최근 휴대용 임베디드(Embedded) 시스템들은 크기는 작아지나 사용자들의 요구를 만족시키기 위해서 여러 가지 복합적인 기능을 내장하고 있다. 복합적인 기능 수행을 하기 위해서는 처리 능력이 뛰어난 프로세서들을 사용해야만 하고 시스템의 크기를 줄이기 위해서 적은 용량의 배터리를 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러므로 시스템을 한번 충전한 후에 사용할 수 있는 배터리 사용 시간(Battery Life Time)은 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 시스템의 배터리 사용 시간을 늘리기 위해서는 효율적인 전원 설계, 기능 수행에 따른 전력 관리 그리고 프로세서의 전압과 프로세서 클럭(Clock)의 주파수를 최적화하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 전력 효율을 예측하여 시스템의 전체적인 전력 효율을 최적화하는 전원 구성을 하였으며 각 기능에 따른 전력 관리를 위해서 음악 파일 재생과 동영상 파일 재생을 위한 마이크로 프로세서를 사용하고 디지털 멀티미디어 방송(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 시청을 위한 별도의 마이크로 프로세서를 사용함으로써 음악 재생과 동영상 재생 시에는 디지털 멀티미디어 방송시청을 위한 마이크로 프로세서에 전원 공급을 차단함으로써 전력 관리를 최적화한다. 마지막으로 시스템에서 사용되는 프로세서들의 전력 관리를 위해 가변 전압 주파수 스케일링(Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling)을 적용하여 프로세서들 또한 최적화하고 실제 구현된 시스템에 실험 결과들을 통하여 감소된 소비 전력의 결과를 보여준다.

해수의 유속과 전기 부하에 따른 쉬라우드 조류발전 시스템의 유동장 특성과 발전 성능 분석을 위하여 회류수조를 이용한 축소모형실험을 수행하였다. 발전기에 연결되는 전기 부하에 대하여 터빈 블레이드의 분당 회전수와 발전기의 전압, 전류를 동시에 측정하여 전기적 출력을 계산하였으며 일정한 유속 조건에서 부하에 따라 큰 차이가 나타났다. 전기 부하가 감소함에 따라 터빈의 분당 회전수는 특정 구간에서 급격히 증가하였고, 평균 약 2배 정도 증가하였다. 또한 부하의 감소와 함께 전력이 급격히 상승하였고, 일정 구간에서 최대 전력지점을 보인 후 낮아지게 된다. 이와 함께 실험 유속이 증가함에 따라 높은 전기 부하에서 최대 전력지점이 나타났다. 이러한 유속 조건과 전기적 부하에 따른 쉬라우드 조류발전 시스템의 유동장 특성과 발전 성능 분석에 대한 결과는 효율적인 쉬라우드 조류발전 시스템 개발에 필요한 기초 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Because of steep rise of international energy cost in recent years high efficiency has been emphasized in energy policy. As far as injection molding machine is concerned, hybrid method using hydraulic and electric systems became the key to this energy saving. the energy saving and molding reproducibility of hybrid injection molding process were shown experimentally, power consumption of hybrid machine is 38% as compared with that of hydraulic machine. Furthermore, the molding reproducibility showed between two methods.

The turnout point system is installed to separate the main rail track from other tracks in rail load stations. It is also important to set up the switch point system to change the direction of the turnout point, to lead and change the direction of tracks. The switch point system can be negatively affected by heavy snow during winter seasons which can cause critical safety problems. Furthermore, the maintenance and repair of the conventional system is prohibitively expensive due to its complexity and high probability of failure. In this paper, an efficient switch point system is proposed which simplifies the equipment structure and lowers the cost for maintenance and repair, while improving safety and performance of the rail road system.

Aerodynamic characteristics of crescent and D-shape bundled conductors were measured by high frequency force balance technique in the wind tunnel. The drag and lift coefficients of each sub-conductor and the whole bundled conductors were presented under various attack angles of wind. The galloping possibility of bundled conductors is discussed based on the Den Hartog criterion. The influence of icing thickness, initial ice accretion angle and sub-conductor on the aerodynamic properties were investigated. Based on the measured aerodynamic force coefficients, a computationally efficient finite element method is also implemented to analyze galloping of iced bundled conductors. The analysis results show that each sub-conductor of the bundled conductor has its own galloping feature due to the use of aerodynamic forces measured separately for every single sub-conductors.

This paper investigated a method for classifying emotional states by using pulse wave signal. It focused on finding effective features for emotional state classification. The emptional states considered here consisted of interest and neutral. Classification experiments utilized 65 and 60 samples of interest and neutral states respectively. We have investigated 19 features derived from pulse wave signals by using both time domain and frequency domain analysis methods with 2 classifiers of minimum distance (normalized Euclidean distanece) and ${\kappa}$-Nearest Neighbour. The Leave-one-out cross validation was used as an evaluation mehtod. Based on experimental results, the most efficient features were a combination of 4 features consisting of (i) the mean of the first differences of the smoothed pulse rate time series signal, (ii) the mean of absolute values of the second differences of thel normalized interbeat intervals, (iii) the root mean square successive difference, and (iv) the power in high frequency range in normalized unit, which provided 80.8% average accuracy with ${\kappa}$-Nearest Neighbour classifier.

The rotor flux level need be changed frequently for field weakening or power efficiency control. Motor inductances depend on rotor flux but not on machine temperature. On the other hand, rotor resistance varies greatly with the machine temperature. Motor parameters such a sinductances and rotor resistance should be known precisely in order to attain high dynamic performance of inductin motor. In this paper, efficient an dnovel identification algorithms for motor inductances and rotor resistance are presented. The rotor flux is changed. As the result, the slip frequency is varied. The identificatin algorithm for rotor resistance measures the varied slip frequency and alters the estimated rotor resistance. Then, the estimated value of rotor resistance will approach its real value. The proposed identification algorithms are computationally simple and have very small identification errors.

This paper proposes the architecture of UWB OFDM communication system. More high data rate is requested in the 128-point FFT/IFFT of the UWB OFDM communication system than the conventional communication systems. So, the proposed architecture uses pipeline and parallel architecture. For a highly efficient architecture, the optimal clipping power and the input quantization bits are found in simulation. The hardware complexity of the proposed architecture is presented is consideration of Adder, Register and Complex Multiplier.

Mobile devices is getting to include more functions according to the demand of digital convergence. Applications based on 3D graphic calculation such as 3D games and navigation are one of the functions. 3D graphic calculation requires heavy calculation. Therefore, we need dedicated 3D graphic hardware unit with high performance. 3D graphic calculation needs a lot of complicated floating-point arithmetic operation. However, most of current mobile 3D graphics processors do not have efficient architecture for mobile devices because they are based on those for conventional computer systems. In this paper, we propose arithmetic units for special functions of lighting operation of 3D graphics. Transcendental arithmetic units are designed using approximation of logarithm function. Special function units for lighting operation such as reciprocal, square root, reciprocal of square root, and power can be obtained. The proposed arithmetic unit has lower error rate and smaller silicon area than conventional arithmetic architecture.
