This paper presents the results of wave profile detection from video image using the Mexican hat function. The Mexican hat function has been extensively used in the field of signal processing to detect discontinuity in the images. The analysis was done on the numerical image and video images of waves that were taken in the small wave flume. The results show that the Mexican hat function is an excellent tool for wave profile detection.

The split ground structure for microstrip structure can be used to protect analog/RF signal from SSN interference of digital circuits on PCB with common ground. However, the split ground structure gives rise to undesired emissions that may interfere with nearby circuitry due to the ground discontinuity. In this paper, we have proposed the modified structure, Dumbbell shaped SGS and the method to reduce the radiation by adding the lumped resistor on the proposed Dumbbell shaped SGS.

In materials with the large grain size, ultrasonic waves are highly attenuated by the grain boundary acting as scattering centers due to discontinuity of elastic constant. In this study, the improved probes were developed so that they minimized the effect of grain scattering in order to detect deep flaws in coarse grained materials. As the result, the developed ultrasonic transducers showed the better sensitivity and signal to noise ratio when compared with the commercial probes in testing the interior of coarse grained material.

본 논문에서는 12.5 Gbps의 전송 속도를 갖는 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터(high-speed serial interface connector)의 설계 및 분석 방법을 제안한다. 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터는 다양한 매질로 구성되며, 내부 선로도 복잡한 구조를 가지고 있으므로, 선로의 불연속 부분의 각각을 임피던스 정합하기가 매우 어렵다. 따라서 커넥터의 각 부분을 단순화한 커넥터 라인(connector line)의 구조를 제안하였으며, 이 구조에서 R, L, C, G 파라미터를 추출하고 차동 모드 임피던스를 분석하며, TDT(Time Domain Transmissometry)와 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용하여 임피던스 불연속(impedance discontinuity)을 최소화 하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문은 단순화한 커넥터 라인에서 추출된 분석 방법 및 결과를 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터에 적용하였다. 제안한 커넥터는 총 44개의 핀(pin)으로 구성되며, 본 논문에서는 4개의 핀의 폭과 간격을 변경하여 신호 전달 특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 접지 핀의 폭이 증가할수록 임피던스는 소폭으로 감소하고, 접지핀과 신호 핀 사이의 간격이 증가할수록 임피던스가 증가했다. 또한, 신호 핀의 폭을 증가시키면 임피던스가 감소하며, 신호 핀과 신호 핀 사이의 간격을 늘리면 임피던스가 증가하였다. 최초 커넥터 임피던스 특성은 $96{\sim}139{\Omega}$ 사이에서 변화되는 값을 나타내었으나, 제안된 커넥터 구조를 적용했을 때 임피던스 특성은 $92.6{\sim}107.5{\Omega}$ 사이의 값으로 나타나, 설계 목표 $100{\Omega}{\pm}10%$를 만족함을 보였다.

The pad pitch of modern radio frequency integrated circuits is in the order of few tens of micrometers. Connecting a large number of high-speed I/Os to the outside world with good signal fidelity at low cost is an extremely challenging task. To cope with this requirement, we need reflection-free transmission lines from an on-chip pad to on-board SMA connectors. Such a transmission line is very hard to design due to the difference in on-chip and on-board feature size and the requirement for extremely large bandwidth. In this paper, we propose the use of narrow tracks close to chip and wide tracks away from the chip. This narrow-to-wide transition in width results in impedance discontinuity. A step change in substrate thickness is utilized to cancel the effect of the width discontinuity, thus achieving a reflection-free microstrip. To verify the concept, several microstrips were designed on multilayer FR4 PCB without any additional manufacturing steps. The TDR measurements reveal that the impedance variation is less than 3 ${\Omega}$ for a 50 ${\Omega}$ microstrip and S11 better than -9 dB for the frequency range 1 GHz to 6 GHz when the width changes from 165 ${\mu}m$ to 940 ${\mu}m$, and substrate thickness changes from 100 ${\mu}m$ to 500 ${\mu}m$.

A sudden change of stiffness in a structure, associated with the events such as weld fracture and brace breakage, will cause a discontinuity in acceleration response time histories recorded in the vicinity of damage location at damage time instant. A new damage index is proposed and implemented in this paper to detect the damage time instant, location, and severity of a structure due to a sudden change of structural stiffness. The proposed damage index is suitable for online structural health monitoring applications. It can also be used in conjunction with the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for damage detection without using the intermittency check. Numerical simulation using a five-story shear building under different types of excitation is executed to assess the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed damage index and damage detection approach for the building at different damage levels. The sensitivity of the damage index to the intensity and frequency range of measurement noise is also examined. The results from this study demonstrate that the damage index and damage detection approach proposed can accurately identify the damage time instant and location in the building due to a sudden loss of stiffness if measurement noise is below a certain level. The relation between the damage severity and the proposed damage index is linear. The wavelet-transform (WT) and the EMD with intermittency check are also applied to the same building for the comparison of detection efficiency between the proposed approach, the WT and the EMD.

본 연구에서는 의료영상 저장 및 전송 시스템에 필수적인 무손실 의료영상 압축 기법을 제안하였다. 의료영상은 방사선 영상 중에서 유방영상(mammography)과 자기공명영상을 사용하였으며, 이들 영상을 무손실로 압축하기 위하여 영역성장에 의한 영상분할 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리듬은 원 영상이 에러 영상과 불연속 계수 영상, 그리고 상위 비트 데이터 등 세 가지의 부 영역으로 분할되도록 하였다. 그리고 영역성장 과정 후 생성된 불연속 계수 영상 데이터와 에러 영상을 국제 이진영상압축 표준이며 그레이코드(graycode)화된 영상의 압축에 적합한 JBIG(Joint Bi-level Image expert Group) 알고리듬을 이용하여 압축시켰다. 제안한 알고리듬과 타 연구에서 사용된 기법들을 비교 검토 한 결과 제안한 무손실 압축 기법을 적용하여 얻어지는 압축율은 JBIG, JPEG, LZ 기법에 비해 평균적으로 각각 3.7%, 7.9%, 23.6% 정도 개선됨을 알 수 있었다.

The odontogenic myxoma is an benign, slow growing neoplasm which is of ectomesenchymal origin. This neoplasm occurs almost exclusively in the jaw bones and comprises 0.2% to 17.7% of odontogenic tumors. The odontogenic myxoma may show a wide spectrum of radiographic appearances, unilocular, multilocular radiolucency and a distinct or diffuse border, making the differential diagnosis difficult. We present a case of the odontogenic myxoma in the maxilla with conventional and recent image modalities. Occlusal film revealed a medially extended multilocular lesion with intralesional fine and straight trabeculations from the scalloped margin and buccal expansion and thinning of cortical bone. Computed tomogram revealed lesion showed equivalent density to the muscles in the left maxillary sinus with partial cortical discontinuity of medial wall and the tennis-racket pattern with internal straight trabeculations. MRI revealed intermediate signal intensity on Tl weighted image and high signal intensity on T2 weighted image. In Gd enhanced MR image, the peripheral portions of the lesion were enhanced.

In this paper, we say the shading correction system supporting multi-resolution for camera. The shading effect is caused by non-uniform illumination, non-uniform camera sensitivity, or even dirt and dust on glass (lens) surfaces. In general this shading effect is undesirable [1]. Eliminating it is frequently necessary for subsequent processing and especially when quantitative microscopy is the fine goal. The proposed system is available on thirty nine kinds of image resolutions scanned by interlaced and progressive type. Moreover, the system is using various continuous quadratic equations instead of using the piece-wise linear curve which is composed of multiple line segments. Finally, the system could correct the correct effect without discontinuity in any image resolution. The proposed system is also experimentally demonstrated with Xilinx Virtex FPGA XCV2000E- 6BG5560 and the TV set.
