In this paper, we propose a new view synthesis technique for coding of multi-view color and depth data in arbitrary camera arrangements. We treat each camera position as a 3-D point in world coordinates and build clusters of those vertices. Color and depth data within a cluster are gathered into one camera position using a hierarchical representation based on the concept of layered depth image (LDI). Since one camera can cover only a limited viewing range, we set multiple reference cameras so that multiple LDIs are generated to cover the whole viewing range. Therefore, we can enhance the visual quality of the reconstructed views from multiple LDIs comparing with that from a single LDI. From experimental results, the proposed scheme shows better coding performance under arbitrary camera configurations in terms of PSNR and subjective visual quality.

3차원 공간정보는 2차원에 비해 공간적 현실감이 뛰어나기 때문에 최근 경관분석，도시 계획 및 웹(Web) 을 통한 지도 서비스 분야 등에서 이에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으나，3차원 공간 정보의 기하학적 특성상 기존의 2차원 공간정보에 비해 데이터 량이 방대해 지고 있으며 이를 활용한 또 다른 콘텐츠 제작과 빠르고 효율적인 처리에 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법으로 위성 및 항공으로부터 획득한 DEM(Digital Elevation Model)을 이용하여 생성된 3차 원의 지형정보와 도시 모델링 및 텍스처 맵핑 과정을 통해 획득한 정보를 기반으로 하여 각각의 위치에 카메라를 설정하고， 설정된 카메라 위치를 기반으로 Camera Matrix를 구한다. 이렇게 획득한 카메라의 정보엔 깊이 정보를 포함하고 있는데，깊이 정보를 기반으로 하여 3차원의 워핑(Warping)작업을 통해 계층적 핍이 영상(LDI)를 생성하고，생성된 계층적 깊이 영상을 이용하여 3차원의 공간정보를 구현한다.

In this paper, we propose a mixed driving circuit for the source driver of QVGA-scale TFT-LCD driver IC to reduce the area of the source driver. In the mixed driving circuit, graphic data pass or go through the mixed channel driver whether RGB data are the same or not. The mixed driving circuit has been designed in transistor level using the 0.35um CMOS technology and has been verified using Hspice.

Mobile phones use the embedded memory in LDI (LCD Driver IC). In memory accessing mode, data overlapping phenomenon can occur. These days, various contents such as DMB, Camera, Game are merged to phone. Accordingly, with more data transmission, there would be more data overlapping phenomenon in memory accessing mode. Human eyes perceive this data overlapping phenomenon as simply horizontal line noise. The cause of the data overlapping phenomenon was analysed in this paper. The data overlapping phenomenon can be changed by the speed of data transmission between the host and LDI. The optimum memory accessing position can be defined. This paper proposes a new algorithm for avoiding data overlapping.

Background doping concentration (BDC) is proven to be a critical factor to affect the high current behavior of the extended drain NMOSFET (EDNMOS) devices. The EDNMOS device with low BDC suffers from strong snapback in the high current region, which results in poor electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection performance and high latchup risk. However, the strong snapback can be avoided in the EDNMOS device with high BDC. This implies that both the good ESD protection performance and the latchup immunity can be realized in terms of the EDNMOS by properly controlling its BDC.

This paper presents the design of a graphic memory for QVGA-scale LCD Driver IC (LDI). The graphic memory is designed based on the pseudo-SHAM for the purpose of small area, and the memory cell structure is designed using a bit line partitioning method to improve sensing characteristics and drivabilties in the line-read operation. Also, a collision protection circuit using C-gate is designed to control collisions between read/write operations and self-refresh/line-read operations effectively. The graphic memory circuit has been designed in transistor level using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology library and the operations of the graphic memory have been verified using Hspice. The results show that the bit-bitb line voltage difference, ${\Delta}V$ increases by 40%, the charge sharing time between bit and bitb voltages $T_{CHGSH}$ decreases by 30%, and the current during line-read decreases by 40%.

In this paper, we present the design of a source driver of QVGA scale TFT-LCD driver IC which uses a mixed driving method and performs $\gamma$-correction to improve image. The source driver with 240 RGB ${\times}$ 320 dots resolution drives a TFT-LCD panel through 720 channels and implements 262k colors using 18-bit RGB data format. The mixed driving method is a mixture the channel amp. driving method with high drivability and the gray amp. driving method with small area, which remarkably reduces channel driver areas. The driver has been designed using the $0.35{\mu}m$ Magnachip embedded DRAM technology and simulated using the HSPICE simulator. The results show that our source driver operates well with y-correction and the channel driver has $17{\mu}s$ channel driving time with only 78 driving amplifiers and control logic.

The present study was conducted to assess the status of vitamin C among healthy young adults in relation to serum antioxidant parameters [glutathione (GSH), thiols, and total antioxidant capacity, (TAC)], and oxidative stress markers [malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitrites plus nitrates (NN)]. A prospective study included 200 young adults, and their dietary intake was assessed by using food diaries. Fasting plasma vitamin C, serum levels of GSH, thiols, TAC, MDA, and NN were measured using biochemical assays. It was observed that 38% of the enrolled subjects, n=76, had an adequate dietary intake of vitamin C (ADI group). Meanwhile, 62%, n=124, had a low dietary intake of vitamin C (LDI group) as compared to the recommended dietary allowances. The fasting plasma level of vitamin C was significantly higher in the ADI group as compared to the LDI group. Oxidative stress in the sera of the LDI group was evidenced by depletion of GSH, low thiols levels, impairment of TAC, an elevation of MDA, and increased NN. In the ADI group, positive correlations were found between plasma vitamin C and serum antioxidant parameters (GSH, thiols, and TAC). Meanwhile, the plasma vitamin C was negatively correlated with serum MDA and NN levels. This study reveals a significant increase of oxidative stress status and reduced antioxidant capacity in sera from healthy young adults with low intake of the dietary antioxidant, vitamin C.
