The low load power factor causes various problems such as the Increase of the power loss and the voltage instability. The demand of reactive power increases continuously with the growth of active power and the restructuring of electric power companies makes the integrated management of ractive power troublesome, from which the systematic control of load power factor is required. In this paper, the load power factor sensitivity of the generation cost and integrated costs are used for determining the locations and capacities of reactive power compensation devices effectively and for enhancing the load power factor appropriately. It is shown through the application to a small-scale power system that the system power factor can be enhanced effectively and appropriately using the load power factor sensitivity and integrated costs.

By introducing a compressive-strained quanternary InGaAsP quantum-wells instead of a conventional ternary InGaAs quantum-wells in 1.55.mu.m DFB-LD, the lasing performances canb e improved and the problems caused by the thickness non-uniformity and the compositional abruptness among the hetero-interpaces canb e relaxed. In this paper, we investigated an iptimum InGaAsP/InGaAsP multiple-quantum-well(MQW) structure as an active layer in a direct-modulated 1.55.mu. DFB-LD from the view point of threshold current, chirping charcteristics, and resonance frequency. The optimum compressive-strained MQW structure was revealed as InGaAsP/InGaAsP structure with strain amount of about 1.2%, number of wells $N_{w}$ of 7, well width $L_{w}$ of 58.agns.. The threshold current density J of 500A/c $m^{2}$, the linewidth enhancement factor a of 1.8, and differential resonance frequency of d $f_{r}$/d(I-I)$^{1}$2/=2GHz/(mA)$^{1}$2/(atI=2 $I_{th}$) were expected in 1.55.mu.m .gamma./4-shifted DFB-LD with the cavity length of 400.mu.m long and kL value of 1.25. These values are considerably improved ones compared to those of 1.55um DFB-LD with InGaAs/InGaAsP MQW which have enhancement factor and the resonance frequence frequency by the detuning of lasing wavelength and gain-peak wavelength. It was found that the linewidth enhancement factor of 20% and differential resonance frequency of 35% without the degradation of the threshold current density could be enhanced in the range of -15nm~-20nm detuning which can be realized by controlling the thickness and Incomposition of InGaAsP well. well.and Incomposition of InGaAsP well. well.

영상 강조 기법은 영상의 낮은 명암 대비(contrast)를 노이즈나 블러링(blurring)의 제거, 명암 대비의 증가, 세밀함의 확장 등을 통해 시각적으로 향상시키는 작업을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안되어 온 여러 영상 강조 기법들의 장점을 기반으로 한 Adaptive dynamic range linear stretching(ADRLS) 영상 강조 기법을 제안한다. ADRLS 기법은 입력 영상의 히스토그램 분할과 동시에 adaptive scale factor를 적용하여 다수의 서브 히스토그램을 생성하는 것에 초점을 맞추고 있으며, 생성된 서브 히스토그램은 최종적으로 선형 강조(Linear Stretching, LS) 기법이 적용되어 영상 강조를 수행하게 된다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 검증하기 위해 기존의 히스토그램 선형 강조 기법, 히스토그램 평활화(Histogram Equalization, HE) 기법과 비교 평가하였으며, 그 결과 기존의 기법들에 비해 영상의 과도한 밝기 변화를 억제함으로써 영상의 시각적인 특성을 유지하고, 입력 영상이 갖고 있는 히스토그램의 특성을 보존하는 효과를 보였다.

수중 환경에서 물과 부유물에 의한 빛의 감쇄와 산란은 수중 영상의 색상을 열화시키고 가시성을 저하시키는 주요 원인이 된다. 이러한 수중 산란광은 피사체와의 거리의 함수로 표현되므로 깊이 정보는 빛의 전달률을 계산하기 위한 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 깊이 영상을 이용하여 전달률을 측정하고 이를 기반으로 영상의 각 화소에 존재하는 산란에 의한 열화값을 제거함으로써 수중 스테레오 영상의 가시성을 개선하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 제거해야 하는 열화값이 영상의 화소값 보다 크지 않도록 보정하여 가사성 개선 시 나타날 수 있는 부분적인 영상 왜곡을 방지한다. 또한 수중 스테레오 영상의 심각한 문제점 중의 하나인 색상 불균형을 효과적으로 보정하여 가시성 개선 후 좌, 우 영상의 동일성을 유지한다. 실험 결과는 다양한 환경의 수중 영상에 대하여 제안하는 가시성 개선 후 색대비가 영상에 따라 5%에서 14%이상 향상되었음을 보여준다.

An experimental investigation was carried out for 4 different types of the aluminum foam heat sinks which were inserted into the annulus. The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of a heat sink with high performance forced convective water cooling in the annulus. The local wall temperature distribution, inlet and outlet pressures and temperatures, and heat transfer coefficients were measured for heat flux of 13.6, 18.9, 25.1, 31.4 $kW/m^2$ and Reynolds number ranged from 120 to 9,000. Experimental results show that the departure from the Darcy's law is evident from the pressure loss and the friction factor is much higher while the significant enhancement in Nusselt number is obtained, and average Nusselt number of aluminum foam with high pore density is much higher than that of aluminum foam with low pore density. Correlations for the friction factor is proposed and used for design of thermal applications.

Experimental results for forced convection condensation of Refrigerant-22 and ternary Refrigerant-407C(HFC-32/125/134a 23/25/52 wt%) which is being considered as a substitute R-22 inside a horizontal micro-fin tube are presented. The test section was horizontal double-tube counterflow condenser with a length 4,000 mm micro-fin tube, having 8.53 mm ID, 0.2 mm fin height and 60 fins. The range of parameters of mass velocity were varied from 102.1 to 301.0 kg/(m2.s) and inlet quality 1.0. At the given experimental conditions. the average heat transfer coefficients for R-407C were lower than that for R-22 at a micro-fin tube. Over the mass velocity range tested. the PF(penalty factor) for R-22, R-407C were lower than the increasing ratio of heat transfer area by fins, and the EF(enhancement factor) for R-22, R-407C were higher than the increasing ratio of heat transfer area by fins.

Characteristics of InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) ridge laser diodes (LDs) are investigated for high-power $1.3\;{\mu}m$ applications. For QD ridge LDs with a $5-{\mu}m$-wide stripe and a 1-mm-long cavity, the emission wavelength of 1284.1 nm, the single-uncoated-facet CW output power as high as 90 mW, the external efficiency of 0.31 W/A and the threshold current density of $800\;mA/cm^2$ are obtained. The linewidth enhancement factor ($\alpha$-factor) is successfully measured to be between 0.4 and 0.6, which are about four times as small values with respect to conventional quantum well structure. It is possible that this result significantly reduce the filamentation of far-field profiles resulting in better beam quality for high power operation.

The present study analyzes T1 TSE and T1 slice sel. IR (dark_fluid) signal strength according to the degree of gadolinium contrast agent dilution and analyzes the turbo factors with regard to changes in the maximum and overall signal strength to study correlations between changes and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and compare peak-to-peak SNR (PSNR) enhancement in order to improve the quality of T1-weighted images. Enhancement TR (600 msec) evaluated to determine the T1 TSE turbo factor and obtain the maximum signal strength, T1WI were used sequentially to experiment with turbo factors_1-4. T1 slice sel. IR (dark-fluid) was used to sequentially test turbo factors_2-5 but not turbo factor_1 at a TR (1500 msec) and compare data at an increase in T1 of 900 msec. The T1 TSE was reduced according to the contrast agent concentration. Phantom signal strength increased, whereas turbo factors_1-4 exhibited maximum signal strength at a concentration of 3 mmol, followed by a gradual decrease. In the turbo factors_2-5, the signal strength increased sharply to maximum signal strength at 0.7 mmol, followed by a reduction. T1 TSE had a greater maximum signal strength than did T1 slice sel. IR (dark_fluid). A comparison of SNR found that T1 TSE imaging was superior (33.3 dB) in turbo factor_1 and T1 slice sel. IR (dark_fluid) was highest (33.9 dB) at turbo factor_5. A PSNR comparison analysis was not sufficient to distinguish between the images obtained with both techniques at 30 dB or higher under all experimental conditions.

The current JPEG-2000 standard is a wavelet based scheme because wavelet transform have some advantages compare to DCT transform. In compressed images, there are some image degradation factors like contrast distortion by Quantization process. This factor is very important to HVS (Human Visual System). Therefore, In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for contrast enhancement using the properties of wavelet coefficients. This algorithm is processed in the wavelet domain and so it can be applied efficiently to JPEG-2000.

The MMSE-STSA based speech enhancement algorithm is widely used as a preprocessing for noise robust speech recognition. It weighs the gain of each spectral bin of the noisy speech using the estimate of noise and signal power spectrum. In this paper, we investigate the influence of parameters used to estimate the speech signal and noise power in MMSE-STSA upon the recognition performance of noisy speech. For experiments, we use the Aurora2 DB which contains noisy speech with subway, babble, car, and exhibition noises. The HTK-based continuous HMM system is constructed for recognition experiments. Experimental results are presented and discussed with our findings.
