In this paper, we propose an ATC(Automatic Transfer mode Controller) algorithm and an average-mode-change method for use in Gear shift PLL which can automatically change loop gain. The proposed ATC algorithm accurately detects proper timing or the mode change and has a very simpler structure - than the conventional lock detector algorithm often used in QPSK. And the proposed average mode change method can obtain low errors of estimated frequency offset by averaging the loop filter output of frequency component in shift register. These algorithms are also useful in designing ASIC, since these algorithms occupy small circuit area and are adaptable for high speed digital processing. We also present phase tracking performance of proposed Gear-shift PLL, which is composed of polarity decision PD, ATC and average mode change circuit, and analyze the results by examining constellation at each mode.

There is much interest on information communications owing to the rapid development of network and IT(Information Technology). Analog signals are converted into digital signals for information communications. However, it is very difficult to completely erase the distortion induced during the conversion of analog signals such as voices and images into digital signals. Existing audio graphic equalizer requires very complex processes to calculate the gain and coefficients of the higher-order filter which is required to generate natural sound and to satisfy the need of each person. Unfortunately it is uneconomical and very difficult to embed the existing digital audio equalizer in the system because of the complexity of the existing digital audio equalizer for high quality sound. This paper discusses the design of a new digital audio graphic equalizer(DAGEQ) which can improve system performance and the quality of audio sound, and can be embedded in the system. This new DAGEQ is designed so that the gain can be controlled automatically. The automatic control of coefficients and gain empowers real time processing and the improvement of audio quality.

The installation rate of AMI(: Advanced Metering Infrastructure) capable of automatic electricity measurement is less than 43% nationwide and 10.5% in rural areas, which is very poor. Therefore, for the smart grid, automatic information recording of the watt-hour meter is required. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop a system capable of remote meter reading and use control by improving the existing watt-hour meter. In this paper, in order to enable the AMI function of the existing electricity meter, the remote meter reading and control technology of the existing electricity meter for AMI, the core of the smart grid, was developed using IoT and AI. The main research content was to recognize numbers using Tensorflow and Open-cv to convert it into a power meter sensing device for SG. We confirmed and checked the performance using the protyope system.

This paper focuses on vehicle fuel economy improvement using D-Range neutral control of automatic transmission. The system objected to reducing of fuel consumption during idle. Usually, turbine of conventional auto transmission is mechanically linked to wheel during idling condition. Therefore speed ratio of torque converter is zero for that period. This causes needless power loss by the torque converter slip. To improve this inefficiency automobile makers develops electronically-controlled D-range neutral control system. The D-range neutral control system minimizes slip on the torque converter by shifting gear to a neutral position during vehicle stoped with D-range gear position. However there's insufficient study about the effect of D-range neutral control system on vehicle fuel economy. In this paper, researches are performed on effect of D-range neutral control system on vehicle fuel economy by experiment with two different vehicle. And it is also estimated the effect on vehicle fuel economy using computer simulation. As a result, 1.8% of LA-4 mode fuel economy improvement can be achieved in a vehicle by D-range neutral control system.

Korea's long-term care insurance for the elderly, which started in 2008, is a borrowed one from gaeho insurance, which started eight years earlier. Both countries have a policy of welfare equipment benefit systems to support the lives of the elderly who are intellectually and mentally weakened. In this study, we attempted to compare and examine the welfare equipment items in Korea with those in Japan and find out the characteristics of the items in Korea and Japan. In Korea, loitering-detection device, posture changing devices, and incontinence underwears were registered as welfare devices before Japan, and in Japan, automatic urine disposal systems, wheelchair electric assist device, position converters, and lifts for handicapped person were designated as welfare devices before Korea. In addition, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has announced the designation of the excretion prediction support device as a welfare device. If Korea and Japan cooperate to develop welfare equipment items together, it will be of great help in improving the quality of life of the elderly in both countries in a super-aged society.

To evaluate the quality of clone detection tools, we should know how many clones the tool misses. Hence we need to have the standard code-clone reference corpus for a carefully chosen set of sample source codes. The reference corpus available so far has been built by manually collecting clones from the results of various existing tools. This paper presents a tree-pattern-based clone detection tool that can be used for automatic generation of reference corpus. Our tool is compared with CloneDR for precision and Bellon's reference corpus for recall. Our tool finds no false positives and 2 to 3 times more clones than CloneDR. Compared to Bellon's reference corpus, our tools shows the 93%-to-100% recall rate and detects far more clones.

에탄올은 금속, 고무 수지를 부식시키고 열화시키기 때문에 FFV 등 알코올 대응차량이 아닌 경우 에탄올 허용도가 제한되고 있으며, 물과의 상호용해성과 흡습성으로 수분혼입에 의한 상분리가 발생하여 혼합가솔린의 유통에서의 취급에 어려움이 야기되고 있다. 또한, 에탄올은 가솔린과 혼합되면 공비현상으로 인하여 50% 유출온도가 크게 떨어지고 증기압이 7kPa 정도 상승을 초래하는 점도 간과하지 않을 수 없다. 따라서, 자동차용휘발유에 에탄올을 혼입하여 사용할 경우, 가솔린기재를 적절히 선택하여 적정품질을 유지하여야 하며 무엇보다도 에탄을 혼입농도에 따른 저장탱크와 주유기 등의 부품에의 영향과 저장시의 상분리 문제를 충분히 규명하여 유통인프라에서의 적절한 대응책이 마련되어져야 한다. 유통 인프라 대응을 위해서는 우선 생산단계에서 수분 혼입을 최소화하기 위하여 저유소의 출하지점에서 서브옥탄가솔린과 에탄올을 라인브랜딩에 의해 제조하는 방법이 가장 타당하며, 수송부문에서는 탱크로리 등의 공급라인인 파이프와 실링 재질 등에 대해서 면밀한 검토가 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 주유소에서의 대응은 에탄을 혼합연료와 직접 접촉하는 연료계 등 부품재질을 내부식성의 재질로 변환시켜야 하며, 수분혼입을 최소화하기 위한 이중탱크 설치, 지하탱크 환기구내의 대기벨브 설치 등이 필요하며, 기타, 품질 및 수분관리 대책 등도 마련되어야 할 것이다.

In this paper, we propose effecient methods to extract the femoral head region in MR images. The femoral head area in MRI is approximated using Hough transform and the anatomical features of the femoral heads. Then, modified region growing method is applied to extract the femoral head region. We measured the parameters for the diagnosis of the avascular necrosis of the femoral heads from the segmented femoral head region. The proposed methods are proved very effective to extract the femoral head of healthy volunteer and of the patient having heavy avascular necrosis. The measured parameters can be used very efficiently for the quantitative analysis and the diagnosis of the avascular necrosis of the femoral heads.

세계 어디에서나 에너지의 수요가 급속히 증가하고 있는 반면, 인류가 사용 가능한 에너지 자원은 그 한계가 보이고 있다. 더욱이지구 온난화 현상이 표면화되어 있는 현 시점에서 인류의 사회활동은 환경문제와 밀접하게 연관되어져서 생각해야 한다는 것이 지구라는 close system 에서는 명확하다. 한정된 에너지 자원을 유용하게 사용하여 인류 미래의 삶을 보다 윤택하게 유지하기 위하여서는 사용목적에 맞는 최적의 에너지 형태로 효율 좋게 변환하는 것은 무엇보다도 중요하다. 열전기술은 원래우주개발 및 군사관계에 우선적으로 사용된 기술로써, 냉전시대의 미국과 소련이 개발경쟁을 한 바 있다. 열을 전기로 바꾸는 열전발전과 전기를 열로 바꾸는 냉동 보온의 양면으로부터 우주 탐사기에 탑재된 발전기, 잠수함용 냉난방장치, 비상용 전원, 자동차용 전원 등 가지각색의 system 이 고안되었다. 냉전시대가 끝나고 우주 군사 관계의 기술이 외부로 확산되게 되었으나 열전분야에서는 변환효율이 크지 않다는 단점으로 인해 민생부분으로 즉각적으로 전이할 수없는 어려운 점이 내재해 있었다. 에너지 및 환경의 문제가 심각히 대두되고 있는 오늘날에 이르러서야재료 및 그 응용에 대한 연구가 다시 붐을 이루어 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 발표에서는 열전소재의 효율을 높이기 위한 고차나노구조 제어기술 및 그것을 이용한 최근의 연구결과들을 소개한다.
