Recently, flash memory is widely used in various embedded applications since it has many advantages in terms of non-volatility, fast access speed, shock resistance, and low power consumption. However, it requires a software layer called FTL(Flash Translation Layer) due to its hardware characteristics. We present a new FTL algorithm named LSTAFF(Large State Transition Applied Fast flash Translation Layer) which is designed for large block flash memory The presented LSTAFF is adjusted to flash memory with pages which are larger than operating system data sector sizes and we provide performance results based on our implementation of LSTAFF and previous FTL algorithms using a flash simulator.

In this paper, a distance measuring system using a PSD sensor in proposed, which in suitable for low-cost localization sensor of a mobile robot. Because the distance-voltage output of PSD sensor has a non-linear property, the linearizing function is proposed through the experimental characteristics of the sensor. And the characteristics are tested and the distance-voltage data are measured in various colors and materials of object. The parameters of the proposed function are extracted by using the measured data. Finally, the performance and the accuracy of the developed system are verified according to the comparison of the distance by the proposed function with the real distance.

초고압 차단기는 개방 또는 투입 기능을 수행시 과도현상에 의한 개폐서지(Switching Surge)가 발생하여 차단기 구성품들에 부담이 가해진다. 초고압 차단기용 개폐제어 장치는 이러한 차단기의 개폐 동작시 차단기 접점의 분리 또는 접촉 순간을 제어하여 개폐서지를 최소화함으로써 접점의 마모와 구성품에 가해지는 스트레스를 감소시키는 장치이다. 즉, 차단기에 인가되는 전압의 위상을 기준으로 원하는 개폐시점에서 개방 및 투입이 일어나도록 제어하는 기기이다. 국외에서는 해외 선진사들이 이미 초고압 차단기용 개폐제어 장치를 상용화하여 현장에 적용하고 있으며, 국내에서는 기술의 검토 단계를 지나서 장치를 개발하고 시험하여 상용화하는 단계로 진입하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 상용화를 위하여 개발된 초고압 차단기용 개폐제어 장치에 대하여 하드웨어 구성을 소개하고, 운영 소프트웨어를 설명하며, 개폐제어 장치의 개폐제어 동작 성능을 자체 모의시험과 GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) 차단부와의 연계 시험을 통하여 평가한다.

모바일 표준 플랫폼 WIPI(Wireless Internet Platform for interoperability)는 모바일 단말기에 탑재되어 응용프로그램을 실행할 수 있는 실행환경을 제공하는 국내 모바일 표준 플랫폼이다. 2002년부터 개발이 시작되어 현재 WIPI 2.0 규격을 탑재한 모바일 단말기가 출시된 상황이다. WIPI 2.0 규격은 PC연결 등의 표준 입출력, 폰카메라, 위치알림 기능, 보안통신 등의 서비스까지 규격화하고 있으며, 차기 버전에서는 휴대폰은 물론 휴대인터넷이나 위성 디지털멀티미디어방송(DMB) 단말기 플랫폼으로의 확장도 모색되는 등 발전가능성이 크다. 그러나 WIPI가 고려되지 않고 설계된 현재의 운영체제상에서 구현된 표준 플랫폼은 설계상 제한이 있으며, 미들웨어의 성격이 강하기 때문에 특정하드웨어와 운영체제에서의 WIPI 지원여부에 따라 응용 분야에 제약이 가해진다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 디바이스를 위한 연구개발을 목적으로 개발된 오픈소스기반 운영체제인 OpenOS의 커널수준에서 WIPI 표준 플랫폼의 HAL(Handset Adaptation Layer)과 WIPI-C 필수 API를 구현하여 성능의 개선과 표준 플랫폼을 위한 운영체제로의 발전 및 활용 가능성을 제시한다.

In order to become ubiquitous world, the compatibility of wireless machines has become the significant characteristic of a communication terminal. Thus, SDR is the most necessary technology and standard. However, among the environment which has different communication protocol, it's difficult to make a terminal with only hardware using ASIC or SoC. This paper suggests the processor that can accelerate several communication protocol. It can be connected with main-processor, and it is specialized PHY layer of network The C-program that is modeled with the wireless protocol IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11b which are based on widely used modulation way; OFDM and CDM is compiled with ARM cross compiler and done simulation and profiling with Simplescalar-Arm version. The result of profiling, most operations were Viterbi operations and complex floating point operations. According to this result we suggested a co-processor which can accelerate Viterbi operations and complex floating point operations and added instructions. These instructions are simulated with Simplescalar-Arm version. The result of this simulation, comparing with computing only one ARM core, the operations of Viterbi improved as fast as 4.5 times. And the operations of complex floating point improved as fast as twice. The operations of IEEE802.11a are 3 times faster, and the operations of IEEE802.11b are 1.5 times faster.

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) requires cooling system to maintain the proper operating temperature(about $65^{\circ}C{\sim}75^{\circ}C$) because the efficiency and power are affected by operating temperature. In order to retain the operating temperature of PEMFC, cooling system and coolant control logic are needed. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation(HILS) is one of effective methods to study and evaluate control algorithm. In this paper, the HILS system was designed to study the coolant control algorithm. The models of HILS system consisted of PEMFC, heat exchanger, and external environment associated with temperature. The hardwares in HILS system are 3-way valves, pumps, and a heat exchanger. The priority control and the control target temperature were investigated to improve the control performance using HILS. The 3-way valve in $1^{st}$ cooling circuit was selected as priority control target. The under limit value of $2^{nd}$ 3-way valve set as a function of PEMFC power and $2^{nd}$ circuit coolant temperature to correct temperature control performance. As a result, the temperature of PEMFC is stably controlled.

The current GPU virtualization techniques incur large overheads when executing application programs mainly due to the fine-grain time-sharing scheduling of the GPU among multiple Virtual Machines (VMs). Besides, the current techniques lack of portability, because they include the APIs for the GPU computations in the VM monitor. In this paper, we propose a low overhead and high performance GPU virtualization approach on a heterogeneous HPC system based on the open-source Xen. Our proposed techniques are tailored to the bio applications. In our virtualization framework, we allow a VM to solely occupy a GPU once the VM is assigned a GPU instead of relying on the time-sharing the GPU. This improves the performance of the applications and the utilization of the GPUs. Our techniques also allow a direct pass-through to the GPU by using the IOMMU virtualization features embedded in the hardware for the high portability. Experimental studies using microbiology genome analysis applications show that our proposed techniques based on the direct pass-through significantly reduce the overheads compared with the previous Domain0 based approaches. Furthermore, our approach closely matches the performance for the applications to the bare machine or rather improves the performance.

Since power analysis attack which uses a characteristic that power consumed by crypto device depends on processed data has been proposed, many logics that can block these correlation originally have been developed. DRP logic has been adopted by most of logics maintains power consumption balanced and reduces correlation between processed data and power consumption. However, semi-custom design is necessary because recently design circuits become more complex than before. This design method causes unbalanced design pattern that makes DRP logic consumes unbalanced power consumption which is vulnerable to power analysis attack. In this paper, we have developed new logic style which adds another discharge phase to discharge two output nodes at the same time based on DyCML to remove this unbalanced power consumption. Also, we simulated 1bit fulladder to compare proposed logic with other logics to prove improved performance. As a result, proposed logic is improved NED and NSD to 60% and power consumption reduces about 55% than any other logics.

In this study, we have developed a drone magnetic exploration system (proto-type) using a fluxgate magnetic sensor. Hardware of the system consists of a fluxgate magnetometer, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a GPS, and a communication module. And we have developed monitoring software, which enables it to transmit the measured data to the ground control system (GCS) in real time. The measured magnetic data are finally saved as 1 Hz data after passing through a notch filter and a band-pass filter. For verification of this system, a preliminary test was conducted to check the magnetic responses of a magnetic object first, then the field test was carried out in two iron mines. We tested the developed system on the field test in Pocheon, Gyeonggi and Jeongseon, Gangwon. The magnetic data from the developed drone system was very similar to those from unmanned airship system developed by Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM). As a result, preliminary experiment and field test have demonstrated that this system is applicable for outdoor aeromagnetic exploration. It requires more studies to improve filter function and instrument performance to minimize noise in the future.
