  • In this paper, proposed a new lighting control system which can reduce power consumption compared to conventional street lamps and intelligently control the light efficiently depending on whether there is a vehicle on the street. The new lighting control system proposed by this paper detects the presence of cars by collecting and analyzing sounds generated by the movement of cars. Then, the system controls lighting of street lamps based on the above car detection information, and turns on the street lamps sequentially by transmitting the car detection information. Experimental results showed that lightings were controlled based on the presence of cars and that operations of the lamps were made by turning on the lights sequentially by determining the moving direction of cars. This system is considered a technology that can reduce energies by applying to local roads with a few cars moving or national highways where lights are always turned on with low energy efficiency.

  • In this paper, we present a high-speed RFID data filtering engine designed to carry out filtering under the conditions of massive data and massive filters. We discovered that the high-speed RFID data filtering technique is very similar to the high-speed packet classification technique which is used in high-speed routers and firewall systems. Actually, our filtering engine is designed based on existing packet classification algorithms, Bit Parallelism and Aggregated Bit Vector(ABV). In addition, we also discovered that there are strong temporal relations and redundancy in the RFID data filtering operations. We incorporated two kinds of caches, tag and filter caches, to make use of this characteristic to improve the efficiency of the filtering engine. The performance of the proposed engine has been examined by implementing a prototype system and testing it. Compared to the basic sequential filter comparison approach, our engine shows much better performance, and it gets better as the number of filters increases.

  • With the expansion of natural gas demands in many countries, the necessity of LNG receiving terminals has been increased. The offshore LNG Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) attracts attentions not only for a land based LNG receiving terminal alternative, but also for a feasible and economic solution. Nowadays, as the reliability of offshore oil and gas floating facilities and LNG carriers gains with proven worldwide operations, the FSRU can achieve a safety level that can be comparable to an onshore terminal. The design development related with safety features of the FSRU has been extensively carried out by oil and gas companies, shipyards, engineering companies, and equipment vendors, and has been successful so far in many fields. The construction of the FSRU can be achieved by integrating various technologies and experiences from many disciplines and many participating companies and vendors. In this paper, reviews on some of the important design features and design improvements on FSRU together with the practical construction aspects in cargo containment, vaporization system, ESD system, and operation modes, have been covered in comparison with actual LNG carrier, onshore receiving terminal, and FPSO systems. In order to materialize an FSRU project, the technical and economic justification has to be preceded. It is believed that once the safety and technical soundness is convinced, the FSRU can bring a higher project feasibility by reducing the overall construction time and cost. Through this study, an FSRU design readily applicable to an actual project has been developed by incorporating experiences gained from many marine and offshore projects. The wide use of proven standard technologies adopted in the series construction of LNG carriers and offshore FPSOs will bring the project efficiency and reliability.

  • In this paper, a new logic transformation method to consider both low power consumption and high testability is proposed. We search the CFF(Compact Fanout Free) that has low probability of being observable at the primary outputs. Under the condition that the CFF is unobservable at all primary outputs, the switching operations in it can be removed by adding redundant connections into it. The testability of the transformed circuit generally tends to reduce. In our method, however, the inserted redundant connections operate as test points in the test mode and can improve not only the controllability but also the observability of the CFF. The transformed circuit consumes less power in the normal mode and also has higher testability in the test mode. To show the efficiency of the proposed logic transformation method, we perform some experiments on the MCNC benchmark test circuits. The results show that the power consumption of the transformed circuit is reduced by 13% maximally and the fault coverage of the transformed circuit is increased.

  • As demand for efficiency in handling dynamic XML data grows, new dynamic XML labeling schemes have been researched. The key idea of the dynamic XML labeling scheme is to find ancestor-descendent-sibling relationships and to minimize memory space to store total label, response time and range of relabeling incurred by update operations. The prime number labeling scheme is a representative scheme which supports dynamic XML documents. It determines the ancestor-descendant relationships between two elements by a simple divisibility test of labels. When a new element is inserted into the XML data using this scheme, it does not change the label values of existing nodes. However, since each prime number must be used exclusively, labels can become significantly large. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce a novel technique to effectively reduce the problem of label overflow. The suggested idea is based on tree decomposition. When label overflow occurs, the full tree is divided into several sub-trees, and nodes in each sub-tree are separately labeled. Through experiments, we show the effectiveness of our scheme.

  • Volunteer computing is a new computing paradigm that performs operations on idle resources of many nodes. The operation method of the client application for the execution of the volunteer computing is determined by the setting information of the user. Ideal operation requires optimized settings for system features and operating methods of other applications. In this paper, we analyze the usage ratio of CPU and GPU periodically, and develop a manager that dynamically applies optimized options. Through our proposed mechanism, the performance of the task computing is higher than that of the existing Volunteer Computing, and the performance interference is minimized. It is expected that volunteers will be able to provide higher computing resources for Volunteer Computing Project.

  • Purpose: This study was investigated the effects of culinary and foodservice major selection motive and work value on the major satisfaction, career search efficacy and career exploration behavior of college students. Methods: Survey comprising total 53 questions including 8 for major selection motive, 8 for work value, 6 for major satisfaction, 20 for career search efficacy, 5 for career exploration was distributed to 400 college students majoring in culinary or foodservice. Frequency analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression were conducted using SPSS Statistics (ver. 21.0). Organization of concept and analyses of the relationship between variables based on the advanced study and database is essential. Research model based on the theory and analysis of the extracted data was established; and subsequently, the proof relations between the variables were analysed. Results: The study results indicated that, only intrinsic work values among personal motivation and work values were significant. This is because personal motivation and intrinsic work values are related to subjects' aptitudes, interests, talents, and future professions when students choose their majors. Therefore, interest, abilities, achievement, high understanding, and satisfactory schooling are important factors. Conclusion: This study has newly expanded the research on career search behavior to include psychological factors and cognitive and attitudinal factors. We also determined competitive operations that enhance students' major satisfaction, career search efficiency, and career search behavior.

  • An attempt to produce more pigs in limited spaces inevitably generalized concentrated feeding operation (CFO). As concentrated pig production practice expanded, concerns on environmental issues grow concurrently. Since odor is the concerned most among those, we attempted to develop means to tackle odor emission from livestock operations. Previously, we excavated few microorganisms from pig manure and, one of them, Bacillus licheniformis was particularly useful to handle odor problem. In this study, we conducted our investigation to further characterize Bacillus licheniformis. Strain identification was conducted using Vitek 2 compact, and the optimal temperature and pH conditions to growth B. licheniformis were searched for by analyzing turbidity on O.D 600 nm. Results of this study can be summarized as these, (1) it was re-verified that the bacterial strain that purified from pig manure was, in fact, Bacillus licheniformis, (2) the bacterial growth was highest when the temperature was kept at $30^{\circ}C$, also (3) growth rate was dependent on media pH as it was high at neutral (6, 7 and 8) but dropped when it was diverged from neutral (4, 5, 9 and 10), and (4) regarding ammonia removal efficiency, B. licheniformis recorded 64% effectiveness after 48 h incubation and reached its highest (80%) at 72 h.

  • This paper presents the implementation of a EBCOT TIER-1 for JPEG2000 Encoder. JPEG2000 is new standard for the compression of still image for overcome the artifact of JPEG. JPEG2000 standard is based on DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) and EBCOT Entropy coding technology. EBCOT(Embedded block coding with optimized truncation) is the most important technology that is compressed the image data in the JPEG2000. However, EBCOT has the artifact because the operations are bit-level processing and occupy the harf of the computation time of JPEG2000 Compression. Therefore, in this paper, we present modified context extraction method for enhance EBCOT computational efficiency and implemented MQ- Coder as arithmetic coder. The proposed system is implemented by Verilog-HDL, under the condition of TSMC 0.25um ASIC library, gate counts are 30,511EA and satisfied the 50MHz operating condition.
