다수의 입력을 필요로 하는 전류모드 Max 회로에서 고주파 왜곡을 효과적으로 억제할 수 있는 trans conductance 조정 방법을 제안하였다. Max 회로에 인가되는 입력 신호의 개수가 증가하면, 기생 커패시턴스는 입력 단의 개수에 비례하여 누적되게 된다. 본 연구에서는 Max 회로의 왜곡 신호의 크기가 누적된 기생 커패시턴스와 출력신호의 변화율에 비례하며, 공통 다이오드결선 트랜지스터의 transconductance 값에 반비례하게 됨을 밝혔다. 왜곡 억제를 위한 효과적인 방안으로 공통 다이오드결선 트랜지스터의 transconductance 값을 최소화하는 방안을 제시하였다. 이 방법의 효용성은 다양한 수의 입력 신호를 갖는 전류모드 Max 회로에 대해서 HSPICE 시뮬레이션을 통해 입증하였다.

본 논문에서는 직접변환 RF 송수신기를 채용하는 직교주파수분할다중화(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) 송수신기의 IQ 불균형과 수신기의 위상잡음, 그리고 주파수 선택적 페이딩에 의한 채널 왜곡을 종합적으로 분석하여 기저대역에서 이들 왜곡을 보상하는 보상기법을 제안한다. 제안된 보상기법은 훈련심벌을 이용하여 합성 왜곡성분을 추정하는 초기 왜곡추정과 데이터 심벌에 포함되는 파일럿 심벌을 이용한 잔여 왜곡성분 추정과정을 포함하고 있으며 이들을 종합하여 합성왜곡성분을 제거한다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 제안된 보상기법은 IQ 불균형, 위상잡음과 주파수 선택적 페이딩 채널이 혼합된 신호왜곡을 동시에 보상할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 웨이블릿 변환 특성을 기반으로 조명의 영향을 표현하는 표준 영상 왜곡 모델을 구축하여 조명 및 기타 영상의 왜곡에 강한 얼굴검출 기법을 제시한다. PC카메라 환경에서와 같이 입력 영상의 명암왜곡이 지속적으로 존재하는 응용에서는 히스토그램 평활화, 명세화와 같은 기존의 명암도 보정 방법으로는 효율적인 얼굴탐색이 어렵다. 따라서 입력 영상의 왜곡정보를 분석하고 이 정보가 입력 영상의 보정에 사용될 수 있다면 효율적인 얼굴검출이 수행될 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 입력 영상의 웨이블릿 변환으로 얻어진 각 고주파 영역의 픽셀을 조사하여 원 영상의 가로, 세로, 대각선 방향의 에지 정보를 분석함으로써 현재 입력된 영상의 명암 상태를 확인하고, 얼굴특징요소 중 눈을 기준으로 검출을 수행하여 아주 어둡거나 밝은 환경에서도 얼굴검출 성능을 높이도록 한다.

A quasi-constant on-time controlled buck front end in combined discontinuous conduction mode and boundary conduction mode is proposed to improve power factor (PF).When instantaneous AC input voltage is lower than the output bus voltage per period, the buck converter turns into buck-boost converter with the addition of a level comparator to compare input voltage and output voltage. The gate drive voltage is provided by an additional oscillator during distortion time to eliminate the cross-over distortion of the input current. This high PF comes from the avoidance of the input current distortion, thereby enabling energy to be delivered constantly. This paper presents a series analysis of controlling techniques and efficiency, PF, and total harmonic distortion. A comparison in terms of efficiency and PF between the proposed converter and a previous work is performed. The specifications of the converter include the following: input AC voltage is from 90V to 264V, output DC voltage is 80V, and output power is 94W.This converter can achieve PF of 98.74% and efficiency of 97.21% in 220V AC input voltage process.

This article investigated the effects of stainless steel plate-patterns bonded to aluminum frypan on the thermal distortion and surface temperature of the frypan during gas or induction heating. Two different stainless steel plate-patterns were employed: type A contains only circular holes and type B has not only circular holes but also vacant spaces of 0.5 mm thick and 40 mm long straight line crossing 60 mm long curved line. The bottom of the frypan was distorted during heating when type A stainless steel plate-bonded frypan while no significant thermal distortion was observed for type B stainless steel plate-bonded frypan during heating. Temperature of the frypan surface showed the same trend during gas heating, irrespective of stainless steel plate-patterns. During induction heating, however, the frypan with type B stainless steel plate-pattern showed lower surface temperature than the frypan with type A stainless steel plate-pattern. It is concluded that Type B stainless steel plate-pattern with circular holes and vacant spaces of lines is very effective for minimizing a thermal distortion and lowering the surface temperature of an aluminum frypan during induction heating.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the mediating effect of depression on the relationship between gambling severity and cognitive distortion in Koreans with a gambling disorder. Methods: Secondary data from a comprehensive assessment of problematic gambling between 2015 and 2017 on Korea Center on Gambling Problems were used. The subjects in this study were 254 Koreans with that gambling disorder. Data were collected with self-report structured questionnaires which included individual characteristics, the Korean version of Problem Gambling Severity Index, the Center for the Epidemiologic Studies Depression, and the Gambling Related Cognitions Scale. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA with the $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and a mediation analysis of the Baron and Kenny method with the SPSS 22.0 program. Results: Significant correlations emerged among the three variables, gambling severity, depression, and cognitive distortion. Depression exerted a partial mediating effect (${\beta}=.20$, p<.001) on the relationship between gambling severity and cognitive distortion (Sobel test: z=2.33, p=.012). Conclusion: Based on this study's findings, nursing intervention programs focused on managing gambling severity and decreasing depression are highly recommended to alleviate cognitive distortion in people with a gambling disorder.

The use of metric trial functions to represent the real stress field in what is called the unsymmetric finite element formulation is an effective way to improve predictions from distorted finite elements. This approach works surprisingly well because the use of parametric functions for the test functions satisfies the continuity conditions while the use of metric (Cartesian) shape functions for the trial functions attempts to ensure that the stress representation during finite element computation can retrieve in a best-fit manner, the actual variation of stress in the metric space. However, the issue of how to handle situations where there is locking along with mesh distortion has never been addressed. In this paper, we show that the use of a consistent definition of the constrained strain field in the metric space can ensure a lock-free solution even when there is mesh distortion. The three-noded Timoshenko beam element is used to illustrate the principles. Some significant conclusions are drawn regarding the optimal strategy for finite element modelling where distortion effects and field-consistency requirements have to be reconciled simultaneously.

In the content-based image search properties, form information is simple because only the contours of objects are available, and although it can effectively extract the characteristics of the objects, it is sensitive to external noise. The radial distortion, one of these noises, is most prominent in the eyewear and, due to the structural characteristics of the imaging equipment, radiative distortion occurs in almost all imaging equipment. It is very important to determine the similarity of the objects in the images in which these distortions occurred to the actual objects. In order to improve this problem, we propose a strong image search technique for formative noise and radiative distortion using regularization phase angles and moments. Through simulation using Wang DB, the proposed algorithm proved excellent performance for radiation distortion that occurs in general. In addition, a system optimized for database can be implemented by making appropriate changes to the threshold values, enabling image retrieval with the desired level of confidence in various systems. The algorithm proposed in this paper is expected to be utilized as an optimal imaging system by extracting morphological form information of multimedia data.

The purpose was to reduce the distortion of the image that occurs in the temporal bone area due to the very strong differences in susceptibility. A new SS-TSE technique was applied when examining the diffusion-weighted image of the temporal bone, where the auditory and facial nerves to be imaged were very thin and were adjacent to the cranial base including bone and air. This study was conducted from March 2020 to August of the same year, targeting 32 subjects who underwent the diffusion-weighted imaging of the temporal bone. To compare the distortion, existing SS-EPI technique and the new SS-TSE technique were both applied on the temporal bone area. As a result of the study, applying the new SS-TSE technique appeared to lower the distortion of images by 87.44, 46.13 and 42.35 % on the b-value 0, 800 and the ADC images, respectively. In conclusion, when using the new SS-TSE technique on the temporal bone DWI, distortion can be reduced, and thus images with high diagnostic value can be obtained.

기존 데이터 압축 방식에는 크게 resolution-constrained quantization (RCQ) 방식과entropy-constrained quantization (ECQ) 방식이 있다. RCQ 방식은 고정 비트율 전송을 가능하게 하지만 셀 크기의 변화에 따른 이상 신호왜곡이 발생하며, ECQ 방식은 셀 크기가 고정된 대신에 이상 비트율 할당 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 RCQ 방식의 대표적인 학습기법인 generalized Lloyd algorithm (GLA)을 개선한 cell-size constrained vector quantization (CCVQ) 방식을 제안한다. CCVQ 알고리즘은 셀 크기에 따라 유동적으로 패널티 척도를 주는 방식으로 기존의 RCQ와 ECQ 사이의 soft-decision을 가능하게 한다. 제안 알고리즘을 사용할 경우 기존의 GLA에 비해 약간의 평균왜곡 증가는 발생하나 이상 신호왜곡을 줄일 수 있다.
