케이블 방송망에서 최대 10Gbps 테이터 전송을 위해 최근 북미에서 표준화된 DOCSIS 3.1(Data over Cable Service Interface Specifications Version 3.1)에서는 고차 혼합 변조(Mixed Modulation) 방식을 제시하였다. DOCSIS 3.1 은 하향 데이터 전송을 위해 최대 192MHz 의 대역에서 4K 또는 8K 다중 직교 반송파를 사용한다. 특히 채널 오류 정정을 위한 채널 부호화 방법으로 유럽의 차세대 케이블 방송 표준인 DVB-C2(Digital Video Broadcasting - Cable Version 2)에 정의된 BCH(Bose, Chaudhuri, and Hocquenghem)와 LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) 연접부호를 사용한다. 단, DOCSIS 3.1 에서는 DVB-C2 와 달리 부호율 8/9 의 Short Mode 부호만을 사용하며 최대 16384-QAM 까지 사용한다. 하나의 부호율을 사용하기 때문에 QAM 차수에 따른 요구 SNR 의 차가 크게 된다. 주어진 채널 상황에서 최적의 전송용량을 얻기 위해 QAM 차수에 따른 요구 SNR 의 차를 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 혼합 변조가 도입되었으며, 본 논문에서는 혼합 변조에 따른 수신 성능을 제시한다.

Noise of digital camera has been noticeable to its users. Particularly, noise of a barrel assembly module in zoom in/zoom out operation is recorded while taking a video. Reduction of barrel noise becomes crucial but there are not many studies on noise of digital camera due to its short history of use. In this study, experiment-based analyses are implemented to identify sources of noise and vibration because of complexity and compactness of the barrel system. Output noise is acquired in various operation conditions using synchronization for spectral analysis. Noise sources of a barrel assembly in zoom operating are first identified by the comparison with gear frequency analysis and then correlation analysis between noise and vibration is applied to confirm the generation path of noise. Analysis on noise transfer characteristic of zoom module is also carried out in order to identify the most contributing components. One of possible countermeasures of noise in zoom operating is investigated by an experimental approach.

The performance of a direct-injection diesel engine often depends on the strength of swirl or squish, the shape of combustion chamber, the number of nozzle holes, etc. This is natural because the combustion in the cylinder was affected by the mixture formation process. Since the available duration to make the mixture formation of air-fuel is very short, it is difficult to make complete mixture. Therefore, an early stage of combustion is violent, which leads to the weakness of noise and vibration. In this paper, the combustion process of a common-rail diesel engine was studied by employing two kinds of pistons. One has several grooves with inclined plane on the piston crown to generate swirl during the compression and expansion strokes in the cylinder in order to improve the atomization of fuel. The other is a toroidal piston, generally used in high speed diesel engines. To take photographs of flame and flaming duration, a four-stroke diesel engine was remodeled into a two-stroke visible single cylinder engine and a high speed video camera was used.

Traffic lights at night are usually framed in the image as bright regions bigger than the real size due to glow effect. Moreover, the colors of lighting region saturate to white. So it is difficult to distinguish between different traffic lights at night. Many related studies have tried to decrease the glow effect in the process of capturing images. Some studies drastically decreased the shutter time of the camera to reduce the adverse effect by the glow. However, this makes the video too dark. This study proposes a new idea which utilizes the glow effect. It examines the outer radial region of traffic light. It presents an algorithm to discriminate the color of traffic light by the analysis of the outer radial region. The advantage of the proposed method is that it can recognize traffic lights in the image captured by an ordinary black box camera. Experimental results using seven short videos show the performance of traffic light recognition reporting the precision of 96.4% and the recall of 98.2%. These results show that the proposed method is valid and effective.

The other is a toroidal single cavity piston, generally used in high speed diesel engines. To take photographs of flame and flaming duration, a four-stroke diesel engine was remodeled into a two-stroke visible single cylinder engine and a high speed video camera was used.

We are living in epoch of information when Internet touches all aspects of our lives. Therefore, it provides a plenty of services each of which benefits people in different ways. Electronic Mail (E-mail), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Voice/Video Communication, Search Engines are bright examples of Internet services. Between them Social Network Services (SNS) continuously gain its popularity over the past years. Most popular SNSs like Facebook, Weibo and Twitter generate millions of data every minute. Twitter is one of SNS which allows its users post short instant messages. They, 100 million, posted 340 million tweets per day (2012)[1]. Often big amount of data contains lots of noisy data which can be defined as uninteresting and unclassifiable data. However, researchers can take advantage of such huge information in order to analyze and extract meaningful and interesting features. The way to collect SNS data as well as tweets is handled by crawlers. Twitter crawler has recently emerged as a great tool to crawl Twitter data as well as tweets. In this project, we develop Twitter Crawler system which enables us to extract Twitter data. We implemented our system in Java language along with MySQL. We use Twitter4J which is a java library for communicating with Twitter API. The application, first, connects to Twitter API, then retrieves tweets, and stores them into database. We also develop crawling strategies to efficiently extract tweets in terms of time and amount.

A platform diving with categorizing 624C motion was video taped and 3D kinematic variables were analyzed. This motion is consist of 3 parts from the headstand position to the act of turning after take-off. The results indicated that it took a very short time from the moment of take-off to the act of 1/2 turning because the turning motion has already started from preparing motion even before the fingertips have parted from the ground. Also, there was barely any jumping height due to the use of upper limbs segment and there was little difference in the moving distance compared to the standing events judging from horizontal movement of 1.1m. The horizontal velocity of the center of human body was increased before take-off while the vertical velocity was decreased right after take-off and the velocity of lower limbs segment was faster than the upper limbs segment showing contrary results to the standing events. In the aspects of angular velocity, the upper limbs segment starts the turning motion when take-off by rapidly extending its angular velocity while lower limbs segment make large angular velocity even before take-off.

This paper presents an experimental investigation to visualize cross-sectional two-phase flow structure and identify liquid-gas interface for condensation of steam at a low mass flux in a slightly inclined tube using the axial-viewing technique, which permits to look directly into flow during condensation of steam. In this technique, two-phase flow is viewed along the axis of a pipe by locating a high-speed video camera in front of a viewer that is fitted at the outlet of the pipe. A short section of the pipe is illuminated and is recorded through the viewer, which is kept free of liquid by mildly introducing air. Experiments were conducted in a pipe of 19.05 mm in inner diameter at atmospheric pressure. Cross-sectional two-phase flow structure is obtained at a steam mass flux of $2.62kg/m^2s$ as a function of steam quality in the range from 0.5 to 0.9. The results show that stratified-wavy flow is a unique flow pattern observed in the scope of the present study. Condensate film thickness, stratification angle and void fraction were measured from the obtained flow structure images. Finally, heat transfer coefficient was calculated using the measurement data and discussed in comparison with existing correlations.

Between February and July 1992, videothoracoscopic bullectomy was performed in nineteen patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax. The indications of this surgery are recurrent in 12, persistent airleakage in 4 and previous contralateral pneumothorax in 3 patients. For the good operative field, we used double lumen endotracheal tube and put the CO2 gas into the thoracic cavity to make the lung collapse. We usually apply the endoGIA or electric cauterization for handling the bleb or bullae and there were 9 cases with of endoGIA only, 4 electric cauterization only and 6 both procedures. To evaluate the advantage of the Videothoracoscopic surgery, we compared surgical results with that of the tho-racotomy group[19 patients]. There were significant differences in operative time[93.8$\pm$41.9 min and 17.1$\pm$53.9 min, p< 0.01] and postoperative airleakage duration[35.6$\pm$113.3 hours and 117.9$\pm$214.4 hours, p<0.05] between the Videothoracoscopy and thoracotomy group. Tube indwelling time was shortened in Videothoracoscopy group[p<0.05]. The hospital stay was very short[p<0.01] and the patients needed analgesic injection less frequentley in videthoracoscopic group[p<0.05] In conclusion, we prefer the Videothoracoscopic procedure to the thoracotomy in uncomplicateed patients with pneumothorax because of simple procedure and good results.
