This paper describes design of high energy efficiency 32 bit parallel processor core using instruction-levels data gating and dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) techniques. We present instruction-levels data gating technique. We can control activation and switching activity of the function units in the proposed data technique. We present instruction-levels DVS technique without using DC-DC converter and voltage scheduler controlled by the operation system. We can control powers of the function units in the proposed DVS technique. The proposed instruction-levels DVS technique has the simple architecture than complicated DVS which is DC-DC converter and voltage scheduler controlled by the operation system and a hardware implementation is very easy. But, the energy efficiency of the proposed instruction-levels DVS technique having dual-power supply is similar to the complicated DVS which is DC-DC converter and voltage scheduler controlled by the operation system. We simulate the circuit simulation for running test program using Spectra. We selected reduced power supply to 0.667 times of the supplied power supply. The energy efficiency of the proposed 32 bit parallel processor core using instruction-levels data gating and DVS techniques can improve about 88.4% than that of the 32 bit parallel processor core without using those. The designed high energy efficiency 32 bit parallel processor core can utilize as the coprocessor processing massive data at high speed.

The PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) is a sensor for detecting the position of incident light. Because of its various advantages, it is used for position and angle sensing, optical range finders, laser displacement sensing, and etc. In the previous study of the position finding system, the laser tracking robot is developed. Small data rate and unidirectionality is the characteristics of data communication both DSP-based pan/tilt control board and the robot. If we can transmit data to the target using PSD sensor and laser diode module, there is no need for communication devices such as the bluetooth and wireless module. For this reason, this paper presents the new method for data transmission. Transmit data using RS-232 is modulated by a VTF(Voltage To Frequency) converter The laser diode module transmits the modulated data. And then the PSD sensor receive that data. Demodulation process is accomplished by the system which is consisted with trans-impedance amplifier, FTV(Frequency To Voltage) converter, and etc.

In this study, a pseudo ship structure data model for the :.hip cargo hold structure based on STEP is proposed. The proposed data model is based on Application Reference Model of AP218 Ship Structure which is the model that specifies conceptual structures and constraints used to describe the information requirements of an application. And the proposeddata model refers the Ship Common Model framework for the model architecture which is the basis for ongoing ship AP development within the ISO ship-building group and the ship product definition information model of CSDP research project for analyzing the relationship between ship structure model entities. The proposed data model includes Space, Compartment. Ship Structural System, Structural Part and Structural Feature of cargo hold. To generate this data model schema in EXPRESS format, ‘GX-Converter’was used which enables user to edit a model in EXPRESS format and convert schema file in EXPRESS format. Using this model schema, STEP physical file containing design data for ship cargo hold data structure was generated through SDAI programming. The another STEP physical file was also generated containing geometry data of ship cargo hold which was extracted and calculated by SDAI and external surface/surface intersection program. The geometry information of ship cargo hold can be then transferred to commercial CAD system, for example, Pro/Engineer. Examples of the modification of the design information are also Presented.

This letter proposes a low-power current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The proposed DAC reduces the clock power by cutting the clock signal to the current-source cells in which the data will not be changed. The 10-bit DAC is implemented using a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS process with $V_{DD}$=1.2 V. Its area is $0.21\;mm^2$. It consumes 4.46 mW at a 1-MHz signal frequency and 200-MHz sampling rate. The clock power is reduced to 30.9% and 36.2% of a conventional DAC at 1.25-MHz and 10-MHz signal frequencies, respectively. The measured spurious free dynamic ranges are 72.8 dB and 56.1 dB at 1-MHz and 50-MHz signal frequencies, respectively.

Engine analyzer is developed with the aids of personal computer, A/D converter, interfacing signal transducer and data processing computer programs. The objective of this development are that it should firstly be produced at the resonable low price compared with imported one taking advantage of using existing personal computer and printer, and it should also give good quality of performance. For the attainment of this objective, A/D converter should have been developed to meet the price limit of the equipment. The experiment is performed in a 4 cycle 4 cylinder gasoline engine by this analyzer, and all the information which are necessary for the combustion analysis can be obtained through the processing of the pressure data that are stored in the computer. These are pressure-volume curve, pressure-crank angle curve, the rate of pressure rise and heat release versus crank angle curve etc. With this developed experimental system of resonable price, it will be considered that more easy way of engine data pick-up and processing is possible.

This paper presents the FPGA implementation of efficient algorithms for approximating exponential function based on floating point format data. The Taylor-Maclaurin expansion as a conventional approximation method becomes inefficient since high order expansion is required for the large number to satisfy the approximation error. A format converter is designed to convert fixed data format to floating data format, and then the real number is separated into two fields, an integer field and an exponent field to separately perform mathematic operations. A new assembly command is designed and added to previously developed command set to refer the math table. To test the proposed algorithm, assembly program has been developed. The program is downloaded into the Altera DSP KIT W/STRATIX II EP2S180N Board. Performances of the proposed method are compared with those of the Taylor-Maclaurin expansion.

The traceability maintenance system for the AC voltage and current has been developed at the frequency range of 20 Hz to 100 Hz without using any compensation technique which is used at thermal converter (TC) ac-dc transfer system at low frequencies. The system uses a digital voltmeter (DVM) as a data acquisition system of the input waveform and stored data in memory. The developed algorithm acquires and processes the sampling data to calculate the root mean square (rms) value of the input voltage of DVM which operates at DC 10 V range for better accuracy. The best uncertainty of the AC voltage measurements is $3 {\mu}V/V$ within the frequency range. The best uncertainty of the AC current measurements is better than the $5 {\mu}A/A$ and mainly depend on the current to voltage converter, ac-dc current shunt or Current Transformer (CT), used for the measurement

In radar signal processing, an A/D converter with sufficient dynamic range and high sampling speed is required to detect the weakest target signals in heavy clutter and ECM environments. As the sampling frequency increases, the amount of digital data transfered to the signal processing module is also increased. To overcome these massive data transfer burden, we need an A/D conversion module with an enough data transfer rate. In this paper, we proposed an implementation scheme of a new A/D conversio module that can be used in multi-mode 3-D phased array radar signal processing system, and evaluated the performance. The proposed A/D conversion module is implemented with a standard A/D converter and a 6U-standard VME bus.

In general, analog tester or strip chart recorder have been used to measure the corrosion potential of structures such as gas pipelines, oil pipelines, hot water pipelines, power cables etc. Recently, automatic digital data logger substitutes for these manual equipment because using these manual equipments are tedious and time consuming. However, digital data logger also has a shortcoming, that is, short measuring time because of the short lifetime of batteries. Therefore, we developed a long lifetime and low power loss battery taking advantage of galvanic series. In this paper, the results of development for power generator using two metals and DC/DC converter in order to obtain enough voltage for the operation of digital data logger. DC/DC converter operates with 0.5[V]. Its output voltage is 3.5[V] and output current is from 60[mAh] to 1,200[mAh].
