Since the progress of digital medical imaging techniques, it has been needed to compress the variety of medical images. In medical imaging, reversible compression of image's region of interest (ROI) which is diagnostically relevant is considered essential. Then, improving the global compression rate of the image can also be obtained by separately coding the ROI part and the remaining image (called background). For this purpose, the present work proposes an efficient reversible discrete cosine transform (RDCT) based embedded image coder designed for lossless ROI coding in very high compression ratio. Motivated by the wavelet structure of DCT, the proposed rearranged structure is well coupled with a lossless embedded zerotree wavelet coder (LEZW), while the background is highly compressed using the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) technique. Results coding shows that the performance of the proposed new coder is much superior to that of various state-of-art still image compression methods.

본 연구에서는 먼저 지표면을 비롯하여 구조물 곳곳에 가속도계가 설치된 깊은 직접기초 구조물 2개를 선정하였다. 이어서 구조물에 기록된 실지진 데이터를 사용하여 주파수 영역에서 Transmissibility 함수를 사용하는 기법으로 기초 위치에서와 자유지표면에서의 지반운동 사이의 차이를 산정하였고 실지진기록을 사용하여 산정된 이 변환함수를 기존의 간편식과 비교하여 검증하였다. 비록 강성 기초저면, 연직으로 전파되는 지반운동을 가정하는 간편식의 전제조건은 실제 조건과 차이가 있지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 실지진기록으로부터 산정된 변환함수와 매우 양호한 유사성을 보여주므로 간편식을 설계실무에서 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Although the object detection accuracy with a single image has been significantly improved with the advance of deep learning techniques, the detection accuracy for pig monitoring is challenged by occlusion problems due to a complex structure of a pig room such as food facility. These detection difficulties with a single image can be mitigated by using a video data. In this research, we propose a method in pig detection for video monitoring environment with a static camera. That is, by using both image processing and deep learning techniques, we can recognize a complex structure of a pig room and this information of the pig room can be utilized for improving the detection accuracy of pigs in the monitored pig room. Furthermore, we reduce the execution time overhead by applying a pruning technique for real-time video monitoring on an embedded board. Based on the experiment results with a video data set obtained from a commercial pig farm, we confirmed that the pigs could be detected more accurately in real-time, even on an embedded board.

본 논문에서는 Bare-die Chip 형태의 Drive amplifier를 Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF)와 FR-4로 구성된 PCB에 내장함으로써 28 GHz 대역 모듈에서 적용될 수 있는 내장형 능동소자 모듈을 구현하였다. 내장형 모듈에 사용된 유전체 ABF는 유전율 3.2, 유전손실 0.016의 특성을 가지고 있으며, Cavity가 형성되어 Drive amplifier가 내장되는 FR4는 유전율 3.5, 유전손실 0.02의 특성을 가진다. 제안된 내장형 Drive amplifier는 총 2가지 구조로 공정하였으며 측정을 통해 각각의 S-Parameter특성을 확인하였다. 공정을 진행한 2가지 구조는 Bare-die Chip의 패드가 위를 향하는 Face-up 내장 구조와 Bare-die Chip의 패드가 아래를 향하는 Face-down내장 구조이다. 구현한 내장형 모듈은 Taconic 사의 TLY-5A(유전율 2.17, 유전손실 0.0002)를 이용한 테스트 보드에 실장 하여 측정을 진행하였다. Face-down 구조로 내장한 모듈은 Face-up 구조에 비해 Bare-die chip의 RF signal패드에서부터 형성된 패턴까지의 배선 길이가 짧아 이득 성능이 좋을 것이라 예상하였지만, Bare-die chip에 위치한 Ground가 Through via를 통해 접지되는 만큼 Drive amplifier에 Ground가 확보되지 않아 발진이 발생한다는 것을 확인하였다. 반면 Bare-die chip의 G round가 부착되는 PCB의 패턴에 직접적으로 접지되는 Face-up 구조는 25 GHz에서부터 30 GHz까지 약 10 dB 이상의 안정적인 이득 특성을 냈으며 목표주파수 대역인 28 GHz에서의 이득은 12.32 dB이다. Face-up 구조로 내장한 모듈의 출력 특성은 신호 발생기와 신호분석기를 사용하여 측정하였다. 신호 발생기의 입력전력(P_in)을 -10 dBm에서 20 dBm까지 인가하여 측정하였을 때, 구현한 내장형 모듈의 이득압축점(P_1dB)는 20.38 dB으로 특성을 확인할 수 있었다. 측정을 통해 본 논문에서 사용한 Drive amplifier와 같은 Bare-die chip을 PCB에 내장할 때 Ground 접지 방식에 따라 발진이 개선된다는 것을 검증하였으며, 이를 통해 Chip Face-up 구조로 Drive amplifier를 내장한 모듈은 밀리미터파 대역의 통신 모듈에 충분히 적용될 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.

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.

Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC) technology is a promising technology to integrate many devices in a module by embedding passive components. For the module substrate, most LTCC structures have dielectric constants below 10 to reduce signal delay time. Some components, which need high dielectric constants, have not been yet embedded in LTCC module. So, embedding capacitor with high capacitance by applying another dielectrics with high dielectric constants in LTCC is an important issue to maximize circuit density in LTCC module. In this study, electrical properties of embedded capacitor fabricated by dielectric paste of high dielectric constants (K-100) and co-firing behavior with LTCC were investigated. To prevent camber development of co-fired structure, constrained sintering process was tested. Dielectric properties of embedded capacitors were calculated from their capacitance and impedance value. Temperature coefficient of capacitance were also measured.

Based on the strain gradient theory (SGT), vibration analysis of an embedded micro cylindrical shell reinforced with agglomerated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is investigated. The elastic medium is simulated by the orthotropic Pasternak foundation. The structure is subjected to magnetic field in the axial direction. For obtaining the equivalent material properties of structure and considering agglomeration effects, the Mori-Tanaka model is applied. The motion equations are derived on the basis of Mindlin cylindrical shell theory, energy method and Hamilton's principal. Differential quadrature method (DQM) is proposed to evaluate the frequency of system for different boundary conditions. The effects of different parameters such as CNTs volume percent, agglomeration of CNTs, elastic medium, magnetic field, boundary conditions, length to radius ratio and small scale parameter are shown on the frequency of the structure. The results indicate that the effect of CNTs agglomeration plays an important role in the frequency of system so that considering agglomeration leads to lower frequency. Furthermore, the frequency of structure increases with enhancing the small scale parameter.

This paper deals with nonlinear dynamic stability of embedded piezoelectric nano-composite separators conveying pulsating fluid. For presenting a realistic model, the material properties of structure are assumed viscoelastic based on Kelvin-Voigt model. The separator is reinforced with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) which the equivalent material properties are obtained by mixture rule. The separator is surrounded by elastic medium modeled by nonlinear orthotropic visco Pasternak foundation. The separator is subjected to 3D electric and 2D magnetic fields. For mathematical modeling of structure, three theories of classical shell theory (CST), first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and sinusoidal shear deformation theory (SSDT) are applied. The differential quadrature method (DQM) in conjunction with Bolotin method is employed for calculating the dynamic instability region (DIR). The detailed parametric study is conducted, focusing on the combined effects of the external voltage, magnetic field, visco-Pasternak foundation, structural damping and volume percent of SWCNTs on the dynamic instability of structure. The numerical results are validated with other published works as well as comparing results obtained by three theories. Numerical results indicate that the magnetic and electric fields as well as SWCNTs as reinforcer are very important in dynamic instability analysis of structure.
