TFD is a transcription factor database which consists of short functional DNA sequences called as signals and their references. SIGNAL SCAN, developed by Dan S. Prestridge, is used to determine what signals of TFD may exist in a DNA sequence. This program searches TFD database by using a simple algorithm for character string comparison. We developed TFSCAN that aims at searching for signals in an input DNA sequence more efficently than SIGNAL SCAN. Our algorithms consist of two parts, one constructs an automata by scanning sequences of rFD, the other searches for signals through this automata. Searching for signal-related references is radically improved in time by using an indexing method. Usage of TFSCAN is very simple and its output is obvious. We developed and installed a TFSCAN input form and a CGI program in GINet Web server, to use TFSCAN. The algorithm applying automata showed drastical results in improvement of computing time. This approach may apply to recognizing several biological patterns. We have been developing our algorithm to optimize the automata and to search more sensitively for signals.

스캔 테스트 기법은 효과적인 테스트 성능 향상 기법이지만, 이를 위한 테스트 수행 시간이 너무나 길어진다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 동일한 테스트 입력을 이용하는 Illinois 스캔 기법을 기반으로 한 효율적인 스캔 테스트 기법을 제안한다. 제한하는 방안은 다수의 스캔 입력에 선택적으로 접근하여 다중 스캔 기법의 효과를 최대한으로 이용한다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 방안이 입력을 공유하기 위한 효율을 극대화 하여 매우 적은 테스트 시간과 테스트 데이터만을 필요로 함을 보여준다.

In the conventional digital ultrasound scanner, the reflected signal is sampled either in polar coordinates of R-$\theta$ method, or in Cartesian coordinates of uniform ladder algorithm (ULA). The R-$\theta$ scan method necessitates a coordinate transform process which makes hardware complex in comparison with ULA scan mrthoA In spite of this complexity, R-$\theta$ method has a good resolution in ultrasonographic (US) image, since scan direction of the US imaging is a radial direction. In this paper, a new digital scan converter is proposed, which is named the radius uniform ladder algorithm (RULA). The RULA has the rome scan direction as the US scanning in the radial direction and as the display space in the $\theta$ direction. In tllis new approach, sampled points we uniformly distributed in each horizontal line i.n well as in each radial ray so that the data are displayed in the Cartesian coordinates by the 1-D interpolation process. The propped algorithm has an uniform resolution in the periphery and the center field in comparison with equi-angle ULA and equi-interval ULA. To extend the scan angle, concentric square raster sampling (CSRS) is adopted with reduction of discontinuities on the junctions between horizontal scan and vertical scan. The discontinuities are reduced by using the hmction filtering along the $\theta$ direction.

This paper describes the design principles and methods of electronic processor for thermal imager with the SPRITE detector, operating in the 8-12 micron band. The thermal imager consists of a optical scanner containing the detector and an electrical signal processor. The optical scanner utilizing rotating polygon and oscillating mirror, is 2-dimensional serial/parallel scan type using 5 elements of the detector. And the electronic processor has pre-processing of 5 chnanel's thermal signal from the detector, and performs digital scan conversion to reform the parallel data stream into serial analog data compatible with conventional RS-170 video. Through the designed electronic processor, we have acquired a satisfactory thermal image. And the MRTD (Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference) is 0.5$^{\circ}$K at 7.5 cycles/mm.

There are many testable design techniques, among which Scan path and BIST techniques are mainly used. In this paper, the increase of design effectiveness is discussed, when these techniques are applied to the practical implementation of chips. The following techniques are presented : 1) Blocks are commonly used to reduce test time without hardware increase, 2) MUX is used to implement the shortest Scan path, 3) Scan register is used which controls and/or observes several blocks to avoid the increase of hardware.

In recent years, medical image diagnosis has growing significant momentous in the medicinal field. Brain and lung image of patient are distorted with salt and pepper noise is caused by moving the head and chest during scanning process of patients. Reconstruction of these images is a most significant field of diagnostic evaluation and is produced clearly through techniques such as linear or non-linear filtering. However, restored images are produced with smaller amount of noise reduction in the presence of huge magnitude of salt and pepper noises. To eliminate the high density of salt and pepper noises from the reproduction of images, a new efficient fuzzy based median filtering algorithm with a moderate elapsed time is proposed in this paper. Reproduction image results show enhanced performance for the proposed algorithm over other available noise reduction filtering techniques in terms of peak signal -to -noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), image enhancement factor (IMF) and structural similarity (SSIM) value when tested on different medical images like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) scan brain image and CT scan lung image. The introduced algorithm is switching filter that recognize the noise pixels and then corrects them by using median filter with fuzzy two-sided π- membership function for extracting the local information.

A rotational pulse-echo ultrasonic propagation imager that can inspect cylindrical specimens for material nondestructive evaluations is proposed herein. In this system, a laser-generated ultrasonic bulk wave is used for inspection, which enables a clear visualization of subsurface defects with a precise reproduction of the damage shape and size. The ultrasonic waves are generated by a Q-switched laser that impinges on the outer surface of the specimen walls. The generated waves travel through the walls and their echo is detected by a Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) at the same point. To obtain the optimal Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the measured signal, the LDV requires the sensed surface to be at a right angle to the laser beam and at a predefined constant standoff distance from the laser head. For flat specimens, these constraints can be easily satisfied by performing a raster scan using a dual-axis linear stage. However, this arrangement cannot be used for cylindrical specimens owing to their curved nature. To inspect the cylindrical specimens, a circular scan technology is newly proposed for pulse-echo laser ultrasound. A rotational stage is coupled with a single-axis linear stage to inspect the desired area of the specimen. This system arrangement ensures that the standoff distance and beam incidence angle are maintained while the cylindrical specimen is being inspected. This enables the inspection of a curved specimen while maintaining the optimal SNR. The measurement result is displayed in parallel with the on-going inspection. The inspection data used in scanning are mapped from rotational coordinates to linear coordinates for visualization and post-processing of results. A graphical user interface software is implemented in C++ using a QT framework and controls all the individual blocks of the system and implements the necessary image processing, scan calculations, data acquisition, signal processing and result visualization.
