Cutaneous Schwannoma Presented as a Pedunculated Protruding Mass
Schwannoma is a benign neoplasm of the nerve sheath origin. It arises from the nerve sheath of large peripheral or cranial nerves and occurs at the level of the subcutaneous fat layer or deeper layer. Cutaneous schwannoma occurs more superficially and usually presents as a solitary dermal or subcutaneous nodule. We describe a case of cutaneous schwannoma that presented as an erythematous pedunculated protruding mass on the left flank of a 19-year-old female. It was clinically diagnosed as a granuloma pyogenicum. Shaving biopsy was conducted and histological examination revealed an encapsulated tumor mass containing dense, spindle-shaped cells whose nuclei are arranged back to back representing Verocay body, and a diagnosis of schwannoma was made. This is an unusual case of cutaneous schwannoma that presented as a pedunculated protruding mass
Folliculosebaceous Cystic Hamartoma in a Patient with Neurofibromatosis Type I
Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma (FSCH) is a rare cutaneous hamartoma composed of dilated folliculosebaceous units and mesenchymal elements. It presents as a papule or nodule usually on the face and scalp, rarely on the genital or trunk area. Histologically, FSCH shares several similar features to sebaceous trichofolliculoma. We report one case of FSCH misdiagnosed as a neurofibroma. He was a 38-year-old man with a neurofibromatosis type I and a nodule on his left earlobe was excised under the impression of neurofibroma. Pathological examination revealed FSCH. Although FSCH is clinically not distinctive, awareness of the lesion is important to differentiate papulonodular or cyst-like cutaneous lesions

IMPLEMENTATION OF DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING WITH HIGH DATA RATE SENSORS FOR DATA COMPRESSION
The onboard telemetry system of Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II (KSLV-II) acquires acoustic, vibration, and piezoelectric pressure sensors that require high data rate over several kilo samples per second, so the compression method is needed to expand link margin of telemetry system. This paper implements third-octave and FFT signal processing algorithms to reduce sensor data with high compression ratio depends on data acquisition requirements. The developed signal processing hardware module is composed of analog signal conditioning block and digital signal processing block on FPGA, and the digital block is fully implemented with dedicated hardware using HDL. For digital hardware implementation, multistage structure with ANSI standard octave filter bank is used for third-octave processing, and pipelined architecture is used for FFT. The performance of data acquisition and signal processing is evaluated and compared to the commercial data acquisition equipment.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PORTABLE TM GROUND STATION FOR KSLV-II WITH A RS422-TO-ETHERNET TM PCM DECODER AND MAGALI TM SOFTWARE
The onboard telemetry (TM) system of Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II (KSLV-II) transmits PCM framedatatotheTMgroundstationviaRS422beforeflightorviaRFlinkduringflight. Thispaper describes the development of a portable TM ground station for KSLV-II that can decommutate the PCM frame data received via RS422. The developed portable TM ground station consists of two major components: a RS422-to-Ethernet TM PCM decoder and a laptop running MAGALI commercial TM software. The TM PCM decoder transforms a serial bit stream of the PCM data received via RS422 into multicast UDP packets. The MAGALI TM software supports an Ethernet acquisition module for the reception of the PCM frame data, which enables decommutation of the UDP packet-based PCM frame data received from the TM PCM decoder. Furthermore, the use of multicast UDP enables simultaneous decommutation of the PCM frame data at multiple laptops running MAGALI.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
