FeN thin films for inductive recording heads were sputter deposited using RF diode sputtering mehtod from a pure iron target onto 7059 glass substrates, and their magnetic properties were measured. The magnetic properties were greatly affected by film thickness, gas pressure, sputter power and flow ratio of $N_{2}$ to Ar. Single layer FeN films with their thickness varied from $1,000\;{\AA}$ to $6,000\;{\AA}$ were doposited. 800 W sputter power, 3 mT gas pressure, $N_{2}$ to Ar flow ratio of 6.6 : 100 were the sputtering conditions. Up to 7 layers of FeN films having total thickness of $6,000\;{\AA}$ were deposited using $SiO_{2}$ of $30\;{\AA}$ thickness as intermediate layers and their coercivity and saturation magnetization were measured. The sputtering conditions were the same as those in the single layer films. Easy axis coercivity of the single layer FeN films gradually decreased as their thickness was increased, but for the films with their thicknesses above $3,000\;{\AA}$, the coercivity changed very little. As the number of the FeN layers were increased, the coercivity decreased We estimated the grain size of FeN films from the FWHM (Full Width at Half Maximum) of X-ray diffraction peaks. The grain size steadily decreased from about $200\;{\AA}$ to $120\;{\AA}$ as the number of layers were increased. Minimum hard axis coercivity of 0.4 Oe was obtained when the number of layers was four. Maximum relative permeability was 2,900 when the number of layers was three. The cut off frequeocy of the multilayer films were above 100 MHz.

NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$) trilayers were formed on the $4^{\circ}$ tilt-cut Si(111) substrate by rf magnetron sputtering method. With a Cu($50\;{\AA}$) underlayer, NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$) trilayers developed in-plane magnebc anisotropy and in-plane perpendicular alignment of easy axes in two magnetic components of NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$) trilayers has been found. The easy axis of Co layer consisbng of NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$) trilayers turned out to be along $4^{\circ}$ tilt Si <112> direcbon and that of NiFe layer along Si <110> direction. [NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$)]/Cu($50\;{\AA}$)/Si(111, $4^{\circ}$ tiIt-cut) trilayers showed about 2.2 % MR ratio at room temperature and large plateau in MR curves, which are more improved MR characteristics than those in [NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$)]/Cu($50\;{\AA}$)/glass trilayers with no appreciable magnetic anisotropy.

Lately, since Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor(CMOS) image sensor system has low power, low cost and been miniaturized, hardware and applied software studies using these strengths are being carrying on actively. However, the products equipped with CMOS image sensor based polling method yet has several problems in degree of completeness of applied software and firmware, compared with hardware’s. CMOS image sensor system has an ineffective synchronous problem due to superfluous message exchange. Also when a sending of data is delayed continually, overhead of re-sending is large. So because of these, it has a problem in structural stability according to Polling Method. In this study, polling cycle was subdivided in high-speed synchronization method of firmware -based through MCU and synchronization method of Stepwise was proposed. Also, re-connection and data sending were advanced more efficiently by using interrupt way. In conclusion, the proposed method showed more than 20 times better performance in synchronization time and error connection. Also, a board was created by using C328R board of CMOS image sensor-based and ATmega128L which has low power, MCU and camera modules of proposed firmware were compared with provided software and analyzed in synchronization time and error connection.

The objective of this research is to evaluate both quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis by comparing vital variable factors of the golf swing successes and the failures. At the moment of swing, each body segment and the movement of the club as well as kinematical parameters were produced by utilizing the 3-D swing analysis for the high school female golfers. As kinematical parameters, it analyzes the 3-D analysis and ground reaction force about the location change, velocity and angle. The 3-D swing analysis and ground reaction force location change, velocity and angle are analyzed for Kinematical parameters. As a result, the stable swing is maintained by club head showing very few front-back movement (X) when the address and the top swing. Also, the center of mass velocity contributes to the momentum increase by showing very rapid velocity when successful comparing with when failed at the time of top swing of left-right(Y) and it is thought that by lessening the cocking angle when successful from the top swing to the impact, it influences the linear velocity increase and has a good effect on a non-distance increase. It shows that Ground reaction force (GRF) is examined by showing the stable approval rating in a front-back(X) direction and left-right(Y) and connected to a successful swing.

In wireless sensor networks, there have been two methods for sensing continuously moving object tracking: user-query based method and periodic report based method. Although the former method requires overhead for user query rather than the latter method, the former one is known as an energy-efficient method without transferring unnecessary information. In the former method, a virtual tree, consisting of sensor nodes, is exploited for the user querying and sensor reporting. The tree stores the information about mobile objects; the stored information is triggered to report by the user query. However, in case of fast moving object, the tracking accuracy reduces due to the time delay of end-to-end repeated query. To solve the problem, we propose a query relaying method reducing the time delay for mobile object tracking. In the proposed method, the nodes in the tree relay the query to the adjacent node according to the movement of mobile object tracking. Relaying the query message reduces the end-to-end querying time delay. Simulation results show that our method is superior to the existing ones in terms of tracking accuracy.

Recently, deep neural networks (DNNs) have brought revolutions to many mobile and embedded devices by providing human-level machine intelligence for various applications. However, high inference accuracy of such DNNs comes at high computational costs, and, hence, there have been significant efforts to reduce computational overheads of DNNs either by compressing off-the-shelf models or by designing a new small footprint DNN architecture tailored to resource constrained devices. One notable recent paradigm in designing small footprint DNN models is sharing parameters in several layers. However, in previous approaches, the parameter-sharing techniques have been applied to large deep networks, such as ResNet, that are known to have high redundancy. In this paper, we propose a parameter-sharing method for already parameter-efficient small networks such as ShuffleNetV2. In our approach, small templates are combined with small layer-specific parameters to generate weights. Our experiment results on ImageNet and CIFAR100 datasets show that our approach can reduce the size of parameters by 15%-35% of ShuffleNetV2 while achieving smaller drops in accuracies compared to previous parameter-sharing and pruning approaches. We further show that the proposed approach is efficient in terms of latency and energy consumption on modern embedded devices.

Ceramic ink-jet printing technology in art tiles, decorated tablewares and other porcelain products has many advantages of fast and precision printing of various images with high efficiency and low cost. For the application to ink-jet printing, ceramic ink requires a stable dispersibility with nano-sized pigments. In this paper, characteristics of pink-red aqueous ceramic ink for ink-jet printing was demonstrated. $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ pigment was synthesized using solid state reaction and deagglomerated using attrition milling. The aqueous ceramic ink contains 10 wt% of the obtained $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ nanopigment with 0.4 wt% of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a dispersion agent. Viscosity of $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ aqueous ceramic ink was adjusted using 0.18 wt% of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for a suitable jetting from the nozzle. The prepared pink-red ceramic ink showed a good jetting property with formation of a single sphere-shaped droplet after $180{\mu}s$ without a tail and satellite droplet.

When designing network processors or implementing network equipments such as routers are implemented, IP lookup operations cause the major impact on their performance. As the organization of the IP address becomes simpler, the speed of the IP lookup operations can go faster. However, since the efficient management of IP address is inevitable due to the increasing number of network users, the address organization should become more complex. Therefore, for both IPv4(IP version 4) and IPv6(IP version 6), it is the essential fact that IP lookup operations are difficult and tedious. Lots of researcher for improving the performance of IP lookups have been presented, but the good solution has not been came out. Software approach alleviates the memory usage, but at the same time it si slow in terms of searching speed when performing an IP lookup. Hardware approach, on the other hand, is fast, however, it has disadvantages of producing hardware overheads and high memory usage. In this paper, conventional researches on IP lookups are shown and their advantages and disadvantages are explained. In addition, by mixing two representative structures, a new hybrid parallel architecture for fast IP lookups is proposed. The performance evaluation result shows that the proposed architecture provides better performance and lesser memory usage.

The representative area among the ones whose cost increases as the integration ratio increases is the test area. As the relative cost of hardware decreases, the BIST method has been focued on as the future-oriented test method. The biggest drawback of it is the increasing test time to obtain the acceptable fault coverage. This paper proposed a BIST implementation method to reduce the test times. This method uses an input grouping and test point insertion method, in which the definition of test point is different from the previous one. That is, the test points are defined on the basis of the internal nodes which are the reference points of the input grouping and are merging points of the grouped signals. The main algorithms in the proposed method were implemented with C-language, and various circuits were used to apply the proposed method for experiment. The results showed that the test time could be reduced to at most $1/2^{40}$ of the pseudo-random pattern case and the fault coverage were also increased compared with the conventional BIST method. The relative hardware overhead of the proposed method to the circuit under test decreases as th e size of the circuit to be tested increases, and the delay overhead by the BIST utility is negligible compared to that of the original circuit. That means, the proposed method can be applied efficiently to large VLSI circuits.

As per current seismic design codes, diagonally reinforced coupling beams are restricted to coupling beams having aspect ratio below 4. However, a grouped diagonally reinforcement detail makes distribution of steel bars in the beam much harder, furthermore it may result in poor construction quality. This paper describes the experimental results of concrete coupling beam reinforced with high-strength steel bars (SD500 & SD600 grades). In order to improve workability for fabricating coupling beams, a headed large diameter steel bar was used in this study. Two full-scale coupling beams were fabricated and tested with variables of reinforcement details and aspect ratio. To reflect real behavior characteristic of the beam coupling shear walls, a rigid steel frame system with linked joints was set on the reaction floor. As a test result, it was noted that cracking and yielding of reinforcement were initially progressed at the coupling beam-to-shear wall joint, and were progressed to the mid-span of the coupling beam, based on the steel strain and failure modes. It was found that the coupling beams have sufficient deformation capacity for drift ratio of shear wall corresponding to the design displacement in FEMA 450-1. In this study, the headed horizontal steel bar was also efficient for coupling beams to exhibit shear performance required by seismic design codes. For detailed design for coupling beam reinforced with high-strength steel, however, research about the effect of variable aspect ratios on the structural behavior of coupling beam is suggested.
