 하드웨어 면적도 커지기 때문에 단위 연산기의 개수를 최적화하는 것이 중요하다. HEVC(high efficiency video coding)의 경우 연산량을 줄이고 성능을 높이기 위해서 다단계 움직임 추정 기법을 주로 사용하는데, 각 단계마다 탐색점의 개수 및 위치가 다르기 때문에 단위 연산기의 사용률이 항상 100%가 되지 않으며 단위 연산기의 개수에 따라 사용률이 크게 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 단위 연산기의 사용률과 연산 사이클을 계산하여 주어진 움직임 추정 기법에 최적화된 단위 연산기 개수를 찾아 내는 방법을 제안한다.

동영상 압축 표준안 H.264/AVC에서 다중 참조 픽처를 이용한 움직임 추정은 압축 효율을 향상 시켰으나 그 효율은 참조 픽처의 수가 아닌 영상 내용에 의존적이다. 그래서 이 움직임 추정은 영상에 따라 많은 무의미한 계산을 포함하고 있다. 본 논문은 다중 참조 픽처를 이용한 움직임 추정의 무의미한 계산을 제거하는 고속 움직임 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 영상 복잡도와 예측 움직임 벡터를 이용하여 다중 참조 픽처가 유효한 블록과 무효한 블록을 구분하고 무효한 블록에 단일 참조 픽처를 적용하여 무의미한 계산을 제거한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능 평가를 위해 참조 소프트웨어 JM 9.5에서 화질, 비트율, 움직임 추정 시간이 기존 알고리즘과 비교되었다. 실험 결과는 제안된 알고리즘이 평균 움직임 추정 시간을 약 38.67%로 크게 감소시키며 화질과 비트량을 각각 기존 알고리즘 정도인 -0.02dB와 -0.77% 정도로 유지시킬 수 있는 것을 보여주고 있다.
