In many practical problems in signal processing and control, the signal values are often restricted to belong to a finite number of levels. These questions are generally referred to as "finite alphabet" problems. There are many applications of this class of problems including: on-off control, optimal audio quantization, design of finite impulse response filters having quantized coefficients, equalization of digital communication channels subject to intersymbol interference, and control over networked communication channels. This paper will explain how this diverse class of problems can be formulated as optimization problems having finite alphabet constraints. Methods for solving these problems will be described and it will be shown that a semi-closed form solution exists. Special cases of the result include well known practical algorithms such as optimal noise shaping quantizers in audio signal processing and decision feedback equalizers in digital communication. Associated stability questions will also be addressed and several real world applications will be presented.

Temperature control of an enclosed thermal system which has many applications including Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) of semiconductor wafers showed an input-constraint violation for nonlinear controllers due to inherent strong coupling between the elements [1]. In this paper, a constrained nonlinear optimal control design is developed, which accommodates input constraints using the linear algebraic equivalence of the nonlinear controllers, for the temperature control of an enclosed thermal process. First, it will be shown that design of nonlinear controllers is equivalent to solving a set of linear algebraic equations-the linear algebraic equivalence of nonlinear controllers (LAENC). Then an input-constrained nonlinear optimal controller is designed based on that LAENC using the constrained linear least squares method. Through numerical simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed controller achieves the equivalent performances to the classical nonlinear controllers with less total energy consumption. Moreover, it generates the practical control solution, in other words, control solutions do not violate the input-constraints.

Objective: This study was to determine the bacterial diversity and monitor the community dynamic changes during storage of vacuum-packaged sliced raw beef as affected by Lactobacillus sakei and Lactobacillus curvatus. Methods: L. sakei and L. curvatus were separately incubated in vacuumed-packaged raw beef as bio-protective cultures to inhibit the naturally contaminating microbial load. Dynamic changes of the microbial diversity of inoculated or non-inoculated (control) samples were monitored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 0 to 38 days, using polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). Results: The DGGE profiles of DNA directly extracted from non-inoculated control samples highlighted the order of appearance of spoilage bacteria during storage, showing that Enterbacteriaceae and Pseudomonas fragi emerged early, then Brochothrix thermosphacta shared the dominant position, and finally, Pseudomonas putida showed up became predominant. Compared with control, the inoculation of either L. sakei or L. curvatus significantly lowered the complexity of microbial diversity and inhibited the growth of spoilage bacteria (p<0.05). Interestingly, we also found that the dominant position of L. curvatus was replaced by indigenous L. sakei after 13 d for L. curvatus-inoculated samples. Plate counts on selective agars further showed that inoculation with L. sakei or L. curvatus obviously reduced the viable counts of Enterbacteraceae, Pseudomonas spp. and B. thermosphacta during later storage (p<0.05), with L. sakei exerting greater inhibitory effect. Inoculation with both bio-protective cultures also significantly decreased the total volatile basic nitrogen values of stored samples (p<0.05). Conclusion: Taken together, the results proved the benefits of inoculation with lactic acid bacteria especially L. sakei as a potential way to inhibit growth of spoilage-related bacteria and improve the shelf life of vacuum-packaged raw beef.

연속 공정 라인을 구성하는 롤러들의 속도뿐만 아니라 토크를 적적히 제어할 수 있는 통합형 제어기를 제안하였다. 여러 대의 롤러들이 동시에 가감속 할 때 발생하는 속도 편차는 소재의 장력을 유발하여 가공중인 제품의 품질에 나쁜 영향을 미치게 된다. 제안된 통합형 제어기를 사용하면 속도 기준값 편차나 속도제어 기 특성차이가 존재하더라도 토크 및 속도 기준값을 잘 추종하도록 제어하는 것이 가능하다 제안된 제어기는 가감속 등의 과도상태에는 속도 기준 값을 추종하는 것을 위주로 하고 정상 운전속도에서는 토크 기준값에 따라 제어함으로서 인접한 롤러간의 부하를 분담하도록 설계되었다 특히 제안된 제어기는 인접한 롤러의 제어 정보를 필요로 하지 않으므로 각각의 롤러 제어기 유닛에 쉽게 구현될 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 연속 공정 라인 모의 실험장치에서 제안된 제어기의 토크 및 속도 제어 특성을 비교 검토하였다.

Objectives : We have been used many herbal medicines after processing to improve the effect, decrease toxicity and side-effect, and change property. We have studied the physico-chemical change and HPLC pattern of Morindae Radix by means of processing method. Methods : This study was investigated the contents of loss on drying, residue on ignition, residue on acid insoluble ignition, 50% ethanol extract and HPLC pattern of Morindae Radix(Morinda officinalis How.) by processed and non-processed. We have conducted Morindae Radix and Damnacanthi Radix which is circulated in herbal medicine market by forgery. Processed Morindae Radix was prepared by heating of added to salt(SP), liquor(LP) and Glycyrrhizae Radix solution(GP) for 20-40 minutes. Results and Conclusions : From this analysis, we found that the content of 50% ethanol extract was increased by processing method. And we were detected distinguishable marker of processed and non-processed from Morindae Radix(Morinda officinalis How.) by HPLC pattern analysis.

위성 동보 서비스를 위하여 가입자 정보를 분산 관리하는 계층화 구조로서 가입자 지구국을 그룹 관리하는 부제어국을 설치한 계층 구조로 제안하고 해석하였다. 위성 동보 서비스를 위한 지구국 구성을 가입자국과 부제어국간 그리고 부제어국과 중신국간의 링크에 대한 통신 처리 시간비를 파라미터로 한 폴링 방법에 의한 수신 상태의 응답처리시간을 최소로하는 최적값을 해석하고 이를 3 계층 구성에서 처리할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 3 계층 구성을 하여 사용자국과 부제어국간 억세스 통신 비용의 절감이 요구되는 경우, 지상 공중망을 제어회선으로 사용하고, 통신 비용이 거리 의존성이 있는 경우에는 종래의 2 계층 구성에 비교하여 계층화 비용을 절감할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The initial research of Task Computing in the ubiquitous computing (UbiComp) environment revealed the need for access control of services. Context-awareness of service requests in ubiquitous computing necessitates a well-designed model to enable effective and adaptive invocation. However, nowadays little work is being undertaken on service access control under the UbiComp environment, which makes the exposed service suffer from the problem of ill-use. One of the research focuses is how to handle the access to the resources over the network. Policy-Based Access Control is an access control method. It adopts a security policy to evaluate requests for resources but has a light-weight combination of the resources. Motivated by the problem above, we propose a universal model and an algorithm to enhance service access control in UbiComp. We detail the architecture of the model and present the access control implementation.
