본 논문에서는 의료용 in-body WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) 시스템을 위한 GM (Group Manchester code) 변조 방식을 제안한다. 현재 IEEE에서는 WBAN 시스템을 802.15. TG (Task Group) 6로 지정하고 이에 관한 표준화를 진행하고 있다. 높은 전력 효율이 요구되는 WBAN 시스템을 위해 최근 표준화 그룹에서는 PPM(Pulse Position Modulation) 신호 간의 grouping을 통하여 전송률 이득을 얻을 수 있는 GPPM (Group Pulse Position Modulation) 변조 방식이 제안된 바 있으나, 기존 GPPM 방식은 복조 과정의 SNR 손실 및 gray coding의 부재로 인한 BER 성능 열화가 나타나는 단점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PPM 보다 잡음 성능이 우수한 Manchester code를 기반으로, GM 방식의 BER 성능 최대화를 위한 복조 방식 및 turbo coded GM을 위한 LLR (Log Likelihood Ratio) 판정 방식을 제안하였으며, 다양한 성능 2 분석을 통해 제안된 방식의 우수성을 입증하였다.

Microcontrollers (MCUs) for endpoint smart sensor devices of internet-of-thing (IoT) are being implemented as system-on-chip (SoC) with on-chip instruction flash memory, in which user firmware is embedded. MCUs directly fetch binary code-based instructions through bit-line sense amplifier (S/A) integrated with on-chip flash memory. The S/A compares bit cell current with reference current to identify which data are programmed. The S/A in reading '0' (erased) cell data consumes a large sink current, which is greater than off-current for '1' (programmed) cell data. The main motivation of our approach is to reduce the number of accesses of erased cells by binary code level transformation. This paper proposes a built-in write/read path architecture using binary code inversion method based on hot-spot region detection of instruction code access to reduce sensing current in S/A. From the profiling result of instruction access patterns, hot-spot region of an original compiled binary code is conditionally inverted with the proposed bit-inversion techniques. The de-inversion hardware only consumes small logic current instead of analog sink current in S/A and it is integrated with the conventional S/A to restore original binary instructions. The proposed techniques are applied to the fully-custom designed MCU with ARM Cortex-M0$^{TM}$ using 0.18um Magnachip Flash-embedded CMOS process and the benefits in terms of power consumption reduction are evaluated for Dhrystone$^{TM}$ benchmark. The profiling environment of instruction code executions is implemented by extending commercial ARM KEIL$^{TM}$ MDK (MCU Development Kit) with our custom-designed access analyzer.

본 연구에서는 반응성 이온빔을 low-angle forward reflection으로 생성시킨 중성빔을 이용하여 Aspect Ratio Dependent Etching (ARDE) 현상이 제거되는 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. SF6 가스를 사용하여 Inductively Coupled Plasma system과 이온빔으로 각각 poly-Si 을 식각한 결과 ARDE 현상을 관찰할 수 있었으며, Si 기판위에 증착된 Poly-Si을 식각하는 것보다 $SiO_2$ 기판 위에 증착된 Poly-Si을 식각하는 것이 ARDE 현상이 더 많이 나타난다는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 반면에 같은 공정 조건에서 중성빔으로 poly-Si을 식각한 결과 이러한 ARDE 현상이 효과적으로 제거되었음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 중성빔을 이용하여 ARDE 현상이 제거되는 원리는 2 차원의 XOOPIC code 와 TRIM code를 사용하여 여러가지 나노스케일의 형상을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션하여 증명하였다.

Background: Nuclear reactors produce a great number of antielectron neutrinos mainly from beta-decay chains of fission products. Such neutrinos have energies mostly in MeV range. We are interested in neutrinos in a region of keV, since they may take part in special weak interactions. We calculate reactor antineutrino spectra especially in the low energy region. In this work we present neutrino spectrum from a typical pressurized water reactor (PWR) reactor core. Materials and Methods: To calculate neutrino spectra, we need information about all generated nuclides that emit neutrinos. They are mainly fission fragments, reaction products and trans-uranium nuclides that undergo negative beta decay. Information in relation to trans-uranium nuclide compositions and its evolution in time (burn-up process) were provided by a reactor code MVP-BURN. We used typical PWR parameter input for MVP-BURN code and assumed the reactor to be operated continuously for 1 year (12 months) in a steady thermal power (3.4 GWth). The PWR has three fuel compositions of 2.0, 3.5 and 4.1 wt% $^{235}U$ contents. For preliminary calculation we adopted a standard burn-up chain model provided by MVP-BURN. The chain model treated 21 heavy nuclides and 50 fission products. The MVB-BURN code utilized JENDL 3.3 as nuclear data library. Results and Discussion: We confirm that the antielectron neutrino flux in the low energy region increases with burn-up of nuclear fuel. The antielectron-neutrino spectrum in low energy region is influenced by beta emitter nuclides with low Q value in beta decay (e.g. $^{241}Pu$) which is influenced by burp-up level: Low energy antielectron-neutrino spectra or emission rates increase when beta emitters with low Q value in beta decay accumulate Conclusion: Our result shows the flux of low energy reactor neutrinos increases with burn-up of nuclear fuel.

An experimental investigation to study the behavior of low rise structural walls using high strength concrete is presented. The test parameter included in the study were the level of constant axial load. The shear strength of walls is predicted by the design provision given in the current the American Concrete Institute Building Code ACI 318-95 and Architectural Institute Japan Code AIJ. The predictions are compared with the test results reported herein as well as those available in the literature.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive encoding method of fixed codebook in CELP coders and implement an adaptive fixed code exited linear prediction(AF-CELP) speech coder. AF-CELP exploits the fact that the fixed codebook contribution to speech signal is also periodic like the adaptive codebook (or pitch filter) contribution. By modeling the fixed code book with the pitch lag and the gain from the adaptive codebook, AF-CELP can be implemented at low bit rates as well as low complexity. Listening tests show that a 6.4 kbit/s AF-CELP has a comparable quality to the 8 kbit/s CS-ACELP in background noise conditions.

In this study, the property against low velocity of the compesite material, which will be applied a rail vehicle, is shown using experiment and a finite element code. The property can be denoted the resistance of impact force, which is defined by maximum impact force over damage area. A damage propagation model is necessary to estimate accurately the impact property of a composite material through FEM code.

랜덤하게 생성된 LDPC 부호의 경우 부호화기의 복잡도가 크기 때문에 효과적인 부호화를 위하여 구조적인 설계를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 부호화기를 위해 기존에 제안된 eIRA 부호에 순환 행렬의 구조를 적용한 부호화기 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 순환 행렬 구조는 쉬프트 레지스터를 사용하여 부호화기를 구성할 수 있으며, 순환 행렬의 사용으로 인한 성능 저하를 방지하기 위해 치환 행렬 구조에 해당하는 인터리버를 사용하였다. 제안된 부호는 LDPC 부호화기의 복잡도는 낮추면서도 기존의 부호화기의 성능과 유사한 성능을 보인다.

In general, the function of intake structure, whether it be a open channel, a fully wetted tunnel, a sump or a tank, is to supply an evenly distributed flow to a pump station. An even distribution of flow, characterized by strong local flow, can result in formation of surface or submerged vortices, and with certain low values of submergence, may introduce air into pump, causing a reduction of capacity and efficiency, an increase in vibration and additional noise. Unfortunately in order to design the sump station, the reasonable code or the standards weren't presented yet in Korea. Thus, some researchers had often referred the HI code, JSME code or CEN code to design the sump station. This study aims to prescribe the standard of sump design which were matched well the Korean pump station. Thus, the HI code and TSJ code would be interpreted fully to Korean language, the part of interpreted clauses of the western codes would be selected to compose the standard.

The operating system for IoT should have a small memory footprint and provide low power state, real-time, multitasking, various network protocols, and security. Although the Zephyr kernel, an operating system for IoT, released by the Linux Foundation in February 2016, has these features but errors generated by the user code can generate fatal problems in the system because the Zephyr kernel adopts a single-space method that both the user code and kernel code execute in the same space. In this research, we propose a space separation method, which separates kernel space and user space, to solve this problem. The space separation that we propose consists of three modifications in Zephyr kernel. The first is the code separation that kernel code and user code execute in each space while using different stacks. The second is the kernel space protection that generates an exception by using the MPU (Memory Protection Unit) when the user code accesses the kernel space. The third is the SVC based system call that executes the system call using the SVC instruction that generates the exception. In this research, we implemented the space separation in Zephyr v1.8.0 and evaluated safety through abnormal execution of the user code. As the result, the kernel was not crashed by the errors generated by the user code and was normally executed.
