As XML became the standard of data exchange in the internet, the needs for effective query processing for XML data in streaming environment is increasing. Applying the existing database technique which processes data with the unit of tuple to the streaming XML data causes the out-of-memory problem due to limited memory volume. Likewise the cost for searching query path and accessing specific data may be remarkably increased because of special structure of XML. In a word it is unreasonable to apply the existing database system to the streaming environment that processes query for partial data, not the whole one. Thus, it should be able to search partial streaming data that rapidly satisfies join predicate through using low-capacity memory, based on a store technique suitable to streaming XML data. In this thesis, in order to study the store technique for low-capacity memory, the PCDATA and the CDATA-related parts, which can be used as predicate on join query, were fetched and saved. In addition, in an attempt to compare rapid join predicates, the range window of streaming XML data was set with the object of selectively joining windows that satisfies the query, based on Cardinality * and + among the structure information of DTD.

본 논문은 하이브리드 전기자동차의 12V보조배터리 충전용 DC-DC 컨버터의 최적설계에 관한 것으로 하이브리드 전기자동차의 특성상 DC-DC 컨버터는 최대부하의 $30\%\~70\%$ 정도의 비교적 낮은 부하영역에서 주로 동작하므로 이에 따른 적절한 설계가 요구된다. 따라서 DC-DC 컨버터의 주 동작영역에서 효율이 높도록 주요 설계요소인 스위칭 주파수와 고주파 변압기의 누설인덕턴스를 적절히 선정하고 코아의 윈도우 면적을 최소화하는 최적설계에 관한 연구이다.

Recently face detection has actively been researched due to its wide range of applications, such as personal identification and security systems. In this paper, a new face detection method based on the distribution map is proposed. Face-like regions are first extracted by applying the skin color map with the frequency to a color image and then, possible eye regions are determined by using the pupil color distribution map within the face-like regions. This enables the reduction of space for finding facial features. Eye candidates are detected by means of a template matching method using weighted window, which utilizes the correlation values of the luminance component and chrominance components as feature vectors. Finally, a cost function for mouth detection and location information between the facial features are applied to each pair of the eye candidates for face detection. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve a high performance.

In this paper, we deal with a method of efficiently processing continuous queries in a data stream environment. We classify previous query processing methods into two dual categories - data-initiative and query-initiative - depending on whether query processing is initiated by selecting a data element or a query. This classification stems from the fact that data and queries have been treated asymmetrically. For processing continuous queries, only data-initiative methods have traditionally been employed, and thus, the performance gain that could be obtained by query-initiative methods has been overlooked. To solve this problem, we focus on an observation that data and queries can be treated symmetrically. In this paper, we propose the duality model of data and queries and, based on this model, present a new viewpoint of transforming the continuous query processing problem to a multi-dimensional spatial join problem. We also present a continuous query processing algorithm based on spatial join, named Spatial Join CQ. Spatial Join CQ processes continuous queries by finding the pairs of overlapping regions from a set of data elements and a set of queries defined as regions in the multi-dimensional space. The algorithm achieves the effects of both of the two dual methods by using the spatial join, which is a symmetric operation. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms earlier methods by up to 36 times for simple selection continuous queries and by up to 7 times for sliding window join continuous queries.

In this paper an algorithm of image alignments for constructing seamless mosaics is proposed. After the global alignment has been run, there may still be localized mis-registrations present in the mosaic. Due to mis-registrations, there may be seams in the mosaic, such as breaking, blurring, and doubling of lines. To solve this problem, we need an algorithm of residual motion estimation, which minimizes mis-registrations. In the conventional algorithms of residual motion estimation, computational powers are too heavy and estimators of camera parameters are additionally needed such as focal lengths. In the proposed algorithm, residual motion vectors are estimated with the adequate size of estimation and measurement windows and with adjustment of initial vectors according to the established priority. By construction of mosaics with the proposed algorithm, we demonstrate the removal of seams by mis-registrations.

최근 반도체 소자의 미세화에 따라, 단채널 효과에 의한 누설전류 및 소비전력의 증가 등이 문제되고 있다. 대표적인 휘발성 메모리인 dynammic random access memory (DRAM)의 경우, 소자의 집적화가 진행됨에 따라 저장되는 정보의 양을 유지하기 위해 캐패시터영역의 복잡한 공정을 요구하게 된다. 하나의 캐패시터와 하나의 트랜지스터로 이루어진 기존의 DRAM과 달리, single transistor (1T) DRAM은 silicon-on-insulator (SOI) 기술을 기반으로 하여, 하나의 트랜지스터로 DRAM 동작을 구현한다. 이러한 구조적인 이점 이외에도, 우수한 전기적 절연 특성과 기생 정전용량 및 소비 전력의 감소 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 strained-Si 층을 적용한 strained-Silicon-On-Insulator (sSOI) 기술을 이용하여, 전기적 특성 및 메모리 특성의 향상을 기대 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 sSOI 기판위에 1T-DRAM을 구현하였으며, impact ionization과 gate induced-drain-leakage (GIDL) 전류에 의한 메모리 구동 방법을 통해 sSOI 1T-DRAM의 메모리 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 strain 효과에 의한 전기적 특성의 향상을 확인하였으며, GIDL 전류를 이용한 메모리 구동 방법을 사용했을 경우 낮은 소비 전력과 개선된 메모리 윈도우를 확인하였다.

This Paper proposes an adaptive error diffusioThis paper proposes an adaptive error diffusion algorithm for text enhancement followed by an efficient text segmentation that uses the maximum gradient difference (MGD). The gradients are calculated along with scan lines, and the MGD values are filled within a local window to merge the potential text segments. Isolated segments are then eliminated in the non-text region filtering process. After the left segmentation, a conventional error diffusion method is applied to the background, while the edge enhancement error diffusion is used for the text. Since it is inevitable that visually objectionable artifacts are generated when using two different halftoning algorithms, the gradual dilation is proposed to minimize the boundary artifacts in the segmented text blocks before halftoning. Sharpening based on the gradually dilated text region (GDTR) prevents the printing of successive dots around the text region boundaries. The error diffusion algorithm with edge enhancement is extended to halftone color images to sharpen the tort regions. The proposed adaptive error diffusion algorithm involves color halftoning that controls the amount of edge enhancement using a general error filter. The multiplicative edge enhancement parameters are selected based on the amount of edge sharpening and color difference. Plus, the additional error factor is introduced to reduce the dot elimination artifact generated by the edge enhancement error diffusion. By using the proposed algorithm, the text of a scanned image is sharper than that with a conventional error diffusion without changing background.

박막트랜지스터의 전극으로 Au, Ag, Mo, ITO와 같은 물질들이 이미 많이 연구되어 왔으며, 투명 Source/Drain 전극을 활용한 물질로는 ITO에 초점이 맞춰져 왔다. 하지만 ITO의 높은 가격과 Indium의 인체 유해한 독성 때문에 ITO를 대체하는 물질에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중 Al이 도핑된 ZnO (AZO) 는 가시광 영역에서 85% 이상의 높은 투과율과 높은 전도성, 낮은 비저항으로 다양한 광전소자의 전극과 윈도우 물질로 많은 응용 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 본 실험에서는 고 품질의 박막성장이 가능하고, 박막의 두께를 세밀하게 조절할 수 있는 Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) 을 이용하여 온도변화에 따라 AZO 박막을 성장시키고 구조적, 전기적, 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 온도변화가 AZO 박막 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 Source/Drain 전극으로 사용하기 위한 조건을 최적화하였고, 실제 투명박막트랜지스터 제작을 통해 소자의 I-V Curve 와 Transfer 특성을 확인하고, Transfer Length Method 방법을 이용하여 투명박막트랜지스터의 접촉저항, 채널 비저항 등을 확인해 보았다. 소결된 타겟으로는 99.99%의 순도를 갖는 ZnO-$Al_2O_3$ (98:2 wt%) 타겟을 이용하였으며, 장비조건으로는 355 nm의 파장대역을 갖는 Nd:YAG 레이저를 사용하였고, 실험변수로는 온도범위 RT, $200^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$에서 실험을 진행하였다. AZO 박막의 구조적, 전기적 특성을 분석하기 위해 각각 X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Hall measurement 장비를 사용하였으며, 광학적 특성을 분석하기 위한 투과도의 측정은 UV-Visible spectrophotometer 장비를 사용하였다.
