Short inversion time inversion recovery (STIR) is widely used for spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) because the pulse sequence of STIR is insensitive to magnetic field inhomogeneity and can be used to scan a large field of view. In this case report, we present a case of spinal epidural hematoma with unexpected signal decrease on a STIR image. The MRI showed an epidural mass that appeared with high signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images. However, a signal decrease was encountered on the STIR image. This nonspecific decrease of signal in tissue with a short T1 relaxation time that is similar to that of fat (i.e., hemorrhage) could lead to a diagnostic pitfall; one could falsely diagnose this decrease of signal as fat instead of hemorrhage. Awareness of the nonselective signal suppression achieved with STIR pulse sequences may avert an erroneous diagnosis in image interpretation.

본 논문에서는 FPGA와 Nor-Flash를 사용하여 컬러 라인 스캔 카메라를 위한 고속 신호처리 하드웨어 시스템을 구현하였다. 기존의 시스템에서는 소프트웨어를 기반으로 한 고속 DSP가 적용되어 왔고 주로 RGB 개별 논리에 의해 결함을 검출하는 방법이었지만 본 논문에서는 RGB-HSL 변환기, FIFO, HSL 풀-컬러 결함 디코더 및 이미지 프레임 버퍼로 구성된 하드웨어 기반의 결함 검출기를 제안하였다. 결함 검출기는 RGB에서 HSL로의 색상 공간 변환을 위한 하드웨어 기반 룩업테이블과 4K HSL 풀-컬러 결함 디코더로 구성되어 있다. 또한 단일 라인 데이터 기반의 로컬 픽셀 처리 대신 2차원 배열 구조의 이미지 단위 처리를 위해 라인 데이터 축적용 이미지 프레임을 포함한다. 설계된 시스템을 기존의 곡물 선별기에 적용하여 땅콩을 대상으로 선별해 본 결과 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

측면주사소나 영상의 화질은 소나 운용 주파수의 영향을 받는다. 저주파 측면주사소나 장비로 얻는 영상은 저화질 영상이며, 잡음이 화질 저하의 요소 중 하나가 된다. 균일한 잡음을 가정하는 광학 영상과는 달리. 측면주사소나 데이터의 잡음은 해양 환경(장비 소음, 신호 간섭 등)에 의해 발생한다. 또한 소나 신호의 전달 손실을 보상하고자 시간변환이득(Time-Varied Gain, TVG)을 수행하며, 이로 인해 측면주사소나 영상에 비균일 잡음이 생성된다. 본 논문에서는 측면주사소나 영상에 포함된 비균일 잡음을 제거하는 구조적 희소성에 기반한 압축 센싱 알고리즘 (Structural Sparsity based Compressive Sensing, SSCS)을 제안한다. 영상의 구조적 특징 도메인에서 국부적 및 비국부적 모델링을 동시에 구현하여 계수의 희소성을 보장하면서 비국부적 자가 유사성을 강화한다. 그리고 잡음의 비균일성을 고려하여 비국부적 모델링을 보상한다. 다양한 모의 실험을 통해 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 입증한다.

A novel nondestructive testing (NDT) system, which is able to detect a crack with high speed and high spatial resolution, is urgently required for inspecting small cracks on express train wheels. This paper proposes a high speed scan type magnetic camera, which uses the multiple amplifying circuits and the crack indicating pulse output system. The linearly integrated Hall sensors are arrayed in parallel, and the Hall voltages from each sensor in the scanning direction are obtained and amplified. High-speed NDT can be achieved by using the exclusive analog-digital converter and micro-processor because the ${\partial}\;V_H/\;{\partial}$ x value, which provides the most important crack information, can be obtained by buffering and calculating. The effectiveness of the novel method was verified by examine using cracks on the wheel specimen model.

In this paper the optimized overlap driving scheme for improving the reduction problem of the operating voltage range occured by the overlap driving scheme proposed precedently and increasing the contrast ratio of screen image in the simple matrix LCDs is proposed. The characteristic estimation of the proposed method was performed in a condition that the number of scan electrodes was 120 and the threshold voltage of LC pixel was 2V and the overlap rate of scan signal was varied from 0% to 40% . As a result of estimation compared with the overlap driving scheme proposed precedently, this new method was certified as a method which it could increase the operating voltage range of the LC pixel by 16% in 20% overlap condition and it's operating voltage range was also increased very much with the increase of the overlap rate. Consequently this newly proposed method was certified as a method which it could maintain the improvement effect of the operating characteristics obtained by the overlap driving scheme proposed precedently with the big improvement in the contrast ratio of screen image.

In this paper, we propose a robust watermarking technique that accepts time scaling, pitch shift, add noise and a lot of lossy compression such as MP3, AAC, WMA. The technique is developed based on digital filtering. Being designed according to critical band of HAS (human auditory system), the digital filters nearly affect audio quality. Furthermore, before implementing digital filtering, wavelet transform decomposes the audio signal into several signals that is composed of specific frequencies. Designed digital filters scan the decomposed signal. The designed digital filter, band-stop filter, distorts and eliminates specific frequencies of audio signals. Watermarking detection can be accomplished by FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). Firstly, segments of audio signal are transformed by FFT. Then, the obtained amplitude spectrum by FFT is summed repeatedly. Finally the watermark detector can find filters used to watermark encoding based on eliminating frequencies. The suggested technique can embed 4bits/s in a robust manner.

발전 및 산업설비에 사용되는 많은 압력용기는 저합금강을 사용하여 제작되고 있다. 압력용기의 내면은 부식이 미치는 영향을 최소화하기 위하여 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강으로 덧살용접을 하고 있으나, 용접층간의 계면에서 발생하고 있는 박리균열은 압력용기의 신뢰성에 중요한 변수가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 DSP를 사용하여 오버레이 용접부를 고속으로 검사할 수 있는 C-scan 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 신호 처리부 (오실로스코프, 펄서/리시버, 디지타이저, DSP), 스캐너, 프로그램 및 위치 제어부로 구성되어 있다. 개발된 시스템을 사용하여 실제 오버레이 용접부에 대한 초음파검사를 실시한 결과 고속으로 신뢰성 높은 검사결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

IEEE 1149.1 바운다리스캔은 보드 수준에서 고장점검 및 진단을 위한 테스트 설계기술이다. 그러나, 바운다리스캔 제어기의 특성상 테스트 패턴의 주입에서 관측까지 2.5 TCK가 소요되므로, 연결선상의 지연고장을 점검할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 UpdateDR 신호를 변경하여, 테스트 패턴 주입에서 관측까지 1 TCK가 소요되게 함으로써, 지연고장 점검을 가능하게 하는 기술을 소개한다. 나아가서, 정적인 고장점검을 위한 테스트 패턴을 개선해 지연고장 점검까지 가능하게 하는, N개의 net에 대한 2 log(n+2) 의 새로운 테스트패턴도 제안한다. 설계와 시뮬레이션을 통해 지연고장 점검이 가능함을 확인하였다.Abstract IEEE 1149.1 Boundary-Scan is a testable design technique for the detection and diagnosis of faults on a board. However, since it takes 2.5TCKs to observe data launched from an output boundary scan cell due to inherent characteristics of the TAP controller, it is impossible to test delay defects on the interconnect nets. This paper introduces a new technique that postpones the activation of UpdateDR signal by 1.5 TCKs while complying with IEEE 1149.1 standard. Furthermore we have developed 2 log(n+2) , where N is the number of nets, interconnect test patterns to test delay faults in addition to the static interconnect faults. The validness of our approach is verified through the design and simulation.

A computer controlled 5 axis ultrasonic testing system is developed in order to detect flaws in special parts with complex shape. The various kinds of ultrasonic test can be performed automatically using computer program which was developed by DHI(Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd.). By use of this computer program, the detector location can be programed and the amplitude signal of echo can be processed digitally. The test results can be plotted graphically on a high resolution display monitor in real time base. The test data can be also saved in magnetic memory devices(HDD or FDD) as well as in the form of hard copy through color printer. The computer software contains c- scan, c+a scan processing programs as well as statistical analysis for test data.

As an attempt to further improve the reliability and effectiveness of ultrasonic testing (UT), a two-dimensional numerical simulator of UT was developed. The simulator models the wave medium (or test object) using the mass-spring lattice model (MSLM) that consists of mass-points and springs. Some previous simulation results, obtained by using MSLM, are briefly reviewed in this paper, for propagation, reflection, and scattering of ultrasonic waves. Next, the models of transmitting and receiving piezoelectric transducers are introduced with some numerical results, which is a main focus of this paper. The UT simulator, established by combining the transducer models with the MSLM, was used to simulate many UT setups. In this paper, two simple setups are considered as examples, and their simulated A-scan signals are discussed. The potential of the MSLM, transducer models, and the UT simulator developed in this study to be used in the actual UT is confirmed.
