The wrinkling in the electromagnetic tube compression with a mandrel is remarkably smaller than that of the process without it. To analyze this phenomenon, the critical forming parameters such as the ratio of the clearance to the shell radius, the ratio of the thickness to the shell radius, and the ratio of the applied pressure to the standard pressure are introduced tp consider the effect of the mandrel, in addition to those of the thickness of shell and applied loads. The amplification ratio is also used to observe the magnitude of amplification. The results obtained by 2-D finite element method show that the initial imperfection embedded in the radius of cylindrical shell is the dominant factor to determine the final shape of the tube compression, and that the amplification ratio tends to have smaller values with the smaller clearance ratio and also with the larger thickness and pressure ratios.

In this paper. we proposed a hardware(H/W) structure which can compress the video and embed the watermark in real time operation and implemented it into a FPGA platform using VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language). All the image processing element to process both compression and reconstruction in a FPGA were considered each of them was mapped into H/W with the efficient structure for FPGA. The global operations of the designed H/W consists of the image compression with the watermarking and the reconstruction, and the watermarking operation is concurrently operated with the image compression. The implemented H/W used the 59％(12943) LAB(Logic Array Block) and 9％(28352) ESB(Embedded System Block) in the APEX20KC EP20K600CB652-7 FPGA chip of ALTERA, and stably operated in the 70㎒ clock frequency over. So we verified the real time operation, 60 fields/sec(30 frames/sec).

With the increasing use of multimedia technologies, image compression requires higher performance as well as new features such as embedded Tossy to lossless coding, various progressive order, error resilience and region-of-interest coding. In the specific area of still image encoding, a new standard, the JPEG2000, has been currently developed. This paper presents a new compression scheme based on JPEG2000. In the proposed scheme, gray coding is applied to the wavelet coefficient. Since gray coding produces an image whose bit plane is will clustered. The proposed method improves compression efficiency of the JPEG2000.

In this paper, the lossy image compression algorithm using the quad tree and the bandlets is proposed. The proposed algorithm transforms input images by the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and represents the geometrical structures of high frequency bands using the bandlets with a 8 block- size. In addition, the proposed algorithm searches the position information of the significant coefficients by using the quad tree algorithm and computes the magnitude and the sign information of the significant coefficients by using the Embedded Image Coding using Zerotrees of Wavelet Coefficients (EZW) algorithm. The compression result by using the quad tree algorithm improves the PSNR performance of high frequency images up to 1 dB, compared to that of JPEG-2000 algorithm and that of S+P algorithm. The PSNR performance by using DWT and bandlets improves up to 7.5dB, compared to that by using only DWT.

MPEG-4 FGS is one of scalable video coding schemes specified In ISO/IEC 14496-2 Amendment 2, and particularly standardized as a scheme for providing fine granular quality and temporal scalabilities. In this paper, we propose a sign-bit reduction technique in embedded bit-plane coding to enhance the coding efficiency of MPEG-4 FGS system. The general structure of the FGS system for the proposed scheme is based on the standard MPEG-4 FGS system. The proposed FGS enhancement-layer encoder takes as input the difference between the original DCT coefficient and the decision level of the quantizer instead of the difference between the original DCT coefficient and its reconstruction level. By this approach, the sign information of the enhancement-layer DCT coefficients can be the same as that of the base-layer ones at the same frequency index in DCT domain. Thus, overhead bits required for coding a lot of sign information of the enhancement-layer DCT coefficients in embedded bit-plane coding can be removed from the generated bitstream. It is shown by simulations that the proposed FGS coding system provides better coding performance, compared to the MPEG-4 FGS system in terms of compression efficiency.

In this paper, we proposed a wavelet image coder based on the portable embedded microprocessor. The proposed coder stores the bit level information of the wavelet coefficient in the 2D significance array. Using this information, the coder make the significance check for coefficient and bit level scanning at the same pass. The proposed method has the advantage that we can reduce the scan iteratively and the memory usage for the coding process. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms popular image coders such as JPEG, EZW and SPIHT in based on the portable embedded system environment.

This paper has presented the efficient implementation of MPEG-4 simple profile video decoder, which is used as video compression standard in mobile video communication. We have used the ARM9 processor in implementing this MPEG-4 simple profile, which requires much processing power and low power implementation. At first we implemented with C-language under the PC environment with ADS(ARM Developer Suite) environment, and then we have tried to reduce a clock cycle for a power consumption optimization through conversion an assembly language for C-code partly. We have verified the processor is operated at 22.47MHz operation after optimization, but 148MHz before optimization.

AVLS is nowadays pretty considered on one of important parts in telematics service with a computerization of vehicle. However, with an implementation of commercial OS, individual OS and firmware on AVLS terminals, the cost and developing period are significantly increased. In this paper, we present the effective log-file creation methode about automobile status and location information within a restricted memory through designing AVLS terminals based on embedded linux. The proposed method shows 0.8% better performance on bzip2 compressor comparing to gzip compressor in the compressibility. In addition, bzip2 is faster than gzip about 2.14 times in the speed of compression.

Controller area network (CAN) was designed for multiplexing communication between electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicles and thus for decreasing the overall wire harness. The increasing number of ECUs causes the CAN bus overloaded and consequently the error probability of data transmission increases. Since the time duration for the data transmission is proportional to CAN frame length, it is desirable to reduce the frame length. In this paper, a CAN message compression method is proposed using Data Length Code (DLC) and compression area selection algorithm to reduce the CAN frame length and the error probability during the transmission of CAN messages. By the proposed method, it is not needed to predict the maximum value of the difference in successive CAN messages as opposed to other compression methods. Also, by the use of DLC, we can determine whether the received CAN message has been compressed or not without using two ID's as in conventional methods. By simulations using actual CAN data, it is shown that the CAN transmission data is reduced up to 52 % by the proposed method, compared with conventional methods. By using an embedded test board, it is shown that 64bit EMS CAN data compression can be performed within 0.16ms and consequently the proposed algorithm can be used in automobile applications without any problem.

In recent years, some modifications were introduced in the stress-strain relationship of the steel in order to develop a more efficient shear model for reinforced concrete members. The last contribution in this sense corresponding to the Refined Compression Field Theory (RCFT, 2009); this theory proposed a steel constitutive model that has account the tension stiffening area prescribed by technical codes, what simplifies all the design process. However, under certain design conditions supported by such codes, the RCFT model does not provide a real (non-complex) solution for the steel yield strain when the prescribed tension stiffening area is considered; then the load-strain response cannot be computed. In this technical note, the tension stiffening area is fixed in order to guarantee the application of the embedded steel constitutive model for all the standard design range.
