The majority of instrumentation and control (I&C) systems in today's nuclear power plants (NPPs) are based on analog technology. Thus, most existing I&C systems now face obsolescence problems. Existing NPPs have difficulty in repairing and replacing devices and boards during maintenance because manufacturers no longer produce the analog devices and boards used in the implemented I&C systems. Therefore, existing NPPs are replacing the obsolete analog I&C systems with advanced digital systems. New NPPs are also adopting digital I&C systems because the economic efficiencies and usability of the systems are higher than the analog I&C systems. Digital I&C systems are based on two technologies: a microprocessor based system in which software programs manage the required functions and a programmable logic device (PLD) based system in which programmable logic devices, such as field programmable gate arrays, manage the required functions. PLD based systems provide higher levels of performance compared with microprocessor based systems because PLD systems can process the data in parallel while microprocessor based systems process the data sequentially. In this research, a bistable trip logic in a reactor protection system (RPS) was developed using very high speed integrated circuits hardware description language (VHDL), which is a hardware description language used in electronic design to describe the behavior of the digital system. Functional verifications were also performed in order to verify that the bistable trip logic was designed correctly and satisfied the required specifications. For the functional verification, a random testing technique was adopted to generate test inputs for the bistable trip logic.

HDL(Hardware Description Language) is the most important modem tools used to describe hardware, and becomes important as we move to higher levels of abstraction. The HDL has been made brisk use of in analog design, MEMS device[1-2], process related field as well as digital design. The most important characteristics of HDL is Abstraction which is the strongest tool that extend greatly designer's design ability. In this paper by the Modelling Continuum with hierarchical structure of abstraction, we apply UML(Unified Modeling Language) to SoC Design with HDL UML makes an easy and visual description of the various levels of abstraction, and gives designers good flexible modeling capabilty for SoC Design.

Recently, N-screen service and secondary device have gotten an attention from public. Also, we can experience N-screen service through various digital devices. N-screen means multimedia technology which can seamlessly consume multimedia content. Secondary device means auxiliary multimedia device which can consume content related to main content through adjunct connection to main device. Not only be electronic manufactures interested in N-screen technology and services but also digital devices applied for N-screen have been released. But it has limitation that user can only consume content to be purchased from content company server not device of user. This paper proposes the system that composes effective and various N-screen multimedia service through MPEG-4 LASeR (Lightweight Application Scene Representation) PMSI (Presentation and Modification of Structured Information) as international standard technology which can provide scene description including many instruction for dynamic update of scene.

An example of such a new device is a mobile phone. The demand for wireless data communication is growing rapidly. However, agencies have not yet completed the standardization of the markup language. Due to the evolution of the Mobile Device, the agencies in this field have provided different data formats with each Mobile Device Platform. Traditionally, contents are hand-tailored to suit the target devices. A key problem is that the characteristics and capabilities of mobile devices are too diverse to service the most suitable mobile contents. Owing to this problem, the need for a reusable document description language increases. In this paper, we defined Template file that is common data to service mobile devices. We proposed method that could be effective wireless web service though design and the implementation of the Call Manager & the XSL Generator. In the methodology, when requesting wireless internet service, the mobile device finds out Markup language and hardware specification of the mobile device through the Call Manager component supports. The XSL Generator component creates XSL file dynamically that is the most suitable to device. Finally, contents is serviced to each device by XSLT.

According to increasing the doping concentration in p-n junction, a tunneling current through trap as well as SRH(Shockley-Read-Hall) generation-recombination current in depletion region occurs. It is the tunneling current that is a dominant current at the forward bias. In this paper, the new tunneling-recombination equation is derived. The thermal generation-recombination current and tunneling current though trap can be easily calculated at the same time because this equation has the same form as the SRH generation-recombination equation. For the validity of this equation, 2 kind of samples are simulated. The one is $n^{+}$-p junction device fabricated with MCT(Mercury Cadmium Telluride, mole fraction=0.29), the other Si n$^{+}-p^{+}$ junction. From the results for MCT $n^{+}$-p junction device and comparing the simulated and expermental I-V characteristics for Si n$^{+}-p^{+}$ junction, it is shown that this equation is a good description for tunneling through trap and thermal generation-recombination current calculation.

In IEEE 802.15.1 (Bluetooth) Ad-hoc networks, the frequency is resolved by the specific part of the digits of the Device clock and the Bluetooth address of the Master device in a given piconet. The piconet performs a fast frequency hopping scheme over 79 carriers of 1-MHz bandwidth. Since there is no coordination between different piconets, packet collisions may occur if two piconets are located near one another. In this paper, we proposed a software/hardware co-design of an adaptive frequency decision mechanism so that more than two different kinds of wireless devices can stay connected without frequency collision. Suggested method was implemented with C program and HDL (Hardware Description Language) and automatically synthesized and laid out. The adaptive frequency hopping circuit was implemented in a prototype and showed its operation at 24MHz correctly.

This paper presents an automatic setup planning system for turning operation of symmetric rotational parts. The proposed setup planning system determines workpiece holding method, number of setup, clamping surface, and workpiece holding device by using design data, part description database and part feature recognition information. The workpiece holding method is based on functional name and length/diameter ratio of the given part, and number of setup is determined by part profile type and its technological constraints. Clamping surface and workpiece holding device are determined by using information about the results of workpiece holding method and number of setup, and capacity of workpiece holding devices. A case study is performed to show the performance of the proposed system.

As a device that returns surplus energy, regenerated from trains to d.c. source, to a.c. system and reuses it, the thyristor Inverter has been widely used. Because the conventional thyristor inverter is a unidirectional phase-controlled device, it Is Impossible to control the power factor of its output. Moreover, harmonics emission is high and it needs to take a additional filter. In this paper, to solve the problems stated above, the inverter, which can control real and reactive power by adopting IGBT modules as switching elements and being controlled by means of space vector PWM, is developed. Considering high economical efficiency and reliability in order to apply to the system for commercial use, the developed inverter is equipped with fully digital control system and low pass filter, and reduces harmonics and has compact size.
