  • According to the environment report of UN, korea was classified as potable water shortage countries. Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean. However, it is difficult to use for industry of residential purpose without a certain processing. The development of solar and waste-heat used absorption desalination technology have been examined as a viable option for supplying clean energy. In this study, the modelling of the main devices for solar and waste-heat used and adsorption desalination system was introduced. The design is divided into three parts. First, the evaporator for the vaporization of the top water is designed, and then the reactor for the adsorption and release of the steam is designed, followed by the condenser for the condensation of the fresh water is designed. In addition, new features based on the energy balance are also included to design absorption desalination system. In this basicresearch, One-bed(reactor) adsorption desalination plant that employ a low-temperature solar and waste energy was proposed and experimentally studied. The specific water yield is measured experimentally with respect to the time controlling parameters such as heat source temperatures, coolant temperatures, system switching and half-cycle operational times.

  • Much research has been conducted on location-based intelligent personal assistants that can understand a user's intention by learning the user's route model and then inferring the user's destinations and routes using data of GPS and other sensors in a smartphone. The intelligence of the location-based personal assistant is contingent on the accuracy and efficiency of the real-time predictions of the user's intended destinations and routes by processing movement information based on uncertain sensor data. We propose a robust particle filter based on Dynamic Bayesian Network model to infer the user's routes. The proposed robust particle filter includes a particle generator to supplement the incorrect and incomplete sensor information, an efficient switching function and an weight function to reduce the computation complexity as well as a resampler to enhance the accuracy of the particles. The proposed method improves the accuracy and efficiency of determining a user's routes and destinations.

  • In this study, a series of highly swelling hydrogels based on sodium alginate (NaAlg) and polymethacryl­amide (PMAM) was prepared through free radical polymerization. The graft copolymerization reaction was performed in a homogeneous medium and in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator and N,N'-methylenebis­acrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. The crosslinked graft copolymer, alginate-graft-polymethacrylamide (Alg-g­PMAM), was then partially hydrolyzed by NaOH solution to yield a hydrogel, hydrolyzed alginate-graft-poly­methacrylamide (H-Alg-g-PMAM). During alkaline hydrolysis, the carboxamide groups of Alg-g-PMAM were converted into hydrophilic carboxylate anions. Either the Alg-g-PMAM or the H-Alg-g-PMAM was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The effects of the grafting variables (i.e., concentration of MBA, MAM, and APS) and the alkaline hydrolysis conditions (i.e., NaOH concentration, hydrolysis time, and temperature) were optimized systematically to achieve a hydrogel having the maximum swelling capacity. Measurements of the absorbency in various aqueous salt solutions indicated that the swelling capacity decreased upon increasing the ionic strength of the swelling medium. This behavior could be attributed to a charge screening effect for monovalent cations, as well as ionic cross-linking for multivalent cations. Because of the high swelling capacity in salt solutions, however, the hydrogels might be considered as anti-salt superabsorbents. The swelling behavior of the superabsorbing hydrogels was also measured in solutions having values of pH ranging from 1 to 13. Furthermore, the pH reversibility and on/off switching behavior, measured at pH 2.0 and 8.0, suggested that the synthesized hydrogels were excellent candidates for the controlled delivery of bioactive agents. Finally, we performed preliminary investigations of the swelling kinetics of the synthesized hydrogels at various particle sizes.

  • In order to match the voltages between high voltage battery stacks and low voltage super-capacitors with a high conversion efficiency in hybrid energy sources electric vehicles (HESEVs), a high ratio bidirectional DC-DC converter with a synchronous rectification H-Bridge is proposed in this paper. The principles of high ratio step-down and step-up operations are analyzed. In terms of the bidirectional characteristic of the H-Bridge, the bidirectional synchronous rectification (SR) operation is presented without any extra hardware. Then the SR power switches can achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) turn-on and turn-off during dead time, and the power conversion efficiency is improved compared to that of the diode rectification (DR) operation, as well as the utilization of power switches. Experimental results show that the proposed converter can operate bidirectionally in the wide ratio range of 3~10, when the low voltage continuously varies between 15V and 50V. The maximum efficiencies are 94.1% in the Buck mode, and 93.6% in the Boost mode. In addition, the corresponding largest efficiency variations between SR and DR operations are 4.8% and 3.4%. This converter is suitable for use as a power interface between the battery stacks and super-capacitors in HESEVs.

  • MSC는 ITU에 의해 표준화된, 병행 시스템의 명세를 기술하기 위한 그래픽 형태와 텍스트 형태를 제공하는 언어로서 실시간 시스템 특히 통신 교환 시스템의 특성을 기술하기 위해 자주 사용된다. 통신 시스템이 제대로 동작함을 보이기 위해서는 정형적인 방법을 사용하여 시스템 행위를 검증할 필요가 있다. 통신 소프트웨어를 검증하는 방법 중 하나의 방법으로 유한 상태를 기반으로 하는 방법이 있다. 유한 상태를 기반으로 하는 방법에서는 먼저 시스템 명세에 해당하는 전체 상태 전이 그래프를 생성한 후 이를 바탕으로 model-checking 등의 방법을 사용하여 시스템의 특성을 검증한다. 본 논문에서는 MSC로 기술된 통신 소프트웨어 명세로부터 전체 상태 전이 그래프를 생성하는 방법에 초점을 맞추었다. 시스템 명세에 해당하는 상태 전이 그래프를 생성하기 위해 보다 직관적으로 MSC의 의미론을 표현할 수 있고, 또한 쉽게 전체 상태 전이 그래프를 생성할 수 있는 행위 종속 그래프를 제안하였다. MSC 명세는 일단 행위 종속 그래프로 변환이 되고 이 행위 종속 그래프를 이용하여 전체 상태 전이 그래프가 생성된다.Abstract Message Sequence Chart (MSC) standardized by International Telecommunication Union is a graphical and textual language for describing the specification of concurrent systems. It is frequently used both formally and informally for specifying the behavior of real-time systems, in particular telecommunication switching systems. To ensure that a communication system operates properly, the verification process showing the correctness of system's behavior formally is necessary. One of the verification methods is a finite-state method. In the finite-state method, the global state transition graph (GSTG) is constructed and then safety and liveness properties of systems are verified through a well-known method such as model checking. In this paper, we forcus on the construction of GSTG from the specifications of telecommunication software written in MSC. We suggest Action Dependency Graph (ADG) which can present the semantics of MSC intuitively and also provide a GSTG construction method from ADG. MSC specifications are translated to ADGs and, in turns, the GSTGs are constructed by using these ADGs.

  • CMOS used in digital circuit design technology has reached the limit of integration due to quantum tunneling. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), which can replace this, has many advantages such as low power consumption and fast switching speed, so many digital circuits of CMOS have been proposed based on QCA. Among them, the multiplexer is a basic circuit used in various circuits such as D-flip-flops and resistors, and has been studied a lot. However, the existing multiplexer has a disadvantage that space efficiency is not good. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new multilayered multiplexer using cell interaction and D-latch using it. The multiplexer and D-latch proposed in this paper have improved area, cell count, and delay time, and have excellent connectivity and scalability when designing large circuits. All proposed structures are simulated using QCADesigner to verify operation.

  • This paper is study on performance analysis of modulator using direct digital frequency synthesizer of Initial Clock Accumulating Method. It has been generally used for PLL or digital frequency synthesizing method to be synthesizd randomly chosen frequency state. In order to improve disadvantage of two methods, we constructed modulator system using DDFS of Initial Clock Accumulating Method. We also confirmed the coherence frequency hopping state and possibility of phase control. The results obtained from the experiments are as follows; First, the synthesized output frequency is proportional to the sampling frequency, according to index, K. Second, the difference of the gain between the basic frequency and the harmonic frequencies was more than 50 [dB], that is, this means facts that is reduced the harmonic frequency factor. Third, coherence frequency hopping state is confirmed by PN code sequence. Here, we confirmed the proposed method cut switching time, this verify facts that is the best characteristic of the frequency hopping. We also verified the fact that the phase varies as the adder is operated set or reset.

  • This work proposes an 8b 220 MS/s 230 mW 3-stage pipeline CMOS ADC with on-chip filers for temperature- and power- insensitive voltage references. The proposed RC low-pass filters improve switching noise performance and reduce reference settling time at heavy R & C loads without conventional off-chip large bypass capacitors. The prototype ABC fabricated in a 0.25 um CMOS occupies the active die area of 2.25 $\textrm{mm}^2$ and shows the measured DNL and INL of maximum 0.43 LSB and 0.82 LSB, respectively. The ADC maintains the SNDR of 43 dB and 41 dB up to the 110 MHz input at 200 MS/s and 220 MS/s, respectively, while the SNDR at the 500 MHz input is degraded as much as only 3 dB than the SNDR at the 110 MHz input.
