The dissolution of ionized gas in dielectric barrier plasma, similar to the principle of ozone generation, is a major performance-affecting factor. In this study, the plasma gas dissolving performance of a gas mixing-circulation plasma process was evaluated using an experimental design methodology. The plasma reaction is a function of four parameters [electric current (X₁), gas flow rate (X₂), liquid flow rate (X₃) and reaction time (X₄)] modeled by the Box-Behnken design. RNO (N, N-Dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline), an indictor of OH radical formation, was evaluated using a quadratic response surface model. The model prediction equation derived for RNO degradation was shown as a second-order polynomial. By pooling the terms with poor explanatory power as error terms and performing ANOVA, results showed high significance, with an adjusted R² value of 0.9386; this indicate that the model adequately satisfies the polynomial fit. For the RNO degradation, the measured value and the predicted values by the model equation agreed relatively well. The optimum current, gas flow rate, liquid flow rate and reaction time were obtained for the highest desirability for RNO degradation at 0.21 A, 2.65 L/min, 0.75 L/min and 6.5 min, respectively.

This paper presents the sensor fusion algorithm that recognizes a primary vehicle by fusing radar and monocular vision data. In general, most of commercial radars may lose tracking of the primary vehicle, i.e., the closest preceding vehicle in the same lane, when it stops or goes with other preceding vehicles in the adjacent lane with similar velocity and range. In order to improve the performance degradation of radar, vehicle detection information from vision sensor and path prediction predicted by ego vehicle sensors will be combined for target classification. Then, the target classification will work with probabilistic association filters to track a primary vehicle. Finally the performance of the proposed sensor fusion algorithm is validated using field test data on highway.

OFDM 시스템에 적응전송방식을 적용하기 위해서 송신단은 사용자의 정확한 채널 정보를 획득하여야 하지만, 고속의 이동성을 가지는 실외 환경의 경우, 실제 채널과 적응 전송시 고려하는 채널이 달라지기 때문에 시스템 성능열화가 발생하게 된다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 채널예측 기법을 적응전송방식에 적용하는 연구가 시작되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 채널 예측 기법은 정해진 시간동안, 예를 들면 한 슬롯동안 채널의 변화가 없다는 가정에서 제안되었다. 따라서 이러한 기술들은 한 슬롯 내에서 빠르게 변하는 채널에 기인하여 발생하는 Packet Error Rate 성능 열화 문제를 해결할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 빠른 시변채널에서 적응전송방식을 적용하기 위한 새로운 OFDM/FDD 시스템 기반 채널 예측 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 채널 예측 기법은 한 슬롯 내에서 변하는 채널의 시변 특성을 고려하여 채널을 예측하는 특징을 가진다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 의하면 ITU-R Veh A 30km/h 채널에서 제안하는 채널 예측 기법을 이용하여 적응 변조 및 코딩을 수행하는 OFDM/FDD 시스템은 기존의 일반적인 채널예측 방식을 이용하는 경우에 비하여 시스템 Throughput의 손실이 없이 Target PER 1%를 보장할 수 있다.

마이크로프로세서의 성능 저하를 일으키는 주된 원인은 분기에 의한 파이프라인의 정지이다. 분기타겟 버퍼는 분기를 예측하여 다음 실행 명령어의 주소를 제공한다. 이로써 마이크로프로세서의 자연스런 명령어의 실행 흐름은 끊어지지 않게 되고 높은 성능 향상을 기대할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 가상주소를 실제주소로 바꾸어 주는 TLB와 분기 타겟 버퍼가 각각 가지고 있는 태그 메모리를 공유하는 구조를 제안한다. 이러한 공유 태그 구조의 이점은 2개의 태그 메모리를 하나로 공유함으로써 칩 면적의 감소를 꾀하고 분기 예측 속도를 향상시킬 수 있다는 점이다. 또한, 이러한 구조는 주소로 사용되는 비트 수가 커지거나 여러 개의 명령어를 동시에 실행할 수 있는 구조에서 이점이 더욱 커지기 때문에 향후 개발되는 마이크로프로세서에서 더욱 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we propose a fast intra prediction mode selection method in Scalable Video Coding(SVC) which is an emerging video coding standard as an extension of H.264/Advanced Video Coding(H.264/AVC). The proposed method decides a candidate intra prediction mode based on the characteristic of macroblock smoothness. Statistical analysis is applied to computing that smoothness in spatial enhancement layer. We also propose an early termination scheme for Intra_BL mode decision where the RD cost value of Intra_BL is utilized. Compared with JSVM software, our scheme can reduce about 55% of the computation complexity of intra prediction on average, while the performance degradation is negligible; For low QP values, the average PSNR loss is very negligible, equivalently the bit rate increases by 0.01%. For high QP values, the average PSNR loss is less than 0.01dB, which equals to 0.25% increase in bitrate on average.

In the high lift devices specifications for surface smoothness requirements, as manufacturing tolerances, arise out of aerodynamic consideration to minimize drag. True optimization of tolerances is a multi-disciplinary problem involving fluid mechanics, device performance, manufacturing philosophy and life cycle costing. One of the reasons for degradation of wetted surface is discrete roughness as a consequence of manufacturing defects, collectively termed as one of the excrescences effect. Usually, excrescence drag arising out of discrete roughness is of considerable lower order of magnitude as compared to the total drag of the flight bodies. Nor was there adequate predicting tool to account for the extent of drag degradation. Estimation of excrescence drag remained as a state-of-the art based on experimental results.

Digital input and output modules are widely used to connect digital sensors and actuators to automation systems. Digital I/O modules provide flexible connectivity extension to numerous sensors and actuators and protect systems from high voltages and currents by isolation. Components in digital I/O modules are inevitably affected by operating and environmental conditions, such as high voltage, high current, high temperature, and temperature cycling. Because digital I/O modules transfer signals or isolate the systems from unexpected voltage and current transients, their failures may result in signal transmission failures and damages to sensitive circuitry leading to system malfunction and system shutdown. In this study, the lifetime of optocouplers, one of the critical components in digital I/O modules, was predicted using Bayesian tracking approaches. Accelerated degradation tests were conducted for collecting the critical performance parameter of optocouplers, current transfer ratio (CTR), during their lifetime. Bayesian tracking approaches, including extended Kalman filter and particle filter, were applied to predict the failure. The performance of each prognostic algorithm was then compared using accuracy and robustness-based performance metrics.

Recently, many photovoltaic systems (PV systems) including solar parks and PV farms have been built to prepare for the post fossil fuel era. To investigate the degradation process of the PV systems and thus, efficiently operate PV systems, there is a need to visually monitor PV systems in the range of infrared ray through the Internet. For efficient visual monitoring, this paper explores a multithreaded implementation of a recently developed HEVC standard whose compression efficiency is almost two times higher than H.264. For an efficient parallel implementation under a meshbased 64 multicore system, this work takes into account various design choices which can solve potential problems of a two-dimensional interconnects-based 64 multicore system. These problems may have not occurred in a small-scale multicore system based on a simple bus network. Through extensive evaluation, this paper shows that, for an efficient multithreaded implementation of HEVC intra prediction in a mesh-based multicore system, much effort needs to be made to optimize communications among processing cores. Thus, this work provides three design choices regarding communications, i.e., main thread core location, cache home policy, and maximum coding unit size. These design choices are shown to improve the overall parallel performance of the HEVC intra prediction algorithm by up to 42%, achieving a 7 times higher speed-up.

오늘날 인터넷을 기반으로 하는 원격 제어 기술이 급속히 발달하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 원거리 네트워크 기반 제어는 데이터를 전송함에 있어서 지연이 불가피하며, 또한 이 지연이 일정하지 않은 문제점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 네트워크 지연은 시스템의 안정성이나 정확도에 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크상의 데이터 전송 지연을 고려한 이동 로봇의 원격 운용을 위해 TSK (Takagi-Sugeno-Kang) 퍼지 시스템을 이용하여 전송 지연의 확률 분포 함수와 네트워크 모델을 구하고 이를 전송 지연 예측 알고리즘에 적용하였다. 그리고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로부터 제안된 알고리즘의 실효성을 검증하고, 기존의 예측 알고리즘과의 비교분석을 통하여 그 성능을 평가하였다.

For large vocabulary speech recognition using HMMs, context-dependent subword units have been often employed. However, when context-dependent phone models are used, they result in a system which has too may parameters to train. The problem of too many parameters and too little training data is absolutely crucial in the design of a statistical speech recognizer. Furthermore, when building large vocabulary speech recognition systems, unseen triphone problem is unavoidable. In this paper, we propose the modified phonetic decision tree algorithm for the automatic prediction of unseen triphones which has advantages solving these problems through following two experiments in Japanese contexts. The baseline experimental results show that the modified tree based clustering algorithm is effective for clustering and reducing the number of states without any degradation in performance. The task experimental results show that our proposed algorithm also has the advantage of providing a automatic prediction of unseen triphones.
