본 논문에서는 Pogo Pin의 신호 전달 특성을 Ansys사의 Full wave simulation tool(HFSS)를 사용하여 분석하였고, 측정을 위해서 필요한 interface(Guide PCB)의 특성은 2-port de-embedding 방법을 이용하여 제거하였다. Guide PCB의 특성이 제거된 Pogo Pin만의 시뮬레이션 결과와 circuit simulator인 Agilent사의 ADS를 사용하여 Guide PCB의 특성을 de-embedding한 결과를 비교 검증하였고, Pogo Pin의 시뮬레이션 결과와 PCB의 특성을 de-embedding한 결과가 0~8 GHz까지 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a rotation resistant robust logo embedding watermarking technique. Geometric manipulations make the detection process very complex and difficult. Watermark embedding in the normalized image directly suffers from smoothing effect due to the interpolation during the image normalization. This can be avoided by estimating the transform parameters using image normalization angle and moments, instead of embedding in the normalized image. Conventional rotation resistant schemes that use full frame transform. In this paper we adopt DCT and calculate masking using a spatio-frequency localization of the $8{\times}8$ block DCT coefficients. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust against rotation process.

Digital watermarking of multimedia data is a very active research area that has enjoyed a considerable amount of attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for embedding/detecting a fragile watermark in MPEG-4 compressed video domain (Simple and Advance Simple Profiles). The watermark bits are put directly into Huffman VLC-codespace of quantized DCT domain. The advantage of watermark embedding into the compressed domain is the significant savings for a real-time implementation as it does not require a full decoding operation. The watermark embedding does not change the video file size. The algorithm demonstrates high watermarking capacity, thereby providing reliable foolproof authentication. The results of experimental testing demonstrate that watermark embedding preserves the video quality. Watermark detection is performed without using the original video.

In this paper, we propose a new watermarking algorithm for copyright protection of video data. The proposed algorithm inserts a watermark directly on the MPEG-2 bitstream. Since more and more video data are stored and transmitted in a compressed form, it is desirable to insert a watermark on the compressed bit stream to avoid the expensive full-decoding and re-encoding process. Embedding a watermark in the compressed domain, we can also avoid the effect of the compression error which may erase the watermark.

Objectives : This study was performed to review the efficacy of national and international randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating evidence on thread embedding therapy for knee osteoarthritis. Methods : Online databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, NDSL, OASIS, CNKI) were searched for studies where thread embedding therapy was performed for Knee Osteoarthritis from their inception to July 2018. Two researchers independently performed the search. Only RCTs were selected. Eligible studies were selected first by the abstract and the title and then included after full-texts were read. Risk of bias of the included studies were evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool. Data were narratively summarized. Results : There were 334 studies retrieved from the databases, resulting in analysis of 3 RCTs. There was an average of 1.5 treatment visits over a 7 day period and evaluation tool used was efficacy rate, with traditional acupuncture being the most common control used in the trials. Statistically significant improvement by thread embedding therapy was reported. None of the included RCTs reported on adverse reactions. The risk of bias of the included studies was generally unclear. Conclusion : The review suggests that thread embedding therapy can be effective in knee osteoarthritis. But there was a lack of detailed information about the treatment procedures, and the risk of bias was unclear. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence for thread embedding therapy for knee osteoarthritis.

In this paper a reversible data hiding scheme based on histogram shifting of host image blocks is presented. This method attempts to use full available capacity for data embedding by dividing the image into non-overlapping blocks. Applying histogram shifting to each block requires that extra information to be saved as overhead data for each block. This extra information (overhead or bookkeeping information) is used in order to extract payload and recover the block to its original state. A method to eliminate the need for this extra information is also introduced. This method uses maximum gap that exists between histogram bins for finding the value of pixels that was used for embedding in sender side. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides higher embedding capacity than the original reversible data hiding based on histogram shifting method and its improved versions in the current literature while it maintains the quality of marked image at an acceptable level.

Objectives : This study is to evaluate the current situation of Japanese tourists for medical tour of Daejeon University hospital and to draw up a plan for better policies. Methods : 59 Japanese tourists visiting oriental medicines hospital of Daejeon University from January 2012 to September 2012, were analysed in the statistics. And 8 of them answer a questionnaire about reasons for selection of Daejeon University hospital, satisfaction for thread embedding therapy and side effects of thread embedding therapy. Results : A total of 59 foreigners visited oriental medicines hospital of Daejeon University for medical service, consisting of 54 females(92 %), the thirties to fifties 71 % by age. The 87.5 % of patients answered that the reason for choosing this hospital was the subsidization of the medical expenses, and 50 % for appropriate payment, 37.5 % for safety, 12.5 % for recommendation of the people who had good experience at this hospital. The 71% of patients selected thread-embedding therapy for treating wrinkles. The degree of satisfaction was evaluated as quite satisfaction of 87.5 %, full satisfaction of 12.5 % showing that a whole number of the patients treated with thread-embedding therapy showed relative satisfaction. This evaluation is, however, a short term survey which should lead to a further term study. For the evaluation of side effects of thread-embedding therapy, 75 % of patients answered as pain occurred during the therapy, 62.5 % as edema, 50 % as hypodermal bleeding. Conclusion : First of all, there should be more constructive promotion and support for medical tour of oriental medicines, ultimately leading to promoting better clusters of oriental medicines. Secondly, support in terms of a medical law should be established for medical disputes, and the best follow-up service should be considered.

본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 저작권 보호를 위한 회전(Rotation) 변환 공격에 견디는 강인한 로고 삽입 방법을 제안한다. 기하학적인 처리는 영상의 화질을 많이 훼손하지 않으면서 워터마크 탈지 과정을 매우 복잡하고 어렵게 한다. 정규화 된 영상 (Normalized Image)에 워터마크를 삽입하는 방법은 영상의 정규화 과정에서 보간에 의해 평탄화 (Smoothing effect) 현상이 발생하는 단점이 있다. 이것은 워터마크를 정규화 된 영상에 직접 삽입하는 대신, 영상 정규화를 변환 파라미터를 계산하는데 사용함으로써 해결할 수 있다. 회전 변환에 대응하기 위한 기존의 방법은 주로 전체 영상에 대해 DFT 변환을 수행한다. 그러나 이 방법은 전체 영상에 변환을 취함으로써 효과적인 마스킹 방법의 적용이 어려운 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 DCT를 채용하고 계수의 공간-주파수 특성을 이용한 마스킹 방법을 사용한다. 실험결과. 제안된 방법이 회진변환 공격에 강인한 특성을 보였다.
