This paper describes an efficient design of a multi-standard Viterbi decoder that supports multiple constraint lengths and code rates. The Viterbi decode. is parameterized for the code rates 1/2, 1/3 and constraint lengths 7, 9, thus it has four operation modes. In order to achieve low hardware complexity and low power, an efficient architecture based on hardware sharing techniques is devised. Also, the optimization of ACCS (Accumulate-Subtract) circuit for the one-point trace-back algorithm reduces its area by about 35% compared to the full parallel ACCS circuit. The parameterized Viterbi decoder core has 79,818 gates and 25,600 bits memory, and the estimated throughput is about 105 Mbps at 70 MHz clock frequency.

In mobile communications, it is very important that we predict the propagation environments of radiation pattern, in order to decide the service area, select the best location of the best station, design the cell etc. Therefore, by analyzing the propagation prediction model that is varied according to the kind of antenna, the beam angle, the terrain and obstacles, we expect that the economic operating of communication networks, the calling quality and the service of subscriber will be enhanced. In this paper, we select the around of Seji base station in Naju-city Chonnam for modern suburban area and measure the field strength to propose the optimal propagation prediction model for suburban areas. We propose the propagation prediction model that, it is not found in the other models until now, consists of the correction coefficient with the relative differences of antenna effective height of the base station and mobile station for minimizing errors. Finally, comparing the results of the field test with the computer simulation(PPGIS : Propagation Prediction Geographic Information System) results for the Hata model, the Egri model, the Carey model and the propose model, we confirm the property of the proposed model.

The accuracy of point load apparatus is depend on point to point coaxial fitting. Also, the estimation of applied point load using the pressure gauge frequently lead to erroneous results. An improved point load apparatus has been developed in this study by mounting linear bearing on polished support rod, and eccentric error of point to point axis has been sustained less than 0.1 mm even under series of extreme work load conditions. Two digital displacement gauges are attached to measure the distance from point to point with sample specimen. A load cell mounted at the end of upper conical platen measure the applied net load on sample instead of preassure gauge. Total of 107 point load tests has been achieved to assure the quality and performance of developed apparatus. This exercise turned out to be successful.

This paper describes a hardware design of hash function processor which implements Korean Hash Algorithm Standard HAS-160. The HAS-160 processor compresses a message with arbitrary lengths into a hash code with a fixed length of 160-bit. To achieve high-speed operation with small-area, arithmetic operation for step-operation is implemented by using a hybrid structure of 5:3 and 3:2 carry-save adders and carry-select adder. It computes a 160-bit hash code from a message block of 512 bits in 82 clock cycles, and has 312 Mbps throughput at 50 MHz@3.3-V clock frequency. The designed HAS-160 processor is verified by FPGA implementation, and it has 17,600 gates on a layout area of about $1\;mm^2$ using a 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS cell library.

In order to further elucidate the process of electron solvation in liquids, the medium effect, as the difference between the free energy of $H^+$ in aqueous and non-aqueous states (${\Delta}{\Delta}G_0$), of THF-water mixtures has been investigated. (${\Delta}{\Delta}G_0$) were determined by electromotive force masurements of the cell Pt$H_2Q$, Q, HCI, THF, $H_2O$|KC1 | $Hg_2Cl_2$|Hg(Pt), where $H_2Q$ and Q are hydroquinone and quinone respectively. The effect of dielectric constant on the difference of free energy and the absorption energy of solvated electrons have been studied. For the consideration of these effect the polymerization of water in THF has been studied. Near infrared spectrum of O-H stetching energy has been used to measure the extent of water aggregates. The expermental results indicate that at least in some composition of binary mixtures the electrons or other ions are solvated preferentially with one component of solvents.

Saline water electrolysis, known as chlor-alkali (CA) membrane process, is an electrochemical process to generate valued chemicals such as chlorine, hydrogen and sodium hydroxide with high purities higher than 99%, using an electrolytic cell composed of cation exchange membrane, anode and cathode. It is necessary to reduce energy consumption per a unit chemical production. This issue can be solved by decreasing intrinsic resistance of the membrane and the electrodes and/or by reducing their interfacial resistance. In this study, the electron radiation grafting of a $Na^+$ ion-selective polymer was conducted onto a hydrocarbon sulfonated ionomer membrane with high chemical resistance. This approach was effective in improving electrochemical efficiency via the synergistic effect of relatively fast $Na^+$ ion conduction and reduced interfacial resistance.

The current test procedure for transfer length, which determine transfer length by measuring concrete strain, has an actual bond stress state in the prestressed pretensioned member : however, it is difficult to determine the bond properties of maximum bond stress and bond stiffness with this method. It is also difficult for design engineer to understand and select a correct safety criterion from the widely distributed results of such a ransfer test alone. An alternative testing procedure is provided here to determine the bond properties without measuring the concrete strain. In this test the bond stress is measured directly by creating a similar boundary condition within the transfer length in a real beam during the transfer of prestressing force. The prestressing force was released step by step by step from the unloading side. The release of force induces a swelling of the strand at the unloading side of concrete block, bonding force in the block, and a bond slip of the strand toward the other side of the block. Two center-hole load cells are used to record the end loads until the point of general bond slip(maximum bond stress). It is suggested that this test procedure be performed with the ordinary transfer test when determining the transfer length in a prestressed, pretensioned concrete beam.

This paper proposes a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) based dynamic transmission scheme in a downlink multi-ship network, where a central ship selects a ship in order to maximize the utility function. The proposed scheduling scheme dynamically decides to the usage of the coordinated multi transmissions and selects a user to be served for every frame, in order to the utility function on the basis of the throughput and fairness. In particular, the proposed utilify function based scheduling scheme aims to increase the quality of service of ships at the edge of cells. Under the proportional fair scheduling, the simulation results show that the proposed utility function-based scheduling improves the throughput of the ships at the cell edge with the little sacrifice of the system capacity.

In this paper, we present a method on the construction of multiple-valued circuits using Reed-Muller Expansions(RME). First, we discussed the input output interconnection of multiple valued function using Perfect Shuffle techniques and Kronecker product and designed the basic cells of performing the transform matrix and the reverse transform matrix of multiple valued RME using addition circuit and multiplication circuit of GF(4). Using these basic cells and the input-output interconnection technique based on Perfect Shuffle and Kronecker product, we implemented the multiple valued logic circuit based on RME. The proposed design method of multiple valued RME is simple and very efficient to reduce addition circuits and multiplication circuits as compared with other methods for same function because of using matrix transform based on modular structures. The proposed design method of multiple valued logic circuits is simple and regular for wire routing and possess the properties of concurrency and modularity of array.

We fabricated the 4 channel wave function generator with variable frequency, pulse width, amplitude and rising/falling slope to develop driving method of charged particle type display. The selective sell driving is ascertained by fabricated panel with black and yellow particles. To measure CIE point, reflectivity, contrast ratio and viewing angle, experimental apparatus is integrated with optical circular$(1^{\circ})$ moving emitting/receiving part and spectrometer connected to emitting part. The yellow particles in glass have reflectivity of $35{\sim}40%$ and wavelength of 571.2nm and black one has reflectivity of $15{\sim}20%$ in case of only 1 layer of particle, and the case of 3 layer the optical property is promoted.
