Self-assembled monolayers of spinach ferredoxin immobilized to Au substrate were investigated. Ferredoxin was immobilized onto the chemically modified Au surface. Au surface were modified to $NH^{3+}$ by the 4-aminothiphenol and then modified by N-succinimidyl-3-[2-pyridyldithio]propionate for the ferredoxin immobilization. To verify the electrochemical activity of immobilized ferredoxin molecules, cyclic-voltammetry was measured. Finally, to verify the memory application, reduction potential was applied to ferredoxin molecules as for the write function, and then current transients observed from the reduced ferredoxin layers were measured for the read function of memory applications.

The effectiveness of using the advanced seismic protection technology based on shape memory alloy (SMA) dampers to preserve a historical minaret is investigated. The proposed studied case, the minaret of Mansourah, is a seven century old minaret located in Tlemcen, Algeria. Its original height was of 47m, while nowadays, the monument is half destructed and its current height reaches the 40m. The proposed seismic retrofit is based on the technique that utilizes SMA wires as dampers for the upper flexible part of the minaret. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is numerically evaluated via non-linear finite element analysis using the structural software ANSYS. The effectiveness of the proposed device in mitigating the seismic hazard is demonstrated by the effective reduction in its dynamic response.

This work presents a low-voltage static random access memory (SRAM) technique based on a dual-boosted cell array. For each read/write cycle, the wordline and cell power node of selected SRAM cells are boosted into two different voltage levels. This technique enhances the read static noise margin to a sufficient level without an increase in cell size. It also improves the SRAM circuit speed due to an increase in the cell read-out current. A 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS 256-kbit SRAM macro is fabricated with the proposed technique, which demonstrates 0.8 V operation with 50 MHz while consuming 65 ${\mu}W$/MHz. It also demonstrates an 87% bit error rate reduction while operating with a 43% higher clock frequency compared with that of conventional SRAM.

Recently, the fuzzy theory has been adopted broadly to the applications of image processing. Especially the fuzzy clustering algorithm is adopted to image segmentation to reduce the ambiguity and the influence of noise in an image.But this needs lots of memory and execution time because of the great deal of image data. Therefore a new image segmentation algorithm is needed which reduces the memory and execution time, doesn't change the characteristices of the image, and simultaneously has the same result of image segmentation as the conventional fuzzy clustering algorithm. In this paper, for image segmentation, an extended fuzzy clustering algorithm is proposed which uses the occurence of data of the same characteristic value as the weight of the characteristic value instead of using the characteristic value directly in an image and it is proved the memory reduction and execution time reducted in comparision with the conventional fuzzy clustering algorithm in image segmentation.

In order to solve the problem of uncovered background region due to the region-due to the region-based motion estimation, this paper presents a new method which generates the uncovered region memory using motion estimation and shows the application of the algorithm for very low bit rate video coding. The proposed algorithm can be briefly described as follows it detects the changed region by using the information of FD(frame difference) and segmentation, and then as for only that region the backward motion estimation without transmission of shape information is done. Therefore, from only motion information the uncovered background region memory is generated and updated. The contents stored in the uncovered background region memory are referred whenever the uncovered region comes into existence. The regions with large prediction error are transformed and coded by using DCT. As results of simulation, the proposed algorithm shows the superior improvement in the subjective and objective image quality due to the remarkable reduction of transmission bits for prediction error.

형상기억합금 선(Shape Memory Alloy Fibers ： SMA Fibers)을 삽입한 복합재료 평판의 고온 환경에서의 열적 좌굴 및 진동 해석을 유한요소법을 이용하여 수행하였다 1 차 전단변형이론을 적용하여 적층판을 모델링하였고, 온도 변화 효과는 적층판의 전 영역에서 균일한 온도 분포로 가정하였다. 형상기억합금 선의 온도에 대한 비선형 재료 성질을 고려하여 열적 좌굴 해석 수행 시 반복 계산법을 이용하였고, 자유 진동 해석에서는 시스템의 자유도를 줄이기 위하여 Guyan-Reduction(CR)을 사용하였다. 온도 변화와 형상기억합금 선의 체적비(volume fraction) 및 초기 변형률(initial strain) 변화에 따른 임계 온도와 고유 진동수의 특성을 해석하였다.

The RGO with controllable oxygen functional groups is a novel material as the active layer of resistive switching memory through a reduction process. We designed a nanoscale conductive channel induced by local oxygen ion diffusion in an Au / RGO+GQD / Al resistive switching memory structure. A strong electric field was locally generated around the Al metal channel generated in BIL, and the local formation of a direct conductive low-dimensional channel in the complex RGO graphene quantum dot region was confirmed. The resistive memory design of the complex RGO graphene quantum dot structure can be applied as an effective structure for charge transport, and it has been shown that the resistive switching mechanism based on the movement of oxygen and metal ions is a fundamental alternative to understanding and application of next-generation intelligent semiconductor systems.

A variety of power reduction technologies is introduced and the benefits of the technologies are discussed. PenTile$^{(R)}$ DBLC (Dynamic Brightness LED Control) combined with SABC (Sensor-Based Adaptive Brightness Control) enables to achieve the average LED power consumption to one third. The panel power reduction of 25% can be achieved with low power driving technology, ALS (Active Level Shifter). MIP (Memory In Pixel) is expected to be useful in transflective display because the whole display area can be utilized in reflective mode with power consumption of 1mW.

적분영상은 입력영상의 픽셀 값을 기준좌표부터 순차적으로 누적하여 만든 영상으로, Haar-like features와 같은 네모난 박스 모양의 필터 연산을 효율적으로 처리하기 위하여 사용된다. 그러나 적분영상은 입력영상보다 3배 이상 많은 메모리를 소모하기 때문에, 메모리 자원이 제한적인 하드웨어 설계 환경에서는 사용이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 메모리 사용을 위한 적분영상 하드웨어 설계 방법을 제안한다. 해당 방법은 적분영상 이외에 세로적분영상과 가로적분영상을 생성하고, 입력영상을 재사용 하는 방법을 사용한다. 그리고 박스 필터의 크기에 따라 modulo 연산을 적용하여 적분영상의 데이터 크기를 줄이는 방법을 함께 적용하였다. 적분 영상 데이터를 읽기 위해 나누어진 영상 데이터를 다시 덧셈해야하는 연산 오버헤드가 발생하지만, 4개의 데이터를 단순히 더하는 연산이므로 병렬처리가 가능한 하드웨어 환경에서는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는다. Xilinx사의 Virtex5-LX330T를 대상으로 실험한 결과 $640{\times}480$ 크기의 8bit gray-scale 입력영상에서 최대 $32{\times}32$ 크기의 필터사용을 기준으로 50%의 적분영상 메모리를 감소시킬 수 있다.

단순 모니터에서 CPU, 메모리, 그리고 하드디스크를 갖춘 셋탑박스에 이르기까지 내장형 시스템은 다양한 응용에 사용되고 있다. 특히 휴대용 또는 소형기기에 멀티미디어를 서비스하는 경우가 증가하고 있고 이들 시스템에는 내장형 운영체제가 탑재되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 서비스를 위한 내장형 리눅스가 탑재된 임베디드 시스템에서 응용 프로그램과 운영체제 커널사이의 메모리 복사 요구를 감소시키는 Null copy기법을 제안한다. 저성능의 컴퓨팅 파워 및 저용량의 메모리를 가진 내장형 시스템에서 연속 미디어를 네트워크를 통해 실시간으로 전송하고자 할 때 Null copy 기법은 시스템의 QoS를 만족시킬 수 있다. 웹 카메라를 내장형 리눅스 개발 보드에 장착하여 영상 전송 환경을 구축한 결과 Null copy 기법은 CPU 이용률 및 마감시간 실패측면에서 기존 커널에 비해 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.
