The most common surgical repair method for fingertip injuries are replantation, flap coverage, and skin graft. In fingertip injury cases, acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is generally used in a two-stage operation. In the present case, only ADM was used in a 67-year-old male patient with a right fifth fingertip injury. The patient was undergoing chemotherapy after surgery for colon cancer, preventing prolonged hospitalization. In addition, wound healing was likely to be problematic. As a typical surgical method might have been difficult to apply in such a patient, we performed a one-stage operation, using only ADM on the injured area. Postoperative followup for 3 months showed good wound healing. Accordingly, we report a successful treatment outcome using ADM alone for a fingertip injury.

This paper describes the design and realization of an extra high frequency band $8{\times}8$ microstrip Butler matrix. Operation at 36 GHz is achieved with a frequency bandwidth exceeding 400 MHz. The circuit is implemented on a bi-layer microstrip structure using conventional manufacturing processes. This planar implementation of a Butler matrix is a key component of a switched beam smart antenna with printed antenna elements integrated on-board. Conception details, simulation results, and measurements are also given for the components (hybrid couplers, cross-couplers, and vertical inter-connections) used to implement the matrix.

In Shamir's (t,n)-threshold based secret image sharing schemes, there exists a problem that the secret image can be reconstructed when an arbitrary attacker becomes aware of t secret image pieces, or t participants are malicious collusion. It is because that utilizes linear combination polynomial arithmetic operation. In order to overcome the problem, we propose a secret image sharing scheme using matrix decomposition and adversary structure. In the proposed scheme, there is no reconstruction of the secret image even when an arbitrary attacker become aware of t secret image pieces. Also, we utilize a simple matrix decomposition operation in order to improve the security of the secret image. In experiments, we show that performances of embedding capacity and image distortion ratio of the proposed scheme are superior to previous schemes.

An improved method based on a normal frequency response function (FRF) is proposed to identify structural parameters such as mass, stiffness and damping matrices directly from the FRFs of a linear mechanical system. The method for estimating structural parameters directly from the measured FRFs of a structure is presented. This paper demonstrates that the characteristic matrices are extracted more accurately by using a weighted equation and eliminating the matrix inverse operation. The method is verified for a four degree-of-freedom lumped parameter system and an eight degree-of-freedom finite element beam. Experimental verification is also performed for a free-free steel beam whose size and physical properties are the same as those of the finite element beam. The results show that the structural parameters, especially the damping matrix, can be estimated more accurately by the proposed method.

In computer graphics since objects atre constructed by lines and curves, the high-speed curve generator is indispensible for computer aided design and simulatation. Since the functions of graphic generation can be represented as a series of matrix operations, in this paper, two kind of the high-speed Bezier curve generator that uses matrix equation and a recursive relation for Bezier polynomials are designed. And B-spline curve generator is designed using interdependence of B-spline blending functions. As the result of the comparison of designed curve generator and reference [5], [6] in the operation time and number of operators, the curve generator with 1-dimensional systolic array processor for matrix vector operation that uses matrix equation for Bezier curve is more effective.

Although the bucky paper (BP) made from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possesses beneficial characteristics of hydrophobic nature and high porosity for membrane distillation (MD) application, weak mechanical strength of BP has often prevented the stable operation. This study aims to fabricate the BP with high mechanical strength to improve its MD performance. The strategy was to increase the purity level of CNTs with an assumption that purer CNTs would increase the Van der Waals attraction, leading to the improvement of mechanical strength of BP. According to this study results, the purification of CNT does not necessarily enhance the mechanical strength of BP. The BP made from purer CNTs demonstrated a high flux ($142kg/m^2{\cdot}h$) even at low ${\Delta}T$ ($50^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$) during the experiments of direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). However, the operation was not stable because a crack quickly formed. Then, a support layer of AAO (anodic aluminum oxide) filter paper was introduced to reinforce the mechanical strength of BP. The support reinforcement was able to increase the mechanical strength, but wetting occurred. Therefore, the mixed matrix membrane (PSf-CNT) using CNTs as filler to polysulphone was fabricated. The DCMD operation with the PSf-CNT membrane was stable, although the flux was low ($6.1kg/m^2{\cdot}h$). This result suggests that the mixed matrix membrane could be more beneficial for the stable DCMD operation than the BP.

EMFG(Extended Mark Flow Graph)는 이산시스템을 표현하는데 유용한 그래프 도구로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 EMFG에서 각 트랜지션이 점화하였을 때의 입출력 박스의 마크 변화량을 입출력 행렬로 표현하였고, 이를 사용하여 EMFG의 접속행렬을 구하였다. 점화가능벡터를 구하기 위하여 각 트랜지션의 점화조건을 점화조건행렬로 표현하였으며, 각 트랜지션의 점화완료 상태를 판단하기 위하여 점화완료벡터를 도입하였다. 이들을 사용하여 EMFG의 모든 동작과정이 수학적으로 해석될 수 있도록 EMFG의 동작해석 알고리즘을 개선하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 정회전과 역회전을 반복하는 시스템에 적용하여 알고리즘이 올바르게 동작하는 것을 확인하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 다양한 이산 시스템을 분석하는데 유용하다.

Due to the development of computer network and mobile communications, the security in image data and other related source are very important as in saving or transferring the commercial documents, medical data, and every private picture. Nonetheless, the conventional encryption algorithms are usually focusing on the word message. These methods are too complicated or complex in the respect of image data because they have much more amounts of information to represent. In this sense, we proposed an efficient secret symmetric stream type encryption algorithm which is based on Boolean matrix operation and the characteristic of image data.

In this paper, we will present an array processor for implementation of digital neural networks. Back-propagation model can be formulated as a consecutive matrix-vector multiplication problem with some prespecified thresholding operation. This operation procedure is suited for the design of an array processor, because it can be recursively and repeatedly executed. Systolic array circuit architecture with Residue Number System is suggested to realize the efficient arithmetic circuit for matrix-vector multiplication and compute sigmoid function. The proposed design method would expect to adopt for the application field of neural networks, because it can be realized to currently developed VLSI technology.
