Slotless Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor(PM BLDC) with the characteristics of high speed and power density has been more widely used In Industrial and factory machine. Generally, PM BLDC meter is necessary that the three Hall-lCs evenly be distributed around the stator circumference in case of the 3 phase motor. The Hall-ICs are set up in PM BLDC Motor to detect the main flux from the rotor. therefore the output signal from Hall-ICs is used to drive a power transistor to control the stator winding current. However, instead of using three Hall-ICs, if it used only one Hall-IC, we can estimate information of the others phase in sequence through a rotor This paper identified the characteristics and performance by using one Hall-IC with the 3-phase, 2-pole, 6-slot PM BLDC motor.

In this study, an investigation of shear wave ultrasonic technique was carried out to detect stacking orientation error for CF/Epoxy quasi-isotropy composite laminates. The ultrasonic shear wave is particularly sensitive to ply orientation and layup sequence in tire CF/Epoxy composite laminates. In the manufacturing of composite laminates, it is important that layup errors be detected in samples. In this work, an effect was mack to develop shear wave techniques that can be applied to composite laminates. During testing, the mast significant problem is that the couplant conditions do not remain the same because of its changing viscosity. The design and use of a shear ware transducer would greatly alleviate the couplant problem. A pyramid of aluminum, with isosceles triangle (two 45o angles) sides, was made to generate shear waves, using two longitudinal transducers based on an ultrasonic-polarized mechanism. A signal splitter was connected to the pulser jack on a pulser/receiver and to the longitudinal transducers. The longitudinal transducers were mounted with mineral oil, and the shear transducer was mounted with burnt honey on the bottom as a receiver. The shear wave was generated at a maximum and a minimum based on the ultrasonic-polarized mechanism. Results show it is feasible to measure layup error using shear wave transducers on a stacking of prepregs in composites.

The third generation mobile communications system requiring the reliable multimedia data transmission has provided with the reliable voice, data and video services over the variable propagation environment. However the broadband wireless multiple access technologies cause Inter Symbol Interference(ISI) or Multiple Access Interference(MAI) to degrade the performance of CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) system. Constant Modulus Algorithm which is frequently used as the adaptive blind equalizers to remove the interfering signal has ill-convergence phenomenon without proper initialization. In this paper, new blind equalization method based on conventional CMA is proposed to improve the channel efficiency, and through computer simulation this is tested over the time varying fading environment of mobile communication system. consequently, new blind equalization method into concatenated Kalman filter with CMA is verified better than conventional CMA through adopting minimum mean square errors and eye- pattern obtained from algorithm are compared.

In this paper, we propose the prediction search algorithm for block matching using the temporal/spatial correlation of the video sequence and the renter-biased property of motion vectors The proposed algorithm determines the location of a better starting point for the search of an exact motion vector using the point of the smallest SAD(Sum of Absolute Difference) value by the predicted motion vector from the same block of the previous frame and the predictor candidate pint in each search region and the predicted motion vector from the neighbour blocks of the current frame. And the searching process after moving the starting point is processed a adaptive search pattern according to the magnitude of motion vector Simulation results show that PSNR(Peak-to-Signal Noise Ratio) values are improved up to the 0.75dB as depend on the video sequences and improved about 0.05∼0.34dB on an average except the FS (Full Search) algorithm.

In this paper we introduce the correlation-aided distributed sample acquisition (CDSA) scheme for fast cell search in IMT-2000 W-CDMA cellular system. The proposed scheme incorporates the state symbol correlation process into the comparison-correction based synchronization process of the original DSA scheme to enable fast acquisition even under very poor channel environment. for its realization, each mobile station (MS) has to store in its memory a set of state sample sequences. which are determined by the long-period scrambling sequences used in the system and the sampling interval of the state samples. CDSA based cell search is carried out in two stages : First, the MS first acquires the slot timing by using the primary synch code (PSC) and then identifies the igniter code which conveys the state samples of the current cell . Secondly. the MS identifies the scrambling code and frame timing by taking the comparison-correction based synchronization approach and, if the identification is not done satisfactorily within preset time. it initiates the state symbol correlation process which correlates the received symbol sequence with the pre-stored state sample sequences for a successful identification. As the state symbol SNR is relatively high. the state symbol correlation process enables reliable synchronization even in very low chip-SNR environment. Simulation results show that the proposed CDSA scheme outperforms the 3GPP 3-step approach, requiring the signal power of about 7 dB less for achieving the same acquisition time performance in low-SNR environments. Furthermore, it turns out very robust in the typical synchronization environment where large frequency offset exists.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) signal with high PAPR(peak to average power ratio) produces the nonlinear distortion and/or decreases down the power efficiency of HPA(high power amplifier). So, the IMD(inter-modulation distortion) reduction method was proposed to reduce the nonlinear distortion, which shows better BER(bit error rate) performance than the PAPR reduction methods. However, IMD reduction method has inherent problem which system complexity and processing time increases because the FFT(fast Fourier transform) processor is added in transmitter and decision criterion of IMD reduction method is computed in frequency domain,. In this paper, therefore, we propose a new IMD reduction method to reduce the computational complexity and structure of IMD computation. And we apply this proposed method into OFDM system using PTS(partial transmit sequence) scheme and compare the computational complexity between conventional and proposed IMD reduction method. This method can reduce the system size and computational complexity. Also, the proposed has almost same BER performance with the conventional IMD reduction method.

Various multimedia systems have been developed and their application areas widely proliferate. Thus, the interoperability is getting important among various networks and devices. The video transcoding is a technology to solve this interoperability problem among various coding standards. Transcoding can be defined as the conversion of one compressed coded data to another. In this paper, MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 transcoder in the spatial domain is compared with that in the DCT domain. The transcoder is very useful when a video sequence that is originally encoded for digital TV, DVD or satellite broadcasting is served in mobile environment. In order to compare two transcoders, all modules except motion compensation and down sampling are implemented identically. In addition, both transcoders do not search for motion vector. Instead, the decoded information is reused to the encoder. The experimental results show that the transcoder in the spatial domain is usually better than that in the DCT domain with respect to PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio), bitrate and execution time.

We propose a parallel acquisition scheme using antenna arrays for initial acquisition of direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DS-SS) signals. The proposed parallel scheme can lower substantially the range of detectable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as compared to the conventional parallel scheme with a single antenna. The proposed scheme uses the sum of the independent decision samples from antenna arrays corresponding to an identical subsequence of the pseudonoise (PN) code as a decision variable. We derive the probabilities of detection, missing, and false alarm under an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and a flat Rayleigh fading channel. Using these, we get the mean acquisition time of the proposed scheme. From numerical results, we see that the acquisition performance becomes improved continually as the number of antennas increases.

This paper addresses the subblock phase weighting(SPW) method to reduce the PAPR in OFDM system. This method divides the input block of OFDM signal into many subblocks and lower the peak power by weighting the phase of each subblocks properly. SPW method can be realized by only one IFFT. PAPR reduction performance is novelly examined when the adjacent, interleaved and random subblock partitioning schemes are used in the SPW system. The random subblock partition scheme has the most effective. More subblocks can effectively reduce the PAPR, but there is a problem that the processing time of iteration is increased. We propose a new weighting factor combination of the complementary sequence characteristic with threshold technique. OFDM data can be recovered by the inserted side information of weighting factor in the feed forward type. Also, BER performance of this SPW system is analyzed when error happens in the side information.

Purpose： To know the differences of the proton MR spectroscopic features of the liver between th patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and without GVHD (non-GVHD) after to marrow transplantation (BMT), and to evaluate the possibility to discriminate GVHD fro non-GVHD by analysis of the in vivo proton MR spectra. Method： We evaluated the in vivo proton MR spectra from the livers of 37 patients wh underwent BMT. Our series included 14 cases with GVHD and 23 without GVHD in the liver. Nineteen men and 18 women were included in our series. All cases of GVHD and 2 o non-GVHD were confirmed by liver biopsy and remaining of non-GVHD by evaluation clinical follow up. Proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was performed at 1.5T GE Sign Horizon (GE Medical System, Milwaukee, USA) system using localized proton STEAM sequence and body coil in all cases with subjects were located in supine position. N respiratory interruption was required during the spectroscopic signal acquisition. Paramete using in MRS were： TR = over 3000ms, TE = 30ms, number of scans = 128, voxel size = ($2{\times}2{\times}2$)$cm^3$, and one NEX. We evaluated the spectra with an attention to the differences o patterns of the peaks between GVHD and non-GVHD groups. The ratio of peak area of peaks at 1.6-4.1ppm to lipid (0.9-1.6ppm) [P(1.6-4.1ppm)/P(0.9-1.6ppm)] was calculated in GVHD and non-GVHD group, and compared the results between these groups. We als evaluated the sensitivity and specificity for discriminating GVHD from non-GVHD by anal of 1H-MRS.
