  • Recently, power dissipation issue is very significant not only in high-end modern processors but also in embedded systems and mobile devices. Based on the power dissipation, hardware and software designers can correctly find the power/performance tradeoffs. Most power analysis tools calculate power dissipation when chip layout or floor planning are finished. In this paper, a trace-driven simulator that can interact with power analysis tool for an embedded microprocessor has been developed. Using MiBench embedded benchmarks as input, the trace-driven simulation has been performed to estimate the average power dissipation which is faster than the conventional tools.

  • As radiotherapy has become one of the widely used techniques in cancer treatment, accurate tracking of patient's respiratory motion is considered to be more important in treatment planning and dose calculations. Inaccurate motion tracking can cause severe issues such as errors in target/normal tissue delineation and increasing the volume of healthy tissues exposed to high doses. Different methods have been introduced to estimate the respiratory motion, but most of them require some electronic devices or expensive materials. As an inexpensive and easy to use alternative to the previous methods, we propose a new 3D respiratory motion tracking method by using stereo vision techniques of detecting and decoding visual coded markers.

  • Ejector is an equipment devised for making use of the low pressure occurring from the fast fluid injection and it is a transportation equipment which can obtain vacuum using the kinetic energy of the fluid. This ejector system is, nowadays, widely used for construction machinery, heavy equipments, the cooling and ventilation of electronic devices and for the various fluid transportation and pumps. In this study, it is attempted to perform a numerical analysis and an experiment to find out the characteristics of fluid quantity, velocity and the pressure distribution of the induction pipe by changing the length and the radius ratio of the nozzle of ejector. From the results, it is investigated that the distributions of velocity and pressure of induction pipe attached are changing with the length and the radius ratio of the nozzle. In addition, it is shown that for the small and large ejector, the efficiency is the maximum when the length of the nozzle arrived to the neck of the ejector, however, if it is installed at below or above the neck the efficiency is rather decreased.

  • This paper deals with measurements and evaluation of the time-changing electric and magnetic fields at a high-voltage laboratory. The electromagnetic disturbances originate mainly from ground faults and on/off operations of electric power equipments. The electronic circuits and control devices are very sensitive to electromagnetic interferences. It is necessory to evaluate the levels of interferences for a given electromagnetic environment. The electric field was observed by the electric field sensor having the bandwidth of the range from 40 Hz to 200 MHz, and the time-changing magnetic field was measured by the loop sensor of which the output is directly proportional to the incident signal. Also, the frequency components of the time-changing electric and magnetic fields induced by an oscillatory transient current and a chopped impulse voltage were analyzed by terms of the fast Fourier transformation, and those give the information about the levels of the electromagnetic interferences and the design of the electromagnetic shielding enclosures.

  • The application of time-domain methods in emission measurement instruments allows for a reduction in scan time by several orders of magnitude and for new evaluation methods to be realized such as the real-time spectrogram to characterize transient emissions. In this paper two novel systems for time-domain EMI measurements above 1 GHz are presented. The first system combines ultra-fast analog-to-digital-conversion and real-time digital signal processing on a field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) with ultra-broadband multi-stage down-conversion to enable measurements in the range from 10 Hz to 26 GHz with high sensitivity and full-compliance with the requirements of CISPR 16-1-1. The required IF bandwidths were added to allow for measurements according to MIL-461F and DO-160F. The second system realizes a system of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and has an upper bandwidth limit of 4 GHz. With the implementation of an automatic mismatch calibration, the system fulfills CISPR 16-1-1 dynamic range requirements. Measurements of the radiated emissions of electronic consumer devices and household appliances like the non-stationary emissions of a microwave oven are presented. A measurement of a personal computer's conducted emissions on a power supply line according to DO-160F is given.

  • The purpose of this study is to understand the sociocultural context of the pre-game period, and how the context influenced on the identity formation of games. Games did not develop with the fixed and stable identities. Instead, games is the outcome which is conceived in the history of articulation of various discourses, technologies and social factors. The mechanical amusement devices was consumed for the urban entertainment, and made a strained relations with the society for the speculative and pathological characteristics. The mechanical amusement has extended to the electronic games in 1970s, and reached the present digital game culture.

  • The effects of CeO2 on the properties of cordierite-based glass-ceramics and its applicability to low firing temperature substrate were examined. Glass-ceramics were prepared by sintering the glass powder compacts at 900~100$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. Density, bending strength, dielectric constant and thermal expansion coefficient of the glass-ceramics were measured as functions of CeO2 contents and sintering temperatures. By adding CeO2, dense glass-ceramics were obtained below 100$0^{\circ}C$. dielectric constant and bending strength were more dependent on the porosity of glass-ceramics containing 5 wt% CeO2, sintered at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 h, were as follows; relative density is 95.3%, bending strength is 178$\pm$11 MPa, dielectric constant is 4.98$\pm$0.20 (at 1 MHz) and thermal expansion coefficient is 33.7$\times$10-7/$^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the glass-ceramics containing 5 wt% CeO2 appeared to be suitable for low firing temperature substrate of electronic devices.

  • As a semiconductor material for electronic devices operated under extreme environmental conditions, silicon carbides(SiCs) have been intensively studied because of their excellent electrical, thermal and other physical properties. The growth characteristics of single-crystalline 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layers grown by a thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were investigated. Especially, the successful growth condition of 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layers using a SiC-uncoated atmospheric pressure chamber and carried out using off-oriented substrates prepared by a modified Lely method. In order to investigate the crystallinity of grown epilayers, Nomarski optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, photoluninescence(PL), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and other techniques were utilized. The best quality of 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layers was observed in conditions of growth temperature $1500^{\circ}C$ and C/Si flow ratio 2.0 of $C_{3}H_{8}\;0.2\;sccm\;&\;SiH_{4}\;0.3\;sccm$. The growth rate of epilayers was about $1.0\mu\textrm{m}/h$ in the above growth condition.

  • In the hazardous areas where explosive gases, vapor or mists exist, electrical apparatus and installations must be the explosion-proof construction to prevent or limit the danger of the ignition of potentially explosive atmosphere. In Korea, nine types of protection have been specified in the government regulations at present: flameproof enclosure, pressurization, oil immersion, increased safety, intrinsic safety, non-incendive, powder filling, encapsulation, and special types. Among these types, the intrinsic safety has the construction which limit or by-pass igniting the electric energy using electronic devices. This type has lots of merits but at the same time requires a high-degree of technology. In this paper, we investigated several dominating factors which affect the minimum ignition energy; this energy plays a very important role in design and evaluation of the intrinsic safety type electrical apparatus. Electrode material, which is one of the most important factors, was intensively studied for the five sorts of material(Al, Cd, Mg, Sn, and Zn) with performing experiment in a low-voltage inductive circuit using IEC-type(International Electro-technical Commission) spark apparatus. The experimental results show that the minimum ignition energy of electrode material is varied: highest in Cd and lowest in Sn. We also confirmed the effect of electrode make-and-break speed.
