Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with multiple transmit antennas can exploit space-time block coding on each subchannel for reliable data transmission. Spacetime coded OFDM systems, however, are very sensitive to time variant channels because the channels need to be static over multiple OFDM symbol periods. In this paper, we propose to mitigate the channel variations in the frequency domain using a linear filter in the frequency domain that exploits the sparse structure of the system matrix in the frequency domain. Our approach has reduced complexity compared with alternative approaches based on time domain block-linear filters. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed frequency domain block-linear filter reduces computational complexity by more than a factor of ten at the cost of small performance degradation, compared with a time domain block-linear filter.

A simplified flowsheet for pyroprocessing commercial spent fuel is proposed in which the only salt treatment step is actinide drawdown from electrorefiner salt. Actinide drawdown can be performed using a simple galvanic reduction process utilizing the reducing potential of gadolinium metal. Recent results of equilibrium reduction potentials for Gd, Ce, Nd, and La are summarized. A description of a recent experiment to demonstrate galvanic reduction with gadolinium is reviewed. Based on these experimental results and material balances of the flowsheet, this new variant of the pyroprocessing scheme is expected to meet the objectives of minimizing cost, maximizing processing rate, minimizing proliferation risk, and optimizing the utilization of geologic repository space.

In this paper, the performance of DS-CDMA system with smart antenna is analyzed for different bandwidths (1.25MHz, 5MHz) and different channel environments (rural, urban). For the analysis of smart antenna system, the vector channel having the spatio-temporal correlation is modeled as a time- variant linear filter in time, and each multipath is assumed as a reflective wave from only one direction (only one cluster) in space. Several multipaths within one chip are distinguished into each one and the strongest signal is selected. DS-CDMA system with smart antenna using wider bandwidth present better performance than that using narrow bandwidth. It is shown that the smart antenna is more effective in urban area when using 2D-RAKE receiver.

In this paper an asymmetric hydraulic actuator which consists of single acting cylinder and servo valve is modeled for a quarter car active suspension system. This model regards the force as an internal state rather than a control input. The control input of the model is the sum of oil flows that pass through the valve's orifices. The resulting dynamic equation in the state space ap-pears a feedback connection of a nominal linear time in-variant term with a nonlinear bounded uncertain block. Since this model makes it possible to eliminate the force control phase, analysis and controller design are made straightforward and simple. Well known LQR method is then applied. Simulation and test rig experiment show the effectiveness of this approach in modeling and control.

The objective of this paper is to present a digital method for improving the lateral resolution of the B-scan images in the medical applications of ultrasound. The method is based upon a mathematical model of the lateral blurring caused by the finite beam width of the transducers. This model provides a simple method of applying a recursive scheme for image restoration with fast computation time. The point spread function (P.S.F.) can be measured by the reflective signals after scanning the small pins located along the depth of interest. From the measured P.S.F., one can compute the coefficient matrices of the inverse discrete-time dynamic state variable equation of the blurring process. Then, a recursive scheme for deblurring is applied to the recorded B-scan to improve the lateral resolution. One major advantage of the present recursive scheme over the transform method is in its applicability for the space-variant imaging, such as in the case of the rotational movement of transducer.

We consider the estimation of the regression surface in generalized linear models based on tensor-product B-splines in a data-dependent way. Our approach is to use maximum likelihood method to estimate the regression function by a function from a space of tensor-product B-splines that have a finite number of knots and are linear in the tails. The knots are placed at selected order statistics of each coordinate of the sample data. The number of knots is determined by minimizing a variant of AIC. A numerical example is used to illustrate the performance of the tensor spline estimates.

The coordination of locomotion and manipulation has been the typical and main issue for a mobile manipulator. This is particularly because the solution for the control parameters is redundant and the accuracies of controlling the each joints are different. This paper presents a motion planning method for which the mobile base locomotion is less precise than the manipulator control. In such a case, it is appropriate to move the mobile base to discrete poses and then to move the manipulator to track a prescribed path of the end effector, while the base is stationary. It uses a variant of the conventional manipulability measure that is developed for the trajectory control of the end effector of the mobile manipulator along an arbitrary path in the three dimensional space. The proposed method was implemented on the simulation and the experiments of a mobile manipulator and showed its effectiveness.

Recently, Brešar's Jordan {g, h}-derivations have been investigated on triangular algebras. As a first aim of this paper, we extend this study to an interesting general context. Namely, we introduce the notion of Jordan 𝒢_n-derivations, with n ≥ 2, which is a natural generalization of Jordan {g, h}-derivations. Then, we study this notion on path algebras. We prove that, when n > 2, every Jordan 𝒢_n-derivation on a path algebra is a {g, h}-derivation. However, when n = 2, we give an example showing that this implication does not hold true in general. So, we characterize when it holds. As a second aim, we give a positive answer to a variant of Lvov-Kaplansky conjecture on path algebras. Namely, we show that the set of values of a multi-linear polynomial on a path algebra KE is either {0}, KE or the space spanned by paths of a length greater than or equal to 1.

Detecting human face and facial landmarks automatically in an image is as essential step to a fully automatic face recognition system. In this paper, we present a new approach to detect automatically face and its eyes of input image with scale and rotation variations of faces by using an intensity based template matching with a single log-polar face template. In a template-based matching it is necessary to normalize the scale changes and rotations of an input image to a template ones. The log-polar mapping which simulates space-variant human visual system converts scale changes and rotations of input image into constant horizontal and cyclic vertical shifts in the output plane. Intelligent use of this property allows us to shift of the candidate log-polar faces mapped at various fixation points of an input image to be matched to a template over the log-polar plane. Thus, the proposed method eliminates the need of adapting multitemplate and multiresolution schemes, which inevitably give rise to intensive computation involved to cope with scale and rotation variations of faces. Through this scale and rotation involved to cope with scale and method can lead to detecting face and its eyes simultaneously. Experimental results on a database of 795 images show over 98% detection rate.

Liquid rocket engine system is classified into an engine of pressurization and turbo pump type by the way of fuel fed-supporting system. In the KSR-III sounding rocket, an engine of pressurization type was used, but there was lots of technical problems to be solved for a use as the first stage engine of space launch vehicle. So, an engine of turbo pump type was required to be developed to overcome the technical limitation of liquid rocket engine. In this research, the analysis of propellant of Kerosine-LOX and methane-LOX which are noticed as a future propellant was carried out for the purpose of studying the basic characteristics. And to review the basic characteristics of an engine of turbo pump type, among the sizing variant of the space launch vehicle, the ways of injecting a satellite to a direct orbit and transient orbit were discussed in this paper.
