This paper proposes an ultrasonic location system based on the spread spectrum principle. Though there are several conventional ultrasonic systems, the proposed system is the first one that combines spread spectrum and amplitude modulation principles. The proposed ultrasonic location system is advantageous in that it can improve positioning accuracy and detection sensitivity by the spread spectrum principle, it simplifies transmitter and receiver circuits, and it is easy to upgrade its performance by modifying only the software functionalities. By several real data experiments, the advantage and performance of the proposed location system is demonstrated.

In the context of effective usage of a scarce spectrum resource, emerging wireless communication standards will demand spectrum sharing with existing systems as well as multiple access with higher spectral efficiency. We mathematically analyze the sum throughput of a spectrum sharing space-division multiple access (SDMA) system, which forms a transmit null in the direction of other coexisting systems while satisfying orthogonal beamforming constraints. For a large number of users N, the SDMA throughput scales as log N at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ((J-1) loglog N at normal SNR), where J is the number of transmit antennas. This indicates that multiplexing gain of the spectrum sharing SDMA is $\frac{J-1}{J}$ times less than that of the non-spectrum sharing SDMA only using orthogonal beamforming, whereas no loss in multiuser diversity gain. Although the spectrum sharing SDMA always has lower throughput compared to the non-spectrum sharing SDMA in the non-coexistence scenario, it offers an intriguing opportunity to reuse spectrum already allocated to other coexisting systems.

인지무선 네트워크에서 2차사용자는 1차사용자의 전송이 감지되면 즉각 전송을 중단하고 새로운 유휴 스펙트럼을 찾아 빠르게 동기화를 해야 전송을 재개 할 수 있다. 대부분의 관련 연구에서는 별도의 공용 제어채널을 통해 2차사용자들이 같은 스펙트럼으로 동기화를 수행하는 것을 가정한다. 하지만, 상시 사용 가능한 채널이 별도로 존재한다는 가정은 인지무선 기술의 실제 구현과는 어울리지 않는다. 이 논문에서는 별도의 공용제어채널을 고려하지 않는 능동적 스펙트럼 동기화 기법을 제안한다. 2차송신자와 수신자는 주통신간에 주기적으로 서로의 스펙트럼 감지 결과를 교환한다. 그리고, 송수신자 모두 유휴로 탐지된 스펙트럼에 순차적으로 동기화를 실시하도록 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 USRP를 사용하여 구축된 실제 인지무선 환경에 적용하여 성능을 평가한다.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder defined by impairments in social interaction and verbal and nonverbal communication. Purpose: Determine the association between use of assisted reproduction technology (ART) and the risk of ASD among children. Methods: This case-control study included 300 participants (100 cases, 200 controls). The control group included women with a child aged 2-10 years without ASD, while the cases were women with a child aged 2-10 years with ASD. We used a researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Stata ver. 14 at the 0.05 significance level. Results: In the univariate analysis, there was significant association between child sex, delivery mode, history of preterm delivery, history of using ART, and maternal age at child's birth and the risk of ASD. After the adjustment for other variables, this association was significant for male sex (2.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11-4.31; P=0.001) and history of using ART (4.03; 95% CI, 1.76-9.21; P=0.001). Therefore, after the adjustment for confounder variables, there was no significant association between ART and the risk of ASD among children (4.98; 95% CI, 0.91-27.30; P=0.065). Conclusion: After the adjustment for other variables, risk factors for ASD were male sex and history preterm delivery. Thus, there was no significant association between ART and the risk of ASD among children.

A modified repetitive control is formulated and analyzed in the discrete-time domain. Sufficient conditions for the stability of a class of repetitive controllers are given by means of the regeneration spectrum method. When a periodic signal input is drived into the two-mass-spring plant, the performance of the proposed controller which comprises a low-pass filter and two feed-forward compensators, turns out highly accurate by comparing the tracking result from the conventional LQ controller.

A stochastic response spectrum method is proposed for simple evaluation of the structural response of an actively controlled aseismic structure. The response spectrum is constructed assuming a linear structure with an active mass damper (AMD) system, and an earthquake wave model given by the product of a non-stationary envelope function and a stationary Gaussian random process with Kanai-Tajimi power spectral density. The control design is executed using a linear quadratic Gaussian control strategy for an enlarged state space system, and the response amplification factor is given by the combination of the obtained statistical response values and extreme value theory. The response spectrum thus produced can be used for simple dynamical analyses. The response factors obtained by this method for a multi-degree-of-freedom structure are shown to be comparable with those determined by numerical simulations, demonstrating the validity and utility of the proposed technique as a simple design tool. This method is expected to be useful for engineers in the initial design stage for structures with active aseismic control.

본 논문에서는 CMOS 회로를 이용한 스프레드 스펙트럼 클록 발생기(SSCG)를 제안하고 구현하였다. 지연고정루프(DLL)의 저역통과필터(LPF)에 스프레드 스펙트럼 클럭 변조 로직에 의해 조절되는 전하펌프를 연결하여 전압 제어지연로직(VCDL)에 가해지는 제어전압을 조절함으로써 주파수의 변화를 유도하는 방법을 사용하였다. 이와 같은 구조에서는 변조 비율을 조절하기 위한 부가적인 회로가 필요없기 때문에 레이아웃 면적이 작아지게 되고 전력소모가 작아지는 장점을 갖는다. 스프레드 스펙트럼 클록 발생기는 UMC 0.25um 공정을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 및 레이아웃을 수행하였으며 전체 면적은 290um${\times}$120um^2 이다.

The purpose of this study was to develop the Cognitive Spectrum Program, a cognitive development program designed to increase children's IQ. The effect of this program was verified using a nonequivalent control group design. The subjects were 127 5-8 year old children. 56 children were assigned to the experimental group and 71 children to the control group. The experimental group participated in thirteen 90 min. long sessions. Quantitative analyses using SPSS WIN 18.0 and qualitative analyses were carried out. The results were as follows: First, this Cognitive Spectrum Program was shown to be effective in improving cognitive development. Second, the amount of improvement in cognitive development was found to be predictive of the amount of change in socioemotional development, demonstrating that attention deficits and overall problem behaviors were greatly reduced among the children whose IQ was improved by this program. This finding was also verified through qualitative analyses.

In this study, a standard illuminant A type LED that has similar emission spectrum as the standard illuminant A was developed using LED chip(emission peak: 405[nm]) and four types of phosphors(blue, green orangered and red). Using the design of experiment for spectrum control, the trend of the change of spectrum shape influenced by the change of interaction among phosphors and their density could be examined. Computer simulation through the optimization of the design of experiment revealed that, among four phosphors, the most influential one on the shape of the spectrum was green phosphor. Using the obtained optimal combination ratio of the four phosphors, an alternative LED illuminant to the actual standard illuminant A was developed and the spectrums of these two were confirmed identical. Using this standard illuminant A type LED, a portable transmittance meter with the range of measurement error of ${\pm}1.0$[%] was developed.

In this paper, a new ARMA spectrum estimation algorithm based on Circular Lattice filter is presented. Since APMA model is used in signal modeling, high-resolution spectrum can be obtained. And the computational burden is reduced by using Circular Lattice filter. By modifying the input estimation part of other proposed methods, we can get high-resolution spectrum with less computation and less memory compared with other Lattice methods. Some computer simulations are performed.
