We have shown a robustness in several attacks by inserting the watermark in the frequency domain instead of spatial domain in the image. Also, we can extract watermark without the original image using this blind watermarking. An original image is transformed into the 4 sub-band areas (HH, HL, LH, LL) by the DWT. We select the two sub-band areas (HL, LH) for watermarking, except for the low-low (LL, HH) sub-band area. For watermarking, a watermark is encrypted by an encryption key, and it holds a certain value of two sub-bands, which is selected according to the value of watermark that we want to insert or change. And we insert watermark to the image. For extraction, a watermarked image is transformed by DWT, we compare the coefficient values of two sub-bands used in inserting watermarking, we extract the encrypted watermark, and we reconstruct the watermark by the encryption key. We apply the proposed method to the data matrix that is a two-dimension bar-code. For error detection code and error correction code, we use the ECC 200. For the JPEG image with the watermark, we could get the better PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and NC(Normalized Correlation) for the performance evaluation.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121345900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve such critical control in the presence of unknown external disturbances, measurement noises and parameter variations of plants, the disturbance observer-based control is applied. A controller is designed as a 2-degree-of-freedom controller which consists of a servo compensator and a disturbance observer. Through a numerical example of servo control system design of the actively-controlled bed for ambulances, it is shown that, even if a measurement noise is fairly small relative to an output, it gives much influence on achievement of the critical control and so it is important to consider an effect of the noise in design explicitly.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122753833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first method, one component is proportional to increment of amplitude of current, and another is proportional to increment of module of load equivalent impedance. In the second, one component is proportional to increment of power, which apparent power reactive power and active power can respectively be used to represent, and another is related to variation of load equivalent impedance, which can be formulated in three forms accordingly. In the third, a new term, power per one impedance unit (PPOIU) which is defined by the square of amplitude of current, is proposed. One component is proportional to increment of PPOIU at the bus, and another is proportional to increment of module of the equivalent impedance. In this paper, the three methods are compared with each other. As a result, the third method can universally be used during any machine-electric transient process, is the simplest, link up strongly with existing analysis method, and expediently explain the voltage stability mechanism of power system, so it can be used as a basic method to formulate increment of load bus voltage magnitude for power system voltage stability.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129585869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, the research and application of the piezoelectric sensors are mostly based on the \"mass responses\" and \"non-mass responses\" of the piezoelectric crystal. But in the researches and applications of the piezoelectric crystal sensors, many phenomenons have been found which can not be explained and can not accord with the Sauerbrey theory based on the \"mass responses\". And the scholars often explained those phenomenons with the \"non-mass response of the piezoelectric crystal\" [1]. In our researches, we improved the detectors and got some primary experimental results. And the results showed that the non-mass respones has no relation to the piezoelectric sensor, and it related to the characteristics of the liquor itself. Based on the results, it can be reckoned that this is a new physical phenomenon, that is to say, the liquor has the electrical resonance characteristic which likes the characteristic of the piezoelectric crystal, and can identify the characteristic of the liquor using the frequency of the electrical resonance. As soon as any of the characteristics of the liquor changed such as component, and density, the resonance frequency will change accordingly.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129845443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
