We present a method of runtime configuration scheduling in reconfigurable SoC design. As a model of computation, we use a popular formal model of computation, hierarchical FSM (HFSM) with synchronous dataflow (SDF) model, in short, HFSM-SDF model. In reconfigurable SoC design with HFSM-SDF model, the problem of configuration scheduling becomes challenging due to the dynamic behavior of the system such as concurrent execution of state transitions (by AND relation), complex control flow (HFSM), and complex schedules of SDF actor firing. This makes it hard to hide configuration latency efficiently with compile-time static configuration scheduling. To resolve the problem, it is necessary to know the exact order of required configurations during runtime and to perform runtime configuration scheduling. To obtain the exact order of configurations, we exploit the inherent property of HFSM-SDF that the execution order of SDF actors can be determined before executing the state transition of top FSM. After obtaining the order information and storing it in the ready configuration queue (ready CQ), we execute the state transition. During the execution, whenever there is FPGA resource available, a new configuration is selected from the ready CQ and fetched by the runtime configuration scheduler. We applied the method to an MPEG4 decoder and IS95 design and obtained up to 21.8% improvement in system runtime with a negligible overhead of memory usage.

This study presents a ready-to-use production planning and control (PP&C) system for the plastic extrusion industry of this country. From the view point of production management, the problems of the industry which are composed of small to midium size manufactures can be summarized as i) poor field data gathering ii) absence of systematic factory management. This study first attempts to devise a simple but useful field monitoring system. Then it presents a PP&C scheme that utilizes the special characteristics of plastic extrusion factory. Various algorithms for the scheme are devised. The resulting system is now realized and ready to implement.

This study is aimed at investigating and comparing the differences in the uniform of nurses according to regions and hospital size in Korea. This study takes two large regions as its survey area; one is Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi Province, and the other is Daejon and Chungcheong Province. The hospital size is divided into general hospitals and neighborhood hospitals. The survey was conducted among the nurses working in 12 randomly-selected hospitals and its statistical results are analysed firm 818 respondents'questionnaires. The results are divided into 3 categories as follows; 1) Results of analysis of survey on the uniform of nurses : Nurses usually wear two-piece suits and more than half of the hospitals choose a white-color pattern. And the nurse's uniform with color varying according to their position and ward is considered to be desirable; 2) Analysis on regional differences : In the case of Daejon and Chungcheong Province, there is a relatively high ratio of respondents who answered questions with 'high percentage of young nurses', 'position differentiation by means of different design and fabric according to ward'. In case of Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi Province, questions with 'use of a patterned textile in nurses'uniform', 'ready-made size system'are higher; 3) Analysis of the differences in accordance with hospital size : In the case of general hospitals, there is relatively a high ratio of respondents who answered questions with 'use of different design and fabric according to a nurse's position', 'use of patterns in nurses'uniform'. In the case of neighborhood hospitals, there is a high ratio of respondents with'use of classical one-piece or two-piece type wear', 'ready-made type size system', 'obligatory use off nurse's cap'.

In this study, the experiment was carried out to investigate and analyze the ready-mixed concrete production of ultra-high strength concrete with mixing strength of $100N/mm^2$ according to types of mineral admixtures. The main experimental variables were water/binder ratio $25.0\%$, water content $160kg/m^3$ and mineral admixtures such as fly ash, silica fume and meta kaolin. According to the test results, the principle conclusions are summarized as follows. 1) even if it secures similar slump, the viscosity appear to difference by mixing condition relatively. 2) The autogeneous shrinkage of ultra-high strength concrete is profitable that use admixture, and heat of hydration is desirable that apply considering countermeasure enough in the advance. 3) The concrete that use SF10+MK10 on 56days could confirm that it is possible that achieve compressive strength more than $100N/mm^2$ under mixing conditions that is appearing by compressive strength $102.7N/mm^2$.

Since ready-to-use (RTU) products are not fully cooked, the shelf-life of the product is comparably short and the products are easily spoiled when contaminated with food-borne pathogens. Low-dose gamma irradiation of 0.5, 1, or 2 kGy effectively reduced the total aerobic bacterial counts in 2 Korean manufactured RTU products by 1.63 to 2.95 log CFU/g during cold storage. Irradiation at 2 kGy reduced the psychrotrophic bacterial counts in most of the samples to below the limit of detection (< log CFU/g). Irradiation at 0.5 kGy completely eliminated Escherichia coli from the commercial RTU samples.

It is a common tool to use alphanumeric displays on CRT for documentation, search, and communication. So, it is very important to design ergonomic displays for enhancing user performance. This paper concerns with a method of quantifing the four VDT design parameters such as total density, local density, grouping and layout complexity. A case study to demonstrate the pocedure of quantifing parameters and a comparative analysis between the ready made and the newly designed displays are provided in this paper. Concludingly, ergonomic displays which were designed in accordance with the scientific procedure were much more better than the ready made exampled displays in both of processing time and error rate.

Most of embedded systems have been developed practically based on the PC platform equipped with Intel x86 CPU since it is able to reduce the total time for product development and improve the reliability of product by making use of a variety of solutions developed for a long time in the PC environment. Also, embedded systems based on PC-platform mainly use a high-capacity hard disk as data storage device for applications intending to store multimedia data. Recently, while the capacity of hard disk is increasing rapidly, the start-up ready time of hard disk is growing longer more than 30 seconds. The lengthened start-up ready time may delay the booting time of embedded system seriously, weighting users down with inconvenience. This paper proposes the refined system architecture and the dynamic IDE device probing method for fast booting of linux kernel in the embedded system based on PC platform with high-capacity hard disks, and the performance of proposed methods is evaluated and presented.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been growing interests in metaverse technology and social use of virtual reality platforms in non-face-to-face environments, but social issues and ethical concerns raised by metaverse have not been sufficiently discussed. In this paper, we discuss the social functions of the metaverse by examining the movie 'Ready Player One', and investigate the ethical problems that may arise in various implementation of metaverse. We identify the potential ethical problems that could occur in the context of metaverse including identity fragmentation, metaverse violence and crime, and mismanagement of personal information. We also propose some promising approaches to tackle these ethical problems ranging over descriptive ethics, normative ethics, and analytical (meta) ethics.

The use of MPSoC has been increasing because of a rise of use of mobile devices and complex applications. For improving the performance of MPSoC, number of processor has been increasing. Standard MPI is used for efficiently sending data in distributed memory architecture that has advantage in multi processor. Standard In this paper, we propose a scalable distributed memory system with a low cost hardware message passing interface(MPI). The proposed architecture improves transfer rate with buffered send for small size packet. Three queues, Ready Queue, Request Queue, and Reservation Queue, work as previous architecture, and two queues, Small Ready Queue and Small Request Queue, are added to send small size packet. When the critical point is set 8 bytes, the proposed architecture takes more than 2 times the performance improvement in the data that below the critical point.
