Some GM (General Motors) vehicles are using a GMLAN (General Motors Local Area Network) communication protocol for control and diagnostics. The airbag control module uses vehicle speed information from the GMLAN to record the vehicle speed as pre-crash information. In order to use the vehicle speed information for crash reconstruction purposes, it helps to be able to understand the accuracy of the data. The actual vehicle speed is not expected to be the same as the GMLAN indicated speed in some situations like a spin or if there is hard braking. This paper compares the actual vehicle speed and vehicle speed information during specific vehicle maneuvers. Actual vehicle speed is calculated from a GPS sensor, while GMLAN vehicle speed is calculated from transmission output sensor by the Engine control module (ECM). Vehicle maneuvers defined as Mode #1, Mode #2, Mode #3. The Mode #1 maneuver simulates wheel lock-up and skidding f by hard-braking at a specific speed. The Mode #2 maneuver simulates a 90degree turn using a J-turn maneuver at a specific speed. The Mode#3 maneuver simulates a 180 degree turn using a spin type of maneuver at a specific speed. The study then compares the GMLAN speed and GPS speed to see what speed difference exists between them. The results of this paper are applicable to GM vehicles only. This paper catalogs the performance and limitations of two vehicles as useful reference for crash reconstructions where there is a need to understand the speed indicated in the pre-crash section of the SDM data.

HyGIS는 DEM 기반의 수문지형처리를 중심으로 다양한 모형을 연계할 수 있도록 구성된 S/W 모음이다. 이는 한국건설기술연구원을 비롯한 다수의 기관 및 연구원들이 노력한 성과물이다. 본 연구는 기존 HyGIS 연구과정에서 도출된 성과물의 실용화 사업화를 위한 방안을 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 S/W 테스팅, 오픈소스 도입, 클라우드 컴퓨팅으로 나누어 접근하였다. 먼저 S/W의 테스팅에 있어서 기존 개발 소스코드는 블랙박스 테스트 방식의 동등 클래스 분할, 경계 값 분석 등 일부 모듈에 대한 단위 테스트와 제한적인 통합테스트가 수행된 바 있다. 보다 체계적인 테스트 단계로서 화이트박스 테스트 개념 중 문장/분기/조건 커버리지에 대하여 검토하였으며, 실제 소스코드 중 핵심 구간에 대한 적용 및 정량화를 통하여 현 수준을 객관적으로 진단하였고 보완 방안을 도출하였다. 오픈소스 적용을 위하여 QGIS, MapWindow 등 공간정보 분야의 최신 오픈소스 모듈을 비교 검토하였다. 적용 단계는 이를 기존 HyGIS S/W에 반영시키는 과정이며, S/W 관점에서는 컴포넌트 모듈의 대체라고 표현될 수 있다. 대규모의 전환 비용이 발생되므로 적용 후보에 대하여는 기능적 측면 뿐만 아니라 마이그레이션 비용과 중장기적인 유지보수 비용을 고려한 검토가 이루어 졌다. 한편 오픈소스 기술의 적용은 단순히 구성 요소 원가절감 측면만이 아닌, 중장기적 유지보수 체계 도모 및 지속가능한 생태계로의 전환에 더 큰 의의가 있다. 마지막으로 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술의 적용 분야이다. HyGIS 입력 Data의 공급을 위한 인프라로서 자체 구축 인프라가 아닌 IaaS 클라우드인 Blob Storage 및 CDN을 시험 적용하였다. 클라우드를 활용함으로써 초기 비용을 최소화하고 합리적 비용으로 유연한 확장이 가능한(Scale Out, Scale Up) 구조를 취하게 되었다. 또한 입력 Data 공급 서버를 위한 Storage 측면만이 아니라 S/W의 배포에 있어서도 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술을 활용하고자 시도하였다. 클라우드 기술을 활용하여 HyGIS S/W가 설치된 VM(Virtual Machine)자체를 임대하는 방식으로 시험 구성 되었다. VM에 대한 RDP 프로토콜 Access에 있어서 IP기반 접근 제어를 통하여 보안을 강화하는 방안을 실험하였으며, ISO 27001, ISO 27018 등 관련 보안 규정에 부합하는 서비스 제공이 가능하도록 검토하였다. 이러한 클라우드 VM방식 서비스를 통하여 Package형 S/W 뿐만 아니라 Subscription 방식의 서비스 제공 방식을 병행할 수 있다. 사용자에게는 S/W 설치 및 H/W Lock 구비 과정이 생략되는 이점이 있다.

Purpose: This study reports on a series of patients with chronic lateral ankle instability that underwent the Brostrom procedure with suture tape augmentation and allowed early unrestricted weight-bearing in a simple stirrup brace. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 36 patients (22 males and 14 females of mean age 34 years [range 23~48 years]) with chronic lateral ankle instability treated using the Brostrom procedure using suture tape augmentation and inferior extensor retinaculum reinforcement with a fiber-wire connected to a SwiveLock screw inserted into the talus. When possible, patients started unrestricted weight-bearing in a stirrup brace from the third postoperative day. Demographics and functional outcomes, including American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot, visual analogue scale (VAS), and satisfaction scores, were recorded. In addition, varus stress radiographs obtained before and 24 months after surgery were compared. Patients were followed for a mean 29 months (range 25~40 months). Results: Mean AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores increased from 51 points preoperatively to 92 points at final follow-up, and mean VAS decreased from 6.8 to 1.2 points. Mean patient satisfaction scores were 8.7 at 12 months and 9.6 at 24 months. Stress radiographs demonstrated that talar tilt decreased from a mean 18 degrees preoperatively to 7 degrees at 24 months. Conclusion: Early unrestricted weight-bearing in a stirrup brace following the Brostrom procedure with suture tape augmentation is a successful protocol for treating chronic lateral ankle instability.

In this paper, we designed the HVIC(High Voltage Gate Driver IC) which has improved noise immunity characteristics and high driving capability. Operating frequency and input voltage range of the designed HVIC is up to 500kHz and 650V, respectively. Noise protection and schmitt trigger circuit is included in the high-side level shifter of designed IC which has very high dv/dt noise immunity characteristic(up to 50V/ns). And also, rower dissipation of high-side level shifter with designed short-pulse generation circuit decreased more that 40% compare with conventional circuit. In addition, designed HVIC includes protection and UVLO circuit to prevent cross-conduction of power switch and sense power supply voltage of driving section, respectively. Protection and UVLO circuit can improve the stability of the designed HVIC. Spectre and Pspice circuit simulator were used to verify the operating characteristics of the designed HVIC.

This study was to compare the contents and practical problems addressed, the process of teaching-learning method, and evaluation method of Korean Home Economics curriculum and of the Oregon and Ohio's Practical Problem Focused Family & Consumer Sciences Curricula. The results are as follows. First, contents of Korean curriculum are organized by major sub-concepts of Home Economics academic discipline whereas curricular of both Oregon and Ohio states are organized by practical problems. Oregon uses the practical problems which integrate multi-subjects and Ohio uses ones which are good for the contents of the module by integrating concerns or interests which are lower or detailed level (related interests). Since it differentiates interest and module and used them based on the basic concept of Family and Consumer Science, Ohio's approach could be easier for Korean teachers and students to adopt. Second, the teaching-learning process in Korean home economics classroom is mostly teacher-centered which hinders students to develop higher order thinking skills. It is recommended to use student-centered learning activities. State of Oregon and Ohio's teaching-learning process brings up the ability of problem-solving by letting students clearly analyze practical problems proposed, solve problems by themselves through group discussions and various activities, and apply what they learn to other problems. Third, Korean evaluation system is heavily rely on summative evaluation such as written tests. It is highly recommended to facilitate various performance assessment tools. Since state of Oregon and Ohio both use practical problems, they evaluate students mainly based on their activity rather than written tests. The tools for evaluation include project documents, reports of learning activity, self-evaluation, evaluation of discussion activity, peer evaluation in a group for each students for their performance, assessment about module, and written tests as well.

This paper presents a structure of the searcher using a diversity in array antenna systems operating in the cdma2000 1x signal environments. The new technique exploits the fact that the In-phase and quadrature components of interferers can respectively be viewed as an independent gaussian noise at each antnna element in most practical cdma signal environments. The proposed PN acquisition scheme is a singles-dwell PN acquisition system consisting of two stages, that is, the searching stage and the verification stage. The searching stage independently correlates the receiver multiple signals with PN generator of each antenna element for obtaining the synchronous energy at the entire region. Then, the searching results of each antenna element are non-coherently combinind. The verification stage compares the searching energy with the optimal threshold, which is predesigned in the lock detector, and decides whether the acquisition is successful or fail. In this paper, we analyzed the effect of tile diversity order to determine the mean acquisition time. In general, it is known that the mean acquisition time significantly decrease as the number of antenna elements increases. But, as the diversity order goes up, the enhancement of the performance is saturated. Therefore, to decrease the mean acquisition time of the searcher, we must design the optimal array antenna systems by considering the operating SNR range of the receiver, the probability of detection $P_D$ and that of false alarm $P_{FA}$ . The Performance of the proposed PN acquisition scheme is analyzed in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels. In this paper, the effect of the number of antenna elements on PN acquisition scheme is shown according to the probability of detection $P_D$ and that of false alarm $P_{FA}$.

Two orthogonal joint sets develop well only in sandstone beds in the sandstone-mudstone sequences of Gumi and Dasa outcrops within Cretaceous Gyeongsang Basin. And various joint data are similar in the beds of the same thickness in both outcrops, meaning that the joint sets were homogeneously produced by extensional deformation in the same regional stress field. Most of joints in the sandstone beds are orthogonal to, and confined by bed boundaries, which are believed to be formed by hydrofracturing during consolidation after burial. Two orthogonal joint sets are considered to be almost coeval on the basis of mutual abutting relationship which makes up fracture grid-lock and a product of rapid switching of ${\sigma}_2$ and ${\sigma}_3$ axes with constant ${\sigma}_1$ direction oriented to vertical. The joint sets in the sandstone beds show planar surfaces, parallel orientations and regular spacing, with joint spacing linearly proportional to bed thickness. The spacing distributions of the joints seem to correspond to log-normal to almost normal distribution in most of the beds. But multilayer joints do not display regular spacing and dominant size. Either joint set in this study is characterized by a high level of joint density and a saturated spacing distribution as indicated by the mode/mean ratio values and the Cv(coefficient of variance) values. Joint aperture tends to increase with the vertical length of the joints controlled by bed thickness.

Journaling file systems (JFS) manage changes of file systems not yet committed in a data structure known as a journal to restore the file system in the event of an unexpected failure. Extra write operations required for journaling negatively affect the performance of JFS. The high-performance and byte-addressable non-volatile memory (NVM) was expected to easily mitigate these performance problems by providing NVM space as journal storage. However, even with such non-volatile memory technologies, performance problems still arise due to scalability problems inherent in processing transactions of JFS. To solve this problem, we proposes a technique for processing file system transactions for scalable performance. To this end, lock-free data structures are used and multiple I/O requests are allowed to simultaneously be processed on high-performance storage devices with multiple I/O channels. We evaluate the file system with the proposed technique by comparing the original ext4 file system and the recent proposed NVM-based journaling file system on a multi-core server, and experimental results show that our file system has better performance (up-to 2.9/2.3 times) than the original ext4 file system and the recent NVM-based journaling file system, respectively.
