Recently, hybrid transactional memory (HyTM) has gained much interest from researchers because it combines the advantages of hardware transactional memory (HTM) and software transactional memory (STM). To provide the concurrency control of transactions, the existing HyTM-based studies use a bloom filter. However, they fail to overcome the typical false positive errors of a bloom filter. Though the existing studies use a global lock, the efficiency of global lock-based memory allocation is significantly low in multi-core environment. In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid transactional memory scheme using near-optimal retry computation and sophisticated memory management in order to efficiently process transactions in multi-core environment. First, we propose a near-optimal retry computation algorithm that provides an efficient HTM configuration using machine learning algorithms, according to the characteristic of a given workload. Second, we provide an efficient concurrency control for transactions in different environments by using a sophisticated bloom filter. Third, we propose a memory management scheme being optimized for the CPU cache line, in order to provide a fast transaction processing. Finally, it is shown from our performance evaluation that our HyTM scheme achieves up to 2.5 times better performance by using the Stanford transactional applications for multi-processing (STAMP) benchmarks than the state-of-the-art algorithms.

In this paper, we have proposed license plate recognition system for multi-national vehicle license plate using geometric features along with hybrid and seven segment pattern vectors. In the proposed system, we suggested to find horizontal and vertical relation after going through preparation process with inputted real-time license plate image of Korea and Japan, and then to classify license plate with using characteristic and geometric information of license plates. It classifies the extracted license plate images into letters and numbers, such as local name, local number, classification character and license consecutive numbers, and recognize license plate of Korea and Japan by applying hybrid and seven segments pattern vectors to classified letter and number region. License plate extraction step of the proposed system uses width and length information along with relative rate of Korean and Japanese license plate. Moreover, it exactly segmentation by letters with using each letter and number position information within license plate region, and recognizes Korean and Japanese license plates by applying hybrid and seven segment pattern vectors, containing characteristics related to letter size and movement within segmented letter area. As the result of testing the proposed system in real experiment, it recognized regardless of external lighting conditions as well as classifying license plates by nations, Korea and Japan. We have developed a system, recognizing regardless of inputted structural character of vehicle licenses and external environment.

A hybrid passivation method using parylene and silicon dioxide combination layer for a flexible organic light emitting diode (FOLED) was applied on a polycarbonate substrate. A parylene coating by vapor polymerization method is a highly effective passivation process for the FOLED, and it applies all top surface and the edges of the FOLED device. In order to minimize the permeation of moisture and oxygen from the top surface of the device, an additional layer of silicon dioxide was deposited over the parylene coated layer. It was found that the water vapor transmittance rate (WVTR) of parylene (15 m-in-thickness) / SiO2 (0.3$\mu$m-in-thickness) combination layers deposited on polycarbonate film was decreased under the value of 10-3 g/m2day. The FOLED with the hybrid passivation showed remarkably longer lifetime characteristics in the ambient conditions than the non-passivated FOLED. The lifetime of the passivated FOLED was 400 hours and it was more than ten times over the lifetime of the convectional non-passivated FOLED.

New sol-gel precursors having the ability to protect iron against corrosion were synthesized and used to prepare organic-inorganic hybrid coatings based on epoxy. Bisphenol A epoxy was modified with 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane to improve the compatibility, and water and HCl were used as catalysts for sol-gel process. Various coating formulations were prepared depending on the type of sol-gel precursors and the amount of each ingredient, and cast on iron substrates by dip-coating and thermally cured. Corrosion protection properties of coated iron were studied by a salt spray test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy under 0.1 M NaCl electrolyte. Hybrid coatings containing anticorrosive functional group exhibited excellent corrosion protection on iron, compared to that of typical hybrid coatings. From electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the hybrid coatings containing anticorrosive functional group could maintaine the initial impedance after 500 h, while the impedance of hybrid coatings without them started to decrease after 24 h.

A key factor in the study of hybrid vehicle is to enhance the usability of energy. The paper introduces the monitor and controlling technology of hybrid vehicle that can process the relevant information considering the structure of power system and driving strategies simultaneously, and can monitor its results. This technology, so called HEV algorithm analysis, has been applied to PRIUS THS made by Toyota Co. LTD. This model is adapted to parallel hybrid type. It has a somewhat comlex structure, but has several merits. It's energy loss is lower when conversing. and also it is easily applied to the conventional vehicle having a gasoline engine without any overall changing of its structure, and so on. This monitor and controlling technology is very useful to study on the various driving strategies of hybrid vehicle for maximizing the usability between engine and electric motor.

Recently, three-dimensional scaffolds and nanofibers are being developed for bone tissue regeneration. In this study, we fabricated a hybrid scaffold using a nano-micro precision deposition system. The fabrication process involved the application of the solid freeform fabrication (SFF) technology and electrospinning. The hybrid scaffolds were combined using micro scaffolds and nanofibers. The nanofibers were deposited on each layer of the micro scaffolding using the electrospinning process. The micro scaffolds were fabricated using the SFF technology at a temperature of $100^{\circ}C$, pressure of 650 kPa, and scan velocity of 250 mm/s. Nanofiber fabrication was conducted by means of electrospinning using the flow rate, solution concentration, distance from the tip to the collector (TCD), and voltage. The nanofibers were fabricated using a flow rate of 0.1 ml/min, voltage of 5 kV, TCD of 1 mm, and 10 wt% of solution concentration. MG-63 cells were seeded into the hybrid scaffold for the purpose of its evaluation.

This paper deals with the effects of the surfactant and preplate process (sensitization and activation) on electroless copper plating on carbon nano-fiber (CNF). Ultrasonic irradiation was applied both during dispersion of CNF and during electroless plating containing preplate process. The dispersion of CNF and flatness of the plated copper film were discussed based on the changes in surfactant concentration and preplate process time. It was clearly shown that high concentration of surfactant and long time of preplate process could promote the agglomeration of CNF and uneven copper plating on CNF.

This paper describes an effective method for forming silicon oxide on silica-on-silicon platforms, which results in excellent characteristics for hybrid integration. Among the many processes involved in fabricating silica-on-silicon platforms with planar lightwave circuits (PLCs), the process for forming silicon oxide on an etched silicon substrate is very important for obtaining transparent silica film because it determines the compatibility at the interface between the silicon and the silica film. To investigate the effects of the formation process of the silicon oxide on the characteristics of the silica PLC platform, we compared two silicon oxide formation processes: thermal oxidation and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Thermal oxidation in fabricating silica platforms generates defects and a cristobalite crystal phase, which results in deterioration of the optical waveguide characteristics. On the other hand, a silica platform with the silicon oxide layer deposited by PECVD has a transparent planar optical waveguide because the crystal growth of the silica has been suppressed. We confirm that the PECVD method is an effective process for silicon oxide formation for a silica platform with excellent characteristics.

Researchers have recently begun to study hot stamping processes to shorten the mold cooling time and improve productivity. These publications explain that the mold cooling time can be reduced by using a curved cooling channel, where the mold surface is processed to a uniform depth, instead of a straight cooling channel that uses the conventional gun drilling machine. This study investigates the characteristics of the front pillar of an automobile after using a mold with a curved cooling channel. To analyze the change in properties, we used a 1.6 mm boron steel blank and heated the prototype at $930^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes. Next, we formed the prototype with a load of about 500 tons while varying the mold cooling time between 1 and 10 seconds. We subjected each prototype specimen to a tensile strength test, a hardness test, and a tissue surface observation.
