The spot-type heat detector is a main component of the automatic fire alarm system intended to signal when heat energy is produced in protected area. The most of protected area in our country is installed spot-type heat detector. On this study, the responsiveness to the change of environmental temp. of spot-type heat detec-tor were obtained and analyzed under specified temp., velocity in accordance with the KOFEIS stan-dard. The experiment was carried under the condition with the change of environmental temp. Concluion of this study is as follows : 1. It was confirmed that the responsiveness of rate-of rise heat detector is sensitive to temp. below 10 degrees above zero. The malfunction appeared at 40 degrees above zero and intended performance is disqualified at 50 degrees above zero. 2. The intended performance of fixed-temp. detector which is maintained for the change of envi-ronmental temp. But the responsiveneness is confirmed instability for the change of environmental temp.

In this paper, a real-time pitch detector LPC vocoder as implemented on a high speed digital signal processor, NEC 7720, is described. The pitch detector was based mainly on the SIFT algorithm. The SIFT pitch detector consists primarily of a digital low pass filter, inverse filter, computation of autocorrelation, a peak picker, interpolation, V/UV defcision and a final pitch smoother. In our approach, modification, mainly on the V/UV decision and a final pitch smoother, was made to estimate more accurate pitches. An 16-bit fixed-point aithmatic was employed for all necessary computation and the simulated results were compared with the eye detected pitches obtained from real speech data. The pitch detector occupies 98.8% of the instruction ROM, 37% of the data ROM, and 94% of internal RAM and takes 15.2ms to estimate a pitch when an analysis frame is consisted of 128 sampled speech data. It is observed that the tested results were well agreed with the computer simulation results.

In this study, we have performed some experimental works on the effects of variation of low, middle and high turbidity for understanding of optical characteristics which is very important factor for the turbidity measurement. The various output frequencies were obtained by the experimental apparatus which consist of detectors, a light source, a frequency counter and so on. From the result of analysis of these frequencies, Firstly, The difference of signal value for each degrees of low turbidity was the smallest of three scopes around the Nephelometric position. Second, the characteristics of each degrees of middle turbidity was proved that signal values of all degrees were larger those of low turbidity but the difference of each signal value of the forward direction was smaller than that of the backward direction. Third, the characteristics of each degrees of high turbidity was proved that though similar to the characteristics of middle turbidity, each signal value of all degrees was larger and the difference of each signal value of all degrees was smaller than those of low and middle turbidity

A prototype electronic dosimeter(PED) adopting a silicon PIN diode detector as a radiation detector has been developed, manufactured and test-evaluated. A radiation signal processing circuit has been electronically tested and then the radiation detection characteristics of this PED has been performance-tested by using a reference photon radiation field. As a result in a electronic performance test, radiation signals from a detector were well observed in the signal processing circuit. The radiation detection sensitivity of this PED after several test-irradiations to $^{137}Cs$ gamma radiation source appeared to be 1.85 cps/$Gy{\cdot}h^{-1}$ with 19.3% of the coefficient of variation, which satisfied the performance criteria for the active personnel radiation monitor. Further improvement of the electronic circuit and operating program will enable the PED to be used in personal monitoring purpose.

As a result of the study, the multi functional base circuit has met the acceptance criteria of related national standards. Also, the security system of input signal can contribute to the smallest loss of lives and the property.

Since the 9·11 terror attack in 2001, the Maritime Logistics Security System has been strengthened and required X-ray image for every imported cargos from manufacturing countries to United States. For scanning cargos, the container inspection systems use high energy X-rays for examination of contents of a container to check the nuclear, explosive, dangerous and illegal materials. Nowadays, the X-ray cargo scanners are established and used by global technologies for inspection of suspected cargos in the customs agency but these technologies have not been localized and developed sufficiently. In this paper, we propose the X-ray array detector system which is a core component of the container scanning system. For implementation of X-ray array detector, the analog and digital signal processing units are fabricated with integrated hardware, FPGA logics and GUI software for real-time X-ray images. The implemented system is superior in terms of resolution and power consumption compared to the existing products currently used in ports.

Multiple input multiple output architectures, known to provide high spectral efficiencies, can provide the best performance in terms of the block error rate when a maximum likelihood (ML) detector is employed. The complexity of the ML detector, however, increases exponentially with the numbers of transmit antennas and signals in the constellation. The zero forcing (ZF) detector has been suggested as a reduced-complexity detection method at the cost of performance degradation. In order to improve the performance of the ZF detector while reducing the complexity of the ML detector, we propose a novel multistage decision method. Numerical results show that, despite the proposed detector has a lower complexity than the ML detector, the performance difference between the ML and proposed detectors is negligibly small at high SNR.

Electronic warfare systems for extracting information of the threat signals can be employed under the circumstance where the power of the received signal is weak. To precisely and rapidly detect the threat signals, it is required to use methods exploiting whole energy of the received signals instead of conventional methods using a single received signal input. To utilize the whole energy, numerous sizes of windows need to be implemented in a detector for dealing with all possible unknown length of the received signal because it is assumed that there is no preliminary information of the uncooperative signals. However, this grid search method requires too large computational complexity to be practically implemented. In order to resolve this complexity problem, an approach that reduces the number of windows by selecting the smaller number of representative windows can be considered. However, each representative window in this approach needs to cover a certain amount of interval divided from the considering range. Consequently, the discordance between the length of the received signal and the window sizes results in degradation of the detection performance. Therefore, we propose the weighted energy detector which results in improved detection performance comparing with the conventional energy detector under circumstance where the window size is smaller than the length of the received signal. In addition, it is shown that the proposed method exhibits the same performance under other circumstances.

We have designed X-ray detection system and multi-channel data acquisition system for Spiral CT application. X-ray detection system consists of scintillator and photodiode. Scintillator converts X-ray into visible light. Photodiode converts visible light into electrical signal. The multi-channel data acquisition system consists of analog, digital, master and backplane board. Analog board detects electrical signal and amplifies signal by 140dB. Digital board consists of MUX(Multiplex) which routes multi-channel analog signal to preamplifier, and ADC(Analog to Digital Converter) which converts analog signal into digital signal. Master board supplies the synchronized clock and transmits the digital data to image reconstructor. Backplane provides electrical power, analog output and clock signal. The system converts the projected X-ray signal over the detector array with large gain, samples the data in each channel sequentially, and the sampled data are transmitted to host computer in a given time frame. To meet the timing limitation, this system is very flexible since it is implemented by FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). This system must have a high-speed operation with low noise and high SNR(signal to noise ratio), wide dynamic range to get a high resolution image.
