Ricci curvature for locally finite graphs, as proposed by Lin, Lu and Yau, provides a useful isomorphism invariant. A Matching Condition was introduced as a key tool for computation of this Ricci curvature. The scope of the Matching Condition is quite broad, but it does not cover all cases. Thus the current paper introduces extended versions of the Matching Condition, and applies them to the computation of the Ricci curvature of a class of circulants determined by certain number-theoretic data. The classical Matching Condition is also applied to determine the Ricci curvature for other families of circulants, along with Cayley graphs of abelian groups that are generated by the complements of (unions of) subgroups.

In this paper, a low noise amplifier having high gain and low noise by using input and inter stage matching circuits has been designed. A current-reused two-stage common-source topology is adopted, which can obtain high gain and low power consumption. Deterioration of noise characteristics according to the source inductive degeneration matching is compensated by adopting additional matching circuits. Moreover trade-offs among noise, gain, linearity, impedance matching, and power dissipation have been considered. In this design, 0.18-mm CMOS process is employed for the simulation. The simulated results show that the designed low noise amplifier can provide high power gain and low noise characteristics.

Motion estimation plays an important role for video coding. In this paper, we derive optimal search patterns for fast block matching motion estimation. By analyzing the block matching algorithm as a function of block shape and size, we can find an optimal search pattern for initial motion estimation. The proposed idea, which has been verified experimentally by computer simulations, can provide an analytical basis for the current MPEG-2 proposals. In order to choose a more compact search pattern for BMA, we exploit the statistical relationship between the motion and the frame difference of each block.

In this work we develop an equivalent circuit model of TCP(transformer coupled plasma) source and investigate matching characteristic. The developed circuit model includes transmission line, standard-type impedance matching network and displacement current in the plasma source. The impedance of TCP is calculated by previously developed program for various source parameters and dependance of components of matching impedance on the value of source impedance is investigated.

This paper presents a fast block-matching algorithm based on the normalized cross-correlation, where the elimination order is determined based on the gradient magnitudes of subblocks in the current macroblock. Multilevel Cauchy-Schwartz inequality is derived to skip unnecessary block-matching calculations in the proposed algorithm. Also, additional complexity reduction is achieved re-using the normalized cross correlation values for the spatially neighboring macroblock because the search areas of adjacent macroblocks are overlapped. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the speed-up ratio up to about 3 times in comparison with the existing algorithm.

영상의 저 비트 변환 기반의 비트 플레인 정합방법(Bit-Plane Matching : BPM)은 기존의 블록 정합 방법들과 비교해 계산량을 줄이고 간단한 하드웨어 구조 설계를 통해 블록 정합 결과를 획득할 수 있지만, 블록 정합의 정확도가 비교적 낮은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 BPM방법들과 비교해 블록 정합의 정확도를 증가시키면서 동시에 논리 연산으로 정합 결과를 계산할 수 있는 저 비트 변환 기반의 절대 오차합(Reduced-bit transform based Sum of Absolute Difference : R-SAD)을 이용한 블록 정합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 방법은 현재 영상과 참조영상을 각각 2-bit의 영상으로 변환하고, 2-bit의 4레벨에 대한 입출력 관계를 이용하여 진리표를 획득한다. 진리표는 Karnaugh map을 통해 간소화 되어 논리 연산으로 절대 오차를 계산할 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 성능 평가를 위한 움직임 보상(Motion Compensation) 실험에서, R-SAD는 기존의 블록 정합 방법들과 비교해 높은 정확도의 정합결과를 획득할 수 있었다.

최근 스테레오 정합 기술은 정합하고자 하는 픽셀을 포함한 국부적인(local) 영상의 정합 비용과 시차의 변화 비용을 누적하는 전역적(global)인 방법을 많이 사용하고 있다. 특히 전역적 스테레오 정합에서도 비용누적 (cost accumulation)의 방향을 일반적인 수평방향이 아닌 다수의 방향을 사용하는 연구가 늘고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 스테레오 정합 기술을 다중 방향성 정합 기술로 확장하는 방법을 제안한다. 픽셀의 국부적인 정합 비용은 단순한 NCC (Normalized Cross Correlation)를 사용하였고 전역적 정합 기술의 하나인 정합선 최적화(Scan-line Optimization) 방법을 다중 방향으로 확장하는 기술을 제안하였다. 우선 정합선 최적화를 다중 방향으로 실행한 후 이들 결과를 이용하여 신뢰도가 높은 시차영상 (disparity image)을 획득한다. 반복적인 다중 방향 정합선 최적화 시행 후, 시차영상에서 남은 공백은 홀 복원 방법으로 계산한다. 시차가 구해진 픽셀에 대해서는 신뢰도 점수를 매긴 다음 이 점수를 확산하여 신뢰도 점수 테이블에서 가장 높은 값을 가지는 시차값으로 홀을 복원하였다. 제안하는 기술을 미들버리(Middlebury)의 스테레오 영상을 사용하여 오차를 분석하였다. 기존의 전역적 방법과 제안 기술을 이용하여 시차영상을 계산하고 그 오차를 비교하였다.

In this paper we present a new current-mode electronically tunable universal filter using only plus-type current controlled conveyors (CCCII+s) and grounded capacitors. The proposed circuit can simultaneously realize lowpass, bandpass, and highpass filter functions - all at high impedance outputs. The realization of a notch response does not require additional active elements. The circuit enjoys an independent current control of parameters $\omega_0$ and $\omega_0/Q$. No element matching conditions are imposed. Both its active and passive sensitivities are low.

In this paper, light-emitting-diode (LED) backlight driving circuits and dimming method for medium-sized and large liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are proposed. The double loop control method, the intelligent-phase-shifted PWM dimming method, the fast-switching current regulator, and the current matching techniques are proposed to improve not only the current regulation characteristics and the power efficiency but also the current matching characteristics and the transient response of the LED current. The brightness of the backlight using the proposed local dimming method was determined from the histogram of the local block to reduce the power consumption of the backlight without image distortion. The measured maximum power efficiency of the LED backlight driving circuit for medium-sized LCDs was 90%, and the simulation results showed an 88% maximum power efficiency of the LED backlight driving circuit for large LCDs. The maximum backlight power-saving ratio of the proposed dimming method was 41.7% in the simulation with a high-contrast image. The experiment and simulation results showed that the performance of LEDs as LCD backlight units (BLUs) improved with the proposed circuits and method.

In this paper, we propose a full-search block-matching algorithm with early retirement, which can be applied to a 1-D systolic array of processing elements (PE's) for fast motion estimation. In the proposed algorithm, a PE is retired when its current accumulated sum is equal to or larger than the current minimum MAD. If all PE's are retired, the MAD calculation is stopped for the current array position and is started for the next one in the search window. Simulation results show that the optimum motion vector is always found with less computation, the total computation cycles for motion estimation are decreased to about 60%, and the power dissipation in the PE's is reduced to about 40-60%.
