분산 비디오 부호화(Distributed Video Coding: DVC)는 계산 성능 및 전력이 제한된 환경에 적합한 초경량 비디오 부호화 기법으로 주목 받고 있으며, 부호화 성능을 개선하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 DVC의 부호화 성능 개선을 위한 율-왜곡(Rate-Distortion) 기반의 영역별 선택적 블록 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 복호기에서 보조정보를 얻는 과정에서 얻어지는 움직임 벡터가 부호기로 피드백 되는 경우, 이를 이용하여 움직임 보상 예측 신호를 구하고 율-왜곡 기반으로 블록 단위로 선택적 블록 부호화를 수행한다. 모의실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 움직임 정보 피드백을 이용한 율-왜곡 기반의 선택적 블록 부호화 기법이 기존의 DVC 부호화 기법에 비해 시퀀스에 따라 최대 약 2.2 dB의 PSNR 성능 향상을 확인하였다. 또한 율-왜곡을 고려하여 일부 영역만 부호화함으로써 기존 방식에 비해 부호화 복잡도를 줄일 수 있음을 보인다.

Recently, as the demand for limited resources continues to rise and problems of resource depletion rise worldwide, the importance of renewable energy is gradually increasing. In order to solve these problems, various methods such as energy conservation and alternative energy development have been suggested, and biogas, which can utilize the gas produced from biomass as fuel, is also receiving attention as the next generation of innovative renewable energy. New and renewable energy using biogas is an energy production method that is expected to be possible in large scale because it can supply energy with high efficiency in compliance with energy supply method of recycling conventional resources. In order to more efficiently produce and manage these biogas, a biogas plant has emerged. In recent years, a large number of biogas plants have been installed and operated in various locations. Organic wastes corresponding to biogas production resources in a biogas plant exist in a wide variety of types, and each of the incoming raw materials is processed in different processes. Because such a process is required, the case where the biogas plant process is inefficiently operated is continuously occurring, and the economic cost consumed for the operation of the biogas production relative to the generated biogas production is further increased. In order to solve such problems, various attempts such as process analysis and feedback based on the feedstock have been continued but it is a passive method and very limited to operate a medium/large scale biogas plant. In this paper, we propose "CNN-based production yield prediction algorithm for increasing process efficiency of biogas plant" for efficient operation of biogas plant process. Based on CNN-based production yield forecasting, which is one of the deep-leaning technologies, it enables mechanical analysis of the process operation process and provides a solution for optimal process operation due to process-related accumulated data analyzed by the automated process.

Miller feedback compensation is introduced in a low dropout regulator (LDO) in order to obtain a capacitor-free regulator and improve the fast transient response. The conventional LDO has a limited bandwidth because of the large-size output capacitor and parasitic gate capacitance in the power MOSFET. In order to obtain a stable frequency response without the output capacitor, LDO is designed with resistor-capacitor (R-C) compensation and this is achieved with a connection between the gain-stage and the power MOS. An R-C compensator is suggested to provide a pole and zero to improve the stability. The proposed LDO is designed with the 0.35 μm CMOS process. Simulation testing shows that the phase margin in the Bode plot indicates a stable response, which is over 100^o. In the load regulation, the transient time is within 55 μs when the load current changes from 0.1 to 1 mA.

통신 시스템에서 수신 성능을 향상시키는 방법으로 MIMO 기술이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 하지만 최근 소형화되어 가는 대부분의 무선 단말기는 사이즈, 비용, 하드웨어의 복잡성 등의 이유로 적용할 수 있는 안테나의 개수에 한계를 가진다. 이에 따라 개발된 협력통신은 단일 안테나를 가지는 다수의 단말기들이 가상의 MIMO 환경을 구현함으로써 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 하지만 협력통신은 다이버시티를 얻기 위해 스펙트럼 효율성을 저하시키며, 이를 극복할 수 있는 방법으로 증분 중계기법을 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 증분 중계기법을 이용하는 다양한 시스템 모델을 고려하며, 고려된 시스템 모델이 최적의 성능을 얻을 수 있는 중계기 위치를 연구한다.

기존의 자료구조 웹 코스웨어들은 텍스트와 그림 형태의 자료이거나 단순한 애니메이션 형태로 실습에 있어 학습자와의 상호작용이 미약하고 화면이동이 자주 일어나는 등 학습에 효과적이지 못한 구조이다. 본 논문에서는 학습자 스스로 학습 내용을 충분히 숙지하고 자료의 형태를 주도적으로 조작해가며 실습할 수 있는 애플릿 형태의 웹-기반 시뮬레이션 환경을 제공하였다. 이를 통하여 학습자가 자료구조 동작을 원하는 데이터로 실습하고 동작을 제어하도록 하여 코스웨어와 학습자 간의 적극적인 상호작용을 높일 수 있다. 교수자는 컴퓨터교육 매개체로 적합한 웹 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 학습내용을 쉽게 전달할 수 있다. 또한, 코스웨어는 데이터베이스 로그를 기록하여 수업에 관한 피드백 및 학생 평가에 필요한 자료를 제공할 수 있도록 하였다.

In this paper, a modified microstep drive of PM step motor is presented. The open-loop drive of a step motor is attractive and widely accepted in applications of speed and position controls. However, the performance of the step motor is limited under the open-loop drive. The closed-loop control is advantages over the open-loop control not only in that step failure never occurs but that the motion is much quicker and smoother. However, a high resolution sensor is needed for detecting position and speed. The modified microstep drive is constructed as a microstep drive with speed feedback. The advantages of the proposed method is that the controller can be designed by a low resolution sensor and is simpler than other closed-loop controller. A concept of vector control is used for verifying the proposed scheme. Simulations show the performance of the proposed method and a comparison with a classic drive method.

This paper proposes a new approach of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) controlled digital implementation of shunt active power filter (SAPF) under steady state and dynamic operations. Typical implementations of SAPF uses microprocessor and digital signal processor (DSP) but it limited for complex algorithm structure, absence of feedback loop delays and their cost can be exceed the benefit they bring. In this paper, the hardware resources of an FPGA are configured and implemented in order to overcome conventional microcontroller or digital signal processor implementations. This proposed FPGA digital implementation scheme has very less execution time and boosts the overall performance of the system. The FPGA controller integrates the entire control algorithm of an SAPF, including synchronous reference frame transformation, phase locked loop, low pass filter and inverter current controller etc. All these required algorithms are implemented with a single all-on chip FPGA module which provides freedom to reconfigure for any other applications. The entire algorithm is coded, processed and simulated using Xilinx 12.1 ISE suite to estimate the advantages of the proposed system. The coded algorithm is also defused on a single all-on-chip Xilinx Spartan 3A DSP-XC3SD1800 laboratory prototype and experimental results thus obtained match with simulated counterparts under the dynamic state and steady state operating conditions.

This study was designed to investigate the feasibility to utilize the electromyogram (EMG) for estimating the muscle torque. The muscle torque estimation plays an important role in functional electrical stimulation because electrical stimulation causes muscles to fatigue much faster than voluntary contraction, and the stimulation intensity should then be modified to keep the muscle torque within the desired range. We employed the neural network method which was trained using the major EMG parameters and the corresponding knee extensor torque measured and extracted during isometric contractions. The experimental results suggested that (1) our neural network algorithm and protocol was feasible to be adopted in a real-time feedback control of the stimulation intensity, (2) the training data needed to cover the entire range of the measured value, (3) different amplitudes and frequencies made little difference to the estimation quality, and (4) a single input to the neural network led to a better estimation rather than a combination of two or three. Since this study was done under a limited contraction condition, the results need more experiments under many different contraction conditions, such as during walking, for justification.

Current OSH system was analyzed in this paper to explain why high fatal incidents and disasters are continuously repeated for recent years in Korea. It was found that we have Dichotomous Perceptional Misconception of prevention before accident and compensation after accident and there is a significant lack of proper feed­back reward system for OSH performance. It was assumed that no reduction of accident rate and fatality rate have not been achieved recently despite of a great effort and increased resource allocations. Some statistics for proving weak punishment were analyzed. In the current system, the will of administrative agency would have been very limited particularly in the legal aspects. The Industrial Safety and Health Act is not suitable to after-injury punishment for employer and/or corporate since it is based on a framework for enforcement of prevention. Based on these analyses, it was concluded that there was a need to consider a special law for Corporate Accountability for Fatal Accidents. Because it is necessary to consider seriously for introduction of a new legal system for after injury punishment to repair the current system where it was found lack of proper feedback system. Also, there was no proper sanction measures for corporate with the current OSH legal system, and the most urgent problem in OSH area is the high fatality rate. it is necessary to consider seriously for introduction of a new legal system for after injury punishment. Also, there is no proper sanction measures for corporate with the current OSH legal system, and the most urgent problem in OSH area is the high fatality rate.

Synchronous computing models provided by real-time synchrony protocols, such as TTA [1] and PALS [2], greatly simplify the design, implementation, and verification of real-time distributed systems. However, their application to real systems has been limited since their assumptions on underlying systems are hard to satisfy. In particular, most previous real-time synchrony protocols hypothesize the existence of underlying fault tolerant real-time networks. This, however, might not be true in most soft real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a practical approach to a synchrony protocol, called Quality-Aware PALS (qPALS), which provides the benefits of a synchronous computing model in environments where no fault-tolerant real-time network is available. qPALS supports two flexible global synchronization protocols: one tailored for the performance and the other for the correctness of synchronization. Hence, applications can make a negotiation flexibly between performance and correctness. In qPALS, the Quality-of-Service (QoS) on synchronization and consistency is specified in a probabilistic manner, and the specified QoS is supported under dynamic and unpredictable network environments via a control-theoretic approach. Our simulation results show that qPALS supports highly reliable synchronization for critical events while still supporting the efficiency and performance even when the underlying network is not stable.
