  • an alignment system in the X-and Y-directions an X-Y-.theta. stage driven by piezoelectric actuators is presented. A pair of quadruple gratings and a quadruple photo-detector are used. The difference between the two 0-th order moire signals in reflection with a relative spatial phase of 180.deg. is used in each direction to control the alignment of the X-Y-.theta. stage. The stage is aligned at the position where the difference is zero. The quadruple gratings are 10 mm * 10 mm, and of a binary square-type with a 1/2 duty cycle. Their pitches are 16 .mu.m. Alignment accuracy of .+-.20nm was obtained in this system.

  • High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) technique has been developed for more than 15 years. It is characterized by its ultra-high peak current and peak power density to obtain unique thin film properties, such as high hardness, good adhesion and tribological performance. However, its low deposition rate makes it hard to be applied in industries. In this work, the development of HiPIMS system and integration of radio frequency (RF) or mid-frequency (MF) power supplies were introduced. Effects of duty cycle and repetition frequency on the microstructure, mechanical property, optical and electrical properties of some binary, ternary and quarternary nitride coatings and oxide thin films were discussed. It can be observed that the deposition rate was effectively increased by the superimposed HiPIMS with RF or MF power. High hardness, good adhesion and sufficient wear resistance can be obtained through a proper adjustment of processing parameters of HiPIMS power system.

  • Boolean networks(BN) construction is one of the commonly used methods for building gene networks from time series microarray data. However, BN has two major drawbacks. First, it requires heavy computing times. Second, the binary transformation of the microarray data may cause a loss of information. This paper propose two methods using liner regression to construct gene regulatory networks. The first proposed method uses regression based BN variable selection method, which reduces the computing time significantly in the BN construction. The second method is the regression based network method that can flexibly incorporate the interaction of the genes using continuous gene expression data. We construct the network structure from the simulated data to compare the computing times between Boolean networks and the proposed method. The regression based network method is evaluated using a microarray data of cell cycle in Caulobacter crescentus.

  • This paper proposes an efficient hardware architecture of CABAC for HEVC decoder. The proposed method is structured to handle two bins in one cycle, while preserving data dependencies of the CABAC. In addition, the processing time of the proposed architecture is reduced because the operation using Offset and Range is processed while the architecture reads rLPS from rLPSROM. As a result of analyzing operating frequency of the proposed CABAC architecture, the proposed architecture has improved by 40% than the previous one.

  • The increased environmental concerns and the emphasis on recycling are gradually shifting the orientation of municipal solid waste (MSW) management. This paper is designed to evaluate regionalization programs for MSW management system. We developed a mixed intiger network programming (MIP) model to identify environment-friendly, cost-effective expansion plans for regionalization scenarios considered. The MIP model is a dynamic capacity expansion model based on the network flow model that depicts the MSW management cycle. In particular, our model is designed to determine the optimal form of regionalization using binary variables. We apply this model to assess the regionalization program of Seoul Metropolitan City, which includes three scenarios such as 1) districting, 2) regionalization with neighboring self-governing districts, and 3) g1obalization with all districts. We demonstrate how our model can be used to plan the MSW system. The results indicate that optimal regionalization with nearby self-governing districts can eliminate unnecessary landfills and expansions if jurisdictional obstacles are removed.

  • A thinning algorithm changes a binary fingerprint image to one pixel width. A thinning stage occupies 40% cycle of 32-bit RISC microprocessor system for a fingerprint identification algorithm. Hardware block processing is more effective than software one in speed, because a thinning algorithm is iteration of simple instructions. This paper describes an effective hardware scheme for thinning stage processing using the Verilog-HDL in $160\times192$ Pixel Array. The ZS algorithm was applied for a thinning stage. The hardware scheme was designed and simulated in RTL. The logic was also synthesized by XST in FPGA environment. Experimental results show the performance of the proposed scheme.

  • We present an analysis of the measurements of mid-eclipse times of V839 Oph, collected from literature sources. Our analysis indicates a period increase of $3.2{\times}10^{-7}$ day/yr. This period increase of V839 Oph can be interpreted in terms of mass transfer of rate $1.76{\times}10^{-7}M_{\odot}/yr$, from the less to the more massive component. The O - C diagram shows a damping sine wave covering two different complete cycles of 36.73 yr and 19.93 yr with amplitudes approximately equal to 0.0080 and 0.0043 day, respectively. The third cycle has to be expected to cover about 13.5 years with lower amplitude than those of the former two cycles. These unequal duration cycles show a non periodicity which may be explained as resulting from either the presence of a tertiary component to the system or cyclic magnetic activity variations due to star spots. For the later mechanism, the obtained characteristics are consistent when applying Applegate (1992) mechanism.

  • Recent years in particular in Korea see intensive interests in a deep geothermal engineering and its application in different uses as far as from direct uses to power generation sectors, that are achieved by harnessing hot energy sources from the earth. For instance widespread interest has been generated because the geothermal energy is the source that one extracts it for more than 20 hours per day and for about 30 years of an operation of the plant, which enables to give base load as for heating as well as an electric generation. In retrospect, shallow geothermal energy using heat pumps is commonplace in Korea while the deep geothermal is in the early stage of the development. Geothermal energies in view of the way of extracting heat are mainly categorized into several types such as a single well system, a hydrothermal system, an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) etc. In this talk, this speaker focuses on the thermo-fluid engineering of the single well system by introducing the modeling in order to harness hot fluid that is thermally balanced with the fluid of an injection well, which provides a challenge to assess the life time of the well. To avoid the loss of the temperature in producing the hot fluid, a specialized pipe or a borehole heat exchanger has been designed, and its concept is introduced. On the other hand, a binary system or an organic Rankine cycle, which provides the methodology to convert the heat into an electricity, is briefly introduced. Some experimental results of the binary system which has been constructed in our lab will be presented. Lastly as for the future direction, some comments for the industrialization of the deep geothermal energy in this country will be discussed.

  • We present a by-product of our long term photometric monitoring of cataclysmic variables. 2MASS J18024395 +4003309 = VSX J180243.9 +400331 was discovered in the field of the intermediate polar V1323 Her observed using the Korean 1-m telescope located at Mt. Lemmon, USA. An analysis of the two-color VR CCD observations of this variable covers all the phase intervals for the first time. The light curves show this object can be classified as an Algol-type variable with tidally distorted components, and an asymmetry of the maxima (the O'Connell effect). The periodogram analysis confirms the cycle numbering of Andronov et al. (2012) and for the initial approximation, the ephemeris is used as follows: Min I. BJD = 2456074.4904+0.3348837E. For phenomenological modeling, we used the trigonometric polynomial approximation of statistically optimal degree, and a recent method "NAV" ("New Algol Variable") using local specific shapes for the eclipse. Methodological aspects and estimates of the physical parameters based on analysis of phenomenological parameters are presented. As results of our phenomenological model, we obtained for the inclination $i=90^{\circ}$, $M_1=0.745M_{\odot}$, $M_2=0.854M_{\odot}$, $M=M_1+M_2=1.599M_{\odot}$, the orbital separation $a=1.65{\cdot}10^9m=2.37R_{\odot}$ and relative radii $r_1=R_1/a=0.314$ and $r_2=R_2/a=0.360$. These estimates may be used as preliminary starting values for further modeling using extended physical models based on the Wilson & Devinney (1971) code and it's extensions

  • A dual-mode multiplier (DMM) that performs single- and double-precision multiplications has been designed using a $0.25-\mum$ 5-metal CMOS technology. An algorithm for efficiently implementing double-precision multiplication with a single-precision multiplier was proposed, which is based on partitioning double-precision multiplication into four single-precision sub-multiplications and computing them with sequential accumulations. When compared with conventional double-precision multipliers, our approach reduces the hardware complexity by about one third resulting in small silicon area and low-power dissipation at the expense of increased latency and throughput cycles. The DMM consists of a $28-b\times28-b$ single-precision multiplier designed using radix-4 Booth receding and redundant binary (RB) arithmetic, an accumulator and a simple control logic for mode selection. It contains about 25,000 transistors on the area of about $0.77\times0.40-m^2$. The HSPICE simulation results show that the DMM core can safely operate with 200-MHZ clock at 2.5-V, and its estimated power dissipation is about 130-㎽ at double-precision mode.
