In this paper, we propose an effective memory reduction algorithm to reduce the amount of reference frame buffer and memory bandwidth in video encoder and decoder. In general video codecs, decoded previous frames should be stored and referred to reduce temporal redundancy. Recently, reference frames are recompressed for memory efficiency and bandwidth reduction between a main processor and external memory. However, these algorithms could hurt coding efficiency. Several algorithms have been proposed to reduce the amount of reference memory with minimum quality degradation. They still suffer from quality degradation with fixed-bit allocation. In this paper, we propose an adaptive block-based min-max quantization that considers local characteristics of image. In the proposed algorithm, basic process unit is $8{\times}8$ for memory alignment and apply an adaptive quantization to each $4{\times}4$ block for minimizing quality degradation. We found that the proposed algorithm could improve approximately 37.5% in coding efficiency, compared with an existing memory reduction algorithm, at the same memory reduction rate.

Forty one male workers employed in an underwater construction field were surveyed in the viewpoints of epidemiological analysis of decompression sickness (caisson's disease). Nineteen out of the entire forty one workers have been, or had been suffering from decompression sickness (as 46.3% of incidence rate) after decompression. The results obtained were as follows: 1. There was a significant relation between duration of work and incidence of disease. 2. Type II (severe type) comprised majority of cases (16 cases, 84.2%) despite any significant correlations were not present between severity types and recompression times. 3. Most frequently cited symptoms were lower limb pain (89.5%), upper limb pain (79.0%), pruritus (68.4%) and so on, however, 10% of patients complained of neurological symptoms. 4. There were not any significant correlations between disease incidence and worker's age or relative body weight.

Supersonic ejectors are simple mechanical components, which generally perform mixing and/or recompression of two fluid streams. Ejectors have found many applications in engineering. In aerospace engineering, they are used for altitude testing of a propulsion system by reducing the pressure of a test chamber. It is composed of three major sections: a vacuum test chamber, a propulsive nozzle, and a supersonic exhaust diffuser. This paper aims at the improvement of ejector-diffuser performance by focusing attention on reducing exhaust back flow into the test chamber, since alteration of the backflow or recirculation pattern appears as one of the potential means of significantly improving low supersonic ejector-diffuser performance. The simplest backflow-reduction device was an orifice plate at the duct inlet, which would pass the jet and entrained fluid but impede the movement of fluid upstream along the wall. Results clearly showed that the performance of ejector-diffuser system was improved for certain a range of system pressure ratios, whereas the orifice plate was detrimental to the ejector performance for higher pressure ratios. It is also found that there is no change in the performance of diffuser with orifice at its inlet, in terms of its pressure recovery. Hence an appropriately sized orifice system should produce considerable improvement in the ejector-diffuser performance in the intended range of pressure ratios.

Controlled auto ignition (CAI) combustion, also known as HCCI (homogeneous charge compression ignition), offers the potential to simultaneously improve fuel economy and reduce emission. CAI-combustion was achieved in a single cylinder gasoline DI engine, with a cylinder running in a CAI mode. Standard components were used the camshafts which had been modified in order to restrict the gas exchange process. The effects of air-fuel ratio, residual EGR rate and injection timing such as early injection and late injection on the attainable CAI combustion region were investigated. The effect that injection timings on factor such as start of combustion, combustion duration and heat release rate was also investigated. From results early injection caused the mixture to ignite earlier and burn more quickly due to the exothermic reaction during the recompression and gave rise to good mixing of the fuel-air.

Controlled auto-ignition(CAI) combustion, offers the potential to improve fuel economy and reduce emission simultaneously. In this study, CAI-combustion was achieved in a single cylinder gasoline DI engine with modified camshafts in order to restrict the gas exchange process. We investigated the effects of air-fuel ratio, residual EGR rate and injection timing such as early injection and late injection on the attainable CAI combustion region. The effect of injection timings on combustion characteristic such as start of combustion, combustion duration and heat release rate was also investigated. From the result early injection causes the mixture to ignite earlier and burn more quickly due to the exothermic reaction during the recompression and gives rise to good mixing of the fuel/air. On the other hand, late injection extended the operation region more than early injection but the emissions of HC and NOx were more or less increased than early injection.

마하 1.92 초음속 유동 내에서 평판, 작은 공동, 큰 공동을 사용하여 운동량비(J)에 따른 연료 혼합 실험을 수행하였다. 공동 후면 경사부는 연료의 침투거리를 급격히 증가시키며, 경사부에서 형성되는 이차원 충격파는 후류부의 충격파 구조와 혼합층에 주요한 영향을 미친다. 운동량비가 증가함에 따라(J = 0.9, 1.7, 3.4) 연료의 침투거리가 증가하지만, 후류부에서는 운동량비가 증가하더라도 연료 침투거리는 특정 지점 이상 증가하지 않았다. 큰 공동의 경우 다른 모델에 비해 좋은 혼합 효율을 보이지만 압력 손실 또한 증가하는 경향을 보인다.

본 연구에서는 상호작용상류의 난류경계층에 분출을 가해서 경계층을 불안정 화시키고 이 불안정화된 난류경계층과 사각입사충격파와의 상호작용을 실험적으로 연 구하였다. Squire-Smith와는 다른 실험모형의 새로운 형태를 제시하였고 상호작용영 역에서 경계층의 압력분포 및 속도분포를 측정해서 충격파반사의 형태를 밝혔다.

대부분의 영상정보들은 데이터 양이 방대하기 때문에 압축되어 저장되고 전달된다. 이 때문에 영상정보의 변환을 위해서는 사전에 압축을 해제하여 공간정보를 추출한 뒤에 소정의 변환을 하고 다시 압축해야 하는 번거로움과 불편한 점이 있다. 본 논문에서는, JPEG등의 정지영상 압축이나 MPEG-4와 H.264 등의 영상 압축 표준에서 널리 사용되는 DCT 변환에 의한 영상정보의 주파수 영역의 계수 값들의 부호나 이들 간의 상대적 위치를 적절히 바꿈으로써 공간적 영역에서의 원하는 기하학적 변환이 이루어지는 규칙을 발견하고 정리하였다. 본 저자들은 주파수 영역에서의 계수 값 변환 효과가 공간적 영역에 어떻게 나타나는지 수학적으로 유도하고 실제 JPEG 압축 파일에 본 방식을 적용하여 이미지를 변환시켜 그 성능을 검증하였다. 이 방법은 압축을 완전히 해제하지 않고도 공간적 영역에서의 변환을 달성할 수 있기 때문에 대용량의 간단한 이미지 암호화를 위한 경량암호화 시스템에 응용될 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 수치해석과 공압실험으로 핀틀 로켓에 적용된 핀틀 형상이 추력과 항력에 미치는 영향을 분석 하여 제시하였다. 핀틀 움직임으로 노즐목 면적이 감소할 때 연소실 압력은 부드럽게 증가한다. 그리고 핀틀 몸체의 압력에 의한 추력은 연소실 압력에 비례하여 증가하였으며 노즐 벽면 압력에 의한 추력 보다 큰 값을 가졌다. 그리고 노즐 내부의 충격파가 핀틀 형상과 압력비에 따라 변하기 때문에 노즐 벽면 압력에 의한 추력은 연소실 압력에 무관하였다. 핀틀에 의한 항력은 연소실 압력과 무관하게 완전히 선형적인 핀틀 형상에 서 최소 크기를 가졌다.

This work examines the most viable nuclear technology options for future underwater designs that would meet high safety standards as well as good economic potential, for construction in the 2030-2040 timeframe. The top five concepts selected from a survey of 13 nuclear technologies were compared to a small modular pressurized water reactor (PWR) designed with a conventional layout. In order of smallest to largest primary system size where the reactor and all safety systems are contained, the top five designs were: (1) a lead-bismuth fast reactor based on the Russian SVBR-100; (2) a novel organic cooled reactor; (3) an innovative superheated water reactor; (4) a boiling water reactor based on Toshiba's LSBWR; and (5) an integral PWR featuring compact steam generators. A similar study on potential attractive power cycles was also performed. A condensing and recompression supercritical $CO_2$ cycle and a compact steam Rankine cycle were designed. It was found that the hull size required by the reactor, safety systems and power cycle can be significantly reduced (50-80%) with the top five designs compared to the conventional PWR. Based on the qualitative economic consideration, the organic cooled reactor and boiling water reactor designs are expected to be the most cost effective options.
