A mobile satellite broadcasting service including an ancillary terrestrial component (ATC) takes advantage of the satellite's inherent capability to provide broadcast service over global coverage. We consider the downlink transmission concept using ATC with space=time code (STC) for the mobile satellite communication. We do not regard ATC as simply a repeater but consider it as an antenna for STC. First transmission scenarios for an application of STC are represented. Next, we apply STC in the mobile satellite system including ATC and compare the system performance in the proposed architecture of ATC to that in the conventional structure. The simulation results are compared to the conventional downlink transmission concept for the mobile satellite broadcasting service.

PURPOSE: Postural and structural asymmetry due to muscle imbalances around the lower back and pelvis are the causes of back pain. Muscle imbalances in patients with chronic low back pain affect the pelvic tilt and movement, and it is necessary to assess the pelvic movement ability using the appropriate tools to determine the mediating effects of lower back pain. This paper reports the reliability and validity of the Sensbalance Therapy Cushion (STC) for pelvic movement and proprioception. METHODS: In this study, the Wii balance board (WBB) was used as a golden standard for pelvic movement measurements. FABQ, KODI, Myovision, and Pelvic movement were measured in 50 patients with chronic low back pain. The correlation between the lower-back muscle activity and pelvic movement was checked. The pelvic movement parameter was measured twice to determine the intra-rater reliability. RESULTS: The STC showed high test-retest reliability in the pelvic tilt measurements (ICC = .672 - .809). The test-retest reliability of proprioception measurements (ICC = .588 - .859) and reaction time measurements (ICC = .542 - .836) were also high. The relationship between the WBB and STC showed a significant positive correlation with the pelvic tilt test (p < .01). The posterior pelvic tilt and lower-back muscle activity showed a significant negative correlation (p < .01). The pelvic left tilt and lower-back muscle activity showed a significant negative correlation (p < .05). CONCLUSION: The results revealed the high reliability and validity of the STC. Therefore, the STC can be used as an objective measuring device for evaluating pelvic tilt, proprioception, and reaction time in low back pain patients.

With the advance in semiconductor technology, the number of elements that can be integrated in system-on-chip(SoC) increases exponentially, and thus voltage scaling is indispensable to enhance energy efficiency. Near-threshold voltage computing(NTC) improves the energy efficiency by an order of degree, hence it is able to overcome the limitation of conventional super-threshold voltage computing(STC). Although NTC-based low performance manycore system can be used to maximize energy efficiency, it demands more number of cores to sustain the performance, which results in considerable increase of area. In this paper, we analyze NTC manycore architecture considering the trade-offs between performance, power, and area. Therefore, we propose an algorithmic methodology that can optimize power consumption and area while satisfying the required performance by determining the constrained number of cores and size of caches and clusters in NTC environment. Experimental results show that proposed NTC architecture can reduce power consumption by approximately 16.5 % while maintaining the performance of STC core under area constraint.

We present the performance of differential space-time block decoders. which does not require the channel state information. We suggest the structure of the multiple blocks differential space time decoders. which does not require the channel state information, and analyze the Performances. In quasi-static flat fading channels. the Performance of multiple blocks differential detection (MD-STC) outperforms that of 2 blocks(D-STC) by 1.5dB. But in the time-selective fading channels due to Doppler frequency $(f_d)$, the performance of MD-STC degrades as the vehicular speed is greater than 200km/hr in 802.16e systems, where the data transmission rate is 144kbps.

Alamouti STC (Space-Time Code) is a part of the UMTS-WCDMA standard. However, up to the best of our knowledge no closed-form BER formula for this famous code exists. Evaluating its performance through simulations is time-consuming and therefore, there should be analytical BER graphs to serve as a reference which are derived in this paper for coherently BPSK-modulated data.

HVDC System의 핵심 구성요소인 대용량 전력변환장치의 신뢰도를 확보하기 위해서는 시스템 설치 전에 전력변환장치를 구성하는 각 Thyrister Valve의 동작성능 검증이 매우 중요하다. 이러한 검증은 모든 Thyrister Valve를 대상으로 한 전수검사를 기본으로 하므로 Thyrister Valve의 성능시험장치 개발이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 Full Power 시험과 유사한 특성을 얻기 위한 시험장치의 용량을 최소화하기 위하여 STC(Synthetic Test Circuit)기법을 사용한 2kV, 200A급의 STC를 Simplorer6.0프로그램을 이용하여 구현하였으며, STC의 동작특성을 모의 하였다.

The purpose of this study is to obtain the basic data of existing light-weight Drywall through the evaluation and analysis of the light-weight drywall in reverberation chamber and to improve sound insulation performance of drywalls. Sound transmission loss of the total 11 types were analyzed in each frequency a-third octave band and evaluated sound insulation performance for each frequency. From data by analysis and calculation, STC value plotted on STC contour. We found that the improved light-weight drywall specimens ⓑ, ⓒ and ⓖ were satisfied with the domestic standard of sound transmission loss.

The rule bases self organizing controller(SOC) has one of its main advantages in the fact that there is no need to have a mathematical description of the system to be controlled. In this controller, the rules are linguistics statements expressed mathematically through the concepts of fuzzy sets and correspond to the actions a human operator would take when controlling a given process. With this controller, we have performed to sight stabilization system, and we realize that it needs a scale factor tuning. The self tuning controller(STC) uses an instantaneous system fuzzy performance which can give an inspection to the scale factor. Therefore, the STC can compensate the scale factor when it is not adequately tuned. With this trial, we shows that STC can give a good transient characteristics in the nonlinearity which imposed basically in the conventional servo system.

In urban area narrow commuter vehicles have attracted interest as a possible solution to reduce traffic congestion and parking problems. However, a narrow vehicle has an increased to overturn during hard cornering when compared to conventional vehicles. This tendency can be reduced by tilting it toward the inside of the turn. Two types of automatic tilting control systems which are Direct Tilt Control(DTC) and Steering Tilt Control(STC) have been developed. In this paper as one of the technique to improve the handling performance for the unusual vehicle the control system which blends both the DTC and the STC system is considered. It uses the merits of both the DTC and the STC system. As a control strategy for combination the switching control method is used. Finally, the fact that the unusual vehicle is safe under an emergency situation such as slippery road surface is proved by computer simulation.

In this paper, we implement a 2.4 kbps STC speech codec using the TMS320C6201 DSP The main job for this work is twofold: one is to convert floating-point operation in the codec into fixed-point operation while maintaining the high resolution, and the other is to optimize the program to make it run in real time with memory size as small as possible. The implemented decoder uses 54.8 kbyte of program memory, 29.7 kbyte of data ROM and 55.2 kbyte of data RAM, respectively. It also uses about 45% of maximum computation capacity of TMS320C6201.
