In this study, we evaluated the performance of a commercial pixelated cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector for spectroscopy and identified its feasibility as a Compton camera for radiation monitoring in a nuclear power plant. The detection system consisted of a $20mm{\times}20mm{\times}5mm$ CZT crystal with $8{\times}8$ pixelated anodes and a common cathode, in addition to an application specific integrated circuit. The performance of the various radioisotopes $^{57}Co$, $^{133}Ba$, $^{22}Na$, and $^{137}Cs$ was evaluated. In general, the amplitude of the induced signal in a CZT crystal depends on the interaction position and material non-uniformity. To minimize this dependency, a drift time correction was applied. The depth of each interaction was calculated by the drift time and the positional dependency of the signal amplitude was corrected based on the depth information. After the correction, the Compton regions of each spectrum were reduced, and energy resolutions of 122 keV, 356 keV, 511 keV, and 662 keV peaks were improved from 13.59%, 9.56%, 6.08%, and 5%-4.61%, 2.94%, 2.08%, and 2.2%, respectively. For the Compton imaging, simulations and experiments using one $^{137}Cs$ source with various angular positions and two $^{137}Cs$ sources were performed. Individual and multiple sources of $^{133}Ba$, $^{22}Na$, and $^{137}Cs$ were also measured. The images were successfully reconstructed by weighted list-mode maximum likelihood expectation maximization method. The angular resolutions and intrinsic efficiency of the $^{137}Cs$ experiments were approximately $7^{\circ}-9^{\circ}$ and $5{\times}10^{-4}-7{\times}10^{-4}$, respectively. The distortions of the source distribution were proportional to the offset angle.

무선 센서 네트워크에서의 시간 동기 알고리즘은 위치 추적, 데이터 암호화, 중복 이벤트 감지 인식, 정밀한 TDMA 스케줄링 등의 다양한 응용을 위해서 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 두 노드 사이에서 시간 보정을 위한 클럭 표류율과 기준 신호를 이용한 시간 동기 알고리즘인 CDRS을 제안한다. CDRS는 시간 동기를 위해 두 단계로 구성된다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 LTS를 이용하여 시간 보정 값인 노드간의 시간 차이와 클럭 표류율을 구한다. 이 단계가 끝나면 두 노드는 시간이 맞추어진 상태가 되고 클럭 표류율로 시간 차이를 보정할 수 있게 된다. 두 번째 단계에서는 동기 노드는 주기적으로 기준 신호를 전송한다. 비동기 노드는 수신된 신호를 사용하여 두 노드간 시간 차이를 측정하고, 시간 차이가 최대 허용 오차 범위를 초과하면 다시 첫 번째 단계를 수행한다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능 분석 결과, CDRS는 LTS 대비 시간 정확도가 향상된다. 또한 메시지 발생량이 LTS 대비 50% 감소하고, 기준 신호는 타임스탬프를 사용하지 않기 때문에 CDRS는 LTS에 비하여 시간 동기에 사용되는 에너지가 2.5배 정도 적게 사용된다.

A coupling capacitor voltage transformer(CCVT) is used in an extra or ultra high voltage system to obtain the standard low voltage signal for protection. To avoid the phase angle error between the primary and secondary voltages, a tuning reactor is connected between a capacitor and a voltage transformer. The inductance of the reactor is designed based on the power system frequency. If a fault occurs on the power system, the secondary voltage of the CCVT contains some errors due to a dc offset component and harmonic components resulting from the fault. The errors become severe in the case of a close-in fault. This paper proposes an algorithm for compensating the secondary voltage of a CCVT in the time-domain. From the measured secondary voltage of the CCVT, the secondary and primary currents are obtained; then the voltage across the capacitor and the inductor is calculated and then added to the measured secondary voltage to obtain the correct primary voltage. Test results indicate that the proposed algorithm can compensate the distorted secondary voltage of the CCVT irrespective of the fault distance, the fault inception angle, and the burden of the CCVT.

유전자 알고리즘은 염색체 집단을 이용하는 탐색이므로 전역적인 최적해의 탐색 성능은 우수하여 최적해에 근접한 한점까지의 수렴속도는 빠르지만 탐색 메카니즘이 없기 때문에 최적해 근처의 탐색에서는 수렴 속도가 떨어지는 단점이 있고, 역전파 알고리즘은 개체 수준의 탐색이므로 지역적 미세조정의 탐색능력은 우수하지만 전역적 탐색기능이 없어 지역적 최적해로 수렴하는 경우가 있다. 본 논문에서는 수렴 속도가 향상된 윤곽선 추출을 위하여 유전자와 역전파 알고리즘을 병행해서 실행하는 윤곽선 추출방법을 제안하였다. 윤곽선 추출 방법은 먼저 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 최적의 연결강도와 오프셋 값을 계산한다. 다음으로 이 값을 역전파 학습 알고리즘 학습의 파라미터의 초기값으로 한 반복 학습으로 최적의 윤곽선 구조를 추출하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 유전자 알고리즘 또는 역전파 알고리즘 단독으로 실행한 경우보다 수렴속도가 향상된 결과를 보여 주었다.

Alternative binary offset carrier (AltBOC) signals can be approximated by four synchronized direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signals, each pair of which is a quadrature phase shift keyed (QPSK) signal at a different frequency. Therefore, depending on the strength of an incoming AltBOC signal, an acquisition technique can reduce the mean acquisition time (MAT) by searching the four DSSS signals asynchronously; the search for each of the four DSSS signals can start at one of the evenly separated hypotheses on the two-dimensional hypothesis space. And detection sensitivity can be improved by multiple levels when different numbers of search results for the same hypothesis are combined. In this paper, we propose a fast AltBOC acquisition technique that has an asynchronous search strategy and efficiently utilizes the output of the four search results to increase the sensitivity level when sensitivity improvement is needed. We provide a complete theoretical analysis and demonstrate with numerous Monte Carlo simulations that the MAT of the proposed technique is much smaller than conventional AltBOC acquisition techniques.

Presently, optical burst switching (OBS) technology is under study as a promising solution for the backbone of the optical Internet in the near future because OBS eliminates the optical buffer problem at the switching node with the help of no optical/electro/optical conversion and guarantees class of service without any buffering. To implement the OBS network, there are a lot of challenging issues to be solved. The edge router, burst offset time management, and burst assembly mechanism are critical issues. In addition, the core router needs data burst and control header packet scheduling, a protection and restoration mechanism, and a contention resolution scheme. In this paper, we focus on the burst assembly mechanism. We present a novel data burst generation algorithm that uses hysteresis characteristics in the queueing model for the ingress edge node in optical burst switching networks. Simulation with Poisson and self-similar traffic models shows that this algorithm adaptively changes the data burst size according to the offered load and offers high average data burst utilization with a lower timer operation. It also reduces the possibility of a continuous blocking problem in the bandwidth reservation request, limits the maximum queueing delay, and minimizes the required burst size by lifting up data burst utilization for bursty input IP traffic.

Internal solitary waves occur due to density stratification and are nonlinear in nature. These waves have been observed in many parts of the world including the South China Sea, Andaman Sea and Sulu Sea. Their effect on floating systems has been an emerging field of interest and recent offshore developments in the South China Sea where several offshore oil and gas discoveries are located have confirmed adverse effects including large platform motions and riser system damage. A valid numerical model conforming to the physics of internal waves is implemented in this paper and the effect on a spar platform is studied. The physics of internal waves is modeled by the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, which has a general solution involving Jacobian elliptical functions. The effects of vertical density stratification are captured by solving the Taylor Goldstein equation. Fully coupled time domain analyses are conducted to estimate the effect of internal waves on a typical truss spar, which is configured to South China Sea development requirements and environmental conditions. The hull, moorings and risers are considered as an integrated system and the platform global motions are analyzed. The study could be useful for future guidance and development of offshore systems in the South China Sea and other areas where the internal wave phenomenon is prominent.

For the purpose of developing capacitive humidity sensor having interdigital electrodes, interdigital electrode was modeled and simulated to obtain capacitance and sensitivity as a function of geometric parameters like the structural gap and thickness. For the development of ASIC, switched capacitor signal processing circuits for capacitive humidity sensor were designed and simulated by Cadence using $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS process parameters. The signal processing circuits are composed of amplifier for voltage gain control, and clock generator for sensor driving and switch control. The characteristics of the fabricated sensors are; 1) sensitivity is 9fF/%R.H., 2) temperature coefficient of offset(TCO) is $0.4%R.H./^{\circ}C$, 3) nonlinearity is 1.2%FS, 4) hysteresis is 1.5%FS in humidity range of $3%R.H.{\sim}98%R.H.$. The response time is 50 seconds in adsorption and 70 seconds in desorption. Fabricated process used in this capacitive humidity sensor having interdigital electrode are just as similar as conventional IC process technology.
