In this paper, an IC chip of a cell- network type circuit constructed with 1-dimensional chaos circuits is reported. The circuit, is designed by sing switched-current (Sl) techniques. In the proposed circuit, by controlling connections of cells, an S- dimensional circuit (S ＝ 1, 2, 3,…) and a synchronization system can be constructed easily. Furthermore, in spite of faults of a few cells, the circuit can reconstruct above-mentioned systems only to change connections of cells. This feature will open up new vista for engineering applications which are used in a distance place such as space, deep sea, etc. since it is difficult to repair faults of these application systems. To investigate the characteristics of the circuit, SPICE simulations are performed. The VLSI chip is fabricated from the layout design using a CAD tool, MAGIC. The proposed circuit is integrable by a standard 1.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology.

호흡으로 인한 방사선 치료 표적의 움직임을 고려함으로써 치료 성적 향상과 동시에 주변 장기 보호를 지향하는 4차원 방사선 치료의 구현, 성능 개선의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 환자가 자연스럽게 호흡하도록 하는 장점이 있는 호흡 동기방식이나 종양추적방식을 사용하는 경우, 방사선조사 표적의 움직임을 예측, 방사선조사 시 이를 보정하여 줌으로써 방사선치료 효과를 극대화할 수 있다. 신경회로망은 통계 수식에 의존하지 않고 주어진 자료를 표현하는 일종의 규칙을 찾아내므로, 방사선 치료 표적의 실시간 움직임과 같은 비선형성을 가진 시계열(Time Series)을 표현하는 데에 유리하다. 본 연구에서는 신경회로망 예측 알고리즘의 4차원 방사선치료에 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. Multi-layer Perceptron으로 신경회로망을 구성하였고 Scaled Conjugate Gradient 알고리즘을 신경회로망 학습 알고리즘으로 사용하였다. RPM 시스템을 이용하여 획득한 실제 임상 현장의 환자에 대한 호흡 자료를 기반으로 학습한 신경회로망 예측 결과를 RPM 시스템의 측정치와 상호 비교하였다. 10명의 환자에의 적용 결과, 신경회로망 학습에 사용된 자료가 환자의 호흡 범위 전체를 포함하지 않는 경우를 제외하고는, 최대절대오차 3 mm 미만의 우수한 예측 성능을 보였다. 학습 영역 이외의 호흡 자료 예측 시 발생하는 상당한 오차는 신경회로망의 외삽에 대한 학습능력 부족을 보이는 것으로, 오차의 원인을 제거하기 위한 일환으로, 호흡자료를 측정할 때 최대 호흡을 하도록 하여 충분한 학습 자료를 확보하는 방안을 고려해 볼 수있겠다. 4차원 방사선치료 시스템 성능 개선에의 직접 활용을 위하여, 다양한 시스템 대기시간에 따른 예측 성능 평가와 방사선 조사 장치와 연동, 실용 타당성 검증의 추가 연구가 진행될 것이다.

In this paper, the water cooling method among the forced coolant cooling methods is considered to be applied to the 110kW-class IPMSM for railway vehicles. First, basic thermal property analysis of the IPMSM is conducted using the three-dimensional thermal equivalent network method. Then, based on the results of the basic thermal property analysis, some design requirements for the water cooling jacket are deduced and a basic design of the water cooling jacket is carried out. Finally, thermal equivalent circuit of the water cooling jacket is attached to the IPMSM's 3D thermal equivalent network and then, the basic thermal and effectiveness analysis are conducted for the case of applying the water cooling jacket to the IPMSM. In the future, the thermal variation trends inside the IPMSM by the application of the water cooling jacket is expected to be quickly and easily predicted even at the design step of the railway traction motor.

In this paper we apply routing algorithms in circuit switched networks to B-ISDN networks and investigate the performance. B-ISDN supports a wide range of services with hetrogeneous bandwidth requirements. We assume that the network supports D classes of traffic. It is modeled as a finite D dimensional Markov chain. A call is blocked on arrival if the required bandwidth is not available on the route. The shortest path routing, alternate routing and trunk reservation are considered for performance comparison. We also consider trunk reservation with restricted access control where the network reserves certain amount of bandwidths for one class of traffic that assumes a higher transmission priority. Through the method of successive iterations, we obtain the steady state equilibrium probabilities and call blocking probabilities for dynamic routing. The results can be used to design a B-ISDN network that improves network connection availability and efficiency while simultaneously reducing the network costs.

Many methodologies for clock mesh networks have been introduced for two-dimensional integrated circuit clock distribution networks, such as methods to reduce the total wirelength for power consumption and to reduce the clock skew variation through consideration of buffer placement and sizing. In this paper, we present a methodology for clock mesh to reduce both the clock skew and the total wirelength in three-dimensional integrated circuits. To reduce the total wirelength, we construct a smaller mesh size on a die where the clock source is not directly connected. We also insert through-silicon vias (TSVs) to distribute the clock signal using an effective clock TSV insertion algorithm, which can reduce the total wirelength on each die. The results of our proposed methods show that the total wirelength was reduced by 12.2%, the clock skew by 16.11%, and the clock skew variation by 11.74%, on average. These advantages are possible through increasing the buffer area by 2.49% on the benchmark circuits.

Lumber spine range of motion has been used to measure of physical and functional impairment by various tools from a ruler to 3D kinematic devices. However, pre-existing tools have problems in either movement or accuracy and reliability limitations. Accurate devices are limited by fixed space whereas simple devices are limited in measuring complex movements with less accuracy. In order to solve the location, movement and accuracy limitations at once, we have developed a novice measurement device equipped with accelerometer sensor and gyroscope sensor for getting three-dimensional information of motion. Furthermore, Kalman filter was applied to the algorithm to improve accuracy. In addition, RF wireless communication was added for the user to conveniently check measured data in real time. Finally, the measurement method was improved by considering the movement by a reference point. An experiment was conducted to test the accuracy and reliability of the device by conducting a test-retest reliability test. Further modification will be conducted to used the device in various joints range of motion in clinical settings in the future.

A new computer code, named CORONA (Core Reliable Optimization and thermo-fluid Network Analysis), was developed for the core thermo-fluid analysis of a prismatic gas cooled reactor. The CORONA code is targeted for whole-core thermo-fluid analysis of a prismatic gas cooled reactor, with fast computation and reasonable accuracy. In order to achieve this target, the development of CORONA focused on (1) an efficient numerical method, (2) efficient grid generation, and (3) parallel computation. The key idea for the efficient numerical method of CORONA is to solve a three-dimensional solid heat conduction equation combined with one-dimensional fluid flow network equations. The typical difficulties in generating computational grids for a whole core analysis were overcome by using a basic unit cell concept. A fast calculation was finally achieved by a block-wise parallel computation method. The objective of the present paper is to summarize the motivation and strategy, numerical approaches, verification and validation, parallel computation, and perspective of the CORONA code.

The relationships among multi-dimensional data (such as medical examination data) with ambiguity and variation are difficult to explore. The traditional approach to building a data classification system requires the formulation of rules by which the input data can be analyzed. The formulation of such rules is very difficult with large sets of input data. This paper first describes two classification approaches using back-propagation (BP) neural network and Mahalanobis distance (MD) classifier, and then proposes two classification approaches for multi-dimensional feature selection. The first one proposed is a feature selection procedure from the trained back-propagation (BP) neural network. The basic idea of this procedure is to compare the multiplication weights between input and hidden layer and hidden and output layer. In order to simplify the structure, only the multiplication weights of large absolute values are used. The second approach is Mahalanobis-Taguchi system (MTS) originally suggested by Dr. Taguchi. The MTS performs Taguchi's fractional factorial design based on the Mahalanobis distance as a performance metric. We combine the automatic thresholding with MD: it can deal with a reduced model, which is the focus of this paper In this work, two case studies will be used as examples to compare and discuss the complete and reduced models employing BP neural network and MD classifier. The implementation results show that proposed approaches are effective and powerful for the classification.

In this paper distributed models for simulating spatially and temporally varied moving storm in a watershed were developed. The complete simulation in a watershed is achieved through two sequential flow simulations which are overland flow simulation and channel network flow simulation. Two dimensional continuity equation and momentum equation of kinematic approximation were used in the overland flow simulation. On the other hand, in the channel network simulation two types of governing equations which are one dimensional continuity and momentum equations between two adjacent sections in a channel, and continuity and energy equations at a channel junction were applied. The finite difference formulations were used in the channel network model. Macks Creek Experimental Watershed in Idaho, USA was selected as a target watershed and the moving storm on August 23, 1965, which continued from 3:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M., was utilized. The rainfall intensity fo the moving storm in the watershed was temporally varied and the storm was continuously moved from one place to the other place in a watershed. Furthermore, runoff parameters, which are soil types, vegetation coverages, overland plane slopes, channel bed slopes and so on, are spatially varied. The good agreement between the hydrograph simulated using distributed models and the hydrograph observed by ARS are Shown. Also, the conservations of mass between upstreams and downstreams at channel junctions are well indicated and the wpatial and temporal vaiability in a watershed is well simulated using suggested distributed models.
