The electronic expansion valve (EEV) may be used to control the refrigerant flow rate for the multi-type heat pump. Stepping motor driven EEV may precisely control the refrigerant flow rate to meet each internal load requirement. To control the EEV, PI algorithm may be used. But the hysteresis of EEV deteriorates the performance of superheat control. To reduce the performance degradation, the PI algorithm along with the dither signal may be used. The dither signal, with about 10 times higher frequency than the system crossover frequency and about 10 times larger magnitude than the deadband of hysteresis, was selected for the superheat control of EEV. Experimental results showed the improvement of EEV control by adding the dither signal to the PI algorithm.

This paper presents an improved signal processing technique in the square-wave-type voltage injection method for IPMSM sensorless drives. Since the sensorless method based on the square-wave voltage injection does not use low-pass filters to get an error signal for estimating rotor position and allows the frequency of the injected voltage signal to be high, the sensorless drive system may achieve an enhanced control bandwidth and reduced acoustic noise. However, this sensorless method still requires low-pass and band-pass filters to extract the fundamental component current and the injected frequency component current from the motor current, respectively. In this paper, these filters are replaced by simple arithmetic operations so that the time delay for estimating the rotor position can be effectively reduced to only one current sampling. Hence, the proposed technique can simplify its whole signal process for the IPMSM sensorless control using the square-wave-type voltage injection. The proposed technique is verified by the experiment on the 800W IPMSM drive system.

P-wave characteristic in the human electrocardiogram (ECG) is important in the diagnosis of atrial conduction pathology. In this paper, we measured an ECG signal from patient with cardiovascular disease using one lead ECG electrode system which is based on the wireless cardiac monitoring system. And we detected a P-wave in ECG signal using the complex-valued continuous wavelet transforms (CWT) according to two kinds of patch type electrodes such as an existing narrow patch type electrode and the improved wide patch type electrode presented in this paper. Also, we compared the characteristics in detecting the P-wave in terms of the magnitude and the width of P-waves. From the results of comparison we found that the width and the magnitude of P-wave detected using the wide patch type electrode is improved to be interpreted easier compared to those using the narrow patch type electrode. Furthermore, we have also proven that the complex-valued CWT can be used as a robust detector for P-wave in ECG signal analysis.

This paper proposes a new Sense Amplifier for MRAM. Current Sense Amplifier employs a latch-type circuit to amplify a signal from the selected memory cell. The proposed Sense Amplifier simplifies the circuit by amplifying the signal using cross-coupled PMOS transistors. It shows the same operation speed as the latch-type Sense Amplifier in simulation and occupies only 85% of the area taken by the latch-type Sense Amplifier.

The secretion efficiency of a protein in a Sec-type secretion system is mainly determined by an N-terminal signal peptide and its combination with its cognate protein. Five signal peptides, namely, two synthetic Sec-type and three Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase-derived signal peptides, were compared for periplasmic expression of the human growth hormone (hGH) in E. coli. Based on in silico predictions on the signal peptides' cleavage efficiencies and their corresponding mRNA secondary structures, a number of amino acid substitutions and silent mutations were considered in the modified signal sequences. The two synthetic signal peptides, specifically designed for hGH secretion in E. coli, differ in their N-terminal positively charged residues and hydrophobic region lengths. According to the mRNA secondary structure predictions, combinations of the protein and each of the five signal sequences could lead to different outcomes, especially when accessibility of the initiator ATG and ribosome binding sites were considered. In the experimental stage, the two synthetic signal peptides displayed complete processing and resulted in efficient secretion of the mature hGH in periplasmic regions, as was demonstrated by protein analysis. The three alpha-amylase-derived signal peptides, however, were processed partially from their precursors. Therefore, to achieve efficient secretion of a protein in a heterologous system, designing a specific signal peptide by using a combined approach of optimizations of the mRNA secondary structure and the signal peptide H-domain and cleavage site is recommended.

Purpose: To classify and describe the characteristic features of MRI of some ameloblastoma variants. Materials and Methods: The MR images, CT images, and panoramic radiographs in 5 cases were retrospectively examined as follows. First, the contents of ameloblastomas were devided into two portions of either solid or cystic components on the basis of MR signal intensities. The signal intensity within the solid or cystic portions was classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous. Next, the characteristic internal feature of the lesion on T1W1 or T2WI was described. The signal intensities were classified into low, intermediate, slightly high, high, and strong high signal intensity. Results: Unicystic lesion showed homogeneous high signal intensity (SI) on T2W2 and the rim enhancement of the surrounding area including the mural nodule and the thick wall except the central portion on Gd- T1W1. Solid type revealed heterogeneous and high SI area with strong high SI area on T2W2. On Gd- T1W1, the area corresponding to the low signal spot on T1W1 and the strong high signal spot on T2W1 showed low SI. Hybrid type showed slightly enhanced capsular structures and low SI for the round bony septa and the areas connecting the mixed and cystic lesions on T2Wl and Gd-T1W1. Conclusion: MRI could easily assess the relationship between the mixed and cystic findings in ameloblastoma.

This paper investigates active noise control of tower-type air conditioners using the filtered-x least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm to reduce fan blower noise transmission. Firstly, the main components required for the active control system including the error sensor, the control speaker and the reference sensors are selected. Since the noise could significantly reduce if the reference signal includes every frequency response information, a various reference signals from accelerometers and a microphone are used. Secondly, the controller based on the FXLMS algorithm with a single-channel reference signal is implemented. Then, the control performance is examined experimentally for the different reference signals. It is found that the accelerometer signal well possesses the motor vibration related noise and a microphone signal could includes global noise. When using the reference signal with a microphone located near the motor and the fan blower, the active control system reduces the noise globally, except for several peaks.

본 연구의 목적은 스마트 헬스케어를 위해 접촉식 직물전극의 구조가 심장활동 신호 획득에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 심장활동 신호 측정을 위하여 전극의 크기와 구성방식을 조작한 6종의 접촉식 직물전극을 컴퓨터 자수 방식으로 구현하였고, 이를 가슴밴드에 부착하여 응용형 리드 II(modified Lead II) 방식으로 심장활동 신호를 검출하였다. 건강한 신체의 남성 4명을 대상으로 서서 정지한 자세에서 각 직물전극을 사용하여 심장활동 신호를 검출하였으며, 모든 유형의 전극에 걸쳐 4회씩 반복측정 하였다. 심장활동 신호의 수집을 위해 BIOPAC ECG100 장비를 사용하여 1 kHz로 샘플링하였으며, 검출된 원 신호를 대역통과 필터를 사용하여 필터링하였다. 직물전극의 구조에 따른 심장활동 신호 획득의 성능을 비교하기 위하여 신호의 파형과 크기를 파라미터로 하여 정성적 분석을 실시하였고, 각 전극을 통하여 획득된 심장활동 신호의 SPR(signal power ratio)을 산출함으로써 정량적 분석을 실시하였다. 산출된 SPR 값을 대상으로 하여 비모수 통계분석 방식의 차이검정과 사후검정을 실시함으로써 6개 전극의 구조에 따른 심장활동 신호 획득의 성능 차이를 구체적으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 접촉식 직물전극의 구조에 따라 심장활동 신호의 품질에는 정성적, 정량적 측면에 걸쳐 모두 주요한 차이가 있는 것이 고찰되었다. 접촉식 직물전극의 구성 측면에 있어서는 입체전극이 평면전극에 비해 더 우수한 품질의 신호가 검출되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 3가지 전극 크기에 따른 심장활동 신호 획득의 유의한 성능 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 심장활동 신호 획득을 위한 접촉식 직물전극 구조의 두 가지 요건 중 구성방식(평면/입체)이 웨어러블 헬스케어를 위한 심장활동 신호 획득의 성능에 주요한 영향을 미치는 것을 시사한다. 본 연구 결과를 기반으로 후속 연구에서는 직물전극이 일체형으로 통합된 의복형 플랫폼을 구현하고 성능 고도화 방안을 연구함으로써, 시공간의 제약 없이 고품질의 심장활동 모니터링이 가능한 스마트 의류 기술을 개발하고자 한다.

Four different FITC-conjugated lectins were used to visually evaluate lectin binding activity by optical staining quality using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) of Cochzodinium polykrikoides in nature (wild type) and culture (cultured type). Cells from the field and cultures treated with ConA fluoresced only at the outer cell wall, and the abundance and distribution of the fluorescent signal were similar. Treatment with PWM and HPA did not elicit fluorescence at the cell surface, but the wild type exposed to HPA showed greater binding than did the cultured cells, possibly due to greater concentrations of glucosamine. The wild type cells treated with LBL lectin showed a strong green fluorescence on the cell surface, whereas cultured cells did not. Signal intensity and abundance were greater than for any other lectins tested in this study. These results suggest that wild type and cultured type are significantly different based on surface sugar production. In particular, the wild type cells apear richer in galactosamine-like moieties. Neither glucose nor mannose-like moieties were present in either wild types or cultured cells.
