현재 위성방송을 통해 신호를 전송 또는 재전송하는 무선통신서비스를 이용하는 시청자 층은 다양하다. 하지만 방송국은 H.264표준으로 압축된 동영상들을 위성통신을 통하여 전송하기 때문에 H.264표준 디바이스를 갖추지 않는 선박은 실시간으로 데이터를 전송받지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 MPEG-2 표준 디바이스를 사용하고 있는 선박을 위하여 H.264 to MPEG-2 트랜스코딩 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 H.264 표준의 매크로블록모드의 특성을 분석하여 H.264 to MPEG-2 transcoding의 계산시간 및 화질을 개선한다. 첫째 H.264와 MPEG-2표준의 INTRA 모드 방법이 상이하므로 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 둘째 매크로블록모드가 INTER 모드인 경우에는 H.264표준의 가변블록 안에 존재하는 움직임 벡터의 방향성을 고려하여 새로운 예측움직임벡터 (PMV: predictor motion vector)를 제안한다. 이때 최종움직임벡터는 예측움직임벡터를 그대로 사용하거나, H.264표준의 매크로블록내에 존재하는 가변블록들의 움직임벡터들과 MPEG-2부호기(baseline)의 움직임벡터의 일치율을 비교하여 최종적으로 움직임벡터를 예측할 범위(window size)를 결정한다. 실험결과, 제안한 트랜스코딩방법의 PSNR은 MPEG-2 FSBMA와 거의 일치하고, 트랜스코딩에 필요한 계산시간은 평균적으로 각각 70% 또는 67% 감소하였다.

본 연구에서는 한국해양대학교 실습선 한바다를 이용하여 선박의 입 출항 및 약 150 rpm의 정속 운항 할 때 주기관에서 배출되는 배기가스를 실시간 계측하였다. 실측 결과 질소산화물의 농도는 정속 운항시 800 ppm 에서 1,000 ppm 사이인데 반해, 입 출항시에는 210 ppm 에서 1,230 ppm 까지 큰 범위에서 값이 변화하였다. 일산화탄소의 농도 역시 정속운항 상태 보다 입 출항시 측정값의 변화가 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 입 출항시 가능한 한 주기관의 부하변동이 급격히 발생되지 않도록 하는 선박 조종 스킬이 필요하다는 것을 의미한다. 또한, 배기가스 저감 기술의 적용에 있어 입 출항시와 정속 운항할 때 그 차이를 고려할 필요가 있다는 것을 나타낸다.

The advantage of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) is to reduce requirement of oxygen as well as tank volume. The fludized media was used in the oxic (aerobic) tank of Membrane-BNR to enhance the efficiency of SND. Nowadays, the interest of applying membrane to the wastewater treatment plant has been increased, which is proved by a lot of research published about the MBR. The Membrane-BNR, consisted of total 5 reactors might be called the compact process by using the fludized media and having short HRT of 6.5 hr. It could attain the further removal of not only the organics but also nutrients such as T-N and T-P. The mode A and B were identified with or without the step feed of influent. The mode A was classified with 3 modes according to the different DO concentration in the fludized media aerobic reactor, and the mode B with step feed was operated with the optimum DO condition. The step-feed was capable of improving TN removal efficiency under the domestic wastewater with the low ratio C/N. On the other hand, the efficiency of SND with the 1.0~1.5 mg/L DO in the oxic media tank was better than the one with below 1.0 mg/L, on which the nitrification did not happen enough, and with above 3.5 mg/L, on which the reduction of anoxic area in the tank happened. It means that the profitable nitrification should be performed prior to the denitrification step. The removal efficiency of nitrogen by SND was about 20% among of total denitrified nitrogen. And some organic carbon consumed could be reduced by the endogeneous denitrification.

In this study, we evaluated the DAP(Dose Area Product) reduction effect of the newly developed IRIS collimator by measuring the DAP of the Rectangle collimator and the IRIS collimator depending on the field, SID(Source to Image recpetor Distance) change, and AEC mode use. The results were as follows. The IRIS collimator decreased DAP by 34.91, 29.33, and 29.04%, respectively, compared to the Rectangle collimator when the field was increased to $8{\times}8$, $12{\times}12$, $16{\times}16inch$. And also, when the SID was increased to 100, 120 and 140 cm, the IRIS collimator decreased DAP by 10.73, 33.68 and 46.22%, respectively, compared to the Rectangle collimator. In AEC mode and none-AEC mode, DAP in IRIS collimator was reduced by 32.71 and 21.69%, respectively, compared with the Rectangle type. The IRIS collimator can reduce DAP by 29.62% on average compared to Rectangle type, which is statistically significant. These results suggest that the newly developed IRIS collimator can be used in medical field to alleviate radiation exposure.

The decomposition of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and the mass balance of nitrogen (N) species as products were investigated in a UV/H2O2system by varying pH, concentrations of $H_2O_2$, and $O_2$. All experiments were conducted in a semi-batch system employing a 50 mL reaction vessel and a coil-type quartz-tube reactor. In contrast with previous studies employing batch mode, TNT decomposition in the semi-batch mode was proportionally enhanced by increasing $H_2O_2$ concentration to 10 mM (0.034%), indicatingthat an inhibitory effect of excess $H_2O_2$on hydroxyl radical (${\cdot}OH$) can be negligible. N compounds are released as $NO_2^-$ in the early stages of the reaction, but $NO_2^-$ is rapidly oxidized to $NO_3^-$ by means of ${\cdot}OH$. $NH_4^+$ was also detected in this study and showed gradually the increase with increasing reaction time. In this study, $NH_4^+$ production can involve the reduction of nitro group of TNT concurrent with the production of $NO_3^-$. Of the N species originating from TNT decomposition, 12 ~ 72% were inorganic forms (i.e. [$NO_3^-$] + [$NO_2^-$] + [$NH_4^+$]). This result suggests that the large remaining N portions indicate that unidentified N compounds can exist.

The switching-mode power converter has been widely used because of its features of high efficiency and small weight and size. These features are brought by the ON-OFF operation of semiconductor switching devices. However, this switching operation causes the surge and EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) which deteriorate the reliability of the converter themselves and entire electronic systems. This problem on the surge and noise is one of the most serious difficulties in AC-to-DC converter. In the switching-mode power converter, the output voltage is generally controlled by varying the duty ratio of main switch. When a converter operates in steady state, duty ratio of the converter is kept constant. So the power of switching noise is concentrated in specific frequencies. Generally, to reduce the EMI and improve the immunity of converter system, the switching frequency of converter needs to be properly modulated during a rectified line period instead of being kept constant. Random Pulse Width Modulation (RPWM) is performed by adding a random perturbation to switching instant while output-voltage regulation of converter is performed. RPWM method for reducing conducted EMI in single switch three phase discontinuous conduction mode boost converter is presented. The more white noise is injected, the more conducted EMI is reduced. But output-voltage is not sufficiently regulated. This is the reason why carrier frequency selection topology is proposed. In the case of carrier frequency selection, output-voltage of steady state and transient state is fully regulated. A RPWM control method was proposed in order to smooth the switching noise spectrum and reduce it's level. Experimental results are verified by converter operating at 300V/1kW with 5%~30% white noise input. Spectrum analysis is performed on the Phase current and the CM noise voltage. The former is measured with Current Probe and the latter is achieved with LISN, which are connected to the spectrum analyzer respectively.

A 1 GHz CMOS fast-lock phase-locked loop (PLL) is proposed to support the quick wake-up time of mobile consumer electronic devices. The proposed fast-lock PLL consists of a conventional charge-pump PLL, a frequency-to-digital converter (FDC) to measure the frequency of the input reference clock, and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to generate the initial control voltage of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The initial control voltage of the VCO is driven toward a reference voltage that is determined by the frequency of the input reference clock in the initial mode. For the speedy measurement of the frequency of the reference clock, an FDC with a parallel architecture is proposed, and its architecture is similar to that of a flash analog-to-digital converter. In addition, the frequency-to-voltage converter used in the FDC is designed simply by utilizing current integrators. The circuits for the proposed fast-lock scheme are disabled in the normal operation mode except in the initial mode to reduce the power consumption. The proposed PLL was fabricated by using a 0.18-${\mu}m$ 1-poly 6-metal complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process with a 1.8 V supply. This PLL multiplies the frequency of the reference clock by 10 and generates the four-phase clock. The simulation results show a reduction of up to 40% in the worstcase PLL lock time over the device operating conditions. The root-mean-square (rms) jitter of the proposed PLL was measured as 2.94 ps at 1 GHz. The area and power consumption of the implemented PLL are $400{\times}450{\mu}m^2$ and 6 mW, respectively.

H.264/AVC기반의 다시점 영상 부호화 기술은 시점간 상관성을 이용한 새로운 예측 방법을 이용하여 여러 대의 카메라로부터 촬영된 영상을 효율적으로 부호화하는 기술이다. 그러나 다시점 부호화 기술은 시점의 증가와 시점간 예측의 사용으로 인해 부호화 시간이 크게 증가한다. 본 논문은 부호화 시간을 줄이기 위해 다시점 영상에서 시점간에 대응하는 마크로블록 (Macroblock) 기반 영역 분할 정보와 시점간의 전역 변이 벡터를 이용한 고속 모드 결정 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 다시점 영상 부호화 표준의 참조 소프트웨어인 joint multi-view video model (JMVM) 4.0에 비해 약 0.04dB의 화질 열화를 보이지만 전체 부호화 시간을 평균적으로 40% 단축할 수 있었다.
