Here we present a simple flame detection method for an infrared (IR) thermal camera based real-time fire surveillance digital signal processor (DSP) system. Infrared thermal cameras are especially advantageous for unattended fire surveillance. All-weather monitoring is possible, regardless of illumination and climate conditions, and the data quantity to be processed is one-third that of color videos. Conventional IR camera-based fire detection methods used mainly pixel-based temporal correlation functions. In the temporal correlation function-based methods, temporal changes in pixel intensity generated by the irregular motion and spreading of the flame pixels are measured using correlation functions. The correlation values of non-flame regions are uniform, but the flame regions have irregular temporal correlation values. To satisfy the requirement of early detection, all fire detection techniques should be practically applied within a very short period of time. The conventional pixel-based correlation function is computationally intensive. In this paper, we propose an IR camera-based simple flame detection algorithm optimized with a compact embedded DSP system to achieve early detection. To reduce the computational load, block-based calculations are used to select the candidate flame region and measure the temporal motion of flames. These functions are used together to obtain the early flame detection algorithm. The proposed simple algorithm was tested to verify the required function and performance in real-time using IR test videos and a real-time DSP system. The findings indicated that the system detected the flames within 5 to 20 seconds, and had a correct flame detection ratio of 100% with an acceptable false detection ratio in video sequence level.

In this paper we proposed system parameter values of ultra-wideband Impulse Radio systems for the frequency band(3.1~10.6GHz), which is allocated by Federal Communications Commission(FCC). We also analyzed performance of the proposed system in the multiple access interference environment. According to result, application of possible pulse duration($t_{n}$) is very limited by 0.04~0.0326 ns in permission frequency range that establish in FCC. In the case of the same pulse signal power, we could know that system performance was changed by pulse repetition number($N_{s}$ ) regardless of pulse duration. Thus, We could know that we have to need duration of monocycle pulse and setting of frame un it time(Τ$_{f}$ ) according to multi user numbers and design proper pulse repetition number by transfer rate in multiple access systems design. In the IR system that needs high speed transmission more than 50 Mbps in multiple access interference environment, we could know that very serious performance decrease by multiple access interference happens. Therefore, as the design of high speed multiple access IR system, it should be designed to additional improvement techniques that can remove multiple access interference at the same time.

Cure kinetics of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/4,4'-methylene dianiline(MDA) with hydroquinone-phenyl glycidyl ether(HQ-PGE) as a reactive additive, which was preliminarily synthesized, was investigated by DSC and FT-IR analyses. Kissinger equation and Arrhenius' equation were used to calculate activation energy and pre-exponential factor. When HQ-PGE was added to DGEBA/MDA system, it reduced activation energy of system. When the 5 phr of HQ-PGE was added to DGEBA/MDA system, activation energy was 7.8 kcal/mol by FT-IR analysis and 11.3 kcal/mol by DSC, in comparison with the system without HQ-PGE, activation energy decreased about 30% and 9%, respectively. According to these results, HQ-PGE, introducing agent of this system, acted as a catalyst.

Rhenium-Iridium(Re-Ir) thin films were deposited onto the tungsten carbide(WC) molding core by sputtering system. The Re-Ir films were prepared by multi-target sputtering with iridium, rhenium and chromium as the sources. Argon and nitrogen were inlet into the chamber to be the plasma and reactive gases. The Re-Ir thin films were prepared with targets having atomic percent of 3:7 and the Re-Ir thin films were formed with 240 nm thickness. The Re-Ir thin films on tungsten carbide molding core were analyzed by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and surface roughness. Also, adhesion strength and coefficient friction of Re-Ir thin film were examined.

An infrared image synthetic method is proposed for infrared system simulation. The synthesis image uses a background IR image captured from real scene and a target IR modeling image. The radiances related with maximum and minimum temperatures of the background and target images are calculated from the Planck's blackbody equation. Based on them, the background and target images are compensated and synthesized. The proposed method is simulated and the IR target images are generated by RadThermIR software.

For a stimulating neural electrode, the charge density should be as large as possible to provide adequate stimulation of the nervous system while allowing for miniaturization of the electrode. Since iridium oxide is able to produce high charge densities while preventing undesirable reactions due to charge storage, it has become a promising material for neural prostheses. Successful production of stable Ir and Ir oxide films on various substrates now limits the use of this material. Ir was deposited on two differently prepared surface of (mirror finish, passivation) surgical Ti-6AI-4V with several methods. Ion beam mixing of sputter deposited Ir films on passivated Ti-6AI-4V produced stable and good adherent Ir films. It was found that the increase in charge density of pure Ir on continuous cyclingis due to the accumulation of the oxide phase ( associated with a large surface area) in which the valence state of iridium changes and the double-layer capacitance increases. This study also showed that the double layer capacitance is equally or even more responsible for the high charge density of anodically formed Ir oxide.

In this paper, we propose an asynchronous IR-UWB ranging system based on the two-way ranging protocol. The periodic pulse sequence is used to measure a distance between two devices. At the receiver, a received signal is first transformed into a frequency-domain signal using an analog correlator bank and digital signal processing is followed in the frequency-domain. This make it possible for the system to use an ADC with a conversion speed of pulse rate. The proposed algorithm at the receiver side includes a peak detection procedure using mutipath channel compensation and matched filtering, and retransmits a pulse sequence synchronized with the detected peak. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified from simulation results where the CM1 channel is assumed.
