An axial fan design code, called iDesignFan$^{TM}$, was developed. In this code, three major loss models were used to predicted the aerodynamic performance of a fan. The overall sound pressure level, predicted from steady blade loading, is also used as an input parameter from the third loop of the designing process to acquire most silent fan for the given aerodynamic performance parameters. With this kind of inverse design concept used in this code, the period of designing a fan, which has given aerodynamic performance with minimal acoustic noise, is significantly shortened. The experimental results of a prototype fan, designed by this code, showed that aerodynamic and acoustic performance of an axial fan is reasonably well predicted. Thus, one can design/develop an axial fan in a short time by using the code.e.

This paper investigates PN code acquistion algorithm and demodulation performance of the RAKE receiver in the DS/CDMA(direct sequence code division multiple access) sysytems under a multipath fading channel with multiusers. To speed up the acquisition process, PN matched filter is applied and postdetection integration technique comable withthe dynamic threshold set method is proposed. the Maximum-Likelihood algorithmin serial fashion is able to find PN code delay estimates for the RAKE branches using sliding window in a multipath fading channel. The correct acquistion probability and mean acquistion time are used as a performance measure of the system using the Monte Carlo method. The performance of the RAKEreceiver, afte the code acquisition is achieved is the CDMA systems, is also investigated for three major combining techniques.

DS-COMA is now a matured multiple access technology that utilizes spreading codes for user separation. In this paper, we attempt to improve the performance of a multiuser DS-COMA system with a unique chip shaping code called Carrier Interferometry (CI) code. The CI codes exhibit an excellent correlation property that can be used in many applications. In DS-COMA with CI codes (CI/DS-COMA), the symbols are spread by a spreading code and then the chip signals are shaped using a CI code. Due to the correlation property of the CI code, a diversity gain from the shaped chip signals is achieved and the performance of DS-COMA is significantly improved. Comparison study demonstrates that the DS-COMA with CI outperforms the conventional DS-COMA system in multiuser environments.

The current Concrete Structural Design Code (2007) prescribe the equivalent rectangular stress block of the ACI 318 Building Code as concrete compressive stress distribution for design of concrete structures. The rectangular stress block may be enough for flexural strength calculation, but realistic stress-strain relationship is required for performance verification at selected limit state in performance-based design. Moreover, the ACI rectangular stress block provides non-conservative flexural strength for high strength concrete columns. Therefore a new stress distribution model is required for development of performance-based design code. This paper proposes a concrete compressive stress-strain distribution model for design and performance verification. The proposed model has a parabolic-rectangular shape, which is adopted by Eurocode 2 and Japanese Code (JSCE). It was developed by investigation of experimental test results conducted by the authors and other researchers. The test results cover high strength concrete as well as normal strength concrete. The stress distribution parameters of the proposed models are compared to those of the ACI 318 Building Code, Eurocode 2, Japanese Code (JSCE) and Canadian Code (CSA) as well as the test results.

This paper suggests and analyzes the Serially Concatenated Space-Time Code(SCSTC) with the possibility of a efficient high-speed transmission in a band limited channel. The suggested code has a structure that uses the interleaver to connect the space-time code as an inner code and the convolutional code as a outer code serially. This code keeps the advantage of high-speed transmission and also has the high BER performance. The performance of the suggested system is compared with the conventional bandwidth efficient trellis coded modulation, such as a Serially Concatenated Trellis Coded Modulation (SCTCM) and a Turbo-Trellis Coded Modulation(Turbo-TCM). The results show that the suggested system has a 2.8dB and 3dB better BER performance than SCTCM and Turbo-TCM respectively in case of the transmission rate 2b/s/Hz in fading channel.

In this paper, we proposed preamble structure and code acquisition method to improve code acquisition performance for DS-SS/TDMA packet communication systems. Proposed algorithm changes the short PN code position depending on the sub slot number. Proposed algorithm also saves position differences between short PN codes and position offsets between short PN codes and data starting position of the TDMA packet. By using the position difference table, proposed algorithm can find out exact data starting position even though some sub slots were defected. As a result of simulation, we concluded that proposed algorithm has at least 5dB gain compared to conventional method when same short PN code is used. Moreover, proposed algorithm shows same code acquisition performance only with 1/4 shortened short PN code compared to conventional method.

This paper is about a bar code decoding algorithm developed for smart phone applications. The algorithm consists of bar code data extraction procedure, bar code signal estimation procedure, and bar code decoding procedure. To detect the peak bar code module, a DSTW had been applied because of its outstanding performance in ECG peak detection. In order to minimize errors due to non-uniform light effect, the proposed algorithm was acted as a baseline wandering filter based on module peaks detection. The algorithm had been tested to evaluate the performance under the conditions of blurring, non-uniformed light and white noises. The algorithm had shown excellent performance in reconstruction of bar code decoding, compared to other conventional methods. In order to show the possibility of applying the algorithm to a smart phone, a real UPC-A type 150 bar code pictures obtained from a smart phone camera was applied to the algorithm, achieving the correct recognition rate of 97.33%.

This paper proposes new line code BIM (Bit Insertion and Manipulation) that is designed to overcome the problems of existing line codes. The block code, one of typical existing line code, has good transmission performance but difficulty in implementation. The other typical existing line code, bit insertion code, is easy to implementation but has bad transmission performance. BIM code in this paper could provide not only good performance but also provides simplicity in the implementation by combining the good points of block code into it of bit insertion code properly. In this paper, 5B6B type BIM code is designed. Designed 5B6B BIM code shows good transmission performance such $\pm$2 DSV, 0 RSD, 7 maximum run length and also it can be implemented under 2000 gates and need only 1 bit redundancy.

We designed a portable parallel library HPCL(High Performance Computing Library) with following objectives: (1) to provide a close relationship between the parallel code and the original sequential code that will help future versions of the sequential code and (2) to enhance performance of the parallel code. The library is an interface written in C and Fortran programming languages between MPI(Message Passing Interface) and parallel programs in Fortran. Performance results were determined on clusters of PC's and IBM SP4.

Carrier interferometry code is considered as a promising scheme that provides significant performance improvement via frequency diversity effect. Space-time coding is commonly employed to achieve a performance gain through space diversity. The combination of these techniques and forward error correction coding will lead to enhanced system capacity and performance. This paper presents a low-density parity check (LDPC) coded space-time orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission scheme with carrier interferometry code for high-capacity and high-performance mobile multimedia communications. Computer simulations demonstrate that the proposed mobile multimedia transmission system offers a considerable performance improvement of approximately 9dB in terms of Eb/No in the Rayleigh fading channel with relatively low delay spread, in comparison with space-time OFDM. Performance gains are further increased, comparing with traditional OFDM systems.
