STUMPS has been widely used for built-in self-test of scan design with multiple scan chains. In the STUMPS architecture, there is very high correlation between the bit sequences in the adjacent scan chains. This correlation causes circuits lower the fault coverage. In order to solve this problem, an extra combinational circuit block(phase shifter) is placed between the LFSR and the inputs of STUMPS architecture despite the hardware overhead increase. This paper introduces an efficient test pattern generation technique and built-in self-test architecture for sequential circuits with multiple scan chains. The proposed test pattern generator is not used the input of LFSR and phase shifter, hence hardware overhead can be reduced and sufficiently high fault coverage is obtained. Only several XOR gates in each scan chain are required to modify the circuit for the scan BIST, so that the design is very simple.

Recently, as the population rapidly increases, food shortages and waste are emerging serious problem. In order to solve this problem, various countries and enterprises are trying research and product development such as a study of consumers' purchasing patterns of food and a development of smart refrigerator using IoT technology. However, the smart refrigerators which currently sold have high price issue and another waste due to malfunction and breakage by complicated configurations. In this paper, we proposed a low-cost smart refrigerator system based on IoT for solving the problem and efficient management of ingredients. The system recognizes and registers ingredients through QR code, image recognition, and speech recognition, and can provide various services of the smart refrigerator. In order to improve an accuracy of image recognition, we used a model using a deep learning algorithm and proved that it is possible to register ingredients accurately.

To date, rubbing has been widely used to align LC molecules uniformly. Although rubbing can be simple, it has fundamental problems such as the generation of defects by dust and static electricity, and difficulty in achieving a uniform LC alignment on a large substrate. Therefore, non contact alignment has been investigated. Ion beam induced alignment method, which provides controllability, nonstop process, and high resolution display. In this study, we investigated liquid crystal (LC) alignment with ion beam (IB) that non contact alignment technique on polyimide and electro-optical characteristics of twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) on the polyimide under various ion beam angles. In this experiment, Polyimide layer was coated on glass by spin-coating and Voltage-transmittance(VT) and response time characteristics of the TN cell were measured by a LCD evaluation system. The good characteristics of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment with the ion beam exposure polyimide surface was observed. The tilt angle of NLC on the PI surface with ion beam exposure can be measured under $1^{\circ}$ for all of irradiation angles. In addition, it can be achieved the good EO properties, and residual DC property of the ion beam aligned TN cell on polyimide surface.

Recently, it is widely studied to liquid crystal (LC) alignment using ion-beam exposure. Because conventional rubbing method has some problems such as defects from dust and electrostatic charges and rubbing scratch during rubbing process. Moreover rubbing method needs cleaning process to remove these defects. Therefore rubbing-free techniques like ion-beam method are strongly required. We studied LC alignment by controlling ion-beam irradiation angles and electro-optical (EO) characteristics of twisted nematic LC on the polyimide surface. In this experiment, a good uniform alignment of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) with the ion-beam exposure on the polyimide (PI) surface was observed. We also achieved low pretilt angle as function of ion-beam irradiation angles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis provided chemical evidence for LC alignment by controlling ion-beam irradiation angles. In addition, it can be achieved the good EO properties of the ion-beam-aligned twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) on PI surface. Some other experiments results and discussion will be included in the presentation.

In this study, we investigated the electro-optical (EO) characteristic of fringe-field switching (FFS) mode cell by the two kinds of ultraviolet (UV) alignment method on the organic thin film (polyimide Pl). The suitable organic layers for FFS cell and the aligning capabilities of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the in-situ photo-alignment method were studied. An unstable V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with conventional photo-alignment method can be achieved. However, a stable V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-situ photo-alignment method (1h), and V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-situ photo-alignment method was much stable comparing with that of other UV-aligned FFS-LCD's, As a result, more stable EO performance of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-Situ photo-alignment method is obtained than that of the other UV-aligned FFS-LCD's.

LED(Light Emitting Diodes)를 이용한 LCD 백라이트는 현재까지 모바일용의 $2{\sim}3$ 인치정도의 소형모델에서 상용화되고있다. 현재 동종분야에서 $5{\sim}7$ 인치 이상의 중대형에서는 아직 검토나 개발단계인 것으로 파악되고 있다. LED의 특징인 장수명, 고색순도, Robustness 등의 장점에도 불구하고 광효율이나 경제적측면에서 아직 형광램프 Type 에 비해 개선점이 남아있는 것도 개발지연 이유중의 하나다. 최근에 일부 광원업체에서 소비전력 5W로 높은 출광효율을 갖는 고휘도를 가진 LED가 개발되고있다. 고색재현성을 요구하는 TV등의 민수용 디스플레이시장이 커지는 현 추세에 한 방법으로 3색의 고휘도 LED광원을 사용한 백 라이트를 개발했다. R(Red), G(Green), B(Blue)의 3색 점광원 다수를 이중도광판 구조의 장변에 일정 간격으로 배열하여 최종 출사면에서 백색이 되도록 소정의 구성비로 설계하였다. 점광원간의 간격으로 인해 발생되는 혼색도를 보완하기위해 광원과 출사면까지의 광경로를 점광원이 아닌 튜브형의 형광광원 사용시보다 일정량 길게 설계해야 되는데, 이것으로 인해 출광효율이 형광램프구조에 비해 떨어지는 결과로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 17인치 모니터구조의 백라이트에서 색재현성 105%와 소비전력 67W에서 표면휘도 $2000cd/m^2$ 정도를 달성하였다.

We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) aligning capabilities using the new alignment material of a SiC (Silicon Carbide) thin film. SiC thin film exhibits good chemical and thermal stability. The good thermal and chemical stability make SiC an attractive candidate for electronic applications. A homeotropic alignment of nematic liquid crystal by ion beam (IB) exposure on the SiC thin film surface was achieved. The about $87^{\circ}$ of stable pretilt angle was achieved at the range from $30^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$ of incident angle. The good LC alignment is maintained by the ion beam alignment method on the SiC thin film surface until annealing temperature of $300^{\circ}C$. Consequently, homeotropic alignment effect of liquid crystal and the good thermal stability by the ion beam alignment method on the SiC thin film layer can be achieved.

In this paper, a low-area FFT structure using $Radix-4^2$ algorithm is proposed. The large point FFT structure consists of cascade connection of the many stages. In implementation of large point FFT using $Radix-4^2$ algorithm, stages which number of different coefficients are only 3 appear in every 2 stages. For example, in the 4096-point FFT, the stages that number of different coefficients are 3 appear in stage 1, 3, and 5 among 6 stages. Multiplication block area of these 3 stages can be reduced using CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) and common sub-expression sharing techniques. Using the proposed structure, the 256-point FFT is implemented with the Verilog-HDL coding and synthesized by $1.971mm^2$ cell area in tsmc $0.18{\mu}m$CMOS library. This result shows 23% cell area reduction compared with the conventional structure.

This paper proposed the acoustic signal processing techniques, which are applicable even in the shallow river, and will enhance the frequency resolution of the ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current profiler). ADCP is a device that measures the velocity of a moving fluid. ADCP, in general, can be operated at ~300 Khz of center frequency due to no depth limit in the sea. However, it can hardly be used due to water depth of 30cm or shallower during the dry season in the river. Therefore, existing signal processing methods are not suitable to use in the shallow river. We are proposing an alternative acoustic signal processing method using Zoom FFT. Simulation results show that errors are reduced ${\pm}62\;cm/s$ in theory, and ${\pm}93\;cm/s$ in the experiment. The existing algorithm could not estimate the current speed at the shallow river below 30 cm, but proposed algorithm estimated the current speed that was faster than 20 cm/s at the shallow river below 30 cm.
