Recently, design and construction of street tunnels tend to focus on cost reduction and preservation of nature. Accordingly, research is actively being carried out to quickly detect fires when they occur in tunnels, which have partially closed structures. Among such research, fire detection methods using optical fiber sensors have a wide bandwidth and fast transmission speed, while using light as a medium. Therefore, it does not receive electrical interference and there is almost no loss of information during transmission, while also having little noise as well. In relation to this, a fire monitoring system that can accurately detect the location of fires in real time using shape memory alloy and optical cables was developed in this study. In order to verify the developed method, light loss measurement test was conducted according to indoor temperature changes, while also conducting fire simulation tests by installing test beds in common underground zones with different external environments of temperature and distance. Upon carrying out experiments, the fire monitoring system developed in this study was found to be able to detect fires in long distance sections in real time.

This paper presents a transceiver design for DisplayPort interface using an optical channel. By converting the electronic channel to the optical channel, the DisplayPort's main channel can provide a high-speed data transmission for long distance. The design converting the electronic channel to the optical channel in the main channel and AUX channel of the DisplayPort is presented in this paper. Futhermore, the HPD signal transmission by using AUX channel is proposed. In order to minimize power consumption, this paper also proposed a method of controlling the TX block in the main link. The proposed system is designed by a FPGA and an optical module. The FPGA used 651 ALUT(adaptive look-up table)s, 511 resisters and 324 block memory bits. The maximum operating rate of the FPGA is 250MHz. With the proposed power control scheme, 740mW of power dissipation reduction can be achieved at the main link optical TX module.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Metadate CD (MCD) when given to Korean children and adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We also explored the effects of the drug on diverse neuro-cognitive functions. Methods : Ninety-one subjects with ADHD (mean age 8.6${\pm}$2.2 years) were recruited at 6 outpatient clinics in Seoul, Korea. We used the ADHD Rating Scale (ARS), Clinical Global Impression (CGI), and comprehensive attention test (CAT) to measure the drug's effects. Results : After 0.92${\pm}$0.32mg/kg/day of MCD were administered for 57.4${\pm}$7.6 days, there was a 48.5% reduction in the mean total ARS scores (p<.001). Fifty-seven subjects (64.8%) showed either much improved or very much improved outcomes on the CGI-Improvement scale. The CGI-Severity scale also decreased from an average of 4.7 to an average of 2.9 (p<.001). Errors and response time standard deviations of the CAT, sustained attention test-to-response tasks, the flanker test, and divided attention test scores decreased after treatment (p<.05). The forward memory span of the spatial working memory test scores increased (p<.05). Thirty-five patients (39.8%) experienced side effects, of which the most common were headache (14.8%), nausea (12.5%), and anorexia (9.1%). Conclusion : This open-label study suggests that MCD is effective and safe in improving the symptoms and neurocognitive functions of Korean children and adolescents with ADHD.

The government is making great efforts to prevent crimes such as missing children by using public CCTVs. However, there is a shortage of operating manpower, weakening of concentration due to long-term concentration, and difficulty in tracking. In addition, applying real-time object search, re-identification, and tracking through a deep learning algorithm showed a phenomenon of increased parameters and insufficient memory for speed reduction due to complex network analysis. In this paper, we designed the network to improve speed and save memory through the application of Yolo v4, which can recognize real-time objects, and the application of Batch and TensorRT technology. In this thesis, based on the research on these advanced algorithms, OSNet re-ranking and K-reciprocal nearest neighbor for re-identification, Jaccard distance dissimilarity measurement algorithm for correlation, etc. are developed and used in the solution of CCTV national safety identification and tracking system. As a result, we propose a solution that can track objects by recognizing and re-identification objects in real-time within situation of a Korean public multi-CCTV environment through a set of algorithm combinations.

As the cell spacing decreases during the scaling process of DRAM(Dynamic Random Access Memory), the reduction in STI(Shallow Trench Isolation) thickness leads to an increase in sub-threshold leakage due to the passing word line effect. The increase in sub-threshold leakage current caused by the voltage applied to adjacent passing word lines affects the data retention time and increases the number of refresh operations, thereby contributing to higher power consumption in DRAM. In this paper, we identify the causes of the passing word line effect through TCAD Simulation. As a result, we confirm the DRAM operational conditions under which the passing word line effect occurs, and observe that this effect alters the proportion of the total leakage current attributable to different causes. Through this, we recognize the necessity to consider not only leakage currents due to GIDL(Gate Induced Drain Leakage) but also sub-threshold leakage currents, providing guidance for improving DRAM structure.

Most of the existing SoCs have shared bus architecture which always has a bottleneck state. The more IPs are in an SOC, the less performance it is of the SOC, Therefore, its performance is effected by the entire communication rather than CPU speed. In this paper, we propose cross-bar switch bus architecture for the reduction of the bottleneck state and the improvement of the performance. The cross-bar switch bus supports up to 8 masters and 16 slaves and parallel communication with architecture of multiple channel bus. Each slave has an arbiter which stores priority information about masters. So, it prevents only one master occupying one slave and supports efficient communication. We compared WISHBONE on-chip shared bus architecture with crossbar switch bus architecture of the SOC platform, which consists of an OpenRISC processor, a VGA/LCD controller, an AC97 controller, a debug interface, a memory interface, and the performance improved by 26.58% than the previous shared bus.

According to the compressive sensing theory, it is possible to perfectly reconstruct a signal only with a fewer number of measurements than the Nyquist sampling rate if the signal is a sparse signal which satisfies a few related conditions. From practical viewpoint for image applications, it is important to reduce its computational complexity and memory burden required in reconstruction. In this regard, a Block-based Compressive Sensing (BCS) scheme with Smooth Projected Landweber (BCS-SPL) has been already introduced. However, it still has the computational complexity problem in reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a method which modifies its stopping criterion, tolerance, and convergence control to make it converge faster. Experimental results show that the proposed method requires less iterations but achieves better quality of reconstructed image than the conventional BCS-SPL.

In this paper, we propose design of a high-performance vehicle imaging information system for an efficient vehicle imaging stabilization. The proposed system was designed the algorithm by divided as motion estimation and motion compensation. The motion estimation were configured as local motion vector estimation and irregular local motion vector detection, global motion vector estimation. The motion compensation was corrected for the four directions for compensate to the shake of vehicle video image using estimate GMV. The designed algorithm were designed the motion compensation technology chip by applied to IP for vehicle imaging stabilization. In this paper, the experimental results of the proposed vehicle imaging information system were proved to the effectiveness by compared with other methods, because imaging stabilization of moving vehicle was not used of memory by processing real-time. Also, it could be obtained to reduction effect of calculation time by arithmetic operation through to block matching.

In this study, we investigated the influence of the fabrication process of stacked capacitors on the cell capacitance by using Load Lock (L/L) LPCVD system for dielectric thin film of DRAM capacitor. As a result, it was confirmed that the capacitance difference of about 3-4 fF is obtained by reducing the effective thickness of the oxide film by about $6{\AA}$ compared to the conventional non-L/L device. In addition, Cs was found to be about 3-6 fF lower than the calculated value, even though the measurement range of the thickness of the nitride film as an insulating film was in a normal management range. This is because the node poly FI CD is managed at the upper limit of the spec, resulting in a decrease in cell surface area, which indicates a Cs reduction of about 2fF. Therefore, it is necessary to control the thickness of insulating film and CD management within 10% of the spec center value in order to secure stable Cs.
