In this paper, a low-area symbol timing offset synchronization structure for WLAN Modem is proposed. Using CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) coefficients and CSS(Common Sub-expression Sharing) technique for the filter implementation, efficient structure for multiplication block can be obtained. Function simulation for proposed structure is done by using the preamble with timing offset. Through Verilog-HDL coding and synthesis, it is shown that the proposed symbol timing offset synchronization structure can be implemented with low-area semiconductor.

This paper presents the Korean digit recognition method under noise environment using the spectral mapping training based on static supervised adaptation algorithm. In the presented recognition method, as a result of spectral mapping from one space of noisy speech spectrum to another space of speech spectrum without noise, spectral distortion of noisy speech is improved, and the recognition rate is higher than that of the conventional method using VQ (vector quatization) and DTW(dynamic time warping) without noise processing, and even when SNR level is 0dB, the recognition rate is 10 times of that using the conventional method. It has been confirmed that the spectral mapping training has an ability to improve the recognition performance for speech in noise environment.

Objectives : This study was designed to investigate the effects of Gastrodia elata Blume on the improvement of memory. Methods : This study was a 12 week, double blind, comparative clinical study. There were eligible who worked with a group of healthy seniors, all 60 years of age or older. 50 subjects were randomized either to Gastrodia elata Blume in powder form and steep in hot water or placebo. We measured the faculty of memory by using K-DRS, MMSE-K, Digit Span, Letter Fluency Test, Word List Memory Test, and the Trail Making Test, and after 12 weeks we measured the faculty of memory again using the same methods. Results : Gastrodia elata Blume steeps in the hot water group significantly increased. Initiation, perseveration level, and Memory level of K-DRS and MMSE-K score. There were no considerable differences between three groups in Digit Span and Trail Making Test score. Gastrodia elata Blume group showed significant advances in Letter Fluency Test and recognition of Word List Memory Test. Conclusions : The results suggest that Gastrodia elata Blume may have positive effects on memory improvement and function of the frontal lobe activation.

This paper describes an efficient algorithm to generate compact and complete prompts lists for connected spoken words speech corpus. In building a connected spoken digit recognizer, we have to acquire speech data in various contexts. However, in many speech databases the lists are made by using random generators. We provide an efficient algorithm that can generate compact and complete lists of digits in various contexts. This paper includes the proof of optimality and completeness of the algorithm.

In this paper, we propose speech control system for a various control device in the car with real time control speech. A real time speech control system is detected start-end points from speech data processing by A/D conversion, and recognize by one pass dynamic programming method. The results displays a monitor, and transports control data to control interfaces. The HMM model is modeled by a continuous control speech consists of control speech and digit speech for controlling of a various control device in the car The recognition rates is an average 97.3% in case of word & control speech, and is an average 96.3% in case of digit speech.

In this paper, a low-power 8-point DCT structure is proposed using add and shift operations. Proposed structure adopts 4 cycles for complete 8-point DCT in order to minimize size of hardware and to enable high-speed processing. In the structure, hardware for the first cycle can be shared in the next 3 cycles since all columns in the DCT coefficient matrix are common except sign. Conventional DCT structures implemented with only add and shift operation use CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) form coefficients to reduce the number of adders. To reduce the number of adders further, we propose a new structure using common sub-expression sharing techniques. With this techniques, the proposed 8-point DCT structure achieves 19.5% adder reduction comparison to the conventional structure using only CSD coefficient form.

In this paper, a low-power structure for 512 tap FIR filter in MPEG audio algorithm is proposed. By using CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) form filter coefficients and maximum sharing of input signal sample, it is shown that the number of adders of proposed structure can be minimized. To minimize the number of adders, the proposed structure utilizes the 4 steps of sharing, i.e., common input sharing, linear phase symmetric filter coefficient sharing, block sharing for common input, and common sub-expression sharing. Through Verilog-HDL coding, it is shown that reduction rates in the implementation area and relative power consumption of the proposed structure are 60.3% and 93.9% respectively, comparison to those of the conventional multiplier structure.

As a unique form of signed-digit representation, non-adjacent form (NAF) minimizes Hamming weight by removing a stream of non-zero bits from the binary representation of positive integer. Thanks to this strong point, NAF has been used in various applications such as cryptography, packet filtering and so on. In this paper, to improve the NAF conversion speed of the $NAF_w$ algorithm, we propose a new NAF conversion algorithm, called w-bit Shifting Non-Adjacent Form($SNAF_w$), where w is width of scanning window. By skipping some unnecessary bit comparisons, the proposed algorithm improves the NAF conversion speed of the $NAF_w$ algorithm. To verify the excellence of the $SNAF_w$ algorithm, the $NAF_w$ algorithm and the $SNAF_w$ algorithm are implemented in the 8-bit microprocessor ATmega128. By measuring CPU cycle counter for the NAF conversion under various input patterns, we show that the $SNAF_2$ algorithm not only increases the NAF conversion speed by 24% on average but also reduces deviation in the NAF conversion time for each input pattern by 36%, compared to the $NAF_2$ algorithm. In addition, we show that $SNAF_w$ algorithm is always faster than $NAF_w$ algorithm, regardless of the size of w.

계량기 숫자 인식은 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 아날로그 계량기에 카메라를 부착하여, 검침 시 숫자 계기판 영상을 전송받고, 그 영상으로부터 숫자를 추출 및 인식하는 기술이다. 계량기 숫자 인식에서는 카메라의 설치 상태 및 기타 환경적인 요인들로 인해 숫자 계기판 영상의 일관성 있는 취득이 어렵게 된다. 본 논문에서는 숫자 인식에 악영향을 미치는, 취득 영상의 상태 변화를 보정해주기 위해 잡영 제거 및 윤곽보존 숫자강화를 제안하였다. 잡영 제거를 위해 잡영을 분포 위치에 따라서 세 가지 타입으로 나누었으며, 각 타입별로 잡영 제거를 하였다. 윤곽보존 숫자강화 과정에서는 일반적인 이진화 기법이 가지는 테두리 정보손실을 최소화할 수 있도록, 숫자 테두리의 명도를 보존하면서 숫자 중심부분의 밝기를 강화시켰다. 전처리 전/후의 인식률 비교 실험을 위해 SVM(Support Vector Machines)을 사용하였으며, 학습 데이터 1,409장과 조명 상태를 달리하여 취득한 1,782의 테스트 데이터를 실험 데이터로 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 81.09%라는 성능 향상을 확인하였으며 이는 제안한 전처리 기법이 조명으로 인한 데이터의 상태 변화 문제를 해결해줌으로써 인식 성능 향상에 크게 기여한다는 것을 입증해준다.

In the high-speed/low-power digital filter applications like wireless communication systems, canonical signed digit(CSD) linear phase finite impulse response(FIR) filter structures are widely investigated. In this paper, we propose a high-speed/low-power CSD linear phase FIR filter structure using vertical common sub-expression. In the conventional linear phase CSD filter, horizontal common sub-expressions are utilized due to the inherent horizontal common sub-expression of symmetrical filter coefficients. We use the fact that their MSBs are also equal since adjacent filter coefficients have similar values in the linear phase filter Through the examples, it is shown that our proposed structure is more efficient in case that precision of implementation is lower, and tap length are longer.
