We propose a modified stochastic gradient-based (MSGB) filter showing that the filter is the solution to an optimization problem. This paper analyzes the properties of the MSGB filter that corresponds to the nonlinear adaptive filter with additional update terms, parameterized by the variable scaling factor. The variably parameterized MSGB filter plays a role iii connecting the fixed parameterized MSGB filter and the null parameterized MSGB filter through variably scaling parameter. The stability regions and misadjustments are shown. A system identification is utilized to perform the computer simulation and demonstrate the improved performance feature of the MSGB filter.

In the present study, we determined reduction value of radiation on chest film by film method and made a reduction curves. The reduction radio in exposure to radiation was induced by comparative investigation of characteristic curves and reduction one. Basing on these result, we could reduce a radiation dose on body surface in 50% at the time of chest radiography, if 17.8mm aluminium or 0.87mm copper filter were used in addition to conventional filter at 140KV tube voltage. The present study further revealed that the additional use of the aluminium or copper filter at the time of high voltage radiography in chest facilitates to identify an image of some pathologic focus overlapping wist clavicle and ribs.

With precise GPS carrier positioning result, we can get attitude information if GPS antenna has adequate attaching position on the vehicle. In this case, baseline length information can be bandied as an additional measurement or constraint. In this paper, we have proposed a method to improve the attitude accuracy. To overcome nonlinearity of baseline observation model, we analyze attitude estimation result using existing estimation method like a least square method and Kalman filter, and apply a new nonlinear estimation method an unscented Kalman filter Finally we confirm the improvement of attitude estimation result in the case of appling the unscented Kalman filter.

The purpose of this paper is to design a DVL-RPM based VKF (Velocity Kalman Filter) design for a performance improvement underwater integrated navigation system. The proposed approach relies on a VKF, augmented by a altitude from Echo-sounder based switching architecture to yield robust performance, even when DVL (Doppler Velocity Log) exceeds the measurement range and the measured value is unable to be valid. The proposed approach relies on two parts: 1) Indirect feedback navigation Kalman filter design, 2) VKF design. To evaluate proposed method, we compare the results of the VKF aided navigation system with simulation result from a PINS (Pure Inertial Navigation System) and conventional INS-DVL method. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the underwater navigation system assisted by the additional DVL-RPM based VKF in underwater environment.

The use of electronic power unit essentially result in serious problems by harmonics. To reduce the effect by harmonics, we propose passive filter system which can control each harmonic filters individually. So, additional devices to detect and analyze harmonics were installed to filter system. According to measured data in the field, we calculated the values of filter components and verified them by computer simulation. After installation of filter system in the field, we could reduce harmonics and improve power factor.

This study proposes an input filter for a gallium-nitride-based direct matrix converter with a stepless current commutation technique. Various current commutation strategies have been adopted for reliable operation of switches. These strategies are complex to be implemented and require additional components. The stepless current commutation technique is simple to operate but causes overcurrent issues due to the occurrence of short circuit on input sources. In this study, to restrict the short circuit current, we utilized GaN devices with fast switching properties and modified the input filter. The proposed input filter was verified by experimental results of induction motor drive.

In this paper a new learning algorithm for curvature smoothing and improved generalization for multi-layer neural networks is proposed. To enhance the generalization ability a constraint term of hidden neuron activations is added to the conventional output error, which gives the curvature smoothing characteristics to multi-layer neural networks. When the total cost consisted of the output error and hidden error is minimized by gradient-descent methods, the additional descent term gives not only the Hebbian learning but also the synaptic weight decay. Therefore it incorporates error back-propagation, Hebbian, and weight decay, and additional computational requirements to the standard error back-propagation is negligible. From the computer simulation of the time series prediction with Santafe competition data it is shown that the proposed learning algorithm gives much better generalization performance.

Long-bone examination is mainly used for inspection of the lower extremities. Recently, a long length detector (FXRD-1751S, VIEWORKS, Korea) with three digital detectors attached has been developed. High energy X-rays are used because pelvic areas require high image quality. In this case, X-rays are transmitted a lot in thin areas such as an ankle, and it is not suitable for diagnosing an image. Therefore, this study use copper filters made with 3D printers to increase image quality in the Long-bone inspection. A copper filter was manufactured in consideration of the overall thickness of the lower part. The experiment was conducted in anterior-posterior (AP) and lateral (LAT) positions, depending on the presence or absence of the filter. 5x5 pixels of region of interest (ROI) were selected from the pelvis, knee, and ankle areas. X-rays were irradiated under the conditions of 70 kVp and 40 mAs for AP, 80 kVp, and 63 mAs for lat when without filters, 90 kVp and 80 mAs for AP, 90 kVp and 100 mAs for lat when with filters. signal to noise ratio(SNR) ratio and contrast to noise (CNR) values were measured 1106.38, 14.34 before applying the filter and 1189.32, 70.43 after the filter. For the knee area, 650.44, 97.61 before applying the filter, and 1013.17, 444.24 after applying the filter. For the ankle area, 206.65, 23.68 before applying the filter and 993.50, 136.11 after applying the filter. In the Long-bone examination, SNR and CNR were greatly measured when the filter was applied, confirmed the availability of using the copper additional filter.

In this paper, a new filter structure to improve frequency response characteristics in decimation filter using CIC(Cascaded Integrator-Comb) filters and half band filters is proposed. Conventional filters improve only passband characteristics, but we propose a new filter which can improve stop band and pass band characteristics simultaneously. Since proposed filter needs only two multiplication, additional implementation cost is not much. And overall linear phase characteristics are maintained since the proposed filter is also linear phase. Finally, filter coefficients quantization effects ate discussed after Verilog-HDL coding.

Tomographic examination requires several times of exposure usually, therefore, reduction of radiation dose per exposure without loss of image quality proves of great benefit to patient. We compared the exposure doses under the following experimental conditions, A and B. A is the combination of SRO 380(rare earth screen) and SRH(high contrast film) with additional Cu filters or without. B is the widely used combination which is BH-III and Cronex-4 without additional filter. As a result, comparing with the condition B, the condition A with additional filter of Cu 0.15 mm + Al 0.7 mm, Cu 0.4 mm+ Al 0.4 mm and Cu 0.8 mm showed better Image quality and lower surface dose, 44 %, 31 % and 24 % of the condition B, respectively.
