In this paper, a low power, small area cyclic time-to-digital converter in All-Digital PLL for DVB-S2 application is presented. Coarse and fine TDC stages in the two-step TDC are shared to reduce the area and the current consumption maintaining the resolution since the area of the TDC is dominant in the ADPLL. It is implemented in a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process with a die area of 0.12 $mm^2$. The power consumption is 2.4 mW at a 1.2 V supply voltage. Furthermore, the resolution and input frequency of the TDC are 5 ps and 25 MHz, respectively.

This paper describes a CMOS time to digital converter (TDC) that measures the interval between two signals and converts to a digital signal. There are various methods to measure the time interval. But several architectures have a limitation in resolution and in conversion time. Moreover, they have complex algorithms. But the proposed TDC circuit has achieved a high resolution (25ps) by using a high-speed digital sampler and simple algorithm. The sampler detects when input signals comes into the TDC and output is coded. The proposed multiphase clock generator was also implemented to achieve 25p resolution.

In this paper, the realization of a directional digital hearing aid was considered. Conventional time domain time delay method was replaced with digital filters in order to make any general-purposed DSP (Digital Signal Processing) chip to produce the similar directivity pattern. Both the time delay algorithm and the digital filter algorithm were initially evaluated by Matlab (Matrix laboratory) for comparison, and it was confirmed by CSR 8675 Bluetooth DSP IC (Digital Signal Processing Integrated Circuit) chip firmware realization. Some remote control features by a smart phone was added to the smart hearing aid for user interface easiness.

This paper presents a simple and new digital redesign algorithm for fussy-model-based controllers. In the first stage, a continuous-time TS fuzzy model is constructed for a given continuous-time nonlinear system and a corresponding continuous-time fuzzy-model-based controller is established based on the existing controller synthesis algorithms. In the second stage, the continuous-time fuzzy-model-based controller is converted to equivalent discrete-time fuzzy-model-based controller, aiming at maintaining the property of the analogue controlled system, which are called intelligent digital redesign. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the digital control of inverted pendulum system to shows the effectiveness and the feasibility of the method.

The digital map expresses natural topography and artificial things with 3D position coordinates in the computer such as the road, railway, building, river, mountain, paddy and dryland. Therefore, those should contribute to the information-oriented society by maintaining information and providing it to users quickly. However it is difficult to maintain the most recent topographic information all the time because of restricted budget and time. The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the updating area of the digital map using remotely sensed data, and to furnish the useful information reducing cost and time. To predict updating area of the digital map, we applied the urban changes analysis method to Landsat TM images from produced date of the digital map to up-to-date. Classification method for urban change analysis applied single band process algorithm. This study presents that updating area of the digital map is predicted by only the rate of 40% on total research area.

A generalization to the Digital Prolate Spheroidal Sequences is investigated, so that the Generalized Digital Prolate Spheroidal Sequences(GDPSS's) can be used as a powerful time window with many desirable properties. The GDPSS's in the form of the time window has 3 parameters with which we can control the shape of the window freely. Hence, GDPSS's can be used as the very useful time windows especially for digital distance protection.

Recently, importance of digital forensics has increased and using analysis methods of digital evidence in the analysis of evidence of various types. However, analysis time and effort is steadily increasing because personal disk capacity is too big and it has many number of files. Most digital evidence has time property, such as access time, creation time, and modification time. These time information of digital evidence is one of most important factors in the digital forensic area. But if digital examiner simply analyze based on binary source only, it is possible to have wrong result because time has various types. In this paper, we classify various type of time in the digital evidence and describe advanced analysis method based on timeline chart for digital forensic investigation.

Radiation imaging systems consisting of a large number of channels greatly benefit from multiplexing methods to reduce the number of channels with minimizing the system complexity and development cost. In conventional pixelated radiation detector modules, such as anger logic, is used to reduce a large number of channels that transmit signals to a data acquisition system. However, these methods have limitations of electrical noise and distortion at the detector edge. To solve these problems, a multiplexing concept using a digital signal encoding technique based on a time delay method for signals from detectors was developed in this study. The digital encoding multiplexing (DEM) method was developed based on the time-over-threshold (ToT) method to provide more information including the activation time, position, and energy in one-bit line. This is the major advantage of the DEM method as compared with the traditional ToT method providing only energy information. The energy was measured and calibrated by the ToT method. The energy resolution and coincidence time resolution were observed as 16% and 2.4 ns, respectively, with DEM. The position was successfully distributed on each channel. This study demonstrated the feasibility that DEM was useful to reduce the number of detector channels.

In this paper, the optimal digital redesign is studied within the framework of fuzzy systems and dual-rate sampling control theory. An equivalent fast-rate discrete-time state-space model of the continuous-time system is constructed by using fuzzy inference systems. To obtain the optimal feedback gains developed in the continuous-time system, the constructed fuzzy system is converted into a continuous-time system. The developed continuous-time control law is converted into an equivalent slow-rate digital control law using the proposed digital redesign method. The digital redesign technique using a fuzzy model is employed to simulate the inverted pendulum dynamics.

The comparative detectability of the artificial defects among conventional radiographs, digital images and digital subtraction images was evaluated. The artificial defects were made within spogy bone of 24 unilateral mandibles of adult dogs. The results were as follows: 1. With normal exposure time, the detectability of digital subtraction radiographs was 90.3% which was statistically significant superior to those of conventional radiographs(78.0%) and digital images(75.9%) (p<0.05). 2. With half-exposure time, the detectability of conventional radiographs, digital images and digital subtraction radiographs was 68.4%, 67.3% and 69.9% respectively. There was no statistical significant difference among the detectability of these methods(p>0.05). 3. All radiographic images with normal exposure time showed statistically significant superior detectability to those with half-exposure time(p<0.05). 4. The detectability of digital subtraction radiographs was not linearly related to the standard deviation of the grey levels of reference line(p<0.05).
