In the underwater acoustic systems. we can receive signals and retrieve information about a target by using a beamforming method. The most important thing in the beamforming is finding the way to optimize the mainlobe beamwidth and the sidelobe level to the desired value. One of the prominent results of beamforming method. which has been studied. is Philip's weighting function method(1) . Philip's method adaptively adjusts its weights of array to meet the desired mainlobe beamwidth and sidelobe level. It is very similar to the design method in adaptive filter. However. this method cannot easily bring us to the desired sidelobe level due to complementary relation between mainlobe beamwidth and sidelobe level. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm using partial constrained adaptation. This method makes us circumvent the above problem and meet the specification of design easily. The proposed algorithm presents a Pattern synthesis that designer can easily control the mainlobe beamwidth and the sidelobe level to the desired value while calculation time to converge is decreasing.

Recently, with the development of IoT technology and AI, unmanned and automated in various fields, interest in video processing, which is the basis for automation such as object recognition and object classification, is increasing. Various studies have been conducted on noise removal in the video processing process, which has a significant impact on image quality and system accuracy and reliability, but there is a problem that it is difficult to restore images for areas with high impulse noise density. In this paper proposes a filter algorithm based on partial mask and Lagrange interpolation to restore the damaged area of impulse noise in the image. In the proposed algorithm, the filtering process was switched by comparing the filtering mask with the noise estimate and the purge weight was calculated based on the low frequency component and the high frequency component of the image to restore the image.

This paper proposes a high efficient and low power FIR filter chip for partial-response maximum likelihood (PRML) disk drive read channels; it is a 6-bit, 8-tap digital FIR filter. The proposed filter employs a parallel processing architecture and consists of 4 pipeline stages. It uses the modified Booth algorithm for multiplication and compressor logic for addition. CMOS pass-transistor logic is used for low power consumption and single-rail logic is used to reduce the chip area. The proposed filter is actually implemented and the chip dissipates 120mV at 100MHz, uses a 3.3V power supply and occupies 1.88 ${\times}$ 1.38 $\textrm{mm}^2$. The implemented filter requires approximately 11.7% less power compared with the existing architectures that use the similar technology.

This paper proposed a novel H.264 deblocking filter for low-power mobile multimedia SoCs. In H.264 deblocking filter, filtering can be skipped on some pixels when pixel value differences satisfy some specific conditions. Furthermore, whole filtering can be skipped when quantization parameter is less than 16. Based on these features, power consumption can be significantly reduced by shutting down deblocking filter partially or as a whole. The proposed deblocking filter can shut down partial or whole blocks with simple control circuits. Common hardware performs both horizontal filtering and vertical filtering. It was implemented in silicon chip using $0.35{\mu}m$ standard cell library technology. The gate count is about 20,000 gates. The maximum operation frequency is 108MHz. The maximum throughput is 30 frame/s with CCIR601 image format.

Filtration experiments were conducted to determine the characteristics of manganese removal in filtration using 4 different filter media including sand and manganese sand(MS). Filtration velocity was 123 m/d and the flow rate was $3.9m^3/d$ per column. Duration of these experiments was about one year, and manganese dioxide accumulation, turbidity removal, manganese removal, and organic material removal were examined depending on filter media. When filter influent(residual chlorine 1.0 mg/L) with an average manganese concentration of 0.208 mg/L was fed through a filter column, the sand+MS and MS columns removed 98.9% and 99.2% of manganese respectively on an annual basis. When there is need to replace the sand filters with a MS filter to remove manganese, it was shown that the replacement of a partial sand filter with MS had adequate manganese removal.

In this paper, we propose a color based hierarchically propagated particle filter that extends the color based particle filter into the articulated upper body tracking. Since color feature is robust to partial occlusion and rotation, the color based particle filter is widely used for object tracking. However, in articulated body tacking, it is not desirable to use the traditional particle filter because the dimension of the state vector usually is high and thus, many samples are required for robust hacking. To overcome this problem, we use a hierarchical tracking method for each body part based on the blown body part. By using a hierarchical tracking method, we can reduce the number of samples for robust tracking in the cluttered environment. Also for human pose recognition, we classify the human pose into eight categories using Support Vector Machine(SVM) according to the angle between upper- arm and fore-arm. Experimental results show that our proposed method is more efficient than the traditional particle filter.

In this paper, a systolic array structure is derived from the realization of 2-D IIR digital filters directed from the SFG(signal flow graph). After realized the 1-D formed partial systolic array, we implemented the complete systolic array to be cascaded 1-D form. The cascading of partial systolic arrays reduce the storage element which sued to delay input signal. 1-D systolic array is derived from that DG is designed through local communication approach and then it mapping to SFG. The derived structure is very simple and has high throughput because during new imput sample is supplied, new output is obtained every sampling period. And broadcast input signal is eliminated. Since the systolic array has property of regularity, modularity, local interconnection and highly synchronized multiprocessing, thus is very suitable for VLSI implementation.

In this paper, we developed HPF (high pass filter) consists of lumped LC components to decrease the noises that are detected in PD (partial discharge) measuring test, and adapted it to field test. We tested it under laboratory circumstances like the fields, and measured the phase change properties of detected signal in UHF sensor with Lemke Probe and oscilloscope (TDS-3054, Tektronix). As a result, we obtained available data showing the decrease of noises in the experiments with the developed HPF from the joint box of 22.9kV distribution line. The result can be adapted to prevent the degeneration of the XLPE power cable, and to observe and diagnosis the underground power transmission cable at the ultra-high voltage.

This paper presents a modified adaptive fading EKF (AFEKF) for sensor fault detection and isolation in the satellite. Also, the fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme is developed in three phases. In the first phase, the AFEKF is modified to increase sensor fault detection performance. The sensor fault detection and sensor selection method are proposed. In the second phase, the IMM filer with scalar penalty is designed to detect wherever actuator faults occur. In the third phase of the FDI scheme, the sub-IMM filter is designed to identify the fault type which is either the total or partial fault. An important feature of the proposed FDI scheme can decrease the number of filters for detecting sensor fault. Also, the proposed scheme can classify fault detection and isolation as well as fault type identification.

[ $\underline{Purpose}$ ]: This study was to evaluate the survival and pattern of failure after radiation therapy of sino-nasal cancer using partial attenuation filer and wedged beams and to help radiotherapy planning of sino-nasal cancer. $\underline{Materials\;and\;Methods}$: Between February 1992 and March 2003, 17 patients with sino-nasal cancers underwent radiation therapy using partial attenuation filter at Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung university. There were 9 male and 8 female patients. Patients' age ranged from 40 to 75 years (median 59 years). There were 10 patients of maxillary sinus cancer, 7 patiens of nasal cancer. The histologic type was squamous cell carcinoma in 11, adenoid cystic carcinoma in 4 and olfactory neuroblastoma in 2. The distribution of clinical stage by the AJCC system was 3 for stage II, 7 for III and 6 for IV. The five patients were treated with radiation alone and 12 patients were treated with surgery and postoperative radiation therapy. The range of total radiation dose delivered to the primary tumor was from 44 to 76 Gy (median 60 Gy). The follow-up period ranged from 3 to 173 months with median of 78 months. $\underline{Results}$: The overall 2 year survival rate and disease free survival rate was 76.4%. The 5 year and 10 year survival rate were 76.4% and 45.6% and the 5 year and 10 year disease free survival rate was 70.6%. The 5 year disease free survival rate by treatment modality was 91.6% for postoperative radiation group and 20% for radiation alone group, statistical significance was found by treatment modality (p=0.006). There were no differences in survival by pathology and stage. There were local failure in 5 patients (29%) but no distant failure and no severe complication required surgical intervention. $\underline{Conclusion}$: Radiation therapy of sino-nasal cancer using partial attenuation filter was safe and effective. Combined modality with conservative surgery and radiation therapy was more advisable to achieve loco-regional control in sino-nasal cancer. Also we considered high precision radiation therapy with dose escalation and development of multi-modality treatment to improve local control and survival rate in advanced sino-nasal cancer.
