Although the individual channel readout method can improve the performance of PET detectors with pixelated photo-sensors, such as silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), this method leads to a significant increase in the number of readout channels. In this study, we proposed a novel multiplexing method that could effectively reduce the number of readout channels to reduce system complexity and development cost. The proposed multiplexing circuit was designed to generate bipolar pulses with different zero-crossing points by adjusting the time constant of the high-pass filter connected to each channel of a pixelated photo-sensor. The channel position of the detected gamma-ray was identified by estimating the width between the rising edge and the zero-crossing point of the bipolar pulse. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed multiplexing circuit, four detector blocks, each consisting of a 4 × 4 array of 3 mm × 3 mm × 20 mm LYSO and a 4 × 4 SiPM array, were constructed. The average energy resolution was 13.2 ± 1.1% for all 64 crystal pixels and each pixel position was accurately identified. A coincidence timing resolution was 580 ± 12 ps. The experimental results indicated that the novel multiplexing method proposed in this study is able to effectively reduce the number of readout channels while maintaining accurate position identification with good energy and timing performance. In addition, it could be useful for the development of PET systems consisting of a large number of pixelated detectors.

A direct digital control technique of a current source using the phase-controlled rectifier is presented. A digital firing technique without sensing the line voltage is proposed. This scheme generates firing pulses directly from error signal between command and output voltage. Thus the phase detection transformers filters and zero-crossing detector are unnecessary. The synchronism is modeled and analized. Also a software synchronization algorithm is presented without a look up table and controls the system in real time with fast dynamic characteristics. Using the single-chip microprocessor 8097BH, the direct digital control is implemented with minimal hardware structure. Using the time-weighted performance index, the optimal discrete IPM control technique is also proposed to control the current of the PCR.

Pulsed ultrasonic Doppler system is a useful diagnostic instrument to measure blood-flow-velocity, velocity profile, and volume-blood-flow. This system is more powerful compare with 2-dimensional B-scan tissue image. A system has been deve- loped and ii being evaluated using TMS 32010 DSP. We use this DSP for the purpose of real-time spectrum analyzer to obtain spectrogram in singlegate pulsed Doppler system and for the serial comb filter to cancel clutter and zero crossing counter to estimate Doppler mean frequency in multigate pulsed Doppler system. The Doppler shift of the backscattered signals is sensed in a phase detector. This Doppler signal corresponds to the mean velocity over a some region in space defined by the ultrasonic beam dimensions, transmitted pulse duration, and transducer ban(iwidth. Multi- gate pulsed Doppler system enable the transcutaneous and simultaneous assessment of the velocities in a number of adjacent sample volumes as a continuous function of time. A multigate pulsed Doppler system processing the information originating from presented.

EPD(End Point Detection) is used to decide etching degree of layer which must be removed at wafer etching process in plasma etching process which is one of the most important process in semiconductor manufacturing. In this thesis, the method which detects malfunction of etching process in real-time will be discussed. Several EPD signal traces are collected in normal plasma etching condition and used as reference EPD signal traces. Critical points can be detected by applying differentiation and zero-crossing techniques to reference EPD signal. Mean and standard deviation of critical parameters which is memorized from reference EPD signal are calculated and these determine the lower and higher limit of control chart. And by applying statical control chart to EPD signals which are collected in real etching process malfunctions of process are detected in real-time. By means of applying this method to the real etching process we prove our method can accurately detect the malfunction of etching process and can compensate disadvantage of current industrial method.

In this paper, in order to obtain statistical informations on lightning electromagnetic waveforms, electric field waveforms produced by lightning return strokes were measured and analyzed. The electric field measuring system consists of hemisphere antenna 30[cm] in diameter, integrator and data acquisition. system. The frequency bandwidth of the measuring system is 200[Hz] to 1.56[MHz], and the sensitivity is 0.96[mV/V/m]. The mean value of front time of electric field waveforms produced by positive lightning return strokes is 5.87[${\mu}s$], and that of negative is 4.12[${\mu}s$]. The mean values of zero-crossing time for positive or negative electric field waveforms are 35.00 and 26.61[${\mu}s$], respectively. The mean value of percentage dip-depth for positive electric field waveforms is 33.68[%], and that for negative is 28.36[%].

In this paper, we attempted to analyze the contraction patterns of elbow flexor muscle during isometric, concentric and eccentric contraction. The analysis parameters are consisted of Sequency domain parameters (mean frequency, median frequency, skewness, kurtosis) and time domain parameters (zero crossing, positive maxima, integrated EMG). As a results, the analysis parameters have specific trends for muscles, muscle contraction patterns, muscle contraction angles. Especially, at the time domain analysis, IEMG is a dominant parameter for analysis of activation patterns, and the skewness, kurtosis are useful parameters for functional recognition.

음성 인식 연구에서 잡음이 있는 상태에서 음성 발음상의 시작점과 종단점을 찾는 것은 매우 중요하다. 기존 음성인식 시스템의 오차는 대부분 참고템플릿의 시작점과 종단점을 왜란이나 잡음으로 인해 자동적으로 찾지 못했을 경우 발생한다. 따라서 음성 신호상에서 필요 없는 부분을 제거할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 기존의 음성 종단점을 찾는 방법으로는 시간도메인 측정방법, 미세시간 에너지 분석, 영교차율 방법이 있다. 위의 방법들은 저주파 신호 노이즈의 영향에 정밀성을 보장을 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시간영역상에서 리야프노프 지수를 이용한 종단점 인식 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 기존의 방법들과의 비교를 통해 제안한 방법의 성능 우수성을 보였으며, 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 잡음환경에서도 음성종단 인식이 가능함을 보였다.

A novel topology generation method for the no dead-time three-phase AC/DC converter is proposed in this study. With this method, a series of no dead time topologies are generated and their operation principles are analyzed. The classic three-phase bridge AC/DC converter can realize a bidirectional operation. However, dead-time should be inserted in the driving signals to avoid the shoot-through problem, which would cause additional harmonics. Compared with the bridge topology, the proposed topologies lack the shoot-through problem. Thus, dead time can be avoided. All of the no dead time three-phase AC/DC converters can realize bidirectional operation. The operating principles of the converters are analyzed in detail, and the corresponding control strategies are discussed. Comparisons of waveform distortion and efficiency among the converters are provided. Finally, 9 KW DSP-based principle prototypes are established and tested. Simulation and experimental results verify the theoretical analysis.

연결 정보가 없는 포인트 데이타가 주어졌을 때, 본 논문은 MLS(moving least-squares) 근사화 기법을 이용하여 포인트 데이타에 대해 근사화된 표면을 생성한다. 근사화된 표면에서의 각 포인트에 대해 지역적인 곡률과 곡률 미분 값을 측정 한 후, 딜러니 삼각화(Delaunay tessellation)를 통해 이웃간의 정보를 생성하게 되고, 연결된 포인트들 간의 제로-클로싱(zero-crossing)을 측정하여 특징 포인트들을 추출하고, 곡률 방향으로 추출 된 포인트들을 연결한다. 본 방법은 기존의 메쉬 데이타에서 특징 선을 찾는 방법과 비슷한 복잡도를 갖는다. 몇 개의 포인트-샘플 된 모델에 대해 특징 선 추출을 수행하며, 곡률의 크기에 따라 특징선의 두께를 조절하고 포인트-스플릿팅 방법에 의해 렌더링 한다.
