A three dimensional finite element generation code has been developed attaching simple blocks. Block can be either a quadrature or a cube depending on the dimension of a subject considered. Finite element serendipity basis functions are employed to map elements between the computational domain and the physical domain. Elements can be generated with wser defined progressive ratio for each block. For blocks to be connected properly, a block should have a consistent numbering scheme for vertices, side nodes, edges and surfaces. In addition the edge information such as the number of elements and the progressive ratio for each direction should also be checked for interfaces to have unique node numbers. Having done so, user can add blocks with little worry about the orientation of blocks, Since the present the present code has been written by a Visual Basic language, it can be developed easily for a user interactive manner under a Windows environment.

In this paper we present a static performance estimation technique of on-chip bus architectures. The proposed technique requires the static scheduling of function blocks of a task to analyze bus conflicts caused by simultaneous accesses from processing elements to which function blocks are mapped. To apply it to multitask applications, the concurrent execution of the function blocks of different tasks also should be considered. Since tasks are scheduled independently, considering all cases of concurrency in each processing element is impractical. Therefore we make an average estimate on the effects of other tasks with respect to bus request rate and bus access time. The proposed technique was incorporated with our exploration framework for on-chip bus architectures, Its viability and efficiency are validated by a preliminary example.

This paper presents the thermal and electrical characteristics of ZnO arrester blocks under the AC voltages. The leakage currents of ZnO arrester blocks were measured as a function of time. The temperature distributions of ZnO arrester blocks were observed by the forward looking infrared camera The degradation and thermal runaway of ZnO arrester blocks were closely related with the temperature limit of ZnO arrester blocks which decided heat generation and dissipation As a result, the degradation and thermal runaway of ZnO arrester blocks depend on the temperature and leakage current of ZnO arrester blocks.

This paper presents the thermal characteristics of ZnO arrester blocks under the AC voltage. The leakage currents of ZnO arrester blocks were measured as a function of time. The temperature distribution of ZnO arrester blocks were observed by the forward looking infrared camera. The degradation and thermal runaway of ZnO arrester blocks were related to the temperature of ZnO arrster blocks which depended on heat generation and dissipation. As a result, the degradation and thermal runaway of ZnO arrester blocks are associated with the temperature and leakage current of ZnO arrester blocks.

In this paper, in order to reduce the power consumption of LCD TV, we present a two-dimensional dimming algorithm for LED BLU(Backlight Unit) using light spread function and a pragmatic implementation method. In conventional two dimensional dimming algorithms, LED BLU is divided into MxN blocks and proper backlight luminance for each block is computed according to input image and used for dimming control. But, LED light of each block is diffused and affects the neighboring blocks so that luminance of each block becomes larger than that of intent. In the proposed algorithm, dimming control values are reduced by the amount of quantity affected by the neighboring blocks using light spread function, resulting in additional reduction of power consumption.

This paper presents a process control language for constructing multiloop control system. which include advanced control algorithms. In order to make controller, this language uses function blocks that do specific operations. Then, the total control algorithm is a set of function blocks, of which each block is represented as a function code. The function code is a line of simple ASCII codes denoting function, input, output, parameters. It is possible to use variables as input/output port of any block. Compared with other language using function block concept, the proposed one enables to use advanced control algorithms undefinitely, such as fuzzy, neural network, predictive controller, etc., because vector and matrix variables as input/output can be used freely in this language. To raise flexibility, we put an intermediate level, which is C-language code, between function code and target-dependent operation code.

The degradation and thermal runaway of ZnO arrester blocks were closely related to the temperature limit of ZnO arrester blocks which being decided heat generation and dissipation. The temperature and leakage current of ZnO arrester blocks were sensitively changed in a resistance of ZnO arrester blocks. As a result, the degradation and thermal runaway of ZnO arrester blocks depend on the temperature and leakage current of ZnO arrester blocks.

This paper presents the design of a submerged breakwater, which functions as an eco-structure in a marine environment. Newly patented blocks were used in the submerged breakwater to both make it stable and provide an inhabitable space for fish. To investigate the wave transmission of the proposed submerged breakwater, parametric studies were conducted through two-dimensional hydraulic tests, which were carried out at the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) in South Korea. Those parameters are relative crest width (B/L), wave steepness (H/L), relative crest depth (hB/H), and submerged breakwater configuration. The hydraulic experimental results can be used to predict the performance of the proposed submerged breakwater covered with the multi-function blocks.

In this paper, we present an algorithm for efficient control of backlight LED in order to reduce the power consumption of LCD TV. In addition, a pragmatic implementation method is presented. In conventional local dimming control, backlight LEDs of LCD TV are divided into $M{\times}N$ blocks. And, the proper luminance for each block is computed according to input image and used for dimming control. But, LED light of each block is diffused and affects the neighboring blocks, so that luminance of each block becomes larger than that of intent. In the proposed algorithm, dimming control values are reduced by the amount of quantity affected by the neighboring blocks using light spread function, resulting in additional reduction of power consumption.

This paper presents electrical properties of Zinc Oxide(ZnO) surge arrester blocks under the power frequency AC voltages and various temperatures. The leakage current, $I_{R}-V$ curios and power dissipation for the fine and aged ZnO surge arrester blocks were measured as a function of the temperatures and applied voltages. When the temperature is increased from $50\;[^{\circ}C]$ to $150\;[^{\circ}C]$, the total leakage current significantly increased at the sane applied voltage level. Also, the resistive leakage currents and power dissipation were increased with increasing temperature. The leakage current and power dissipation of the aged ZnO arrester blocks were higher than the fine ZnO arrester blocks.
