This article attempts to describe and analyze the rules on the buyer's remedies for lack of conformity under PELS. It shows that such remedies under the PELS operate in a two-tier remedial scheme which is alien to both domestic and international legal systems. That is, repair and replacement take the position of primary remedy, whereas termination, price reduction and damages are secondary remedies which are available only where the primary remedies cannot be invoked. Notwithstanding its superiority, the PELS have some drawbacks in several aspects. First, the PELS seems to place its focus on the factor of cost except the other factors, for instance, the significance of the lack of conformity, when one decides whether the first tier remedies cause the seller unreasonable effort or expense. It is argued that the factors can be considered by referring to art. 1:302 PECL. Second, the PELS does not expressively provide any exclusion of the seller's right to choose between repair or replacement on the basis of unreasonable uncertainty in reimbursing the expenses advanced by the buyer. It argues that if there is such uncertainty, it should be regarded as causing the buyer an unreasonable inconvenience under art. 4:204(1). Third, the PELS does not seem to properly reflect the consumer's interests in that most consumers prefer to have the absolute right of termination as against the commercial sellers who have a relatively stronger bargaining position. The reasons for that is that there is a big hurdle, i.e., a hierarchy of remedies, to be overcome by the consumer to battle with the commercial seller, and that unavoidable vagueness in defining a minor lack of conformity has been often used against the consumer, but in favour of the commercial seller with a strong bargaining position.

The effects of the magnetic property variation on current-induced magnetization switching in magnetic tunnel junction with perpendicular magnetic anistoropy (PMA) and the soft magnetic polarization-enhancement layers (PELs) inserted between the layers with PMA and the MgO layer was studied. A micromatnetic model was used to estimate the switching time of the free layer by different applied current densities, with changing saturation magnetization ($M_s$) of the PELs, interlayer exchange coupling between PMA layers and PELs. The switching time could be significantly reduced at low current densities, by increasing $M_s$ of PELs and decreasing interlayer exchange coupling.

This study attempts to provide a comparative overview of the liability systems Korean law and the PELS adopt, that is, the approaches taken by Korean law and the PELS to deal with various irregularities of contractual performance. In addition, it examines in a comparative way the questions of what is the position of the seller's liability for his delivery of defective goods under the chosen liability system and what is the legal nature of the seller's liability. The study finds that the dual liability system taken by Korean law has caused some complexities as to the matter of which liability is applicable in some borderline cases. The problem in such complexities is originated in that the remedies available and the limitation period applicable are differentiated in accordance with one's different categorization among three types of default under the general liability and defective performance under the seller's guarantee liability. In this light, the study argues that the unified liability system under the PELS is superior because its concept of non-performance embraces in a unitary manner all the aspects of default including defects in quality, quantity and title. In addition, it finds that Korean law has suffered endless debates on the question of what are the true contents of the same remedies of rescission and damages provided under the seller's guarantee liability as under the general liability. The debates have been come along on the basis of the traditional presumption among some of civil law jurisdictions that two liabilities be different in terms of not only their legal nature but also their contents of remedies. The study argues that the problem may be circumvented, first, by another way of thinking that the unified liability in Korean law is inferred from the specification of the identical remedies for both the general liability and the seller's guarantee liability under the KCC, second, by the preposition that the requirement of fault be depended upon what remedy the buyer seeks to claim rather than what liability he does to rely on.

There are three different approaches to chemical risk assessment which will be considered in this paper. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) Cancer Risk Assessment includes some of the approaches used by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) effort is an evaluated database approach similar to that used in the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Criteria Documents and in the documentations prepared by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for the Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) and those of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) for the Threshold Limit Values (TLVs). A third approach is used by the Committee on Toxicology.

본 논문에서는 이동보상과 분류 벡터양자화기를 이용한 화면각 부호화방법을 제안하였다. 이동보상벡터양자화방식에서는 중요화소를 포함하는 블록을 효과적으로 부호화하는 것이 중요하다. 이러한 관점에서, 이동보상후에 나타나는 화면간 예측오차에 적합한 분류법을 갖는 새로운 CVQ 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 저 전송율에서 영상을 효과적으로 부호화하기 위하여 이동보상에서 처리단위인 블록을 4개의 크기가 같은 벡터로 나누고, 각 벡터들을 벡터내의 중요화소의 위치에 따라 15부류로 분류하여 각기 독립적으로 제작된 부호책에 따라 벡터양자화기로 부호화하였다. 컴퓨터 모의실험 결과에서 영상회의와 영상전화와 같은 상대적으로 움직임이 적은 영상에 대하여, 평균 비트율이 0.2~0.25 bit/pel에서 35~37dB의 신호대 잡음비를 얻었다.

This paper proposes an efficient predictive image-compression technique based on vector quantization of blocks of pels. In the proposed method edge contents of blocks control the selection of predictors and block shapes as well. The maximum number of bits assigned to quantizers has been in creased to 3bits/pel from 1/5bits/pel, the setting employed by forerunners in predictive vector quantization of images. This increase prevents the saturation in SNR observed in their results in high bit rates. The variable block shape is instrumental in eh reconstruction of edges. The adaptive procedure is controlled by means of he standard deviation ofp rediction errors generated by a default predictor; the standard deviation address a decision table which can be set up beforehand. eh proposed method is characterized by overall improvements in image quality over A-VQ-PE and A-DCT VQ, both of which are known for their efficient use of vector quantizers.

본 논문에서는 움직임 추정을 위한 Efficient Center- Biased Hybrid Search (ECBHS) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 Center-Biased Hybrid Search (CBHS) 알고리즘에 기초하고 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 +, X, 다이아몬드 탐색형태를 결합하여 탐색 윈도우의 중앙으로부터 3pel 이내에 분포하는 움직임 벡터를 찾는 과정에서 탐색점을 효과적으로 감소시킨다. ECBHS는 UCHDS 및 CBHS와 거치 동일한 움직임 추정 정확도를 유지하면서 움직임 추정을 위한 연산량을 효과적으로 감소시킨다. 제안된 알고리즘의 효율성을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

In this paper, a new method of Hangul recognition is proposed to solve the problems of misrecognition owing to the contacts of FCEs (Fundamental Character Elements) in a Hangul pattern. Structures of FCFs are represented with PAG(Programmed Array Grammar) to recognize an input pattern on 2-D. array of pels., and the unnecessary deformation of the conventional approach can be eliminated by using PEACE parsing which extracts primitives and computes attributes in the course of analyzing the structure of an input pattern. Also, primitive transformation at contacts can afford to confirm all the possible structures of an input pattern and solve the problem of misrecognition owing to the contacts of FCEs. The recognition rate of proposed method for printed Hangul characters shows 96.2% for 1978 Gothic-letters and 92.0% for 1920 Myng-style-letters, respectively.

It is assumed in the block matching algorithm(BMA) that all the pels in a block have a same motion vector. Then, the motion vector of a block in the BMA is matched to only one or none of the objects in the worst case if objects in a block have different motion vectors. This is apparent in the motion estimation using the fast BMA which has the effect of reducing the computation time and hardware complexity, compared to the full search BMA. Although the motion vector in the motion estimation using small block size is accurate, the increased number of bits is required to represent motion vectors. In this paper, new motion vector segmentation with less additional information and hardware complexity than the conventional method is proposed. In the proposed method, a motion vector is derived from the block for motion vector segmentation and another motion vector is extracted from four neighboring blocks to consiture a motion vector pair. For the accurate motion vector of each subblock, the motion vector is assigned to each subblock by mean squared error measure. And the overlapped motion compensation using window is also applied to reduce displaced frame difference.
