Recently, many digital signal processing(DSP) applications such as H.264, CDMA and MP3 are predominant tasks for modern high-performance portable devices. These applications are generally computation-intensive, and therefore, require quite complicated accelerator units to improve performance. Designing such specialized, yet fixed DSP accelerators takes lots of effort. Therefore, DSPs with multiple accelerators often have a very poor time-to-market and an unacceptable area overhead. To avoid such long time-to-market and high-area overhead, dynamically reconfigurable DSP architectures have attracted a lot of attention lately. Dynamically reconfigurable DSPs typically employ a multi-functional DSP accelerator which executes similar, yet different multiple kinds of computations for DSP applications. With this type of dynamically reconfigurable DSP accelerators, the time to market reduces significantly. However, integrating multiple functionalities into a single IP often results in excessive control and area overhead. Therefore, delay and power consumption often turn out to be quite excessive. In this thesis, to reduce power consumption of dynamically reconfigurable IPs, we propose a novel fine-grained clock gating scheme, and to reduce size of dynamically reconfigurable IPs, we propose a compact multiplier-less multiplication unit where shifters and adders carry out constant multiplications.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the dynamic properties of DUS (damping-up system) composed of the materials with excellent damping capacity, and to compare with those of the conventional hangar bolt. The main parameters are the type and hardness (𝜂_H), of rubber and the prestress force (value converted from the compression strain (𝜂_R) in the stress-strain relationship of rubber). The dynamic properties were examined from the natural frequency (𝜔_n), maximum response acceleration (A_m), amplification coefficient (𝛼_p), maximum relative displacement (𝚫_m), and damping ratio (𝜉_D). The test results showed that the A_m, 𝛼_p, and 𝚫_m values of DUS were 46.3%, 46.6% and 62.9% lower, respectively, and the 𝜉_D value was 3.89 times higher, when compared to those of the conventional hangar bolt. In particular, the 𝛼_p value was 1.3 for DUS, and 2.45 for the conventional hanger bolt, which were similar to those of rigid and flexible components specified in KDS 41 17 00, respectively. Consequently, in the optimal details of DUS, the 𝜂_H values of 50 and 45 were required for the NR (natural rubber) and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), and the 𝜂_R value of 5% was also recommended.

This paper suggests that watermarking technique make use of Threshold Values and PN code for preservation of copyright. To protect copyright, six binary images that are generated by a Dynamic Threshold Value to LSB(least significant bit) of wavelet coefficient through wavelet conversion and watermark image use PN code to each frequency sphere-HL1, LH1, HL2, LH2, HL3, LH3, decide coordinates, operate XOR, and insert watermark. They put the sphere except from low frequency which has much image deterioration and high frequency which has weak loss compression in watermark. As an experimental result, we acquired watermark inserting image that has little image deterioration and extract watermark strongly.

CP(Counterpropagation) 알고리즘은 Kohonen의 경쟁 네트워크와 Grossberg의 아웃스타(outstar) 구조의 결합으로 이루어진 것으로 패턴 매칭, 패턴 분류, 통계적인 분석 및 데이터 압축 등 활용분야가 다양하고, 다른 신경망 모델에 비해 학습이 매우 빠르다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 CP 알고리즘은 충분한 경쟁층의 수가 설정되지 않아 경쟁층에서 학습이 불안정하고, 여권 코드와 같이 다양한 패턴으로 그성된 경우에는 패턴들을 정확히 분류할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 그리고 CP 알고리즘은 출력층에서 연결강도를 조정할 때, 학습률에 따라 학습 및 인식 성능이 좌우된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 패턴 인식 성능을 개선하기 위해 다수의 경쟁층을 설정하고, 입력 벡터와 숭자 뉴런의 대표 벡터간의 차이와 숭자 뉴런의 빈도수를 학습률 조정에 반영하여 학습률을 동적으로 조정하여 경쟁층에서 안정적으로 학습되도록 하고, 출력층의 연결강도 조정시 이전 연결 강도 변화량을 반영하는 모멘텀(momentum)학습법을 적용한 개선된 CP 알고리즘을 제안한다. 학습 성능을 확인하기 위해서 실제 여권에서 추출된 개별 코드를 대상으로 실험한 결과, 본 논문에서 개선한 CP 알고리즘이 기존의 CP 알고리즘보다 패턴 분류의 정확성과 인식 성능이 개선된 것을 확인하였다.

실험실에서의 파랑생성에 흔히 사용되는 피스톤형 조파장치는 수심에 따라 유속이 동일하게 생성된다는 제약이 있어 주로 천해파의 생성에 적합한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 제약조건 없이 다양한 유속분포의 파형을 생성하는 수직 다열화된 조파장치가 개발되었다. 우선, 수심방향으로 이산화된 각 패들(paddle)의 스트로크에 대해 선형해석해가 유도되었다. 개발된 해석해는 패들의 수 및 유속분포에 따라 기존의 피스톤형 혹은 플랩형 조파장치 해석해로 근사함이 밝혀짐으로써 포괄적으로 활용될 수 있음이 확인되었다. 즉 개발된 해석해를 활용하면 선택적으로 피스톤형 및 플랩형 조파성능이 구현될 수 있다. 더불어 개발된 해석해는 다상유체의 내부파 생성에도 확정되어 적용가능함이 확인되었다. 다음으로, 개발된 조파장치를 수치적으로 구현하였다. 오픈소스 3차원 수치모형인 OpenFOAM 중, 두 개 이상의 불연속 및 비압축 유체에 대한 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 해결하는 수치 모듈을 사용하여 제안된 수직다열화된 조파장치의 성능이 평가되었다. 이때 동적격자모델(olaDyMFlow)을 결합함으로써 개발된 조파장치 움직임이 물리적 조파장치와 흡사하도록 수치적으로 구현하였다. 모의결과, 여러 개의 다열화된 패들이 층류 흐름 조건에서 심해파를 효율적으로 생성시키고, 중간수심 파랑조건에서는 제안된 조파장치가 상대적으로 덜 유리함을 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 공기, 기름 및 물 등 3상의 흐름조건에서 단 두 개의 패들을 활용하여 각각 내부파 및 표면파를 생성하되었으며, 모의 결과는 해석해과 비교됨으로써 개발된 조파장치의 성능이 검증되었다.

The most significant difference of embedded systems from general purpose systems is that embedded systems are allowed to use only limited resources including battery and memory. Especially, the number of applications increases which deal with multimedia data. In those systems with high data computations, the delay of memory access is one of the major bottlenecks hurting the system performance. As a result, many researchers have investigated various techniques to reduce the memory access cost. Most programs generally have locality in memory references. Temporal locality of references means that a resource accessed at one point will be used again in the near future. Spatial locality of references is that likelihood of using a resource gets higher if resources near it were just accessed. The latest embedded processors usually adapt cache memory to exploit these two types of localities. Processors access faster cache memory than off-chip memory, reducing the latency. In this paper we will propose the enhanced dynamic allocation technique for structure-type data in order to eliminate unused memory space and to reduce both the cache miss rate and the application execution time. The proposed approach aggregates fields from multiple records dynamically allocated and consecutively remaps them on the memory space. Experiments on Olden benchmarks show $13.9\%$ L1 cache miss rate drop and $15.9\%$ L2 cache miss drop on average, compared to the previously proposed techniques. We also find execution time reduced by $10.9\%$ on average, compared to the previous work.

Peridynamics has been widely used in the dynamic fracture analysis of brittle materials. Recently, various crack patterns(compact region, floret, Hertz-type crack, etc.) of multilayered glass structures in experiments(Bless et al. 2010) were implemented with a bond-based peridynamic simulation(Bobaru et al.. 2012). The actual glass layers are bound with thin elastic interlayer material while the interlayer is missing from the peridynamic model used in the previous numerical study. In this study, the peridynamic interlayer modeling for the multilayered structures is proposed. It requires enormous computational time and memory to explicitly model very thin interlayer materials. Instead of explicit modeling, fictitious peridynamic particles are introduced for modeling interlayer materials. The computational efficiency and accuracy of the proposed peridynamic interlayer model are verified through numerical tests. Furthermore, preventing penetration scheme based on short-range interaction force is employed for the multilayered structure under compression and verified through parametric tests.

In this study, the rheological models were introduced and developed to reflect rate dependent tensile behaviour of concrete. In general, mechanical properties(e.g. strength, elasticity, and fracture energy) of concrete are increased under high loading rates. The strength of concrete shows high rate dependency among its mechanical properties, and the tensile strength has higher rate dependency than the compressional strength. To simulate the rate dependency of concrete, original spring set of RBSN(Rigid-Body- Spring-Network) model was adjusted with viscous and friction units(e.g. dashpot and Coulomb friction component). Three types of models( 1) visco-elastic, 2) visco-plastic, and 3) visco-elasto- plastic damage models) are considered, and the constitutive relationships for the models are derived. For validation purpose, direct tensile test were simulated, and characteristics of the three different rheological models were compared with experimental stress-strain responses. Simulation result of the developed visco-elasto-plastic damage(VEPD) model demonstrated well describing and fitting with experimental results.

From the time the product is manufactured until it is carried and ultimately used, the product is subjected to some form of handling and transportations. During this process, the product can be subjected to many potential hazards. One of them is the damage caused by shocks. In order to design a product-package system to protect the product, the peak acceleration or G force to the product that causes damage needs to be determined. When a corrugated fiberboard box loaded with products is dropped onto the ground, part of the energy acquired due to the action of the gravitational acceleration during the free fall is dissipated in the product and the package in various ways. The shock absorbing characteristics of the packaging cushion materials are presented as a family of cushion curves in which curves showing peak accelerations during impacts for a range of static loads are shown for several drop heights. The new method for determining the shock absorbing characteristics of cushioning materials for protective packaging has been described and demonstrated. It has been shown that cushion curves can be produced by combining the static compression and impact characteristics of the material. The dynamic factor was determined by the iterative least mean squares (ILMS) optimization technique in which the discrepancies between peak acceleration data predicted from the theoretical model and obtained from the impact tests are minimized. The approach enabled an efficient determination of cushion curves from a small number of experimental impact data.
