BTC (Block Truncation Coding) image compression is simple to implement by hardware and has excellent edge retention capability of image, image compression techniques are widely used in LCD overdrive. In this paper, to maintain high visual quality and has high compression rate, Multi-Mode BTC (MM-BTC) algorithm is proposed. The MM-BTC has high compression rate using advanced Y-based BTC method and has high visual quality using improved 2-level and 4-level BTC method in this paper. As shown in simulation results, MM-BTC improves still image PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) up to 2.34 dB as compared with other algorithms. When the MM-BTC is applied to LCD overdrive, MM-BTC improves moving picture PSNR up to 2.33 dB as compared with other algorithms in literature.

Because reducing atmospheric pollution is becoming a serious issue, studies are actively focusing on exhaust gas reduction. This study was conducted to determine the emission characteristics when applying an EGR system, the main approach used for NOx reduction, to an off-road mechanical diesel engine. For the application of the EGR system, the emission characteristics in consideration of the engine conditions were analyzed. The optimum EGR ratio for NOx emission reduction was determined by applying variable EGR conditions for each engine speed condition. Considering the above process, the emission characteristics of the modified EGR condition are compared with those of other conditions (non-EGR and existing EGR condition) in the NRTC mode. Consequently, NOx emission was reduced by around 42 compared with the non-EGR condition when using the modified EGR map.

본 논문은 교통 신호 제어 알고리즘들의 성능을 비교하기 위한 복합교차로 시뮬레이터를 구현하였다. 기존의 교통 시뮬레이터들은 단일교차로를 대상으로 하거나 텍스트 모드로 동작하는 경우가 많았다. 논문의 시뮬레이터는 Visual C++의 MFC 라이브러리를 사용하여 n $\times$ n 형태를 갖는 복합교차로에 적합하도록 객체지향적으로 구현되었으며, 성능 비교를 위하여 제어 알고리즘들을 별개의 윈도우에서 처리하기 쉽도록 MDI 방식을 사용하였다. 개발한 시뮬레이터는 그래프 윈도우와 맵 윈도우의 편리한 사용자 인터페이스, 논리시간 설정을 통한 다목적 시뮬레이션, 다양한 성능평가 출력 등의 특징을 갖는다. Abstract In this paper, we implemented a multiple crossroad simulator to evaluate the performance of the traffic signal control algorithms. Most of existing traffic simulators were operated in text-mode or at a single intersection. We developed the object-oriented simulator suitable for multiple crossroads with n $\times$ n intersections by using MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class) library in Visual C++. The simulator was implemented by using MDI (Multiple Document Interface) scheme in order to process both control algorithms in separate windows respectively. Our simulator has the following features: user friendly interface with graph window and map window, multi-purpose simulations by setting logical time, and various forms of performance evaluation.

As the performance of the spaceborne SAR has been dramatically enhanced and demonstrated through advanced missions such as TerraSAR and LRO(Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter), the need for highly sophisticated and efficient SAR processor is also highlighted. In Korea, the activity of SAR researches has been mainly concerned with SAR image applications and the current SAR raw data studies are mostly limited to stripmap mode cases. The first Korean spaceborne SAR is scheduled to be operational from 2010 and expected to deliver vast amount of SAR raw data acquired from multiple operational scenarios including ScanSAR mode. Hence there will be an increasing demand to implement ground processing systems that enable to analyze the acquired ScanSAR data and generate corresponding images. In this paper, we have developed an efficient ScanSAR processor that can be directly applied to spaceborne ScanSAR mode data. The SPECAN(Spectrum Analysis) algorithm is employed for this purpose and its performance is verified through RADARSAT-1 ScanSAR raw data taken over Korean peninsular. An efficient quick-look processing is carried out to produce a wide-swath SAR image and compared with the conventional RDA processing case.

The Self-organizing Feature Map(SOFM) that is one of unsupervised neural networks is a very powerful tool for data clustering and visualization in high-dimensional data sets. Although the SOFM has been applied in many engineering problems, it needs to cluster similar weights into one class on the trained SOFM as a post-processing, which is manually performed in many cases. The traditional clustering algorithms, such as t-means, on the trained SOFM however do not yield satisfactory results, especially when clusters have arbitrary shapes. This paper proposes automatic clustering on trained SOFM, which can deal with arbitrary cluster shapes and be globally optimized by graph cuts. When using the graph cuts, the graph must have two additional vertices, called terminals, and weights between the terminals and vertices of the graph are generally set based on data manually obtained by users. The Proposed method automatically sets the weights based on mode-seeking on a distance matrix. Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method in texture segmentation. In the experimental results, the proposed method improved precision rates compared with previous traditional clustering algorithm, as the method can deal with arbitrary cluster shapes based on the graph-theoretic clustering.

In this study, we mainly focused on the PM (Particulate Matter) emission characteristics of a diesel engine. To analyze particle behavior in the tail-pipe, particle emission was measured on the engine-out (downstream of turbocharger), each upstream and downstream both of DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). Moreover, particle emission contours on each sampling point were constructed. The reduction efficiency of particle number concentration and mass through the DOC and DPF was studied. Parameters such as EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and the main injection timing were varied in part load conditions and evaluated using the engine-out emissions. The DMS500 (Differential Mobility Spectrometer) was used as a particle measurement instrument that can measure particle concentrations from 5 nm to 1000 nm. Nano-particles of sizes less than 30 nm were reduced by oxidation or coagulated with solid particles in the tail-pipe and DOC. The DPF has a very high filtration efficiency over all operating conditions except during natural regeneration of DPF.

A configuration scheme of optical link effectively compensating chromatic dispersion and nonlinear effects accumulated in optical link with single mode fibers (SMFs) is proposed. The proposed optical link configuration consist of optical phase conjugator (OPC) placed at middle of total transmission length and inline dispersion management (DM) as a role of compensating cumulated in each optical repeater of SMF by dispersion compensating fiber (DCF). Net residual dispersion (NRD) of this optical link is designed to be controlled through precompensation and postcompensating. The precompensation and postcompensation are designed to be determined by DCF after transmitter and before receiver, respectively. It is confirmed that optical link configuration with symmetric dispersion map with respect to OPC, which is implemented by controlling NRD through both precompensation and postcompensation, is better to be effective and adaptive than other configuration with NRD controlled by only precompensation or postcompensation.

JBIG2 is an International Standard fur compression of Bi-level images and documents. JBIG2 supports three encoding modes for high compression according to region features of documents. One of which is generic region coding for bitmap coding. The basic bitmap coder is either MMR or arithmetic coding. Pattern matching coding method is used for text region, and halftone pattern coding is used for halftone region. In this paper, a document is segmented into line-art, halftone and text region for JBIG2 encoding and JBIG2 CODEC is implemented. For efficient region segmentation of documents, region segmentation method using wavelet coefficient is applied with existing boundary extraction technique. In case of facsimile test image(IEEE-167a), there is improvement in compression ratio of about 2% and enhancement of subjective quality. Also, we propose arbitrary shape halftone region coding, which improves subjective quality in talc neighboring text of halftone region.

In the preceding Part I study, for improving the unbalance response vibration of a large PRT motor-generator rotor fundamentally by design, a series of design analyses were carried out for bearing improvement by retrofitting from original plain partial journal bearings, applied for operation at a rated speed of 1,800 rpm, to final tilting pad journal bearings. To satisfy evenly key basic lubrication performances such as the minimum lift-off speed and maximum oil-film temperature, a design solution of 5-pad tilting pad journal bearings and maximizing the direct stiffness by about two times has been achieved. In this Part II study, a detailed rotordynamic analysis of the large PRT motor-generator rotor-bearing system will be performed, applying both the original plain partial journal bearings and the retrofitted tilting pad journal bearings, to confirm the effect of rotordynamic vibration improvement after retrofitting. The results show that the rotor unbalance response vibrations with the tilting pad journal bearings are greatly reduced by as much as about one ninth of those with the plain partial journal bearings. In addition, for the tilting pad journal bearings there exist no critical speed up to the rated speed and just one instance of a concerned critical speed around the rated speed, whereas for the plain partial journal bearings there exist one instance of a critical speed up to the rated speed and two instances of concerned critical speeds around the rated speed.
