Recent semiconductor design technology has been substantially developed that we can design a micro-system on a chip as well as implementing an application specific IC in an FPGA. SPARTAN-3E developed by Xilinx is equipped with an FPGA that holds as much as 500 thousand transistors connected with MicroBlaze softcore microprocessor bus system. In this paper, we discuss a method of implementing an embedded system using the SPARTAN-3E. We also explain the peripherals and the bus protocols and the expandability of this kind of embeded systems.

Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) technique is generally used for reducing the peak temperature (hotspot) in the microprocessors. Despite the advantages of lower cooling cost and improved stability, the DTM technique inevitably suffers from performance loss. This paper proposes the DualFloating-Point Adders Architecture to minimize the performance loss due to thermal problem when the floating-point applications are executed. During running floating-point applications, only one of two floating-point adders is used selectively in the proposed architecture, leading to reduced peak temperature in the processor. We also propose a new floorplan technique, which creates Space for Heat Transfer Delay in the processor for solving the thermal problem due to heat transfer between adjacent hot units. As a result, the peak temperature drops by $5.3^{\circ}C$ on the average (maximum $10.8^{\circ}C$ for the processor where the DTM is adopted, consequently giving a solution to the thermal problem. Moreover, the processor performance is improved by 41% on the average by reducing the stall time due to the DTM.

A modular microcomputer system based on the Intel 8080 microprocessor is designed. Each module communicate via common bus system. The different modules can be placed anywhere on the bus. Address for memory and I/O modules are determined by switch registers situated on the modules. The system is intended to be used as a base equipment for continuing study, expansion, development and for teaching students.

This paper presnts a controller for the heat capacity of thermal storage systems using off-peak electricity which is composed of an identifier using neural networks and a storage time adjuster in order to store exactly the required thermal energy without loss. Since thermal storage systems have nonlinear characteristics and large time constant, even if we predict the heating load accurately, it is very difficult to store exactly the required thermal energy. Thus, in the neural network for the identifier, the adaptive learning rate for high learning speed and bit inputs based on state changes of thermal storage power source are used. Also a hardware for the controller using a microprocessor is developed. The performance of the proposed controller is shown by experiment.

To process data of digital linescan camera, the frame grabber is essential to handle the data in low-level and in high speed more than 30 MHz stably. Traditional approaches to the development of hardware in vision system for the special purpose are mai y based on PC system, and are expensive and gigantic. Therefore, there are many difficulties in applying those in the field. So we investigate, in this paper, the implementation of FPGA for real-time processing of digital linescan camera. The system is not based on PC, but electronic device such as micropncessor. So it is expected that the use of FPGAs for low-level processing represents a fast, stable and inexpensive system. The experiments are carried out on the web guiding system in order to show the efficiency of the new image processor.

In order to design the phantom of heart, we have developed the multi-dipole current source system. Such a one be clue to the various motion of heart. The magnetocardiograph (MCG) system for diagnosing the disease of the heart due to an analysis of the heart signal. The multidipole current source system be built by microprocessor. We use the shield room to obtain a good experimental result. Then the signal acquired is mixed with a background noise, through a filtering extracts a pure signal. The pure signal such a heart phantom is analyzed by an electromagnetic map.

It is difficult to adapt modern control theory to power conversion system for the price of real time control H/W and the difficulty of S/W implementation. But recent development of large integrated circuit make it possible that One-Chip microprocessor processes high speed arithmatic calculation used in control theory. Specially this chip is called Digital Signal Processing chip. So, this research developes high performance, high reliable digital control system using TMS320C30 of Texas Instrument for real time control in power conversion system.

With the development of semiconductor devices, adaptation of microcontroller prevails in industrial area. But in arc welding industry, there has not been much progress in adoption of microcontroller technology. There fore, this paper shows the application of digital control technology to welding machine.

In this paper we designed a prototype hybrid type linear pulse motor (HLPM) with single side stator structure for low cost. The measurement system which can get the motor characteristics of the HLPM was suggested. The static and dynamic characteristics of the thrust force are measured analyzed. And the microstep drive method is adopted and tested to the drive of prototype HLPM. The thrust waveform is measured respectively to know the differences of the thrust waveform between the microstep drive method and rectangular wave. From the experimental results, it can be confirmed that the repetitive ripple of the thrust force of the prototype HLPM is reduced by taking the microstep drive method.

This paper presents an approach for the prediction of optimal heating load using a diagonal recurrent neural networks(DRNN) and data base system of outdoor temperature. In the DRNN, a dynamic backpropagation(DBP) with delta-bar-delta teaming method is used to train an optimal heating load identifier. And the data base system is utilized for outdoor temperature prediction. Compared to other kinds of methods, the proposed method gives better prediction performance of heating load. Also a hardware for the controller is developed using a microprocessor. The experimental results show that prediction enhancement for heating load can be achieved with the proposed method regardless of the its inherent nonlinearity and large time constant.
