After initial recovery from acute carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication, some patients occasionally undergo severe neuropsychiatric deterioration, which is called postanoxic delayed encephalopathy (sequelae). This is the clinical report about one patient, a 73-year-old man, diagnosed with delayed encephalopathy after acute CO intoxication. The symptoms of the patient were mental dysfunction including memory impairment and disorientation, abnormal behavior, incontinence and mutism. He had completely recovered after an aonxic episode, but the neurological symptoms that developed were preceded by an interval of apparent normality (the 'lucid interval'). We characterized him as suffering deficiency syndrome of the heart and prescribed for him Bokreongbosim-tang and Guipi-tang, and thereafter his symptoms were remarkably improved. For the evaluation of clinical improvement, we use the Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Canadian Neurologic Scale (CNS), and the Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE)

Data assimilation is an initializing method for air quality forecasting such as PM10. It is very important to enhance the forecasting accuracy. Optimal interpolation is one of the data assimilation techniques. It is very effective and widely used in air quality forecasting fields. The technique, however, requires too much memory space and long execution time. It makes the PM10 air quality forecasting difficult in real time. We propose a fast optimal interpolation data assimilation method for PM10 air quality forecasting using a new kernel tridiagonal sparse matrix and CUDA massively parallel processing architecture. Experimental results show the proposed method is 5~56 times faster than conventional ones.

In this paper, we propose that the calculation method for accurate wind speed using interpolation methods, and the finding method for accurate wind direction using interpolation polynomial, so we make better performance for 3-Cup Anemometer by the proposed methods. We embody the 3-Cup Anemometer with photo sensor to measure wind direction and wind speed. In order to more accurate wind speed and wind direction, we present the methods to overcome the limitations of system memory and of the sensor measurement error by 8 bit gray code (as substitute 360 degrees for 256 degrees data).

Recently, Switching time is the principal factor in a design of frerquency synthesizer for Spread-Spectrum Communications. fast switching frequency synthesizer is important to improve the channel efficiency in a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FH-SS) tranceiver. In this paper, we design the frequency synthesizer with fast switching time as fast as 1${\mu}\textrm{s}$. In frequency synthesizer design, we use the interpolated PLL method inserted memory Look-up table of DDS to reduce switching time, and have result of improved channel efficiency about 20% by applying to FH-SS Transceiver.

이번 연구는 system-on-panel에 적용하기 위한 비휘발성 메모리의 전하보유시간 및 메모리 윈도우 특성 향상에 관한 연구이다. 이를 위해 SiO2/SiOX/SiOXNY의 메모리 구조를 이용하였으며, 채널층으로 결정화 온도에 따른 수소화된 미세결정 실리콘-게르마늄을 이용하였다. 채널 층으로 사용된 수소화된 미세결정 실리콘-게르마늄은 비정질 실리콘-게르마늄보다 더 낮은 bandgap과 더 적은 defect density로 인하여 더 향상된 전하보유시간 및 메모리 윈도우를 얻을 수 있었다. 결정화가 거의 이루어지지 않은 실리콘-게르마늄 비휘발성 메모리의 경우 약 4.9V의 메모리 윈도우를 얻을 수 있었다. 반면 300oC에서 약 43.4%의 결정화가 이루어진 실리콘-게르마늄의 메모리 윈도우는 약 5.9V로 약 17%의 향상이 있으며, 10년 후 74.5%의 높은 전하보유시간을 가졌다.

Vertical interconnect technology called 3D stacking has been a major focus of the next generation of IC industries. 3D stacked devices in the vertical dimension give several important advantages over conventional two-dimensional scaling. The most eminent advantage is its performance improvement. Vertical device stacking enhances a performance such as inter-die bandwidth improvements, RC delay mitigation and geometrical routing and placement advantages. At present memory stacking options are of great interest to many industries and research institutes. However, these options are more focused on a form factor reduction rather than the high performance improvements. In order to improve a stacked device performance significantly vertical interconnect technology with wafer level stacking needs to be much more progressed with reduction in inter-wafer pitch and increases in the number of stacked layers. Even though 3D wafer level stacking technology offers many opportunities both in the short term and long term, the full performance benefits of 3D wafer level stacking require technological developments beyond simply the wafer stacking technology itself.

This paper presents an efficient method of estimating the correlated color temperature of an input color image and of generating a converted color image that can approximate the new target color temperature. After extracting the potential reference white region for an uncalibrated color image and estimating its correlated color temperature, the color conversion method produces a new color image with a target color temperature. Speed improvement and memory reduction have been achieved by using a simple transfer method without involving the CIE XYZ conversion step.

Nowadays an HMM-based text-to-speech system (HTS) has been very widely studied because it needs less memory and low computation complexity and is suitable for embedded systems in comparison with a corpus-based unit concatenation text-to-speech one. It also has the advantage that voice characteristics and the speaking rate of the synthetic speech can be converted easily by modifying HMM parameters appropriately. We implemented an HMM-based Korean text-to-speech system using a small size Korean speech DB and proposes a method to increase the naturalness of the synthetic speech by controlling duration model parameters in the HMM-based Korean text-to speech system. We performed a paired comparison test to verify that theses techniques are effective. The test result with the preference scores of 73.8% has shown the improvement of the naturalness of the synthetic speech through controlling the duration model parameters.

Due to the drastic improvement of computer hardware and operating system, it is easy to break through the main defects of limited computer memory and processing time, etc. To keep up with this situation, this paper is focused on developing the preprocessor program with the input method based on vector graphic editor and the preprocessing technique including automatic node generation algorithm for the $\rho$-version finite element program. To develop this preprocessor program, the special data structure and the OOP(Object Oriented Programming) have been used by the Visual Basic 4.0. The Special data structure is proposed to describe the geometric data of node numberings and coordinates suitable for the $\rho$-version finite element program, which are quite different from the comvential h-version finite element program.

This paper proposes a cooperative parallel tabu search which incorporates with the historical information exchange among processors in addition to its own searching of each processor. We investigate the influence of our proposed cooperative parallel tabu search by comparison with a serial tabu search. We also propose two extensions of the cooperative parallel tabu search which are the cooperative construction of tabu memory and the selection of cooperative partner. Through computational experiment, we observe the improvement of solutions by our proposed method.
