In this paper, a new clock and data recovery circuit is proposed for the application of data communication systems requiring ㎓-range clock signals. The circuit is suitable for recovering NRZ data which is widely used for high speed data transmission in ㎓ ranges. The high frequency jitter is one of major performance-limiting factors in PLL, particularly when NRZ data patterns are used. A novel phase detector is able to suppress this noise, and stable clock generation is achieved. Futhermore, the phase detector has an adaptive delay cell removing the dead zone problem and has the optimal characteristics for fast locking. The proposed circuit has a convenience structure that can be easily extended to multi-channels. The circuit is designed based on CMOS 0.25㎛ fabrication process and verified by measurement result.

In the Bluetooth piconet in which up to 7 slave devices can be connected simultaneously at one network instance, the wireless data expected to be sent over to the RF interface should be sliced by the unit of 1 micrometer, which is a requirement in the specification of the Bluetooth version 1.1. In this contribution, we have designed a digital low-pass filter which is able to slice the unstable analog signal fed from the RF interface to the Baseband, by the uniform unit of 1 micrometer, and is also capable of removing the possible noise which can be caused by the analog circuit system. The low-pass filter operated well in the various modes of the Bluetooth RF embedded Baseband chip such as sleep mode, normal mode, and high-speed mode at 12MHz, 24MHz, and 48MHz respectively.

The Hough transform (HT), that is a typical algorithm for detecting lines in images, needs considerable computational costs and easily detects pseudo-lines on the real world images, because of the large amount of features generated by their complex background or noise. This paper proposes an improved HT that add a preprocessing to estimate the validity of features to the conventional HT. The feature estimation can remove a lot of inessential features for the line detection using a pattern of $3{\times}3$ block features. Experiments using various images show that the proposed algorithm saves computational costs by removing 14%~58% of features depending on images and besides it is superior to the conventional HT in valid line detection.

In this paper, we studied on the hardware implementation of a 3${\times}$3 window weighted median filter using bit-level sorting algorithm. The weighted median filter is a generalization of the median filter that is able to preserve :,harp changes in signal and is very effective in removing impulse noise. It has been successfully applied in various areas such as digital signal and video/image processing. The weighted median filters are, for the most part, based on word-level sorting methods, which have more hardware and time complexity, However, the proposed bit-serial sorting algorithm uses weighted adder tree to overcome those disadvantages. It also offers a simple pipelined filter architecture that is highly regular with repeated modules and is very suitable for weighted median filtering. The algorithm was implemented by VHDL and graphical environment in MAX＋PlusII of ALTERA. The simulation results indicate that the proposed design method is more efficient than the traditional ones.

When we apply binary classification to multi-class classification for text categorization, we use the One-Against-All method generally, However, this One-Against-All method has a problem. That is, documents of a negative set are not labeled by human. Thus, they can include many noisy documents in the training data. In this paper, we propose that the Sliding Window technique and the EM algorithm are applied to binary text classification for solving this problem. We here improve binary text classification through extracting noise documents from the training data by the Sliding Window technique and re-assigning categories of these documents using the EM algorithm.

Differential Power Analysis is fully affected by various noises including temporal misalignment. Recently, Ryoo et al have introduced an efficient preprocessor method leading to improvements in DPA by removing the noise signals. This paper experimentally proves that the existing preprocessor method is not applied to all processor. To overcome this defect, we propose a Differential Trace Model(DTM). Also, we theoretically prove and experimentally confirm that the proposed DTM suites DPA.

Recently, the concept of "drive-by" bridge monitoring system using indirect measurements from a passing vehicle to extract key parameters of a bridge has been rapidly developed. As one of the most key parameters of a bridge, the natural frequency has been successfully extracted theoretically and in practice using indirect measurements. The frequency of bridge is generally calculated applying Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) directly. However, it has been demonstrated that with the increase in vehicle velocity, the estimated frequency resolution of FFT will be very low causing a great extracted error. Moreover, because of the low frequency resolution, it is hard to detect the frequency drop caused by any damages or degradation of the bridge structural integrity. This paper will introduce a new technique of bridge frequency extraction based on Hilbert Transform (HT) that is not restricted to frequency resolution and can, therefore, improve identification accuracy. In this paper, deriving from the vehicle response, the closed-form solution associated with bridge frequency removing the effect of vehicle velocity is discussed in the analytical study. Then a numerical Vehicle-Bridge Interaction (VBI) model with a quarter car model is adopted to demonstrate the proposed approach. Finally, factors that affect the proposed approach are studied, including vehicle velocity, signal noise, and road roughness profile.

The purpose of these experiments is often to scan infected patients with MRI. Therefore, it is to investigate whether the antibacterial film containing silver ions, which is a non-magnetic substance, affects magnetic resonance imaging. In this experiment, the ACR phantom was used, not the patient. The ACR phantom was wrapped in an antibacterial film and the SNR, CNR, sagittal localization image, and geometrical accuracy were compared before and after. The experiment was performed 10 times and the averaged values were compared. There were no significant differences in the results of all experiments. The FDA recommends removing metal and antibacterial film masks during MRI scans. The reason is that there was one case of injury with facial burns. When I touched the antibacterial film to check the fever during the 2 hour experiment, I did not feel any particular fever. In light of the experimental results, it would be helpful to use an antibacterial film when testing an infected patient. The reason is that there isn't a difference before and after the experiment of SNR, CNR, and sagittal localization images.

In this paper, a slotless outer rotor BLDC motor for a vehicle blower was designed and manufactured to improve the disadvantages of general motors. The proposed motor solves the noise caused by mechanical friction of DC motor during rotation by removing the brush, Also, slotless air-gap windings are used to improve cogging torque by BLDC motor slots. Then, the motor has a structure in which a magnet is attached to the external rotor and rotates simultaneously with the internal rotor, there is no change in magnetic flux. Therefore, it has high efficiency by fundamentally reducing iron loss.

This paper studies a method for reducing performance degradation due to losing sub-carrier orthogonality caused by power transient between physical channels in LTE uplink transmission. The pattern of inter-carrier interference(ICI) caused by power transient is different from what has been studied for doppler shift, in that its pattern occurs at front and rear sides of channels in each period of power transient. The reason of ICI's occurrence results from power difference between channels, power transient duration, multi-path channel delay spread, and numbers of sub-carrier. New criterion is proposed to find out number of taps of multi-tap equalizer enough to improve the ICI. The scheme is to determine the number of taps of multi-tap equalizer when a normalized interference or a normalized ICI is greater than a normalized noise. Simulation results show that the number of taps is flexibly adjusted according to SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) of a received signal to improve Bit Error Rate(BER), while the complexity of the proposed scheme is reduced down to 88 percentage of the classical method.
