In this paper, a speed-up technique for the non-local means (NLM) image denoising method based on local binary descriptor (LBD) is proposed. In the NLM, most of the computation time is spent on searching for non-local similar patches in the search window. The local binary descriptor which represents the structure of patch as binary strings is employed to speed up the search process in the NLM. The descriptor allows for a fast and accurate preselection of non-local similar patches by bitwise operations. Using this approach, a tradeoff between time-saving and noise removal can be obtained. Simulations exhibit that despite being principally constructed for speed, the proposed algorithm outperforms in terms of denoising quality as well. Furthermore, a parallel implementation on GPU brings NLM-LBD to real-time image denoising.

Antennas were fabricated by physical(adhesive) and chemical(deposition+plating) method on organic-inorganic composite material. And antennas were measured dielectric constant and gain. Dielectric constant of antennas were fabricated by physical method was decreased with increase of adhesive tape thickness and number of conduction material composition. But antennas were fabricated by chemical method was reached to 90 % of dielectric material. Gain of antennas were fabricated by physical method was decreased with increase of adhesive tape thickness. But they were unrelated with conduction material composition. The other side antennas were fabricated by chemical method excelled more 0.8 dBic than antennas were fabricated by physical method in gain of antenna. Finally, chemical method can expect excellent product process because it can produce smaller size, higher gain and elimination of many handworks.

The purpose of this study is to obtain strong bond strength at the interface between piezoelectric substrates and semiconductor thin films to be applied for the manufacture of high-performance acoustic wave semiconductor coupled device. For this purpose, we have compared and examined the effects of different surface treatment methods on hydrophile properties at the surface of the piezoelectric substrates. Moreover, we have observed the effect of microwave and laser on the elimination of water molecules at the interface. As for the piezoelectric substrates, dry method for surface treatment was found to be superior in the control of hydrophilicity of the surface compared to wet method. On the other hand, both microwave and laser were found to be effective in the elimination of water molecules in the interface.

In this paper, we propose a design of microwave motion detector using X-band doppler radar sensor to minimize the power consumption. To minimize the power consumption and implement battery operated system, pulse input with 2 KHz, 4% duty cycle is exerted on the doppler radar sensor. In order to simplify the process of working with ATmega2560 microcontroller unit, Arduino compatible board is designed and implemented. Arduino is open source hardware and many library software is published as open source tools. Smartphone app is also proposed and designed as a real-time user interface of the motion detector. The SQLite database on the Android mobile operating system is used for recording raw data of motion detection for post-processing job, such as fast Fourier transform (FFT). Bluetooth interface module is implemented on the motion detection board as a wireless communication interface to the smartphone. The speed of human movement is identified by post-processing FFT.

An active frequency doubler monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) for E-band transceiver applications is presented in this letter. This MMIC has been fabricated in a commercial $0.1-{\mu}m$ GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process on a 2-mil thick substrate wafer. The fabricated MMIC chip has been measured to have a high output power performance of over 13 dBm with a high fundamental leakage suppression of more than 38 dBc in the frequency range of 71 to 86 GHz under an input signal condition of 10 dBm. A microstrip coupled line is used at the output circuit of the doubler section to implement impedance matching and simultaneously enhance the fundamental leakage suppression. The fabricated chip is has a size of $2.5mm{\times}1.2mm$.

In this article, a simulation model of a microwave oven assembly line is developed to identify system parameters to improve the system performances such as work-in-process inventories, production lead time, mean earliness, mean tardiness and in-time completion rate. System parameters investigated include dispatching rules, lot sizing, setup time reduction, demand increase, productivity improvement, production scheduling, hardware characteristics, etc. The model has been developed using SIMAN simulation language which has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool to simulate complex manufacturing systems. We have suggested the results obtained to improve the system performances of an existing production line.

A D-band subharmonically-pumped resistive mixer has been designed, processed, and experimentally tested. The circuit is based on a $180^{\circ}$ power divider structure consisting of a Lange coupler followed by a ${\lambda}$/4 transmission line (at local oscillator (LO) frequency). This monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) has been realized in coplanar waveguide technology by using an InAlAs/InGaAs-based metamorphic high electron mobility transistor process with 100-nm gate length. The MMIC achieves a measured conversion loss between 12.5 dB and 16 dB in the radio frequency bandwidth from 120 GHz to 150 GHz with 4-dBm LO drive and an intermediate frequency of 100 MHz. The input 1-dB compression point and IIP3 were simulated to be 2 dBm and 13 dBm, respectively.

This paper presents development of a SEC(Solar Energy Concentration) utilizing the concentrated solar beam radiation for joining engineering thermoplastics such as Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene(ABS), Polycarbonate(PC) and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). In addition, to study the joining of the materials, necessary experimentation with applying primer was performed. Tensile tests were conducted to determine the bond strength achieved at the specimen Joint interface. Microscopic examinations of the fractured joints were performed in order to analyze the overall bond quality. Finally, the results in terms of bond strength achieved at the joint interface and energy consumed in the process was compared with those obtained with similar thermoplastic joining technique utilizing microwave energy.

본 연구의 목적은 선상에서 열수광물 내 Au를 효과적으로 용출하기 위한 마이크로웨이브-차아염소산 용출의 적용 가능성을 파악하는 것이다. 비교용출실험은 마이크로웨이브 질산용출의 유(T1)/무(T2)에 따른 Au 용출율의 영향을 확인하였다. 또한, 기계적 교반에 의한 전통적인 용출(T3)과 마이크로웨이브 용출에 따른 Au 용출율을 비교하였다. 마이크로웨이브 질산용출결과(고액비; 10%, 용출온도; 90℃, 용출시간; 20분), 금속의 용출율은 As>Pb>Cu>Fe>Zn 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 용출잔사 내 Au의 함량은 33.77 g/ton에서 60.02 g/ton으로 증가하였다. 염화물 용매제를 이용한 비교용출실험 결과, Au의 용출율은 T1(61.10%)>T3(53.30%)>T2(17.30%)순으로 높게 나타났다. 따라서, 해수를 이용하여 제조 가능하고 용출과정에서 발생되는 염소 가스를 포집하여 재이용 가능한 염화물은 Au용출을 위한 최적의 용매제로 예상된다. 또한 마이크로웨이브를 적용함으로써 시간, 효율 및 에너지 측면에서 효과적일 것으로 판단되어진다.

본 연구는 마이크로파 저온진공건조 기술을 이용하여 고효율 인삼개발을 하고자 하였다. 홍삼 제조 공정에서 증삼 후 $60-70^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 동안 건조하고 다시 $40^{\circ}C$에서 72시간동안 건조한 열풍 건조 홍삼과 증삼 후 마이크로파 저온진공건조기에서 900 watt, 2.45 MHz, 50 mmHg 조건으로 5시간동안 건조하고 다시 750 mmHg로 2시간동안 건조한 홍삼으로 조직 관찰, 관능평가, 진세노사이드 및 조사포닌 함량 변화 등을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 마이크로파 저온진공 홍삼은 색도가 밝은 색으로, 표면적은 다공성 조직으로 변화하였으며, 향미를 높이고 쓴 맛을 크게 감소시킴과 동시에 단 맛을 증가시켜 종합적인 선호도를 높였다. 또한, 단시간에 진세노사이드 $Rg_1$과 $Rb_1$ 함량을 열풍 건조 홍삼에 비해 1시간대에서 약 6배, 8배가 증가되었으나, $Rg_3$ 함량에서는 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 마지막으로 조사포닌 함량은 10-20분대부터 크게 증가하여 이후 지속적으로 높은 함량이 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합해보면, 마이크로파 저온진공홍삼은 열풍 건조 홍삼에 비해 다공성 조직 변화를 통해 단시간에 진세노사이드 및 조사포닌에 대한 추출 수율을 높이고 향미와 식감을 개선시켜 홍삼에 대한 선호도를 높일 수 있음을 확인되었다.
