In this paper, we present a set of methodologies to model the electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) testing of I/O buffers for mobile system memory based on the bulk current injection (BCI) method. An efficient equivalent circuit model is developed for the current injection probe, line impedance stabilization network (LISN), printed circuit board (PCB), and package. The simulation results show good correlation with the measurements and thus, the work presented here will enable electromagnetic susceptibility analysis at the integrated circuit (IC) design stage.

$Ba_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}TiO_3$(BST) thin films were deposited simultaneously on various electrodes and buffers by the sputtering technique. When the substrate temperature was varied, the BST thin film on each electrode showed good crystallinity above $550^{\circ}C$ as revealed by X-ray diffraction measurements. The surface morphology, determined by atomic force microscopy, indicated that the roughness of BST thin films on $RuO_2$was substrate dependent. However, BST thin films on Ru electrodes are smoother and showed no substrate dependence, probably because the precursor surface diffusion length was greater than the sinusoidal perturbations of the wavelength.

The deposition rate, the current efficiency and surface morphology of trivalent Cr deposits were investigated according to additives in sulfate bath and current density. The deposition rate of the Cr deposits plated from the formic acid complexed bath was noticeably higher than that of the glycine complexed bath. The current efficiency of the deposition from formic acid bath was higher than that of the glycine bath and increased with current density in the range of 20-50 A/d$\m^2$. The current efficiency of the deposition from the formic acid bath with boric acid buffer was higher than that of the bath with aluminum sulfate or boric acid-aluminum sulfate buffers. The nodular crystallite size of the Cr deposits increased with current density and the uniform and crack-free growth of the deposits for the aluminum sulfate was observed compared to the other buffers.

The $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ thin films were fabricated with $Pb(La,Ti)O_3$ buffers in-situ onto $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser with energy density of $2.5J/cm^2$, and deposited for 10 minutes at $550^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature. And then, the films have been annealed at $550^{\circ}C$ in oxygen ambient pressure. The remanent polarization value is increased by using buffer layers but coercive field of films is slightly increased.

Edge detection in image processing and computer vision is one of the most fundamental operations. Canny edge detection algorithm has excellent performance and is currently widely used. However, it is difficult to process the algorithm in real-time because the algorithm is complex. In this study, the equations required in the algorithm were simplified to facilitate hardware implementation, and the calculation speed was increased by using a parallel structure. In particular, the size and management of local buffers were selected in consideration of parallel processing and filter size so that data could be processed without bottlenecks. It was designed in verilog and implemented in FPGA to verify operation and performance.

이 논문에서는 경계면을 이용하여 볼륨데이터를 고속으로 가시화하는 한 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 경계면을 이용한 레이캐스팅은 두 단계로 처리되는데 첫 번째 단계에서는 경계면을 찾아 관측점에서 경계면까지의 거리를 3차원 버퍼에 저장하여 놓고, 두 번째 단계에서는 이 거리를 이용하여 볼륨 공간을 고속 탐색하여 가시화한다. 제안하는 방법은 첫 번째 단계에서 일반적인 방법과 다르다. 즉 첫 번째 단계에서 경계면에 관한 정보를 볼륨데이터 좌표계 주축에 직각인 관측평면에 투영하여 6개의 2차원 깊이버퍼에 저장하여 놓고 두 번째 단계에서 이 깊이 값을 이용하여 볼륨 공간을 탐색한다. 제안한 방법은 객체의 복잡도와 관계없이 처리 시간이 거의 일정하고 사용 메모리양도 볼륨데이터 공간 xy, yz, zx 평면 해상도의 2배로 항상 일정하다. 제안된 방법에 내재하는 문제점과 해결 방법에 대해 고찰하고 구현 예를 보인다.

Recent cohort studies have relied on exposure prediction models to estimate individual-level air pollution concentrations because individual air pollution measurements are not available for cohort locations. For such prediction models, geographic variables related to pollution sources are important inputs. We demonstrated the computation process of geographic variables mostly recorded in 2010 at regulatory air pollution monitoring sites in South Korea. On the basis of previous studies, we finalized a list of 313 geographic variables related to air pollution sources in eight categories including traffic, demographic characteristics, land use, transportation facilities, physical geography, emissions, vegetation, and altitude. We then obtained data from different sources such as the Statistics Geographic Information Service and Korean Transport Database. After integrating all available data to a single database by matching coordinate systems and converting non-spatial data to spatial data, we computed geographic variables at 294 regulatory monitoring sites in South Korea. The data integration and variable computation were performed by using ArcGIS version 10.2 (ESRI Inc., Redlands, CA, USA). For traffic, we computed the distances to the nearest roads and the sums of road lengths within different sizes of circular buffers. In addition, we calculated the numbers of residents, households, housing buildings, companies, and employees within the buffers. The percentages of areas for different types of land use compared to total areas were calculated within the buffers. For transportation facilities and physical geography, we computed the distances to the closest public transportation depots and the boundary lines. The vegetation index and altitude were estimated at a given location by using satellite data. The summary statistics of geographic variables in Seoul across monitoring sites showed different patterns between urban background and urban roadside sites. This study provided practical knowledge on the computation process of geographic variables in South Korea, which will improve air pollution prediction models and contribute to subsequent health analyses.

The objective of this study was to investigate the dissolution patterns of variety of orally administered drug products available on the market. It aimed to understand their dissolution behaviors on the basis of the biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) concept. On the tenets of BCS, several active pharmaceutical ingredients were selected: fluoxetine hydrochloride (class I), naproxen sodium (class ll), pyridostigmine bromide (class III), furosemide (class IV) and simvastatin (class IV). Typical dissolution media used in this study were pH 1.2, pH 4 & 6.8 phosphate buffers, and water. In cases, particular dissolution media specified in the KP and/or USP were used. Dissolution patterns of fluoxetine hydrochloride and pyridostigmine bromide products were characterized by their rapid release In addition, their dissolution characteristics were relatively unaffected by the type of a dissolution medium. Similar dissolution patterns were observed with pH 1.2, pH 4 & 6.8 phosphate buffers and water. By sharp contrast, poor dissolution patterns were noticed with naproxen sodium products, when pH 1.2 and pH 4 phosphate buffer were used. Improvements in its dissolution were achieved by switching the dissolution media to pH 6.8 phosphate buffer or water. Unsatisfactory dissolution data also were observed with a simvastatin product, when it was subject to dissolution tests by use of a surfactant-free pH 1.2, pH 4 & 6.8 phosphate buffers and water. All the release patterns reported in this study were best understood when BCS concepts were implemented. Our results demonstrated that a BCS-based drug classification should be considered first to choose a dissolution test/method and set up dissolution specification.

스위칭 시스템에서 버퍼는 라우팅시 신호간의 충돌을 방지하기 위해 반드시 필요하다. 광 스위칭 시스템에서도 단순한 광 교차 접속(OXC) 이상의 교환 및 라우팅을 수행하기 위해서는 광 버퍼를 필요로 한다. 오늘날 광전송 시스템 및 광 네트워크는 WDM을 기반으로 형성되어 가고 있으며 따라서 광 스위칭 역시 WDM 기술에 기반을 둘 것이고 이에 필요한 광 버퍼도 WDM 신호를 처리할 수 있어야 한다. WDM 스위칭 시스템에서 동시에 동일 가입자로 라우팅된 WDM 신호들을 순차적으로 출력시키기 위해 WDM 광 출력 버퍼를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 발표된 WDM 광 출력 버퍼에 비해 구조, 하드웨어, SNR 및 BER 특성이 개선된 새로운 구조의 WDM 광 출력 버퍼를 제안한다. 제안한 버퍼에 대한 특성 분석결과, 새로운 구조의 버퍼는 버퍼를 구성하는 광 게이트(반도체 광 증폭기)의 이득 ON-OFF 비율(Contrast ratio)이 30dB인 경우, BER 10-9을 만족하면서 255개의 WDM셀을 저장할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

This work describes a 13b 100 MS/s 0.13 um CMOS four-stage pipeline ADC for 3G communication systems. The proposed SHA-free ADC employs a range-scaling technique based on switched-capacitor circuits to properly handle a wide input range of $2V_{P-P}$ using a single on-chip reference of $1V_{P-P}$. The proposed range scaling makes the reference buffers keep a sufficient voltage headroom and doubles the offset tolerance of a latched comparator in the flash ADC1 with a doubled input range. A two-step reference selection technique in the back-end 5b flash ADC reduces both power dissipation and chip area by 50%. The prototype ADC in a 0.13 um CMOS demonstrates the measured differential and integral nonlinearities within 0.57 LSB and 0.99 LSB, respectively. The ADC shows a maximum signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio of 64.6 dB and a maximum spurious-free dynamic range of 74.0 dB at 100 MS/s, respectively. The ADC with an active die area of 1.2 $mm^2$ consumes 145.6 mW including high-speed reference buffers and 91 mW excluding buffers at 100 MS/s and a 1.3 V supply voltage.
