This paper presents a buffer insertion method for RLC-class interconnect structured as a sin91e line or a tree. First, a closed form expression for the interconnect delay of a CMOS buffer driving single RLC line is represented. This expression has been derived by the n-th power law for deep submicrometer technology and occurs to be within 9 percentage of maximal relative error in accuracy compared with the results of HSPICE simulation for various RLC loads. This paper proposes a closed form expression based on this for the buffer insertion of single RLC lines and the buffer sizing algorithms for RLC tree interconnects to optimize path delays. The proposed buffer insertion algorithms are applied to insert buffers for several interconnect trees with a 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology and the results are compared against those of HSPICE.

In this paper, we have proposed 3D shape reconstruction using superquadrics and single z-buffer Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) rendering algorithm. Superquadrics can obtain various 3D model using 11 parameters and both superquadrics and deformed-superquadrics play a role of primitives which are consisted of CSG tree. In addition, we defined some effective equations using z-buffer algorithm and stencil buffer for synthesizing 3D model. Using this proposed algorithm, we need not to consider the coordinate of each 3D model because we simply compare the depth value of 3D model.

As the noise canceler with a small processing delay increases the sampling frequency, a better-quality output can be obtained. For a single buffer, processing delay occurs because it is impossible to write new data while the processor is processing the data. When synthesizing with anti-noise and output signal, this processing delay creates additional buffering overhead to match the phase. In this paper, we propose an accelerator structure that minimizes processing delay and increases processing speed by alternately performing read and write operations using the Symmetric Even-Odd-buffer. In addition, we compare the structural differences between the two methods of noise cancellation (Fast Fourier Transform noise cancellation and adaptive Least Mean Square algorithm). As a result, using an Symmetric Even-Odd-buffer the processing delay was reduced by 29.2% compared to a single buffer. The proposed Symmetric Even-Odd-buffer structure has the advantage that it can be applied to various canceling algorithms.

We have fabricated good quality superconducting YBa$_2$Cu$_3$$O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin films on Hastelloy(Ni-Cr-Mo alloys) metallic substrates with CeO$_2$and BaTiO$_3$buffer layers in-situ by pulsed laser deposition in a multi-target processing chamber. YBCO film with CeO$_2$single buffer layer shows T$_{c}$ of 71.64 K and the grain size less than 0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. When BaTiO$_3$ is used as a single buffer layer, the grain size of YBCO is observed to be larger than that of YBCO/CeO$_2$by 200 times and the transition temperature of the film is enhanced to be about 84 K. CeO$_2$/BaTiO$_3$double buffer layer has been adopted to enhance the superconducting properties, which results in the enhancement of the critical temperature and the critical current density to be about 85 K and 8.4$\times$10$^4$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 77 K, respectively mainly due to the enlargement of the grain size of YBCO film.ilm.

JIT(just-in-time) 생산시스템은 제조라인의 재공품 재고량을 최소화하고, 필요한 품목을 적시에 필요한 양만큼만 생산하여 공급하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이러한 시스템은 사용하는 칸반의 수에 따라 single-card kanban system과 two-card kanban system으로 구별할 수 있다. 또한 각 공정이 입력버퍼(input buffer)와 출력버퍼(output buffer)를 갖는 경우와 공정간에 하나의 버퍼를 갖는 경우로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 기계간의 물류(material handling)가 필요한 시점에 즉시 이루어진다는 가정하에 기계간 버퍼가 하나이고, 그 버퍼의 용량이 1인 경우의 single-card kanban의 효율적인 운용방안을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 생산지시칸반의 회수시기를 적절히 조절하여 생산라인의 이용효율(utilization)을 극대화하고자 하는 것이다. 칸반회수시기 결정을 위한 상황분석의 범위를 10대의 기계로 제한하여 시뮬레이션에 의해 분석하였다. 기존의 칸반운영방식과 생산라인에서의 재고를 최소화하는 운영 알고리듬, 그리고 생산기계의 효율을 최대화할 수 있는 운영 알고리듬을 개발하여 비교.분석하였다.

In WDM networt a WDM buffer is one of essential elements for realizing all-optical packet switching system. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a single loop type all-optical WDM buffer system. The proposed one consists of NOLM and feedback loop, and provides more than 40 turns buffering (more than 20${\mu}\textrm{s}$) for single input pulse (1550nm, width: 20㎱) before selected by control signal pulse (1553nm, width: 30㎱).

Simplification of the buffer architecture in the fabrication of coated conductors is required because the deposition of multi-layers leads to a longer production time and a higher cost of coated conductors. In this study, a single layered buffer deposition of $CeO_2$ for low cost coated conductors has been tried using thermal evaporation technique. l00nm-thick $CeO_2$ layers deposited by thermal evaporation were found to act as a diffusion layer. $0.4{\mu}m$-thick SmBCO superconducting layers were deposited by thermal co-evaporation on the $CeO_2$ buffered Ni-W substrate. Critical current of $55.4 A/cm^2$ was obtained for the SmBCO coated conductors.

This paper introduces two schemes to improve the frame buffer access bandwidth. The first scheme suggests a rasterizer called SBUFRE that has Span Z Buffer and Span Z＆ Color Buffer within a rasterizer. The second scheme suggests a ZDRAM that has Z-value comparator within the DRAM. These schemes are to convert read- modify-write Z buffer compare into single write only operation that improves approximately 50% frame buffer access bandwidth.

Multimedia communication systems require not only high-performance computer hardwares and high-speed networks, but also a buffer management mechanism to process many data efficiently. Two buffer handling methods, Push and Pull, are commonly used. In the Push method, a server controls the flow of dat to a client, while in the Pull method, a client controls the flow of data from a server. Those buffering schemes can be applied to the data transfer between the packet receiving buffer, which receives media data from a network server, and media playout devices, which play the recived media data. However, the buffer management mechanism in client-sides mainly support either one of the Push or the Pull method. Consequently, they have some limitations to support various media playout devices. Futhermore, even though some of them support both methods, it is difficult to use since they can't provide a unified structure. To resolved these problems, in this paper, we propose an efficient and flexible Push/Pull buffer management mechanism at client-side. The proposed buffer management scheme supports both Push and Pull method to provide various media playout devices and to support buffering function to absorb network jitter. The proposed scheme can support the various media playback devices using a single buffer space which in consequence, saves memory space compared to the case that a client keeps tow types of buffers. Moreover, it facilitates the single buffer as a mechanism for the absorbing network jitter effectively and efficiently. The proposed scheme has been implemented in an existing multimedia communication system, so called ISSA (Integrated Streaming Service Architecture), and it shows a good performance result compared to the conventional buffering methods in multimedia communication environments.

Social support may be a crucial aspect in single mothers' adjustment from the loss of spouse. Using a survey data collected from 285 widowed or divorced mothers, this study investigated whether social support buffers the deleterious effects of stress on psychological adjustment among poor single mothers. Results revealed that social support is not provided for at a desirable level. After controlling the single mothers' characteristics, stress in daily life, emotional support, job status and child relationship were associated with depression of them. It was also founded that emotional support buffer the negative effect of stress on depression of single mothers. Therefore, the support programs focused on emotional support are necessary for single mothers to enhance their mental health.
