Dual-gate PCRAM which unify capacitor-less DRAM and NVM using a PCM instead of a typical SONOS flash memory is proposed as 1 transistor. $VO_2$ changes its phase between insulator and metal states by temperature and field. The front-gate and back-gate control NVM and DRAM, respectively. The feasibility of URAM is investigated through simulation using c-interpreter and finite element analysis. Threshold voltage of NVM is 0.5 V that is based on measured results from previous fabricated 1TPCM with $VO_2$. Current sensing margin of DRAM is 3 ${\mu}A$. PCM does not interfere with DRAM in the memory characteristics unlike SONOS NVM. This novel unified dual-gate PCRAM reported in this work has 1 transistor, a low RESET/SET voltage, a fast write/erase time and a small cell so that it could be suitable for future production of URAM.

A top priority in the design of underwater vehicle is to guarantee the dependability of the electric system because failure of the electrical power supply system is directly related to the life of the passengers. In this paper, we present four kinds of alternative designs to improve reliability of electrical system in underwater vehicle. To reduce the risk and to increase availability of the electrical system, we use the redundancy of the grid structure and power converter. For all design alternatives, we carry out Fault Tree Analysis. Based on the FTA result, we implement RAM simulation to compare the risk and availability for the proposed design alternatives.

This study conducted a risk assessment using the HyKoRAM program created by international joint research. Risk assessment was conducted based on accident scenarios and worst-case scenarios that could occur in the facility, reflecting design specifications of major facilities and components such as compressors, storage tanks, and hydrogen pipes in the hydrogen charging station, and environmental conditions around the demonstration complex. By identifying potential risks of hydrogen charging stations, we are going to derive the worst leakage, fire, explosion, and accident scenarios that can occur in hydrogen storage tanks, treatment facilities, storage facilities, and analyze the possibility of accidents and the effects of damage on human bodies and surrounding facilities to review safety.

NVRAM(Non-volatile RAM)이란 전원을 공급하지 않아도 데이터를 유지할 수 있는 RAM 이다. 비휘발성 메모리이기 때문에 Flash 와 동일한 기능을 제공할 수 있다. 또한 Flash 에 비해 저전력으로 동작하고, 읽고 쓰는 동작도 더 빠르며 내구성까지 뛰어나다. 즉, NVRAM 은 리소스가 제한적인 사물인터넷(IoT) 장치에서 Flash 를 대신하여 전력소모 및 지연시간 측면에서 효과적으로 사용될 수 있는 메모리이다. IoT 장치는 일반적으로 배터리와 같은 독립전원 장치로 작동하거나, 최근에는 에너지 하베스터를 활용한 간헐적 컴퓨팅 방식도 활용되고 있다. 간헐적 컴퓨팅 방식에서는 전원이 꺼졌을 때도 프로그램의 상태를 유지하기 위해 비휘발성 메모리에 백업동작이 필수적이다. 그러므로 백업을 위한 메모리를 Flash 가 아닌 NVRAM 으로 대체하게 되면 효율적이고, 상대적으로 백업 및 복구에 의한 비휘발성 메모리에 접근이 많은 간헐적 컴퓨팅에서는 더 큰 효율을 볼 수 있다. 하지만 현재 NVRAM 이 내장된 개발보드가 제한적이고, NVRAM 을 외부 모듈로서 사용하기 위해 SPI 또는 I2C 통신을 사용해야 한다. 그 외에도 동시에 공유 메모리에 접근하는 등의 문제를 막아야 한다. 이러한 문제를 막고, NVRAM 을 편리하게 사용할 수 있도록 추상화 계층을 만들어 NVRAM 테스팅 환경을 제공하여 해당 분야의 연구개발을 가속화할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 NVRAM 의 한 종류인 FRAM 을 사용하여 추상화 계층을 구현하였다.

SSDs are one of the best media to support portable and desktop computers' storage devices. Their features include non-volatility, low power consumption, and fast access time for read operations, which are sufficient to present flash memories as major database storage components for desktop and server computers. However, we need to improve traditional index management schemes based on B-Tree due to the relatively slow characteristics of flash memory operations, as compared to RAM memory. In order to achieve this goal, we propose a new index management scheme based on a compressed hot-cold clustering called CHC-Tree. CHC-Tree-based index management improves index operation performance by dividing index nodes into hot or cold segments and compressing pointers and keys in the index nodes and clustering the hot or cold segments. The offset compression techniques using unused free area in cold index node lead to reduce the number of slow erase operations in index node insert/delete processes. Simulation results show that our scheme significantly reduces the write and erase operation overheads, improving the index search performance of B-Tree by up to 26 percent, and the index update performance by up to 23 percent.

Described in this paper is a design of hardware accelerator for implementing public-key cryptographic protocols (PKCPs) based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and RSA. It supports five elliptic curves (ECs) over GF(p) and three key lengths of RSA that are defined by NIST standard. It was designed to support four point operations over ECs and six modular arithmetic operations, making it suitable for hardware implementation of ECC- and RSA-based PKCPs. In order to achieve small-area implementation, a finite field arithmetic circuit was designed with 32-bit data-path, and it adopted word-based Montgomery multiplication algorithm, the Jacobian coordinate system for EC point operations, and the Fermat's little theorem for modular multiplicative inverse. The hardware operation was verified with FPGA device by implementing EC-DH key exchange protocol and RSA operations. It occupied 20,800 gate equivalents and 28 kbits of RAM at 50 MHz clock frequency with 180-nm CMOS cell library, and 1,503 slices and 2 BRAMs in Virtex-5 FPGA device.

This paper proposes a ray-based forward modeling scheme which is suitable for the shallow water acoustic wave propagation simulations. The proposed model comprises of ray tracings for the layered media of which sound speed profiles are interpolated linearly. considerations of plane and spherical wave reflection coefficients. and calculations of the phases and the amplitudes of eigen rays. The main characteristic of the scheme is fast simulation time due to direct calculation of the broad-band time signals in the time-domain, i.e. without transformation of the frequency-domain solutions to the time si 밍 131s. Finally, we applied the model to 4-types of test environments and compared the resulting signals with those of ORCA and Ram in order to validate the proposed model.

General framework for proximal point algorithms based on the notion of (A, ${\eta}$)-maximal monotonicity (also referred to as (A, ${\eta}$)-monotonicity in literature) is developed. Linear convergence analysis for this class of algorithms to the context of solving a general class of nonlinear variational inclusion problems is successfully achieved along with some results on the generalized resolvent corresponding to (A, ${\eta}$)-monotonicity. The obtained results generalize and unify a wide range of investigations readily available in literature.
