In this paper, we proposed a new image summarization algorithm designed for automatically summarizing user's snapshot photos taken in a virtual environment based on user's context information and educational contents, and then presenting a summarized photos shortly after user's virtual reality experience. While other image summarization algorithms used date, location, and keyword to effectively summarize a large amount of photos, this algorithm is intended to improve users' memory retention by recalling their interests and important educational contents. This paper first describes some criteria of extracting the meaningful images to improve learning effects and the identification rate calculations, followed by the system architecture that integrates the virtual environment and the viewer interface. It will also discuss a user study to model the algorithm's optimal identification rate and then future research directions.

Machine learning (ML) data-driven meta-model is proposed as a surrogate model to reduce the excessive computational cost of the physics-based model and facilitate the real-time prediction of a nuclear power plant's transient response. To forecast the transient response three machine learning (ML) meta-models based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs); specifically, Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and a sequence combination of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and LSTM are developed. The chosen accident scenario is a control element assembly withdrawal at power concurrent with the Loss Of Offsite Power (LOOP). The transient response was obtained using the best estimate thermal hydraulics code, MARS-KS, and cross-validated against the Design and control document (DCD). DAKOTA software is loosely coupled with MARS-KS code via a python interface to perform the Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty Quantification (BEPU) analysis and generate a time series database of the system response to train, test and validate the ML meta-models. Key uncertain parameters identified as required by the CASU methodology were propagated using the non-parametric Monte-Carlo (MC) random propagation and Latin Hypercube Sampling technique until a statistically significant database (181 samples) as required by Wilk's fifth order is achieved with 95% probability and 95% confidence level. The three ML RNN models were built and optimized with the help of the Talos tool and demonstrated excellent performance in forecasting the most probable NPP transient response. This research was guided by the Systems Engineering (SE) approach for the systematic and efficient planning and execution of the research.

An aging Society solitary life old mans are increasing. The nurses have to visit old mans and must confirm their disease, because they do not act well. It is very difficult to take care old man, because the number of Nurses are small. This problem is solved by collection of data about condition of old mans from long distance. Data communication with Ethernet have benefit to collection of measurement of old man's condition. The Data storage system an long distance place are storaged data and after several day data was transmitted to the DB over the Ethernet. For Miniaturization of such system the system must be OS-less Embedded Ethernet Server system. Such system manages the file management system only with H/W. The Storage device is used SD-card. SD Card is small size and operates with small power. By using 512MB sd memory card, it is possible to storage during 5~6 years, 10 byte of temperature value per second.

Recently, the demand for high-integrated, low-powered, and high-powered SoC design has been increasing due to the multi-functionality and the miniaturization of digital devices and the high capacity of service informations. With the rapid evolution of the system, the required hardware performances have become diversified, the FPGA system has been increasingly adopted for the rapid verification, and SoC system using the FPGA and the ARM core for control has been growingly chosen. While the AXI bus is used in these kinds of systems in various ways, it is traditionally designed with AXI slave structure. In slave structure, there are problems with the CPU resources because CPU is continually involved in the data transfer and can't be used in other jobs, and with the decreased transmission efficiency because the time not used of AXI bus beomes longer. In this paper, an efficient AXI master interface is proposed to solve this problem. The simulation results show that the proposed system achieves reductions in the consumption clock by an average of 51.99% and in the slice by 31% and that the maximum operating frequency is increased to 107.84MHz by about 140%.

The desktop interface is not suitable for the environment in which mobile devices are used commonly with moving, because much attention should be paid for it. And the miniaturizing of mobile devices increases the workload for using them, makes the operation speeds lower and makes more errors. So the study of appropriate level of the input interface for this changing environment is needed. In the aspect of mobile devices. input style and the complexity of the menu hierarchy, this study will look for the way to decrease the workload when doing some primary tasks and using mobile devices simultaneously with moving. The input style was classified into gesture input style, button input style, and pointing input style. The accuracy and speed were measured when doing dual tasks, including a menu searching task and a figure memory task, through one input style of three. By Changing the level of menu hierarchy in the menu searching task, the accuracy of task execution was examined. These Experiments were done in standing state and moving state. In both state the pointing input style was the highest in the accuracy of task execution but the slowest in the speed. In contrast, the gesture input style was not high in the accuracy but the fastest in the speed. This fact shows that the gesture input style is suitable for the condition needed for speedy processing rather than accurate execution when moving.

Most of the existing SoCs have shared bus architecture which always has a bottleneck state. The more IPs are in an SOC, the less performance it is of the SOC, Therefore, its performance is effected by the entire communication rather than CPU speed. In this paper, we propose cross-bar switch bus architecture for the reduction of the bottleneck state and the improvement of the performance. The cross-bar switch bus supports up to 8 masters and 16 slaves and parallel communication with architecture of multiple channel bus. Each slave has an arbiter which stores priority information about masters. So, it prevents only one master occupying one slave and supports efficient communication. We compared WISHBONE on-chip shared bus architecture with crossbar switch bus architecture of the SOC platform, which consists of an OpenRISC processor, a VGA/LCD controller, an AC97 controller, a debug interface, a memory interface, and the performance improved by 26.58% than the previous shared bus.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the characteristics of single and double finger gestures related on the web browser and to extract the appropriate finger gestures. Background: As electronic equipment emphasizes miniaturization for improving portability various interfaces are being developed as input devices. Electronic devices are made smaller, the gesture recognition technology using the touch-based interface is favored for easy editing. In addition, user focus primarily on the simplicity of intuitive interfaces which propels further research of gesture based interfaces. In particular, the fingers in these intuitive interfaces are simple and fast which are users friendly. Recently, the single and double finger gestures are becoming more popular so more applications for these gestures are being developed. However, systems and software that employ such finger gesture lack consistency in addition to having unclear standard and guideline development. Method: In order to learn the application of these gestures, we performed the sketch map method which happens to be a method for memory elicitation. In addition, we used the MIMA(Meaning in Mediated Action) method to evaluate gesture interface. Results: This study created appropriate gestures for intuitive judgment. We conducted a usability test which consisted of single and double finger gestures. The results showed that double finger gestures had less performance time faster than single finger gestures. Single finger gestures are a wide satisfaction difference between similar type and difference type. That is, single finger gestures can judge intuitively in a similar type but it is difficult to associate functions in difference type. Conclusion: This study was found that double finger gesture was effective to associate functions for web navigations. Especially, this double finger gesture could be effective on associating complex forms such as curve shaped gestures. Application: This study aimed to facilitate the design products which utilized finger and hand gestures.

The characteristics of $NO/N_2O$ nitrided oxide and reoxidized nitrided oxide being studied as super thin gate oxide and gate dielectric layers of nonvolatile semiconductor memory(NVSM) was investigated by dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry(D-SMS), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry(ToF-SIMS), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The specimen was annealed in $NO/N_2O$ ambient after initial oxide process. The result of D-SIMS exhibits that the center of nitrogen exists at the initial oxide interface and the distribution of nitrogen is wider in the annealing process with $N_2O$ than with NO annealing process. For investigating the condition of nitrogen that exists within the nitrided oxide, ToF-SIMS and XPS analysis were carried out. It was shown that the center of nitrogen investigated by D-SIMS was expected the SiON chemical bonds. The nitrogen near the newly formed reoxide/silicon substrate interface was appeared as $Si_2NO$ chemical bonds, and it is agreed with the distribution of SiN and $Si_2NO$ species by ToF-SIMS.

In this paper, we present JPAS(Java Package for Array Sharing) which is a Java Package for sharing arrays of data on a cluster of workstations. It allows us to divide an array of data into several pieces, and to place each piece on a different host. JPAS uses Java RMI so that the entire array can be accessed by a location transparent interface which is similar to that of a distributed shared memory system. JPAS is portable and easy to use since it is implemented using pure Java. In order to reduce network overhead, JPAS allows programmers to use their prior knowledge of the application. Data consistency can be maintained through the value updating methods defined for all the elements of an array. We developed parallel programs which use JPAS, and tested them on a cluster of workstations. The test results show that JPAS is a parallel programming tool with reasonably good performance.
