This study was performed to investigate solubility, dissolution rate and ash content of solid type fuel additive in gasoline and diesel in order to set up manufacturing standards. From the results, the unfiltered impurities were increased when the fuel additive was added on gasoline and diesel. Also, the unfiltered fuel additive was decreased with respect to increasing the pore size of the filter paper. When one gram of the fuel additive was dissolved in one liter of gasoline at room temperature, the best dissolution rate was about 2 hours. But, almost nothing was dissolved in diesel during 72 hours at $20^{\circ}C$ below zero. At the experiment of ash content, the gasoline which the fuel additive was melted in was showing 28 times more ash content than that was not including the fuel additive. Therefore, it seemed that almost all of ash content was caused by the fuel additive.

A process variation compensation method called 'regulated drain detection' is proposed. This paper also shows the how this newly invented method is applied to a typical differential PLL. The proposed RDD(regulated drain detection) and its PLL application has been designed and tested in a $0.18{\mu}m$ 1-poly 3-metal plain digital process so that its stable performance and higher yield can be proven. The implemented PLL aimed to the operation range of 80MHz - 240MHz and the total die size is only $0.18{\mu}m$ including the internal loop filter. The tracking jitter characteristics is measured to less than 150 peak-to-peak under l.8V supply rail.

In this study, a digital particle holographic system and its application to channel-flow measurements were investigated. A double-exposure hologram recording system that is capable of recording digital holograms in a short time interval was developed. A correlation coefficient method was used to determine the focal plane of particles. The Wiener filter was used to remove noises and improve image quality. Two-threshold and image segmentation methods were used for binary image transformation. The cross-correlation method was used for particle pairing. The developed system was employed to study channel flow fields, and the axial velocities of channel flow were measured. The measurement errors are acceptable, and this proves the feasibility of using the digital particle holographic system as a good tool for flow-field measurements.

One of the main factors related to the deterioration of estimation accuracy in inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based orientation determination is the object's acceleration. This is because accelerometer signals under accelerated motion conditions cannot be longer reference vectors along the vertical axis. In order to deal with this issue, some orientation estimation algorithms adopt acceleration-compensating mechanisms. Such mechanisms include the simple switching techniques, mechanisms with adaptive estimation of acceleration, and acceleration model-based mechanisms. This paper compares these three mechanisms in terms of estimation accuracy. From experimental results under accelerated dynamic conditions, the following can be concluded. (1) A compensating mechanism is essential for an estimation algorithm to maintain accuracy under accelerated conditions. (2) Although the simple switching mechanism is effective to some extent, the other two mechanisms showed much higher accuracies, particularly when test conditions were severe.

In H.264, 7 modes {16${\times}$16, 16${\times}$8, 8${\times}$16, 8${\times}$8, 8${\times}$4, 4${\times}$8, 4${\times}$4) are used to enhance the coding efficiency. The motion vector estimation with 7 modes may require huge computing time. In this paper, to speed up the motion vector estimation procedure while the high image quality remains, we propose a motion vector refinement scheme using the temporary motion vector generated with little computation. The proposed estimation process consists of three phases: Mode decision for a 16${\times}$16 macroblock, Composing a temporary motion vector, Refinement of the temporary motion vector. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by computer simulation. In the results, the encoding time consumed by the proposed scheme has been reduced significantly while the encoded video quality remains unchanged.

In this paper, inverter type neon power supply using a piezoelectric transformer is fabricated and its characteristic is investigated. Developed neon power supply is composed of basic circuit and blocks, such as rectifier part, frequency oscillation part and piezoelectric transformer and resonant half bridge inverters. In this paper for complement the low power limitation, piezoelectric transformer at parallel connected driving by inverter is studied for noon tubes system of high power. When piezoelectric transformer is connected with parallel, LC filter connection method with parallel and selection of inductance L and capacitor C of primary side is suggested for reduce unbalanced current at the terminal of each transformer. Piezoelectric transformers use piezoelectric ceramic devices. Thus it is wireless therefore it has high power density, high Isolation level, low loss, more light, and miniaturization. In addition, high voltage transfer ratio is expected because there is no leakage inductance. Also, it has economic merit that the electrical loss Is low because structure is simple, small and tighter weight.

In this study, we developed low cost INS and (D)GPS integration for continuous attitude and position and utilized it for the determination of exterior orientation parameters of image sensors which are equipped in 4S-Van. During initial alignment process, the heading information was extracted from twin GPS and fine alignment with Kalman filter was performed for the determination of roll and pitch. Simulation and van test were performed for the performance analysis. Based on simulation result, roll and pitch error is around 0.01-0.03 degrees and yaw error around 0.1 degrees. Based on van test, position error in linear road is around 10 cm and curve around 1 m. Using direct georeferencing method, the image sensor's orientation and position information can be acquired directly from (D)GPS/INS integration. 4S-Van achieved 3D spatial data using (D)GPS/INS and image data can be applied to the spatial data integration and application such as contemporary digital map update, road facility management and Video GIS DB.

In this paper, we describe research results of developing hardware rasterizer that is applicable to mobile 3D graphics system, designed in SIMD architecture and verified in FPGA. Tile-based scan conversion unit is designed like SIMD architecture running four tiles simultaneously and each tile traverses pixels hierarchical in 3-level so that visiting counts is minimized. As experimental results, $8{\times}8$ is the most efficient size of tile and the last step of tile traversing is performed on $2{\times}2$ sized subtile. The rasterizer supports flat shading and gouraud shading and texture mapper supports affine mapping and perspective corrected mapping. Also, texture mapper supports point sampling mode and bilinear interpolating sampling mode and two types of wrapping modes and various blending modes. The rasterzer operates as 120Mhz on xilinx vertex4 $l{\times}100$ device. To easy verification, texture memory and frame buffer are generated as block rom and block ram.

Apertures and PBG(Photonic Band Gap) has been employed on the ground plane in the coupled line filter simultaneously. In order to observe the maximum bandwidth, we used the line gap 0.2mm which is can be made in our lab. Band-pass filter type is four-stage coupled strip line filter. Teflon has been used for the substrate ($\varepsilon$$\sub$r/=3.2). The center frequency and the bandwidth are 2.18GHz and 230MHz, respectively. The bandwidth is broaden from 230MHz to 310MHz (80Mhz, about 34.7%) by aperture effect and harmonic frequencies are suppressed to 20-30dB by PBG effect. So the harmonic frequencies have been suppressed by the PBG effect and the bandwidth are broaden by aperture effect.

일반적으로 대형 버스 및 트럭 등 같은 경우, 부하가 아주 크다. 또한 내리막길이나 장거리 운행 시에 잦은 제동으로 인하여 마찰을 이용한 기존 방식의 브레이크들은 브레이크 파열 및 페이드 현상 때문에 제동 안전성에 문제가 있다. 이러한 제동 부담을 분담하기 위해 현재 보조브레이크(리타더)가 필수적이며, 엔진 계통의 보조브레이크가 아닌 비접촉식 브레이크 같은 친환경 보조브레이크가 요구되고 있다. 그리고 차량 제동시 발생하는 기계에너지를 전기에너지로 회생하여 에너지효율을 향상시키려는 연구가 현재 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 와전류를 이용한 전자기형 리타더에서 발생되는 전기에너지를 회수하기 위한 전압 제어 방법을 다룰 것이다. 리타더의 제동에너지를 전기에너지로 회생하기 위해 L-C 공진회로로 구성하였다. 리타더를 자여자 유도발전기(Self-Excited Induction Generator)로 모델링 하였고 이를 토대로 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 진행하였다. 자여자 유도발전기의 구동 조건에 대해서 언급하고 이를 파라미터에 따라 3-D map으로 만들었다. 또 회로 중의 FET 게이트에 전압을 인가하는 제어장치의 구동펄스에 따라 바뀌는 공진회로의 전압을 분석하였으며, 이 전압을 제어하기 위하여 PI 제어기를 이용한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 전압을 3상 AC/DC컨버터를 통과한 후 DC/DC컨버터를 통하여 차량 내부의 배터리에 충전되는데 제어를 위해 3상 AC/DC에서의 전압 리플을 MA(Moving Average) 방식의 필터를 사용하여 DC/DC컨버터의 입력에 맞도록 제어하였다. 이와 같이 전자기형 리타더에서 유도되는 전압을 제어기의 제어 펄스에 따라 제어할 수 있으며 Matlab Simulink를 이용하여 리타더의 모델과 그 제어기의 타당성을 보였다. 또 실제 M-G Set 실험을 통하여 그 연관성을 확인하였다.
