In this paper, a high-performance floating point unit, which is suitable for high-performance superscalar microprocessors and supports IEEE 754 standard, is designed. Floating-point arithmetic unit (AU) supports all denormalized number processing through hardware, while eliminating the additional delay time due to the denormalized number processing by proposing the proposed gradual underflow prediction (GUP) scheme. Contrary to the existing fixed-radix implementations, floating-point divide/square root unit adopts a new architecture which determines variable length quotient bits per cycle. The new architecture is superior to the SRT implementations in terms of performance and design complexity. Moreover, sophisticated exception prediction scheme enables precise exception to be implemented with ease on various superscalar microprocessors, and removes the stall cycles in division. Designed floating-point AU and divide/square root unit are integrated with and instruction decoder, register file, memory model and multiplier to form a floating-point unit, and its function and performance is verified.

To develop a home-version assay system for plasma lipoprotein cholesterol, variables that can control the assay performance were optimized. The system was constructcd by using two major components: nitrocellulose membrane strip with immobilized enzymes (cholesterol esterase, cholesterol oxidase, and horseradish peroxidase); and sample carrier solution containing non-ionic detergent (Triton X-100) and chromogen (3,3'-diaminobenzidine). Once a sample combined with the carrier was absorbed from the bottom of the strip, cholesterol was delivered by capillary action to the immobilized enzymes and a sequential reactions took place. In the final reaction, the chromogen was oxidized and then generated a color as signal that was proportional to the concentration of cholesterol. The signal intensity was enhanced by optimizing conditions for the immobilization of enzymes and the chemical composition of carriel. Under these conditions, a dose-response curve was obtained and revealed a high sensitivity enough to measure the cholesterol in blood.

BACKGROUND: Many studies associated with cadmium (Cd) immobilization using lime fertilizer have been conducted for several decades. However, these studies did not suggest exact mechanism of Cd immobilization using lime fertilizer and evaluated effect of lime fertilizer on Cd phytoavailability in rice paddy soil under field condition. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study was conducted to determine exact mechanism of Cd immobilization using lime fertilizer and evaluate liming effect on Cd uptake of rice in contaminated paddy soil. $Ca(OH)_2$ was mixed with Cd contaminated arable soil at rates corresponding to 0, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, and 8,000 mg/kg. The limed soil was moistened to paddy soil condition, and incubated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks. $NH_4OAc$ extractable Cd concentration in soil decreased significantly with increasing $Ca(OH)_2$ rate, since $Ca(OH)_2$ markedly increased net negative charge of soil by pH increase, and decreased bioavailable Cd fractions (F1; exchangeable + acidic and reducible Cd fraction). Calculated solubility diagram indicated that Cd solubility was controlled by soil-Cd. $NH_4OAc$ extractable Cd and F1 concentration were negatively related to soil pH and negative charge. $Ca(OH)_2$ was applied at rates 0, 2, 4, and 8 Mg/ha and then cultivated rice in the paddy soil under field condition. Cadmium concentrations in grain, straw, and root of rice plant decreased significantly with increasing application rate of $Ca(OH)_2$. CONCLUSION(S): Alleviation of Cd phytoavailability with $Ca(OH)_2$ can be attributed primarily to Cd immobilization due to the increase in soil pH and negative charge rather than precipitation of $Cd(OH)_2$ or $CdCO_3$, and therefore, $Ca(OH)_2$ is effective for reducing Cd phytoavailability of rice in paddy soil.

In this paper, we describe the optimization of the link-level performance and the complexity of floating-point and fixed-point methods in IEEE 802.16e OFDMA/TDD mobile modem. In floating-point design, we propose the channel estimation methods for downlink traffic channel and select the optimized method using computer simulation. So we also propose efficent algorithms for time and frequency synchronization, Digital Front End and CINR estimation scheme to optimize the system performance. Furthermore, we describe fixed-point method of uplink traffic and control channels. The superiority of the proposed algorithm is validated using the performances of Detection, False Alarm, Missing Probability and Mean Acquisition Time, PER Curve, etc. For fixed-point design, we propose an efficient methodology for optimized fixed-point design from floating-point At last, we design fixed-point of traffic channel, time and frequency synchronization, DFE block in uplink and downlink. The tradeoff between performance and complexity are optimized through computer simulations.

The automotive exhaust gases generated by the vehicles containing carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and lead, is a large concern because of their harm to human health or the living environment. To reduce exhaust gas, it is important to develop a variety of techniques that are currently being used by elemental analysis to determine the optimal conditions. In this study, the anti-freeze coolant contained in the exhaust gas was examined, which can affect the emissions. The effects of the commercially available coolant from five domestic companies on the HC, NOx and $CO_2$ emissions were analyzed to determine the optimal amount of antifreeze. In addition, antifreeze products from the five companies were analyzed with respect to driving time of the cooling fan and the correlation of the NOx emission analysis. The temperature of the engine oil was matched using a manual gear of small passenger inspection standard speed $40{\pm}2Km/h$ so the vehicle could meet the specifications for inspection $90{\sim}93^{\circ}C$. The Company D fan operation time resulted in the shortest antifreeze, $CO_2$ and NOx emissions.

The performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell could be decreased due to coolant leaked from connection part. Micro pump was used to put small amount of coolant and investigate the effect on fuel cell. The stoichiometric ratio of hydrogen/air was 1.5/2.0, both side of gas was fully humidified, and current density of $400mA/cm^2$ was used as standard condition in this experiment. Constant current method was used to check performance recovery from coolant effect in 3 cell stack. The performance was recovered when coolant was injected in cathode side. On the other hand, the performance was not recovered when coolant was injected in anode side. Ethylene glycol could be converted to CO in oxidation process and cause poisoning effect on platinum catalyst or be adhered on GDL and cause gas diffusion block effect resulting performance decrease. Water with nitrogen gas was supplied in anode side to check performance recovery. Polarization curve, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to check performance, and gas chromatography was used to check coolant concentration. Constant current method was not enough in full recovery of performance. However, water injection method was proved good method in full recovery of performance.

본 논문에서는 온 디바이스 국방 AI를 위한 효율적인 학습 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 모델 전체를 재학습하는 대신 필요한 부분만 세밀하게 조정하여 계산 비용과 시간을 대폭 줄이는 PEFT 기법의 LoRa를 적용하였다. LoRa는 기존의 신경망 가중치를 직접 수정하지 않고 추가적인 낮은 랭크의 매트릭스를 학습하는 방식으로 기존 모델의 구조를 크게 변경하지 않으면서도, 효율적으로 새로운 작업에 적응할 수 있다. 또한 학습 파라미터 및 연산 입출력에 데이터에 대하여 32비트의 부동소수점(FP32) 대신 부동소수점(FP16, FP8) 또는 정수형(INT8)을 활용하는 경량화 기법인 양자화도 적용하였다. 적용 결과 학습시 요구되는 GPU의 사용량이 32GB에서 5.7GB로 82.19% 감소함을 확인하였다. 동일한 조건에서 동일한 데이터로 모델의 성능을 평가한 결과 동일 학습 횟수에선 LoRa와 양자화가 적용된 모델의 오류가 기본 모델보다 53.34% 증가함을 확인하였다. 모델 성능의 감소를 줄이기 위해서는 학습 횟수를 더 증가시킨 결과 오류 증가율이 29.29%로 동일 학습 횟수보다 더 줄어듬을 확인하였다.

This paper describes a design of radix-2 SRT divider unit, which supports IEEE-754 floating-point standard, using redundant binary number system (RBNS). With the RBNS, the partial quotient decision logic can operate about 20-% faster, as well as can be implemented with a simple hardware when compared to the conventional methods based on two's complement arithmetic. By using a new redundant binary adder proposed in this paper, the mantissa divider is efficiently implemented, thus resulting in about 20% smaller area than other works. The divider unit supports double precision format, five exceptions and four rounding modes. It was verified with Verilog HDL and Verilog-XL.

2006년 복사기를 포함한 사무기기 시장의 화두는 컬러화와 사무환경의 솔루션화에 맞춰진다. 이미 지난해부터 OA 3사는 사무기기 업체로서의 이미지를 과감히 버리고‘솔루션 제공및 컨설팅’업체로 변신을 선언하고 단순 기기 판매방식에서 벗어나 사무환경과 관련해 비용과 생산성을 따져‘맞춤 환경’을 컨설팅 하는‘종합오피스 솔루션 업체’로 거듭나고 있다. 복사기 시장이 디지털화되면서 최근 4년간 부동의 8만여대 규모를 이어가면서 업체들은 새로운 수익원을 찾아 나설 수밖에 없었고 결국 솔루션을 통한 마케팅이 시장에서의 성패를 좌우하는‘열쇠’로 판단한 것이다. 더욱이 솔루션은 역으로 하드웨어 판매를 촉진하는 부수적인 효과도 올리고 있어 메이커들은 솔루션 마케팅에 더욱 집중할 것으로 보인다.
