  • Solid HETCOR (Hetero-Correlation) requires homo-dipolar decoupling between proton spins during the evolution and the mixing period in 2D-NMR. There are two different ways of achieving it with pulse sequences. One is based on the multiple pulse (MP) sequence where thousands of intense radio frequency (rf) pulses are used to remove the homo-dipolar interaction between protons. The other is utilizing the so-called Lee-Goldburg (LG) off-resonance scheme where a continuous rf-irradiation is used. In this report, the advantage of one technique to the other, is analyzed. LG version is evaluated better in S/N and easier in setup procedure with the same experimental time.

  • In this paper, we analyze the compression of optical soliton which is obtained by proceeding the optical pulse in FSDD(Fiber with Slowly Decreasing Dispersion) using both NSE(Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation) and GNSE(General Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation) and compare the results. We replace the FSDD with a sequence of fibers having different dispersion values and pompre the results with those obtained in FSDD. It is found that the same results in peak value and FWHM(Full width Half Maximum) can be obtained by replacing FSDD with a sequence of fibers having proper length. We vary the shape of initial pulse which is the input of FSDD and suggest the condition to obtain higher compression rate.

  • In brain MR imaging, contrast-enhanced study is important in the detection and characterization of lesions. As a postcontrast brain MR imaging, conventional T1 weighted imaging has been usually used. Magnetization transfer imaging has been used to increase conspicuity of enhancing lesions. In addition, fat-suppression imaging can be used as in other parts of the body. Recently, FLAIR sequence has been reported to be useful in detecting subarachnoid, meningeal, and subdural abnormalities. In this exhibit, we demonstrate basic principles and typical appearances of various pulse sequences that can be used as a postcontrast brain MR imaging in children. Furthermore, we discuss imaging strategies to increase clinical usefulness of postcontrast brain MR imaging for specific abnormalities. The advantages and disadvantages of each pulse sequence are also discussed.

  • Because of its effectiveness for the PD(partial discharge) pattern recognition, PSA(Pulse Sequence Analysis) has been considered as a new analytic method instead of conventional PRPDA(Phase Resolved Partial Discharge Analysis). However, PSA has a big problem that can misanalyze patterns in case of data missing resulting from poor sensitivity because it analyses the correlation between sequential pulses, which leads to hesitate to apply it to on-site. Therefore, in this paper, the problems of PSA such as data missing and noise adding cases were investigated. For the purpose, PD data obtained from various defects including noise adding data were used and analysed, The result showed that both cases can cause fatal errors in recognizing PD patterns. In case of the data missing, the error depends on the kinds of defect and the degree of degradation. Also, it could be noticed that the error due to adding noises was larger than that due to some data missing.

  • By designing the gradient pulses to be velocity compensated during one pulse cycle in SSFP (steady state free precession) imaging, the flowing spins can be maintained in the steady state. In the new SSFP sequence the flow signal which might be lost in conventional SSFP imaging sequences can be restored owing to the signal contribution from the preceding pulse cycles. By using the proposed SSFP sequence substantial restoration of the flow signal has been observed for the CSF (cerebro spinal fluid) of the human head.

  • This paper deals with pulse multiplication in zigzag connected autotransformer based 12-pulse AC-DC converters feeding vector controlled induction motor drives (VCIMD) for improving the power quality at the point of common coupling (PCC) without using a Zero-Sequence-Blocking-Transformer (ZSBT). The proposed 24-pulse AC-DC converter is based on the principle of DC ripple re-injection technique for pulse multiplication and harmonic mitigation. The design of the autotransformer is carried out for the proposed AC-DC converter and the effect of load variation on VCIMD is also studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed AC-DC converter. Test results from a laboratory developed prototype, along with simulated results, are presented to validate the design and model of the proposed 24-pulse AC-DC converter.

  • In this paper, the performance of double binary turbo code is analyzed and simulated in ultra wide-band (UWB) systems employing multiple-antenna scheme. We consider both pulse position modulation-time hopping (PPM-TH) and pulse amplitude modulation-direct sequence (PAM-DS) UWB systems. The space time block code (STBC) scheme is adopted as a transmit diversity method. Also, receive diversity scheme is applied. And double binary turbo code is applied to the UWB system.

  • The mapping of the spin-spin relaxation time T2 in pixel-by-pixel was suggested as a quantitative diagnostic tool in medicine. although the CPMG pulse sequence has been known to be the best pulse sequence for T2 measurement in physics NMR, the supplied pulse sequence by the manufacture of MRI system was able to obtain the maximum of 4 CPMG images. Eight or more images with different echo time TEs are required to construct a reliable T2 map, so that two or more acquisitions were required, which easily took more than 10 minutes. 4-echo CPMG imaging pulse sequence was modified to generate the maximum of 8 MR images with evenly spaced echo time TEs. In human MR imaging, since patients tend to move at least several pixels between the different acquisitions, 8-echo CPMG imaging sequence reduces the acquisition time and may remove any mis-regitration of each pixels signal for the fitting of T2. The resultant T2 maps using the theoretically simulated images and using the MR images of the human brain suggested that 8 echo CPMG sequence with short echo spacing such as 17-20 msec can give the reliable T2 map.
