This paper presents a system-on-chip prototype implementing a full integration for a portable digital audio system. The chip is composed of a audio processor block to implements audio decoding and voice compression or decompression software, a system control block including 8-bit MCU core and Memory Management Unit (MMU) a low power 16-bit ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ CODEC, two DC-to-BC converter, and a flash memory controller. In order to support other audio algorithms except Mask ROM type's fixed codes, a novel 16-bit fixed-point DSP core with the program-download architecture is proposed. Funker, an efficient power management technique such as task-based clock management is implemented to reduce power consumption for portable application. The proposed chip has been fabricated with a 4 metal 0.25um CMOS technology and the chip area is about 7.1 mm ${\times}$ 7.1mm with 100mW power dissipation at 2.5V power supply.

Low-power design is one of the most important challenges encountered in maximizing battery life in portable devices as well as saving energy during system operation. In this paper we propose a low-power DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) architecture using a modified Computation Sharing Multiplication (CSHM). The overall rate of power consume is reduced during DCT: the proposed architecture does not perform arithmetic operations on unnecessary bits during the Computation Sharing Multiplication calculations. Experimental results show that it is possible to reduce power dissipation up to about $7{\sim}8%$ without compromising the final DCT results. The proposed lowpower DCT architecture can be applied to consumer electronics as well as portable multimedia systems requiring high throughput and low-power.

The fuel cells for portable application are attracted using a liquid fuel such as methanol and chemical hydride solutions. Recently, DBFC [Direct Borohydride Fuel Cell] is a candidate for power of portable electronic devices. In this work, the anion exchange membrane and non-precious catalyst for the DBFC were concerned. Anion-exchange membrane was fabricated by amination of polysulfone followed chloromethylation. Non-precious catalysts such as raney-Ni and Ag were used as an anode and cathode catalyst. The optimum conditions of catalyst slurry mixing and MEA fabrication were developed. The single cell performance using anion exchange membrane and non-precious catalyst was evaluated and the results were compared with cation exchange membrane [Nafion membrane] and precious catalysts.

In this paper, we developed a file system architecture for portable multimedia devices. To enhance user convenience, the information about the stored files should be easily retrieved and organized. We defined NMD (Networked MetaData), which can organize the files in networked fashion by attaching user-defined attributes and relation between files. The NMD is stored in flash memory to utilize its nonvolatile property and low-power consumption, while multimedia files are stored in hard disk, an inexpensive mass storage. The experimental implementation showed that this architecture was able to save about 10% power compared to the hard disk NMD-store.

The laser interferometer has been used for measurement of the micro displacement error. Although the laser interferometer is widely accepted as a tool for measurement of motion accuracy, the set-up procedure is time-consuming because of the strict requirement on alignment between a laser head and optic units. This paper addresses the development of a laser interferometer to measure the micro displacement for a micro machine. The portable laser interferometer which integrates a laser probe and optics, is developed for the convenient measurement. For the experiment, moving mirror set up on the micro stage. The velocity decoding board is also added to calculate doppler shift frequency directly. The output signal is obtained and analyzed by LabView. Finally experiments are found out the relation between micro displacement and output signal.

The gas leak and explosion accident is able to give a fatal injury to nearby people from the explosion center and interest in effect of the explosion on the human body is increased. Accidents by Portable Butane Gas Range of a gas explosion accident occupy the most share. As a result, the injury on the human body frequently occur. However, It is situation that are experiencing difficulties in consequence analysis of explosion accidents owing to shortage of explosion power data and lack of research on the effect of the human body by the gas explosion. This paper acquire human injury data by performing the actual explosion experiment with Portable Butane Gas Range and evaluate power by explosion and effect of explosion on the human body to perform explosion simulation with LS-DYNA program. It is intended to contribute to the exact cause of the accident investigation and the same type of accident prevention.

최근 휴대용 임베디드(Embedded) 시스템들은 크기는 작아지나 사용자들의 요구를 만족시키기 위해서 여러 가지 복합적인 기능을 내장하고 있다. 복합적인 기능 수행을 하기 위해서는 처리 능력이 뛰어난 프로세서들을 사용해야만 하고 시스템의 크기를 줄이기 위해서 적은 용량의 배터리를 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러므로 시스템을 한번 충전한 후에 사용할 수 있는 배터리 사용 시간(Battery Life Time)은 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 시스템의 배터리 사용 시간을 늘리기 위해서는 효율적인 전원 설계, 기능 수행에 따른 전력 관리 그리고 프로세서의 전압과 프로세서 클럭(Clock)의 주파수를 최적화하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 전력 효율을 예측하여 시스템의 전체적인 전력 효율을 최적화하는 전원 구성을 하였으며 각 기능에 따른 전력 관리를 위해서 음악 파일 재생과 동영상 파일 재생을 위한 마이크로 프로세서를 사용하고 디지털 멀티미디어 방송(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 시청을 위한 별도의 마이크로 프로세서를 사용함으로써 음악 재생과 동영상 재생 시에는 디지털 멀티미디어 방송시청을 위한 마이크로 프로세서에 전원 공급을 차단함으로써 전력 관리를 최적화한다. 마지막으로 시스템에서 사용되는 프로세서들의 전력 관리를 위해 가변 전압 주파수 스케일링(Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling)을 적용하여 프로세서들 또한 최적화하고 실제 구현된 시스템에 실험 결과들을 통하여 감소된 소비 전력의 결과를 보여준다.
