The development of CMOS IC chip and external system with optical transmission sytem is proposed in this paper, which deal with 4 subject 4 channel biological signals, receive and transmit biological signals to the external system using LED and infrared light of photodiode. This system decreases the dependency of power supply voltage to the COMS IC chip. A newenforce synchronization technique using infrared bi-directional communication has ben proposed. The telemetner IC with the size of $5.1{\times}5.1mm^2$ has the followingfunctions:receiving of command signal, initialization of internal state of all functional blocks, decoding of subject selection signal, time division multiplexing of 4-channel modulated biological signals, transmission of modulated signals to external system, and auto power down control. To confirm the total telemetry system, electrocardogram is transmitted and received to the external system using optical link.

This paper is the part II of research results on the performance evaluation of fully interconnected ATM switch, and includes the performance evaluation results for bursty traffic and nonuniform distribution. The switch model is a fyully interconnected switch type proposed by ETRI and is the proper architecutre for a small-sized switch element. The proposed switch consists of two steps of buffering scheme in the switch fabric in order to effectively absorb the effect of bursty nature of ATM traffic. The switch uses bit addressing method for addressing shcmeme and thus it is easy to implement multicasting function without adding additional functional block. In order to incorporate the bursty nature of traffic in ATM networks, we use IBP(Interrupted Bernoulli Process) model as an input traffic model as well as random traffic model which has been used as a traditional traffic model. In order to design the various scenarios for simulation, we considered both uniform and nonuniform output distribution, and also implemented multicast function. In this paper, we presented the simulation results in diverse environments and evaluated the performance of the switch.

Turbo codes are selected as FEC(Forward error correction) codes with convolution code in 3GFP(3rd generation partnership project) and 3GPP2 standard of IMT2000. Especially, l/3 turbo code with K=4 is employed for 3GPP standard. In this paper, we proposed a hardware structure of a turbo decoder and denveloped the decoder for 3GPP standard turbo code. For its efficient operation, we design a SOVA decoder by employing a register exchange decoding block and new path metric normalization block as a SISO constituent decoder. In addition, we estimate its performance under MATLAB 6.0 and designed the turbo decoder including control block, input control buffer, SOVA constituent decoder with VHDL. Finally, we synthesized the developed turbo decoder under Synopsys FPGA Express and verified it with ALTERA EPF200SRC240-3 FPGA device.

A forward error correction (FEC) coding techniques is one of time diversity techniques with which the effect of channel impairments due to noise and fading are spreaded over independently, and thus the performance could be improved. Therefore, the performance of the FEC scheme can be maximized if we minimize the correlation of channel information across over a codeword. In this paper, we propose a block turbo code with the maximized time diversity effect which may be reduced due to utilization of high order modulation schemes and due to transmission over a comparatively fast fading environment. Especially, we propose a very simple formula to calculate the address of coded bit allocation, and thus we do not need any additional outer interleavers, i.e., inter-codeword interleavers. The simulation resuts investigated in this paper reveal that the proposed scheme can provide the performance gain of more than a few decibels compared to the conventional schemes.

Modular toys for creative education require functional blocks to create various types of movements. An active drive module and a lot of passive connection blocks are needed to express motion with combination. In this paper, we propose the design of modular toys to produce various creative movements and controller structure working with them. In order to facilitate the connection between the designed modules, a connection method and a suitable mechanism are suggested. We also dealt with the design of various types of sensor modules that can work in conjunction with modular toys. Using these toys, typical standard application form that can be imitated educationally is suggested and showed the usefulness of the modular toy by actually applying it with designed modules and components. The proposed method is applied to actual educational toys, and the operation is effectively performed by recording operation and playing repetitive operation.

The development of railway roadbed for 600km/h train speed level is very difficult because unpredictable static and dynamic interaction occurs between the ultra-high speed train and the infrastructure. Especially, an earthwork-bridge transition zone is a section in which influential factors react, such as bearing capacity, compression, settlement, drainage, and track irregularity; these interactions can include complicated dynamic interaction. Therefore, if static and dynamic stability are secured in transition zones, it is possible to develop roadbeds for ultra-high speed railways. In the present paper, design parameters for transition reinforcement applied to present railway design criteria are analytically examined for ultra-high speed usage on a preferential basis. Design parameters are the presence of reinforcing materials, geometric shape, stiffness of materials, and so on. Analysis is focused on the deformation response of the track and running stability at ultra-high speed.

Materials that can be use in CAD/CAM are composite, ceramic, hybrid and metal. Among the available materials, monolithic ceramic technique which is the manufacturing technique using one type of the materials is mainly used in a dental office. It is the technique where final tooth-shaped prostheses are made from the material block and used after polishing or applying heat and that does not require traditional ceramic build-up process. Although shot of esthetic quality, because manufactured within 1 hour the monolithic ceramic technique has advantages such as that treatment can be completed in one day and in one time visit, that stability of the material is high because there are low possibility of distort by not melting and phase transformation, and that it can be easily worked in the office with computer assisted devices. We classified the materials that can be used in this technique based on their generations from clinical stand point.

It is required that a developed control system should be verified using simulator in terms of functionality and reliability prior to application to a power plant that is a very critical facility in the industry. In this paper, the control model for turbine bypass system was developed for power plant simulator. In order to develop the control model for turbine bypass system, the tool that can be used to implement turbine bypass control logic was developed based on the turbine bypass control system manual. The developed tool was merged into the simulator development environment. The functionality of the developed tool was verified via the simulation based on the each function block specification. The HP turbine bypass pressure control logic was implemented using the developed tool and was integrated with process models and other control models such as boiler control model, turbine control model and boiler feed water pump turbine control model for 500 MW korean standard type fossil power plant. Finally, the validity of the developed control model was shown via simulation result under the integrated simulation environment.

GPS photogrammetry or the GPS/INS photogrammetry, which are based on the direct measurement of the projection centers and attitude at the moment of camera exposure time through loading the GPS receiver or INS in aircraft. Both photogrammetric methods can offer us to acquire the exterior orientation parameters with only minimum ground control points, even the ground control process could be completely skipped. Consequently, we can drastically reduce the time and cost for the mapping process. In this thesis, test flight was conducted in Suwon area to evaluate the performance of accuracy and efficiency through the analysis of results among the three photogrammetric methods, that is, traditional photogrammetry, GPS photogrammetry and GPS/INS photogrammetry. Test results shows that a large variety of advantages of GPS photogrammetry and GPS/INS photogrammetry against traditional photogrammetry is to be verified. Especially, the number of ground control points for the exterior orientation could be saved more than 70～80%, respectively.

Researches on the induced trench method using compressible materials such as clay, mud, straw have been performed to reduce the load acting on buried conduits under a high fill in USA and Canada. And in-situ tests on load reductionmethod using EPS block as a compressible inclusion have been performed in Japan and Norway. Using a EPS block as a compressible materials can have various benefits such as cost-effective design, enlargement of safety and easy construction of structure under high fills. This paper analyzes the arching material function of EPS which can result in reduction of earth pressure by arching effect in Corrugated Steel Pipe. A series of tests were conducted to evaluate the reduction of earth pressure on conduits using EPS. Based on field test it is found that the magnitude of vertical earth pressure on conduits was reduced to about 35∼40% compared with conventional flexible conduit systems.
