DRAM, SRAM, and FLASH memory are three major memory devices currently used in most electronic applications. But, they have very distinct attributes, therefore, each memory could be used only for limited applications. MRAM (Magneto-resistive Random Access Memory) is a promising candidate for a universal memory that meets all application needs with non-volatile, fast operational speed, and low power consumption. The simplest architecture of MRAM cell is a series of MTJ (Magnetic Tunnel Junction) as a data storage part and MOS transistor as a data selection part. To be a commercially competitive memory device, scalability is an important factor as well. This paper is testing the actual electrical parameters and the scaling factors to limit MRAM technology in the semiconductor based memory device by an actual integration of MRAM core cell. Electrical tuning of MOS/MTJ, and control of resistance are important factors for data sensing, and control of magnetic switching for data writing.

With the increasing performance and density of VLSI scircuits as well as the popularity of portable devices such as personal digital assitance, power consumption has emerged as an important issue in the design of electronic systems. Low power design techniqeus have been pursued at all design levels. However, it is more effective to attempt to reduce power dissipation at higher levels of abstraction which allow wider view. In this paper, we propose a simultaneous scheduling and binding scheme which increases the correlation between cosecutive inputs to an operation so that the switched capacitance of execution units is reduced in datapath-dominated circuits. The proposed method is implemented and integrated into the scheduling and assignment part of HYPER synthesis environment. Compared with original HYPER synthesis system, average power saving of 23.0% in execution units and 14.2% in the whole circuits, ar eobtained for a set of benchmark examples.

지속적인 발전을 해 온 디스플레이 시장은 LCD 시장이 주도하고 있으며, LCD는 2006년 600억 달러에서 2009년에는 62% 성장한 약 980억 달러의 시장규모에 달할 것으로 전망되고 있다. 디스플레이 분야 중에서 최근에 각광받는 투명전자소자 관련 분야는 투명반도체, 투명전극, 투명유전체를 기반으로 제조된 전자소자에 관한 기술 분야이며, 투명전자소자는 정보인식, 정보처리, 정보표시의 기능을 투명한 전자기기로 구현함으로써 기존 전자기기의 공간적/시각적 제약을 해소할 수 있다. 투명전자소자는 u-IT 스마트 창에 사용될 수 있으며 스마트 창은 스마트 홈이나 스마트 자동차용 창으로 응용하는 것이 가능하다. 나아가서는 투명전자소자를 이용한 스마트 창, 스마트 쇼 윈도, 투명 내비게이터 등 투명 IT 전자기기는 2010년부터 시장을 형성해 2015년에 200억 달러 규모로 급성장될 것으로 예측되고 있다. 이에 본 고에서는 투명전자소자 분야에 대한 시장 동향과 전세계 특허 동향을 심층 분석해보고, 아울러 미국에 출원된 특허를 대상으로 해당 기술 분야에서 우리나라의 국제경쟁력을 분석하여 향후 투명전자소자 분야의 연구개발 방향을 모색해 보고자 한다.

투명전자소자는 투명한 특성을 이용하여 기존의 전자기기가 가지고 있는 공간적/시각적 제약을 해소하려는 목적을 가진 소자이며 투명트랜지스터를 기반으로 한다. 투명 트랜지스터는 투명반도체(주로 산화물), 투명절연체, 투명전도체로 구성되어 있다. 투명 트랜지스터와 투명 OLED를 결합한 투명디스플레이에 정보 인식/정보 처리 기능이 추가로 구현되어 있는 공간 임베디드 정보 단말기를 스마트 창이라고 부른다. 투명전자소자는 초기에는 투명하지 않은 형태의 산화물 트랜지스터를 이용한 디스플레이 분야에 주로 이용될 가능성이 높고 2010년 이후에 투명 IC, 스마트 창 형태의 신규 시장이 창출될 것으로 예측된다. 또한, 투명전자소자 분야는 세계적으로 개발 초기단계이기 때문에 원천 특허 확보 등에 주력할 필요가 있다.

Poly(hydroxamic acid) resin beads were prepared and complexed with various metal ions. We used IR spectroscopy to investigate the structure of metal complex. It proved that the products formed by introduction of metal ions gave stable and colored complex. It was found that the resin bead as synthesized would be a good column packing material for continuous extraction. Energy dispersive spectroscopy was use to study the distribution of metal ions in the resin matrix. It could be tentatively concluded that adsorption and diffusion of metal ions in the chelating resins mainly depended on the loading of the resin matrix which indicated interacting sites with metal ions.

We developed a human-sized BWR(biped walking robot) named KUBIR1 driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. KUBIR1 was developed to walk autonomously such that it is actuated by small torque motors and is boarded with DC battery and controllers. To utilize the information on the human walking motion and to analyze the walking mode of robot, a motion capture system was developed. The system is composed of the mechanical and electronic devices to obtain the joint angle data. By using the obtained data, a 3-D graphic interface was developed based on the OpenGL tool. Through the graphic interface, the control input of KUBIR1 is performed.

This paper is concerned with the eddy current damper which can be used to enhance the damping of the host structure. The operating principle of the eddy current damper is first explained in detail. The dynamic interaction between the magnets and the copper plate produces eddy current thus resulting in the damping force. By attaching the eddy current damper to the host structure, the damping of the total structure can be increased so that vibrations can be suppressed. The advantage of the eddy current damper is that it doesn't require any electronic devices and power supply The effect of the eddy current damper on the global dynamic characteristics of the structure is investigated by considering the cantilever with the eddy current damper. Experimental results show that the eddy current damper is an effective device for vibration suppression.

Computer generated holography (CGH) is technology for generating holograms of synthetic, three dimensional (3D) objects which may not exist in the physical world. The process, however, requires heavy amount of computation as the resolution of a hologram is significantly higher than that of a typical optical image. This paper reviews four modern techniques for fast generation of digital Fresnel holograms which are important in the development of holographic video systems. The methods that will be described include the virtual window, sub-line, wavefront recording plane (WRP), and the interpolative WRP schemes. These works share the common objective to generate digital Fresnel hologram at a speed that is close to the video frame rate, and with complexity which is realizable with affordable computing and reconfigurable hardware devices. The author will present the principles and realization of these works, as well as some potential area of research in digital holography.
