A parallel program including a nested parallelism has a complex execution aspects and tasks are executed concurrently. This concurrency is a main cause raising most of errors. In this paper, a new method for checking concurrency between two tasks is proposed. The existing techniques for checking the concurrency have their limits to represent a global structure. A new labeling technique that appropriate for image visualization is proposed. To show the global structure by imaging of execution aspects through region partition on 2D plane. On the basis of it, each of the tasks that can distinguish the ordered relation create an independent image. Image information generated by the result simplifies semantic analysis of the related task, and provides an outline of a global execution aspects structure of the program to user effectively.

This thesis proposes an adaptive variable-sized matching window method using the characteristic points of the image and a method to increase the reliability of the cross-consistency check to raise the correctness of the final disparity image. The proposed adaptive variable-sized window method segments the image with the color information, finds the characteristic points in each segmented image, and varies the size of the matching window according to the existence of the characteristic points inside the window. Also the proposed cross-consistency check method processes the two cases with the cost values corresponding to the best disparity and the second-best disparity: when the cost values themselves are too large and when the difference between the two cost values are too small. The two proposed methods were experimented with the four test images provided by the Middleburry site. As the results from the experiments, the proposed adaptive variable-sized matching window method decreased up to 18.2% of error ratio and the proposed cross-consistency check method increased up to 7.4% of reliability.

GPS is not able to be used for indoor positioning and currently most of techniques emerging to overcome the limit of GPS utilize private wireless networks. However, these methods require high costs for installation and maintenance, and they are inappropriate to be used in the place where precise positioning is needed as in indoor parking lots. This paper proposes a vehicular indoor positioning method based on QR-code recognition. The method gets an absolute coordinate through QR-code scanning, and obtain the location (an relative coordinate) of a black-box camera using the tilt and roll angle correction through affine transformation, scale transformation, and trigonometric function. Using these information of an absolute coordinate and an relative one, the precise position of a car is estimated. As a result, average error of 13.79cm is achieved and it corresponds to just 27.6% error rate in contrast to 50cm error of the recent technique based on wireless networks.

We propose a new Double-Independent-Gate Ambipolar Silicon-Nanowire Field Effect Transistor(DIG Ambi-SiNWFET). The proposed transistor has two types of gate such as polarity gate and control gate. The polarity gate determines the operation that the gate bias controls NMOSFET or PMOSFET. The voltage of control gate controls the current characteristic of the transistor. We investigated systematically work functions of the two gates and source/drain to operate ambipolar current-voltage characteristics using 2D device simulator. When the work functions of polarity gate, control gate and source/drain are 4.75eV, 4.5eV, and 4.8eV, respectively, it showed the obvious ambipolar characteristics.

In the indoor location estimation system, which has recently been actively studied, the received signal strength indicator contains a high level of noise when measuring the signal strength in the range between two nodes consisting of a receiver and a transceiver. To minimize the noise level, this paper proposes an improved adaptive smoothing filter that provides different exponential weights to the current value and previous averaged one of the data that were obtained from the nodes, because the characteristic signal attenuation of the received signal strength indicator generally has a log distribution. The proposed method can effectively decrease the noise level by using a feedback filter that can provide different weights according to the noise level of the obtained data and thus increase the accuracy in the distance and location without an additional filter such as the link quality indicator, which can verify the communication quality state to decrease the range errors in the indoor location recognition using ZigBee based on IEEE 802.15.4. For verifying the performance of the proposed improved adaptive smoothing filter, actual experiments are conducted in three indoor locations of different spatial sections. From the experimental results, it is verified that the proposed technique is superior to other techniques in range measurement.

This paper describes a novel navigation algorithm using a locomotion interface with two 6-DOF programmable foot platforms. When a human walks on the locomotion interface (LI), the walking motions of the human are recognized by several sensors. Then, the sensed information is used by the LI for generation of infinite surfaces for continuous walking and the virtual environments for scene update according to motions of the human walking. The suggested novel navigation system can induce user's real walking and generate realistic visual feedback during navigation. A novel navigation algorithm is suggested to allow natural navigation in virtual environments by utilizing conditions of normal gait analysis. For realistic visual feedback, the virtual environment is designed with three components; 3D object modeler for buildings and terrains, scene manager and communication manager component. From experiments, the subjects were satisfied with the reality of the suggested navigation algorithm using the locomotion interface. Therefore, the suggested navigation system can allow a user to explore into various virtual terrains with real walking and realistic visual feedback.

In this paper, a gain-boosting charge pump(CP) and a latch type voltage controlled oscillato.(VCO) with voltage controlled resistor(VCR) were proposed. The gain-boosting CP achieves good .current matching of less than 11$mu$V voltage difference between 43$mu$V and 32$mu$V in its output range from 0.8V to 2.3V. The VCO with VCR shows good linear characteristics over the range from 1V to 3V. The fabricated VCO exhibits -108dBc/Hz phase noise at a 100kHz and is comparable to that of the integrated LC-tank oscillator. The phase locked loop(PLL) with new circuits was simulated in a 0.35$mu$m CMOS process and showed 150$mu$s locking time.

In this paper, interference analysis has been performed between RF receiver and transmitters on each soldier for Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System(MILES) which are following ZigBee standard. In order to obtain minimum transmit power without interference, 1% Packet Error Rates(PER) from 14 transmitters attached on a soldier to a receiver are measured with the scenarios for simple transmitting and receiving network configuration and for repeating network configuration. Based on this transmit power, the available distance for interference free among soldiers is simulated using Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool(SEAMCAT). Later scenario gives the benefit of 10dB lower transmit power, smaller and lighter power source, and better activity of trainee.

We have synthesized the soluble polymide based side chain system with covalently attached NLO chromophore Disperse Red 1. The developed polymer is optically transparent in the range of optical communication wave-lengths. Its glass transition temperature$(T_g)$ and thermal decomposition temperature$(T_d)$ are $225^{\circ}C, 310^{\circ}C$ respectively. The poled film with the poling field of $100 V/\mu\textrm{m}$ shows that the dielectric constant is 3.37 at the 10-kHz frequency, the refractive indices of TM and TE modes are both 1.631 at $\lambda = 1300 nm$, and the Electro-optic coefficients are 4.6~9.2 pm/V at $\lambda = 1300 nm$. There are no decays of the EO coefficient in the poled polymer at $180^{\circ}C$ in one hour, and $90^{\circ}C$ in 500 hours.

Subthreshold current model is presented using analytical potential distribution of junctionless cylindrical surrounding-gate (CSG) MOSFET and threshold voltage shift is analyzed by this model. Junctionless CSG MOSFET is significantly outstanding for controllability of gate to carrier flow due to channel surrounded by gate. Poisson's equation is solved using parabolic potential distribution, and subthreshold current model is suggested by center potential distribution derived. Threshold voltage is defined as gate voltage corresponding to subthreshold current of $0.1{\mu}A$, and compared with result of two dimensional simulation. Since results between this model and 2D simulation are good agreement, threshold voltage shift is investigated for channel dimension and doping concentration of junctionless CSG MOSFET. As a result, threshold voltage shift increases for large channel radius and oxide thickness. It is resultingly shown that threshold voltage increases for the large difference of doping concentrations between source/drain and channel.
