A new algorithm for removing salt and pepper impulse noise in image using impulse noise detector and total variation optimization is presented. The proposed two types of noise detectors which are based on the adaptive median filter, can detect impulse noise with high accuracy while reducing the probability of detecting image details as impulses. And the detectors maintain its performance independent of noise density. For removing impulses, total variation optimization is applied only to those detected noise candidate to reduces unnecessary computation. The proposed approach successfully remove impulse noise while preserving image details.

In a capacitor-discharge impulse magnetizer, one of the magnetic application system, a magnet is magnetized by the discharging current of capacitors. The conventional design of the magnetizer has been based on many year's experience. The behaviour of flux in the magnetizer should be calculated in order to produce the desired magnets. The analysis of the flux distribution is quite difficult. This is because both the magnetizing current and the applied voltage to the magnetizer are unknown. This paper describes the development of computer model for a capacitor-discharge impulse magnetizer using SPICE. Also, the detailed distribution of the flux density in a magnet magnetized by the impulse magnetizer be analyed.

For the study of the influence of kilovoltage and exposure time on radiographic density and contrast, we measured radiographic density of aluminum step wedge which composed of contiguous 8 steps wedges of 2-16㎜ thickness with densitometer. Aluminum step wedge was radiographed on Kodak ultraspeed DF-58 and Ektaspeed EP-21 film with range of 60-90 kVp and 5-60 impulse and subject contrast of aluminum step wedge with constant radiographic density and image contrast percentage without radiographic density was evaluated. Then we evaluated the film quality of teeth and their surrounding structure according to the change of kVp and exposure time by score rating method. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Radiographic density was related to the change of kilovoltage, especially in increased exposure time. 2. With constant radiographic density, subject contrast of thin aluminum step wedges was greater in low kilovolt age than high kilovoltage, but kilovolt age had not great influence on subject contrast of thick aluminum step wedge. On the other hand, radiographic density difference between 2mm and 16mm aluminum step wedge was decreased according to in- creasing kilovoltage. 3. Without constant radiographic density, image contrast percentage was decreased with increasing kilovoltage, but was not related with the change of exposure time. 4. Radiographic contrast of teeth and their surrounding structure which was taken with the range of 60-90 kVp and 6-30 impulse had not great influence on film quality.

This paper describes the evaluation of the long duration current impulse withstand characteristics of ZnO blocks for high voltage surge arresters. Four ZnO varistors were manufactured with the general ceramic production method and the long duration current impulse withstand test, electrical uniformity evaluation test and microstructure observation were performed. All varistors exhibited high density, which was in the range of $5.42{\sim}5.46g/cm^3$. In the electrical properties, the reference voltage of samples was in the range of $5.11{\sim}5.25\;kV$ and the residual voltage was in the range of $8.314{\sim}8.523\;kV$. In the long duration current impulse withstand test, sample No.2 and No.3 failed at the 2nd and 4th shot of series impulse currents, respectively, but the rest survived 18 shots during the test. Before and after this test, the variation ratio of the residual voltage of samples survived was below 0.5 %, which was in the acceptance range of 5 %. According to the results of the test, it is thought that if the soldering method is improved, ZnO varistors would be possible to apply to the high voltage arresters like the station class and transmission line arresters in the near future.

Image degradation caused by the impulse noise is generated in the process of image transmission and so on. It has been studied by many researchers in order to remove these noise. The representative impulse noise removal method includes SM filter. Though SM filter will indicate errors by the increasing of impulse noise density. Therefore, in this paper, in order to preserve the edges of the image, and reduce the distortion of the image, an improved adaptive median filter algorithm is proposed. In the simulation results, the algorithm showed excellent results in all several areas, and the PSNR is used as the criterion of evaluation.

In this paper, we propose a novel method to recover images corrupted by impulse noise. The proposed method uses two stages: noise detection and filtering. In the first stage, we use pixel values, rank-ordered logarithmic difference values, and median values to train a neural-network-based impulse noise detector. After training, we apply the network to detect noisy pixels in images. In the next stage, we use group-based weighted couple sparse representation to filter the noisy pixels. During this second stage, conventional methods generally use only clean pixels to recover corrupted pixels, which can yield unsuccessful dictionary learning if the noise density is high and the number of useful clean pixels is inadequate. Therefore, we use reconstructed pixels to balance the deficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed noise detector has better performance than the conventional noise detectors. Also, with the information of noisy pixel location, the proposed impulse-noise removal method performs better than the conventional methods, through the recovered images resulting in better quality.

This paper describes the evaluation of long duration current impulse withstand characteristics of ZnO blocks for high voltage surge arresters. Four ZnO varistors were manufactured with the general ceramic production method and three abroad varistors were also prepared to be compared. All varistors exhibited high density, which was in the range of $5.42{\sim}5.49g/cm^3$. In the electrical properties, the reference voltage of all samples was in the range of 5.11~5.72kV and the residual voltage was in the range of 8.314~9.305kV. In the long duration current impulse withstand test, sample 2 and 3 failed at the 2nd and 4th shot of series impulse currents, respectively, but the rest survived 18 shots during the test. Before and after this test, the variation ratio of the residual voltage of samples survived were below 1.7%, which were in the acceptance range of 5%.

In this paper the process of transmitting images signal restore to image corrupted by impulse noise proposed switching mean filter. these filter is differential size using the two state noise detection distinguishes noise pixel and noise free pixel. Follow the detected impulse noise density in the image remove the impulse noise using switching mean filter these substituted pixel in order to non-recursive and recursive form from control process of the next pixel comes to be used with neighbor pixel process. Through the simulation, we compared with the existing methods and capabilties.

This study presents the estimation of the entrainment velocity of sediment particles from the scour hole. Sediment particles are entrained from the scour hole downstream of hydraulic structures by the turbulent vortices. Mathematical form of the entrainment velocity of sediment particles from the scour hole was obtained using the impulse-momentum equation with given value of the vertical component of turbulent velocity of the line vortex. Also, its probability density distribution was obtained with the results that the probability density distribution of the vertical turbulent velocity followed the normal distribution. Experimental results of the entrainment velocity of sediment particles showed relatively good agreements with theoretical ones.

we have investigated the effect of aromatic compounds and tree inception and growth in low density polyethylene, for AC voltage and Impulse voltage. 2kinds of aromatic compounds are selected. Each additive (m-cresol, aniline) was mixed in low density polyethylene. For AC voltage, 10wt% $\sim$ 15wt% m-cresol can be shown to be the effective inhibitor to tree initiation. But, For Impulse voltage, 10wt% $\sim$ 15wt% aniline is effective inhibitor to tree initiation.
