This paper proposes various measures of reliability, maintainability and availability in information technology service management(ISTM). Global ITSM standards such as ITIL(IT Infrastructure Library) and ISO/IEC 20000 are introduced. Especially availability management of De-facto and De-juire standards is concerned with users and customers of IT service. The study presents seven reliability measures, six maintainability measures and two availability measures. These results can be effectively used with a appropriate IT availability management tools such as CFIA(Component Failure Impact Analysis) and SOA(Service Outage Analysis), etc.

This study introduces an efficient readout circuit designed for two-electrode electrocardiogram (ECG) recording, characterized by its low-noise and low-power consumption attributes. Unlike its three-electrode counterpart, the two-electrode ECG is susceptible to common-mode interference (CMI), causing signal distortion. To counter this, the proposed circuit integrates a common-mode charge pump (CMCP) with a window comparator, allowing for a CMI tolerance of up to 20 V_PP. The CMCP design prevents the activation of electrostatic discharge (ESD) diodes and becomes operational only when CMI surpasses the predetermined range set by the window comparator. This ensures power efficiency and minimizes intermodulation distortion (IMD) arising from switching noise. To maintain ECG signal accuracy, the circuit employs a chopper-stabilized instrumentation amplifier (IA) for low-noise attributes, and to achieve high input impedance, it incorporates a floating high-pass filter (HPF) and a current-feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA). This comprehensive design integrates various components, including a QRS peak detector and serial peripheral interface (SPI), into a single 0.18-㎛ CMOS chip occupying 0.54 mm². Experimental evaluations showed a 0.59 µV_RMS noise level within a 1-100 Hz bandwidth and a power draw of 23.83 µW at 1.8 V.

This review paper describes the overall operating principle of a discrete-time delta-sigma modulator (DTDSM) and a continuous-time delta-sigma modulator (CTDSM) using a switched-capacitor (SC). In addition, research that has solved the problems related to each delta-sigma modulator (DSM) is introduced, and the latest developments are explained. This paper describes the chopper-stabilization technique that mitigates flicker noise, which is crucial for the DSM. In the case of DTDSM, this paper addresses the problems that arise when using SC circuits and explains the importance of the operational transconductance amplifier performance of the first integrator of the DSM. In the case of CTDSM, research that has reduced power consumption, and addresses the problems of clock jitter and excess loop delay is described. The recent developments of the analog front end, which have become important due to the increasing use of wireless sensors, is also described. In addition, this paper presents the advantages and disadvantages of the three-opamp instrumentation amplifier (IA), current feedback IA (CFIA), resistive feedback IA, and capacitively coupled IA (CCIA) methods for implementing instrumentation amplifiers in AFEs.

치콘 및 엽채류의 저장기간 연장을 위해 천연보존제 및 천연항균제 선정을 위한 항균실험을 실시하고 후박 추출물이 미생물 최소 저해 농도 및 집락 형성 저해능이 높음을 확인하였다. 이를 엽채류에 도포함으로써 이들의 저장기간을 연장시키고자 수용성 추출물의 활용성을 극대화 할 수 있는 식용 나노입자를 제조하고 전자현미경 관찰 및 image anlyzer 측정을 통해 후박 추출물 나노입자의 80% 이상이 300nm 이하 크기로 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 투과전자현미경을 이용한 관찰을 통해서도 수십 nm $\sim$ 약 500nm 범위의 유사 구형 나노입자임을 확인하였으며, 엽채류 저장기간 연장 효과를 알아보고자 이 나노입자를 치콘 표면에 분무 도포하였다. 전자현미경을 통한 치콘 표면 촬영으로 도포된 후박 추출물 나노입자가 표면에 잔류하고 있음을 확인하였으며, HPLC 분석을 통해 후박 추출물을 서서히 방출하고 있음을 확인하였다. 나노입자를 도포한 치콘과 무처리 대조군의 저장기간에 따른 에틸렌 발생량을 GC로 측정한 결과, 입자를 도포한 치콘에서 초기 에틸렌 발생량이 높으나 저장기간에 따른 에틸렌 생성량의 증가를 억제해 7일 이후에는 발생량 자체도 적어졌음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 후박 추출물의 나노입자가 치콘의 세포호흡을 효과적으로 억제하는 것을 확인한 것으로 나노입자의 처리를 통해 저장기간의 연장효과를 나타내었다.
