This paper presents an experimental measurement system for 3-6 GHz microwave tomography (MT) of the breast. The measurement system is constructed as a minimal test bed to verify key components such as the sensing antennas, radio frequency (RF) transceiver, sensing mechanism, and image reconstruction method for our advanced MT system detecting breast cancer at an early stage. The test bed has eight RF channels operating at 3 to 6 GHz for high spatial resolution and a two-axis scanning mechanism for three-dimensional measurement. The measurement results from the test bed are shown and discussed.

As the next-generation video coding standard, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has adopted advanced coding tools despite the increase in computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a selective bi-prediction method to reduce the encoding complexity of HEVC. The proposed method evaluates the statistical property of the sum of absolute differences in the motion estimation process and determines whether bi-prediction is performed. A performance comparison of the complexity reduction is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to the HEVC test model version 4.0. On average, 50% of the bi-prediction time can be reduced by the proposed method, while maintaining a negligible bit increment and a minimal loss of image quality.

The polymer encapsulation of white inorganic $TiO_2$ pigment particles was prepared by a two stage dispersion polymerization technique for applications in electrophoretic displays (EPDs). In order to give functionality for inorganic pigment particles in the EPD, we have investigated the density of the polymer encapsulated $TiO_2$ particles. The average density of the polymer encapsulated $TiO_2$ particles was 2.2 at 25$^{\circ}C$. The average density of the polymer encapsulated $TiO_2$ particles is suitable to 1.7, due to density matching with suspending media. Therefore, we will attempt density compatibility of dispersion polymerization technique for encapsulation of $TiO_2$ particles in suspending media.

In this study, we have investigated a simple process of preparation of white pigment particles by physical coating with functionalized wax for the electrophoretic display. We will discuss, especially, the implementation of bistable pigment providing high mobility by using unique charge control agent and also optical properties of wax coated $TiO_2$ particles.

본 논문은 객체 관계형 실시간 DBMS인 Tachyon의 특성 및 구조에 관한여 기술한다. Tachyon은 전전자 교환기용 관계형 DBMS인 DREAM-S의 개발 경험을 바탕으로 개발된 객체 관계형 DBMA이고, 고성능 데이터 처리를 위한 주기억 장치 상주 DBMS이며, 우선순위 기반의 스케쥴링과 연성 데드라인(soft-deadline) 트랜잭션을 처리하는 실시간 DBMS이다. Tachyon은 객체지향 질의를 통한 융통성 있는 데이터 조작이 가능하며, 다중 사용자 환경에서 항상 데이터의 일관성을 유지하고, 고신뢰 시스템을 위한 이중화 구조의 지원 및 데이터 백업/복구 등의 종합적인 데이터베이스 관리를 제공한다. 현재 Tachyon은 DREAM-S와 더불어 초고속정보통신망에서의 백본 교환기 시스템의 DBMS로 활용될 예정이다.

The DRM+ is the newest digital radio standard for in-band environment. Although various state of the art technologies are adopted, the performance evaluation information is not sufficient. It is hard that many countries and stations considering the DRM+ as their digital radio standard check the performance of DRM+. To evaluate the performance of the DRM+ system, this paper depicts the laboratory trial results of DRM+ standard. In the laboratory trial, the rack type DRM+ test bed is built. To reflect the practical broadcasting environment, various tests are executed. Many countries and stations can efficiently use these test results, which are considering converting their analog radio broadcasting to digital broadcasting.

In this paper, we present an interactive data broadcasting system compliant with the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standards. The proposed system provides users not only with various data broadcasting services but also remote interactive services. For various data broadcasting services, we have adopted a synchronized data injector that calculates the transmission time of synchronized data accurately and multiplexes synchronized data with the data of an MPEG-2 audio-visual program according to the calculated transmission time. To support remote interactive services, we designed and implemented a return channel server connected on a bi-directional interaction channel. Test results show that the proposed system provides both an asynchronous and synchronized data broadcasting service and remote interactive service appropriately.

A phased array antenna was fabricated using four-element ferroelectric phase shifters with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line structure based on a $Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}TiO_3(BST)/MgO$ structure. Epitaxial BST films were deposited on MgO (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. To attain the large differential phase shift and small losses for a ferroelectric CPW phase shifter, an impedance-matching-part adding technique between the effective transmission line and connecting cable was used. The return loss and insertion loss for this techniqueadapted BST CPW device were improved with respect to those for a normal BST CPW device. For an X-band phased array antenna system consisting of ferroelectric BST CPW phase shifters, power divider, dc block, patch antenna, and programmed dc power, the steering beam could be tilted by $15^{\circ}$ in either direction.

In this paper, we define the general requirements of ATM switching systems such as scalability, distributed fashion, and modularity. Also we propose a practical implementation of a scalable ATM switching system whose capacity can be easily expanded. Firstly, the architecture of the system is discussed with an emphasis on system scalability, modularity of subsystems and the simple control network of the design requirements. Secondly, we suggest the three types of distributed call/connection control schemes that are suitable for our switching system. We also estimate their call processing capacity on the average and make a comparison of them under the various system architectures. Since our scalable switching system can be constructed to perform the call processing functions on the various levels of the system capacity, it has much adaptability at the various evolution phases or regions of the network environment.

In this paper, we present three kinds of development support systems (test and evaluation systems), which are developed to fulfill the specific needs in accordance with the CDMA Mobile System (CMS) developmental phases. The support systems consist of the mobile switch traffic simulator (MSTS), the mobile call simulator (MCS), and the CDMA mobile system analysis tools (CSAT). The MSTS is used for the simulation of the base station in the stage of development of the mobile exchange, and the MCS is used for the overall performance test of the CMS. The CSAT is used for the CMS performance evaluation. These systems have been used for the CMS development successfully.
