In this paper, we propose a partial product addition method using variable groups in the design of operators such as multipliers and digital filters. By this method, full adders can be replaced with simple logic circuits. To show the efficiency of the proposed method, we applied the method to the design of squarers and precomputer blocks of FIR filters. In case of 7 bit and 8 bit squarers, it is shown that by the proposed method, area, power and delay time can be reduced up to {22.1%, 20.1%, 14%} and {24.7%, 24.4%, 6.7%}, respectively, compared with the conventional method. The proposed FIR precomputer circuit leads to up to {63.6%, 34.4%, 9.8%} reduction in area, power consumption and propagation delay compared with previous method.

This paper describes the 8-error-correction (204, 188) Reed-Solomon Decode. over GF(2$^{8}$ ) for a satellite communication. It is synthsized using a CMOS library. Decoding algorithm of Reed-Solomon codes consists of four steps which are to compute syndromes, to find error-location polynomial, to decide error-location, and to slove error-values. The decoder is designed using Modified Euclid algorithm in this paper. First of all, The functionalities of the circuit are verified through C++ programs, and then it is designed in Verilog HDL. It is verified through the logic simulations of each blocks. Finally, The Reed-Solomon Decoder is synthesized with Synopsys Tool.

A large number of lithium-ion batteries are arranged in series and parallel in battery packs, such as those in electric vehicles or energy storage systems. As battery packs age, their output power and energy density drop because of voltage deviation, constant and non-uniform exposure to abnormal environments, and increased contact resistance between batteries; this reduces application system efficiency. Despite the balancing circuit and logic of the battery management system, the output of the battery pack is concentrated in the most severely aged unit cell and the output is frequently limited by power derating. In this study, we implemented a cell imbalance detection algorithm and selected parameters to detect a sudden decrease in battery pack output. In addition, we propose a method to increase efficiency by applying the measured testing values considering the operating conditions and abnormal conditions of the battery pack.

The sensorless scheme for Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) drives must have the robustness and reliability because the noise and error are sensitive. These elements make electrically noisy environments due to the proximity of high current power circuits with small signal electronic circuits when SRM drives. Also, due to the leakage inductances and finite coupling capacitances, these can cause the noise on any low voltage current and voltage measurement circuit. The position estimate error occurs because the current and voltage including the noise are sued as the inputs of sensorless algorithm. In this paper the high robustness and resistance of input noise re described. The fuzzy logic based rotor estimation algorithm and the observer model are used to reduce the tolerance of input data.

In this paper, we implemented a serious game system for study to accompany exercising and generating to keep on computer game side effect. The implemented serious game system was divided into the game part and the athletic part. The athletic part for whole body exercising was composed of health bicycle for lower body exercise and additional apparatus for upper body exercise, that was attached to the rear side of health bicycle and several generator was attached to the power point of athletic part. The circuit board and logic program was composed to adjust the exercise strength control, to get data and to communicate with the computer. The game part was composed to promote and educational effectiveness, the whole system emphasized on amusement side while avoided violence side. We confirmed the effect of the serious game system with the fourteen fun form which Garneau insists.

The performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell was decreased by reverse voltage using fuel starvation. Performance decrease in local area could be affected by duration and extent of reverse voltage. Hydrogen and air stoichiometic ratio was used to find the experimental condition of abrupt voltage decrease. LabVIEW was used to make control logic of automatic load off system in preset voltage. Reverse voltage experiment was done down to -1.2 V at constant current condition. When fuel cell voltage was reached to preset voltage, electronic load was disconnected to make open circuit voltage for 1 minute. Fuel cell performance was checked every 5 cycle and the degree of performance decrease and/or recovery was estimated. Ohmic resistance and charge transfer resistance were increased and platinum surface area was reduced 41% after reverse voltage experiment.

This paper deals with a method for extracting picture signals from CD graphics with a conventional CD player, schemes for designing circuits for the effective extraction of control signals, and the implementation of such circuits using commercially available logic components, thereby achieving cost-effectiveness. This paper also presents an implementation and evaluation of the CD-G system, which requires extracting picture signals, deinterleaving the extracted signals and analyzing control commands and displaying them on a screen. The CD-G system implemented using the extraction circuit presented herein has been observed to operate well in real time.

Sensor networks are an emerging area of mobile computing. Networked sensors represent a new design paradigm enabled by advances in micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and low power technology. Created with integrated circuit (IC) technology and combined with computational logic, these 'smart' sensors have the benefit of small size, low cost and power consumption, and, the capability to perform on-board computation. Though this recent technological innovation has shown a significant promise in many application domains, it has also exposed several technical limitations that must be improved. In this paper, we discuss the system deploy issues for infrared thermo sensor camera calibration.

This paper presents the methodolog~- to improve the computatIon efficiency of the simulation by developing the concept of the dynamic preservatIon and reurilization of the state transitions. The computation COst is emormous for the simulation of hardware described in hardware description languages including VHDL Analyzing the process of simulation precisely, we have found that the number of the pattems for the state transition is limited if the sizes of hardware modules are determined properly. The pattems are preserved dynamically when they appeared first, and are utilized in later simulation in order to reduce the simulation costs. In this study, the efficiency of the present method was verified using case studies for the simulation.

We developed an improved 3-PM liquid scintillation counting (3-PM LSC) method in which three detectors can be displaced to back and forth directions, and a data acquisition system being able to provide the values for all parameters required for the method. The detectors are entirely located in a 20-mm lead chamber of an inner diameter of 500 mm. A saw-toothed gear ties up all detectors so as to move them uniformly, up to 50 mm with unit of 1 mm. The data acquisition system was designed in an integrated circuit to perform the necessary works such as fast amplification, discrimination, coincidence and logic analysis. It generates values of nine parameters among twelve's generated in the 3-PH LSC method. The dead time of each counting channel is of extending type, valving from 10 to 100 $mutextrm{s}$. We measured the TDCR values with an unquenched liquid scintillation source 1"C by displacing the detectors with a step of 2.5 mm away from counting vial. Their values were derived on the range from 0.9 to 0.6. The extent is three times wider than those regions observed by applying the defocalization technique.ique.
