This paper presents a new byte-wise BCH (4122, 4096, 2) decoder, which treats byte-wise parallel operations so as to enhance its throughput. In particular, we evaluate the parallel processing technique for the most time-consuming components such as syndrome generator and Chien search owing to the iterative operations. Even though a syndrome generator is based on the conventional LFSR architecture, it allows eight consecutive bit inputs in parallel and it treats them in a cycle. Thus, it can reduce the number of cycles that are needed. In addition, a Chien search eliminates the redundant operations to reduce the hardware complexity. The proposed BCH decoder is implemented with VHDL and it is verified using a Xilinx FPGA. From the simulation results, the proposed BCH decoder can enhance the throughput as 43% and it can reduce the hardware complexity as 67% compared to its counterpart employing parallel processing architecture.

본 논문은 MLC 타입 낸드 플래시 메모리의 오류 정정을 위한 병렬 BCH 복호기 설계를 제안한다. 제안된 BCH 복호기는 다중 바이트 병렬 연산을 지원한다. 병렬 계수 증가에 따른 회로 크기 증가폭을 줄이기 위해, LFSR 기반 병렬 신드롬 생성기 구조를 적용하였다. 제안된 BCH 복호기는 VHDL을 이용하여 합성되었고, Xilinx FPGA를 이용하여 동작을 검증하였다. 검증 결과 제안된 신드롬 생성기는 기존 바이트-단위의 병렬 신드롬 생성기에 비해 성능을 2.4배 증가시켰다. GFM 방식의 병렬 신드롬 생성기와 비교하여, 동작 완료에 따른 사이클 수는 동일하나, 회로 크기는 1/3 이하로 감소됨을 확인하였다.

Purpose: Nowadays spinal cord stimulator is frequently used for the patients diagnosed as complex regional pain syndrome. The lead is placed above the spinal cord and connected to the stimulation generator, which is mostly placed in the subcutaneous layer of the abdomen. When the complication occurs in the generator inserted site, such as infection or generator exposure, replacement of the new generator to another site or pocket of the abdomen would be the classical choice. The objective of our study is to present our experience of the effective replacement of the existing stimulation generator from subcutaneous layer to another layer in same site after the wound infection at inexpensive cost and avoidance of new scar formation. Methods: A 50-year-old man who was diagnosed as complex regional pain syndrome after traffic accident received spinal cord stimulator, Synergy$^{(R)}$ (Medtronic, Minneapolis, USA) insertion 1 month ago by anesthetist. The patient was referred to our department for wound infection management. The patient was presented with erythema, swelling, thick discharge and wound disruption in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. After surgical debridement of the capsule, the existing generator replacement beneath the anterior layer of rectus sheath was performed after sterilization by alcohol. Results: Patient's postoperative course was uneventful without any complication and had no evidence of infection for 3 months follow-up period. Conclusion: Replacement of existing spinal cord stimulation generator after sterilization between the anterior layer of rectus sheath and rectus abdominis muscle in the abdomen will be an alternative treatment in wound infection of stimulator generator.

본 논문은 병렬 CRC 생성 방식을 적용한 BCH 코드 복호기를 소개한다. 기존에 사용되는 병렬 신드롬 생성기로 LFSR(: Linear Feedback Shift Register)을 변형한 방식을 사용하면 짧은 길이의 코드에 적용하는 데 많은 면적을 차지한다. 제안하는 복호기는 짧은 길이 코드워드의 복호화를 위해 병렬 CRC(: Cyclic Redundancy Check)에서 체크섬을 계산하는 데 사용되는 방식을 활용하였다. 이 방식은 병렬 LFSR과 비교해 중복된 xor연산을 제거해 최적화된 조합회로로 크기가 작고 짧은 전파지연을 갖는다. 시뮬레이션 결과 기존 방식 대비 최대 2.01ns의 지연시간 단축 효과를 볼 수 있다. 제안하는 복호기는 $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계하고 합성되었다.

본 논문에서는 희소 패리티 검사 행열로부터 생성된 생성행열을 사용하여 에러 정정능력과 높은 부호율을 갖는 DC-free 다중 모드 부호를 구성하기 위한 새로운 부호화 기법을 제안 한다. 제안된 기법은 별개의 후보 부호워드들을 생성하기 위해 고속 생성행열들을 이용한다. 복호 과정의 복잡도는 수신된 부호워드의 신드롬이 ‘0’인지 아닌지에 따라 결정된다. 만약 신드롬이 ‘0’ 인 경우 복호는 수신된 부호워드의 잉여 비트들을 삭제하여 간단히 수행되고, ‘1’인 경우에는 합곱 (sum-product) 알고리즘으로 복호가 이루어진다. 제안된 기법은 DC 성분을 억압하면서도 낮은 비트 오율을 가질 수 있다.

디지틀 전송 시스팀에서 순방향 에러 제어(Forward Error Control) 방식으로 에러를 검출할 수 있는 성능과 구현의 용이함에 의해 Cyclic Redundancy Chedk(CRC) code가 널리 사용도고 있다. 즉, 간단한 몇개의 shift register와 modulo2 가산기를 이용하여 회로를 구성하고 입력 데이터 열을 직렬로 입력하면 최종적으로 shift register에 남아 있는 값이 CRC code가 되어 입력 데이터 열을 전송한 뒤 shift register의 값들을 순차적으로 전송하는 방식으로 전성 사의 에러를 검출하고 수정한다. 그러나 전송속도가 높아짐에 따라 직렬 데이터를 이용하여 CRC code를 생성하는 회로를 구현하는 것은 반도체 소자의 속도 제약 때문에 많은 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 주문형 반도체 개발시 반도체 소자의 속도 제약 문제를 해소하기 위하여 입력데이터 열을 병렬로 입력하여 직렬로 수행하는 방식과 동일한 방식으로 동작하는 병렬 CRC code 생성방식 및 syndrome 계산방식을 제안하였다.

During the period from January 1982 to June 1984 we implanted permanent pacemakers in 18 patients who received open heart surgery at Yonsei University Hospital. 1.In 11 patients, open heart surgery was performed at Yonsei University Hospital and new surgical induced heart blocks were developed and implantations of permanent pacemaker were done. 2.Total 1035 open heart surgeries were done and implantations of pacemaker were performed in 11 cases. [1.06%]. After total correction of TOF [215 cases] implantations of pacemaker were done in 3 cases. [1.4%] Implantations of pacemaker were 0.37% after VSD repair, 0.78% after ASD repair, 5.9% after ECD repair, 0.48% after MVR and 2.0% after AVR. 3.Causes were complete A-V block, sick sinus syndrome and A-V dissociation. 4.Heart blocks were developed immediately after bypass stop in 8 patients. 5.Implantations of pacemaker were done at more than 2 weeks after open heart surgery. 6.Local anesthesia was done in adult and general anesthesia in infants. Locations of pulse generator were subxiphoid, subcostal & subclavian. Position of pulse generator was between subcutaneous fat layer and muscle layer. 7.Types of pulse generator were VVI, VDD and AAI. 8.The postoperative complications included infection, pacing failure, sensing failure and lead dislodgment.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor neurological disorder in which the primary symptom is a compelling urge to move the legs, accompanied by unpleasant and disturbing sensations in the legs. Although pathophysiologic mechanism of RLS is still unclear, several evidences suggest that RLS is related to dysfunction in central nervous system involving brain and spinal cord. L-DOPA, as the precursor of dopamine, as well as dopamine agonists, plays an essential role in the treatment of RLS leading to the assumption of a key role of dopamine function in the pathophysiology of RLS. Patients with RLS have lower levels of dopamine in the substantia nigra and respond to iron administration. Iron, as a cofactor in dopamine production, plays a central role in the etiology of RLS. Functional neuroimaging studies using PET and SPECT support a central striatal D2 receptor abnormality in the pathophysiology of RLS. Functional MRI suggested a central generator of periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMs) in RLS. However, to date, we have no direct evidence of pathogenic mechanisms of RLS.

A 54-year-old man experienced injury to the second finger of his left hand due to damage from a paintball gun shot 8 years prior, and the metacarpo-phalangeal joint was amputated. He gradually developed mechanical allodynia and burning pain, and there were trophic changes of the thenar muscle and he reported coldness on his left hand and forearm. A neuroma was found on the left second common digital nerve and was removed, but his symptoms continued despite various conservative treatments including a morphine infusion pump on his left arm. We therefore attempted median nerve stimulation to treat the chronic pain. The procedure was performed in two stages. The first procedure involved exposure of the median nerve on the mid-humerus level and placing of the electrode. The trial stimulation lasted for 7 days and the patient's symptoms improved. The second procedure involved implantation of a pulse generator on the left subclavian area. The mechanical allodynia and pain relief score, based on the visual analogue scale, decreased from 9 before surgery to 4 after surgery. The patient's activity improved markedly, but trophic changes and vasomotor symptom recovered only moderately. In conclusion, median nerve stimulation can improve chronic pain from complex regional pain syndrome type II.
