Image segmentation is the task which partitions the image into meaningful regions and considered to be one of the most important steps in computer vision and image processing. Image segmentation is also widely used in object-based video compression such as MPEG-4 to extract out the object regions from the given frame. Watershed algorithm is frequently used to obtain the more accurate region boundaries. But, it is well known that the watershed algorithm is extremely sensitive to gradient noise and usually results in oversegmentation. To solve such a problem, we propose an image segmentation method which is robust to noise by using stabilized inverse diffusion equation (SIDE) and is more efficient in segmentation by employing multiresolution approach. In this paper, we apply both the region projection method using labels of adjacent regions and the region merging method based on region adjacency graph (RAG). Experimental results on noisy image show that the oversegmenation is reduced and segmentation efficiency is increased.

Microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO varistors as a function of sintering temperature and times were investigated. Sintering temperature and times greatly affected electrical properties and Bi-rich liquid phase of the microstructure. The varistor which were sintered at $1125^{\circ}C\sim1150^{\circ}C$, for 2 hr exhibited the varistor voltage$(V_c)$, nonlinear coefficient $(V_{10mA}/V_{1mA})$, leakage current$(I_L)$ dielectric constant and dissipation factor as $225\sim250V/mm,\;0.89\sim0.92,\;0.8\sim1.1{\mu}A,\;720\sim740\;and\;1.8\sim2.0%$, respectively.

Automatic Train Stop (ATS) is a device that automatically stops or decelerates a train when the train exceeds the permitted speed limits or violates the signal regulations. The railway signaling system has been evolved to an automatic train control system (ATC), and is being developed into Distance-to-Go and Communication Based on Train Control (CBTC). In spite of that, the ATS system is currently being operated in Seoul Metro (line 1 and 2) and most of railway lines in Korea as well as overseas. In this study, we presents the technical methodology to prevent human errors in order to secure the safety in operation of the ATS system.

ZnO 바리스터의 소결조건에 따른 바리스터 특성과 유전특성을 조사하였다. 소결조건에서 소결시간 및 시간에 따라 바리스터 전압의 변화를 볼 수 있었으며 적정소결온도에서 바리스터 전압 $V_{1mA}$ 및 $V_{10mA}/V_{1mA}$특성은 225 ~ 250. 0.85 ~ 0.9의 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 특히, 유전특성의 경우 주파수에 따라 정전용량의 변화가 높은 온도에서 소결한 경우 높게 나타났으며 적정 소결온도에서는 유전율은 720 ~ 740, 유전손실은 2.5% 이하의 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

ATS(Automatic Train Stop)s are is effected by track environment, signal distance and train braking distance. So onboard signaling systems such as ATP(Automatic Train Protection) are installed on conventional lines by some train operation companies. With the mixed signalling, the onboard signaling system is overlaid on a conventional line with ATS, it is possible to run the line with conventional trains and ATP trains and to use the advantages of ATP(higher speed or more trains on the line). This paper includes guidelines a mixed signalling(ETCS and ATS) system architecture, operation concepts and infill balise installation.

Hybrid supercapacitors with high power density and long cycle life are widely used for emergency power source of LED emergency luminaires. In this paper, we designed and fabricated a hybrid capacitor cell and a module for the LED emergency luminaires. Using hybrid supercapacitor cells (1,000 F, 2.8 V), we designed a module in a 10-year warranty considering aging and ESR. Considering the ESR and efficiency has been designed to module with 1,000 F 5.6 V design results in 2 series and 2 parallel combination. Module was used to confirm that the operation 77.5 minutes at room temperature, discharge LED emergency luminaires with 2 W. As a LED emergency luminaires of emergency power supply that we can support more than 10 years of life was confirmed the applicability of hybrid supercapacitor.

Starting with Kubo's formula and using the projection operator technique introduced by Kawabata, EPR lineprofile function for a $Mn^{2+}$-doped wurtzite structure GaN semiconductor was derived as a function of temperature at a frequency of 9.49 GHz (X-band) in the presence of external electromagnetic field. The line-width is barely affected in the low-temperature region because there is no correlation between the resonance fields and the distribution function. At higher temperature the line-width increases with increasing temperature due to the interaction of electrons with acoustic phonons. Thus, the present technique is considered to be more convenient to explain the resonant system as in the case of other optical transition systems.

The reliability of multilayer ceramic capacitor with active thin dielectric layer was investigated by highly accelerated life test at various stress condition. The distribution of multilayer ceramic capacitor failure times is plotted as a function of time from Weibull distribution function. According to the test result, voltage acceleration factor is obtained from 2.24 to 2.96. The acceleration by temperature is much higher than other values of active thick dielectric layer. It is clear that median time to failure is affected by the stress voltage for high volumetric efficiency ceramic capacitors with active thin dielectric layer. The degradation under stress of voltage involves electromigration and accumulation of oxygen vacancy at Ni electrode interface of cathode.
