본 논문은 맨체스터 부호를 사용하는 네트워크(network) 시스템 뿐만 아니라 이동체(mobile) 통신과 디지털 통신 시스템에서 맨체스터 신호를 재생하기 위한 새로운 클럭복원(clock recovery) 알고리즘을 제안하고 제안한 알고리즘의 구현에 관한 연구이다. 제안된 클럭 복원 회로는 간단한 하드웨어 구성으로 중앙 천이를 식별하지 않고 중앙 천이와 변화가 없는 인접 비트간의 천이 각각에 대하여 양극에지(positive edge)와 부극에지(negative edge) 신호를 사용하여 분주기를 제어하여 복원하고자 하는 클럭에 2배에 해당하는 클럭을 먼저 복원하고 양극에지와 부극에지 감지기를 프리셋트 시킨후, 이 클럭을 2분주함으로써 원하는 클럭을 정확히 얻을 수 있음을 알았다. 본 논문에서 제시한 알고리즘의 타당성을 입증하기 위하여 현행의 FM 방송에 디지틀 데이터 신호를 다중화하여 전송 하는 방송계 뉴미디어 시스템인 RDS(Radio Data System)시스템에 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하여 제시한 알고리즘의 타당성을 입증하였다.

본 연구에서는 레일레이 페이딩 채널하에서 16-QAM통신 방식의 BER를 개선시키는 방안을 제안한다. 이동 무선 환경에서 페이딩에 의한 BER 열화를 극복하기위하여 밀러코딩 기법을 적용하였으며 이것은 동일한 코딩 이득에 대해 맨체스터 코딩기법에서 필요한 대역폭의 절반으로 가능하므로 효과적일뿐 아니라 $180^{\circ}$ 위상모호성 등에 덜 민감하므로 PSK 계열의 통선방식에 보다 효과적이다. 제안된 시스템을 컴퓨터상에서 시융레이션한 결 과 밴체스터 코딩기법에 비해 $10^{-4}$에서 약 3.8 dB 정도 개선시키는 효과를 보았다.

The impact of gamma radiation on a commercial off the shelf microcontroller board has been investigated. Three different tests have been performed to ascertain the radiation tolerance of the device from a nuclear decommissioning deployment perspective. The first test analyses the effect of radiation on the output voltage of the on-board voltage regulator during irradiation. The second test evaluated the effect of gamma radiation on the voltage characteristics of analogue and digital inputs and outputs. The final test analyses the functionality of the microcontroller when using an external, shielded voltage regulator instead of the on-board voltage regulator. The results suggest that a series of latch-ups occurs in the microcontroller during irradiation, causing increased current drain which can damage the voltage regulator if it does not have short-circuit protection. The analogue to digital conversion functionality appears to be more sensitive to gamma radiation than digital and analogue output functionality. Using an external, shielded voltage regulator can prove beneficial when used for certain applications. The collected data suggests that detaching the voltage regulator can extend the lifespan of the platform up to approximately 350 Gy.

Background Bilateral cleft lip deformity is much more difficult to correct than unilateral cleft lip deformity. The complexity of the deformity and the sensitive relationships between the arrangement of the muscles and the characteristics of the external lip necessitate a comprehensive preoperative plan for management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the repair of bilateral cleft lip using the Byrd modification of the traditional Millard and Manchester methods. A key component of this repair technique is focused on reconstruction of the central tubercle. Methods Fourteen patients with mean age of 5.7 months presented with bilateral cleft lip deformity and were operated on using a modification of the Millard and Manchester techniques. Patients with a very wide cleft lip and protruded or rotated premaxilla were excluded from this study. We analyzed 30 normal children for a comparison with our patients in terms of anthropometric measurements. Results By the end of the follow-up period (between 9 and 19 months), all our patients had obtained a full central segment with adequate white roll in the central segment and a deep gingivolabial sulcus, and we obtained nearly normal anthropometric measurements in comparison with age-matched normal children. Conclusions We recommend this modified technique for the treatment of bilateral cleft lip deformity.

As robotics become more sophisticated, there are a growing number of generic systems being used for routine tasks in nuclear environments to reduce risk to radiation workers. The nuclear sector has called for more commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) devices and components to be used in preference to nuclear specific hardware, enabling robotic operations to become more affordable, reliable, and abundant. To ensure reliable operation in nuclear environments, particularly in high-gamma facilities, it is important to quantify the tolerance of electronic systems to ionizing radiation. To deliver their full potential to end-users, mobile robots require sophisticated autonomous behaviors and sensing, which requires significant computational power. A popular choice of computing system, used in low-cost mobile robots for nuclear environments, is the UP Core single board computer. This work presents estimates of the total ionizing dose that the UP Core running the Robot Operating System (ROS) can withstand, through gamma irradiation testing using a Co-60 source. The units were found to fail on average after 111.1 ± 5.5 Gy, due to faults in the on-board power management circuitry. Its small size and reasonable radiation tolerance make it a suitable candidate for robots in nuclear environments, with scope to use shielding to enhance operational lifetime.

We propose a turbulence-tolerant Manchester on-off keying (M-OOK) transmission for free-space optical (FSO) communication. At the transmitter end, a M-OOK signal featuring a spectrum with low-frequency components absent is modulated and transmitted into a turbulent channel. At the receiver end, a low-pass filter (LPF) -based adaptive-threshold decision (ATD) with LPF-extracted channel-state information (CSI) and a high-pass filter (HPF)-based fixed-threshold decision (FTD) are employed to compensate for the effects of turbulence, owing to the low-frequency spectral characteristics of the turbulent channel. The performance of LPF-based ATD and HPF-based FTD are evaluated for various cutoff frequencies for the LPF and HPF. Besides, the proposed M-OOK transmission is compared to conventional non-return-to-zero OOK (NRZ-OOK) for different data rates. The proposed technique is verified in simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed M-OOK detection with optimized cutoff frequencies of LPF and HPF has better bit-error-rate (BER) performance compared to NRZ-OOK, and it is close to the theoretical ATD with the knowledge of precise CSI under various degrees of turbulence effects.

The indications for total hip replacement are increasing and not limited to osteoarthritis. Total hip replacement may also be done for trauma and pathological fractures in patients otherwise physiologically fit and active. This trend has led to an inevitable rise in complications such as periprosthetic femoral fracture. Periprosthetic femoral fracture can be challenging due to poor bone quality, osteoporosis, and stress fractures. We present a case of periprosthetic femoral fracture in a 71-year-old woman with some components of an atypical femoral fracture. The fracture was internally fixed but was subsequently complicated by infection, implant failure needing revision, and later stress fracture. She was on a bisphosphonate after her index total hip replacement surgery for an impending pathological left proximal femur fracture, and this may have caused the later stress fracture. Unfortunately, she then experienced implant breakage (nonunion), which was treated with a biplanar locking plate and bone grafting. The patient finally regained her premorbid mobility 13 months after the last surgery and progressed satisfactorily towards bony union.

본 연구는 IoT 기술을 이용한 의료기기에서 송수신되는 대량의 이진데이터의 디지털 변조 과정시 독특한 압축 알고리즘을 적용하여 보다 빠른 시간내에 데이터를 송수신하기 위한 연구이다. 이를 위해 이진데이터 스트리밍을 간단한 규칙에 따라 바이너리 클러스터라는 단위로 구분한 뒤, 각 바이너리 클러스터에 대해 1차 압축바이너리 클러스터를 생성하고 유형별로 추가적인 압축 연산을 통해 1 내지 2비트를 압축한 2차 압축 바이너리 클러스터를 생성한 뒤, 각각의 2차 압축 바이너리 클러스터를 맨체스터 라인코딩 방식으로 전송하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 각각의 2차 압축바이너리 클러스터들의 구분을 위한 정보로서 휴지 전위를 2차 압축 바이너리 클러스터를 코딩한 맨체스터 코드 사이에 삽입 전송하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이를 통해, 2비트 압축된 바이너리 클러스터의 경우 휴지 전위를 위한 1 전송 단위 시간의 소요를 고려하더라도 추가적으로 1 전송 단위 시간의 시간적 이득을 얻게 됨으로써 전송 속도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다. 휴지 전위는 1개 전송 단위로서만 독립적으로 각각 분리된 압축바이너리 클러스터들의 연결에 사용하므로, 2개 전송단위 시간 이상의 연속된 휴지 전위는 존재하지 않게 되고, 맨체스터 코딩의 기본 규칙을 준수하므로 직류 성분도 존재하지 않게 된다. 특히 이미 정보이론 알고리즘을 이용한 압축된 이진 데이터에 대해서도 본 연구에서 제안한 압축전송 과정을 이용할 경우 전송 속도를 추가적으로 약 12.6% 향상 시킬 수 있음이 예측되었다.
