This paper proposes an efficient and differentiated MAC scheduling algorithm for Bluetooth systems. The proposed algorithm guarantees QoS (Quality of Service) requirement of each master-slave pair or application. Conventional MAC scheduling algorithms for Bluetooth take priority of each pair into consideration and demonstrate relatively reasonable performance. However, their performances may depend on traffic characteristic, or they are limited by overheads for signaling. In this paper, we propose a new MAC scheduling algorithm superior to the conventional algorithms from the viewpoints of throughput, delay, and supporting QoS. Our proposed algorithm is evaluated via computer simulations under various environments and compared with the conventional scheduling algorithms. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm shows better performance than the existing algorithms, and can support the QoS demand of each pair.

Purpose : To calculate the appearance of the image distortion from metallic artifacts and to determine the location of a metallic needle from a distorted MR image. Materials and Methods : To examine metal artifacts, an infinite metal cylinder in a strong magnetic field are assumed. The cylinder’s axis leaned toward the magnetic field along some arbitrary angle. The Laplace equation for this situation was solved to investigate the magnetic field distortion, and the simulation was performed to evaluation the image artifact caused by both readout and slice-selection gradient field. Using the result of the calculation, the exact locations of the metal cylinder were calculated from acquired images. Results : The distances between the center and the folded point are measured from images and calculated. Percentage errors between the measured and calculated distance were less than 5%, except for one case. Conclusion : The simulation was successfully performed when the metal cylinder was skewed at an arbitrary tilted angle relative to the main magnetic field. This method will make it possible to monitor and guide both biopsy and surgery with real time MRI.

High speed computer, large scale storage device and high speed computer network are computing infrastructure which we can easily access to in these days. However, many computer simulations in natural or applied science such as molecular simulation require more computing power as well as larger scale of storage. Grid computing which is a next generation of distributed computing environment, is one of solution for the new requirements. Even though many researches have been going on Grid computing, those are oriented to communication interface and protocols, and middleware like globus tool kits[2, 3]. Therefore research on application level platform or application itself is yet premature and it makes real users be difficult to utilize Grid system for their research. In this paper, we suggest a new user environment and an abstract job model for simulation experiments on MGrid(Molecular Simulation Grid). It will make users be able to utilize Grid resources efficiently and reliably.

The studies of PMOS transistors in CMOS technologies are reviewed- focusing on the snapback and breakdown behavior of the parasitic PNP BJTs in high current regime. A new failure mechanism of PMOSFET devices under ESD conditions is also analyzed by investigating various I/O structures in a $0.13\;{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Localized turn-on of the parasitic PNP transistor can be caused by localized charge injection from the adjacent diodes into the body of the PMOSFET, significantly degrading the ESD robustness of PMOSFETs. Based on 2-D device simulations the critical layout parameters affecting this problem are identified. Design guidelines for avoiding this new PMOSFET failure mode are also suggested.

In this study, we examined the simulated electrical characteristics of single-gated feedback field effect transistors (FBFETs) and the influence of channel length variation of the memory window characteristics through the 3D device simulation. The simulations were carried out for various channel lengths from 50 nm to 100 nm. The FBFETs exhibited zero SS(< 1 mV/dec) and a current $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio${\sim}1.27{\times}10^{10}$. In addition, the memory windows were 0.31 V for 50 nm-channel-length devices while no memory windows were observed for 100 nm-channel-length devices.

Although yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has provided a great vehicle for the study of spin waves in the past, associated difficulties in film deposition and device fabrication using YIG had limited the applicability of spin waves to practical devices. However, microfabrication techniques have made it possible to characterize both the resonant as well as the travelling characteristics of spin waves in permalloy (Py). A variety of methods have been used for measuring spin waves, including Brillouin light scattering (BLS), magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE), vector network analyzer ferromagnetic resonance (VNA-FMR), and pulse inductive microwave magnetometry (PIMM). PIMM is one of the most preferred methodologies of measuring travelling spin waves. In this method, an electrical impulse is applied at one of two coplanar waveguides patterned on top of oxide-insulated Py, producing a local disturbance in the magnetization of the Py. The resulting disturbance travels down the Py in the form of waves, and is inductively picked up by the other coplanar waveguide. We investigate the effect of the pulse width of excitation pulses on the generated spin wave packets using both experimental results and micromagnetic simulations. We show that spin wave packets generated from electrical pulses are a superposition of two separate spin wave packets, one generated from the rising edge and the other from the falling edge, which interfere either constructively or destructively with one another, depending upon the magnitude and direction of the field bias conditions. A method of spin wave amplitude modulation is also presented by the linear superposition of spin waves. We use interfering spin waves resulting from two closely spaced voltage impulses for the modulation of the magnitude of the resultant spin wave packets.

Mesh screen modeling and liquid propellant discharge simulation of surface tension tank were performed using commercial CFD software Flow-3d. $350{\times}2600$, $400{\times}3000$ and $510{\times}3600$ DTW mesh screen were modeled using macroscopic porous media model. Porosity, capillary pressure, and drag coefficient were assigned for each mesh screen model, and bubble point simulations were performed. The mesh screen model was validated with the experimental data. Based on the screen modeling, liquid propellant discharge simulation from PMD tank was performed. NTO was assigned as the liquid propellant, and void was set to flow into the tank inlet to achieve an initial volume flow rate of liquid propellant in $3{\times}10^{-3}g$ acceleration condition. The intial flow pressure drop through the mesh screen was approximately 270 Pa, and the pressure drop increased with time. Liquid propellant discharge was sustained until the flow pressure drop reached approximately 630 Pa, which was near the estimated bubble point value of the screen model.

Discrete event system specification (DEVS) has been used in many simulations including hybrid systems featuring both discrete and continuous behavior that require a lot of time to get results. Therefore, in this study, we proposed the acceleration of a DEVS-based hybrid system simulation using multi-cores and GPUs tightly coupled computing. We analyzed the proposed heterogeneous computing of the simulation in terms of the configuration of the target device, changing simulation parameters, and power consumption for efficient simulation. The result revealed that the proposed architecture offers an advantage for high-performance simulation in terms of execution time, although more power consumption is required. With these results, we discovered that our approach is applicable in hybrid system simulation, and we demonstrated the possibility of optimized hardware distribution in terms of power consumption versus execution time via experiments in the proposed architecture.

Zero energy building is a self sufficient building that minimizes energy consumption through passive elements such as insulation, high performance window system and installing of high efficiency HVAC system and uses renewable energy sources. The Korea Government has been strengthening the building energy efficiency standard and code for zero energy building. The building energy performance is determined by the performance of building envelope. Therefore it is important to optimize facade design such as insulation, window properties and shading, that affect the heating and cooling loads. In particular, shading devices are necessary to reduce the cooling load in summer season. Meanwhile, BIPV shading system functions as a renewable energy technology applied in solar control facade system to reduce cooling load and produce electricity simultaneously. Therefore, when installing the BIPV shading system, the length of shadings and angle that affect the electricity production must be considered. This study focused on the facade design applied with BIPV shading system for maximizing energy saving of the selected standard building. The impact of changing insulation on roof and walls, window properties and length of BIPV shading device on energy performance of the building were investigated. In conclusion, energy consumption and electricity production were analyzed based on building energy simulations using energyplus 8.1 building simulation program and jEPlus+EA optimization tool.

The existing rehabilitation systems were developed to exercise specific joints only. Therefore rehabilitating the various joints of human, various kinds of devices are need. To overcome these defects, this paper proposed the CMRS, an integrated system that performs various rehabilitation exercises. The characteristics of motion and the positions between human body and the system were investigated with the kinematics analysis of upper and lower limb of human body. We presented a proper mechanism to develop a rehabilitation device on the base of the study and studied the relative positions between head part and human joints. Through the simulations, the possibility of rehabilitation system was verified. And the base frame was also developed for convenient and stable position control. Finally, the CMRS was developed as an 8 degree of freedom mechanism. It is expected that the CMRS will be applied to the rehabilitations of various joints.
