This paper proposes a built-in self-test tchnique for CMOS circuits. To detect a stuck-open fault in CMOS circuits, two consequent test patterns is required. The ordered pairs of test patterns for stuck-open faults are generated by feedback shift registers of extended length. A nonlinear feedback shift register is designed by the merging method and reordering algorithms of test patterns proposed in this paper. And a new multifunctional BILBO (Built-In Logic Block Observer) is designed to perform both test pattern generation and signature analysis efficiently.

This paper presents a method which can recognized the Handwritten Korean characters by using a Context-Free Grammar. The input characters are thinned in order to dwindle the mount of data, the thinned characters are converted into one-dimension strings according to six-forms. when the point of contact among phonemes is found, two phonemes are seperated respectively by marking the index mark (\) at the points. The Context-Free Grammar to input characters is classified into group grammars concerning the similarity of phonemes, input characters are parsed by making use of the Pushdown automata method. As the bent parts in the Handwritten characters are found frequently, We try to correct the bent parts by using the parsing distance measure, which recognize characters according to minium value caused by measuring the weight distance between two sentences. In this experiment, the recognition rate shows 93.8% to 275 Handwritten Korean characters.

This paper proposed an analysis method of common form for phonemes which is able to construct a Hangul syllable and designed the Choseong, Jungseong, and Jongseong phoneme fonts based on analized information. Also, It presents the algorithm which is able to construct the output of all Hangul syllables using 473 phoneme fonts. Through the experiment, an analized information and output algorithm could be applied to the design of Hangul fonts, effectively.

A design of scanning electrode driving IC chip has been implemented aiming at the application to liquid crystal color television displays. The chip reflects the design characteristics of high quality liquid crystal panels and satisfies specifications of NTSC type color television displays. The design was verified using logic and circuit simulation, and fabricated using a high voltage CMOS process. A fully working die has been obtained that can be readily applicable to commercial color liquid crystal panels.

The standard definition of computational vision is a set of inverse problems of recovering surfaces from images. Thus the common characteristics of the most early vision problems are ill-posed. The main idea for solving ill-posed problems is to restrict the class of admissible solutions by introducing suitable a priori knowledge. Standard regurarization methods lead to satisfactory solutions of early vision problems but cannot deal effectively and directly with a few general problems, such as discontinuity and fusion of information from multiple modules. In this paper, we discuss limitations of standard regularization theory and present new stochastic method. We will outline a rigorous approach to overcome part of ill-posedness of image restoration, edge detection, and stereo vision problems, based on Bayes estimation and MRF(Markov random field) model, that effectively deals with the problems. This result makes one hope that this framework could be useful in the solution of other vision problems.

A new algorithm for filling the interior of contours and labelling each filled region concurrently is presented. Filling is simply accomplished by inversion method. The labelling information in every scan lines is extracted directly from current direction of chain code so that the proposed algorithm needs less comparision and is more efficient. The contours are followed by two different directions, clockwise for the outer contour and counterclockwise for the inner contour to get filling and labelling information. This algorithm can be applied in case that contours are nested or regions are continous. Simulataneously the proposed algorithm can find the structure tree of object without additional post processing.

Color image enhancement can be achieved easily by using linear form of coordinate system. But some popular color coordinate systems almost have nonlinear characteristics in the geometric form. In this paper, the proposed coordinate system has pseudo-linear form and based on IHS system which represents human color perception appropriately. And for the image intensity processing, an edge-preserving smoothing algorithm is presented.

In this paper the back-propagation algorithm through omitting redundant learning has been proposed to improve learning speed. The proposed algorithm has been applied to XOR, Parity check and pattern recognition of hand-written numbers. The decrease of the number of patterns to be learned has been confirmed as learning proceeds even in early learning stage. The learning speed in pattern recognition of hand-written numbers is improved more than 2 times in various cases of hidden neuron numbers. It is observed that the improvement of learning speed becomes better as the number of patterns and the number of hidden numbers increase. The recognition rate of the proposed algorithm is nearly the same as that conventional method.

A novel self-organizing fuzzy plus PD control algorithm is proposed, where the proposed controller consists of a typical fuzzy reasoning part and self organizing part in which both on-line and off-line algorithms are employed to modify the Look-Up Table(LUT) for the fuzzy control rules and to decide how much fuzzy rules are to be modifid after evaluating the control performance, respectively. And the fuzzy controller is replaced by a PD controller in a prespecified region nearby the set point for good settling actions, where gain parameters are determined by fuzzy rules based on the magnitude of error velocity at the instant when the output penetrates into the prespecified region. To show the effectiveness of the proposed controller, extensive computer simulation results as well as experimental results are illustrated for an inverted pendulum system.
