Phase change memory (PCM) has been studied as an emerging memory technology for last-level cache (LLC) due to its extremely low leakage. However, it consumes high levels of energy in updating cells and its write endurance is limited. To relieve the write pressure of LLC, we propose a delta value indicator (DVI) by employing a small cache which stores the difference between the value currently stored and the value newly loaded. Since the write energy consumption of the small cache is less than the LLC, the energy consumption is reduced by access to the small cache instead of the LLC. In addition, the lifetime of the LLC is further extended because the number of write accesses to the LLC is decreased. To this end, a delta value indicator and controlling circuits are inserted into the LLC. The simulation results show a 26.8% saving of dynamic energy consumption and a 31.7% lifetime extension compared to a state-of-the-art scheme for PCM.

This paper summarizes the tests performed in the ATLAS facility during its first two years of operation (2007${\sim}$2008). Two categories of tests have been performed successfully: (a) the reflood phase of the large-break loss-of-coolant accidents in a cold leg, and (b) the breaks in one of four direct vessel injection lines. Those tests contributed to understanding the unique thermal-hydraulic behavior, resolving the safety-related concerns and providing an evaluation of the safety analysis codes and methodology for the advanced pressurized water reactor, APR1400. Several important and interesting phenomena have been observed during the tests. In most cases, the ATLAS shows reasonable accident characteristics and conservative results compared with those predicted by one-dimensional safety analysis codes. A wide variety of small-break LOCA tests will be performed in 2009.

In this study, we aim to eliminate the flickering phenomenon in multi-function display (MFD) units during the flight of fixed-wing aircraft. To execute flight missions effectively, the video signals transmitted to MFDs must provide information accurately and seamlessly. Therefore, a method for addressing the flickering phenomenon-including cause analysis and failure diagnosis-is adopted; specifically, a wiring configuration with a direct connection between the video signal cables and with a short cable length is adopted. The proposed method is experimentally verified using a flight test.

최근 인공지능 기반 객체 탐지 기술이 발전함에 따라 영상 감시, 얼굴 인식, 로봇 제어, IoT, 자율주행, 제조업, 보안 등 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 발전된 객체 탐지 알고리즘을 이용하여 비전문가에겐 생소한 컴퓨터나 전기 장치 등의 '단자(terminal)' 모양을 구별하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 객체 탐지 프로그램인 You Only Look Once (YOLO) 알고리즘을 이용하여 입력한 단자들의 모양을 검출하는 알고리즘을 구성하였다. 일상에서 쉽게 볼 수 있는 단자들의 이미지(VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP, USB-A, USB-C)를 라벨링하여 데이터셋을 구축하였고, YOLOv4와 YOLOv5 두 버전의 알고리즘을 사용하여 성능을 검증하였다. 실험 결과 mean Average Precision(mAP) 기준 최대 92.9%의 정확도를 얻을 수 있었다. 전기 장치에 따라 단자의 모양이 다양하고, 그 종류 또한 많기 때문에 본 연구가 방송 기술 등의 여러 분야에 응용될 것으로 기대된다.

KAERI has been operating an integral effect test facility, ATLAS (Advanced Thermal-Hydraulic Test Loop for Accident Simulation), for accident simulations of advanced PWRs. Regarding integral effect tests, a database for major design basis accidents has been accumulated and a Domestic Standard Problem (DSP) exercise using the ATLAS has been proposed and successfully performed. The ATLAS DSP aims at the effective utilization of an integral effect database obtained from the ATLAS, the establishment of a cooperative framework in the domestic nuclear industry, better understanding of thermal hydraulic phenomena, and an investigation of the potential limitations of the existing best-estimate safety analysis codes. For the first ATLAS DSP exercise (DSP-01), integral effect test data for a 100% DVI line break accident of the APR1400 was selected by considering its technical importance and by incorporating comments from participants. Twelve domestic organizations joined in this DSP-01 exercise. Finally, ten of these organizations submitted their calculation results. This ATLAS DSP-01 exercise progressed as an open calculation; the integral effect test data was delivered to the participants prior to the code calculations. The MARS-KS was favored by most participants but the RELAP5/MOD3.3 code was also used by a few participants. This paper presents all the information of the DSP-01 exercise as well as the comparison results between the calculations and the test data. Lessons learned from the first DSP-01 are presented and recommendations for code users as well as for developers are suggested.

Purpose: Although several reports have described the relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease, information about the association between periodontal disease and the progression of degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) is lacking. Therefore, we performed a retrospective, single-center, pilot study to provide insight into this potential association. Methods: Data from 45 consecutive patients (19 men; median age, 83 years) with mild or moderate degenerative aortic stenosis were analyzed for a mean observation period of 3.3±1.9 years. The total amount of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis and titers of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) against periodontal bacteria and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were evaluated. Aortic valve area (AVA), maximal velocity (Vmax), mean pressure gradient (mean PG), and the Doppler velocity index (DVI) were evaluated. The change in each parameter per year ([Parameter_LATEST-Parameter_BASELINE]/Follow-up Years) was calculated from the retrospective follow-up echocardiographic data (baseline vs. the most recently collected data [latest]). Results: No correlation was found between the concentration of periodontopathic bacteria in the saliva and AS status/progression. The anti-P. gingivalis antibody titer in the serum showed a significant positive correlation with AVA and DVI. Additionally, there was a negative correlation between the anti-P. gingivalis IgG antibody titer and mean PG. The hs-CRP concentration showed positive correlations with Vmax and mean PG. Meanwhile, a negative correlation was observed between the anti-P. gingivalis IgG antibody titer and ΔAVA/year and Δmean PG/year. The hs-CRP concentration showed positive correlations with Vmax and mean PG, and it was significantly higher in patients with rapid aortic stenosis progression (ΔAVA/year <-0.1) than in their counterparts. Conclusions: Our results suggest that periodontopathic bacteria such as A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis are not directly related to the status/progression of degenerative AS. However, inflammation and a lower immune response may be associated with disease progression.

멀티 포맷 방송용 모니터는 SDI 신호뿐만 아니라 HDMI, DVI, Component, Composite로 전송되는 영상, 음성, 부가 데이터를 보여주는 모니터로 방송용 레퍼런스 모니터로 사용되고 있다. 특히 부가 데이터 중에서 Closed Caption의 경우 북미에서는 EIA-608과 EIA-708 두 가지 표준이 있고, 세부적으로 네 가지의 방법으로 전송되는데 일반적인 방송용 모니터에는 적용되어 있는 것이 극히 드물다. 또한 SDI 신호로 전송되는 Closed Caption 데이터를 Decoding하는 상용 IC는 거의 없는 수준이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 SDI로 전송되는 다양한 방식의 Closed Caption 데이터를 모두 표시하기 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 먼저 VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) 에 아날로그 Waveform 형태로 입력되는 경우 데이터의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해 Clock Run In을 실시간으로 검출 할 수 있는 구조를 제안하고 FPGA (Field Programmable Gata Array)로 구현하였다. 또한 VANC (Vertical Ancillary Space)로 들어오는 Caption데이터의 경우 특히 EIA-708 처럼 많은 데이터가 입력되는 경우 실시간으로 처리하기 위해서 기존의 I2C와 같은 느린 전송 방법이 아닌 FPGA와 프로세서 간에 메모리를 직접 Access 할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안 한 방법을 FPGA로 구현하였고, 실제 미국이나 캐나다 방송국에서 사용하는 Caption 인코더 장비 뿐만아니라 방송 콘텐츠를 직접 이용하여 동작 상태를 검증하였다.

The program on thermal-hydraulic evaluation by testing and analysis (THETA) for the development and licensing of the new design features in the APR1400 (Advanced Power Reactor-1400) is briefly introduced with a presentation on the research motivation and typical results of the separate effect tests and analyses of the major design features. The first part deals with multi-dimensional phenomena related to the safety analysis of the APR1400. One research area is related to the multidimensional behavior of the safety injection (SI) water in a reactor pressure vessel downcomer that uses a direct vessel injection type of SI system. The other area is associated with the condensation of steam jets and the resultant thermal mixing in a water pool; these phenomena are relevant to the depressurization of a reactor coolant system (RCS). The second part describes our efforts to develop new components for safety enhancements, such as a fluidic device as a passive SI flow controller and a sparger to depressurize the RCS. This work contributes to an understanding of the new thermal-hydraulic phenomena that are relevant to advanced reactor system designs; it also improves the prediction capabilities of analysis tools for multi-dimensional flow behavior, especially in complicated geometries.
