In this paper, the FPGA-based SoC board (Xilinx Virtex-4 ML401 EVM) is adopted to control electrical power inverter system. For marine application, its performance is shown on PC-based system for monitoring electrical characteristics of a power inverter using by the NMEA 2000 protocol. This power inverter system is achieved in Real-Time monitoring and control by dual micro-processor operation on embedded FPGA-based SoC board. One micro processor is for control (Control processor) electrical power inverter using by PWM signal. And the other microprocessor (Communication processor) is for communication with PC-based monitoring system. The two-processor is communicating each other using by dual-port ram (DPRAM). PC-based system user can control and monitor information of the electrical power inverter via NMEA 2000 based communication processor. Control and monitoring information includes the inverter status and configuration. SoC board converts this information to Parameter Group Numbers (PGNs) in the NMEA 2000 protocol. This system can be applied to marine power electronics for distributed power generation, transmission or regulation systems on the ship.

This paper proposes the real time lip reading method in the embedded environment. The embedded environment has the limited sources to use compared to existing PC environment, so it is hard to drive the lip reading system with existing PC environment in the embedded environment in real time. To solve the problem, this paper suggests detection methods of lip region, feature extraction of lips, and awareness methods of phonetic words suitable to the embedded environment. First, it detects the face region by using face color information to find out the accurate lip region and then detects the exact lip region by finding the position of both eyes from the detected face region and using the geometric relations. To detect strong features of lighting variables by the changing surroundings, histogram matching, lip folding, and RASTA filter were applied, and the properties extracted by using the principal component analysis(PCA) were used for recognition. The result of the test has shown the processing speed between 1.15 and 2.35 sec. according to vocalizations in the embedded environment of CPU 806Mhz, RAM 128MB specifications and obtained 77% of recognition as 139 among 180 words were recognized.

We investigate the impact of ram pressure stripping due to the intracluster medium (ICM) on star-forming disk galaxies with a multiphase interstellar medium maintained by strong stellar feedback. We carry out radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of an isolated disk galaxy embedded in a 1011 M⦿ dark matter halo with various ICM winds mimicking the cluster outskirts (moderate) and the central environment (strong). We find that both star formation quenching and triggering occur in ram pressure-stripped galaxies, depending on the strength of the winds. HI and H2 in the outer galactic disk are significantly stripped in the presence of moderate winds, whereas turbulent pressure provides support against ram pressure in the central region, where star formation is active. Moderate ICM winds facilitate gas collapse, increasing the total star formation rates by ~40% when the wind is oriented face-on or by ~80% when it is edge-on. In contrast, strong winds rapidly blow away neutral and molecular hydrogen gas from the galaxy, suppressing star formation by a factor of 2 within ~200 Myr. Dense gas clumps with nH≳10 M⦿ pc-2 are easily identified in extraplanar regions, but no significant young stellar populations are found in such clumps. In our attempts to enhance radiative cooling by adopting a colder ICM of T=106K only a few additional stars are formed in the tail region, even if the amount of newly cooled gas increases by an order of magnitude.

We developed PC-based planning system for linear accelerator based stereotactic radiosurgery. The system was developed under Windows 95 on Pentium Pro$\^$(R) 200 ㎒ IBM PC with 128 MB RAM. It was programed using IDL$\^$(R)/ of Research Systems, Inc. as a programing tool. CT image data obtained with BRW stereotactic frame is transferred to PC through magnetoptical disk. As loading the image, the system automatically recognizes the location of rods and establishes stereotactic coordinates. It accurately calculates and corrects the coordinates, degree of tilting, and magnification rate of axial images. After the coordinates is defined we can delineate and edit the contours of target and organs of interest on axial images. Upon delineating contours of target, isocenter is determined automatically and we can set up the beam configuration for radiosurgery. The system provides beam's eye view and room's eye view for efficient confuguring of beams. The system calculates dose distribution 3-dimensionally. It takes 1 to 2 minutes to calculate dose distribution for 5 arcs. We can verify the dose distribution on serial axial images. We can analyze the dose distribution quantitatively by evaluation of dose-volume histogram of target and organ of interest. This system, PC-based radiosurgery planning system, includes the basic features for radiosurgery planning and calculates dose distribution within reasonable time for clinical application.

DVD(Digital Versatile Disk)에 관한 관심이 고조되고 있다. DVD가 현재 침체기에 있는 PC시장을 활성화시킬 수 있는 구세주로 등극할 것으로 예상되면서다. 최근 시장조사기관 IDC와 일본 파이오니어의 공동 보고서에 의하면 DVD와 관련된 홈 시어터, DVD 레코딩, 비디오 편집 분야가 PC 시장의 새로운 변수로 작용하고 있다. DVD롬 드라이브를 통한 DVD영화 시청은 물론, 직접 캠코더로 촬영한 동영상을 편집하고 DVD로 굽는 일련의 작업을 PC를 통해 수행하는 소비자들이 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있다는 얘기다. 이에 따라 관련업계의 움직임이 바빠지고 있다. 특히 DVD 관련 업체들의 DVD 표준 규격 확보를 위한 경쟁은 전쟁을 방불케하고 있다. 현재 마쓰시타, 소니, 도시바, HP, 삼성, LG 등 주요 광 드라이브 업체들이 DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+R/RW 등 각기 다른 차세대 기록형 DVD 규격을 놓고 경쟁하고 있다. 표준 규격을 거머쥐는 쪽이 향후에 전개될 차세대 DVD 시장을 주도할 것으로 예상되기 때문이다. 본 고에서는 현재 제기되고 있는 기록형 DVD 표준화 동향을 중심으로 차세대 DVD시장을 진단해본다.

We have developed the digital polysomnograph system to enhance the manual sleep study. This system is composed of host PC and target board. The host computer is IBM-PC Pentium 133 MHz and the target board is PC31 (processor type: TMS320C31). These two Processors communicate with each other by dualport RAM. Target board acquire 16 channel sleep signals from the Polysomnographic system (GRASS model 78, USA) and digitize them. We used high resolution monitor$(1600{\times}1280)$ to simulate the paper-recording quality of polysomnographic signal. We also implemented the GUI based polysomnographic staging program on the windows environment. Clinicians can score the sleep stage, and edit and mark the event efficiently. Finally it can support making patient database.

The main characteristics of PHC piles is that silica material and autoclave curing technique are used when manufacturing to have higher strength than PC piles. In this paper, pile drivability and bearing capacity characteristics of the PHC piles are studied through numerical analysis based on wave propagation theory, driving records and pile load tests in situ. It is found that we can have higher bearing capacity by using the PHC piles rather than the PC on condition that the most effective driving equipment is chosen when driving the pile. In other words, since the PHC piles have higher resistance to driving energy, the heavier ram can be used in the driving process, which results in the higher bearing capacity.

The implementation of the voice dodec is imjplemented by using TMS320C30, which is the floating point DSP chip from Texas Instrument. QCELP (Qualcomm Code Excited Linear Prediction) is used to encode and decode the voice. The QCELP code is implemented by the TMS320C30 C-dode. The DSP board is controlled by the PC. The PC program tranfors the voice file from and to the DSP board, which is also implemented by C-code. The voice is encoded by the DSP board and the encoded data is transferred to PC to be stored as a file. To hear the voice. the voice data file is sent to DSP board and decoded to synthesize audible voice. Two flags are used by both programs to notify the status of the operation. By checking the flags, DSP and PC decides when the voice data is transferred between them.
