현재의 라우팅 프로토콜은 다양한 사용자 요구를 만족시켜주기 위해서는 네트워크의 처리량을 최대화하고 동시에 사용자의 요구 시 QoS를 보장해주는 기법이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 최단경로 라우팅 프로토콜은 단일경로 라우팅으로 인해 병목현상의 단점을 지니고 있다. 즉, 원천과 목적지간 최단경로는 낮은 활용도를 나타내는 경로들이 많이 존재하지만 단일경로를 선택하므로서 폭주(congestion)의 발생확률이 높다. 최근에 들어 사용자의 QoS 요구 시, 다양한 QoS를 패킷 네트워크에서 처리할 수 있도록 IETF에서 DiffServ, RSVP, MPLS 등과 같은 패킷 QoS 기법에 대한 표준화 작업이 진행중이며, 그 중에서 Diffserv 네트워크가 대표적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이 DiffServ 네트워크상에서 다양하게 유입되는 트래픽의 종류에 따라 사용자의 응용에 적절히 대응하여 트래픽을 처리하는 라우팅 기법 및 알고리즘을 연구하고 기존의 최선형 (Best effort) 트래픽을 처리하기 위한 트래픽 분산 라우팅 프로토콜 (Traffic-Balanced Rout-ing Protocol'TBRP)을 제안하였으며, 최적의 중간 노드를 선택하여 높은 순위의 상호형 데이터를 처리하기 위한 계층적 라우팅 프로토콜(또ierarchicalTra(fic-Scheduling Routing Protocol : HTSRP)을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 프로토콜은 유, 무선망의 통합에 따른 다양한 엑세스망과 백본망에 유연한 트래픽 처리기법으로서 계층적 라우팅 알고리즘으로 적합하였다. 본 실험에서는 사용자의 QoS요청 시 제공되는 상호형 또는 스트리 밍 데이터를 위한 HTSRP_Q(Hierarchical Traffic-Scheduling Routing Pro-tocol for QoS)에 대해 성능이 우수함을 입증하였으며, 각 엑세스 단에서 요청하는 QoS 파라미터에 따라 자원을 최적화하여 QoS를 보장하고, 특히 지연에 민감한 트래픽을 처리하였으며, 제안한 프로토콜을 이용하여 사용자 요구 트래픽 종류에 따라 대화형 클래스, 스트리밍 클래스, 높은 순위의 상호형 클래스, 낮은 순위의 상호형 클래스, 그리고 background 클래스등 5개의 서비스 클래스로 분리하여 트래픽 특성에 맞게 처리할 수 있었다. QoS 관련 실험에서는 QoS 요청데이터를 균등하게 1에서 10Mbps 사이에 분포하였고 연결된 호에 대한 지속시간은 5분으로 하였다. 이러한 환경에서 프로토콜을 MaRS에 의해 실험을 하였고 기존의 거리-벡터 라우팅과 링크-상태 라우팅 프로토콜과 비교해서 처리량, 메시지 손실, 블럭킹율 등에서 비교적 우위의 성능을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히, 차별화된 서비스의 특성에 맞게 라우팅 기법을 적용하므로서 망의 효율성과 안정성을 꾀할 수가 있었다. 연결 수 대 처리량에서는 HTSRP 프로토콜이 연결이 적을 때 DVR, LSR보다 우월하였으며 특히, 선형을 유지하였다. 연결 수 대 패킷 손실에서 HTSRP프로토콜에서 메시지 손실은 연결의 수가 낮거나 높을 때 다른 DVR과 LSR 라우팅 프로토콜과 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. Hotspo에서 TBRP, HTSRP프로토콜은 hotspot 연결의 수가 9일 때까지 DVR, LSR 보다 좋은 처리량를 나타냈고 HTSRP는 연결의 수가 6 이상일 때 가장 높은 처리량을 나타내었다. 일반 트래픽과 QoS 트래픽이 흔재할 경우는 트래픽이 증가할수록 HTSRP_Q가 가장 월등하였으며 , 로드가 증가할수록 낮은 블록킹률을 나타내었다. 본 논문에서는 점대점 전송을 기반으로 하였다. 앞으로 다양한 응용 S/W는 멀티캐스트 기반이 예상되므로 멀티캐스트 라우팅에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문의 프로토콜은 원천과 목적지간의 최단경로가 폭주상태가 아닌 해당 중간 노드를 이용한다. 최단경로의 모든 링크상의 트래픽 부하가 낮을 때 중간노드의 사용은 지연을 증가시킨다. 향후 최적의 성능을 위해 보완이 필요하다. 아울러, 2계위에서는 일반 트래픽과 QoS 트래픽이 혼재할 때 자동으로 네트워크의 효율적을 고려한 방법 선택이 필요하다.

This paper presents a performance estimation technique based on queuing analysis for on-chip bus matrix architectures of Multi-Processor System-on-Chips(MPSoCs). Previous works relying on time-consuming simulation are not able to explore the vast design space to cope with increasing time-to-market pressure. The proposed technique gives accurate estimation results while achieving faster estimation time than cycle -accurate simulation by order of magnitude. We consider the followings for the modeling of practical memory subsystem: (1) the service time with the general distribution instead of the exponential distribution and (2) multiple-outstanding transactions to achieve high performance. The experimental results show that the proposed analysis technique has the accuracy of 94% on average and much shorter runtime ($10^5$ times faster at least) compared to simulation for the various examples: the synthetic traces and real-time application, 4-channel DVR.

In this paper, we propose a novel architecture, which is based on DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform), for ME (Motion Estimation) and MC (Motion Compensation). The traditional algorithms of ME and MC based on DCT did not suffer the advantage of the coarseness of the 2-dimensional DCT (2-D DCT) coefficients to reduce the operational time. Therefore, we derive a recursion equation for transform-domain ME and MC and design the structure by using highly regular, parallel, and pipeline processing elements. The main difference with others is removing the IDCT block by using to transform domain. Therefore, the performance of our algorithm is more efficient in practical image processing such as DVR (Digital Video Recorder) system. We present the simulation result which is compare with the spatial domain methods. it shows reducing the calculation cost. compression ratio. and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).

This paper proposes a single-phase unified power quality conditioner (S-UPQC) for maintaining power quality issues in a microgrid. The S-UPQC can compensate the voltage and current harmonics, voltage sag, and swell as a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), regardless of variations in the grid frequency. Odd harmonics are treated as even-order harmonics in a rotating frame to implement the harmonic compensators with only one repetitive controller (RC) without any harmonic extractor. The dynamic performance is improved and the delay time is reduced in the RC. The S-UPQC control scheme is designed to maintain accurate and stable operation under deviations of the grid frequency by using the Lagrange interpolation-based finite-impulse-response (LIFIR) filter approximation method. The proposed control schemes were validated through a simulation and experiment.

The results of reoperative valve replacement can be improved if appropriate analysis for the risk of reoperation was achieved. The purpose of our study was to analyze the results of reoperations for failure of bioprosthesis, and to define the risk factors in high-risk populations for reoperative procedures. Material and Method The series of 46 consecutive patients who had undergone first reoperative replacement for failed bioprosthesis between 1993 and 2001 were reviewed retrospectively. Mean age was 42 $\pm$ 12 years, mean body surface area was 1.52 $\pm$0.15 $m^2$. The reoperative procedure comprised of 36 MVR, 8 DVR, and 2 AVR. The first operation comprised of 2 DVR, 1 AVR, and 43 MVR. Factors which were choose to assess a predictor of results in reoperative valve replacement were sex, old age(＞60 years), early age at first operation(＜30 years), long interval between first and redo operation(.15years), poor NYHA functional class(＞3), LV dysfunction(LVEF＜45%), long operation time(＞8hours), endocarditis, combined procedures, and renal insufficiency, Result : Overall mortality was 4.3%(2 cases). The risk factors that influenced postoperative complications and unexpected postoperative results were lower ejection fraction(p＝0.012), older age(p＝0.045), endocarditis(p＝0.023), long operation time above 8 hours(p＝0.027). There was no statistically significant factor influencing hospital mortality. Conclusion : No factor influenced the mortality. Better results could be achieved if reoferation was performed carefully in poor left ventricular function, old aged patient, and with endocarditis. Effort to shorten the operation time would be helpful on postoperative results.

Background: The St. Jude Medical prosthesis is one of the popularly used artificial prosthesis, therefore the National Medical Center reports the long-term clinical results of patients who underwent prosthetic valve replacement with St. Jude medical valve for 18 years. Material and Method: Between January, 1984 and June, 2002, a series of 163 consecutive patients who had Implanted St. Jude prosthesis at the National Medical Center were reviewed. Mean age was 42.9$\pm$15.1 years and male to female ratio was 69:94. The operative procedure comprised of 87 MVR, 30 AVR, 45 DVR, and 1 TVR. The reoperative procedure comprised of 21 MVR, 2 AVR, and 14 DVR. Follow-up rate was 96.9%, and cumulative follow-up was 823.8 patient-years. Result: Early mortality rate was 7.9% (13 patients), late mortality rate was 8.7% (13 patients) and late mortality due to valve related complication was 47% (7 patients). Actual survival rate at 10 and 18 years were 91.7$\pm$2.1% and 91.0$\pm$1.9%. Linearized Incidence was as follows: thromboembolism, 1.09%/ patient-year; anticoagulant related hemorrhage, 0.36%/patient-year; valve thrombosis, 0.24%/patient-year; paravalvular leakage, 0.12%/patient-year; and prosthetic bacterial endocarditis, 0.12%/patient-year linearized incidence of over all valve related complication was 1.94%/patient-year. Freedom from valve related complication at 10 and 18 years were 89.1$\pm$3.3% and 88.4$\pm$3.9%. Freedom from valve related death at 10 and 18 years were 95.1$\pm$1.2% and 95.1$\pm$1.0%. Valve related complication was related the age of patient, especially anticoagulant related hemorrhage was more common in patients over 60 years of age. Valve related complication, death were higher in DVR than AVR or MVR, and valve related death was higher in reoperation. There was no relationship between valve related complication or death and implant valve of size. Conclusion: The long-term clinical results of patients implanted with St. Jude Mechanical prosthesis was quite satisfactory with a low incidence of valve related complication and mortality.

Let R be a Krull ring with the unique regular maximal ideal M. We show that R has a regular prime element and reg-$dimR=1{\Leftrightarrow}R$ is a factorial ring and reg-$dim(R)=1{\Rightarrow}M$ is invertible ${\Leftrightarrow}R{\varsubsetneq}[R:M]{\Leftrightarrow}M$ is divisorial ${\Leftrightarrow}$ reg-$htM=1{\Rightarrow}R$ is a rank one discrete valuation ring. We also show that if M is generated by regular elements, then R is a rank one discrete valuation ring ${\Rightarrow}$ R is a factorial ring and reg-dim(R)=1.

This paper describes the development of a high-performance single-phase line-interactive Dynamic voltage Restorer, which is composed of an H-bridge inverter and super-capacitors. The operational feasibility was verified through computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software, and experimental works with 3kVA prototype. The developed system can compensates the input voltage sag and interruption within 2ms, in which the maximum allowable duration of voltage interruption is 1.5 seconds. The developed system has a simple structure to be easily implemented with commercially available components and to be highly reliable in operation.

최근 영상 데이터를 사용하여 서비스를 하는 분야가 늘어감에 따라 그 중 보안과 관련하여 영상데이터 내에 존재하는 객체를 추출하여 추적하는 방법에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 발전하고 있다. 최근에는 프레임버퍼링을 사용하여 초당 30프레임 이상의 영상을 처리하는 경우가 많다. 하지만 영상을 통한 객체 추적의 경우 빠르게 객체를 인지하여 움직임을 추적할 수 있는 기술이 드물다. 본 논문에서는 저속 처리되는 문제를 극복하기 위하여 프레임 버퍼링을 사용하여 객체를 추적할 때 차영상의 히스토그램을 사용할 것을 제안한다. 이에 따라 히스토그램을 사용하는 객체추적 시스템을 설계 및 구현하고, 본 추적능력을 검증한 결과 2배에 가까운 성능이 향상됨을 얻었다.

Background: Primary goal of anticoagulation treatment in patients with mechanical heart valve is the effective prevention of thromboembolism and safe avoidance of bleeding as well. Material and Method: Two-hundred and nine patients with the St. Jude Medical prosthesis operated on between 1984 and 1995, for mitral(MVR 122), aortic(AVR 39) and double mitral and aortic valve replacement(DVR 48) respectively, were studied on the practically achieved levels of anticoagulation and the clinical outcomes. Patients were on Coumadin and followed up by monthly visit to outpatient clinic for examination and prothrombin time measurement to adjust the International Normalized Ratios(INRs) within the low-intensity target range between 1.5 and 2.5. Result: A total anticoagulation follow-up period was 1082.0 patient- years(mean 62.1 months) and INRs of 10,205 measurements were available for evaluation. The accomplished INRs among the replacement groups were not significantly different and only 65% of INRs were within the target range. And, in individual patients, only 37% of patients had INRs included within the target range in more than 70% of tests during follow-up period. The levels of INRs in patients with atrial fibrillation, which was found in 57% of patients, were definitely higher than the ones measured in patients with regular rhythm(p<0.001). Thromboembolisms were experienced by 15 patients with the incidence of 1.265%/patient- year(MVR 1.412%, AVR 0.462% and DVR 1.531%/patient-year) and major bleeding by 4 patients with the incidence of 0.337%/patient-year(MVR 0.424%, AVR none and DVR 0.383%/patient-year). Frequent as well as prolonged missing of prothrombin time tests was the main risk factor strongly associated with the thromboembolic complications(odds ratio 1.99). The proportion of INRs within target range of less than 60% in individual patient was the highly significant risk factor of both thromboembolic and overall embolic and bleeding complications(p<0.004 and p<0.002 respectively). Conclusion: In conclusion, the low-intensity therapeutic target range of INRs was adequate in patients with AVR and in sinus rhythm. However, the patients with replacement of the mitral valve were more likely to require higher target range of INRs, especially in the presence of atrial fibrillation, to achieve the practical levels of anticoagulation enough to prevent thromboembolic complications effectively. For the higher therapeutic target range of INRs between 2.0∼3.0, further accumulation of clinical evidences are required. It is highly desirable to improve the patients' compliance under continuous instructions in visiting outpatient clinic and in taking daily Coumadin without omission and to keep INRs consistently within optimal range with tight control for minimization of chances and of periods of exposure to the risk of complications. And, particularly, patients with high risk of complications and with wide fluctuation of INRs should be better managed with frequent monitoring anticoagulation levels.
