FPGA-based system development is being developed as a form of outsourcing that shortens the development time and reduces the cost. Through the process, the risk of letting the hardware Trojan, which causes malfunctions, seep into the system also increases. Various detection methods are proposed for the issue; however, such type of hardware Trojans is inserted by modifying a bitstream directly and therefore, it is hard to detect with the suggested methods. To detect the type of hardware Trojans, it is essential to reverse-engineer the electric circuit implemented by bitstream to a distinguishable level. Specifically, it is important to reverse-engineer the routing information of the circuit that can identify the input-output flow of the signal. In this paper, we analyze the BIL bitstream reverse-engineering tool-chain that uses the algorithm, which retrieves the routing information from FPGA bitstream, and suggest the method to improve the tool-chain.

In this paper, link-level performance of a OFDMA technique, which has been considered as a standard for 802.16, 802.20, 3G-LTE, WiMax, and WiBro, is evaluated for next-generation wireless communication systems. While many researches have focused on uncoded forward-link performances, this paper provides a coded performance of a reverse-link OFDMA system. Performance degradation due to time offset among reverse-link users and frequency offset during FFT process is investigated. Transmitter and receiver antenna diversity techniques are used to overcome performance degradation. Performance of a OFDMA system is compared with a CDMA system in terms of FER and throughput to emphasize the advantage of OFDMA system for a reverse-link. Finally, under given specification, Eb/No required to achieve the maximum throughput of a reverse-link is proposed considering various coded rates and antenna permutations.

Objective: To evaluate the overall treatment effects in terms of the amount of uprighting with changes in the sagittal and vertical positions of mandibular molars after applying an orthodontic miniplate with a nickel-titanium (NiTi) reverse curve arch wire (biocreative reverse curve [BRC] system). Methods: A total of 30 female patients (mean age, 25.99 ± 8.96 years) were treated with the BRC system (mean BRC time, 10.3 ± 4.07 months). An I-shaped C-tube miniplate (Jin Biomed) was placed at the labial aspect for the alveolar bone of the mandibular incisors. A 0.017 × 0.025-inch NiTi reverse curve arch wire was engaged at the C-tube mini-plate anteriorly and the first and second premolars and molars posteriorly in the mandibular arch. Pre- and post-BRC lateral cephalograms were analyzed. A paired t-test was used to analyze the treatment effects of BRC. Results: The mandibular second molars were intrusively uprighted successfully by the BRC system. Distal uprighting with a controlled vertical dimension was noted on the first molars when they remained engaged in the BRC and the distal ends of the arch wire were laid on the second molars. The mandibular first and second premolars showed a slight extrusion. The changes in the mandibular incisors were unremarkable, while the mandibular molar angulation improved significantly. The lower occlusal plane rotated counterclockwise (MP-LOP: 1.13° ± 2.60°). Conclusions: The BRC system can provide very effective molar uprighting without compromising the position of the mandibular anterior teeth.

Various sources, such as wind, waves, ships, and gas leaks from the seafloor, forms bubbles in the ocean. Underwater bubbles cause signal scattering, considerably affecting acoustic measurements. This characteristic of bubbles is used to block underwater noise by attenuating the intensity of the propagated signal. Recently, researchers have been studying the large-scale release of methane gas as bubble plumes from the seabed. Understanding the physical properties and distribution of bubble plumes is crucial for studying the relation between leaked methane gas and climate change. Therefore, a water tank experiment was conducted to estimate the distribution of bubble plumes using seismic imaging techniques and acoustic signals obtained from artificially generated bubbles using a bubble generator. Reverse time migration was applied to image the bubble plumes while the acquired acoustic envelope signal was used to effectively estimate bubble distribution. Imaging results were compared with optical camera images to verify the estimated bubble distribution. The water tank experiment confirmed that the proposed system could successfully image the distribution of bubble plumes using reverse time migration and the envelope signal. The experiment showed that the scattering signal of artificial bubble plumes can be used for seismic imaging.

The reverse engineering (RE) technology can quickly generate 3D point cloud data of an object by capturing the surface of a model using a 3D scanner. In the rapid prototyping (RP) technology, prototypes are rapidly produced from 3D CAD models in a layer-by-layer additive basis. In this paper, a physical human head shape is duplicated using a new RP process, the Transfer-type Variable Lamination Manufacturing process using expandable polystyrene foam sheet (VLM-ST), after the point cloud data of a human head shape measured from 3D SNX scanner are converted to STL file. From the duplicated human head shape, it has been shown that the VLM-ST process in connection with the 3D scanner is a fast and efficient process in that shapes with free surface, such as the human head shape, can be duplicated with ease. Considering the measurement time and the shape duplication time, the use of 3D SNX scanner and the VLM-ST process is expected to reduce the lead-time fur the development of new products in comparison with the other existing RE-RP connected manufacturing systems.

The purpose of this study was the application of sequential analysis to mother-infant interaction data, with particular reference to goodness of fit. The subjects of this study were 22 7- to 16-month-old infants(12 girls and 10 boys) and their mothers. Each mother-infant dyad was videotaped in a 5-min free-play session in the playroom. The videotaped data was transcribed on the behavioral checklist every 3 seconds. The recorded raw data were lagged by one time interval (3 sec.). Transitional probabilities from behavior at time t-1 to behavior at time t were gathered. The statistical analysis of frequency data and transitional probabilities consisted of Z test, t test, and sign test. It was found that regarding 1) direction of effect: the transitional probability of infant vocalization following maternal vocalization was significantly higher than the reverse; the transitional probability of a 'Coacting State' following a 'Mother Active State' was significantly higher than the reverse; the probability of a 'Mother Active State' following 'Quiescent State' was significantly higher than that of a 'Coacting State' following an 'Infant Active State'; 2) sex differences: male infants' transitional probability from an 'Infant Active State' to a 'Quiescent State' was significantly higher than that of female infants; 3) age differences: more than younger infants older infants had higher transitional probabilities from a 'Mother Active State' to a 'Coacting State', from a 'Parallel State' to a 'Coacting State', and from a 'Quiescent State' to a 'Parallel State'. These showed goodness of fit for sex and age differences, particularily for direction of effect.

One of the most important things for quality to meet ship-production schedule is an accuracy control. A ship is assembled by welding through whole production process, so it is important that loss by correction will not happen as much as possible by using some engineering skills like reverse design, reverse setting and margin for thermal shrinkage. These efforts are a quite effective in fabrication stages, but not in erection stages. If a ship block which consists of common steel is exposed to directional solar radiation, its dimensional accuracy will change high as time by its thermal expansion coefficient. Therefore, the measuring work would be often done at dawn or evening even with having a very accurate device. In this study, an FE analysis method is developed to solve this problem. It can change measured data affected by solar thermal distortion to ones not, even though ship-block is measured at an arbitrary time. It will use the time when measuring, the direction of block and the weather record by satellites. It is confirmed by a comparison between measured data of a ship-block and the result by suggested analysis method. Furthermore, a pre-processing system is also developed for fast application of the suggested analysis method.

The objectives of this study are to measure the ball recovery rate of cleaning apparatus for plate heat exchanger. Ceramic ball is used for plate heat exchanger cleaning. The main components of cleaning apparatus are comprised of ball collector, ball trap, ejector, pump and plate heat exchanger. The ball recovery rate are obtained with change in recovery time and velocity of water. The results show that the ball recovery rate is slightly increased with increase in the recovery time and the velocity of water over 0.4 m/s in the straight flow. In the case of reverse flow, the ball recovery rate more increased than straight flow. The maximum ball recovery rate of the straight flow and reverse flow reach 83.97% and 86.61%, respectively, when the velocity and cleaning time are 0.5 m/s and 15min.

In this paper, a novel trench power MOSFET using a Separate-W-gated technique MOSFET (SWFET) is proposed. Because the SWFET has a very low $Q_{GD}$ compared to other forms of technology, it can be applied to high-speed power systems. The results found that the SWFET-applied $Q_{GD}$ was decreased by 40% when compared to simply using the more conventional trench gate MOSFET. $C_{ISS}$ (input capacitance : $C_{GS}+C_{GD}$), $C_{OSS}$ (output capacitance : $C_{GD}+C_{DS}$) and $C_{RSS}$ (reverse recovery capacitance : $C_{GD}$) were improved by 24%, 40%, and 50%, respectively. The switching characteristics of the inverter circuit shows a 24.9% enhancement of reverse recovery time, and the power efficiency of the DC-DC buck converter increased by 14.2%. In addition, the proposed SWFET does not require additional process steps and There was no degradation in the electrical performance of the current-voltage and on-resistance.

Endo- and exoproteases were used to hydrolyze Alaska pollack processing scrap. In 2 stage hydrolysis, the optimal conditions by Protamex were: temperature, $45.8^{\circ}C$; pH, 6.73; enzyme concentration, 0.11%; time, 105.5 min, whereas those by Flavourzyme were: temperature, $42.0^{\circ}C$; pH, 6.54; enzyme concentration, 0.28%; time, 20.4 hrs. But, the optimal conditions of 1 stage hydrolysis by equal proportion of Protamex and Flavourzyme were: temperature, $52.9^{\circ}C$; pH, 6.3; enzyme concentration, 0.46%; time 10.9 hrs. The contents of carbohydrate and ash were higher in the 2 stage hydrolyzate than the 1 stage, while that of crude lipid was in the reverse order. There were no significant differences in the contents of moisture and crude protein between both methods. The contents of total creatine and IMP, and viable cell counts were higher in the 1 stage hydrolyzate than the 2 stage, while the contents of TMAO, TMA, and Hx was in the reverse order. But, there were no significant differences in the contents of amino-N and color between both methods. The free amino acid contents of the 1 and 2 stage hydrolyzate were 2,741.77 and 3,529.47 mg/100 mL, respectively.
