A new ROM compression method for continuous data is proposed. The ROM compression method is based on two proposed ROM compression algorithms. The first one is a region select ROM compression algorithm that stores only regions including data after dividing data into many small regions by magnitude and address. The second is a quantization ROM and error ROM compression algorithm that divides data into quantized data and their errors. Using these algorithms, 40~60% ROM size reductions aye achieved for various continuous data.

A new direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS) is proposed. The DDFS uses a new ROM compression method that divides each ROM in the conventional DDFS into two ROMs (a quantization ROM and an error ROM). The total size of the ROMs in the proposed DDFS is significantly reduced compared to the original ROM. The ROM compression ratio of 78 is achieved for a DDFS with 12bit output data. A DDFS with 12bit output data for sine function was implemented in a 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology. The power dissipation is 9.56㎽ at 100MHz with 3.3V and the maximum operating clock frequency is 330MHz.

An architecture of direct digital frequency synthesizers (DDFS) is studied in this paper The Direct digital frequency synthesizers (DDFS) provide fast frequency switching with high spectral purity and are widely used in modern spread spectrum wireless communication systems. ROM-based DDFS uses a ROM lookup table to store the amplitude of a sine wave. In this paper, we suggest three new techniques to reduce the ROM size. One new technique uses more number of hierarchical levels in ROM structures. Another techniques use simple interpolation techniques combined with hierarchical ROM structures. A 12 bit sine wave is generated by using these techniques. Experimental results show that the new proposed techniques can reduce the required ROM size by up to 24%, when compared to that of a resent method[1].

목적 : 현재, 많은 병원이 방사선과 의료영상정보를 기존의 필름형태로 판독하고, 진료하는 방식에서 PACS 를 도입하여 디지털 형태로 영상을 전송, 저장, 검색, 판독하는 환경으로 변화하고 있다. 한편, PACS 가 가지는 가장 큰 제한점은 휴대성의 결핍이다. 본 연구는 이동형 장치가 가지는 호스트의 이동성 및 휴대성의 장점들을 살리면서, 무선 채널 용량의 한계, 무선 링크 사용이라는 제약점들을 감안하여 의료영상을 JPEG2000 영상압축 방식으로 부호화한 후 무선 환경을 고려한 전송 패킷의 크기를 결정하고자 하였으며, 무선 통신 중 발생되는 패킷 손실에 대응하기 위한 자동 오류 수정 기능도 함께 구현하고자하였다. 방법 : Window 2000 운영체계에서 의료영상을 로드하고, 데이터베이스화하며, 저장하고, 다른 네트워크와 접속, 제어가 가능한 PC급 서버를 구축하였다. 영상데이터는 무선망을 통해 전송하기 때문에 가장 높은 압축비율을 지원하면서 에너지 밀도가 높은 JPEG2000 알고리즘을 사용하여 영상을 압축하였다. 또한, 무선망 사용으로 인한 패킷 손실에 대비하여, 영상을 JPEG2000 방식으로 부호화한 후 각 블록단위로 전송하였다. 결과 : PDA에서 JPEG2000 영상을 복호화 하는데 걸리는 시간은 256$\times$256 크기의 MR 뇌영상의 경우 바로 확인할 수 있었지만, 800$\times$790 크기의 CR 흉부 영상의 경우 약 5 초 정도의 시간이 걸렸다. CDMA 1X(Code Division Multiple Access 1st Generation) 모듈을 사용하여 영상을 전송하는 경우, 256 byte/see 정도에서는 안정된 전송 결과를 보여주었고, 1 Kbyte/see 정도의 전송의 경우 중간 중간에 패킷이 손실되는 결과를 관찰할 수 있었다. 반면 무선 랜의 경우 이보다 더 큰 패킷을 전송하더라도 문제점은 발견되지 않았다. 결론 : 현재의 PACS는 유선과 무선사이의 인터페이스의 부재로 인해 유무선 연동이 되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 이동형 JPEG2000 영상 뷰어는 PACS가 가지는 문제점인 휴대성을 보완하기 위하여 개발되었다. 또한 무선망이 가지는 데이터 손실에 대하여서도 허용할 수 있는 범위에서 재전송을 가능하게 함으로서 약한 연결성을 보완하였다. 본 JPEG2000 영상 뷰어 시스템은 기존 유선상의 PACS와 이동형 장치간에 유기적인 인터페이스 역할을 하리라 기대된다.

Currently, as a consequence of PACS (Picture Archiving Communication System) implementation many hospitals are replacing conventional film-type interpretations of diagnostic medical images with new digital-format interpretations that can also be saved, and retrieve However, the big limitation in PACS is considered to be the lack of mobility. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal communication packet size. This was done by considering the terms occurred in the wireless communication. After encoding medical image using JPGE2000 image compression method, This method embodied auto-error correction technique preventing the loss of packets occurred during wireless communication. A PC class server, with capabilities to load, collect data, save images, and connect with other network, was installed. Image data were compressed using JPEG2000 algorithm which supports the capability of high energy density and compression ratio, to communicate through a wireless network. Image data were also transmitted in block units coeded by JPEG2000 to prevent the loss of the packets in a wireless network. When JPGE2000 image data were decoded in a PUA (Personal Digital Assistant), it was instantaneous for a MR (Magnetic Resonance) head image of 256${\times}$256 pixels, while it took approximately 5 seconds to decode a CR (Computed Radiography) chest image of 800${\times}$790 pixels. In the transmission of the image data using a CDMA 1X module (Code-Division Multiple Access 1st Generation), 256 byte/sec was considered a stable transmission rate, but packets were lost in the intervals at the transmission rate of 1Kbyte/sec. However, even with a transmission rate above 1 Kbyte/sec, packets were not lost in wireless LAN. Current PACS are not compatible with wireless networks. because it does not have an interface between wired and wireless. Thus, the mobile JPEG2000 image viewing system was developed in order to complement mobility-a limitation in PACS. Moreover, the weak-connections of the wireless network was enhanced by re-transmitting image data within a limitations The results of this study are expected to play an interface role between the current wired-networks PACS and the mobile devices.

In order to investigate the strength characteristics of weathered granite soils in unsaturated state, the five physically different weathered granite soils and the common soil (sandy loam) were examined. The disturbed and the undisturbed material were prepared for triaxial compression test. The following conclusions were drawn from the study; 1. Dry density of the undisturbed soil samples was lower than maximum dry density determined from the compaction test and it showed the higher value at the well graded soil. 2. The failure strength of the samples decreased with the increase of moisture content of the soil and these results were highly pronounced at the common soil sample having a good cohesive property. 3. On weathered granite soils, the cohesion was lower measured and the internal friction angle highly, the decrease rate at internal friction angle with increase of moisture content of the soil was more significant than that of cohesion 4. The modulus of deformation of the samples decreased with increase of moisture content of the soil and these phenomena were highly pronounced at the weathered granite soils than common soil. 5. The failure strength of the samples increased with in crease of confining pressure and effect of confining pressure on failure strength was highly significant at the lower moisture content of the soil.
