A neuromorphic hardware that mimics biological perceptions and has a path toward human-level artificial intelligence (AI) was developed. In contrast with software-based AI using a conventional Von Neumann computer architecture, neuromorphic hardware-based AI has a power-efficient operation with simultaneous memorization and calculation, which is the operation method of the human brain. For an ideal neuromorphic device similar to the human brain, many technical huddles should be overcome; for example, new materials and structures for the synapses and neurons, an ultra-high density integration process, and neuromorphic modeling should be developed, and a better biological understanding of learning, memory, and cognition of the brain should be achieved. In this paper, studies attempting to overcome the limitations of next-generation neuromorphic hardware technologies are reviewed.

The process of automation and monitoring in industrial control system involves the use of many types of sensors. A programmable logic controller plays an important role in the automation of the different processes in the power plant system. The major control units are boiler for temperature and pressure, turbine for speed of motor, generator for voltage, conveyer belt for fuel. The power plant units are controlled using microcontrollers and PLCs, but FPGA can be the feasible solution. The paper focused on the design and simulation of hardware chip to monitor boiler, turbine, generator and conveyer belt. The hardware chip of the plant is designed in Xilinx Vivado Simulator 17.4 software using VHDL programming. The methodology includes VHDL code design, simulation, verification and testing on Virtex-5 FPGA hardware. The system has four independent buzzers used to indicate the status of the boiler, generator, turbine motor and conveyer belt in on/off conditions respectively. The GSM is used to display corresponding message on the mobile to know the status of the device in on/off condition. The system is very much helpful for the industries working on plant automation with FPGA hardware integration.

FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System)는 로봇, 수치제어기기 등의 프로그램이 가능한 생산설비 하드웨어로 구성된 분산시스템이다. FMS의 효과적인 운용을 위해서는 생산설비 하드웨어를 통합 제어하기 위한 소프트웨어의 존재가 필수적이다. 그런데 FMS의 복잡성과 다양한 변화가능성은 통합제어 소프트웨어의 구축 및 유지, 보수를 어렵게 한다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 객체지향 FMS 통합제어 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델에서는 FMS에 실재하는 셀이 가상 셀 객체로 모델되어, 통합제어를 위하여 필요한 데이터와 연산들이 캡슐화되어 객체지향 데이타베이스에 관리된다. 또한 이 밖의 FMS운용을 위해 필수적인 데이타와 이들간의 관계성도 데이타베이스에 관리된다. 본 논문은 제안된 모델을 기반으로 구현한 통합제어 소프트웨어시스템인 FREE(Fms Run Time Executive Environment)를 바탕으로 통합제어 데이타베이스에 대하여 기술한다.

Experimental testing has been considered as one of the most straightforward approaches to realize the structural behavior for earthquake engineering studies. Recently, novel and advanced experimental techniques, which combine numerical simulation with experimental testing, have been developed and applied to structural testing practically. However, researchers have to take the risk of damaging specimens or facilities during the process of developing and validating new experimental methods. In view of this, a small-scale structural laboratory has been designed and constructed in order to verify the effectiveness of newly developed experimental technique before it is applied to large-scale testing for safety concerns in this paper. Two orthogonal steel reaction walls and one steel T-slotted reaction floor are designed and analyzed. Accordingly, a large variety of experimental setups can be completed by installing servo-hydraulic actuators and fixtures depending on different research purposes. Meanwhile, a state-of-the-art digital controller and multiple real-time computation machines are allocated. The integration of hardware and software interfaces provides the feasibility and flexibility of developing novel experimental methods that used to be difficult to complete in conventional structural laboratories. A simple experimental demonstration is presented which utilizes part of the hardware and software in the small-scale structural laboratory. Finally, experimental layouts of future potential development and application are addressed and discussed, providing the practitioners with valuable reference for experimental earthquake engineering.

To interactively share High Definition (HD)-quality visualization over emerging ultra-high-speed network infrastructure, several lossless and low-delay real-time media (i.e., uncompressed HD video and audio) transport systems are being designed and prototyped. However, most of them still rely on expensive hardware components. As an effort to reduce the building cost of system, in this paper, we propose the integration of both transmitter and receiver machines into a single bi-directional transport system. After detailed bottleneck analysis and subsequent refinements of embedded software components, the proposed integration can provide Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)-based bi-directional transport of uncompressed HD video and audio from a single machine. We also explain how to interface the Gbps-bandwidth display output of uncompressed HD media system to the networked tiled display of 10240 $\times$ 3200 super-high-resolution. Finally, to verify the feasibility of proposed integration, several prototype systems are built and evaluated by operating them in several different experiment scenarios.

This research proposes an Integrated Product Information Model (IPIM) using STEP (Standard for the Exchange of product model data) for Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) of Concurrent Engineering (CE). IPIM is based on Geometry and Topology (STEP Part 42), Form Feature (STEP Part 48), and Tolerance (STEP Part 48) for representing the integrated information of mechanical parts. For the IPIM, 1) new entities are developed for integration of existing entities, and 2) the existing entities are restructured and modified for a special application protocol. In CIM or CE, the advantages of using IPIM having integrated form of geometry, feature and tolerance are 1) integration of product design, process design and manufacturing sequentially or concurrently. 2) keep the product data consistency, modified by different domain, and 3) automatic data exchange between different application software and different hardware. The prototype system is composed of CAD, Data Probe, DBMS and SDAI (Standard Data Access Interface), and the generated STEP data is stored in a step file of DBMS for other applications.

Acquisition is to detect the presence of the GPS signal. Once the signal is detected, the estimated frequency and code phase are passed to a tracking loop to demodulate the navigation data. In order to detect the weak signal, multiple length of data integration is always needed. In this paper, we present five different acquisition approaches based on circular correlation and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), using coherent as well as non-coherent integration techniques for the multiple length of collected GPS satellite signal. Moreover a general approach of determining the acquisition threshold is introduced based on noise distribution which has been proved effective, and independent of the hardware. In the end of this paper, the processing speed and acquisition gain of each method are illustrated, compared, and analyzed. The results show that coherent approach is much more time consuming compared to noncoherent approaches, and in the case of multiple length of data integration from 2ms to 8ms, the processing times consumed by the fastest non-coherent acquisition method are only 25.87% to 1.52% in a single search, and 34.76% to 1.06% in a global search of those in the coherent acquisition. However, coherent acquisition also demonstrates its better performance in the acquisition gain, and in the case of 8ms of data integration it is 4.23 to 4.41 dB higher than that in the non-coherent approaches. Finally, an applicable scheme of combining coherent and non-coherent acquisition approaches in the development of a real-time Software GPS receiver in the University of Tokyo is provided.
