An experimental study of the dynamic characteristics of the free rising oblate spherical bubble is investigated. As noted by Saffman, the characteristics of the spiral motion are defined with parameters of the spiral frequency, spiral radius, and rising velocity. High speed camera recorded every detail information of free rising bubble. The spiral number, the bubble rise velocity, and the angular velocities were measured for the bubble size between 1.0mm to 20.0mm in diameter. In order to make clear trajectory, we employed the Fast Fourier Transformation for the normal digital camera data to synchronize with the high speed camera data. It was found that the spiral number suggested here was monotonically decreased as the bubble size increases. The present observation, however tells us that previous Saffman's formulation shows a good agreement with the trend, but over estimated spiral number. Therefore, it is recommended that Saffman's theoretical study is needed to be improved.

New features of motion compensation, such as variable block size and multiple reference frames are introduced in H.264/AVC. However, these new features induce significant implementation complexity increases. In this paper, an efficient architecture for spiral-type motion estimation is proposed. First, we propose a hardware-friendly spiral search order. Then, an efficient processing element (PE) architecture for ME is proposed to achieve the proposed search order. The improved PE enables one-pixel-move of the reference pixel data to top, bottom, right, and left by four ports for input and output. Moreover, the parallel calculation architecture to calculate all block size with the SAD of 4x4 is introduced in the proposed architecture. As the result of hardware implementation, the hardware cost is about 145k gates. Maximum clock frequency is 134 MHz in the case of FPGA (Xilinx Vertex5) implementation.

Objectives : This study was designed to estimate the effects of Spiral Taping theraphy on low back pain or neck pain patients by using pressure pain threshold, visual analogue scale(VAS), and range of motion(ROM). Methods : The patients were allocated into two groups by randomisation. Spiral Taping theraphy group consisted of 11 patients and acupuncture theraphy group consisted of 10 patients. The degree of improvement of neck pain was evaluated by pressure pain threshold, VAS, and ROM before treatment and after treatment. The patients were commonly treated with acupuncture theraphy. After acupuncture Spiral Taping theraphy was peformed in Spiral Taping theraphy group. Results : Pressure pain threshold and VAS were significantly different between two groups. In Spiral Taping theraphy group the pressure pain threshold of the all points was significantly increased and VAS was significantly decreased than control group. But there was no significant difference between the two groups in ROM. Conclusion : The effectiveness of Spiral Taping theraphy on low back pain and neck pain patients was shown through pressure algometer and VAS. These imply that Spiral Taping theraphy may be useful for on low back pain or neck pain. Further study is needed about Spiral Taping theraphy.

본 논문에서 정수단위 화소(integer pixel unit)로 움직임 예측(motion estimation)을 수행하는 빠른 움직임 예측(fast motion estimation) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은, sum norm을 사용하여 가장 좋은 움직임 벡터를 찾아내는 연속 제거 기법(SEA : Successive Elimination Algorithm)을 기반으로 16×16블록에서는 전체 영역에 대해 검색을 하고 16×8, 8×16, 8×8블록에서는 16×16블록의 움직임 벡터로부터 그 주위 8개의 위치에서 가장 좋은 벡터를 구하고, 8×4, 4×8, 4×4블록은 8×8블록의 움직임 벡터로부터 그 주위 8개의 위치에서 벡터를 검색하여 그 중에서 가장 좋은 움직임 벡터를 찾아내는 것이다. 이러한 움직임 검색(motion search) 방법을 가변 크기 블록(16×16, 16×8, 8×16, 8×8, 8×4, 4×8, 4×4)으로 움직임 예측을 하는 H.264 부호기(encoder)에 적용하였다. 제안하는 검색 알고리즘을 계산 복잡도 측면에서 보면, 조기 종료가 적용 안 된 나선형으로 전체 영역을 검색(Spiral full search without early termination)하는 방법보다 23.8배가 빨라졌고, 4×4 블록들의 계층적 SAD(Sum of Absolute Difference)를 이용하는 빠른 움직임 예측 방식보다 4.6배의 속도증가를 보인다. 반면에 신호 대 잡음 비(PSNR : Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)는 0.1dB에서 0.4dB정도 떨어짐을 보인다.

In this paper, we present a fast algorithm for the motion estimation using the efficient selection of an initial search position. In the method, we select the initial search position using the motion vector from the subsmpled images, the predicted motion vector from the neighbor blocks, and the (0,0) motion vector. While searching the candidate blocks, we use the spiral search pattern with the successive elimination algorithm(SEA) and the partial distortion elimination(PDE). The experiment results show that the complexity of the proposed algorithm is about 2∼3 times faster than the three-step search(TSS) with the PSNR loss of just 0.05［dB］∼0.1［dB］ than the full search algorithm PSNR. The search complexity can be reduced with quite a few PSNR loss by controling the number of the depth in the spiral search pattern.

본 논문에서는 인접 블록 움직임 벡터의 통계적 특성을 이용한 가변 탐색 스텝의 고속 움직임 추정 기법에 대해 제안한다. 인접 블록 움직임 벡터들 사이의 상관 관계를 이용하여 움직임 추정을 위한 탐색 영역을 적응적으로 결정하였으며, 이를 통해 불필요한 탐색 지점 수를 제거할 수 있었다. 이와 같이 결정된 탐색 영역을 기반으로 가변 탐색 스텝 움직임 추정을 적용하였으며 움직임 추정을 위한 연산량을 줄일 수 있었다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안 방식이 H.264 JM의 고속 전 대역 spiral 탐색 기법과 기타 고속 움직임 추정 방식과 비교하여 부호화 성능의 저하 없이 움직임 추정을 위한 탐색 지점 수 및 연산 량이 급격히 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Spiral tube heat exchangers can find numerous applications in many engineering fields. Flow in spiral tubes is interest to engineers due to occurrence of secondary flow which enhances the cross-sectional mixing and the heat transfer rate. In the present study, an incompressible viscous 3-D flow in spiral tubes with rectangular cross-section of various torsion rate and Reynolds number is studied by using a finite volume method. It is shown that the axial velocity profile is affected by the secondary flow motion. Because there is some difference from correlation proposed by Hur et al., a lot of analysis and arrangement of experimental results are needed. This study showed the results of variation of hydrodynamic entry length for torsion and Re numbers.
