Automatic monitoring of the cutting conditions is one of the most improtant technologies in machining. In this study, the feasibility in applying acoustic emission(AE) signals for the in-process detection of endmill wear and fracture has been investigated by performing experimental test on the NC vertical milling machine with SM45C for specimen. As the results of detecting and analyzing AE signals on various cutting conditions, the followings have confirmed. (1) The RMS value of acoustic emission is related sensitively to the cutting velocity, but is not affected largely by feed rate. (2) The burst type AE signals of high level have been observed when removing chips distorderly and discontinuously. (3) When the RMS value grows up rapidly due to the increase of wear the endmill are generally broken or fractured, but when the endmills fracture at the conditions of smooth chip-flow or built-up-edge(BUE) occurred frequently, the rapid change of the RMS arenot found. And it is expected that this technigue will be quite useful for in-process sensing of tool wear and fracture.

The advent of microarray technologies gives an opportunity to moni tor the expression of ten thousands of genes, simultaneously. Such microarray data can be deteriorated by experimental errors and image artifacts, which generate non-negligible outliers that are estimated by 15% of typical microarray data. Thus, it is an important issue to detect and correct the se faulty probes prior to high-level data analysis such as classification or clustering. In this paper, we propose a systematic procedure for the detection of faulty probes and its proper correction in Genechip array based on multivariate statistical approaches. Principal component analysis (PCA), one of the most widely used multivariate statistical approaches, has been applied to construct a statistical correlation model with 20 pairs of probes for each gene. And, the faulty probes are identified by inspecting the squared prediction error (SPE) of each probe from the PCA model. Then, the outlying probes are reconstructed by the iterative optimization approach minimizing SPE. We used the public data presented from the gene chip project of human fibroblast cell. Through the application study, the proposed approach showed good performance for probe correction without removing faulty probes, which may be desirable in the viewpoint of the maximum use of data information.

Data accuracy can be increased by detecting and removing the incorrect data generated in wireless sensor networks. By increasing the data accuracy, network lifetime can be increased parallel. Network lifetime or operational time is the time during which WSN is able to fulfill its tasks by using microcontroller with on-chip memory radio transceivers, albeit distributed sensor nodes send summary of their data to their cluster heads, which reduce energy consumption gradually. In this paper a powerful algorithm using proactive fuzzy system is proposed and it is a mixture of fuzzy logic with comparative correlation techniques that ensure high data accuracy by detecting incorrect data in distributed wireless sensor networks. This proposed system is implemented in two phases there, the first phase creates input space partitioning by using robust fuzzy c means clustering and the second phase detects incorrect data and removes it completely. Experimental result makes transparent of combined correlated fuzzy system (CCFS) which detects faulty readings with greater accuracy (99.21%) than the existing one (98.33%) along with low false alarm rate.

In the Bluetooth piconet in which up to 7 slave devices can be connected simultaneously at one network instance, the wireless data expected to be sent over to the RF interface should be sliced by the unit of 1 micrometer, which is a requirement in the specification of the Bluetooth version 1.1. In this contribution, we have designed a digital low-pass filter which is able to slice the unstable analog signal fed from the RF interface to the Baseband, by the uniform unit of 1 micrometer, and is also capable of removing the possible noise which can be caused by the analog circuit system. The low-pass filter operated well in the various modes of the Bluetooth RF embedded Baseband chip such as sleep mode, normal mode, and high-speed mode at 12MHz, 24MHz, and 48MHz respectively.

In this paper, a 50ns 256-kb EEPROM IP for MCU (micro controller unit) ICs is designed. The speed of data sensing is increased in the read mode by using a proposed DB sensing circuit of differential amplifier type which uses the reference voltage, and the switching speed is also increased by reducing the total DB parasitic capacitance as a distributed DB structure is separated into eight. Also, the access time is reduced reducing a precharging time of BL in the read mode removing a 5V NMOS transistor in the conventional RD switch, and the reliability of output data can be secured by obtaining the differential voltage (${\Delta}V$) between the DB and the reference voltages as 0.2*VDD. The access time of the designed 256-kb EEPROM IP is 45.8ns and the layout size is $1571.625{\mu}m{\times}798.540{\mu}m$ based on MagnaChip's $0.18{\mu}m$ EEPROM process.

This paper proposes an algorithm and a hardware architecture for a broadcast communication which has the worst bottleneck among multiprocessor using distributed memory architectures. In conventional system, The pipelined broadcast algorithm is an algorithm which takes advantage of maximum bandwidth of communication bus. But unnecessary synchronization process are repeated, because the pipelined broadcast sends the data divided into many parts. In this paper, the MPI unit for pipeline chain algorithm based on circuit switching removing the redundancy of synchronization process was designed, the proposed architecture was evaluated by modeling it with systemC. Consequently, the performance of the proposed architecture was highly improved for broadcast communication up to 3.3 times that of systems using conventional pipelined broadcast algorithm, it can almost take advantage of the maximum bandwidth of transmission bus. Then, it was implemented with VerilogHDL, synthesized with TSMC 0.18um library and implemented into a chip. The area of synthesis results occupied 4,700 gates(2 input NAND gate) and utilization of total area is 2.4%. The proposed architecture achieves improvement in total performance of MPSoC occupying relatively small area.

A fast-switching current-pulse driver for light emitting diode (LED) backlight is proposed. It uses a regulated drain current mirror (RD-CM) [1] and a high-voltage NMOS transistor (HV-NMOS). It achieves the fast-response current-pulse switching by using a dynamic gain-boosting amplifier (DGB-AMP). The DGB-AMP does not discharge the large HV-NMOS gate capacitance of the RD-CM when the output current switch turns off. Therefore, it does not need to charge the HV-NMOS gate capacitance when the switch turns on. The proposed current-pulse driver achieves the fast current switching by removing the repetitive gate discharging and charging. Simulation results were verified with measurements performed on a fabricated chip using a 5V/40V 0.5um BCD process. It reduces the switching delay to 360ns from 700ns of the conventional current-pulse driver.

In this paper, we design a 32-bit eFuse OTP memory for PMICs using MagnaChip's $0.18{\mu}m$ process. We solve a problem of an electrical shortage between an eFuse link and the VSS of a p-substrate in programming by placing an n-well under the eFuse link. Also, we propose a WL driver circuit which activates the RWL (read word-line) or WWL (write word-line) of a dual-port eFuse OTP memory cell selectively when a decoded WERP (WL enable for read or program) signal is inputted to the eFuse OTP memory directly. Furthermore, we reduce the layout area of the control circuit by removing a delay chain in the BL precharging circuit. We'can obtain an yield of 100% at a program voltage of 5.5V on 94 manufactured sample dies when measured with memory tester equipment.

An embedded system is implemented in this work by removing PCMCIA dedicate controller chip from ARM processor based embedded Linux system. In this paper, we propose PCMCIA interface architecture by using Ad hoc methods for wireless network. The proposed system is developed based on S3C2410A processor and it is interfaced with PCMCIA socket by using combinational digital logic circuits. It is interesting to observe that Ad hoc interface provides $97.9%{\sim}102.49%$ performance when compared with dedicate controller systems. The results indicate that the proposed method simplifies the system without loss of performance.
