For the effective management of medical images, it becomes popular to use computing machines in medical practice, namely PACS. However, the amount of image data is so large that there is a lack of storage space. We usually use data compression techniques to save storage, but the process speed of machines is not fast enough to meet surgical requirement. So a special hardware system processing medical images faster is more important than ever. To meet the demand for high speed image processing, especially image compression and decompression, we designed and implemented the medical image CODEC (COder/DECoder) based on MISD (Multiple Instruction Single Data stream) architecture to adopt parallelism in it. Considering not being a standard scheme of medical image compression/decompression, the CODEC is designed programable and general. In this paper, we use JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) algorithm to process images and evalutate the CODEC.

Generally, the laser vision sensor makes it possible design a highly reliable and precise range sensor at a low cost. When the laser vision sensor is applied to lap joint welding, however. there are many limitations. Therefore, a specially-designed hardware system has to be used. However, if the multi-lines are used instead of a single line, multi-range data .:an be generated from one image. Even under a set condition of 30fps, the generated 2D range data increases depending on the number of lines used. In this study, a laser vision sensor with a multi-line pattern is developed with conventional CCD camera to carry out high speed seam tracking in lap joint welding.

This paper examined dynamic characteristics of high speed trains using a time varying frequency transform. Fourier transform based methods are frequently used for the calculation of the dynamic characteristics of trains in the frequency domain, but they cannot represent the time-varying characteristics. Therefore it is necessary to examine their characteristics using a time-varying frequency transform. For the examination, the non-stationary vibration of wheelset, bogie, and carbody are measured using accelerometers and stored in a data aquisition system. They are processed with localization of the data by modulating with a window function, and Fourier transform is taken to each localized data, called the short-time Fourier transform. From the processed results, time varying auto-spectral density, cross-spectral density, frequency response, and coherence functions have been calculated. From the analysis, it is confirmed that the time varying frequency transform is a useful method for analyzing the dynamic characteristics of high speed trains.

Tilting train has been developed to increase the operational speed of the trains on conventional lines which have many curves. The train are tilted at curves to compensate for unbalanced carbody centrifugal acceleration to a greater extent than compensation produced by the track cant, so that passengers do not feel centrifugal acceleration and thus trains can run at higher speed at curves. This paper developed PDM(product data management) to make a system engineering of TTX(Tilting Train eXpress) with maximum operation speed of 180 km/h.

In this paper, we propose a new fractal image decoding algorithm with fast convergence speed by using the data dependence and the improved initial image estimation. Conventional method for fractal image decoding requires high-degrdd computational complexity in decoding process, because of iterated contractive transformations applied to whole range blocks. On proposed method, Range of reconstruction imagte is divided into referenced range and data dependence region. And computational complexity is reduced by application of iterated contractive transformations for the referenced range only. Data dependence region can be decoded by one transformations when the referenced range is converged. In addition, more exact initial image is estimated by using bound () function in case of all, and an initial image more nearer to a fixed point is estimated by using range block division estimation. Consequently, the convergence speed of reconstruction iamge is improved with 40% reduction of computational complexity.

In this paper, The author designed on high speed VLD(Variable Length Decoder) using shift buffer. Variable Length Decoder is received N bit data from input block and decode the input signal using Shifting Buffer, Length Decoder and Symbol Decoder blocks. The inner part of shifting buffer in proposed Variable Length Decoder is filled input data and then operating therefore, the proposed structure can improve the decoded speed. And in this paper we applying pipeline structure therefore data is decoded in every clock.

To investigate the building wind characteristics of skyscraper nearby areas, two points were selected and the wind speed and the wind direction data were measured using 2-D ultrasonic anemometer and propeller type wind monitor during the winter time. The study site is Dohgok-dong, Seoul. After measurement, wind data whose speed is equal to or more than Beaufort level five were selected, classified and analyzed in terms of direction, velocity level and hourly difference. The prevailing wind point is higher than street canyon in terms of intensity and frequency. The main direction is also different. This study aims to figure out the phenomena of building wind impact and also to provide essential basic data for establishing proper guidelines in building wind impact assessment for skyscrapers in Korea.

Cyclic prefix (CP) is one of the most important technique to OFDM system and is reducing inter-symbol interference (ISI) effects in high speed wireless mobile communication system. At the time varying channel condition, however, fixed CP length is not only increasing power consumption but also reducing data transmission rate. So in this paper, we propose the system that has adaptive CP length for high speed data transmission system. We don't control CP length of every symbol but adjust symbol interval depending on channel condition to CP reconstruction.

Rotating annular disks are widely used in data storage devices such as CDs, DVDs(digital versatile disks), and HDs(hard disks). Higher data transfer rate in data storage disks could not be achieved by polycarbonate disks in the present market. The problem can be solved by applying the fiber-reinforce composite materials to the disks. In this paper, an application of composite materials to rotating disks is proposed to increase the critical speed. Dynamic equation is formulated in order to calculate the natural frequency and critical speed for rotating composite by the Galerkin method. The results show that the radially reinforced disk is more effective in increasing critical speed than the circumferentially reinforced disk.
