In FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter applications, Nth-band F]U digital filters are known to be important due to their reduced computational requirements. The conventional methods for designing F]U filters use iterative approaches such as the well-known Parks-Mcclellan algorithm. The Parks-Mcclellan algorithm is also used to design Nth-band FIR digital filters. But a disadvantage of the Parks-Mcclellan algorithm is that it needs a good amount of design time. This paper describes a direct design method for Nth-band FIR Filters using Chebyshev polynomials, which provides a reduced design time over indirect methods such as the Parks-Mcclellan algorithm. The response of the resulting filter is equiripple in passband. Our proposed method produces a passband response that is equripple to within a minuscule error, comparable to that of the Parks-Mcclellan algorithm.

Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in the early evolutionary stages are very embedded, and thus they emit most of their energy at long wavelengths such as far-infrared (FIR) and submillimeter (Submm). Therefore, the FIR observational data are very important to classify the accurate evolutionary stages of these embedded YSOs, and to better constrain their physical parameters in the dust continuum modeling. We selected 28 YSOs, which were detected in the AKARI Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS), from the Spitzer c2d legacy YSO catalogs to test the effect of FIR fluxes on the classification of their evolutionary stages and on the constraining of envelope properties, internal luminosity, and UV strength of the Interstellar Radiation Field (ISRF). According to our test, one can mis-classify the evolutionary stages of YSOs, especially the very embedded ones if the FIR fluxes are not included. In addition, the total amount of heating of YSOs can be underestimated without the FIR observational data.

The conventional FIR filters can be very expensive to implement due to the complexity of multibit multipliers. This paper presents an new type of multiplierless structure which is particularly suited to the hardware implementation of small, low cost, low power, high speed digital filters. The filter structures consisting of a transversal filter with tap coefficiented to the combination of two elements of the set {0, $\pm$$2^n$;n = integer} and cascaded with a integrator are proposed. Performance has been tested via simulation on a digital computer, and the results show that the response characteristics of presented filters are as equally good as those of conventional finitewordlength filters.

This paper deals with the maneuver detection and target tracking problem in uncertain parameter systems using a robust{{{{ { H}_{ } }}}} FIR filter to improve the unacceptable tracking performance due to the parametr uncertainty. The tracking filter used in the current paper is based on the robust{{{{ { H}_{ } }}}} FIR filter proposed by Kwon et al. [1,2] to estimate the state signal in uncertain systems with parameter uncertainty, and the basic scheme of the proposed method is the input estimation approach. Tracking performance of the maneuver detection and target tracking method proposed is compared with other techniques, Bogler allgorithm [4] and FIR tracking filter [2], via some simulations to examplify the good tracking performance of the proposed method over other techniques.

본 논문에서는 디지털 보호 계전기에 쓰이는 필터 중에서 최소 자승 알고리즘을 이용한 고성능 FIR 필터를 설계하였다. 기존의 DFT필터와 MATLAB 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 비교하였으며 FIR 필터의 VHDL모델 및 합성에 중점을 두었다. FIR 필터는 기본적으로 유한개의 임펄스 응답이 이루어지기 때문에 기타 다른 필터에 비하여 안정도가 높으며 선형적인 위상을 가지기 때문에 차단 주파수 대역의 왜곡현상을 없앨 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 여러 가지 알고리즘으로 구현한 FIR 필터를 시뮬레이션 한 결과 최소 자승 알고리즘이 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 기본적으로 디지털 보호 계전기에서 디지털 필터의 기능은 사고 전압, 전류로부터 60Hz의 기본파 추출 CT, PT 왜곡 및 DC offset을 제거하는데 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기능을 가지면서 샘플링 주파수와 차수를 같게 하여 FIR 필터와 DFT 필터의 주파수 응답과 연 산 속도를 비교 하였다. 본 논문에서 설계된 최소 자승 알고리즘을 이용한 FIR 필터는 같은 조건의 DFT필터에 비해 1고조파와 2고조파의 차이가 10db 이상 더 우수 하였으며 연산 속도 또한 2배 이상 좋은 결과를 보였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of fast inversion recovery (FIR) and magnetization-prepared three dimensional gradient echo sequence (3D GRE) T1-weighted sequences for neonatal brain imaging compared with spin echo (SE) sequence in a 3T MR unit. Materials and Methods: T1-weighted axial SE, FIR and 3D GRE sequences were evaluated from 3T brain MR imaging in 20 neonates. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of different tissues was measured and contrast-to-noise ratios (CNR) were determined and compared in each of the sequences. Visual analysis was carried out by grading gray-white matter differentiation, myelination, and artifacts. The Wilcoxon signed ranked test was used for evaluation of the statistical significance of CNR differences between the sequences. Results: Among the three sequences, the 3D GRE had the best SNRs. CNRs obtained with FIR and 3D GRE were statistically superior to those obtained with SE; these CNRs were better on the 3D GRE compared to the FIR. Gray to white matter differentiation and myelination were better delineated on the FIR and 3D GRE than the SE. However, motion artifacts were more commonly observed on the 3D GRE and flow-related artifacts of vessels were frequently seen on the FIR. Conclusion: FIR and 3D GRE are valuable alternative T1-weighted sequences to conventional SE imaging of the neonatal brain at 3T providing superior image quality.

The Far Infrared Ray (FIR) is part of the natural energy as light spectrum of sunlight. Human can disentangle the colors within visible ray, but FIR is invisible to human sight because it has longer wavelength than visible ray. The effect of using FIR on broiler performance, blood biochemical profiles and fecal gas emission from litter. Day-old semi-broiler chicks (Ross ♂ ${\times}$ Hyline ♀) were obtained and assigned to eight pens, 2 replicates of white and green color LED light, and with FIR on each color light, in a 20L:4D of lighting program. The body weight gain and feed efficiency were tend to improve under the green color than white color, which were increased by exposing to FIR on both color light. Emission of ammonia and lower hydrocarbons from litter were not different from each color but there was a decrease by exposing to FIR regardless of light color. The level of blood aspartate aminotransferase (AST) tends to be decreased under green color than white color, and this tendency becomes more pronounced as exposing to FIR. Therefore significantly increased under white color without FIR than green color with FIR (P<0.05). The levels of albumin and immunoglobulin were not different from each color but there was an increase by exposing to FIR regardless of light color. In conclusion, exposing to Far Infrared Ray (FIR) when broiler raising, there is potential to increase broiler performance because of improvement of bioactivity and raising environment.

Recent high-resolution infrared space missions have revealed supernova remnants (SNRs) of diverse morphology in far infrared (FIR), often very different from their X-ray appearance. This suggests that the FIR emission from SNRs could be of different origins. For a sample of 20 Galactic SNRs, we examine the correlation between their FIR and X-ray properties and explore the origin of the FIR emission. We find that the SNRs with very different FIR and X-ray morphology have relatively large infrared-to-X-ray (IRX) flux ratios. We argue that the FIR emission in these SNRs is likely mainly from dust grains radiatively-heated by shock radiation. For SNRs with similar IR and X-ray morphology, the FIR emission of which is probably mostly from dust grains collisionally heated by hot plasma, we compare their IRX flux ratios with theoretical ratios from a model incorporating time-dependent dust destruction and non-equilibrium ionization cooling behind SNR shock, and discuss the implications of our result.

IR classified by wavelength three parts NIR, MIR. FIR. There is FIR which is radiated from healthy human body the wave length is 8-14m. The Sun's ray is composed of Infared(49%), Visible light(40%) and Ultra violet(11%), however the ray getting to the earth is FIR(60%), IR(20%), and UV(20%). Human beings has utilized FIR already from time immemorial. Hershel found out Infrared for the first time, in the Industrial Revolution the Infrared and FIR had been begun to use making products. FIR with low temperature can deeply penetrate on the human body composed things without troublesome, since FIR has effectively operated on the human body at low temperature (35-40 $^{\circ}$C). In this study, we experimented in the specific temperature FlR radiation intensity. water consumption rate, feed consumption rate. survival rate and mean of weight balance with FlR radiation instrument. According to the results, the FlR radiation to the mice assisted to increase the survival rate.
