Crowbar system is usually applied to a pulsed power system in which a capacitor bank is discharged into a load. This provides a free wheeling path for the load current and prevents the capacitor from recharging due to a reverse voltage. Usually diodes have been used as a crowbar switch, but it is not a practical system because the cost of the diodes goes up enormously with increasing the system voltage and current. This paper presents a novel protection scheme of a charging and discharging system of a 300 kJ capacitor bank using a low-cost crowbar system which consists of a crowbar switch and resistors. Triggered vacuum switch(TVS) was used for a crowbar switch, and Rogowski coil was used to determine a trigger time of TVS. When this crowbar system is applied to our pulsed power system which consists of capacitor bank($123muF$), inductor() for forming a pulse, load resistor$(100 m\Omega)$, and a closing switch, instantaneous reversal voltage of capacitor bank could be limited less than 1.8 ㎸ until capacitor bank was charred to 17 ㎸.

In this paper, we propose a multiple voltage scheduling method which reduces energy consumption considering both timing constraints and resource constraints. In the other multiple voltage scheduling techniques, high voltage is assigned to operations in the longest path and low voltage is assigned to operations that are not on the longest path. However, in those methods, voltages are assigned to specific operations restrictively. We use a simulated annealing technique, in which several voltages are assigned to specific operations flexibly regardless of whether they are on the longest path. In this paper, a post processing algorithm is proposed to further reduce the energy consumption. In some cases, designers may want to reduce the level shifters. To make tradeoff between the total energy and the number (or energy) of level shifters weighted term can be added to the cost function. When the level shifter energy is weighted six times, for example, the number of level shifters is reduced by about 24% and their energy consumption is reduced by about 20%.

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) has drawn much attention due to wide service coverage with low system cost. However, WMN suffers from high bit error rate, which provides different link capacity among wireless mesh routers. The conventional routing metrics select the path based on link quality. The link with the best quality is preferred as the data transmission path, and they becomes the bottleneck links, which leads to network performance degradation. In this paper, we propose a routing metric that considers the available bandwidth and the number of nodes suffering congestion in the path. Through computer simulations, we verified that the proposed routing metric outperforms the existing routing metrics in terms of average transmission delay, packet loss, system throughput.

The purpose of this study is to develop a simulation model of rural road path for infrastructure of green-tourism and public service in rural areas. This study makes an objective function for moving cost minimization considering car travel time according to road characteristics, which can route the optimal shortest road paths between the center places and all rear villages, based on GIS coverages of road-village network for connecting between center places and rural villages as input data of the model. In order to verify the model algorithm, a homogeneous hexagonal network, assuming distribution of villages with same population density and equal distance between neighborhood villages on a level plane area, was tested to simulate the optimal paths between the selected center nodes and the other rear nodes, so that the test showed reasonable shortest paths and road intensity defined in this study. The model was also applied to the actual rural area, Ucheon-myun, which is located on Hoengsung-gun, Kangwon-do, with 72 rural villages, a center village (Uhang, 1st center place) in the area, a county conte. (Hoengsung-eup, 2nd center place), and a city (Wonju, 3rd center place), as upper settlement system. The three kinds of conte. place, Uhang, Hoengsung-eup, and Wonju, were considered as center places of three scenarios to simulate the optimal shortest paths between the centers and rural villages, respectively. The simulation results on the road-village network with road information about pavement and width of road show that several spans having high intensity of road are more important that the others, while some road spans have low intensity of road.

The important requirements of designing a pattern classifier are high throughput and low memory requirements, and low cost hardware implementation. A pattern classifier by using Multiple Attractor Cellular Automata(MACA) proposed by Maji et al. reduced the complexity of the classification algorithm from $O(n^3)$ to O(n) by using Dependency Vector(DV) and Dependency String(DS). In this paper, we generate a pattern classifier using LFSR to improve efficiently the space and time complexity and we propose a method for finding DV by using the 0-basic path. Also we investigate DV and the attractor of the generated pattern classifier. We can divide an n-bit DS by m number of $DV_i$ s and generate various pattern classifiers.

A controller area network (CAN) controller is an integral part of an electronic control unit, particularly in an advanced driver assistance system application, and its characteristics should always be advantageous in all aspects of functionality especially in real time application. The cost should be low, while maintaining the functionality and reliability of the technology. However, a CAN protocol implementing serial operation results in slow throughput, especially in a cyclical redundancy checking (CRC) unit. In this paper, digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms are implemented, namely pipelining, unfolding, and retiming the CAN controller in the CRC unit, particularly for the encoder and decoder sections. It must attain a feasible iteration bound, a critical path that is appropriate for a CAN system, and must obtain a superior design of a high-speed parallel circuit for the CRC unit in order to have a faster transmission rate. The source code for the encoder and decoder was formulated in the Verilog hardware description language.

The trajectory of an current artillery munition is subject to a variety of different error sources resulting in more or less big deviation from the nominal predicted flight path. The 1D CCM(Course Correction Munition) has appeared to solve this problem and the mechanism of 1D CCM is a simple and low cost one using the influence of drag to range behavior of an artillery munition. In the paper 1D CCM concept has been simulated using wind tunnel experiment results of the specified Korean munition with CCF(Course Correction Fuze) and calculated the performance of its rang error reduction. From the simulated results it can be numerically explained that the possibility of adaptation of 1D CCM concept to Korean artillery munitions.

This paper introduces a map building algorithm which can collect environmental information using ultrasonic sensors. And also this paper discusses a traveling algorithm using environmental information which leads to the map building algorithm.
