An ultra-precise infrared microscope consisting of a high-resolution infrared objective lens and infrared sensors is utilized successfully to obtain location information on the plane and depth of local heat sources causing defects in a semiconductor device. In this study, multi-layer semiconductor chips are analyzed for the positional information of heat sources by using a lock-in infrared microscope. Optimal conditions such as focal position, integration time, current and lock-in frequency for measuring the accurate depth of the heat sources are studied by lock-in thermography. The location indicated by the results of the depth estimate, according to the change in distance between the infrared objective lens and the specimen is analyzed under these optimal conditions.

The lock-in mode infrared thermography (IRT) technique has been developed to improve the detection capability of defects in materials with high thermal conductivity, and it has been shown to provide better detection capability than conventional active IRT. Therefore, to investigate the application of this technique to nuclear piping components, lock-in mode IRT tests were conducted on pipe specimens containing simulated wall-thinning defects. Phase images of the wall-thinning defects were obtained from the tests, and they were compared with thermal images obtained from conventional active IRT tests. It showed that the ability to size the detected wall-thinning defects in piping components was improved by using lock-in mode IRT. The improvement was especially apparent when detecting short and narrow defects and defects with slanted edges. However, the detection capability for shallow wall-thinning defects did not improve much when using lock-in mode IRT.

The update transactions to be executed in spatial databases usually have been known as interactive and long duration works. To improve the parallelism of concurrent updates, it needs multiple transactions concurrently update a large spatial object which has a spatial extensions larger than workspace of a client. However, under the existing locking protocols, it is not possible to concurrently update a large spatial object because of conflict of a write lock This paper proposes a partial locking scheme of enabling a transaction to set locks on parts of a big object. The partial locking scheme which is an exclusive locking scheme set by user, acquires locks for a part of the big object to restrict the unit of concurrency control to a partial object of a big object. The scheme gives benefits of improving the concurrency of un updating job for a large object because it makes the lock control granularity finer.

This paper presents the efficient mechanisms for concurrency control and writing authority control in collaborative writing system are represented by the tree structures which consist of the logical objects and the content objects connected to the terminal objects of trees. For concurrency control, we adopted the approach to extend the multiple-granularity-locking-scheme. This scheme allows us to lock any objects at each level of the hierarchy. We also defined the locking compatibility table by analysing the operations applicable to any objects at each level of the hierarchy. We finally suggest the extended-multiple-granularity-locking mechanism which uses the locking compatibilility table for deciding to lock an object. This scheme gives the benefit to maximize the possibility of concurrent accessing to the shared objects. In addition, we suggest a mechanism for writing authority control which prohibits the Non-Group users from modifying the shared objects based on the concept of Group/Non-Group The proposed mechanism allows us to protect copyright very reasonably.

In this thesis, we present a simple and efficient recovery method, called ARIES/SR(ARIES/Selective Redo) which is based on ARIES(Algorithm for Recovery and Isolation Exploiting Semantics) ARIES performs redo for all updates done by either nonloser transaction or loser transaction, and thus significant overhead appears during restart after a system failure. To reduce this overhead, we propose ARIES/SR recovery algorithm. In this algorithm, to reduce the redo operations, redo is performed, using log record for updates done by only nonloser transaction. Also selective undo is performed. using log record for update done by only loser transaction for reducing recovery operation.

In lock-in thermography, a phase difference between the defect area and the healthy area indicates the qualitative location and size of the defect. To accurately estimate these parameters, the shearing-phase technique has been employed which gives the shearing-phase distribution. The shearing-phase distribution has maximum, minimum, and zero points that help determine quantitatively the size and location of the subsurface defect. In experiment, the proposed technique is verified with artificial specimen and these related factors are analyzed.

This paper presents a Cache-Coherency Interconnect(CCI)-based Android pattern screen lock(PSL) attack on modern ARM processors. CCI has been introduced to maintain the cache coherency between the big core cluster and the little core cluster. That is, CCI is the central interconnect inside SoC that maintains cache coherency and shares data. In this paper, we reveal that CCI can be a side channel in security, that an adversary can observe security-sensitive operations. We design and implement a technique to compromise Android PSL within only a few attempts using the information of CCI in user-level applications on Android Nougat. Further, we analyzed the relationship between the pattern complexity and security. Our evaluation results show that complex and simple patterns would have similar security strengths against the proposed technique.

This paper introduces a new locking technique applicable to high-performance digital Phase-Locked Loops (DPLL). The study employs additional thermometer codes to reduce quantization errors in LC-based Digital Controlled Oscillators (DCO). Despite not implementing the entire DCO codes in thermometer mode, this method effectively reduces quantization errors through enhanced linearity. In the initial locking phase, binary codes are used, and upon completion of locking, the system transitions to thermometer codes, achieving high frequency linearity and reduced jitter characteristics. This approach significantly reduces the number of switches required and minimizes the oscillator's area, especially in applications requiring low DCO gain (Kdco), compared to the traditional method that uses only thermometer codes. Furthermore, the jitter performance is maintained at a level equivalent to that of the thermometer-only approach. The efficacy of this technique has been validated through modeling and design at the RTL level using SystemVerilog and Verilog HDL.
