An injection-locked ring phase-locked loop (ILRPLL) using a charge-stored complementary switch (CSCS) injection technique is described in this paper. The ILRPLL exhibits a wider lock range compared to other conventional ILRPLLs, owing to the improvement of the injection effect by the proposed CSCS. A frequency calibration loop and a device mismatch calibration loop force the frequency error to be zero to minimize jitter and reference spur. The prototype chip fabricated in 65-nm CMOS technology achieves a $285-fs_{rms}$ integrated jitter at GHz from the reference clock of 52 MHz while consuming 7.16 mW. The figure-of-merit of the ILRPLL is -242.4 dB.

We performed comprehensive quality control for eddy-covariance measurements from 3 farmland sites and 1 industrial site adjacent to Nakdong river. The quality control program is based on Foken and Wichura (1996) and Vicker and Mahrt (1997) and we added criteria for trend and standard deviation for scalar variables and modified criteria for non-stationarity condition of Foken and Wichura (1996) to consider random error of fluxes. The classification of data quality is designed for the raw data and the processed flux data, separately. Use of added criteria efficiently reduces the number of outlier for water vapor and $CO_2$ fluxes and use of modified criteria for non-stationarity reduces the number of outlier for scalar fluxes and increases the number of data with accepted quality for further work. Energy balance ratio is higher in farmlands than industrial site, which is due to neglect of heat storage term in industrial site. Among farmland sites, C4 site shows higher energy balance ratio than other sites. This is due to more homogeneous surface of C4 site than other farmland sites. However, energy balance ratio is very low or even negative at night. Mismatch between the flux footprint and the other energy component footprint over the heterogeneous surface is main cause for energy imbalance at night. Other possible causes are also discussed.

In this study, a novel water surface detection method was proposed. In the method water surface is detected by analysis on correlation coefficients obtained from rectangular control areas of the same vertical position in two successive images including both water surface and staff gauge. Four methods respectively based on threshold, peak, slope and variance ratio, are used to identify water surface from vertical distribution of correlation coefficient. In addition, swaying correction algorithm and statistical filtering are applied to minimize outliers caused by positional image mismatch. Images taken from 28 different sites during low flow were tested to evaluate the method. Mean relative error to eye measurement was approximately from 3.4 to 5.7 cm. As long as water surface moves, this method can be used to improve image stage gauge by supplementing the previous water surface detection method.

In this paper, we present a modeling scheme for the already-installed two-wire home phone lines with arbitrary topologies and show that the inter-symbol interference due to the topology can be removed using an adaptive equalizer. The transmission characteristics of the arbitrary-configured two-wire home phone lines can be analyzed through the ABCD matrices. The simulation result shows that the impedance mismatch due to the branch lines renders nulls in the frequency response or delayed pulses in the impulse response. These nulls or delayed pulses cause inter-symbol interference that inhibits correct signal detection. An adaptive equalizer is shown to be effective in eliminating the interference. Also, the simulation result shows that the equalizer converges in 1.5 ms at a data rate of 1 Msps at signal-to-noise ratios greater than 15 dB. In addition, from the result of relation between E$\_$b//N$\_$and BER(Bit Error Rate), we can see that E$\_$b//N$\_$o/ more than 19 dB is required for the data communication with a BER less than 10$\^$-5/.

Notion Compensation(MC) technique using Sub-Band Coding with the hierarchical structure is efficient to estimate real motion. In the hierarchical pyramid method, low-band MC pyramid method is popular, where the upper layer estimate the glover motion and next lower layer estimate the local motion. The low-band MC pyramid scheme has two problems. First, because the quantization errors at lower layer are accumulated when using coding and quantizing, it is impossible to search the exact Motion Vector(MV) Second, because of the top-down search problem in the hierarchical structure, MV mismatch in upper layer causes serious MV in lower layer So. we propose new hierarchical MC pyramid method based on edge classification. In this Paper, we show that the performance of proposed Pass-band motion compensation pyramid technique is better than low-band motion compensation pyramid. Also, in the pyramid motion estimation, we propose initial MV estimation scheme based on the edge-pattern classification. As a result, we find that PSNR was increased.

Automated visual grading system of lumber needs correct input image. In order to create a correct image of domestic red pine lumber 3.6 m long feeding on a conveyer, part images were captured using area sensor and template matching algorithm was applied to merge part images. Two kinds of template matching algorithms and six kinds of template sizes were adopted in this operation. Feature extracted method appeared to have more excellent image merging performance than fixed template method. Error length was attributed to a decline of similarity related by difference of partial brightness on a part image, specific pattern and template size. The mismatch part was repetitively generated at the long grain. The best size of template for image merging was $100{\times}100$ pixels. In a further study, assignment of exact template size, preprocessing of image merging for reduction of brightness difference will be needed to improve image merging.

Fractal/angle multiplexing is a $LiNBO_3$ crystal using a X-Y Galvano mirror, and the random access concept in fractal/angle multiplexing are discussed in this paper. First, the brief introduction of the designed holographic digital data storage system is presented. Then, the average access time concept for the storage system is newly defined, and the comparison of the average access time between the holographic storage and a conventional optical disk is performed. Second, the basic simulation and experiment to find the X-Y Galvano mirror dynamics are conducted. From this analysis, we find that the average access time in our HDDS which has 6 degree scan angle is about 5 msec. This result is very high performance when it compared with the average access time of a conventional optical disk. Finally, some recording results using fractal/angle multiplexing are presented, then, the relationship between bit error rate and angle mismatch for the each multiplexing are discussed.

A new method that improves the performance of the phonetic transcription based speech recognition system is presented with the speaker-independent phonetic recognizer. Since SI phoneme HMM based speech recognition system uses only the phoneme transcription of the input sentence, the storage space could be reduced greatly. However, the performance of the system is worse than that of the speaker dependent system due to the phoneme recognition errors generated from using SI models. A new training method that iteratively estimates the phonetic transcription and transformation vectors is presented to reduce the mismatch between the training utterances and a set of SI models using speaker adaptation techniques. For speaker adaptation the stochastic matching methods are used to estimate the transformation vectors. The experiments performed over actual telephone line shows that a reduction of about 45% in the error rates could be achieved as compared to the conventional method.

In this paper, we proposed the methodology for security testing using block-based file fault injection. When fault is inserted into software, we consider the format of file in order to efficiently reduce the error that is caused by mismatch of format of file. The Vulnerability the methodology focuses on is related to memory processing, such as buffer overflow, null pointer reference and so on. We implemented the automatic tool to apply the methodology to image file format and named the tool ImageDigger. We executed fault-injection focused on WMF and EMF file format using ImageDigger, and found 10 DOS(Denial of Service) in Windows Platform. This methodology can apply to block-based file format such as MS Office file.

Excessive torsional behaviour is one of the major reasons for failure of buildings, as inferred from past earthquakes. Numerous seismic codes across the world specify a displacement-based or drift-based criterion for classifying buildings as torsionally irregular. In recent years, quite a few researchers have pointed out some of the inherent deficiencies associated with the current codal guidelines on torsional irregularity. This short communication paper aims to envisage the need for a revision of the displacement-based guidelines on torsional irregularity, and further highlight the appropriateness of a rotation-based criterion. A set of 6 reinforced concrete building models with asymmetric shear walls are analysed using ETABS v18.0.2, by varying the number of stories from 1 to 9, and the torsional irregularity coefficient of various stories is calculated using the displacement-based formula. Since rotation about the vertical axis is a direct indication of the twist experienced by a building, the calculated torsional irregularity coefficients of all stories are compared with the corresponding floor rotations. The conflicting results obtained for the torsional irregularity coefficients are projected through five categories, namely mismatch with floor rotations, inconsistency in trend, lack of clarity in incorporation of negative values, sensitivity to low values of displacement and error conceived in the mathematical formulation. The findings indicate that the irregularity coefficient does not accurately represent the torsional behaviour of buildings in a realistic sense. The Indian seismic code-based values of 1.2 and 1.4, which are used to characterize buildings as torsionally irregular are observed to be highly sensitive to the numerical values of displacements, rather than the actual degree of rotation. The study thus emphasizes the revision of current guidelines based on a more relevant rotation-based or eccentricity-based approach.
