In this paper, the electro-chemical-machining characteristics of Ni-Ti Shape Memory Alloy(SMA) was investigated. From the experimental results, the optimal electro chemical machining conditions for satisfying the machining quality(fine surface & high recovery stress)might be confirmed. And it was concluded that optical electro chemical condition for Ni-Ti SMA could be obtained at approximately 100% current efficiency and high frequency pulse current.

When we design the control system used Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) by Sequential Function Chart(SFC), if we use a SFC, it is easy to know the sequential flow of control, to maintenance the controller and to describe a program. We program a SFC by a unique sequence, an alternative sequence and a parallel sequence. If we program a SFC by a alternative sequence, the memory size of a alternative sequence must be larger than the memory size of a unique sequence. Therefore this thesis show an efficient method to reduce a memory size and we confirmed its feasibility through actual example.

Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) is the most widely utilized and plays an important role in industrial control system. Sequential Function Chart(SFC) is a graphic language which is suitable for describing a sequential control logic in discrete control system. We can design a distribute control construction and a hierarchical control construction in process control system described by SFC. In hierarchical control structure, we construct each subsystems to synchronize a synchronous signal between subsystems, and the command system gives and takes a synchronous signal with subsystems. Therefore, the system has a low memory efficiency and a low system performance. In this paper, we propose the method that improved the efficiency of memory in hierarchical control construction, and confirm its feasibility through an actual example.

IP address lookup is a function to determine nexthop for a given destination IP address. It takes an important role in modern routers because of its computation time and increasing Internet traffic. TCAM-based IP lookup approaches can exploit the capability of parallel searching but have a limitation of its size due to latency, power consumption, updatability, and cost. On the other hand, multibit trie-based approaches use SRAM which has relatively low power consumption and cost. They reduce the number of memory accesses required for each lookup, but it still needs several accesses. Moreover, the memory efficiency and updatability are proportional to the number of memory accesses. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture using an Indexed Multibit Trie (IMT) which is based on combined TCAM and SRAM. In the proposed architecture, each lookup takes at most two memory accesses. We present how the IMT is constructed so as to be memory-efficient and fast updatable. Experiment results with real-world forwarding tables show that our scheme achieves good memory efficiency as well as fast updatability.

As IoT devices become more common in the public sphere, the energy efficiency of embedded systems becomes a problem of major interest in addition to the system performance. Energy efficiency is important for portable embedded systems because they obtain power from their battery, and a low energy efficiency will result in a low usage time while a high energy efficiency will allow for longer usage time. In this paper, we propose a memory usage based frequency selection method to improve the energy efficiency of embedded Linux systems by using devfreq to select the device's system frequency. In our experiments, we found that the proposed method reduces energy consumption in an embedded device by up to 18%.

In this paper, an efficient storage reclamation algorithm for RISC parallel processing in the object orented programming environments is presented. The memory management for the dynamic memory allocation and the frequent memory access in object oriented programming is the main factor that decreases RISC parallel processing performance. The proposed algorithm can be efficiently allocated the memory space of RISCy computer which is required the frequent memory access, so it can be increased RISC parallel processing performance. The proposed algorithm is verified the efficiency by implementing C language on SUN SPARC(4.3 BSD UNIX).

Nonvolatile memories in memory hierarchy have been investigated to reduce its energy consumption because nonvolatile memories consume zero leakage power in memory cells. One of the difficulties is, however, that the endurance of most nonvolatile memory technologies is much shorter than the conventional SRAM and DRAM technology. This has limited its usage to only the low levels of a memory hierarchy, e.g., disks, that is far from the CPU. In this paper, we study the use of a new type of nonvolatile memories - the Phase Change Memory (PCM) with a DRAM buffer system as the main memory. Our design reduced the total energy of a DRAM main memory of the same capacity by 80%. These results indicate that it is feasible to use PCM technology in place of DRAM in the main memory for better energy efficiency.

This study was performed to investigate the electro-chemical-machining (ECM) characteristic of Ni-Ti Shape Memory Alloy (SMA). From the experimental results, we could gain optimal electro-chemical conditions to bound with lesser machining effect and better surface roughness than any other machining methods to workpiece at the same time. At these conditions, current efficiency was, for especially ECM working of Ni-Ti SMA, approximately 100% and high frequency pulse current was detected.

The electro-thermal erasing (ETE) configuration utilizes Joule heating intentionally generated at word-line (WL). The elevated temperature by heat physically removes stored electrons permanently within a very short time. Though the ETE configuration is a promising next generation NAND flash memory candidate, a consideration of power efficiency and erasing speed with respect to device structure and its scaling has not yet been demonstrated. In this context, based on 3-dimensional (3-D) thermal simulations, this paper discusses the impact of device structure and scaling on ETE efficiency. The results are used to produce guidelines for ETEs that will have lower power consumption and faster speed.

The low electric power and high efficiency chips are required because of the appearance of smart phones. Also, high-capacity memory chips are needed. e-MMC(embedded Multi-Media Card) for this is defined by JEDEC(Joint Electron Device Engineering Council). The e-MMC memory for research and development is a memory mulit-chip module of 64GB using 16-multilayers of 4GB NAND-flash memory. And it has simplified the chip by using SIP technique. But mulit-chip module generates high heat by higher integration. According to the result of study, whenever semiconductor chip is about 10 $^{\circ}C$ higher than the design temperature it makes the life of the chip shorten more than 50%. Therefore, it is required that we solve the problem of heating value and make the efficiency of e-MMC improved. In this study, geometry of 16-multilayered structure is compared the temperature distribution of four different geometries along the numerical analysis. As a result, it is con finned that a multilayer structure of stair type is more efficient than a multilayer structure of vertical type because a multi-layer structure of stair type is about 9 $^{\circ}C$ lower than a multilayer structure of vertical type.
