This paper describes an improved design of graphic memory for QVGA ($320{\times}240\;RGB$) - scale 262k-color LCD Driver IC. A distributor block is adopted to reduce graphic RAM area, which is accomplished with 1/8 data lines of the previous structure. In line-read operation, the drivabilty of memory array cell is improved by partitioning a word line according to the row address. The proposed graphic memory circuit has been designed in transistor level using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology library and verified using Hsim.

Curretly, the development of MEMS(Micro Electronic Mechanical System) technology awakes many research's interest for the aerodynamics. This work presents the development of a compact synthetic jet actuator for flow separation control at the flat plate. The formation and evolution of fluidic actuators based on synthetic jet technology are investigated using Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Also, 2-Dimensional, unsteady, incompressible Navier-Stokes equation solver with single partitioning method for Multi-Block grid to analyze and a modeled boundary condition in developed fo. the synthetic jet actuator. Both laminar and turbulent jets are investigated. Results show very good agreement with experimental measurements. A jet flow develops, even though no net mass flow is introduced. Pair of counter-rotating vortices are observed near the jet exit as are observed in the experiments.

This paper presents smart regional contrast enhancement technique of partitioned image for local dimming backlight on small-sized mobile display to reach two goals. One is to save the power consumption, and the other to improve contrast ratio of display image. Recently new advanced method is proposed, named local dimming method, that backlight LED is positioned on backside of the display panel. So it is important to partition an image by sub blocks and then post-processing independantly. This means regional contrast enhancement. After partitioning, we compare the mean luminance(Y) value of each sub-block image with the one of original whole image. If some blocks have the mean value lower than the one of whole image, they are processed with the proposed method and others are bypassed. Simultaneously the information of the processed blocks are transferred to BLC(Backlight LED Controller). And then the supply current of each backlight LED is reduced to realize the contrast ratio enhancement and at the same time to power consumption reduction. In addition, we verify this proposed method is free from blocking artifacts.

In this paper, the huffman decoder which is a part of the decoder in JPEG standard format is designed by using a new Ternary CAM. First, the 256 word * 16 bit-size new bit-word all parallel Ternary CAM system is designed and verified using SPICE and CADENCE Verilog-XL, and then the verified novel Ternary CAM is applied to the new huffman decoder architecture of JPEG. So the performnce of the designed CAM cell and it's block is verified. The new Ternary CAM has various applications because it has search data mask and storing data mask function, which enable bit-wise search and don't care state storing. When the CAM is used for huffman look-up table in huffman decoder, the CAM is partitioned according to the decoding symbol frequency. The scheme of partitioning CAM for huffman table overcomes the drawbacks of all-parallel CAM with much power and load. So operation speed and power consumption are improved.

본 논문에서는 차세대 비디오 압축 표준인 MPEG-5 Essential Video Coding (EVC) 에서 사용된 블록 분할 방식에 대해서 소개한다. EVC 에서 사용된 블록 분할 방식은 기존 비디오 압축 표준인 HEVC/H.265 에서 사용된 쿼드 트리(Quad-tree)가 아닌 이진 분할(Binary split)과 삼진 분할(Ternary split)을 사용한 Binary ternary tree(BTT) 기술을 사용하고 있다. 또한 기존 비디오 압축 기술과 달리 분할된 블록의 코딩 순서를 정해서 사용 할 수 있는 Split unit coding order (SUCO) 기술이 사용되고 있다.

JPEG 위원회는 JPEG XL 이라 불리우는 차세대 이미지 코딩의 표준화를 진행하였다. JPEG XL 은 기존 JPEG 에서 사용하는 8×8 크기의 블록뿐만 아니라, 최소 2×2 부터 최대 32×32 크기의 블록을 유동적으로 사용함으로써 부호화 성능의 개선을 가능하게 한다. 부호화기 구조 내의 DCT 블록 분할은 부호화 성능을 결정하는 주요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 SML(Sum Modified Laplacian)을 기반으로 하는 DCT 블록 분할 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 이미지에서 상대적으로 변동이 적거나 균일한 영역을 선택하기 위해 SML 을 활용하였으며, 이 영역에서는 큰 DCT 블록으로 부호화하여 기존 부호화기의 성능을 개선하였다.

The Joint Exploration Model (JEM), which is a reference SW codec of the Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) exploring the future video standard technology, provides a recursive Quadtree plus Binary Tree (QTBT) block structure. QTBT can achieve enhanced coding efficiency by adding new block structures at the expense of largely increased computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a fast decision algorithm of QTBT block partitioning depth that uses the rate-distortion (RD) cost of the upper and current depth to reduce the complexity of the JEM encoder. Experimental results showed that the computational complexity of JEM 5.0 can be reduced up to 21.6% and 11.0% with BD-rate increase of 0.7% and 1.2% in AI (All Intra) and RA (Random Access), respectively.

Recently the tagSNP selection problem has been researched for reducing the cost of association studies between human's diversities and SNPs. General approach for this problem is that all of SNPs are separated into appropriate blocks and then tagSNPs are chosen in each block. Marsel in this paper is the system that involved the concept of linkage disequilibrium for overcoming the problem that the existing block partitioning approaches have short of biological meanings. In most approaches, the contiguous regions, which recombinations have LD coefficient |D'| and then tagSNP selection step is performed. And MarSel guarantees the minimum tagSNP selection using entropy-based optimal selection algorithm when tagSNPs are chosen in each block, and enables chromosome-level association studies using efficient memory management technique when input is very large-scale dataset that is impossible to be processed in the existing systems.

We propose the fast full search algorithm that reduces the computation of the block matching algorithm which is used for motion estimation of the video coding. Since the conventional spiral search method starts searching at the center of the search window and then moves search point to estimate the motion vector pixel by pixel, it is good for the slow motion pictures. However the proposed method is good for the fast and slow motion because it estimates the motion in the new search order after partitioning the search window. Also, when finding the motion vector, this paper presents the method that reduces the complexity by computing the matching error in the order which is determined by local image complexity. The proposed algorithm reduces the computation up to 99% for block matching error compared with the conventional spiral full search algorithm without any loss of image quality.

Objective: This study was conducted to assess the effects of replacing rice straw with different proportions of cassava pulp on growth performance, feed intake, digestibility, rumen microbial population, energy partitioning and efficiency of metabolizable energy utilization in beef cattle. Methods: Eighteen yearling Thai native beef cattle (Bos indicus) with an average initial body weight (BW) of $98.3{\pm}12.8kg$ were allocated to one of three dietary treatments and fed ad libitum for 149 days in a randomized complete block design. Three dietary treatments using different proportions of cassava pulp (100, 300, and 500 g/kg dry matter basis) instead of rice straw as a base in a fermented total mixed ration were applied. Animals were placed in a metabolic pen equipped with a ventilated head box respiration system to determine total digestibility and energy balance. Results: The average daily weight gain, digestible intake and apparent digestibility of dry matter, organic matter and non-fiber carbohydrate, total protozoa, energy intake, energy retention and energy efficiency increased linearly (p<0.05) with an increasing proportion of cassava pulp in the diet, whereas the three main types of fibrolytic bacteria and energy excretion in the urine (p<0.05) decreased. The metabolizable energy requirement for the maintenance of yearling Thai native cattle, determined by a linear regression analysis, was $399kJ/kg\;BW^{0.75}$, with an efficiency of metabolizable energy utilization for growth of 0.86. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that increasing the proportion of cassava pulp up to 500 g/kg of dry matter as a base in a fermented total mixed ration is an effective strategy for improving productivity in zebu cattle.
