AT-DMB was developed to raise the transmission rate of existing T-DMB with backward compatability. The transmission and hierarchical video service technique were legislated as Korean TTA standards, and other application service techniques including data services are being developed for the commercial service. In this paper, we consider the power of transmission power level of signals in Advanced Terrestrial Digital Multimedia System according to the constellation ratio. And we propose a new scheme for normalization of transmission signal power level in AT-DMB system. Adopting this scheme, the signal power level of hierarchical modulated signal can be uniform in AT-DMB system both for B Mode and Q Mode.

In this letter, we propose a compact CORDIC processor for implementation of carrier frequency synchronization block in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. The compact CORDIC processor is proposed by using inherenct properties of an OFDM system for estimation and compensation of carrier frequency offset, and is composed of a compact CORDIC preprocessor and a compact CORDIC processor. The compact CORDIC preprocessor plays a role of normalizing input signal efficiently, and the compact CORDIC processor is proposed to perform the vectoring mode and rotational mode jointly in CORDIC operation for carrier frequency synchronization. It is shown by FPGA implementation that the proposed compact CORDIC processor can achieve better performance with a significantly reduced hardware complexity than the conventional CORDIC approach.

This paper describes the dynamic characteristics of the joint structures in case of using the simplified beam model in the F. E. analysis. The modeling errors, when replace the shell with the beam, are investigated through F. E. normal modes analysis. Normal mode analysis were performed to obtain the natural frequencies of the L and T shaped joints with various type of channels. The results were analyzed to access the effects of the models on the accuracy of F.E. analysis by identifying the geometric factors which cause the error. The geometric factors considered are joint angle, channel length, thickness and area ratio of the hollow section to the filled one. The joint stiffness evaluation technique is developed in this study using normal modes analysis with Lumped Mass. With this method, the progressively improved results of F. E. analysis are obtained using the simplified beam model. The static and normal modes analysis are performed with the joint stiffness values obtained by the Kazunori Shimonkakis' virtual stiffness method and the proposed method and these simplified modeling errors are compared.

HMT is a type of continuously variable transmission which has split power flow path characteristics with gear train and hydro static unit. The benefit of improved fuel economy and high power capacity enables it to be a promising application fur large vehicles. This paper presents the analysis results including velocity, static torque, transmission efficiency and dynamic model of the HMT that is developed for city buses. The speeds or gear shafts, the static clutch torque and split power ratio for each mode are detailed here. From the analysis of HMT transmission efficiency considering the power loss in meshed gear and hydraulic unit, we can conclude that minimization of hydraulic power is necessary for improved fuel economy design. Also, the dynamic simulation result for mode shift characteristics shows that little shift shock is observed because of the synchronized rotation speed in clutch.

기존의 서버 전원 모드 제어에는 서버를 Off할 때 정적 종료 방식을 사용하는 관계로 서버가 사용자 요청을 모두 처리하는 최적의 종료 시간을 찾는데 시간이 많이 걸리는 단점을 가진다. 이 시간이 짧게 되면 사용자 QoS를 보장할 수 없고, 반대로 이 시간이 길게 되면 전력 절감을 기대할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 정적 종료 방식의 단점을 극복하는 동적 종료 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 최적의 종료 시간을 찾을 필요 없이 각 서버가 사용자의 요청을 모두 처리하였을 때 자동적으로 서버를 Off한다. 제안된 방법은 최적의 시간을 자동적으로 찾아내기 때문에 사용자 QoS를 보장하고, 전력을 절감한다. 실험은 30대의 PC 클러스터를 이용하여 수행되었고, 실험을 통하여 제안하는 동적 종료 방법이 기존의 정적 종료 방법에 비해 운영자의 수고 없이 자동적으로 전력 절감 및 사용자 QoS에 기여함을 확인하였다.

서버 클러스터는 성능을 보장하기 위하여, 요청 수에 상관없이 미리 측정된 최대 부하 시점에서 처리 가능한 서버 수를 항상 운영하고 있다. 이것은 서비스의 품질은 보장할 수 있으나, 소비 전력 효율이 낮아 상당한 전력을 낭비하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자 요청 수에 기반하여 동작시킬 서버의 수를 결정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 기존에 학습된 정보(과거 정보)와 현재의 정보에 근거하여 Off/Sleep 상태의 서버를 On 시키거나, On 상태의 서버를 Off/Sleep시켜, 현 시점에서 필요한 최적의 서버대수를 유지하도록 했다. 15대의 서버로 클러스터를 구성하고, SPECweb을 통해 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 서버 모드를 제어할 경우에 제어하지 않는 경우에 비해 약 35%의 전력이 절감되고, 본 논문에서 제안하는 학습 방법을 추가로 적용할 경우 약 5%의 전력이 추가로 절감되었다.

Forecasting possible failure characteristics is very important in maintenance planning because it helps in predicting any future failures and determining the optimum replacement interval. This paper examines the time.to-failure distribution of the transfer gearbox of a J79 engine by using a probability plotting technique which is one of the most convenient techniques for reliability analysis. Various probability distributions are evaluated for determining the suitable probability distribution of the failure data of the transfer gearbox, and the resulting correlation coefficient indicates that failure data have a lognormal distribution. The expected number of unscheduled maintenance actions and the optimum replacement interval for various values of cost ratios are determined.

Energy aware server clusters aim to reduce power consumption at maximum while keeping QoS(quality of service) compared to energy non-aware server clusters. They adjust the power mode of each server in a fixed or variable time interval to activate only the minimum number of servers needed to handle current user requests. Previous studies on energy aware server cluster put efforts to reduce power consumption or heat dissipation, but they do not consider energy efficiency well. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient cluster management method to improve not only performance per watt but also QoS of the existing server power mode control method based on autonomous learning. Our proposed method is to adjust server power mode based on a hybrid approach of autonomous learning method with multi level thresholds and power consumption prediction method. Autonomous learning method with multi level thresholds is applied under normal load situation whereas power consumption prediction method is applied under abnormal load situation. The decision on whether current load is normal or abnormal depends on the ratio of the number of current user requests over the average number of user requests during recent past few minutes. Also, a dynamic shutdown method is additionally applied to shorten the time delay to make servers off. We performed experiments with a cluster of 16 servers using three different kinds of load patterns. The multi-threshold based learning method with prediction and dynamic shutdown shows the best result in terms of normalized QoS and performance per watt (valid responses). For banking load pattern, real load pattern, and virtual load pattern, the numbers of good response per watt in the proposed method increase by 1.66%, 2.9% and 3.84%, respectively, whereas QoS in the proposed method increase by 0.45%, 1.33% and 8.82%, respectively, compared to those in the existing autonomous learning method with single level threshold.

If one identifies the detailed distribution of pressure and axial velocity at a source plane, the position and strength of major noise sources can be known, and the propagation characteristics in axial direction can be well understood to be used for the low noise design. Conventional techniques are usually limited in considering the constant source characteristics specified on the whole source surface; then, the source activity cannot be known in detail. In this work, a method to estimate the pressure and velocity field distribution on the source surface with high spatial resolution is studied. The matrix formulation including the evanescent modes is given, and the nearfield measurement method is proposed. Validation experiment is conducted on a wide duct system, at which a part of the source plane is excited by an acoustic driver in the absence of airflow. Increasing the number of evanescent modes, the prediction of pressure spectrum becomes further precise, and it has less than -25 dB error with 26 converged evanescent modes within the Helmholtz number range of interest. By using the converged modal amplitudes, the source parameter distribution is restored, and the position of the driver is clearly identified at kR = 1. By applying the regularization technique to the restored result, the unphysical minor peaks at the source plane can be effectively suppressed with the filtering of the over-estimated pure radial modes.

In this study, Multi-Values Logic processor was designed using the basic circuit of the electric current mode CMOS. First of all, binary FFT(Fast courier Transform) was extended and high-speed Multi-Valued Logic processor was constructed using a multi valued logic circuit. Compared with the existing two-valued FFT, the FFT operation can reduce the number of transistors significantly and show the simplicity of the circuit. Moreover, for the construction of amount was used inside the FFT circuit with the set of redundant numbers like {0, 1, 2, 3}. As a result, the defects in lines were reduced and it turned out to be effective in the aspect of normality an regularity when it was used designing VLSI(Very Large Scale Integration). To multiply FFT, the time and size of the operation was used toed as LUT(Lood Up Table).
