This is an experimental study to raise higher efficiency of filteration than conve ntional filteration by increasing of filteration capacity for per unit area and by extending of filteration lasting time with biflow filter system which was improved from the conventional rapid sand filteration method in the process of water purification treatment. In order to raise more efficient function of filteration and giving consideration to the filter layer at upper and lower parts of the filter, the fine sand & an thracite were used as a filter medium. Although there is some difficulty than previous fine sand in procurement, it could confirm that such filter medium (fine sand & anthracite) was more effective in the field of load, lasting time and back wash, etc. In consideration of practical effect of filteration. The raw water which was used for this experimental study was not coagulated. As a result of this experiment, the filteration volume could increase more than 2 times than that of conventional method. Besides, much more advantages could be obtained for instance, the requirement of installation area was not much and installation cost could economize. On the other hand, the following results were found. The quality of filtered water became worse as time goes by and the turbidity of filtered water was more influenced by raw water turbidity than by rate of filteration. Lasting time of filteration on change of filteration rate in the filter layer reached 2 times in comparison with previous filter basin, and until loss gead reached to 1.0 meter and 1.5 meter, the following relate formulas between lasting time and rate of filteration were formed. ($T_{1.5}=181.96V^{-0.46},\;T_{1.0}=121.31V^{-0.46}$) Even though the lasting time can be shorten in case of the increase of the filteration rate, but the lasting time was prolonged more than 2 times than of previous method. With taking aim at contribution to the development of water treatment technique, we are planning to study continuously for the future study basing on the results in this papers.

To identify operating parameters of the up-flow filtering system, which is available to discharge filtering residue after the rain, developed for treatment of urban storm runoff, lab scale test was carried out. Removal efficiency of SS was 68.7%, 62.2%, and 58.6% at the area roading rate of 2.46m/h, 4.68m/h, and 10m/h, respectively, filtering device is desirable to operate at the lower than 4.68m/h of area roading rate to get higher level of 60% SS removal efficiency. The removal efficiency of SS was 57.1% ~ 68.7% at the raw water SS of 100mg/L ~ 600mg/L, and the SS in treated water was maintained at the constant level through the elapsed time. It is indicate that filtering device can guarantee a certain level of effluent water quality at various raw water quality. The removal efficiency of SS to the depth of filter media was 68.3%, 78.6% at the filter depth of 10 cm, 20cm respectively. The final treated water quality was showed 30.2mg/L of CODMn, 1.60mg/L of TN and 0.25mg/L of TP. The average removal efficiencies by filtering device developed in this research were recorded slightly lower levels than other research. The main reason of these results were the first, the filter depth of the media used in this test was shallow, the second, the kind of filter media in discharge port of residue. More research to kind of filter media, filter packing rate, select of media for residue discharge port should be go on to produce optimum operating condition. The result of this study would be valuable for the application of filtration device to control of urban storm water.

As Power Line has been already installed over 60% of a residential area all over the world, Broadband Service has been possible using high-speed PLC(Power Line Communication) without new access line installed for Internet access. Because of such reason, PLC is researched as the most suitable service for Last Mile Solution. But, Power Line is designed for transmitting electric power, so peripheral Wireless Communication System is affected by a leak of electric wave. In this paper, we propose a High Performance Notch Filter algorithm in comparison with a existing notch filter for reduction of interference between existing Wireless Communication Service and Power Line Service. In addition, we implement the Notch Filter emulator appling a High Performance Notch Filter and using a embedded board.

On the purpose of conform the more stringent government regulation for turbid stormwater from construction sites, the feasibility and availability of synthetic fiber placing after the conventional protection barrier were tested in this study. Initially, comparative work on the filtering performance of fiber media and conventional gravel filter was carried out, 27% higher filtration capacity was obtained under the similar operational conditions. The filter efficiency was about 20 to 52% with a varying filter depth of 5 to 15cm, presuming at extreme storm flow conditions (800-1500 m/day of filtration rates). Fiber filter was found to have a similar filtration prosperity as grain media; namely, the separation efficiency is directly and inversely proportional to filter depth and rate, respectively. The effects of filter aid (polyaluminium chloride) on filter performance was also investigated, it greatly affected the turbidity reduction at the dosage of 2 mg/L. At the time of breakthrough, a simple filter washing was carried out, herein, the solid recovery achieved over than 88% and greatly determined by operational parameters. Based on the operational data, the empirical models aimed for predicting filtration efficiency were established, which can effectively determine the required filter depth and filtration area in field.

Cast shadow caused by an illumination condition can produce troublesome effects for face recognition system using reflectance image. Consequently, we need to separate cast shadow area from feature area for improvement of recognition accuracy. A Bilateral filter smooths image while preserving edges, by means of a nonlinear combination of nearby pixel values. Processing such characteristics, this method is suited to our purpose in illumination estimation process based on Retinex. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new illumination normalization method based on the Bilateral filter in face images. The proposed method produces a reflectance image that is preserved relatively exact cast shadow area, because coefficient of filter is designed to multiply proximity and discontinuity of pixels in input image. Performance of our method is measured by a recognition accuracy of principle component analysis(PCA) and evaluated to compare with other conventional illumination normalization methods.

Since airborne bacteria have been known to aggravate indoor air quality, studies on reducing bacteria particles increase recently. In this study, a chamber(0.8m x 0.8m x 1.56m) system was built in order to simulate real conditions for reducing airborne bacteria, and evaluated by a simple aerosol reduction test. A method utilizing CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation was used to detect the horizontal cross-sectional area which represents particle distribution in the chamber. Then an air-cleaner with HEPA filter and Carbon Fiber Ionizer was located on that area for aerosol reduction test. The CFD result found the area was located at 0.2m height from the bottom of the chamber, and the test showed aerosol reduction efficiencies using measurements of number concentration and CFU(colony forming unit) per each case. At the measurement of number concentration, the reduction efficiency of air-cleaner with filter and ionizer(Case 3) was about 90% after 4 minutes from the stop of the bacteria injection, and that with only filter(Case 2) was about 90% after 8 minutes from the beginning. Lastly, that without filter and ionizer(Case 1) was about 30% after 10 minutes. At the measurement of CFU, it shows similar results but it is related to viability of bio-aerosol.

In this paper, we propose a bone region extraction method using a snake algorithm and a particle filter in CT image. We extract the bone outline using the snake algorithm, and extract the bone area by moving the particle filter along this outline. If other bones are in close proximity to the bone outline, the snake algorithm may not be able to extract the bone outline completely. At this time, the particle filter extracts the bone area while compensating for the error. In this paper, we compared the proposed method with the conventional morphological processing method. The result is similar when other bones are not close to the bone area to be extracted. However, if other bones are close to each other, The accuracy of the proposed method is higher than the conventional morphological processing method.

A huge amount of multiplications is required for 2-D filtering on the image data, making it difficult to implement a real-time quincuncial interpolator. In this paper, efficient design technique and VLSI structures for 2-D multipleierless filter are presented. In the filter design, by introducing an efficient scheme for discretizing the frequency response of the prototype filter, it is shown that a significant amount of the computational burden required in the conventional techniques, such as local search, branch and bound techniques, could be saved. In the case of 5$\times$5 filter, it is found that the design technique described in this paper could save about 80% of the computation time, compared to the conventional methods, while providing a comparable performance. For a hardware implementation, two different VLSI structures for 2-D multiplierless filter are also introduced in the paper : One is for block parallel processing and the other for scan-line parallel processing. In both structure, the AP(area-period) figure improves over Wu's structure[4].

All the resitors in the active RC filter networks can be relplaced by the switched capacitors. Therefore, An SC filter circuit can be fully integrated using MOS technology. A switched capacitor is much better than a resistor in temperature and linearity characteristics, and the former can be fabricated on the much smaller area then the latter. In this paper, It is given the generalized disign method of the active SC filter from the active RC filter using Bilinear Z-transformation. By SC filtering Techniques using Bilinear Z-transform, It enalbes us to realize the FDNR and Gyrator filters, which could not be realized in the exsisting designs, and it permits the processing of signals at much higher frequenies that many previous designs do. Experiments show that the response of the SC active filter is similiar to that of its prototype active RC filter.
