This paper describes a design of digital PWM controller for automotive brake solenoid valve which is used in ABS/ESC SoC. The PWM controller which consists of 12 channels supports both direct control and PI control. Six channels in direct control mode make consistent PWM signals according to duty ratio setting, and the others in PI control mode make PWM signals with constant current depending on current setting. The PWM controller also has functions including solenoid valve open detection, Dither and PWM phase shift. The PWM controller having 44,779 gates is fabricated using a 0.18um CMOS process, and test results show that all the functions are correct.

The dropout of university freshmen is a very important issue in the financial problems of universities. Moreover, the dropout rate is one of the important indicators among the external evaluation items of universities. Therefore, universities need to predict dropout students in advance and apply various dropout prevention programs targeting them. This paper proposes a method to predict such dropout students in advance. This paper is about a method for predicting dropout students. It proposes a method to select dropouts by applying logistic regression using a shift sigmoid classification function using only quantitative data from the first semester of the first year, which most universities have. It is based on logistic regression and can select the number of prediction subjects and prediction accuracy by using the shift sigmoid function as an classification function. As a result of the experiment, when the proposed algorithm was applied, the number of predicted dropout subjects varied from 100% to 20% compared to the actual number of dropout subjects, and it was found to have a prediction accuracy of 75% to 98%.

In this paper, the implementation of high throughput two-dimensional (2-D) $8{\times}8$ forward and inverse integer DCT transform for H.264 is presented. The forward and inverse transforms are represented using simple shift and addition operations. Matrix decomposition and matrix operation such as the Kronecker product and direct sum are used to reduce the computation complexity. The proposed design uses integer computations and does not use transpose memory and hence, the resource consumption is also reduced. The maximum operating frequency of the proposed pipelined architecture is 1.184 GHz, which achieves 25.27 Gpixels/sec throughput rate with the hardware cost of 44864 gates. High throughput and low hardware makes the proposed design useful for real time H.264/AVC high definition processing.

In the electric railway vehicles, securing stable current collection performance is an important factor which determines the quality of operation and the maximum speed. In order to predict such current collection performance, various analysis methods have been proposed for a long time. Also, investigations for improving the accuracy of the results and the efficiency of the analysis process have been performed. In this paper, a method for the efficiency improvement has been proposed. This method is based on the basic concept that the system equations of motion of a catenary numerical model include only interactive range with a pantograph. In this paper, an algorithm and generalized process for applying proposed method are introduced. Also, validity of the results and utility of the method was verified and studied.

For application to micro fluid control systems such as ${\mu}TAS$ (Micro Total Analysis Systems) and DDS (Drug Delivery Systems), it is very significant to handle precise and minute flow rates with low pressure pulsation. In this study, a novel valveless piezoelectric pump using peristaltic motion with three disk type PZT actuators is presented. The newly devised pump with an effective size of $70mm{\times}60mm{\times}55mm$ has three actuator layers connected in series from inlet to outlet. The PZT actuator has a maximum displacement of 240 ${\mu}m$ and a maximum force of 1.6 N. When the driving voltage for PZT actuators is sequentially applied with a certain phase shift, the pumping is performed by peristaltic motion of liquid volume. The working fluid is shut off without the driving voltage. Three methods for sequential driving are proposed and experimentally investigated. First and second methods utilize an intermittent sinusoidal waveform with phase shift of $90{\circ}\;and\;120^{\circ}$, respectively. Third method uses a rectangular waveform with phase shift of $90^{\circ}$. A controller with multi-phase shifter is designed and fabricated. Then, frequency and voltage-flow rate characteristics and load pressure-flow rate characteristics are experimentally investigated to verify the validity of the developed pump.

Amino acid sequence alignment shows that $\underline{P}$roteus $\underline{m}$irabilis $\underline{t}$ranscription $\underline{r}$egulator (PMTR) has cystein sequence homology at metal binding domain to CueR (copper resistance) protein, which conserves two cysteins (Cys 112 and Cys 120 in PMTR). Gel shift assay revealed that PMTR protein bound to promoter region of Escherichia coli copA (copper-translocating P-type ATPase) and Proteus mirabilis atpase (putative copper-translocating P-type ATPase) genes except that of E. coli zntA (zinc-translocating P-type ATPase) gene. DNase I protection experiment indicated that PMTR protein protected the region over -35 box and close to -10 box. DNase I hypersensitive bases were shown at C and A bases of labeled template strand and at G and C bases of labeled non-template strand of DNA. These hypersensitive bases were appeared in other metalloregulatory proteins of MerR family, which suggests protein-induced DNA bending.

This thesis proposes a design algorithm of an efficient space response compactor for Built-In Self-Testing of VLSI circuits. The proposed design algorithm of space compactors can be applied independently from the structure of Circuit Cnder Test. There are high hardware overhead cost in conventional space response compactors and the fault coverage is reduced by aliasing which maps faulty circuit's response to fault-free one. However, the proposed method designs space response compactors with reduced hardware overheads and does not reduce the fault coverage comparing to conventional method. Also, the proposed method can be extended to general N -input logic gate and design the most efficient space response L'Ompactors according to the characteristies of output sequence from CUT. The prolxlsed design algorithm is implemented by C language on a SUN SPARC Workstation, and some experiment results of the simulation applied to ISCAS'85 benchmark circuits with pseudo random patterns generated bv LFSR( Linear Feedback Shift Register) show the efficiency and validity of the proposed design algorithm.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of design parameters of modulating valve and hydraulic clutch on the shift quality of a power shuttle transmission using a computer simulation. Computer simulation models of a hydraulic control system and a power shuttle drive train were developed and verified by an experimental power train in a laboratory. The software EASY5 was used for the modeling and simulation of the power shuttle transmission. Results of the study were summarized as follows: For a good shift quality. it is required to reduce the transient torque transmitted to the output shaft of the transmission as much as possible. This may be achieved by reducing the modulating time and clutch pressure. It was found that the design parameters most significantly affecting the modulating time and clutch pressure were the spring constant and displacement of a load piston of the modulating valve, and the spring constant and damping of the clutch piston. The modulating time decreased as the spring constant increased and increased as the displacement of the load piston decreased. The transient torque decreased as the modulating time increased. However their relationships were not always linear. As the damping decreased, both the modulating pressure and time decreased, which also resulted in a decrease in the transient torque. The spring constant of the clutch piston affected the modulating time and the peak transient torque. As the spring constant of the clutch increased, the peak transient torque decreased.
