Recently, side scan sonar system has been developed and operated to survey cable laying, sunken bodies, geometry of sea bottom and so on. It uses the acoustic signals, which are emitted from two transducer arrays, left and right sides, to get geometric information of the specified area. This system consists of transceiver board, towed body, deck unit and GPS receiver. The transceiver board, nested in a watertight canister, controls the transmitting and receiving of the acoustic pulses from transducer arrays. After receiving the scattered signals, it processes BP(Band Pass) filtering, AGC(Automatic Gain Control), TVG(Time Varying Gain) and Heterodyne. The deck init has the signal processing part, A/D converter, power supplier, and real-time monitoring part. The towed body has been designed to satisfy the optimal hydrodynamic behavior during towing, In this paper, brief introductions on the design theory of transceiving part and some results from the field which have been operated recently will be introduced.

자기테이프를 사용하는 대부분의 경량무인운반차들(AGCs)은 디지털 자기유도센서를 사용한다. 디지털 자기유도센서는 On/Off 타입으로 자기테이프의 위치측정 정밀도가 10~50 mm의 오차를 가진다. 또한 경량무인운반차에 설치된 모터의 자기장이나 주변 환경의 외부 자기장, 지자기 등으로 인하여 정확한 위치를 추정하기 힘들다. 이러한 오차로 인하여 경량무인운반차의 주행 시에 잦은 흔들림이 발생하게 되고, 정도가 심할 경우 이탈현상이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문은 양극성 아날로그 자기유도센서에 퍼지 추론 시스템의 적용을 제안한다. 퍼지는 다른 알고리즘에 비하여 내고장성과 불확실성에 강인하고, 실시간 작동에 유리하며, 비선형시스템에 사용하기 적합하다. 선행과제에서 제작한 양극성 아날로그 자기유도센서로 threshold를 두어 디지털 자기유도센서를 형성하고, 이를 이용하여 자석위치 값을 계산한다. On으로 인식된 아날로그 Hall sensor의 출력을 이용하여 퍼지 추론 시스템을 설계하고, 그 출력으로 디지털출력 값을 개선한다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존의 자기유도센서보다 성능이 향상된 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 내이의 손상에 의한 감각성 난청환자들의 청력회복을 위한 청각보철장치내의 가장 중요한 부분인 어음발췌기의 음성신호처리 알고리즘 및 하드웨어를 개발하였다. 증폭, 저역통과 필터, AGC의 역할을 수행하는 외이 및 중이는 아날로그 시스템으로 모델링하였고, 시간 지연된 다중 필터 및 변환기의 역할을 수행하는 내이는 실시간 처리가 가능한 고속 DSP 회로로 구현되었다. 특히 내이의 기저막특성은 비선형 자중 필터뱅크로 모델링한후, 피치와 동기화된 다중 스펙트럼을 출력할 수 있는 (pitch-synchronous multi-spectra : PSMS) 전략을 이용함으로서 청각계의 tonotopy와 periodicity를 만족시킬 수 있었다. 또한 주요, 음성신호처리의 대부분이 S/W로 수행되므로 다양한 실험을 위한 시스템 수정이 용이하며, C 언어로 프로그램이 개발되었기 때문에 다른 프로세스를 사용하는 H/W에도 쉽게 이식될 수 있다는 장점을 가진다.

NAND flash memory has advantages of non-volatility, little power consumption and fast access time. However, it suffers from inability that does not provide to update-in-place and the erase cycle is limited. Moreover, the unit of read/write operation is a page and the unit of erase operation is a block. Therefore, erase operation is slower than other operations. The AGC, the proposed garbage collection policy focuses on not only garbage collection time reduction for real-time guarantee but also wear-leveling for a flash memory lifetime. In order to achieve above goals, we define three garbage collection operating modes: Fast Mode, Smart Mode, and Wear-leveling Mode. The proposed policy decides the garbage collection mode depending on system CPU usage rate. Fast Mode selects the dirtiest block as victim block to minimize the erase operation time. However, Smart Mode selects the victim block by reflecting the invalid page number and block erase count to minimizing the erase operation time and deviation of block erase count. Wear-leveling Mode operates similar to Smart Mode and it makes groups and relocates the pages which has the similar update time. We implemented the proposed policy and measured the performance compare with the existing policies. Simulation results show that the proposed policy performs better than Cost-benefit policy with the 55% reduction in the operation time. Also, it performs better than Greedy policy with the 87% reduction in the deviation of erase count. Most of all, the proposed policy works adaptively according to the CPU usage rate, and guarantees the real-time performance of the system.

Background: Tetracycline is an antibiotic widely used for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, but its effectiveness is decreasing due to increasing bacterial resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of 16S rRNA mutations associated with resistance or reduced susceptibility to tetracycline ofHelicobacter pylori by real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assays from culture. Materials and Methods: Tetracycline susceptibility and minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) was determined by the Epsilometer test (Etest) method. A LightCycler assay developed to detect these mutations was applied to DNA extracted from culture. The 16S rRNA of these isolates was sequenced and resistance-associated mutations were identified. From 104 isolates of H. pylori examined, 11 showed resistance to tetracycline. Results: LightCycler assay was applied to DNA extracted from 11 tetracycline-susceptible and 11 tetracycline resistance H. pylori isolates. In our study the sequencing of the H. pylori wild types in 16 s rRNA gene were AGA 926-928 with MIC (0.016 to $0.5{\mu}g/ml$), while the sequencing and MIC for resistant were GGA and AGC, (0.75 to $1.5{\mu}g/ml$), respectively. Also we found a novel mutation in 2 strains with $84^{\circ}C$ as their melting temperatures and exhibition of an A939C mutation. Conclusions: We conclude that real-time PCR is an excellent method for determination of H. pylori tetracycline resistance related mutations that could be used directly on biopsy specimens.
