In this study, an improved post-processing technique for correcting MRI artifact due to the unknown respiratory motion in the imaging plane is presented. Respiratory motion is modeled by a two-Dimensional linear expending-shrinking movement. Assuming that the body tissues are incompressible fluid like materials, the proton density per unit volume of the imaging object is kept constant. According to the introduced model, respiratory motion imposes phase error, non-uniform sampling and amplitude modulation distortions on the acquired MRI data. When the motion parameters are known or can be estimatead a reconstruction algorithm based on biliner superposition method was used to correct the MRI artifact. In the case of motion parameters are unknown, first, the spectrum shift method is applied to find the respiratory fluctuation function, x directional expansion coefficient and x directional expansion center. Next, y directional expansion coefficient and y directional expansion center are estimated by using the minimum energy method. Finally, the validity of this proposed method is shown to be effective by using the simulated motion images.

In this paper, a non-offset longitudinal shunt slot excited by an asymmetry compound iris on the broad wall of a rectangular waveguide is presented as an element for a waveguide slot-array antenna(WSAA). By properly adjusting the iris dimension, a resonance of the slot at a desired frequency can be achieved. The proposed resonant slot has some advantageous properties, such as a wide range of normalized resonant conductance, and minimum change of phase in the waveguide at the resonance. In addition, when the slots are arrayed for a waveguide slot antenna, the unwanted cross-polarization level can be reduced because each slot is placed in a straight line. A $8{\times}1$ WSAA with -20 dB side-lobe level(SLL) is designed, fabricated, and tested experimentally. The measured results are well agreed with the simulated ones and have an SLL of -18.13 dB and a cross-polarization level of -48.85 dB at 9.41 GHz, which was improved by about 15 dB of that of the conventional longitudinal slot array antenna.

This paper addresses the effect of group delay in satellite communication system. Phase of signal is distorted by the non-constant group delay. Group delay can be modeled as linear, parabolic and cubic type according to the polynomial characteristic. We investigate BER performance of satellite communication system with each 3 kinds of group delay. As signal bandwidth becomes wider, group delay makes more influence on the signal. BNR performance of satellite communication system is found when data rates are 1Mbps, 4Mbps and 8Mbps. Convolution coding with the code rate of 1/2 or 7/8 is used. At BER =10$\^$-5/, system with group delay needs more SNR of minimum 0.3㏈ to maximum 4.4㏈ than system without group delay. The worst case of BER performance happens in the linear group delay, 7/8 punctured convolution coding and 8 Mbps. The required SNR is increased by 4.4㏈ at this worst case.

The power control of the existing heating element has been using the On-Off control, phase control, and PWM control. In case of controlling power PTC heating element developed recently with the existing method, the temperature is unable to be precisely controlled or the harmful electromagnetic wave to human body is generated. In this paper, We suggest the power control of PTC heating cable using variable AC Cycles. This regards the AC cycle of N as the unit of the power control. It determines On-Off for each cycle. It is the AC power control method in which it arranges the on-cycle in N cycles in the random and it supplies the current continuously. At this time. the minimal electric power amount becomes 1/N. The maximum current amount becomes 1 and sets up the number of on cycles according to the set value and can control the electric power with the step of N consistently. In the PTC heating system, we show that proposed power control method is superior in the EMI and temperature control property using MATLAB simulation, experiments and measurements.

Technically, the connotation of Typography is more than embodiments which are associated with records, keeping and expressions in languages. Therefore, it reflects a variety of social aspects based on cultures. The tendencies of modem Typography that have been confusing originate from the reaction caused by, what's called, cynical Rationalism - as a kind of characteristic. Nowadays, modem Typographic is required that it experience a new turning point with challenge and innovation. In association with the fact, it tends to be more local, compromised, dialectal, multi-cultural and anti-aesthetic. Moreover, there are multilateral tendencies concerned with generations and wealth & poverty. Consequently, the situation of modem Typographic which was regarded as an immovable role is now needed to change. The vernacular trends of Typographic changing with newer aspects is not always optimistic - it may be failure. However, at least, the experiments of it have expanded the range of modem Typographic. Therefore, the ultimate goal will be to obtain, what's called, potential data some of which are unknown to us.

A structure which transmits and receives 3 subscribers packet data through an optical splitter node in an optical subscriber network of PON wave suggested and realized. All the functions which are necessary to use PON structure such as 155.52Mb/s multiplexer/demultiplexer of down-stream signal, 25.92Mb/s multiplexer/demultiplexer of up-stream signal, frame synchronizer, and phase aligner for aligning phase of the clock and received data have been integrated within 2 ICs using CMOS technonology. TDMAtechnology was suggested for up-stream transmission. In the optical up-stream transmission of the urst signals transmissionquality degradataion by APC and AGC of optical tranceiver was observed. By compensating the degradation, more than 17dB of link budget which is enough to satisfy 11.2dBthat is required in SWAN of PON architecture has been obtained with optical transceiver whose power and sensitivity are -17dBm and -34dBm respectively.

The effect of small-scale near surface inhomogeneity on Rayleigh wave propagation and dispersion has been investigated in this study using two-dimensional FEM elastic modeling. Various inhomogeneity models with a variety of geometrical shape and embedment depth which exist in homogeneous half-space and two-layered media are considered. Results show that any near surface inhomogeneity greater than one wavelength in terms of minimum wavelength of Rayleigh wave shows dispersion characteristics. Such dispersion effect become stronger as the dimensions of the inhomogeneity increase. The effect of horizontal dimension is more dominant factor governing the dispersion characteristics than vertical dimension. However, the dispersion effect can not be identifiable in seismogram if the horizontal dimension is not wide enough. Nonetheless, even in this case, the existence of inhomogeneity can be inferred by the reflection or transmission event of Rayleigh wave. The results can be expected to provide insights on the behavior of Rayleigh wave which may be helpful for designating field work or new processing scheme to detect near surface inhomogeneity by surface wave method.

This paper deals with the flow caused by a two-dimensional pulsating source, which moves with a constant horizontal speed beneath the free surface. The analysis is based on lincar potential theory including surface tension effects. In the case of subcritical reduced frequencies $\tau<1/4(\tau=U_{\omega}/g$, U=constant speed, $\omega$=circular frequency, g=gravitational acceleration), six wave components arc found. Two of them are largely affected by surface tension, which propagate ahead of the source in the direction of and opposite to the steady translation, respectively. The rest are almost identical with those found by Haskind(1954), i.e. for which the surface tension effect is negligible. For low oscillation frequencies, the resonant frequency still exists at $\tau$ only slightly greater than 1/4. For oscillation frequencies greater than $\nu(={\omega}^2/g)>20$, the surface tension effect is so significant that it disperses generated waves and consequently the singular phenomenon is removed. However, in addition to the gravity breaking, capillary breakings occur when the translation speed coincides with the minimum capillary celerity.

2008년부터 2012년에 걸친 관측기간 동안 총 21일간 관측하여 AA UMa의 BVRI 광도 곡선을 획득하였다. AA UMa의 I 필터 광도 곡선은 이번에 처음으로 얻어진 것이다. 또한 극심시각을 추가적으로 획득하기 위하여 2005 ~ 2008년까지 총 8일간 AA UMa의 극심 부근의 측광관측을 수행하였고, SuperWASP에서 공개하는 AA UMa의 측광 자료를 수집하여 총 31개의 새로운 극심시각을 결정하였다. 우리의 새로운 극심시각을 포함하여 83년 동안의 AA UMa 극심시각을 수집하여 총 250개의 극심시각으로 주기 변화연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 AA UMa 계는 $3.30{\times}10^{-11}d/yr$의 영년 주기 증가 위에 58.7년의 주기적인 변화가 겹쳐 발생한다. 주기적인 변화의 원인이 제3천체에 의해 발생한다고 가정했을 때 제3천체의 최소 질량은 $0.28M_{\odot}$이다. 이전 연구자의 광도곡선(Meinunger(1976), Wang et al.(1988), Lee et al(2011))을 수집하여 우리의 광도곡선(2008, 2012)과 함께 각각 주기변화가 보정된 통일된 기산점을 사용하여 광도곡선을 분석하였다. 모든 광도곡선에서 0.75 위상에서 밝기가 더 어두워지는 O'Connell effect가 발생하였고, 일부 광도곡선은 부식에서 식의 깊이가 주식보다 깊어지는 시기를 가진다. 이는 스펙트럼 유형이 F0-F5보다 만기형 별에서 흑점이 부식의 깊이에 영향을 주어 주식보다 깊어지는 AC Boo, TY UMa 등에서 보여 지는 특징이다. 우리는 WD 프로그램을 이용하여 광도곡선 중 B-V 색지수 그래프에서 식 이외부분에서 변화가 적고 광도곡선의 O'Connell effect의 크기가 작은 2008 광도곡선으로 광도해를 결정하였다. 전형적인 TY UMa형 별과 같이, 우리의 광도해 역시 W-subtype의 결과를 나타낸다. 결정된 광도해를 다른 광도곡선에도 적용시켜 광도곡선에 나타나는 흑점의 영향을 살펴보았다. 마지막으로 주기 분석 결과와는 달리 제 3천체의 광도는 검출 되지 않았다.
