This paper describes what brings about DC offset and the impact or the DC offset on the performance or direct-conversion mobile receiver in WCDMA system. The performance degradation of $E_{b}/N_{o}$ due to the DC offset is presented through simulation result. Direct-conversion RF Transceiver which has the function of DC offset control is implemented and then applied to the WCDMA test-bed for the performance evaluation. The receiver performance degradation of $E_{c}/I_{o}$ is evaluated and analyzed by varying DC offset value. The practical test showed the minimum requirement of DC offset value to meet system performance.

H.264/AVC compresses video data by applying DCT transform, quantization and entropy coding processes to the residual signal obtained by inter/intra prediction. This paper proposes a method enhancing an existing DC offset adjustment technology which uses information of neighboring blocks to reduce residual information for improving coding efficiency. DC offset information is not sent over bitstreams, but calculated in the same way both in the decoder and in the encoder. Experimental results show that the proposed method enhances coding efficiency by 0.25% in average BD-Rate compared to H.264/AVC and gives better or worse coding efficiency compared to the existing DC offset method depending on video sequences with coding efficiency degradation by 0.09% in average BD-Rate. This experimental results also show that further coding efficiency improvement is possible by applying the proposed method adaptively to slice or macroblock coding units.

This paper discusses methods for the stable bottom detection and the optimum bottom offset which enable to separate the fish echoes from the bottom echoes with echo integration of demersal fish. In preprocessing of the echo signal, the bottom detection has to be done stably against the fluctuation of echo level and the bottom offset has to be set to a minimum height such that near bottom fish echoes are included Two methods of bottom detection, namely echo level threshold method and maximum echo slope method were compared and analyzed. The echo level method works well if the ideal threshold level was given but it sometimes misses the bottom because of the fluctuation of the echo. Another method to detect the bottom which uses maximum echo slope indicates the simple and stable bottom detection. In addition, the bottom offset has to be set near to the bottom but not to include the bottom echo. Optimum bottom offset should be set a few samples before the detected bottom echo which relates the beginning of pulse shape and acoustic beam pattern to the bottom feature.

The hard disk is one of the most frequently used storage in IPTV sep-top box. It has large storage capacity and provides fast I/O speed compared to its price whereas it causes high power consumption due to mechanical characteristics of spindle motor. In order to play streaming data in the set-top box, spindle motor of hard disk keeps active mode and it causes high power consumption. In this paper, We propose an offset-buffering and multi-mode spin-down method to reduce power consumption for streaming data playback. The offset-buffering inspects the user's viewing pattern and performs buffering based on the analysis of viewing pattern. So, it can maintain the status of spindle motor as idle mode for long time. Besides, it can reduce power consumption by spinning down according to offset-buffer size. The experimental result shows that proposed offset-buffering and multi mode spin-down method is about 28.3% and 12.5% lower than the full-Buffering method in terms of the power consumption and spin-down frequency, respectively.

The improved belief-propagation-based algorithms, such as normalized min-sum algorithm (NMSA) or offset min-sum algorithm (OMSA), are widely used to decode LDPC(Low-Density Parity-Check) codes because they are less computationally complex and work well even at low SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio). However, these algorithms work well only when an appropriate normalization factor or offset value is used. A new method that uses a CMD(Check Node Message Distribution) chart and least-square method, which has been recently proposed, has advantages on computational complexity over other approaches to get optimal coefficients. Furthermore, this method can be used to derive coefficients for each iteration. In this paper, we apply this method and propose an algorithm to derive a combination of normalization factor and offset value for a combined normalized and offset min-sum algorithm to further improve the decoding of LDPC codes. Simulations on the next-generation broadcasting standards, ATSC 3.0 LDPC codes, prove that a combined normalized and offset min-sum algorithm which takes the proposed coefficients as correction coefficients shows the best BER performance among other decoding algorithms.

This paper describes an offset and 1/f noise cancellation technique based hall sensor signal processor. The hall sensor outputs a hall voltage from the input magnetic field, which direction is orthogonal to hall plate. The two major elements to complete the hall sensor operation are: the one is a hall sensor to generate hall voltage from input magentic field, and the other one is a hall signal process system to cancel the offset and 1/f noise of hall signal. The proposed hall sensor splits the hall signal and unwanted signals(i.e. offset and 1/f noise) using a spinning current biasing technique and chopper stabilizer. The hall signal converted to 100 kHz and unwanted signals stay around DC frequency pass through chopper stabilizer. The unwanted signals are bloked by highpass filter which, 60 kHz cut off freqyency. Therefore only pure hall signal is enter the ADC(analog to dogital converter) for digitalize. The hall signal and unwanted signal at the output of an amplifer and highpass filter, which increase the power level of hall signal and cancel the unwanted signals are -53.9 dBm @ 100 kHz and -101.3 dBm @ 10 kHz. The ADC output of hall sensor signal process system has -5.0 dBm hall signal at 100 kHz frequency and -55.0 dBm unwanted signals at 10 kHz frequency.

In wire discharge machining which is using STD 11 as die materials, the major factors of machining speed are discharge voltage, discharge current, and discharge time. All of the three factors give the effect. Increasing of the discharge pulse time gets groove width wider and it relatively increases surface roughness and clearance. If no load voltage is decreased, surface roughness is good but it decreases machining speed. If on time is increased, machining speed will get faster and clearance and offset value also get bigger.

본 논문에서는 유사 시퀀스 매칭에서 미리 버림 계산의 효율적인 방법을 제안한다. 미리 버림은 유사 시퀀스 매칭에서 유클리디안 거리 계산 도중 거리 계산 값이 허용치보다 큰 경우 나머지 거리 계산을 하지 않는 방법이다. 기존의 방법은 시퀀스 첫 엔트리를 시작으로 하여 유클리디안 거리 계산을 진행한다. 이 방법은 데이터 고려 없이 계산이 진행되기 때문에 데이터의 특성에 따라 효과가 크게 다른 점을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 미리 버림의 효과를 최대화 시키기 위해 유클리디안 거리 계산 시작점을 오프셋이라 정의하고, 이를 데이터 특성에 맞게 조절하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 제안한 오프셋 조절 미리 버림 방법이 대용량의 데이터 베이스 기반 시스템에서 기존 기법에 비해 좋은 성능 향상시킨 것으로 나타났다.

In the conventional interchannel interference self-cancellation (ICI-SC) schemes, the length of sampling window is the same as the symbol length of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Thus, the number of complex operations to compute the interference coefficient of each subchannel is significantly increased. To solve this problem, we present an approximated mathematical model for the coefficients of ICI-SC schemes. Based on the proposed approximation, we analyze mean squared error (MSE) and computational complexity of the ICI-SC schemes with the length of sampling window. As a result, the presented approximation has an error of less than 0.01% on the MSE compared to the original equation. When the number of subchannels is 1024, the number of complex computations for the interference coefficients is reduced by 98% or more. Since the computational complexity can be remarkably reduced without sacrificing the self-cancellation capability, it is considered that the proposed approximation is very useful to develop an algorithm for the ICI-SC scheme.
