This paper designs a virtual USB drive for mobile devices which gives an illusion of a traditional USB flash memory drive and provides capacity-free storage space over IP network. The virtual USB drive operating with a S3C2410 hardware platform and embedded linux consists of USB device driver, an iSCSI-enabled network stack, and a seamless USB/iSCSI tunneling module. For performance enhancement, it additionally provides a kernel-level seamless USB/iSCSI tunneling module and data sharing with symbol references among kernel modules. Experiments reveal that the kernel-level implementation can improve the I/O performance up to 8 percentage, as compared with the user-level implementation.

In this paper, we developed a file system architecture for portable multimedia devices. To enhance user convenience, the information about the stored files should be easily retrieved and organized. We defined NMD (Networked MetaData), which can organize the files in networked fashion by attaching user-defined attributes and relation between files. The NMD is stored in flash memory to utilize its nonvolatile property and low-power consumption, while multimedia files are stored in hard disk, an inexpensive mass storage. The experimental implementation showed that this architecture was able to save about 10% power compared to the hard disk NMD-store.

This study is about a retrograde triple well employed in the Cell tr. of next DRAM and flash memory. Triple well structure is formed deep n-well under the light p-well using MeV ion implantation. MeV P implanted deep n-well was observed to show greatly improved characteristics of electrical isolation and soft error. Junction leakage current, however, showed a critical behavior as a function of implantation and annealing conditions. {311} defects were observed to be responsible for the leakage current. {311} defects were generated near the R$\_$p/ (Projected range) region and grown upward to the surface during annealing. This is study on the defect behavior in device region as a function of implantation and annealing conditions.

In this study, $Al_2O_3/TaAlO_4/SiO_2$ (A/TAlO/S) structures with tantalum aluminate charge trap layer were fabricated for Nand flash memory device. We evaluated the memory window and retention characteristic as the thickness of the tunnel oxide was varied among 3 nm, 4 nm, and 5 nm. All tunnel oxide thicknesses were measured by ellipsometer and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope). The A/TAlO/S multi-layer film consisted of 5 nm tunnel oxide showed the best result of memory window of 1.57 V and retention characteristics. After annealing the 5 nm tunnel oxide A/TAlO/S multi-layer film at $900^{\circ}C$. The memory window decreased to 1.32 V. Moreover, the TEM images confirmed that the thickness of multi-layer structure decreased 14.3% after annealing and the program conditions of A/TAlO/S multi-layer film decreased from 13 V to 11 V for 100 ms. Retention properties of both as-deposited and annealed films stably maintained until to $10^4$ cycles.

The charge-pump circuit which is used to generate higher voltage than the available supply voltage has wide applications such as the flash memory of EEPROM Because the demand for high voltage comes from physical mechanism such as the oxide tunneling, the required pumped voltage cannot be scaled as the power supply voltage is scaled. Therefore, an efficient charge-pump circuit that can achieve high voltage from the available low supply voltage is essential. A new Analog Switch p-well CMOS charge pump circuit without the MOS device body effect is processed. By improve the structure of the circuit's transistors to reduce the threshold voltage shift of the devices, the threshold voltage of the device is kept constant. So, the circuit electrical characteristics are higher output voltage within a shorter time than the conventional charge pump. The propose analog switch CMOS charge pump shows compatible performance of the ideal diode or Dickson charge pump.

The small form factor optical data storage devices are developing rapidly nowadays. Since it is designed for portable and compatibility with flash memory, its components such as disk, head, focusing actuator, and spindle motor should be assembled within 5 m thickness. The thickness of focusing actuator is within 2 mm and the total working range is $+/-100{\mu}m$, with the resolution of less than $1{\mu}m$. Since the thickness is limited tightly, it is hard to place the yoke that closes the magnetic circuit and hard to make strong flux density without yoke. Therefore, Halbach array is adopted to increase the magnetic flux of one side without yoke. The proposed Halbach array type focusing actuator has the advantage of thin actuation structure with sacrificing less flux density than conventional magnetic array. The optical head unit is moved on the swing arm type tracking actuator. Focusing coil is attached to swing arm, and Halbach magnet array is positioned at the bottom of deck along the tracking line, and focusing actuator exerts force by the Fleming's left hand rule. The working range and resolution of focusing actuator are analyzed with FEM and experiment.

This paper presents recent developments in an extremely compact, wireless impedance sensor node (the WID3, $\underline{W}$ireless $\underline{I}$mpedance $\underline{D}$evice) for use in high-frequency impedance-based structural health monitoring (SHM), sensor diagnostics and validation, and low-frequency (< ~1 kHz) vibration data acquisition. The WID3 is equipped with an impedance chip that can resolve measurements up to 100 kHz, a frequency range ideal for many SHM applications. An integrated set of multiplexers allows the end user to monitor seven piezoelectric sensors from a single sensor node. The WID3 combines on-board processing using a microcontroller, data storage using flash memory, wireless communications capabilities, and a series of internal and external triggering options into a single package to realize a truly comprehensive, self-contained wireless active-sensor node for SHM applications. Furthermore, we recently extended the capability of this device by implementing low-frequency analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters so that the same device can measure structural vibration data. The compact sensor node collects relatively low-frequency acceleration measurements to estimate natural frequencies and operational deflection shapes, as well as relatively high-frequency impedance measurements to detect structural damage. Experimental results with application to SHM, sensor diagnostics and low-frequency vibration data acquisition are presented.

현재 VOD 의 구현 방식은 PC기반을 이용하여 구현되고 있는데 이 VOD를 PC기반이 아닌 Embedded System으로 구현하는 연구를 수행하였다. 이 시스템의 OS는 WindowsCE.net을 이용하였으며, x86코어를 내장한 Sc1200(National사의 Geode제품군)을 CPU로 사용하였고, 메모리는 128 MByte SDRAM을 사용하였다. 그 외에 영상 데이터의 처리를 위하여 Mpeg Decoder를 사용하였고, Internet 망을 이용하기 위한 Ethernet Controller를 이용하였다. 그리고 소프트웨어를 저장하기 위한 저장메모리가 3가지 가 있는데, BIOS를 위한 Boot ROM과 WindowsCE Kernel을 저장하고 있는 Flash Memory, 그리고 나머지 기타 환경을 저장하기위한 Disk On Chip이 3가지가 저장메모리이다. 이 시스템의 영상출력부는 컴포지트(Composite), 컴포넌트(Com ponent), S-Video가 있으며 이들 중 1가지를 선택하여 TV에 연결하여 동작 되도록 하였다. 실제 구현은 시스템 개발에 필요한 BIOS, WinodwsCE.net Porting, DeviceDriver와 동작 확인에 필요한 간단한 Application 제작하였으며, 영상 Play는 WindowsCE.net에 포함되어있는 Window Media Player를 이용하였다. 따라서, 본 논문은 현재 PC에서 구현되고 있는 VOD 서비스의 단점들인 불필요한 마우스와 키보드 조작, PC와 TV의 연결 시 해상도 호환 문제등 을 보완하고자 Embedded System의 형태로 바꾸어 손쉽게 TV와 연결하여 사용할 수 있도록 구현하는데 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.

클라우드 데이터베이스와 같은 분산 시스템 환경에서는 균일한 서비스 품질을 보장하기 위해 꼬리 응답시간을 짧게 유지하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 카산드라 데이터베이스를 대상으로, 긴 꼬리 응답시간에 해당하는 지연이 메모리 공간 부족으로 인해 발생한다는 것을 보이며, 이러한 지연이 메모리 공간 확보를 위해 버퍼에 저장된 데이터를 저장장치에 완전히 내려쓸 때까지 카산드라가 사용자의 요청을 받지 않기 때문임을 밝힌다. 버퍼에 저장된 데이터를 내려쓰는데 걸리는 시간은 저장장치 성능에 따라 결정되므로 SSD의 가바지 컬렉션으로 인한 성능 저하가 꼬리 응답시간을 더 길게 만들고 있음을 관찰하였다. 우리는 자바가상기계에서의 가비지 컬렉션과 SSD에서의 가비지 컬렉션을 함께 수행하여 SSD의 가비지 컬렉션 비용을 숨기는, SyncGC 기법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, SyncGC 기법을 통해 꼬리 응답시간인 $99.9^{th}$와 $99.9^{th}-percentile$을 각각 31%, 36% 줄일 수 있었다.
