The purpose of this study is to define On-line Video Syllabus Template which is based on adaptive mode with interaction.A syllabus has the significance as a teaching and learning plan. However, it has not only been considered as a formal document, has also been limited into a simple query since it has been made into a fragmentary structure, lacking of link between other services and reuse. Additionally, this paper is aimed to design three-dimensional syllabus which makes it possible to provide students with practical information related to teaching and learning and share it with teachers and students. The following is the technique proposed in this paper. It is made to be served for the Syllabus centered on teaching and learning, which is including the definition of hierarchy structure, the media contents application according to the learner's preference and real-time variation function. On-line Video Syllabus provided through LMS has availability and credibility of teaching and learning, in that it enable increased utilization by strengthening convenience.

The near real-time speckle masking reconstruction technique has been developed to accelerate the processing of solar images to achieve high resolutions for ground-based solar telescopes. However, the reconstruction of solar subimages in such a speckle reconstruction is very time-consuming. We design and implement a new parallel speckle masking reconstruction algorithm based on the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) on General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU). Tests are performed to validate the correctness of our program on NVIDIA GPGPU. Details of several parallel reconstruction steps are presented, and the parallel implementation between various modules shows a significant speed increase compared to the previous serial implementations. In addition, we present a comparison of runtimes across serial programs, the OpenMP-based method, and the new parallel method. The new parallel method shows a clear advantage for large scale data processing, and a speedup of around 9 to 10 is achieved in reconstructing one solar subimage of $256{\times}256pixels$. The speedup performance of the new parallel method exceeds that of OpenMP-based method overall. We conclude that the new parallel method would be of value, and contribute to real-time reconstruction of an entire solar image.

In this paper, a novel soft shadow method is suggested to support realistic shadows in mobile ray tracing. In ray tracing, soft shadow is generally generated by sampling a shadow ray. As this sampling method increases the number of rays to be processed, it has undermined the performance. We designed the proposed soft shadow processing method and hardware architecture to overcome this problem through selective shadow generation and triangle address caching for minimizing the performance degradation caused by sampling. The proposed hardware architecture can be integrated into a mobile ray-tracing hardware and was evaluated in terms of its performance on the FPGA. Based on the results, the rendering performance about 4, 8, and 16 samples were improved, respectively, by 40%, 50%, and 56% on average compared to the previous method, and it was found that the real-time soft shadow processing is feasible with the proposed hardware architecture.

In this paper, we present a design technique that miniaturises the DC-DC converter, a key component in the electric vehicle system, using the advanced material (Ga-N HEMT) in the LLC resonant converter and freely changes the resonant frequency. This design is also proposed to improve the efficiency and temperature characteristics by adding SR Topology in the secondary side output during the operation of power supply. In this experiment, as a consequence of the constructed circuit with the operation of high switching frequency of 200 kHz, the size of LLC and PFC was able to be minimised by 40[%]. Thus, the characteristics of operating temperature demonstrated $60-65^{\circ}C$ without a heat sink, when the temperature was measured at 250W (12V/20A). The features were all due to the advantages of the change of switching frequency, switching circuits implementation, and the maximisation of switching frequency. Based on these design results, we would like to implement more than 1 [kW].

Due to the Climate change and resource shortage by global warming, various problems are rising and getting worse around the world. Many countries are doing the considerable efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The government of South Korea also plans to decrease greenhouse gas emission, the various pilot projects are underway, which includes obligation of energy efficiency 1st rating and greenhouse gas target management system of public buildings. In particular, luxurious government office buildings and energy-wasting public building have issued and emerged as a social problem. Energy efficiency improvement of the existing public office buildings are becoming an important issue recently. This study is proposed the step-by-step energy improvement model according to the building energy efficiency rate in order to reduce the energy consumption. To attain this end, I set up a base model by analyzing the current architectural conditions of the existing public office buildings and grasped the specific properties of building energy consumption through energy simulations. Furthermore, I suggested phased reduction prototypes for the reduction target of energy consumption by applying the methods of the zero energy building plan. This study is expecting that prototypes would give directions when it comes to planning the implementation policy of phased building plan factors, according the building energy consumption reduction goal in the existing public office buildings which are the subject of building energy target management system.

Stereo vision is a technique extracting depth information from stereo images, which are two images that view an object or a scene from different locations. The most important procedure in stereo vision, which is called stereo matching, is to find the same points in stereo images. It is difficult to match stereo images in real time because stereo matching requires heavy calculation. In this Paper we design a digital VLSI to Process stereo matching in real time, which we call stereo image match processor (SIMP). For implementation of real time stereo matching, sliding memory and minimum selection tree are presented. SIMP is designed with pipeline architecture and parallel processing. SIMP takes 64 gray level 64$\times$64 stereo images and yields 8 level 64 $\times$64 disparity map by 3 bit disparity and 12 bit address outputs. SIMP can process stereo images with process speed of 240 frames/sec.

Recently, various studies had been made for automatic control system of small ships, in order to improve maneuvering and to reduce labor and working on board. To achieve efficient operation of small ships, it had been accomplished to rapid development of automatic technique, but the ship operation had been more complicated because of the need to handle various gauges and instruments. To solve these problems, there are examples to be applied to the speech information processing technologies which is one of the human interface methods in the system operation of ship, but the implementation of definite system is still incomplete. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to implement the control system for ship steering using the voice recognition module.

DVC (Distributed Video Coding) technique plays an essential role in providing low-complexity video encoder. But, in order to achieve the better rate-distortion performances, most DVC systems need feedback channel for parity bit control. This causes the DVC-based system to have high decoding latency and becomes as one of the most critical problems to overcome for a real implementation. In order to overcome this problem and to accelerate the commercialization of the DVC applications, this paper analyzes an effect of LDPCA frame size for adaptive LDPCA frame-based parity bit request estimations. First, this paper presents the LDPCA segmentation method in pixel-domain and explains the temporal-based bit request estimation method and the spatial-based bit request estimation method using the statistical characteristics between adjacent LDPCA frames. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the better performance and fast decoding is observed specially when the LDPCA frame size is 3168 in QCIF resolution.

This paper describes a multi-mode LDPC decoder which supports three block lengths(648, 1296, 1944) and four code rates(1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6) of IEEE 802.11n WLAN standard. To minimize hardware complexity, it adopts a block-serial (partially parallel) architecture based on the layered decoding scheme. A novel memory reduction technique devised using the min-sum decoding algorithm reduces the size of check-node memory by 47% as compared to conventional method. The designed LDPC decoder is verified by FPGA implementation, and synthesized with a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library. It has 219,100 gates and 45,036 bits RAM, and the estimated throughput is about 164~212 Mbps at 50 MHz@2.5v.

Sixteen provincial Research Institute of Education and Science(RISE) in the country have provided good qualified multimedia educational materials that was produced by some special skilled teachers to elementary, middle and high school teachers using web services. And moreover KERIS and KICE have also produced educational materials and have a plan to integrate distributed multimedia educational materials that RISE produced. The development of KERIS's KEM metadata in 2001 and the making of educational material metadata of RISE is the first step of integration plan. These metadata can be used to make integration plan possible. But before taking integration plan, the study of how to integrate and manage it should be performed. Therefore, this paper introduces the technique of XML web service and JDBC with 3-tier system as the method of integrate distributed educational material metadata. The evaluation shows these two methods have similar response time with MS SQL Server 2000 and Oracle 9i. Thus, we conclude that JDBC and XML web service can be the proper solution to search XML-formatted metadata.
