A 16-bit adiabatic low-power Microprocessor is designed. The processor consists of control block, multi-port register file, program counter, and ALU. An efficient four-phase clock generator is also designed to provide power clocks for adiabatic processor. Adiabatic circuits based on efficient charge recovery logic(ECRL), are designed 0.35,${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology. Conventional CMOS processor is also designed to compare the energy consumption of microprocessors. Simulation results show that the power consumption of the adiabatic microprocessor is reduced by a factor of 2.9∼3.1 compared to that of conventional CMOS microprocessor.

In this paper, we study the characteristics of parameters which are related to performance of MCTF which is a key technique for wavelet-based scalable video coding, and propose an improved MCTF method. The proposed MCTF method adopts the motion estimation of which motion vector field is distributed more uniformly using variable block sizes. By using the proposed method, the decomposition performance of temporal filter is improved, and the energy in high-frequency frames is reduced. It can help the entropy coder to generate lower bitrate. From simulation results, we verify the decomposed energy on high-frequency frame using the proposed method is reduced by 25.86% at the most in terms of variance of the high-frequency frame.

Rubber is one of the most commonly used materials in various fields because of its unique viscoelastic properties. Friction occurs when a tire constantly makes contact with the ground. As a result, friction causes wear. The frictional energy caused by friction is a primary factor in the wear mechanism. The frictional energy is affected by various conditions (temperature, roughness of ground, shape of rubber, load, and materials). In this study, the analysis was preceded by considering the vertical load and the horizontal velocity to the rubber using ABAQUS/explicit. The contact pressure, and friction energy are derived using the shear force and slip distance. The actual behavior of the rubber test data were compared with the analysis results.

DDA (Discontinuous Deformation Anlaysis) is one of the latest numerical analysis which has merits of both FEM and DEM. In this research a new edge-to-edge contact algorithm was applied on DDA. With adoption of new edge-to-edge contact state definition, sub-algorithm was improved about open-close iteration, contact state judge, contact detecting, and friction forces acting on joints. Newly applied DDA was verified based on two different cases. The DDA results show good agreement with numerically predicted one.

호안은 제방 및 저수로 하안을 강수와 유수에 의한 파괴와 침식작용에 대하여 직접 보호할 목적으로 설치하는 것이다. 최근에는 자연형.생태하천 등 하천의 친수성.경관.생태계의 보전.재생 등이 중요시 되면서 이런 기능을 가진 많은 호안공법들이 개발 및 시공되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 호안공법에 대한 홍수시의 수리적 안정성 검토 등의 기술적인 검토가 충분치 않은 실정이다. 따라서 호안공법이 적용된 호안에 대해 홍수시의 수리적 안정성에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 호안 조사결과 우리나라에서 가장 많은 시공사례가 있는 콘크리트 식생블록에 대해서 개수로 수리모형실험을 통하여 호안의 수리적 안정성을 분석하였다. 분석에 이용된 모형은 실제 하천에 많이 적용되고 있는 H형 식생블록을 1/10 축소모형을 제작하여 사용하였다. 호안경사 1:2에 대해 식생이 없는 경우, 식생이 0.08m, 0.04m 간격으로 있는 경우에 대해 유량을 변화시키면서 식생밀도에 따른 유속 저감 및 소류력 저감 효과에 대한 수리적 안정성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 호안경사 및 식생밀도는 호안부에서 흐름의 에너지 및 유속을 감소시키며, 식생이 없는 호안에 비해 식생이 있는 호안에서는 식생밀도가 증가함에 따라 소류력이 최대 62.24%까지 감소하였다. 호안부에서의 식생의 발달은 유속 및 소류력을 감소시켜 호안부의 안정화에 크게 기여하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Electric railroad systems consist of supply system of electric power and electric locomotive. The electric locomotive is adapted to high speed driving and mass transportation due to obtaining high traction force. The electric locomotive is operated by motor blocks and traction motors. Train speed is controlled by suppling power from motor blocks to traction motors according to reference speed. Speed control of the electric locomotive is efficient by spending minimum energy between motor blocks and traction motors. Recently, induction motors have been used than DC and synchronized motors as traction motors. Speed control of induction motors are used by vector control techniques. In this paper, speed of the induction motor is controlled by using the vector control technique. Control system model is presented by using Simulink. Pulse is controlled by PI and hysteresis controller. IGBT inverter is used for real-time control and system performance is demonstrated by simulating the induction motor which has 210[kW] on the output power.

As wireless network technology has advanced, demands for multimedia contents through mobile environment have tendered to upward. Since network situation is changing every moment and types of user terminals are diverse, it is difficult for a content provider to consider network situation and type of user terminal to provide multimedia contents. As one solution, transcoding techniques have been proposed, but those have much complexity. In this paper, in order to reduce computational complexity, we propose a fast mode decision using input modes, motion vectors, and residual energies which are obtained from input bitstream for 2:1 down-scaling spatial transcoding application. The proposed method reduces processing time in mode decision by restricting possible mode types based on input information. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves about 2.66 times improvement in encoding time compared to the normal encoding process while the PSNR is degraded by about 0.04dB, and bit-rate is increased by 1.6%.

In this paper, an error-resilient image compression technique using wavelet transform is proposed. The zerotree technique that uses properties of statistics, energy and directions of wavelet coefficients in the space-frequency domain shows effective compression results. Since it is highly sensitive to the propagation of channel errors, evena single bit error degrades the whole image quality severely. In the proposed algorithm, the image is encoded by the SPIHT(Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees) algorithm using the zerotree coding technique. Encoded bitstreams are partitioned into some blocks using the subband correlations and then fixed-length blocks are made by using the effective bit reorganization algorithm. finally, an effective bit allocation technique is used to limit error propagation in each block. Therefore, in low BER the proposed algorithm shows similar compression performance to the zerotree compression technique and in high BER it shows better performance in terms of PSNR than the conventional methods.

This study aims to identify and compare contents and keywords used in articles related to blockchain applications to various industries. The text mining and Semantic Network Analysis, as methods of keyword network analysis, were used to analyze articles including terms of 'finance' 'energy' and 'logistics', which media and government frequently mentioned as areas that can apply blockchain technologies. For this study, data were collected from 43,093 articles from January, 2017 through July, 2018. Data crawling was carried out by using Python BeautifulSoup and data cleaning was performed in order to eliminate mutual redundancies of the three terms. After that, text mining and semantic network analysis were performed using Textom and UCInet for network analysis between keywords. The results showed that all the three terms were similar in terms of 'technology', but there were differences in the contents of 'government policy' or 'industry' issues. In addition, there were differences in frequencies and centralities of these terms.

The core of the block chain technology is solving the problem of agreement on double payment, and the PoW, PoS and DPoS algorithms used for this have been studied. PoW in-process proofs are consensus systems that require feasible efforts to prevent minor or malicious use of computing capabilities, such as sending spam e-mail or initiating denial of service (DoS) attacks. The proof of the PoS is made to solve the Nothing at stake problem as well as the energy waste of the proof of work (PoW) algorithm, and the decision of the sum of each node is decided according to the amount of money, not the calculation ability. DPoS is that a small number of authorized users maintain a trade consensus through a distributed network, whereas DPS provides consent authority to a small number of representatives, whereas PoS has consent authority to all users. If PoS is direct democracy, DPoS is indirect democracy. This study aims to contribute to the continuous development of the related field through the study of the algorithm of the block chain agreement.
