터보 부호는 반복적인 복호 알고리즘을 사용함으로써 가산성 백색 가우시안 잡음(AWGN) 채널 환경에서 Shannon 한계에 가까운 성능을 보이는 오류정정 방식으로 제안되었으나, 반복 연산량에 따른 복호 지연과 인터리버에 따른 지연에 의해 실시간 처리의 어려움이라는 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서는 터보 부호의 성능을 저하시키지 않는 범위에서 적절한 초기 임계값 설정에 따라 불필요한 반복 복호 횟수를 줄일 수 있는 터보 복호기 구조를 제안한다. 적절한 초기 임계값 설정은 LLR(Log-Likelihood Ratio)값의 평균값과 분산, 복호기의 출력에 대한 BER에 근거하여 여러 번의 모의 실험을 통해서 최적의 값으로 결정된다. 제안한 방식은 초기 임계값을 적절히 선택하면 손실이 없는 범위 내에서 반복횟수를 감소시킴으로써 기존의 정해진 반복횟수로 인한 큰 복호 지연을 미연에 방지하고, 이에 따른 계산량 감소는 저전력의 효과도 가져온다. 성능 평가를 위해 BER = $10^{-6}$이내이고, 전송속도가 32kbps 이상인 IMT2000의 고속 데이터 전송 환경에서 모의 실험을 하였다. 실험 결과로 기존의 정해진 반복횟수를 갖는 터보 복호기에 비해 SNR 변동(0~3dB)에서 평균적으로 55~90% 정도의 감소된 반복횟수를 검증하였다.

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of quantitative analysis of the facial nerve using contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (CE 3D) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-volume isotopic turbo spin echo acquisition (FLAIR-VISTA) for the diagnosis of Bell's palsy in pediatric patients. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients (24 nerves) with unilateral acute facial nerve palsy underwent MRI from March 2014 through March 2015. The unaffected sides were included as a control group. First, for quantitative analysis, the signal intensity (SI) and relative SI (RSI) for canalicular, labyrinthine, geniculate ganglion, tympanic, and mastoid segments of the facial nerve on CE 3D FLAIR images were measured using regions of interest (ROI). Second, CE 3D FLAIR and CE T1-SE images were analyzed to compare their diagnostic performance by visual assessment (VA). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of RSI measurement and VA were compared. Results: The absolute SI of canalicular and mastoid segments and the sum of the five mean SI (total SI) were higher in the palsy group than in the control group, but with no significant differences. The RSI of the canalicular segment and the total SI were significantly correlated with the symptomatic side (P = 0.028 and 0.015). In 11/12 (91.6%) patients, the RSI of total SI resulted in accurate detection of the affected side. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for detecting Bell's palsy were higher with RSI measurement than with VA of CE 3D FLAIR images, while those with VA of CE T1-SE images were higher than those with VA of CE 3D FLAIR images. Conclusion: Quantitative analysis of the facial nerve using CE 3D FLAIR imaging can be useful for increasing the diagnostic performance in children with Bell's palsy when difficult to diagnose using VA alone. With regard to VA, the diagnostic performance of CE T1-SE imaging is superior to that of CE 3D FLAIR imaging in children. Further studies including larger populations are necessary.

The aim of this study was to investigate effects of the number of acquisitions (NEX) on signal-to-noise (SNR) and artifacts in SENSE parallel imaging of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 3.0T MR System, 8 Channel sensitivity encoding (SENSE) head coils were used along with an in-vivo phantom. Reference sequence of 3D fast field echo (FFE) was consisted of NEX values of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. The T2 turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence used for exams achieved SENSE factors of 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 3.0, 3.2, 3.5, 3.8 and 4.0. Exams were conducted five times for each SENSE factor to measure signal intensity of the object, the posterior phase-encode direction and frequency direction. And SNR was calculated using mean values. SENSE artifacts were identified as background signal intensity in the phase-encoded direction using MRIcro. It was found that SNR increased but SENSE artifacts reduced with NEX of 4, 8 and 12 when the NEX increased in reference scan. It is therefore concluded that image quality can be improved with NEX of 4, 8 and 12 for reference scanning.

Engine oil plays an important role in the mechanical lubrication and cooling of a vehicle engine. Recently, engine development has focused on the adoption of gasoline direct injection (GDI) and turbocharging methodology to achieve high-power and high-speed performance. However, oil dilution is a problem for GDI engines. Oil dilution occurs owing to high-pressure fuel injection into the combustion chamber when the engine is cold. The chemical components of engine oil are currently developed to accommodate gasoline fuel; however, bio-alcohol mixtures have become a recent trend in fuel development. Bio-alcohol fuels are alternatives to fossil fuels that can reduce vehicle emissions levels and greenhouse gas pollution. Therefore, the chemical components of engine oil should be improved to accommodate bio-alcohol fuels. This study employs a 2.0 L turbo-gas direct injection (T-GDI) engine in an experiment that dilutes oil with fuel. The experiment utilizes a variety of fuels, including sub-octane gasoline fuel (E0) and a bio-alcohol fuel mixture (Ethanol E3~E7). The results show that the lowest amount of oil dilution occurs when using E3 fuel. Analyzing the diluted engine oil by measuring density and moisture with respect to kinematic viscosity shows that the lowest values of these parameters occur when testing E3 fuel. The reason is confirmed to influence the vapor pressure of the low concentration bio-alcohol-fuel mixture.

The turbine performance test of an axial-type turbine is carried out with various axial gap distances between the stator and rotor. The turbine is operated at the low pressure and speed, and the degree of reaction is 0.373 at the mean radius. The axial-type turbine consists of ons-stage and 3-dimensional blades. The chord length of rotor is 28.2mm and mean diameter of turbine is 257.56mm. The power of turbo-blower for input power is 30kW and mass flow rate is $340m^3/min\;at\;290mmAq$ static-pressure. The RPM and output power are controlled by a dynamometer connected directly to the turbine shaft. The axial gap distances are changed from a quarter to two times of stator axial chord length, and performance curves are obtained with 7 different axial gaps. The efficiency is dropped about $5{\%}$ of its highest value due to the variation of axial gap on the same non-dimensional mass flow rate and RPM, and experimental results show that the optimum axial gap is 1.0-1.5Cx.

산업 현장에서 발생하는 소음은 작업자의 건강과 작업 효율에도 영향을 줄 뿐 아니라, 주변의 주거지역의 소음 민원의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 중소규모 공장에서 많이 사용되는 송풍기에서 발생하는 소음을 3차원 공간에서 능동소음제어기(ANC)를 이용하여 저감하는 기술 개발을 위한 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 ANC의 설정과 결과 데이터를 용이하게 파악할 수 있는 시뮬레이터 프로그램을 Labview를 이용하여 작성하여 음압레벨, 스펙트럼, 등가소음도 등의 데이터를 비교하였다. 소음 데이터는 현재 중소규모 공장에서 운전 중인 터보팬 송풍기에서 발생하는 소음을 기기 주변 17개의 위치에서 녹음하여 사용하였다. 모의실험 결과 17 지점 모두 500Hz 이하 저주파 대역에서 파워 스펙트럼이 최대 40dB 줄었으며 등가소음레벨이 평균 12.6dB 감쇄되는 결과를 보였다.

본 논문에서는 낮은 이득의 안테나를 갖는 해양 이동 단말을 위한 Ka 대역 해양 위성 통신 시스템 설계 즉, 물리계층 변조 및 부호화 방식 그리고 송신단 구조를 제안한다. Ka 대역을 활용하는 기존 DVB-S2 (digital video broadcasting - satellite - second generation) 서비스에 영향을 주지 않으면서, 같은 시간 같은 대역을 이용하여 저속의 위성 통신 서비스를 제공하기 위해서 광대역 확산 전송 방식을 사용하였다. 이런 초광대역 전송 방식은 간섭 영향뿐만 아니라, 이동형 해양 단말의 낮은 안테나 이득을 보상하는 역할도 한다. 그래서 변조 방식에 따라 36 dB 또는 39 dB의 확산 이득과 적응형 반복 전송을 통하여 Ka 대역의 경로 손실 및 강우 감쇄를 극복한다. 그리고 짧은 데이터 길이에도 성능 열화를 최소화하기 위하여 터보부호화 방식을 사용한다. 이를 통하여 DVB-S2 시스템에 영향을 주지 않으면서 동시에 저속의 데이터 통신을 수행할 수 있는 해양 위성 통신 시스템을 제안하다.

The position sensors used in a magnetic bearing system are desirable to provide some degree of fault-tolerance as the rotor position is necessary for the feedback control to overcome the open-loop instability. In this paper, we propose an inductive position sensor that can cope with a partial fault in the sensor. The sensor has multiple poles which can be combined to sense the in-plane motion of the rotor. When a high-frequency voltage signal drives each pole of the sensor, the resulting current in the sensor coil contains information regarding the rotor position. The signal processing circuit of the sensor extracts this position information. In this paper, we used the magnetic circuit model of the sensor that shows the analytical relationship between the sensor output and the rotor motion. The multi-polar structure of the sensor makes it possible to introduce redundancy which can be exploited for fault-tolerant operation. The proposed sensor is applied to a magnetically levitated turbo-molecular vacuum pump. Experimental results validate the fault-tolerance algorithm.
