This paper presents the design of reconfigurable frequency selective surfaces for X-band bandpass operation with improved isolation. The proposed reconfigurable FSS is composed of a four-legged loaded element, a inductive stub and a bias grid. The PIN diode is located between the four-legged loaded element and the stub, which can control the frequency response of reconfigurable FSS by ON/OFF state. By adjusting the length of the stub, the desired bandpass frequency and the improved isolation between ON and OFF state can be obtained. For validation of simulated results, we have carried out transmission characteristic measurements using rectangular waveguide of WR-90. The measured results are in good agreements with the simulated results.

Mobile communication devices such as PDAs, cellular phones, etc., need to perform several kinds of computation-intensive functions including H.264 encoding/decoding and 3D graphics processing. In this paper, new reconfigurable architecture is described, which can perform either motion estimation for H.264 or rendering for 3D graphics. The proposed motion estimation techniques use new efficient SAD computation ordering, DAU, and FDVS algorithms. The new approach can reduce the computation by 70% on the average than that of JM 8.2, without affecting the quality. In 3D rendering, midline traversal algorithm is used for parallel processing to increase throughput. Memories are partitioned into 8 blocks so that 2.4Mbits (47%) of memory is shared and selective power shutdown is possible during motion estimation and 3D graphics rendering. Processing elements are also shared to further reduce the chip area by 7%.

In this paper, a co-planar waveguide(CPW) fed zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) antenna with frequency reconfigurable radiating structures is fabricated and measured. The unit cell of proposed antenna consists of a series metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitor and two shunt line inductors which are shorted through the via. The proposed antenna is designed based on a composite right/left-handed(CRLH) transmission line with two unit cells and it has open ended structure in order to radiate electromagnetic energy mainly on the shunt arm. In order to reduce the antenna size and to exhibit a frequency reconfigurable ability using diode switches four straight strips bent by 90 degrees are used as shunt inductors. The total size of fabricated antenna is $0.22{\lambda}_0{\times}0.16{\lambda}_0$ at zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) frequency. The measured maximum gain and bandwidth (VSWR ${\leq}2$) are 3.1 dBi and 56MHz at ZOR frequency of 2.97 GHz, respectively. This type of antenna can be applied to a frequency reconfigurable antenna system with triple bands.

The multimedia visualizational spreadsheet environment is shown to be extremely effective in supporting the organized visualization of multi-dimensional data sets. In this paper, we designed the visualization model that consists of the configurational 2D arrangement of spreadsheet elements at run time and each spreadsheet element has a novel framestack. As the feature, it supports 3D data structure of each element on the proposed model. It enables the visualization spreadsheet 1) to effectively manage, organize, and compactly encapsulate multi-dimensional data sets, 2) to reconfigure cell-structures dynamically according to client request, and 3) to rapidly process interactive user interface. Using several experiments with scientific users, the model has been demonstrated to be a highly interactive visual browsing tool for 2D and 3D graphics and rendering in each frame.

Class hierarchies often constitute the backbone of object-oriented software. Their quality is therefore quite crucial. Building class hierarchies with good qualify is a very important and common tasks on the object oriented software development, but such hierarchies are not so easy to build. Moreover, the class hierarchy structure under construction is frequently restructured and refined until it becomes suitable for the requirement on the iterative and incremental development lifecycle. Therefore, there has been renewal of interest in all methodologies and tools to assist the object oriented developers in this task. In this paper, we define a set of quantitative metrics which provide a wav of capturing features of a rough estimation of complexity of class hierarchy structure. In addition to, we suggest a set of algorithms that transform a original class hierarchy structure into reorganized one based on the proposed metrics for class hierarchy structure. Furthermore, we also prove that each algorithm is "object-preserving". That is, we prove that the set of objects are never changed before and after applying the algorithm on a class hierarchy. The technique presented in this paper can be used as a guidelines of the construction, restructuring and refinement of class hierarchies. Moreover, the proposed set of algorithms based on metrics can be helpful for developers as an useful instrument for the object-oriented software development.velopment.

In this paper, the X-band reconfigurable frequency selective surface having flexible geometry was proposed. The proposed RFSS is composed of patterns of cross-shaped loop with inductive stub, which can control the frequency response for C-Band and X-band by ON/OFF state of PIN diode. To minimize the parasitic effect and to obtain the high level of isolation between the unit cell of FSS and the bias circuit, we designed the grid type bias line on bottom layer through via hole. The measured transmission characteristics show good agreement with the simulation results and good stability of frequency response for different incident angles and curvatures of surface.

Load imbalance is a serious impediment to achieving good performance in parallel processing. Global load balancing schemes cannot adequately manage to balance parallel tasks generated from a single application. Dynamic loop scheduling methods are known to be useful in balancing parallel loops on shared-memory multiprocessor machines. However, their centralized nature causes a bottleneck for the relatively small number of processors in a network of workstations because of order-of-magniture differences in communication overheads. Moreover, improvements of basis loops scheduling methods have not effectively dealt with irregularly distributed workloads in parallel loops, which commonly occur in applications for a network of workstation. In this paper, we present a new reconfigurable and decentralized balancing method for parallel loops on a network of workstations. Since our method supplements performance balancing with those tranditional load balancing methods, it minimizes the overall execution time.

SDR technology is a fundamental wireless access technology that combines and accommodates multiple wireless communication standards in one transceiver system through just modifying software using modular communication platforms without any hardware modifications for RF and IF signal processing on the basis of high performance DSP devices. Various communication systems that are designed under diverse and complex network environments require the communication platforms on the basis of SDR supporting reorganization to guarantee simple and fast communication interfaces among the respective wireless networks. This paper introduces a main idea on the implementation of platform on the basis of SDR and a communication platform is designed for experiments that is composed of a DSP board with TMS320C6713 CPU, a FPGA board processing IF signals, and a module with RF transceiver processing wireless LAN frequency bandwidth. Various modulation schemes(BPSK, QPSK, and 16QAM) used in communication systems are applied and tested on the designed platform and the test results shows that it is possible to design a reconfigurable communication terminal platform.

Crypto-systems have difficulties in designing hardware due to the various standards. We propose a programmable and configurable architecture for cryptography coprocessors to accommodate various crypto-systems. The proposed architecture has a 32 bit I/O interface and internal bus width, and consists of a programmable finite field arithmetic unit, an input/output unit, a register file, and a control unit. The crypto-system is determined by the micro-codes in memory of the control unit, and is configured by programming the micro-codes. The coprocessor has a modular structure so that the arithmetic unit can be replaced if a substitute has an appropriate 32 bit I/O interface. It can be used in many crypto-systems by re-programming the micro-codes for corresponding crypto-system or by replacing operation units. We implement an elliptic curve crypto-processor using the proposed architecture and compare it with other crypto-processors

Since conventional methods for the reconstruction of 3D objects used a number of cameras or pictures, they required specific hardwares or they were sensitive to the photography environment with a lot of processing time. In this paper, we propose a 3D object reconstruction method using one photograph based on structured light in ubiquitous environments. We use color pattern of the conventional method for structured light. In this paper, we propose a novel pipeline consisting of various image processing techniques for line pattern extraction and matching, which are very important for the performance of the object reconstruction. And we propose the optimal cost function for the pattern matching. Using our method, it is possible to reconstruct a 3D object with efficient computation and easy setting in ubiquitous or mobile environments, for example, a smartphone with a subminiature projector like Galaxy Beam.
