Test Interface Controller (TIC) provided by ARM Ltd. is widely used for functional testing of System-on-Chip (SoC) adopting Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) bus system. Accordingly, this architecture has a deficiency of not being able to concurrently shifting in and out the structural scan test patterns through the TIC and AMBA bus. This paper introduces a new AMBA based Test Access Mechanism (ATAM) for speedy testing of SoCs embedding ARM cores. While preserving the compatability with the ARM TIC, since scan in and out operations can be performed simultaneously, test application time through the expensive Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) can be drastically reduced.

The density of Memory has been increased by great challenge for memory technology; therefore, elements of memory become more smaller than before and the sensitivity to faults increases. As a result of these changes, memory testing becomes more complex. In addition, as the number of storage elements per chip increases, the test cost becomes more remarkable as the cost per transistor drops. Recent development in system-on-chip(SoC) technology makes it possible to incorporate large embedded memories into a chip. However, it also complicates the test process, since usually the embedded memories cannot be controlled from the external environment. We present a ARM processor-programmable built-in self-test(BIST) scheme suitable for embedded memory testing in the SoC environment. The proposed BIST circuit can be programmed vis an on-chip microprocessor.

In this paper, the connection device of RS232C and TCP/IP implementation using ARM processor and LINUX is proposed. Data interaction flash memory the multiple serial ports are transferred to ARM processor and the data are processed and formed into data packet for transfer via internet protocol. Packet flash memory Internet is decoded to extract the serial port data. The serial ports supports RS232C asynchronous protocol communication and control program is developed in GNU-C and installed in the on-board memory for packet conversion and control. The research result can be applied to terminal server, printer server and multiple serial ports equipments.

The Zygomatic arch is structurally protruded and is easily fractured. The classic management of zygomatic arch fracture has been mentioned the Keen, Lothrop, Dingman and Ailing and threaded K-wire. All of the above methods have advantages and disadvantages. To minimize the disadvantages, we performed threaded K-wire for the first time using C-arm image intensifier. The subjects were 16 patients with Knight North group II (Zygomatic arch fracture). Among them the C-arm was used in 12 patients and the operator used sensitivity general method in 4 patients and confirmed the operation by mobile X-ray equipment. In conclusion, both groups were satisfied surgically and cosmetically. Using the C-arm, actual image at the time operation was clear and satisfied, the surrounding tissue damage was minimized and at was more accurately completed. The operation time was shortened by 30 to 60 minutes proving it to be an efficient method. We suggest though that further studies be needed to evaluate the radiation effect on these patients.

A radiation imaging system used in a surgery room is mainly using C-arm which is purposed to fluoroscope. C-arm is often use to watch an operation's accuracy and progress, but not only being bombed to this first beam but also affected to this scattered beam, so now we are look for the way to reduce bombed amount of doctor, nurses and radiological technologists. We measured the exposure dose in $0^{\circ}$ spot according to the distance to find out frequency distribution of scattered ray in an operation room and found the spot which has the same exposure dose from $30^{\circ}$ distance of all directions and wrote isodose curve. We analyzed the data and found out the sudden reduction of scattered ray according to the long direction also found out that scattered ray was not related to the directions. Operators must recognize the reduction of exposure dose. Because reducing scattered ray from all directions in an operation room is really difficult. So every operators must use shelters to reduce the exposure dose and notice the safety.

In this paper, the hardware(HW) and software(SW) co-design methodology of H.264/AVC decoder using ARM-Excalibur is proposed. The SoC consists of embedded processor, memory, peripheral device and logic circuits. Recently, the co-design method which designs simultaneously HW and SW part is a new paradigm in SoC design. Because the optimization for partitioning the SoC system is very difficult, the verification must be performed earlier in design flow. We designed the H.264 and AVC Decoder using co-design method. It is shown that, for the proposed co-design method, the performance improvements can be obtained.

In this study, we have developed the resistive leakage current detecting and tripping circuit breaker based on a 32bit ARM processor. The developed leakage circuit breaker can be operated in a desired trip threshold within 0.03 seconds as specified in KS C 4613. This resistive leakage current breaker is expected to be applicable as a circuit breake for prevention of electric fires and electric shock in smart distribution panel.

This paper studied a C-arm's exposure condition and measured scatter rays by thickness and distance. This study reached the following conclusion. 1. Approrimately exposure dose for a patient using fluoroscopy is as follows : 2. Mostly, an operating room was not shielding by lead and operator put on only apron without thyroid and facial part protection. 3. 0.5 mmPb equivalent's apron shielded about 99% of scattered rays at 60 cm from x-ray tube. 4. Scattered rays are depended on distance and thickness so operators are should be careful when using fluoroscopy by C-arm and if possible use high frequency equipment that has a large output.

This paper addresses issues associated with the real-time implementation of a wideband speech codec such as ITU-T G. 729. 1 on an ARM processor in order to provide an improved voice quality of a VoWiFi service. The real-time implementation features in optimizing the C-source code of G.729. 1 and replacing several parts of the codec algorithm with faster ones. The performance of the implementation is measured by the CPU time spent for G.729.1 on the ARM926EJ processor that is used for a VoWiFi phone. It is shown from the experiments that the G.729.1 codec works in real-time with better voice quality than G 729 codec that is conventionally used for VoIP or VoWiFi phones.
