For the programming volume of PRAM, Ge2Sb2Te5(GST) thin films have been dominantly used and prepared by physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD). Among these methods, ALD is particularly considered as the most promising technique for the integration of PRAM because the ALD offers a superior conformality to PVD and CVD methods and a digital thickness control precisely to the atomic level since the film is deposited one atomic layer at a time. Meanwhile, although the IST has been already known as an optical data storage material, recently, it is known that the IST benefits multistate switching behavior, meaning that the IST-PRAM can be used for mutli-level coding, which is quite different and unique performance compared with the GST-PRAM. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a possibility of the IST materials for the application of PRAM. So far there are many attempts to deposit the IST with MOCVD and PVD. However, it has not been reported that the IST can be deposited with the ALD method since the ALD reaction mechanism of metal organic precursors and the deposition parameters related with the ALD window are rarely known. Therefore, the main aim of this work is to demonstrate the ALD process for IST films with various precursors and the conformal filling of a nano size programming volume structure with the ALD?IST film for the integration. InSbTe (IST) thin films were deposited by ALD method with different precursors and deposition parameters and demonstrated conformal filling of the nano size programmable volume of cell structure for the integration of phase change random access memory (PRAM). The deposition rate and incubation time are 1.98 A/cycle and 25 cycle, respectively. The complete filling of nano size volume will be useful to fabricate the bottom contact type PRAM.

We propose a new 3 dimensional labeling method based on slice information for the volume data. This method is named SIL (Slice Information based Labeling). Compare to the conventional algorithms, it has advantages that the use of memory is efficient and it Is possible to combine with a variety of 2 dimensional labeling algorithms for finding an appropriate labeling algorithm to its application. In this study, we applied SIL to confocal microscopy images of cervix cancer cell and compared the results of labeling. According to the measurement, we found that the speed of Sd combined with, CCCL (Contour based Connected Component Labeling) is almost 2 times higher than that of other methods. In conclusion, considering that the performance of labeling depends on a kind of image, we obtained that the proposed method provide better result for the confocal microscopy cell volume data.

In the present paper, it is attempted to reconfirm the "Intelligent" material properties using both the sintered TiNi/Al(1100) matrix composite made by powder metallurgy method and the squeeze-casted TiNi/Al6061 specimens. A metal matrix composite is, its fault has been considered to deteriorate a strength of composite by heating residual stress of the matrix. Therefore, it is necessary to remove a tensile residual stress, to produce the strength of a composite better. On the contrary, if compressive residual stress happens in matrix of composite in place of tensile residual stress, it will make the strength of composite better. So that, this paper introduce the development of a high strength of composite, by using compressive residual stress well, on the study. By using these specimens, shape memory strengthening effects in tensile strength and fatigue crack propagation above inverse transformation temperature of TiNi fiber were investigated. We occurs the prestrain and volume fraction for to discuss the effects of a composite strength. Moreover, by SEM observation, the effect of the residual stress at the interface between Al matrix and TiNi fiber and some brittle precipitation layers such as inter metallic compounds on fracture mechanisms was discussed metallurgically.urgically.

This thesis explains the development of multiple LCD system with the additional function to maximize the utilization of PC contents. The newly developed system is composed of host LCD and slave LCD. Host LCD decodes and outputs the image and voice of NTSC, PAL, SECAM signals. It also converts the decoded signals into LVDS signals before transmitting them to slave LCD stage. In addition, the installation of CF Memory and USB Memory helps display multi-media data. Unlike the host LCD, since not including the tuner and memory part, the slave LCD can't receive TV signals and play video signals. It only has the function to receive LVDS image signals and display on a LCD panel. This newly developed multi-LCD system has competitiveness in various aspects. With its simple structure, the failure rate, price and display power are relatively low due to its simplification of the control part. It has price and functional competitiveness as the product whose host LCD can control the entire slave LCD in terms of channel, volume, and video output.

Flash memory is widely used as a storage device for potable equipments such as digital cameras, MP3 players and cellular phones because of its characteristics such as its large volume and nonvolatile feature, low power consumption, and good performance. However, a block in flash memories should be erased to write because of its hardware characteristic which is called as erase-before-write architecture. The erase operation is much slower than read or write operations. FTL is used to overcome this problem. We compared the performance of the existing FTL algorithms on Windows-based OS. We have developed a tool called FTL APAT in order to gather I/O patterns of the disk and analyze the performance of the FTL algorithms. It is the log buffer scheme with full associative sector translation(FAST) that the performance is best.

A mechanical stiffener has been mainly applied on a PCB to secure fatigue life of a solder joint of an electronic components in spaceborne electronics by minimizing bending displacement of the PCB. However, it causes an increase of mass and volume of the electronics. The high damping PCB implemented by multi-layered viscoelastic tapes of a previous research was effective for assuring the fatigue life of the solder joint, but it also has a limitation to decrease accommodation efficiency for the components on the PCB. In this study, we proposed high damping PCB with a multi-layered superelastic shape memory alloy stiffener for spatialminimized, light-weighted, high-integrated structure design of the electronics. To investigate the basic characteristics of the proposed PCB, a static load test, a free vibration test were performed. Then, the high damping characteristic and the design effectiveness of the PCB were validated through a random vibration test.

In order to realize ubiquitous computing, it is essential to efficiently use the resources and the computing power of mobile devices. Among others, memory efficiency, energy efficiency, and processing efficiency are required in executing the softwares embedded in mobile devices. In this paper, query processing over XML data in a mobile device where resources are limited is addressed. In a device with limited amount of memory, the techniques of XML. stream query processing need to be employed to process queries over a large volume of XML data Recently, a technique Galled XFrag was proposed whereby XML data is fragmented with the hole-filler model and streamed in fragments for processing. With XFrag, query processing is possible in the mobile device with limited memory without reconstructing the XML data out of its fragment stream. With the hole-filler model, however, memory efficiency is not high because the additional information on holes and fillers needs to be stored. In this paper, we propose a new technique called XFLab whereby XML data is fragmented with the XML labeling scheme which is for representing the structural relationship in XML data, and streamed in fragments for processing. Through implementation and experiments, XML showed that our XFLab outperformed XFrag both in memory usage and processing time.

This paper presents incompressible Navier-Stokes solution algorithm for 2D Free-surface flow problems on the Cartesian mesh, which was implemented to run on Graphics Processing Units(GPU). The INS solver utilizes the variable arrangement on the Cartesian mesh, Finite Volume discretization along Constrained Interpolation Profile-Conservative Semi-Lagrangian(CIP-CSL). Solution procedure of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for free-surface flow takes considerable amount of computation time and memory space even in modern multi-core computing architecture based on Central Processing Units(CPUs). By the recent development of computer architecture technology, Graphics Processing Unit(GPU)'s scientific computing performance outperforms that of CPU's. This paper focus on the utilization of GPU's high performance computing capability, and presents an efficient solution algorithm for free surface flow simulation. The performance of the GPU implementations with double precision accuracy is compared to that of the CPU code using an representative free-surface flow problem, namely. dam-break problem.

Background and Purpose : Cerebrovascular accident is a serious neurologic event. It can have temporary or permanent effects on survivors, including memory, cognition and volitional control of voiding. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effect of moxibustion in patients with voiding dysfunction after a cerebrovascular accident. Methods : Twenty patients with post-stroke voiding dysfunction were studied. All patients had computerized tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) to localize the lesion in the central nervous system. They were randomly divided into two groups : the control and moxibustion group. Ten of twenty patients underwent moxibustion treatment by randomization. The moxibustion group receieved moxibustion at three points : Chung-guk (Conception Vessel CV3), Kuanwon (CV4) Kihae (CV6). Residual urine volume evaluation was undertaken in all patients. Results : 1. IIn the balanced bladder time, the moxibustion group had the shorter time than non moxibustion group. But there was no significiant difference between the moxibustion group and non-moxibustion group. 2. In the residual urine volume, the moxibustion group and non-moxibustion group showed a tendency to decrease. But there was no significiant difference between the moxibustion group and non-moxibustion group. Conclusions : Though further study is needed, our findings suggested that the time of achieving balanced voiding was shorter with moxibustion than in the control group.

We present a sequential stereoscopic display system using volume holographic storage. Multiple angular multiplexed stereoscopic image pairs are recorded into a photorefractive crystal that can store data with high density, transfer them with high speed, and select a randomly chosen data element. The reference beam with Bragg selectivity is scattered by the index grating and the diffracted beams are propagating along the directions of the stereoscopic image pairs. The images are to be suitably projected on the left and right display plane sequentially for stereoscopic video viewing.
