Unknown inputs observer(UIO) which is achieved by the coordinate transformation method has the differential of system outputs in the observer and the equation for unknown inputs estimation. Generally, the differential of system outputs in the observer can be eliminated by defining a new variable. But it brings about the partition of the observer into two subsystems and need of an additional differential of system outputs still remained to estimate the unknown inputs. Therefore, the block pulse function expansions and its differential operation which is a newly derived in this paper are presented to alleviate such problems from an algebraic form.

Water management objects was developed using the Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concept and Irrigation Block Simulation Model was developed using these objects. This model using OOP can simulate the behavior of the irrigation block composed of several irrigation canals, drainage canals, paddy fields, check gates, and so on. This study showed that using OOP concept, we can develop an water management application or extend the function of existing application more easily.

Ladder Diagram(LD) is the most widely utilized among many sorts of existing programs using for the design of process control system. But it is very difficult to grasp sequential flow of control logic. In this paper, we proposed the method that we can control a lot of blocks. We used PLC in process control system. And, in order to design we used Sequential Function Chart(SFC). In this paper, we proposed the method of block contro. and confirmed feasibility through a simulation.

블록 암호를 설계하는 방식으로 크게 Feistel 구조와 SPN 구조로 나눌 수 있다. Feistel 구조는 암호 및 복호 알고리즘이 같은 구조이고, SPN구조는 암호 및 복호 알고리즘이 다르다. 본 논문에서는 암호와 복호 과정이 동일한 SPN 구조 블록 암호 알고리즘을 제안한다. 즉 SPN 구조 전체를 짝수인 N 라운드로 구성하고 1 라운드부터 N/2라운드까지는 정함수를 사용하고, (N/2)+1 라운드부터 N 라운드까지는 역함수를 사용한다. 또한 정함수 단과 역함수 단 사이에 대칭 블록을 구성하는 대칭 단을 삽입한다. 본 논문에서 정함수로는 안전성이 증명된 AES의 암호 알고리즘을, 역함수로는 AES의 복호 알고리즘을 사용하고, 대칭 단은 32 비트 회전과 간단한 논리연산을 사용하여 비선형성을 증가시켜 바이트 또는 워드 단위의 공격에 강하게 한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 암호와 복호가 동일한 대칭 구조 SPN 알고리즘은 하드웨어 구성이 간단한 장점을 가지므로 제한적 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 환경인 스마트카드와 전자 칩이 내장된 태그와 같은 RFID 환경에서 안전하고 효율적인 암호를 구성할 수 있다.

Effrctive analgesia after elective thoracotomy can be provided by continuous extrapleural intercostal nerve block.This study was designed to prove the effectiveness of continuous extrapleural intercostal nerve block. Twenty patients undergoing elective thoracotomy were randomized into two groups. Group I received lumbar epidural block[N=10] and group II received continuous extrapleural intercostal nerve block[N=10]. Postoperative pain relief was assessed on Numeric Rating Scale[NRS] and recovery of pulmonary function was assessed by coparison of preoperatrive and postoperative FVC[Forced Vital Capacity], FEV1[Forced expiratory Volume in 1 second], VC[Vital Capacity]. Arterial blood gas analysis[ABGA], vital signs and amount of additive analgesics were compared also. No significant difference was observed between the groups concerning these parameters mentioned above. Systemic complications, such as urinary retention[2/10] and weakness of lower extremity[2/10], occurred in group I but no complication occurred in group II. We conclude that continuous extrapleural intercostal nerve block is as effective as epidural block in pain relief and restoration of pulmonary mechanics with fewer comlications. Also because of it`s ease and safetiness, this must be considered as a substitute of epidural block in routine use for thoracotomy pain relief.

정형명세기법은 안전최우선시스템 소프트웨어의 안전성을 일정 수준 이상 보장할 수 있는 기법으로서, 원자력 발전소의 디지털 제어시스템의 개발에 사용되고 있다. 정형명세기법 NUSCR로부터 Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) 시스템을 구현하기 위한 소프트웨어인 Function Block Diagram(FBD) 프로그램을 자동으로 생성하는 기법[1]이 개발되었으나, 이를 지원하는 자동화 도구가 없어 이 기법이 널리 사용되지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 이어 자동생성 기법을 지원하기 위하여 개발된 자동화 도구 NuSCRtoFBD를 소개한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 NuSCRtoFBD 도구를 사용하여 NuSCR로부터 FBD를 자동생성 함으로써, 기존의 수동 프로그래밍 작업에서 발생했던 다수의 오류들을 줄일 수 있다.

An ATM switching system may be designed so that communications between processors of its control part can be performed via its switching network rather than a separate inter-processor communications (IPC) network. In such a system, there should be interfaces to convent IPC traffic from message format to cell format and vice versa, that is, mechanisms to perform the SAR (Segmentation And Reassembly) sublayer functions. In this paper, we concern the cell reassembly mechanism among them, mainly focussed on buffer management schemes. We consider a few alternatives to implement cell reassembly function block, namely, separated buffering, reserved buffering and shared buffering in this paper. In case of separated and reserved buffering, we employ a continuous time Markov chain for the performance evaluation of cell reassembly mechanism, judicially defining the states of the mechanism. Performance measures such as measage loss probability, mean number of message queued in buffer and average reassembly delay are obtianed in closed forms. In case of shared buffering, we compare the alternatives for implementing cell reassembly function block using simulation because it is almost impossible to analyze the mechanism of shared buffering by analytical modeling. Some illustrations are given for the performance analysis of the alternatives to implement cell reassembly function block.

It is well known that many patients with trigeminal neuralgia suffer from electric shock-like stabbing pains. The pain can be triggered by nonnoxious stimuli such as touching of the face, chewing, talking or swallowing. This 62 year old woman was urgently admitted to the internal medicine department due to abdominal distention and severe general weakness. She has suffered characteristic violent pain triggered by chewing and swallowing for little over 4 years. This resulted in poor oral feeding for prolonged period which left her severely debilitated. The large amount of ascites that developed 20 days before admission and extreme emaciation forced her to bed rest. She also suffered from Herpes Zoster. After medical treatment to improve liver function and severe pain was persisted, the patient was referred to our department for control of pain. We performed right mandibular block with 1% dibucaine 0.4 ml and the effect was excellent. After the pain had subsided, patient was able to take meals more comfortably and improved liver function returned.

Image and video dehazing is a popular topic in the field of computer vision and digital image processing. A fast, optimized dehazing algorithm was recently proposed that enhances contrast and reduces flickering artifacts in a dehazed video sequence by minimizing a cost function that makes transmission values spatially and temporally coherent. However, its fixed-size block partitioning leads to block effects. The temporal cost function also suffers from the temporal non-coherence of newly appearing objects in a scene. Further, the weak edges in a hazy image are not addressed. Hence, a video dehazing algorithm based on well designed spectral clustering is proposed. To avoid block artifacts, the spectral clustering is customized to segment static scenes to ensure the same target has the same transmission value. Assuming that edge images dehazed with optimized transmission values have richer detail than before restoration, an edge intensity function is added to the spatial consistency cost model. Atmospheric light is estimated using a modified quadtree search. Different temporal transmission models are established for newly appearing objects, static backgrounds, and moving objects. The experimental results demonstrate that the new method provides higher dehazing quality and lower time complexity than the previous technique.

Background: Anosmia can be frustrating for both the patient and physician, with no clear treatment. We prospectively investigated the effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) in anosmic patients who were unresponsive to conventional steroid therapy. Methods: Thirteen patients with anosmia were treated with SGB. To evaluate the improvement in olfactory function, we evaluated both changes in subjective symptoms and the butanol threshold test. The number of SGB required for improvement in olfactory function was counted. Results: Seven patients (54%) showed improvement of olfactory function with SGB. The average number of SGB for the first response was $7.4{\pm}5.9times$. Conclusions: These results suggest that SGB may be a good treatment modality for patients with anosmia unresponsive to steroid therapy.
