In this study, an optimization process design has been performed to separate 99.9 mol% of Isobutyl Acetate from binary azeotropic mixture of Isobutyl Acetate and Isobutyl Alcohol system using a Pressure Swing Distillation (PSD). PSD is used to separate binary azeotropic mixtures using the difference between the relative volatilities and azeotropic compositions by changing the system pressure. Non-Random Two Liquid (NRTL) model for liquid phase and the Peng-Robinson equation for vapor phase are used. An optimization study for the reflux ratio and feed stage locations which minimize the total reboiler heat duties are studied. Since PSD process consists of two columns, i.e. high pressure and low pressure, the effect of column sequence on the optimum conditions is reported.

An improved backoff algorithm for retransmission randomization for OFDMA/CDMA/slotted ALOHA used in the ranging subchannel of IEEE 802.16 network is proposed. Exploiting the fact that a base station coordinates channel access using UL-/DL-MAP in the IEEE 802.16 networks, we propose a minor modification of the existing IEEE 802.16 in order to increase throughput, decrease delay variation and achieve a graceful performance degradation in case of overload channel condition of the random access protocol. The algorithm basically estimates the number of backlogged users and arrival rate using which, the BS calculates retransmission probability for the subscriber stations involved in a collision. Computer simulation is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and to compare the performance with existing binary exponential backoff algorithm.

This paper describes a design of an elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) processor that supports five pseudo-random curves and five Koblitz curves over binary field defined by the NIST standard. The ECC processor adopts the Lopez-Dahab projective coordinate system so that scalar multiplication is computed with modular multiplier and XORs. A word-based Montgomery multiplier of $32-b{\times}32-b$ was designed to implement ECCs of various key lengths using fixed-size hardware. The hardware operation of the ECC processor was verified by FPGA implementation. The ECC processor synthesized using a 0.18-um CMOS cell library occupies 10,674 gate equivalents (GEs) and 9 Kbits RAM at 100 MHz, and the estimated maximum clock frequency is 154 MHz.

In this paper, we have proposed a full phase encryption scheme based on phase-encoded XOR operation. The proposed scheme encrypts a gray-level image by slicing an original image and combining with XORed images which resulted from phase-encoded XOR operations between sliced images and phase-encoded binary random images. Then we produce an encrypted image by combining only XORed images and a key image by only phase-encoded binary random images. The encrypted image and key image are converted into encrypted data and key data by a phase-encoding method. The merits are that the proposed encryption scheme can basically fulfill a high-level encryption using a full phase encryption scheme which has nonlinear and invisible characteristics. The scheme also improves security by encrypting the phase information before full phase encryption. The decryption system based on the principle of interference between a reference wave and a direct pixel-to-pixel mapping image of encrypted data with key data can be simply implemented using a phase-visualization system. Simulation results indicate that our proposed encryption scheme is effective and simple for a gray-scale image and optical decryption system.

In this paper, we studied characteristics of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) suppression in high-power fiber lasers by using apparatuses applying a temperature gradient (i.e. a step, a sine shape, and random temperature distribution) along the fiber. From the ytterbium-doped polarization-maintaining fiber master oscillator power amplifier built in house, we measured the back-reflection spectrum and power for each temperature gradient, showing that the step shape temperature distribution was the most effective way to suppress SBS. In addition, we investigated the interaction of pseudo-random binary sequence phase modulation conditions and temperature gradients for SBS suppression.

This paper proposes a novel code-tracking scheme to track the fine code synchronization for BOC (pn,n)-modulated global navigation satellite system signals in a repeat-back jamming environment. The correlation function of BOC (pn,n)-modulated signals has several peaks. The correlation function in the advanced offset region remains almost unchanged due to the repeat-back signals being received later than a line-of-sight signal in the same multipath signal receiving case. Additionally, the combined pseudo-random noise signal can be treated as repeat-back jamming signals, like multipath signals. In this paper, we propose a novel code-tracking scheme utilizing the advantages of using a combined pseudo-random noise signal in the advanced offset region and verify its performance through simulation.

Various imbalanced binary classification problems exist such as fraud detection in banking operations, detecting spam mail and predicting defective products. Several sampling methods such as over sampling, under sampling, SMOTE have been developed to overcome the poor prediction performance of binary classifiers when the proportion of one group is dominant. In order to overcome this problem, several sampling methods such as over-sampling, under-sampling, SMOTE have been developed. In this study, we investigate prediction performance of logistic regression, Lasso, random forest, boosting and support vector machine in combination with the sampling methods for binary imbalanced data. Four real data sets are analyzed to see if there is a substantial improvement in prediction performance. We also emphasize some precautions when the sampling methods are implemented.

In this paper, we propose a correlation function using newly designed local signals for cosine-phased binary offset carrier (BOC) signal tracking. First, we divide a sub-carrier pulse over one pseudo random noise code period into multiple rectangular pulses, and subsequently, design novel local signals. Then, we obtain a correlation function with no side-peak based on a combination of correlations between the newly generated local signals and received cosine-phased BOC signal. From numerical results, it is confirmed that the proposed correlation function provides a tracking performance improvement over the conventional correlation functions in terms of the tracking error standard deviation.

Flammable substances are used in laboratories and industrial process. The flash point (FP) is one of the most important physical properties used to determine the potential for characterizing the fire and explosion hazard of liquids. The FP data at 101.3 kPa were measured for the binary systems {toluene+ethylbenzene}, {methlycyclohenxane+ethylbenzene} and {n-heptane+ ethylbenzene}. The experiments were performed according to the standard test method (ASTM D 3278) using a SETA closed cup flash point tester. The measured FPs were compared with the values predicted using the following activity coefficient models: Wilson, Non-Random Two Liquid (NRTL), and UNIversal QUAsiChemical (UNIQUAC). The average absolute deviation between the predicted and measured lower FP was less than 1.74 K.

To present the design procedure of discretized 8-bit tent map executing the transformation of tent function which is one of the chaotic functions, first, the truth table of discretized tent map was written, and then according to the simplified Boolean algebra equations obtained from the truth table, the discretized map is implemented with the exclusive logic gate as a real hardware. The discretized tent map circuit which provides the feedback circuit for generating the period-8 states relevant to the 8-bit finite precision is also designed and presented in this paper. Furthermore, it might be used stream cipher system with a new key-stream circuit for generate of chaotic binary sequence.
