In this paper, we propose a new data coding method and its circuits for minimizing data transition in text image. The proposed circuits can solve the synchronization problem between input data and output data in the modified LVDS algorithm. And the proposed algorithm is allowed to transmit two data signals through additional serial data coding method in order to minimize the data transition in text image and can reduce the operating frequency to a half. Thus, we can solve EMI(Electro-Magnetic Interface) problem and reduce the power consumption. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm and circuits can provide an enhanced data transition minimization in text image and solve the synchronization problem between input data and output data.

It is generally accepted that dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is one of the most effective techniques of energy minimization for real-time applications in embedded system design. The effectiveness comes from the fact that the amount of energy consumption is quadractically proportional to the voltage applied to the processor. The penalty is the execution delay, which is linearly and inversely proportional to the voltage. According to the granularity of tasks to which voltage scaling is applied, the DVS problem is divided into two subproblems: inter-task DVS problem, in which the determination of the voltage is carried out on a task-by-task basis and the voltage assigned to the task is unchanged during the whole execution of the task, and intra-task DVS problem, in which the operating voltage of a task is dynamically adjusted according to the execution behavior to reflect the changes of the required number of cycles to finish the task before the deadline. Frequent voltage transitions may cause an adverse effect on energy minimization due to the increase of the overhead of transition time and energy. In addition, DVS needs to be carefully applied so that the dynamically varying chip temperature should not exceed a certain threshold because a drastic increase of chip temperature is highly likely to cause system function failure. This paper reviews representative works on the theoretical solutions to DVS problems regarding inter-task DVS, intra-task DVS, voltage transition, and thermal-aware DVS.

This paper exploits the use of don't cares on software synthesis for embedded systems. Embedded systems have extremely tight real-time and code size constraints. We propose applying BDD minimization techniques in the presence of a don't care set to synthesize code for extended Finite State Machines from a BDD-based representation of the FSM transition function. The don't care set can be derived from local analysis as well as from external information. We show experimental results, discuss their implications, the interactions between BDD-based minimization and dynamic variable reordering, and propose directions for future research.

As the number of devices integrated on system-on-chip(SoC) increases exponentially, energy reduction technology is essential. Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) is a very effective technique for reducing power consumption. Since it requires complex voltage regulators and PLL circuits, DVFS tends to have significant overheads. In this paper, we propose a new voltage selection algorithm to minimize transition overhead for multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC). Simulation results show that proposed algorithm appears less energy consumption with transition overhead even though maintains performance.

This paper presents a low-power flip-flop(FF) circuit that minimizes the transition of internal nodes by using a dual change-sensing method. The proposed dual change-sensing FF(DCSFF) shows the lowest dynamic power consumption among conventional FFs, when there is no input data transition. From the measured results with 65nm CMOS process, the power consumption has been reduced by 98% and 32%, when the data activity is 0% and 100%, respectively, compared to conventional transmission gate FF(TGFF). Further, compared to change-sensing FF(CSFF), the power consumption of proposed DCSFF is smaller by 30%.

The characteristics at the intermediate operation point of the turbopump-gas generator(TP-GG) coupled test were investigated by analytical method. The pump outlet pressure, gas generator mixture ratio, gas generator pressure, and temperature were examined considering risk minimization of test. The engine system shows different behavior from the TP-GG coupled test at the intermediate operation point since the combustion pressure feeds back to the flow rate in the lines. The advanced valve changes in the combustor line helps less risky mode transition.

In this paper, a new state assignment method is proposed for the implementation of the area-effective control part. Introducing the, concept of adjacency matrix to control table generated by SDL(Symbolic Description Language) hardware compiler, a state assignment method is proposed with which minimal number of flip flops and effective number of product terms can be obtained to accomplish the area-effective implementation. Also, with substituting the assigned code to state transition table, boolean equations are obtained through 2-level logic minimization. Proposed algorithm is programmed in C-language on VAX-750/UNIX and b efficiency is shown by the practical example.

The Upper Bound Solution has been used to investigate the effect of the various parameters on the floating-plug tube-drawing precess. A kinematically admissible velocity field considering the change of the tube thickness is proposed for the deformation process. Taking into account the position of the plug in the deforming region, shear energy at entrance and exit, friction energy on contact area, homogeneous energy are calculated. The theoretical values in proposed velocity field are good agreement with experimental values, It is investigated that the tube thickness in the deforming region is changed slightly toward minimization of deforming energy and then the drawing stress in lower than the crawing stress in the velocity field that the tube thickness is uniform.

Objectives: The goal of this study was to perform an economic analysis of a primary stenting with drug-eluting stents (DES) compared with bare-metal stents (BMS) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) admitted through an emergency room (ER) visit in Korea using population-based data. Methods: We employed a cost-minimization method using a decision analytic model with a two-year time period. Model probabilities and costs were obtained from a published systematic review and population-based data from which a retrospective database analysis of the national reimbursement database of Health Insurance Review and Assessment covering 2006 through 2010 was performed. Uncertainty was evaluated using one-way sensitivity analyses and probabilistic sensitivity analyses. Results: Among 513 979 cases with AMI during 2007 and 2008, 24 742 cases underwent stenting procedures and 20 320 patients admitted through an ER visit with primary stenting were identified in the base model. The transition probabilities of DES-to-DES, DES-to-BMS, DES-to-coronary artery bypass graft, and DES-to-balloon were 59.7%, 0.6%, 4.3%, and 35.3%, respectively, among these patients. The average two-year costs of DES and BMS in 2011 Korean won were 11 065 528 won/person and 9 647 647 won/person, respectively. DES resulted in higher costs than BMS by 1 417 882 won/person. The model was highly sensitive to the probability and costs of having no revascularization. Conclusions: Primary stenting with BMS for AMI with an ER visit was shown to be a cost-saving procedure compared with DES in Korea. Caution is needed when applying this finding to patients with a higher level of severity in health status.
