A new method for the artificial beta cell which can be used to control the hyperglycemia in diabetic patients was represented. The relationship between the insulin infusion rate and the blood glucose concentration was described by the second order ARMA model, and the time varying parameters were identified by exponentially weighted least squares estimator. The design of controller was based on the pole assignment self tuning altorithm with discrete blood sampling and the constraints of input and output responsse rate were considered. The results of animal experiments show that this method may be a fruitful approach for regulating the blood glucose level. We expect that this device can be used as both therapeutic and research tools providing that its stability and reliability are improved a little more.

회귀함수의 비모수적 적합에서 공변량의 차원이 증가함에 따라 추정량의 극한성질이 좋지 않음이 잘 알려져 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 방법중의 하나는 단일지표모형의 추정을 이용하여 공변량의 차원을 1차원으로 줄이는 것이다. 단일지표모형에서 계수 추정 방법으로는 반복적으로 해를 계산하여 근사치를 구하는 방법인 준모수적 최소제곱법과 비반복적으로 계산하여 구하는 도함수 가중평균법이 있다. 두 추정 방법 모두 모수적인 방법과 같은 수렴비율로 정규근사한다고 알려져 있지만 실질적인 성능에 관한 비교는 이루어지지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 모의실험을 통해 두 방법에 의한 추정치의 분산을 비교하여 어떠한 방법이 좋은지를 파악하고자 한다.

After the removal of SA (Selective Availability), horizontal accuracy of 25m(2dRMS) is easily obtained using GPS (Global Positioning System). In this paper, the error characteristics without SA are analyzed and a navigation algorithm concerns this error characteristics is proposed to further improve the accuracy. The proposed method utilizes the relationship between elevation angle and errors that are remained after ionospheric and troposheric delay compensation. The relationship is derived from real measurements and used as a weighting matrix of weighted least squares estimator. Furthermore, a RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) technique is included to remove abnormal measurements affected by multi-path or low SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio). It is shown that using the proposed method, more than 4 times accurate result, which is comparable with DGPS (Differential GPS), can be obtained from experiments with real data. Besides accuracy and reliability, the proposed method reduces large jumps in position and maintains better performance than a method using mask angle to completely remove satellites below this mask angle. Thus it is expected that the proposed method can be efficiently applied to land navigation where some satellites are blocked by building or forest.

Purpose: The management of metal-induced field inhomogeneities is one of the major concerns of distortion-free magnetic resonance images near metallic implants. The recently proposed method called "Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction (SEMAC)" is an effective spin echo pulse sequence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) near metallic implants. However, as SEMAC uses the noisy resolved data elements, SEMAC images can have a major problem for improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) without compromising the correction of metal artifacts. To address that issue, this paper presents a novel reconstruction technique for providing an improvement of the SNR in SEMAC images without sacrificing the correction of metal artifacts. Materials and Methods: Low-rank approximation in each coil image is first performed to suppress the noise in the slice direction, because the signal is highly correlated between SEMAC-encoded slices. Secondly, SEMAC images are reconstructed by the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE), also known as Gauss-Markov or weighted least squares. Noise levels and correlation in the receiver channels are considered for the sake of SNR optimization. To this end, since distorted excitation profiles are sparse, $l_1$ minimization performs well in recovering the sparse distorted excitation profiles and the sparse modeling of our approach offers excellent correction of metal-induced distortions. Results: Three images reconstructed using SEMAC, SEMAC with the conventional two-step noise reduction, and the proposed image denoising for metal MRI exploiting sparsity and low rank approximation algorithm were compared. The proposed algorithm outperformed two methods and produced 119% SNR better than SEMAC and 89% SNR better than SEMAC with the conventional two-step noise reduction. Conclusion: We successfully demonstrated that the proposed, novel algorithm for SEMAC, if compared with conventional de-noising methods, substantially improves SNR and reduces artifacts.
