The 2-D discrete cosine transform (DCT) is an integral part of video and image processing; it is used in both the PEG and MPEG enciding standards. As streaming video is brought to mobile devices, it becomes important that it is possible to calculate the DCT in an energy-efficient manner. In this paper, we present a new algorithm the DCT with a linear array PEs. This design is optimized for energy efficiency. We analyze the energy, area, and latency tradeoffs available with this design and then compare its energy dissipation, area, and latency to those of Xilinx's optimized IP core.

OFDM system is very useful for the high speed communication system. However, OFDM system has a serious problem of high PAPR that results from the so many subcarriers in the same phase. This OFDM signal is distorted through the nonlinear HPA(High Power Amplifier). Tone reservation method is to insert tone signal in several types to reduce the PAPR after iterating this process by changing the tone signal. Also discrete cosine transform(DCT) can reduces the PAPR as multiplying the cosine value to change the angle and mix up with the data. In the paper, the combination of the TR method and DCT method is newly proposed for more effective reduction of the PAPR. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional simple TR method and DCT method with respect to the PAPR reduction and BER performance.

본 논문은 DCT기반에서 AC 및 DC 성분에 워터마크를 삽입하는 워터마킹 방법을 제안하였다. DCT는 원영상을 8×8 블록으로 나누어서 행하였으며, 삽입한 워터마크 데이터는 평균 0, 분산 1, 길이가 1000인 정규분포 랜덤시퀀스를 사용하였다. 이 워터마크 데이터의 크기에 따라 DCT의 DC 및 AC 성분에 삽입한다. 제안한 워터마킹 알고리듬의 성능을 확인하기 위해서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 제안 방법이 기존의 워터마크 방법보다 비가시성 및 견고성 면에서 우수함을 확인하였다

In this paper, we propose the improved method for retrieving images with DC element of DCT that is used in image compression such as JPEG/MPEG. The existing method retrieves images with DC of fixed block size DCT. In this method, the increase in the block size results in faster retrieving speed, but it lessens the accuracy. The decrease in the block size improves the accuracy, however, it degrades the retrieving speed. In order to solve this problem, the proposed method utilizes the variable block size DCT. This method first determines the existence of object regions within each block, and then creates an image region table. Based on this table, it determines the size of each block, following a simple rule; decrease the block size in the object regions, and increase the block size in the background regions. The proposed method using variable block size DCT improves about 15% in terms of the accuracy. Additionally, when there rarely exist images of same pattern, it is able to retrieve faster only by comparing the image region patterns.

The aim of this study was to conduct basic research on the development of a dual-clutch transmission(DCT) and automatic transmission for agricultural tractors. The DCT layout and the DCT simulation model were developed using commercial software. Power transmission efficiency of the DCT and component power loss were analyzed to verify the developed simulation model. Power loss analysis of the components was conducted according to previous studies and ISO(International Organization for Standardization) standards. The power transmission efficiency of the DCT simulation model was 68.4-91.5% according to the gear range. The power loss in the gear, bearing, and clutch DCT system components was 0.75-1.49 kW, 0.77-2.99 kW, and 5.24-10.52 kW, respectively. The developed simulation model not include the rear axle, differential gear, final reduction gear. Therefore actual power transmission efficiency of DCT will be decreased. In a future study, an actual DCT can be developed through the simulation model in this study, and optimization design of DCT can be possible by comparing simulation results and actual vehicle test.

A dctA gene encoding a protein with identity to a C4-dicarboxylate/H+ was cloned from a beneficial biocontrol bacterium, P. chororaphis O6. Expression of the dctA was induced in minimal medium by several organic acids and was repressed by glucose. Highest expression was observed in early-log cells grown on fumarate and succinate with decline as cells approached late-log phase. The dctA transcript accumulated weakly when cells were grown on malate but strong expression was observed with benzoate. Expression of the dctA transcript was repressed in early-log cells upon addition of glucose to fumarate, but was detected as the cell culture aged. A dctA-deficient mutant of O6, constructed by marker exchange mutagenesis, did not grow on minimal medium containing succinate, benzoate, or fumarate, and growth on malate was delayed. The dctA mutant and wild type grew equally on glucose. The dctA mutant on cucumber roots in sterilized potting soil was colonized at levels comparable to those of the wild type, but induction level of disease resistance by the mutant against target leaf spot disease was decreased. These results may indicate that the dctA is essential for utilization of certain organic acids and its expression is controlled by the availability of sugars. In addition, the dctA is not essenitial for cucumber root colonization, but important for induction of disease resistance.

We propose an efficient DCT-domain video transcoding algorithm for flexible for bit-rate video communications. Video transcoding provides communication fiexibility by adaptively changing the bit-rate of compressed bit stream. During the transcoding process, adrift error is unavoidable because of the difference between reference images in the series of encoding and decoding. For solving the drift error problem, cascade pixel-domain transcoder (CPDT) has been proposed. CPDT, however, requires highly complex hardware and heavy computational overhead. In this paper we propose a DCT-domain transcoding technique, which enables efficient transcoding without any drift error. The proposed cascade DCT-domain transcoder (CDDT) is realized by new motion compensation and down-sampling methods in the DCT-domain.

In order to convert MPEG-2 into H.264 format in ubiquitous communication environments, the efficient conversion of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients to H.264 transform coefficients is essential. In this paper, two efficient conversion systems are proposed. The proposed systems are composed of two parts. In the first part, the DCT coefficients are denoised using the lapped transform (LT) to reduce the quantization noises and blocking effects. In the second part, the denoised DCT coefficients are converted into the integer transform (IT) coefficients of H.264. Simulation results show that the proposed methods provide visually fine images. Moreover, the computational complexity of the proposed method is reduced compared with the conventional method, since the number of the DCT coefficients, which should be converted, is reduced in the first part.

This paper presents shift characteristics of a dual clutch transmission(DCT). To obtain the shift force, dynamic models of the DCT are constructed by using MATLAB/Simulink and considering the rotational inertia of every component and the target pre-select time. Dynamic models of the shift and clutch actuators are derived based on the experimental results of the dynamic characteristics test. Based on the dynamic model of the DCT synchronizer, control actuator and vehicle model, a DCT vehicle performance simulator is developed. Using the simulator, the shift force and speed of the relevant shafts are obtained. In addition, the torque and acceleration of actuators are calculated during the shift process by considering the engaging and disengaging dynamics of the two clutches. It is observed from the performance simulator that uninterrupted torque can be transmitted by proper control of the two clutches.

The design of an efficient scaler to enhance the edge data is one of the most important issues in video signal applications, because the perceptual quality of the processed image is sensitively affected by the degradation of edge data. Various conventional scaling schemes have been proposed to enhance the edge data. In this paper, we propose an efficient scaling algorithm for this purpose. The proposed method is based on the discrete cosine transform-based interpolation filter (DCT-IF) because it outperforms other scaling algorithms in various configurations. The proposed DCT-IF incorporates weighting parameters that are optimized for training data. Simulation results show that the quality of the resized image produced by the proposed DCT-IF is much higher than that of those produced by the conventional schemes, although the proposed DCT-IF is more complex than other conventional scaling algorithms.
