OFDM 시스템에서 송수신단의 샘플링 주파수가 정확하지 않을 경우 샘플링 주파수 옵셋으로 인한 ICI(Inter-Carrier Interference) 현상이 발생하여 수신 성능의 열화를 초래한다. 일반적으로 샘플링 주파수 옵셋은 주파수 영역에서 2개의 인접한 OFDM 심볼의 동일한 파일럿 위치에서의 부반송파간 상관을 통해 추정하게 되는데, 본 논문에서는 인접한 심볼뿐만 아니라 더 많은 연속된 심볼들 간의 다양한 조합을 통한 상관을 이용하여 샘플링 주파수 옵셋을 추정하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법을 DVB-T(2K 모드) 시스템에 적용하여 모의실험을 진행하고, 이를 통해 AWGN 채널 환경에서 심볼들 사이의 잡음의 영향을 줄임으로써 샘플링 주파수 옵셋 추정 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인한다.

A fast response analyzer for measuring carbon dioxide concentration has been developed for transient characteristic and researches tested on internal combustion engine. The analyzer uses the well known NDIR(Non-Dispersive Infrared) method with miniaturized detection system, giving a time constant of approximately 30 microsecond, and sampling module consists of capillary tube. Since the transit time and the time constant of the sampling system depend on the sampling conditions, it is necessary to investigate the characteristics of sampling system before applied to exhaust gas measurement in engine. A unique method was designed to study the influence of the diameter of transfer sample line and operating conditions of the FRNDIR on transit time and time constant. A database of transit time and time constant was built up for different measured and simulated pressure conditions. The database can be used for correcting eventual $CO_2$ concentration measurement.

일반적인 bandpass sampling 방법인 real bandpass sampling 기법은 하향변환(downconversion)을 시행할 때 음의 주파수 대역의 RF 신호와의 에일리어싱(aliasing) 현상을 피해야 하므로 신중한 sampling 주파수 선택이 요구된다. 더욱이 다중신호(multiple signals)가 하향변환 될 경우에 이 sampling 방법은 더욱 많은 제약이 따르게 된다. 그러나 Hilbert 변환을 사용하는 complex bandpass sampling 방법은 음의 주파수 영역의 신호를 제거함으로써, real bandpass sampling 기법보다 유연하고 넓은 sampling 주파수 범위를 제공하며, 또한 더욱 낮은 sampling 주파수를 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 complex bandpass sampling의 특징을 사용하여, 다중 신호를 하나의 통신 기기에서 동시에 하향 변환하는 수신기의 구조를 제시한다. 그리고 하나 또는 2개 신호의 하향변환에 관한 내용으로 제한하지 않고 N개의 신호로 확장하여 유효 sampling 주파수 영역 및 보호대역(guard-band)이 고려된 sampling 가능 최소 주파수에 관한 수식들을 일반화한다. 또한 모의실험을 통해 유도된 수식들을 증명한다.

The university president direct election system in Korea had begun in 1987 as a movement of college democratization in the 1980s after 6.29 Declaration. Since then, many national/private universities had adopted the election system. However, it has posed many problems and it caused a sharp division of opinions between those who approve and disapprove the direct election system. Since 2005, the government has made official of the reformation and/or abolition of the university president direct election system, and has kept pushing for universities to give up the direct election system. Now, only 3 or 4 universities hold on to the system, and many universities have changed into the indirect election system. In the indirect election, a key is the composition of president nomination committee, which confirms the university members's variety. Many universities adopting the indirect election system have used simple random sampling, like drawing lots, to compose the president nomination committee. However, drawing lots has a problem that it has large possibility of composing a biased committee. This research suggests systematic sampling as an alternative to drawing lots. A numerical analysis was conducted using a data of a university in which the indirect election was implemented recently. The drawing lots gave the biased nomination committee. On the other hand, the systematic sample improves the problem and confirms more the variety of all members.

To control the spread of COVID-19, it is important to identify the infection in its incipient stages so that the infected persons can be dealt with accordingly. The currently used face to face sampling method may increase the risk of infection for medical professionals as it exposes them to the asymptomatic yet infectious patients. This can result in further increases in the load on the medical system and workload of the medical staff. As a solution to this problem, in this paper, we present a robotic system for rapid non-face-to-face automatic nasopharyngeal swab sample collection. The system consists of a custom designed 7-DoF manipulator equipped with a specially developed safety mechanism for restricting the maximum force applied by the tip of the swab. During the swab sampling process, the force applied by the tip of the swab is continuously monitored in real-time by a 3-axis force sensor in order to detect contact with the nasopharynx. The possibility of using this system for automaticnasopharyngeal swab sample collection is proven through experimentation with a phantom model.

Background: Most developing countries have been unable to implement well-organized health care systems, especially comprehensive Pap smear screening-based programs. One of the reasons for this is regional differences in medical services, and a low-cost portable cervical screening system is necessary. To improve regional discrepancies in cervical screening systems, we investigated the usefulness and acceptability of cervical selfsampling by liquid-based cytology (LBC) for 290 volunteers in the Lao PDR. Materials and Methods: Following health education with comprehensive documents, cervical self-sampling kits by LBC were distributed in three provincial, district, and village areas to a total of 290 volunteers, who were asked to take cytology samples by themselves. Subsequently, the acceptability of self-sampling was evaluated using a questionnaire. Results: The documents were well understood in all three regions. Regarding the acceptability of self-sampling, the selections for subsequent screening were 62% self-sampling, 36% gynecologist-sampling, 1% either method, and 1% other methods. The acceptability rates were higher in the district and the village than in the province. For the relationship between acceptability and pregnancy, the self-sampling selection rate was higher in the pregnancy-experienced group (75%) than in the pregnancy-inexperienced group (60%). For the relationship between selection of self-sampling and experience of screening, the self-sampling selection rate was higher in the screening-inexperienced group (62%) than in the screening-experienced group (52%). Conclusions: Our data show that this new way forward, involving a combination of self-sampling and LBC, is highly acceptable regardless of age, educational background, and residence in rural areas in a developing country.

Ultrasonic Doppler systems for the purpose of estimating blood flow velocity, blood flow volume, and flow imaging are commonly used due to advantages of non-invasive and real time observation. Specially, the technical developments of color flow mapping (2-D Doppler) systems have made a relatively rapid progress. However, the 2-D Doppler systems have several problems, such as the range ambiguity, low signal to noise ratio, and slow frame rate. The slow frame rate problem is resolved by using the spatial average which is a method to acquire more data samples for mean frequency estimation. In this paper, spatial average method using the 2nd order sampling instead of quadrature sampling is proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed methods have good performance and easy application to the color flow mapping system.

In this paper, a new criterion f9r determining the sampling rate of digital conroller is proposed. This paper will introduce a method fur determining the appropriate sampling rate of digital controller which can be substituted with the given analog controller, using phase margin and gain cross over frequency, not rising time or bandwidth of the closed-loop system. This method also guarantees performance of the system. Without exact modeling functions of the plant, abstracting those functions, this paper can achieve stability and aimed performance of the system, and this paper proved it with proper modeling functions.

The work-related musculoskeletal disorders have constantly increased since it became an issue in 1996. In 2002, the Government established the risk factors analysis system in order to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. The proclamation by the Ministry of Labor defined eleven spheres of work associated with musculoskeletal disorders. As a result, business proprietors, who have workers engaged in tasks associated with musculoskeletal disorders, are required to conduct the risk factor analysis on a regular basis every three years. However, numerous issues have been raised while carrying out the risk factor analysis in various industries. One of the issues is that even though work sampling is an ideal method in risk factor analysis, most cases have selected extreme task postures, which is judged by an expert, due to limited time. This study will propose the desired direction of the risk factor analysis by comparing task assessment results between work sampling scenes and extreme task scenes.
