In this paper, a digital image compression codec using 2D DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) is designed using the FPGA technology for real time operation The implemented image compression codec using wavelet decomposition consists of a wavelet kernel part for wavelet filtering process, a quantizer/huffman coder for quantization and huffman encoding of wavelet coefficients, a memory controller for interface with external memories, a input interface to process image pixels from A/D converter, a output interface for reconstructing huffman codes, which has irregular bit size, into 32-bit data having regular size data, a memory-kernel buffer to arrage data for real time process, a PCI interface part, and some modules for setting timing between each modules. Since the memory mapping method which converts read process of column-direction into read process of the row-direction is used, the read process in the vertical-direction wavelet decomposition is very efficiently processed. Global operation of wavelet codec is synchronized with the field signal of A/D converter. The global hardware process pipeline operation as the unit of field and each field and each field operation is classified as decomposition levels of wavelet transform. The implemented hardware used FPGA hardware resource of 11119(45%) LAB and 28352(9％) ESB in FPGA device of APEX20KC EP20k600CB652-7 and mapped into one FPGA without additional external logic. Also it can process 33 frames(66 fields) per second, so real-time image compression is possible.

we have demonstrated structural evolution and optical properties of Si-nanowires (NWs) synthesized on Si (111) substrates with nanoscale Au-Si islands by rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD). The Au-Si nano-islands (10-50nm in diameter) were employed as a liquid-droplet catalysis to grow Si-NWs via vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. The Si-NWs were grown by a mixture gas of SiH4 and H2 at a pressure of 1.0 Torr and temperatures of $500{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. Scanning electron microscopy measurements showed that the Si-NWs are uniformly sized and vertically well-aligned along <111> direction on Si (111) surfaces. The resulting NWs are ${\sim}60nm$ in average diameter and ${\sim}5um$ in average length. High resolution transmission microscopy measurements indicated that the NWs are single crystals covered with amorphous SiOx layers of ${\sim}3nm$ thickness. In addition, the optical properties of the NWs were investigated by micro-Raman spectroscopy. The downshift and asymmetric broadening of the Si main optical phonon peak were observed in Raman spectra of Si-NWs, which indicates a minute stress effects on Raman spectra due to a slight lattice distortion led by lattice expansion of Si-NW structures.

최근, nanorod나 nanowire와 같은 1차원의 나노구조가 나노디바이스로 각광을 받고 있다. [1] 특히 InN는 3족 질화물 반도체 중 가장 작은 밴드갭 에너지와 뛰어난 수송 특성을 가지고 있어 나노디바이스로의 응용에 적합한 물질이다. [2] 그러나 InN는 큰 평형증기압을 가지므로 쉽게 인듐과 질소로 분해되는 특성이 있어 나노구조로의 성장이 쉽지 않음이 알려져 있다. [3] 최근 연구결과에 따르면, InN 나노구조는 금속 catalyst를 사용한 방법이나, 기판 위 패턴을 이용하여 성장하는 방법, 염소를 사용한 방법이 널리 쓰이고 있다. [4,5,6] 그러나 이 방법들은 의도치 않은 불순물의 원인이 되거나 다른 추가적인 과정을 필요로 한다는 문제점도 일부 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 catalyst-free 유기 금속 화학 증착법 (MOCVD)를 이용하여 $Al_2O_3$ (0001)면 위에 InN nanostructure를 성장하였다. InN nanostructure 성장 시 트리메틸인듐(TMIn)과 암모니아($NH_3$) 를 전구체로 사용하였으며, 캐리어 가스로는 질소를 사용하였다. 또한 모든 샘플의 성장시간은 60분으로 고정하였으나, 성장 시 온도의 의존성을 보기 위해 $680-710^{\circ}C$ 의 온도범위에서 성장을 진행하였다. 그 결과 InN는 본 실험에서 적용된 성장온도범위 내에서 온도가 증가함에 따라 초기에는 columnar구조로 성장된 박막의 형태에서 wall이 배열된 형태로 변화하며 결국 $710^{\circ}C$ 의 온도에서 nanorod로 성장하게 된다. 성장된 InN의 나노구조는 X-선 회절 측정법, 주사 전자 현미경 그리고 투과 전자 현미경을 이용하여 각각의 구조적 특성을 분석하였다. X-선 회절 측정법과 주사 전자 현미경을 통한 분석결과에서는 이들 nanorods가 대부분 c 방향으로 수직하게 정렬되어 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한, $690^{\circ}C$ 에서 60분간 성장된 InN의 wall 구조의 두께는 200 nm, 길이는 $2-2.5\;{\mu}m$로 관찰되었으며, $710^{\circ}C$에서 60분간 성장된 InN nanorod의 지름은 150 nm, 길이는 $3\;{\mu}m$ 정도로 관찰되었다. 이를 통하여 볼 때 성장 온도가 InN의 나노구조 형성 시 표면의 모폴로지변화에 중요한 변수로 작용함을 알 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 이러한 표면 형상 및 구조 변화가 성장온도에 따른 관계성을 가짐을 InN의 분해와 성장의 경쟁적인 관계에 의해 논의할 것이다.

We have demonstrated structural evolution and optical properties of the Si-NWs on Si (111) substrates with synthesized nanoscale Au-Si islands by rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition(RTCVD). Au nano-islands (10-50nm in diameter) were employed as a liquid-droplet catalysis to grow Si-NWs via vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. Si-NWs were grown by a mixture gas of $SiH_4\;and\;H_2$ at pressures of $0.1{\sim}1.0$Torr and temperatures of $450{\sim}650^{\circ}C$. SEM measurements showed the formation of Si-NWs well-aligned vertically for Si (111) surfaces. The resulting NWs are 30-100nm in diameter and $0.4{\sim}12um$ in length depending on growth conditions. HR-TEM measurements indicated that Si-NWs are single crystals convered with about 3nm thick layers of amorphous oxide. In addition, optical properties of NWs were investigated by micro-Raman spectroscopy. The downshift and asymmetric broadening of the Si optical phonon peak with a shoulder at $480cm^{-1}$ were observed in Raman spectra of Si-NWs.

In this paper, we have proposed a magnetic resonant 6.78MHz WPT(wireless power transfer) technique which can be applied to a fixed transmitter and a receiver of varying relative distance and coil alignment, Power transmission characteristics are studied with the relative distance and misalignment ration of coil area between the transmitting and receiving coils. The coils are designed with the size of 60×80mm² by direct feeding method, and the characteristics are derived with the maximum relative distance of 50mm and horizontal area misalignment state of 0-40mm misalignment of coil center axis in the XY plane. The power transmission characteristics are compared between the 3D EM simulation and the measured data, and the power transmission shows larger than -3dB performance with the vertical distance of up to 30mm and 50% area misalignmment ratio. This work showsthe transmission characteristics according to relative distance and misalignment state between the cols and that direct feeding has advantage for the short relative distance and small misalignment ratio.

Through the crystal alignment research based on the magnetic properties of LiNi_xMn_yCo_1-(x+y)O₂ such as magnetic susceptibility and related anisotropy, a crystal aligned LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ electrode is obtained, in which the (00l) plane is frequently oriented perpendicular to the surface of a current collector. The crystal aligned LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ electrode steadily exhibits low electrode polarization properties during the charge/discharge process in a lithium-ion battery, thus affording an improved capacity compared to a pristine LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ electrode. The aligned LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ electrode may have an appropriate structural nature for fast lithium-ion transport due to the oriented (00l) plane, and thus it contributes to enhancing the battery performance. This enhancement is analyzed in terms of various electrochemical theories and experiment results; thus, it is verified to occur because of the considerably fast lithium-ion transport in the aligned LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ electrode.

We examine the spectral characteristics of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSSs) formed on an amorphous silicon film irradiated by a 355-nm nanosecond laser. A Gaussian beam with a diameter of 196 ㎛ is used to perform a two-dimensional raster scan. The laser's pulse number is varied from 190 to 280, and its intensity is adjusted within 100-130 mJ/cm². LIPSSs with a periodicity of approximately 330 nm form on the surface of the Si film, aligned perpendicular to the laser's polarization. Transmission spectra of the samples show dips around 700 nm for transverse electric polarization and around 500 nm for transverse magnetic polarization. The features are investigated with a one-dimensional-grating model using a rigorous coupled-wave analysis. Simulations confirm that the observed dips are due to the resonant modes, depending on the polarization.

System support is a facility that is temporarily installed to support vertical loads at construction sites, and is assembled and installed by reused individual members. These characteristics are likely to lead to poor performance of installed system supports, and even though it is institutionalized to check structural safety at the their design phase, accidents continue to occur at the construction site. Accordingly, safety management of system support is implemented through various institutional methods, but the current system does not consider the performance degradation of temporary facilities due to the reuse of individual temporary members. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify the performance of assembled system support. In order to do achieve this purpose, the authors divided individual system supports into unused and used groups and performed compression performance test with defined models assembled with those two groups of system supports. The results of this study are expected to be meaningful as a research case that can quantitatively evaluate safety systems and standards for the performance of existing temporary facilities and suggest directions for improving the safety management system of temporary facilities in the future.
