현재 상용화된 사운드 합성 기기에서 널리 쓰이고 있는 PCM 방식에서의 문제점은 고음질의 음을 얻기 위해서 많은 메모리 용량을 필요로 하는 것이다. 이 논문에서는 이 문 제를 해결하기 위해 MPEG 오디오 압축 방식을 적용하여 샘플된 음을 압축하고, 실시간으 로 이를 복호화 해서 음을 합성해내는 사운드 합성 시스템을 설계하였다. 사운드 합성 시스 템은 마이크로프로세서, 음원 DSP, MPEG 오디오 복호화기로 구성되며, 44.1Khz의 샘플링 주파수로 32개의 음을 동시에 합성할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 설계 과정에서 각각의 기능 요 소를 C언어로 기술하여 사운드 합성 시스템에 대한 소프트웨어 모델을 작성하였다. 이것을 통해 미리 전체 시스템의 동작을 시뮬레이션하고, 압축 방식을 적용함으로써 발생될 수 있 는 여러 가지 문제점에 대한 해결 방안을 제시하였다. 시뮬레이터로 시스템의 동작을 검증 한 후, DSP와 MPEG 복호화기를 포함하는 사운드 합성 시스템을 VHDL로 설계하여 시뮬 레이션을 통해 하드웨어가 정상적으로 동작함을 확인하였다. MPEG 오디오 압축 방식을 이 용함으로써 메모리 용량 측면에서는 약8:1의 감소 효과를 얻을 수 있다.

A scheme is proposed for measuring similarities between the binary pulse signals in the pulse-code modulation using the Integra-Normalizer. The Integra-Normalizer provides a better interpretation of the relationship between the pulse signals by removing redundant codes, which maps all possible observed signals to one of the codes to be received with relative similarities between each pair of compared signals. The proposed method provides better error tolerance than L2 metric, such as Hamming distance, since the distances between pulse signals are measured not useful for the time-delay detection in the pulse-code modulation.

CMOS operational amplifier is most useful building bloch in analog circuit. This paper represents the analysis and design method of CMOS OP AMP to use general purpose such as the A/D and D/A converter, PCM encoder and decoder etc. The required specifications is obtained by changing W/L ration of CMOS devices. The design procedure must be iterative in as much as it is almost impossible to relate all specifications simultaneously. This is performanced with IBM-PC XT by using SPICE(SIMULATION PROGRAM WITH INTEGRATED CIRCUIT EMPHASIS)program.

Data access characteristics can directly affect the efficiency of the system execution. This research is to design an accurate predictor by using historical memory access information, where highly accessible data can be migrated from low-speed storage (SSD/HHD) to high-speed memory (Memory/CPU Cache) in advance, thereby reducing data access latency and further improving overall performance. For this goal, we design a locally weighted linear regression prefetch scheme to cope with irregular access patterns in large graph processing applications for a DARM-PCM hybrid memory structure. By analyzing the testing result, the appropriate structural parameters can be selected, which greatly improves the cache prefetching performance, resulting in overall performance improvement.

PRAM(Phase-Change RAM) is a promising memory that can solve the problem of conventional memory and has the nearly ideal memory characteristics. We reviewed the issues for high density PRAM integration. Writing current reduction is the most urgent problem for high density PRAM realization. So, we studied new constitution of $Ge_1Se_1Te_2$ chalcogenide material and presented the method of reducing the contact size between $Ge_1Se_1Te_2$ and electrode. A small-contact-area electrode is used primarily to supply current into and minimize heat loss from the chalcogenide. In this letter, we expect the method of reducing the contact size between $Ge_1Se_1Te_2$ and electrode to decrease writing current.

This paper presents the development of a nodal diffusion code, RAST-V, and its verification and validation for VVER (vodo-vodyanoi energetichesky reactor) analysis. A VVER analytic solver has been implemented in an in-house nodal diffusion code, RAST-K. The new RAST-K version, RAST-V, uses the triangle-based polynomial expansion nodal method. The RAST-K code provides stand-alone and two-step computation modes for steady-state and transient calculations. An in-house lattice code (STREAM) with updated features for VVER analysis is also utilized in the two-step method for cross-section generation. To assess the calculation capability of the formulated analysis module, various verification and validation studies have been performed with Rostov-II, and X2 multicycles, Novovoronezh-4, and the Atomic Energy Research benchmarks. In comparing the multicycle operation, rod worth, and integrated temperature coefficients, RAST-V is found to agree with measurements with high accuracy which RMS differences of each cycle are within ±47 ppm in multicycle operations, and ±81 pcm of the rod worth of the X2 reactor. Transient calculations were also performed considering two different rod ejection scenarios. The accuracy of RAST-V was observed to be comparable to that of conventional nodal diffusion codes (DYN3D, BIPR8, and PARCS).

Construction companies calculate their revenues and costs from constructing activities using the 'Percentage of Completion Method', which is based on ratio of actual construction cost to total costs estimated. The reliability of the net profit of construction companies is being evaluated lower than other industries due to incorrect application of 'Percentage of Completion Method' to cover losses actually occurred. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify the quality of earnings calculated based on 'Percentage of Completion Method' in terms of information usefulness. Results from empirical analysis show that investors in stock market underestimate the value of the construction companies' earning information by applying 'Percentage of Completion Method' and not actively use in investment decision making. Accordingly, it has been confirmed that the association between income information and stock prices falling. These results suggest the need for strict supervision of the supervisory authorities and the practical application of 'Percentage of Completion Method' in reliability.

To reduce the redundancy within samples that resulted from uniform sampling method, nonuniform sampling or nonredundant-sample coding methods can be considered. However, it is well known that when conventional nonuniform sampling methods are applied directly to speech signal, the required amount of data is comparable to or mure than that by uniform sampling method like PCM. To overcome this problem, a new nonuniform sampling method is proposed, in which nonuniform sampling is applied to the low-pass filtered speech signal and higher band is compensated by 8 colored Gaussian random noise with various noise levels. By this method, speech signal waveform can be encoded by 1.8 times larger compression ratio than the conventional nonuniform sampling method.

In this paper, a new method to reduce the size of ROM in the direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS) is proposed. This method use the sine-linear phase difference method and differential PCM. The new ROM compression method can reduce the ROM size by using the two ROM. The quantized value of sine-linear phase difference is saved by the ROM1 of the $2^N$ sample period. The ROM2 save the difference between the original sine-linear phase difference value and the saved sample value of the ROM1. The ROM compression ratio of 37% is achieved by this method. Also, the power consumption is decreased according to the ROM size reduction.

With the rise of economic and safety standards for nuclear reactors, new concepts of Gen-IV reactors and modular reactors showed more complex designs that challenge current tools for reactor physics analysis. A Monte Carlo (MC) two-step method was proposed in this work. This calculation scheme uses the continuous-energy MC method to generate multi-group cross-sections from heterogeneous models. The multi-group MC method, which can adapt locally-heterogeneous models, is used in the core calculation step. This calculation scheme is verified using a Gen-IV modular lead-based fast reactor (LFR) benchmark case. The influence of homogenized patterns, scatter approximations, flux separable approximation, and local heterogeneity in core calculation on simulation results are investigated. Results showed that the cross-sections generated using the 3D assembly model with a locally heterogeneous representation of control rods lead to an accurate estimation with less than 270 pcm bias in core reactivity, 0.5% bias in control rod worth, and 1.5% bias on power distribution. The study verified the applicability of multi-group cross-sections generated with the MC method for LFR analysis. The study also proved the feasibility of multi-group MC in core calculation with local heterogeneity, which saves 85% time compared to the continuous-energy MC.
