A computer vision system was built to automatically grade the leaf tobacco. A color image processing algorithm was developed to extract shape, color and texture features. An improved back propagation algorithm in an artificial neural network was applied to grade the Burley type dried leaf tobacco. The success rate of grading in three-grade classification(1, 3, 5) was higher than the rate of grading in six-grade classification(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, off), on the average success rate of both the twenty-five local pixel-set and the sixteen local pixel-set. And, the average grading success rate using both shape and color features was higher than the rate using shape, color and texture features. Thus, the texture feature obtained by the spatial gray level dependence method was found not to be important in grading leaf tobacco. Grading according to the shape, color and texture features obtained by machine vision system seemed to be inadequate for replacing manual grading of Burely type dried leaf tobacco.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11 WLAN(Wireless LAN)에서 기본 액세스 방식인 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function)의 성능을 높이기 위하여 개선된 알고리즘을 제안한다. CDMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance)기반인 DCF는 스테이션의 적은 상황에서는 비교적 우수한 성능을 나타내지만 스테이션이 많은 혼잡상황에서는 처리율, 지연율, 충돌률 관점에서 성능이 큰 폭으로 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 패킷 전송 후 충돌이 발생하면 CW(Contention Window)를 4배 증가 시켜주고 패킷의 전송이 성공 시에는 CW를 서서히 줄여주어 연쇄적인 충돌과 잠재적인 충돌을 미연에 방지함으로써 패킷 충돌의 확률을 낮추어 주는 알고리즘을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 성능을 입증한다.

A 2-year-old intact female dachshund dog was presented with recurrent subcutaneous nodules and fistulations on the neck, back and hip. The patient was diagnosed as a sterile nodular panniculitis based on the cytology, histopathology, and cultures for bacteria and fungus. The fistulas were surgically removed and methylprednisolone was administrated 2 mg/kg twice daily per oral. The lesions were all disappeared, but the relapses were happened when the dosage of the drug was tapered off. The repeated treatments with methylprednisolone or azathioprine were performed, consequently, the patient was controlled with relatively low-dosage methylprednisolone (0.25 mg/kg, every third day).

The effect of secondary flow on both methane/air and propane/air premixed flame was investigated experimentally. By changing the radius of curvature, various flame behavior was observed. In the V-bend nozzles, flame surface is deformed from axisymmetry. As the exit velocity increased, flame lifted off partially. When the radius of curvature of the V-bend increased, the region where premixed flame is entirely on the rim increased. Since the axial velocity field is changed due to the secondary flow effect, comparison of V-bend and straight tube with the same diameter shows larger V-bend nozzle exit velocity for both flash back and flame blowout. The flame characteristics are mapped with a equivalence ratio, a velocity, and a nozzle radius of curvature. To identify physical reasoning on the flame surface deformation, numerical calculations are conducted. OH radical distributions in flames are visualized by PLIF technique.

In this paper we introduce a bandwidth allocation algorithm and admission control policy for IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access standard. The proposed mechanism is practical and compatible to the IEEE 802.16. Our scheme provides QoS support to high priority traffic and high throughput in low priority traffic. The simulation show that the proposed scheme includes QoS support for real-time traffic and we presented that BS determine a efficient contention mini-slot size. We have shown the relationship between traffic size and its QoS requirements and the network performance.

IEEE 802.11a Distributed Coordination Function(DCF) Protocol을 사용하여 Real-Time MultiMedia Data의 전송을 수행할 경우, DCF Protocol의 적합하지 못한 Mechanism에 의하여, Data 전송의 극대화를 이루지 못한다. Retransmission이 반복되는 경우, Binary Slotted Exponential Backoff Mechanism은 거대한 Packet Delay와 Jitter의 원인이 되며 Automatic Repeat Request(ARQ) 방식의 Ack Mechanism은 MultiMedia Data를 전송하기에 적합하지 못하다. 본 논문은 위와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 Real-Time MultiMedia Data을 주로 전송하는 STA에 따른 Real-Time/Non-Real-Time(RT/NRT) Station(STA)의 구분과 보내고자 하는 Real-Time MultiMedia Data의 Network Traffic Load(The Required Bandwidth)를 고려하여, Modified DCF(mDCF) Protocol의 Modified Backoff(mBackOff), Modified BlockAck(mBlockAck) Mechanism을 제시함으로서, Data 전송의 극대화를 제공하며, 또한 IEEE 802.11a와의 호환성을 제공한다.

Automatic repeated recalling from individual computing equipments such as PC and workstations, to access ATM networks may result in call overload to networks. Call overload causes to waste network resources and fail to meet user call processing QoS requirements. We evaluate two call connection request methods: the back-off recall method(BRM) which makes recall with random waiting time after rejection, and the direct recall method(DRM) which repeats call connection request whenever call request is rejected. We evaluate their performances by simulation and it shows that as the total number of attached terminals to each access node increases, BRM performs better than DRM in terms of the call acceptance level and effective network bandwidth utilization.

In this paper, a new control scheme of Class-E inverter for reducing the crest factor of electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps using Pulse-Frequency-Modulation (PFM) is Introduced The lifetime of the lamps is guaranteed by decreasing the lamp crest factor and also voltage stress of the switch is significantly decreased by a new scheme although conventional Class-E Inverter is used In this paper. The proposed PFM control scheme didn't use any auxiliary circuit. The proposed control strategy is executed by feeding back the Input voltage, and the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) is ensured by maintaining constant turn-off time of the switch Therefore, the control principles of proposed method are explained in detail and its validity is verified through several simulations and experimental results.

Implementation and experimental verification of a simple neuro-controller (SNC) as a speed controller for a brush less DC (BLDC) motor is presented. The SNC with one weight and a linear hard limit activation function is trained on-line using the back propagation algorithm. A modified error function is used to ensure good performance during the on-line training, which has been used without previous off-line training. The SNC has been implemented using a computer-interface card mounted on a PC. The driving system performance has been investigated by a number of experimental tests for a variety of input reference speed trajectories.

In this paper, we present a consistent and efficient edit propagation method that is applied for light field data. Unlike conventional sparse edit propagation, the coherency between light field sub-aperture images is fully considered by utilizing light field consistency in the optimization framework. Instead of directly solving the optimization function on all light field sub-aperture images, the proposed optimization framework performs sparse edit propagation in the extended focus image domain. The extended focus image is the representative image that contains implicit depth information and the well-focused region of all sub-aperture images. The edit results in the extended focus image are then propagated back to each light field sub-aperture image. Experimental results on test images captured by a Lytro off-the-shelf light field camera confirm that the proposed method provides robust and consistent results of edited light field sub-aperture images.
