A Coarse-Fine Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) using the single time amplifier is proposed. A vernier delay line is used to overcome process dependency and the 2-stage time amplifier is designed to have high resolution by increasing the gain of the time amplifier. Single time amplifier architecture reduces the silicon area of the TDC and alleviates mismatch effect between time amplifiers. The proposed TDC is implemented in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process with the supply voltage of 1.8 V. The measured results show that the resolution of the TDC is 0.73 ps with 10-bit digital output, although highend process is not applied. The single time amplifier architecture reduces 13% of chip area compared to previous work. By reducing the supply voltage, the linearity of the TDC is enhanced and the resolution is decreased to 1.45 ps.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study to investigate the influences of high temperatures on the mechanical properties of concrete containing recycled fine aggregate. A total of 150 concrete prisms ($100{\times}100{\times}300mm$) and 150 concrete cubes ($100{\times}100{\times}100mm$) are cast and heated under five different temperatures ($20^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$) for test. The results show that the mass loss, compressive strength, elastic modulus, splitting tensile strength of concrete specimens containing recycled fine aggregate decline significantly as the temperature rise. At the same temperature, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, elastic modulus of concrete specimens containing recycled coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate (RHC) is lower than that of concrete specimens containing natural coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate (RFC). The shape of stress-strain curves of concrete specimens at different temperatures is different, and the shape of that become flatter as the temperature rises. Normal concrete has better energy absorption capacity than concrete containing recycled fine aggregate.

This paper describes a 40-Msample/s 10-bit CMOS folding and interpolating analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A new 2-step architecture is proposed. The proposed architecture is composed of a coarse ADC bloch for the 6bits of MSBs and a fine ADC block for the remaining 4bits. The amplified folding analog signals in the coarse ADC are selectively chosen for the fine ADC. In the fine ADC, the bubble errors of the comparators are corrected by using the BGM(binary-gray-mixed) code[1] and extra two comparators are used to correct underflow and overflow errors. The proposed ADC was simulated using CMOS 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ parameters and occupies 1.0mm$\times$1.0mm. The power consumption is 48㎽ at 40MS/s with 2.5-V power supply. The INL is under $\pm$2.0LSB and the DNL. is under $\pm$1.0LSB by Matlab simulations.

본 논문에서는 전부 디지털 회로로 구성된 고 해상도의 DLL(Delay Locked Loop)를 제안하였다. 제안된 회로는 위상 검출기, 지연 선택 블록, 그리고 각각의 지연 체인을 가지는 Coarse, Fine 그리고 Ultra Fine 위상조정 블록의 삼 단의 형식으로 되어 있다. 첫 번째 단은 Ultra Fine 위상조정블록으로 고 해상도를 얻기 위하여 Vernier Delay Line을 사용하였다. 두 번째와 세 번째 단은 Coarse와 Fine 위상조정블록으로 각각의 단위 지연 체인을 이루는 단위 지연 소자의 해상도 만큼의 위상 제어를 하게 되며, 두 단은 상당히 비슷한 구조를 이루고 있다. 회로는 HSPICE를 이용하여 공급 전압이 3.3V인 $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 시뮬레이션 되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과 회로의 해상도를 약 10ps로 높일 수 있었으며, 동작 범위는 250MHz에서 800MHz 이다.

In this paper, shock analysis was performed for coarse and fine mesh model using MSC/NASTRAN and ANSYS after substituting the foundation of deck mounted equipment of marine ship for mass-spring system. In order to determine input file in MSC/NASTRAN, dynamic response analysis was also performed using DDAM based on the calculation in the range of low frequency. It was confirmed that the coarse mesh model has the sufficient effective weight in a lower degree mode compared to fine mesh model.

Fruit detection in orchards is one of the most crucial tasks for designing the visual system of an automated harvesting robot. It is the first and foremost tool employed for tasks such as sorting, grading, harvesting, disease control, and yield estimation, etc. Efficient visual systems are crucial for designing an automated robot. However, conventional fruit detection methods always a trade-off with accuracy, real-time response, and extensibility. Therefore, an improved method is proposed based on coarse-to-fine multitask cascaded convolutional networks (MTCNN) with three aspects to enable the practical application. First, the architecture of Fruit-MTCNN was improved to increase its power to discriminate between objects and their backgrounds. Then, with a few manual labels and operations, synthetic images and labels were generated to increase the diversity and the number of image samples. Further, through the online hard example mining (OHEM) strategy during training, the detector retrained hard examples. Finally, the improved detector was tested for its performance that proved superior in predicted accuracy and retaining good performances on portability with the low time cost. Based on performance, it was concluded that the detector could be applied practically in the actual orchard environment.

Airborne particulate matters have two modes of size distributions of coarse mode and fine mode. The coarse mode which is formed by break down mechanism of large particles has a peak around the $100\;{\mu}m$, and the fine mode formed by condensation and build up mechanism of evaporated vapors has a peak at several ${\mu}m$. The coarse mode particles can be removed easily by conventional collecting equipments such as a cyclone, an electrostatic precipitator, and a filter, however the fine mode particles can not be collected easily. Usually the fine mode particles are generated in the high temperature conditions especially through boilers and incinerators, so the high efficient and temperature filter is essential for the filtration. In this study, a nano ceramic filter for the removal of fine particles in the high temperature is developed and tested for several characteristics. The nano ceramic filter has double layer of micro and nano structure and the pressure drop and the filtration efficiency for $0.31\;{\mu}m$ at 3 cm/s are 15.45 mmAq, and 96.75%, respectively. The thermal conductivity is $0.038\;W/m{\cdot}K$, and the coefficient of water vapor permeability is $3.63\;g/m^2{\cdot}h{\cdot}mmHg$. It is considered that the sensible heat exchange rate is very poor because the low thermal conductivity but it has high potential to exchange latent heat.

콘크리트 구조물은 화재에 노출시 고온에 의해 내부 구조가 변화하며 보유하고 있는 강도와 변형 성능이 저하되어 최종적으로 수명이 단축하게 된다. 그 성능 저하 수준은 도달된 온도, 고온에 노출된 시간, 콘크리트의 배합, 골재의 특성 및 콘크리트 자체의 특성 등에 의해 결정된다. 이 연구는 물시멘트비, 잔골재율 및 굵은 골재의 최대 크기등의 변수에 대한 초고강도 콘크리트의 열적 거동을 평가하기 위해 실시되었다. 상온 및 $500^{\circ}C$의 온도에 대하여 초음파 속도, 동탄성 계수, 정탄성 계수 및 압축강도 시험은 ${\varnothing}100{\times}200\;mm$ 원주형 콘크리트 시험체를 사용하여 실시되었다. 결과로서 $500^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 가열된 초고강도 콘크리트의 잔존 역학적 특성은 물결합재비, 잔골재율 및 굵은 골재 최대 치수의 변화에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

산업계에서 개발비용과 기간을 단축시키기 위해 시스템을 점차 Enterprise JavaBeans(EJB)로 개발하는 추세이다. 그러므로 시스템 재사용성, 확장성과 이식성을 높이기 위해 EJB를 위한 아키텍처가 중요해졌다. 그러나, 상위 레벨 수준의 추상적인 아키텍처는 제공되지만, 현재 가능한 J2EE기술을 사용하여 실제화 시키는 구체적 방법은 제공되지 않아 실용적인 소프트웨어 아키텍처에 관한 연구가 부족하다. EJB 규약(Specification)은 EJB를 운용하기 위한 세션빈, 엔티티빈들의 특성과 소규모(Fine Grained)방식의 컴포넌트 아키텍쳐만을 제시하고 있다. 그러므로 EJB는 작은 재사용 단위이기 때문에 EJB, 미들웨어 기술을 사용해도 기대만큼 재사용되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 EJB 기반의 시스템을 위한 엔터프라이즈 소프트웨어 아키텍처를 구체적인 구현 기술과 기법을 함께 제안한다. 또한 효율적인 EJB 아키텍처를 설계하기 위한 EJB 설계 패턴을 제안한다. 설계 패턴들의 장단점을 분석하여 엔터프라이즈 아키텍처의 각 계층에 적합한 EJB 디자인 패턴을 식별하고, 디자인 패턴을 적용한 컴포넌트를 통해 최적의 컴포넌트간의 상호관계를 지원하는 아키텍처가 되도록 한다. EJB 설계기법을 객체수준의 화이트박스 형식인 소규모 EJB 컴포넌트로 부터 대규모(Coarse Grained) 방식의 EJB 컴포넌트로 설계하는 기법을 5가지로 제시하고, EJB 기반의 트랜잭션, 조립기법을 포함한 엔터프라이즈 아키텍처 설계 기법을 구체적으로 제안한다.
