In general, the high temperature superconductors have two-dimensional anisotropic structures. It is important to investigate the dependence of the critical temperature on the dimensions of the electron's motion. The equation of state for electron gas is deduced which describes the electron's motion in superconductors using the kinetic theory of gas. And the critical temperatures of three, two, and one dimensional gases were calculated. According to these equations, restricting the dimension of the electron's motion induces the increase of the critical temperatures. This implies the possibility that the multi-critical temperature of some superconductors is caused by the change of the dimension related to the pathways of the electron.

In this paper, we present a pattern comparison algorithm for reducing fault candidate lists. The number of fault candidates determines the total fault simulation time. To decrease the total fault diagnosis time, the reduction of the number of fault candidates is essential. Critical path tracing determines fault candidate lists detected by a set of tests using a backtracing algorithm starting at the primary outputs of a circuit. The proposed algorithm reduces fault candidates comparing failing patterns with good patterns during critical path tracing process. As we reduce all fault candidates of the circuit to more accurately suspected fault candidates, we can greatly reduce fault simulation time. The proposed algorithm greatly increases simulation speed than that of a conventional backtracing method. The proposed algorithm is applicable to both combinational and sequential circuits. Experimental results on ISCAS#85 and ISCAS#89 benchmark circuits showed fault candidates are pruned and fault diagnosis time is also decreased in proportion to fault candidate decrease.

An active power factor correction (PFC) circuit is presented which employs a newly proposed input voltage sensor-less control technique operated in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and critical conduction mode (CRM). The conventional PFC circuit with input voltage sensor-less control technique degrades the power factor (PF) under the light load condition due to DCM operation. In the proposed PFC circuit, the switching frequency is basically 70KHz in CCM operation. In light load condition, however, the PFC circuit operates in CRM and the switching frequency is increased up to 200KHz. So CCM/CRM operation of the PFC circuit alleviates the decreasing of the PF in light load condition. The proposed PFC controller IC has been implemented in a $0.35{\mu}m$ BCDMOS process and a 240W PFC prototype is built. Experimental results shows the PF of the proposed PFC circuit is improved up to 10% from the one employing the conventional CCM/DCM dual mode control technique. Also, the PF is improved up to 4% in the light load condition of the IEC 61000-3-2 Class D specifications.

In this paper, a DFPA(decimal floating-point adder) designed a pipeline structure that uses a LZA(leading zero anticipator) to reduce critical route to shorten delay to improve the speed of operation processing. The evaluation and verification of performance of proposed DFPA applied the Flowrian tool with simulation and Cyclone III FPGA was set as the target on the Quartus II tool for the synthesis. The proposed method compared and verified to proposed the other method using same input data. As a result, the performance of proposed method is improved 11.2% and 5.9% more than L.K.Wang's method and etc.. Also, it is confirmed that improvement of operation processing speed and reduction of the number of delay elements on critical path.

As the popularity of the smartphone becomes increase, indoor smartphone positioning technology has been actively studied. The acoustic signal generated from the smartphone is received from the several microphones at the relative positioning system, and the trigger signal is proposed to mitigate the multipath effect and the effect is verified. But for the simple trigger method, there would be error occurred according to the variation of the distance or surrounding noise. In this paper, in order to resolve the problems, the dynamic trigger threshold technology is proposed and its effect is verified by the experiment.

비 신뢰적이고 비 대칭적인 무선 링크를 갖는 무선센서네트워크에서 데이터전송이 성공했음에도 ACK 메시지 전송 실패로 발생하는 불필요한 데이터 재전송을 피해 에너지 효율을 높이는 전송기법들이 제안되었다. 이러한 전송기법의 하나인 Probability-based Data Forwarding(PDF)기법에서 기대 전송 횟수 임계치를 설정해 임계값만큼 데이터를 재전송 하였다면 더 이상 재전송하지 않음으로 불필요한 에너지 낭비를 줄인다. 하지만 PDF 는 데이터 전송 횟수만을 고려함으로, 여전히 ACK 메시지의 신뢰성 있는 전송을 보장하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문은 에너지 효율적인 PDF 기법에 비 대칭적 무선 노드의 특성을 고려하여 ACK 메시지 전송 시 사용되는 역방향 링크의 신뢰성이 낮다면 높은 신뢰성의 역방향 링크를 갖는 노드들을 선택하여 멀티 홉으로 송신 노드에게 ACK 메시지를 전송하는 기법을 적용한다. 이를 통해 불필요한 데이터 전송을 줄여 에너지의 낭비를 줄이고 무선센서네트워크의 수명을 연장한다.

Numerical methods are developed to obtain the critical loads and to analyze the post-buckling behaviour of the linearly varying tapered columns. The non-dimensional differential equations governing the elastica of post buckled column are derived by third order and solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta method and Regula-Falsi method. Three kinds of cross-sectional shape with simply supported end constraint are applied in unmerical examples. As the numerical results, the equlibrium paths. the typical elastica of post buckled columns and the critical load vs. section ratio curves are presented in figures. Also, the effects of cross-sectional shape factor on critical loads and postbuckling behaviour are presented in tables.

In this study, we fabricated the PBH-LD by meltback method using the LPE. The PBH-LDs are analyzed the leakage current that flows through leakage current path like the p-n diode and p-n-p-n current blocking layer. We observed the variation of threshold current with the leakage width $W_{ι}$. As a consequence, we confirmed that the threshold current became low in the decrease of the leakage width and in the increase of the ratio of specific resistivity of leakage region to active region. We also compared between the calculated threshold current in the absence of leakage region and the measured threshold current in the device. As a result, the ratio of specific resistivity was about 0.5 in the measured LDs, which have the width of a active layer of 1.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and leakage width of 0.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

I intend to seek the shortest path which an aircraft safely flies to its destination through the shadow volume of three dimensional terrain which propagation does not extend. Herein, I propose a method in which a relatively wide shadow volume is divided with a polygon type of block polygon, a path up to the intermediate destination is sought in the divided block polygons according to the weight, and then, the shortest path up to the final destination is sought by repeating courses for seeking a destination again from the adjacent polygon based on the starting point of the intermediate destination within the divided polygon. The shortest path was searched by using the revised algorithms which apply to a critical angle from graph growth algorithms on the shadow volume which propagation on the actual three dimensional terrain does not extend to. The experiment shows that a method proposed in this paper creates effective flying curves.

This paper present a method for abnormal traffic behavior, or trajectory, detection in static traffic surveillance camera with user-defined trajectories. The method computes the abnormality of moving object with a trajectory of the object and user-defined trajectories. Because of using user-define based information, the presented method have more accurate and faster performance than models need a learning about normal behaviors. The method also have adaptation process of assigned rule, so it can handle scene variation for more robust performance. The experimental results show that our method can detect abnormal traffic behaviors in various situation.
