Recently, processor performance has been improved dramatically. Unfortunately, as the process technology scales down, energy consumption in a processor increases significantly whereas the processor performance continues to improve. Moreover, peak temperature in the processor increases dramatically due to the increased power density, resulting in serious thermal problem. For this reason, performance, energy consumption and thermal problem should be considered together when designing up-to-date processors. This paper proposes three modified filter cache schemes to alleviate the thermal problem in the filter cache, which is one of the most energy-efficient design techniques in the hierarchical memory systems : Bypass Filter Cache (BFC), Duplicated Filter Cache (DFC) and Partitioned Filter Cache (PFC). BFC scheme enables the direct access to the L1 cache when the temperature on the filter cache exceeds the threshold, leading to reduced temperature on the filter cache. DFC scheme lowers temperature on the filter cache by appending an additional filter cache to the existing filter cache. The filter cache for PFC scheme is composed of two half-size filter caches to lower the temperature on the filter cache by reducing the access frequency. According to our simulations using Wattch and Hotspot, the proposed partitioned filter cache shows the lowest peak temperature on the filter cache, leading to higher reliability in the processor.

Computing low temperature performance of asphalt mixture is one of the important tasks especially for cold regions. It is well known that experimental creep testing work is needed for computation of thermal stress and critical cracking temperature of given asphalt mixture. Thermal stress is conventionally computed through two steps of computation. First, the relaxation modulus is generated thorough the inter-conversion of the experimental creep stiffness data through the application of Hopkins and Hamming's algorithm. Secondly, thermal stress is numerically estimated solving the convolution integral. In this paper, one-step thermal stress computation methodology based on the Laplace transformation is introduced. After the extensive experimental works and comparisons of two different computation approaches, it is found that Laplace transformation application provides reliable computation results compared to the conventional approach: using two step computation with Hopkins and Hamming's algorithm.

농 수산업 등 많은 신선 물류 환경에서는 저온저장고에 저장되는 물품을 신선하게 유지해야 한다. 신선도를 유지하기 위해 저온저장고 환경 모니터링 시스템을 이용하며, 센서를 이용하여 환경정보를 수집한다. 센서 데이터 수집의 목표는 저장되는 물품이 위치한 공간의 환경 정보를 모니터링 하는 것이지만, 물품에 센서를 부착하는 작업의 비효율성 또는 부착 불가능 등의 문제가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 물리적 센서를 가상 센서로 대체하여 가상 센서 데이터를 생성하는 것을 제안하며, 가상 센서 데이터 생성을 위한 기법 및 센서 데이터 처리 시스템으로 적용 방법을 기술한다.

A combination of a metallic mesh and an adhesive layer of metallic particle/epoxy composite was introduced as an intermediate layer to enhance the adhesion between cold-sprayed particles and fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs). Aluminum was considered for both the metallic particles in the adhesive and the metallic mesh. To predict the mechanical characteristics of the intermediate bond layer under a high strain rate, the properties of the adhesive layer needed to be calculated or measured. Therefore, in this study, the Al particle/epoxy adhesive was homogenized by using a rule of mixture. To verify the homogenization, the penetration depth, and the thickness decrease after the cold spray deposition from the undeformed surface, was monitored with FE analysis and compared with experimental observation. The comparison displayed that the penetration depth was comparable to the diameters of one cold spray particle, and thus the homogenization approach can be reasonable for the prediction of the stress level of particulate polymer composite interlayer under a high strain rate for cold spray processing.

Utilizing a thermo-acoustic emission (AE) technique, a study on detection and evaluation of microfractures in cross-ply laminate composites was performed. Fiber breakages and matrix fractures formed by a cryogenic cooling at $-191^{\circ}C$ were observed with ultrasonic C-scan, optical and scanning electron microscopy. Those microfractures were monitored in a non-destructive in-situ state as three different types of thermo-AE signals classified on the basis of Fast-Fourier Transform and Short-Time Fourier Transform. Thus, it was concluded that real-time estimation of microfracture processes being formed during cryogenic cooling could be accomplished by monitoring such different types of thermo-AEs in each time-stage and then by analyzing thermo-AE behaviors for the respective AE types on the basis of the AE signal analysis results obtained during thermal heating and cooling load cycles.

최근에 건조되는 선박이나 구조물들은 점차 대형화 되어가고, 이에 사용되는 판재들은 점차 고강도 극후판재화 되어가고 있다. 극후판재의 용접성을 향상시키기 위해서는 대입열 용접이 주로 적용되고 있는 실정인데, 30 mmt 이상의 후판을 1 pass로 용접하기 위해서는 EGW(Electro-gas welding) 기법을 사용한다. 대입열 용접은 용접입열(heat input)이 매우 높아 용착금속과 열영향부의 냉각속도가 매우 느려 용접열영향부에서 특히 fusion line 근처의 열영향부는 결정립 조대화 및 취약한 미세조직을 형성함으로서 저온인성을 크게 저하시키고, 연화 현상(softening effect)을 발생시켜 강도가 저하되는 문제점이 주로 발생하였다. 하지만 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 대입열용접에 사용된는 강재의 미세조직을 제어하여 AlN, TiN, $TiO_2$ 등의 석출물을 이용한 용접열영향부의 저온인성을 향상시켰다. 이러한 문제점이 발생하는 대입열용접에서 저온인성 시험은 주로 fuison line + 1, 2mm에서 수행한다. 하지만 대입열 용접시 용착금속의 냉각속도도 매우 느리기 때문에 용착금속의 위치에 따라 저온 인성 특성이 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 EGW 용착금속의 위치에 따른 저온인성 특성을 평가하기 위해 EH-36N, 40mmt 판재를 사용하여 1pole EG 용접 하였다. 용착금속의 저온인성 특성을 평가하기위해 충격 시편의 노치 위치가 fusion line - 2mm와 용접부 중앙을 기준으로 4곳을 선정하여 충격시험을 수행하였다. 또한 용착금속의 경도 분포를 알아보기 위해 micro vickers hardness tester(mitutoyo UR-501)을 사용해 hardness mapping 시험을 하였다. 용착금속의 저온인성은 미세조직과, 산소량에 따라 변화 할 수 있기 때문에 용착금속 위치를 달리하여 미세조직과 산소량도 각각 분석하였다. 용착금속의 저온인성을 향상시킬 수 있는 침상형페라이트와 비금속개재물의 상관관계에 관해 검토 하였다.

Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) technique is generally used for reducing the peak temperature (hotspot) in the microprocessors. Despite the advantages of lower cooling cost and improved stability, the DTM technique inevitably suffers from performance loss. This paper proposes the DualFloating-Point Adders Architecture to minimize the performance loss due to thermal problem when the floating-point applications are executed. During running floating-point applications, only one of two floating-point adders is used selectively in the proposed architecture, leading to reduced peak temperature in the processor. We also propose a new floorplan technique, which creates Space for Heat Transfer Delay in the processor for solving the thermal problem due to heat transfer between adjacent hot units. As a result, the peak temperature drops by $5.3^{\circ}C$ on the average (maximum $10.8^{\circ}C$ for the processor where the DTM is adopted, consequently giving a solution to the thermal problem. Moreover, the processor performance is improved by 41% on the average by reducing the stall time due to the DTM.

In this study, 13 compounds including four volatile fatty acids (VFA) and nine volatile organic compounds (VOC) were analyzed by cryogenic trapping-thermal desorption technique. In order to evaluate the analytical method for VFA, calibration experiments were performed using five different sorbent materials. When the calibration results are compared between different sorbents, sampling tube filled with Carbopack X showed the highest response factor (RF) for both VFA and VOC. To validate this new analytical method for VFA using cryogenic trapping-thermal desorption technique, this method was compared with alkali absorption method recommended by the odor prevention law of the Korea Ministry of Environment (KMOE). For this purpose, unknown samples were analyzed by two different methods, i.e., cryogenic trapping-thermal desorption (TD) and alkali absorption with solid phase microextraction (SPME). When the results of two different methods were compared, ratios of concentrations determined by the two analytical methods (TD/SPME) was found as 0.46 (valeric acid) ~ 0.71 (isovaleric acid). Therefore, additional study is required to properly establish and find stable analytical conditions for VFA analysis. Furthermore, comparison between two different methods should be made with more reliable calibration approaches.
