This paper presents an emergency brushless synchronous generator having rotating exciter status monitoring and protection functions. For monitoring the rotating exciter status, a wireless rotor status detector and a digital AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator), which has a wireless communication capability, are proposed. The proposed rotor status detector detects temperatures of exciter armature and main field windings and input voltage and current of the main field. Therefore, it is possible to protect the generator from the over-temperature of windings and detect the exciter bridge diode fault. Furthermore, the proposed digital AVR has rotor status monitoring and protection function, and remote generator tuning, wireless group parallel operation function. So the operator can efficiently operate the generator using a smartphone from a remote area.

We report effcient cascaded Raman generation and signal amplification at 1.3.mu.m achieved in a ring resonator constructed solely from fiber components, i.e. fusion WDM couplers. Low-loss single-mode fiber with moderate $GeO_2$ content (18 mole %) is used as an active medium and pumped by a Nd:YAG laser at 1.064.mu.m. In a resonant cascaded geometry, this generates the third Stokes line at 1.24.mu.m, which acts as a pump for signal wavelength around 1.3.mu.m. A DFB laser operating at 1.315.mu.m is used to provide an input signal. An output signal powers up to 20 dBm (100 mW) with a 28 dB Raman gain are attained, where the Nd:YAG pump power is 3.4 W. It is also shown experimentally that it is important to use optical filters to suppress feedback from the resonator, permitting high Raman gain and good signal quality.

In order to achieve fast computational speed with good visual quality of output video, we propose a frequency domain based new fractal video compression scheme. Normalized cross correlation is used to find the structural self similar domain block for the input range block. To increase the searching speed, cross correlation is implemented in the frequency domain using FFT with one computational operation for all the domain blocks instead of individual block wise calculations. The encoding time is further minimized by applying rotation and reflection DFT properties to the IFFT of zero padded range blocks. The energy of overlap small size domain blocks is pre-computed for the entire reference frame and retaining the energies of the overlapped search window portion of previous adjacent block. Quadtree decompositions are obtained by using domain block motion compensated prediction error as a threshold to control the further partitions of the block. It provides a better level of adaption to the scene contents than fixed block size approach. The result shows that, on average, the proposed method can raise the encoding speed by 48.8 % and 90 % higher than NHEXS and CPM/NCIM algorithms respectively. The compression ratio and PSNR of the proposed method is increased by 15.41 and 0.89 dB higher than that of NHEXS on average. For low bit rate videos, the proposed algorithm achieve the high compression ratio above 120 with more than 31 dB PSNR.

This study analyses the seismic response of a three-dimensional (3-D) rigid massless square foundation resting or embedded in a viscoelastic soil limited by rigid bedrock. The foundation is subjected to harmonic oblique seismic waves P, SV, SH and R. The key step is the characterization of the soil-foundation interaction by computing the impedance matrix and the input motion matrix. A 3-D frequency boundary element method (BEM) in conjunction with the thin layer method (TLM) is adapted for the seismic analysis of the foundation. The dynamic response of the rigid foundation is solved from the wave equations by taking into account the soil-foundation interaction. The solution is formulated using the frequency BEM with the Green's function obtained from the TLM. This approach has been applied to analyze the effect of soilstructure interaction on the seismic response of the foundation as a function of the kind of incident waves, the angles of incident waves, the wave's frequencies and the embedding of foundation. The parametric results show that the non-vertical incident waves, the embedment of foundation, and the wave's frequencies have important impact on the dynamic response of rigid foundations.

In this paper, we propose an image compression scheme which uses a demosaicking network and a channel-wise decoder in the decoding network. For the demosaicing network, we use as the input a colored mosaiced pattern rather than the well-known Bayer pattern. The use of a colored mosaiced pattern results in the mosaiced image containing a greater amount of information pertaining to the original image. Therefore, it contributes to result in a better color reconstruction. The channel-wise decoder is composed of multiple decoders where each decoder is responsible for each channel in the color image, i.e., the R, G, and B channels. The encoder and decoder are both implemented by wavelet based auto-encoders for better performance. Experimental results verify that the separated channel-wise decoders and the colored mosaic pattern produce a better reconstructed color image than a single decoder. When combining the colored CFA with the multi-decoder, the PSNR metric exhibits an increase of over 2dB for three-times compression and approximately 0.6dB for twelve-times compression compared to the Bayer CFA with a single decoder. Therefore, the compression rate is also increased with the proposed method than with the method using a single decoder on the Bayer patterned mosaic image.

With the recent rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, its use is gradually expanding to include creative areas and building new content using generative AI solutions, reaching beyond existing data analysis and reasoning applications. Content creation using generative AI faces challenges owing to technical limitations and other aspects such as copyright compliance. Nevertheless, generative AI may increase the productivity of experts and overcome barriers to creative work by allowing users to easily express their ideas as digital content. Thus, various types of applications will continue to emerge. As images and videos can be created using text input on a prompt, generative AI allows to create and edit digital assets quickly. We present trends in generative AI technology for images, videos, three-dimensional (3D) assets and scenes, digital humans, interactive content, and interfaces. In addition, the prospects for future technological development in this field are discussed.

The presence of excavations or cavities beneath the foundations of a building can have a significant impact on their stability and cause extensive damage. Traditional methods for calculating the bearing capacity and subsidence of foundations over cavities can be complex and time-consuming, particularly when dealing with conditions that vary. In such situations, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques provide effective alternatives. This study concentrates on constructing a prediction model based on the performance of ML and DL algorithms that can be applied in real-world settings. The efficacy of eight algorithms, including Regression Analysis, k-Nearest Neighbor, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Multivariate Regression Spline, Artificial Neural Network, and Deep Neural Network, was evaluated. Using a Python-assisted automation technique integrated with the PLAXIS 2D platform, a dataset containing 272 cases with eight input parameters and one target variable was generated. In general, the DL model performed better than the ML models, and all models, except the regression models, attained outstanding results with an R² greater than 0.90. These models can also be used as surrogate models in reliability analysis to evaluate failure risks and probabilities.

본 논문에서는 Y-junction을 이용한 H-평면 8-way 구형 도파관 전력 분배기를 제안한다. 일반적인 N-way 전력분배기의 경우 T-junction을 이용하여 다단 형태로 구성이 되는데, 출력 포트 간의 간격이 가까운 경우 T-junction 만으로는 공간상의 제약으로 인하여 매칭 특성을 개선할 수 없다. 따라서 이 같은 경우에는 T-junction과 함께 다른 형태의 3포트 junction이 최종 출력단에 사용되어야 하는데, 본 논문에서는 Y-junction이 사용되었다. 제안된 Y-junction은 임피던스 매칭 특성을 향상시키기 위해 테이퍼드-라인 임피던스 변환기와 유도성 iris가 적용되었다. Y-junction을 이용한 8-way 전력 분배기를 제작하여 측정한 결과, 동작 주파수에서 반사 손실 값은 -30.8 dB, 삽입 손실은 약 -9.5 dB로 측정되었다. 또한, 출력 포트 간의 최대 위상차는 약 $1^{\circ}$로 측정되었다. 따라서 제안된 전력 분배기는 배열 안테나의 급전 구조와 같이 입력 전력을 동일한 크기와 위상으로 분기하는데 필요한 다양한 마이크로파 시스템에 적용하는데 있어서 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 배터리 관리 시스템 (BMS)에서 2차 전지 배터리를 통해 흐르는 전류의 정밀한 측정을 위한 cascaded-of-integrator feedforward (CIFF) 구조의 단일 비트 2차 델타-시그마 모듈레이터를 제안하였다. 제안된 모듈레이터는 2개의 스위치드 커패시터 적분기, 단일 비트 비교기, 비중첩 클록 발생기 및 바이어스와 같은 주변 회로로 구현하였다. 제안된 구조는 낮은 공통 모드 입력 전압을 가지는 low-side 전류 측정 방법에 적용되도록 설계되었다. Low-side 전류 측정 방법을 사용하면 회로 설계에 부담이 줄어들게 되는 장점을 가진다. 그리고 ±30mV 입력 전압을 15비트 해상도를 가지는 ADC로 분해하기 때문에 추가적인 programmable gain amplifier (PGA)를 구현할 필요가 없어 수 mW의 전력소모를 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 단일 비트 2차 CIFF 델타-시그마 모듈레이터는 350nm CMOS 공정으로 구현하였으며 5kHz 대역폭에 대해 400의 oversampling ratio (OSR)로 95.46dB의 signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR), 96.01dB의 spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) 및 15.56비트의 effective-number-of-bits (ENOB)을 달성하였다. 델타 시그마 모듈레이터의 면적 및 전력 소비는 각각 670×490㎛2 및 414㎼이다.
