  • The in-situ TEM irradiation experiments of zirconium alloy were conducted at 573 K, 673 K, and 773 K utilizing a 400 keV Kr + single beam and a 400 keV Kr+ and 30 keV He + dual beam. The results show that a large number of dislocation loops have been characterized in the matrix of the zirconium alloy under irradiation. With increasing the irradiation damage dose, some dislocation loops have reacted with one another to form a larger dislocation loop, which has finally formed dislocation lines or other defect structures. In zirconium alloys irradiated with Kr + single beam and Kr+ and He + dual-beam radiation, the proportion of <a> type dislocation loops with different Burgers vectors is essentially the same at low damage doses, but the proportion of interstitial type dislocation loops with the same Burgers vectors is obviously different. The amorphization of the second phase and the dissolution of the small-sized second phase were also pointed out. With the increase in temperature, the density of the dislocation loop in zirconium alloy gradually decreases, and the size of dislocation loop first increases and then decreases. Kr+ and He + dual beam irradiation increases the size of dislocation loops but decreases their density as compared with Kr + single beam irradiation.

  • In this paper, Human-in-the-Loop (HiTL) simulations of Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) operations in two different Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts, conventional radar vectoring and Trajectory Based Operations (TBO), were performed to assess the impacts of RPAS integration in the future ATM environment. TBO concept maximizes the throughput by planning and sharing 4-D trajectories between pilots and controllers, and it is considered one of the key concepts to enable RPASs to operate with manned aircraft in congested airspaces. RPASs are characterized by having communication delay or temporary loss of communication. TBO capability was added to the integrated air traffic simulation system for this study, which was developed in the Inha University. HiTL simulations were performed by a trainee air traffic controller with three scenarios, and the data were analyzed using safety, efficiency, and controller workload metrics. The results suggest that TBO were effective in reducing delays and controller workload while maintaining the level of safety.

  • An Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS) with a unidirectional loop guide path is modeled as a discrete-time stationary Markov chain. It is discussed how to estimate the mean response time, the utilization, and the cycle time of AGV for a delivery order. Three common operation strategies for idle vehicles - central zone positioning rule, circulatory loop positioning rule and point of release positioning rule - are analyzed. These different operation strategies are compared with each other based on the performance measures.

  • In a database system, the most expensive operation among relational operations is a join operation. Generally, CPU-based join operations uses parallel processing with either 1 core or 16 cores at most, which does not significantly improve the function. On the other hand, GPGPU(General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) allows parallel processing through thousands of processing units, greatly reducing the time required to perform join operations. Parallelization of the operation using GPGPU uses NVIDIA's CUDA SDK. In this paper, we implement parallelization of the join operation using GPGPU and compare the performances. The used join operations are Nested Loop Join (NLJ), Sort Merge Join (SMJ) and Hash Join (HJ), and GPGPU equipment uses TITAN Xp, GTX 1080 Ti and GTX 1080. We measure and compare the performance of join operations based on CPU and GPGPU. We compare this performance with the performance of the previous study on the join operation based on GPGPU. The results of experiment show that the performance based on GPGPU is 6~328 times faster than the one based on CPU.

  • This paper deals with the robustness of closed-loop poles of a linear time-invariant system with uncertain parameters. A new method is presented to calculate the perturbation of a pole-located region due to parameter uncertainties. A method to calculate allowable bounds on parameter uncertainties is also presented to retain closed-loop poles in a specified region. Based on Lyapunov equations and norm operations, they provide useful measures on the robustness of closed-loop poles. An example is given to illustrate proposed methods.

  • This paper proposes an efficient loop accelerator for a motion estimation specific instruction-set processor. ME algorithms in nature contain complex and multiple loop operations. To support efficient hardware (HW) loop operations, this paper introduces four loop instructions and their specific HW architecture. The simulation results show that the proposed loop accelerator can reduce about 29% average instruction cycles for ME early-termination schemes compared with typical implementation having a combination of compare and conditional jump instructions. The proposed loop accelerator of the motion estimation specific instruction-set processor can significantly reduce the number of program memory accesses and greatly save power consumption. Hence, it can be quite suitable for low power and flexible ME implementation.

  • Spread Spectrum Communication is a core technique in CDMA system, but the problem for SS Communication schemes is synchronous method. There are DLL(Delay Lock Loop), Tau-dither Loop, SO(Synchronous Osillator) etc., in the sychronous method. But since there are analog operations, the setting is difficult and circuit size is large. In this paper we proposed Digital Delay Lock Loop (DDLL) and estimated it's performance through the experiment.
