역률 보상(Power Factor Correction) 회로의 입력 전압은 정현파이다. 부스트 역률 보상 회로의 경우, 정현파인 입력 전압의 크기가 충분히 작을 때 다이오드가 도통하지 않는 구간이 생긴다. 이 구간에서는 입력 전류 파형의 왜곡이 일어나고, 입력 전류의 전고조파왜율(Total Harmonic Distortion)이 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 임계 도통 모드(Critical Conduction Mode) 역률 보상 부스트 컨버터에 한하여 두 가지 영전류 검출 방법을 사용하여 전고조파왜율을 개선하는 방법을 제안하고, 모의실험으로써 성능을 검증하였다.

In this paper, a new concatenation scheme of serial concatenated convolutional codes is proposed and the performance analyzed. In the proposed scheme, each of information and parity bits of outer code is entered into inner code through interleaver and deinterleaver. Therefore, the interleaver size is same as the length of input frame. Since the interleaver size of proposed type is reduced to half of the conventional Benedetto type, the interleaver delay time required for iterative decoding is reduced. In addition the multiplexer and demultiplexer are not used in the decoder of the proposed type, the complexity of decoder can be also reduced. As results of simulation, the performance of proposed type shows the better error performance as compared to that of the conventional Benedetto type in case of the same interleaver size. And it can be observed that the difference of BER performance is increased with the increase of Eb/No. In case of the same length of input frame, the proposed type shows almost same performance with Benedetto type despite that the interleaver size is reduced by half.

Photomosaic is a method of representation an input image in forms of mosaics by a set of small tile images. Generally, equal rectangular tiles are used in photo mosaics. Therefore, there are limitations to expression of mosaic according to characteristic of images. In this paper, photo mosaics using quad-tree structure is proposed to create tiles in varies sizes. Initially, color variance per each level of an input image is computed using the mipmap of graphic hardware. Depending on the value of Valiance, the input image is divided into tiles in varies sizes. Each tile finds the most similar reference image and replaces with it. As a result, the method provides another pictorial effectiveness by dividing the input image into tiles in varies sizes depending on color held by the input image. In addition, whole processing is done on the graphic hardware and thereby we achieve faster performance.

A time-pickoff circuit used for time measurement suffers from a timing error due to the dependence of the generation time of a timing pulse on the size of the input signal, i.e., time walk. In this study, a time-pickoff method, which employs an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit, is proposed for reducing the timing error. The AGC circuit is added to the input of the comparator, and it renders the sizes of input signals of the comparator relatively uniform. The performance of the proposed time-pickoff method is analyzed using the SPICE simulation, and experiments are performed to confirm the analytical results. The measured time walk is reduced to 2.000 ns by 65% for input signals with a dynamic range of 20 dB as compared to a typical leading-edge discriminator.

Mobile devices provide various services through payment and authentication by inputting important information such as passwords on the screen with the virtual keypads. In order to infer the password inputted by the user, the attacker captures the user's touch location information. The attacker is able to infer the password by using the location information or to obtain password information by peeping with Google Glass or Shoulder Surfing Attack. As existing secure keypads place the same letters in a set order except for few keys, considering handy input, they are vulnerable to attacks from Google Glass and Shoulder Surfing Attack. Secure keypads are able to improve security by rearranging various shapes and locations. In this paper, we propose secure keypads that generates 13 different shapes and sizes of Tetris and arranges keypads to be attached one another. Since the keypad arranges different shapes and sizes like the game, Tetris, for the virtual keypad to be different, it is difficult to infer the inputted password because of changes in size even though the attacker knows the touch location information.

This paper presents the influence of backlash can be greatly increased on the frequency response characteristic which is presented as the angular velocity of a motor to the motor input voltage, if the motor input voltage is adequately reduced. And, this paper verifies theoretically, analytically and experimentally the availability on the method of detecting the change of backlash magnitude by investigating on the change of the anti-resonance and resonance frequencies in the frequency response characteristic due to the change of backlash magnitude. The amount of change of anti-resonance frequency is more useful that of resonance frequency when detecting the change of backlash magnitude, because the change of anti-resonance frequency can be measured more stable. This paper also shows the sharp change of resonance frequency can be investigated when the motor input voltage is enough reduced. The work will be useful for the further research on the backlash estimation method of a servo system with a gear reducer.

Changes in climate have largely increased concentrated heavy rainfall, which in turn is causing enormous damages to humans and properties. Floods are one of the most deadly and damaging natural disasters known to mankind. The flood forecasting and warning system concentrates on reducing injuries, deaths, and property damage caused by floods. Therefore, the exact relationship and the spatial variability analysis of hydrometeorological elements and characteristic factors is critical elements to reduce the uncertainty in rainfall-runoff model. In this study, grid resolution depending on the topographic factor in rainfall-runoff models presents how to respond. semi-distribution of rainfall-runoff model using the model GRM simulated and calibrated rainfall-runoff in the Gamcheon and Naeseongcheon watershed. To run the GRM model, input grid data used rainfall (two event), DEM, landuse and soil. This study selected cell size of 500 m(basic), 1 km, 2 km, 5 km, 10 km and 12 km. According to the resolution of each grid, in order to compare simulation results, the runoff hydrograph has been made and the runoff has also been simulated. As a result, runoff volume and peak discharge which simulated cell size of DEM 500 m~12 km were continuously reduced. that results showed decrease tendency. However, input grid data except for DEM have not contributed increase or decrease runoff tendency. These results showed that the more increased cell size of DEM make the more decreased slope value because of the increased horizontal distance.

다자간 영상통화를 사용할 경우 참여자들의 각기 다른 회의환경과 음성 입력 장치의 사용으로 인해 화자별로 다른 크기의 음량이 발생하게 되어 듣는 화자는 다른 크기의 음량을 청취하면서 불편함을 느끼게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 다양한 크기의 음량을 일정한 기준으로 조절하는 음량정규화 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 화자의 평균음량크기를 추정하는 동안 음량정규화 처리하는 적응구간과, 구해진 평균음량크기를 통해 음량정규화 처리하는 유지구간으로 나누어 처리한다.

본 논문에서는 최근 서버에 적용되고 있는 180~305 Vac의 높은 입력에 대한 종속 벅 부스트 형태의 역률 보상 회로를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 277 Vac인 공칭 입력 전압에서 기존 부스트 역률 보상 회로와 동일하게 동작하며, 277 Vac 이상의 입력에서는 추가된 벅 스위치의 간단한 피드-포워드 제어를 통해 부스트 단의 평균 입력 전압을 낮추는 방법을 사용한다. 따라서, 277 Vac 이상의 높은 입력 전압에서도 기존 보다 낮은 출력 전압으로 컨버터가 동작하기 때문에, 기존의 부스트 컨버터에 비해 출력 콘덴서의 크기와 부스트 스위치, 다이오드의 전압 스트레스를 감소시킬 수 있다. 이를 통해 공칭 입력 전압에서 부스트 스위치의 스위칭 손실을 감소시킬 수 있고 높은 전력 밀도를 가질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 컨버터의 분석과 함께, 유효성 확인을 위해 입력 180~305 Vac, 출력 400 V, 750 W 급 컨버터를 제작하였으며 실험을 통해 얻은 결과를 제시하였다.

본 논문은 부하전압의 크기에 따라 동작모드가 다르게 구성되는 공진형 DC/DC 컨버터의 동작 특성을 해석한다. 공진형 DC/DC 컨버터는 직류 입력전원에 연결되는 LC 공진회로, 공진회로의 캐패시터 전압이 최대일 때 부하측으로 에너지를 전달하는 공진형 컨버터로 구성되어있다. 공진형 컨버터는 공진 회로의 캐패시터 전압과 부하전압의 상대적인 크기에 따라서 2개의 동작 모드 특성을 가진다. 공진 캐패시터 전압의 최대값이 부하전압보다 작을 경우, 스위칭 회로는 부스트 인덕터를 이용하여 입력측 에너지를 부하측으로 전달한다. 반대로 큰 경우에는 스위칭 동작없이 공진 캐패시터가 부하측으로 직접 연결되어 입력측 에너지를 부하로 전달한 후, 공진 캐패시터의 잔여 에너지를 부스트 인덕터를 이용하여 부하측으로 전달한다. 공진형 DC/DC 컨버터 회로의 동작원리를 설명하고, PSPICE Simulation 및 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.
