We demonstrate that high-resolution (~60 nm) near-field fluorescence images of fluorescent nanospheres can be obtained by utilizing the tip-induced fluorescence quenching process. A time-stamped photon counting (TSPC) technique employed enables us to efficiently measure the degree of fluorescence quenching caused by the dielectric or metallic atomic force microscopy tip. We find that the degree of quenching is not only determined by the tip-material but also by the local morphology of the tip. The fringe patterns around individual nanospheres observed are explained in terms of the interference between the excitation field that is directly induced by the laser source, and the scattered excitation field from the tip.

For the preparation of short ceramic fibers of which average length might be in accordance with the opening size of sieve, e.g., 150${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ or 300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, bulk fibers were grounded on sieve screen by applying both compressing and shearing force, and passed through the sieve screen. The grounded fibers were subjected to gravitational settling processes. The classified fibers were observed by scanning electron microscopy and the length of each fiber was measured to correlate the average length with the opening size of the sieve used for grinding bulk fibers. Theoretical analysis show that a free settling technique is ineffective for the classification of fibers by length compared with that of particles. The average lengths of classified fibers estimated by scanning electron microscopy were in good agreement with those obtained by relative packing volume of the fibers. Accordingly, it is confirmed that average fiber lengths can be determined from bulk volume data without photographing, counting and averaging results for hundreds of fibers.

This paper presents a digitally-controlled filter calibration technique for biquad RC filter using self oscillation. The biquad RC filter is converted to a fully-differential ring oscillator by changing its resistor connections, where the oscillation frequency reflects the cut-off frequency. The proposed calibration circuit measures the oscillation frequency by counting with a fixed higher-frequency clock and then tunes it to a desired frequency with a digital frequency-locked loop including a PI controller. Because the proposed circuit directly measures the cut-off frequency of the filter itself and calibrates it with the small area digital circuits, the area and the power consumption are much small compared with conventional works. When it is implemented in a 65nm CMOS process, the calibration circuit except the filter consumes the area of 80um X 50um and power consumption is 443uA at 1.2 V supply voltage.

This paper concerns informative censoring and some of the difficulties it creates in analysis of survival data. For analyzing censored data, misclassification of informative censoring into random censoring is often unavoidable. It is worthwhile to investigate the impact of neglecting informative censoring on the estimation of the parameters of the proportional hazards model. The proposed model includes a primary failure which can be censored informatively or randomly and a followup failure which may be censored randomly. Simulation shows that the loss is about 30% with regard to the confidence interval if we neglect the informative censoring.

This paper considers the ability of counting and positioning multi-targets by using a mobile UWB radar device. After a background subtraction process, distinguishing between clutters and human body signals, the position of targets will be computed using weighted Gaussian mixture methods. While computer vision offers many advantages, it has limited performance in poor visibility conditions (e.g., at night, haze, fog or smoke). UWB radar can provide a complementary technology for detecting and tracking humans, particularly in poor visibility or through-wall conditions. As we know, for 2D measurement, one method is the use of at least two receiver antennas. Another method is the use of one mobile radar receiver. This paper tried to investigate the position detection of the stationary human body using the movement of one UWB radar module.

We, in this paper, propose a kernel estimator of hazard ratio with censored survival data. The uniform consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator are proved by using counting process approach. In order to assess the performance of the proposed estimator, we compare the kernel estimator with Cox estimator and the generalized rank estimators of hazard ratio in terms of MSE by Monte Carlo simulation. Two examples are illustrated for our results.

자발적매개하향변환과정에서 발생되는 광자쌍을 동시계수하여 광전자증배관의 양자효율을 측정하였다. 표준광원이나 표준광원이나 표준복사계를 필요로하지 않는 이 방법으로 560nm에서 850nm 까지의 파장영역에 대하여 3%의 오차로 양자효율을 측정하였으며, 633 nm에서의 측정치는 교정된 레이저출력계와의 비교에 의하여 얻어진 값과 측정오차 내에서 일치하였다.

지능형 교통 시스템(intelligent traffic system)의 필요성은 컴퓨터비전기술의 발전에 따라 성장해오고 있다. 지능형 교통 시스템의 바람직한 방법들 중 하나는 비전처리를 통하여 자동차의 수를 계수하는 것이다. 차량이 포함된 도로 이미지들은 디지털 카메라에 의하여 촬영된다. 우선적으로 이미지에서 도로의 중앙선 오른쪽부분은 제외한다. 단순히 개개의 차량을 분리해 나는 것은 겹치는 문제, 그림자, 조명과 같은 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 차량계수를 목적으로 이미지를 세밀히 조사하다가 보니 낮에는 차량의 앞 범퍼 끝의 그림자로 밤에는 헤드라이트 불빛으로 차량을 식별할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 논문에서는 그림자분석을 통한 차량계수를 다루었다. 이 특징을 사용하여 차량을 계수하여 만족할만한 정확성을 성취하는 것이 이 논문의 목표이다.

This study presents the comparative filtration performance evaluation of automotive fuel filters based on the theory of Beta ratio. For the experiments, the fuel component's test stand incorporating the multi-pass filtration test circuit was developed. A mathematical description of filtration process in general was derived. And the theoretical basis of multi-pass test and the test procedure were described in detail. Experimental results revealed that domestic fuel filter tested could not maintain consistent Beta ratio, that is filtration efficiency, although it had the holding capacity of contaminants close to the specification at maximum pressure drop across the filter assembly. The results of experiments and simulations also showed that filtration system model could be refined including desorption ratio to estimate the variable Beta ratio in service life.
