스마트폰과 같은 무선 기기의 보급률이 높아지면서 오디오 및 비디오 스트리밍 서비스를 이용하는 사용자가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 또한 고속 네트워크 환경이 갖추어 짐에 따라 보다 나은 서비스 품질(QoS)에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 무선 환경에서는 불안정한 전송 채널로 인해 패킷의 손실이 빈번하게 발생하기 때문에, Scalable Video Coding (SVC) 영상 부호화 기법을 통하여 네트워크를 보다 더 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다. SVC 기법에서는 기본계층과 상위계층으로 부호화 정보를 구분하는데, 기본계층은 영상의 복원에 있어서 필수적인 저주파 성분을 형성하기 때문에 신뢰성 있는 전송이 필수적이다. 또한 상위계층은 고주파 성분을 형성하며 성공적인 수신 데이터의 양에 비례하여 비디오의 품질이 향상되기 때문에 채널 상황이 허용하는 한도 내에서 처리량(Throughput)을 높이는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 무조건적인 처리량의 향상보다는 SVC 비디오의 특징을 고려하여 평균 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 듀얼-채널 활용 기법을 제안한다. 즉, 기본계층에 대해서는 중복 전송방식을 통해 전송의 신뢰성을 향상시키고, 상위계층에 대해서는 분배 전송 방식을 통해 전송 속도 및 처리량을 향상시켰다. 그 결과, 무선 이동환경에서 보다 고수준의 비디오 서비스 제공이 가능해짐을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

모바일 단말과 같은 임베디드 환경은 범용 컴퓨터에 비하여 연산 성능이 현저히 낮다. 따라서 기존 얼굴 및 추적 알고리즘은 모바일 환경에서 적용하기에는 복잡도가 높아 검출 시간이 오래 걸리기 때문에 모바일 단말에서의 실시간 적용에는 적합하지 않다. 모바일 단말에서 실시간 시선 추적은 사용자와 단말 간의 양방향 멀티미디어 서비스를 가능하게 함으로써 단방향 서비스에 비해 고품질의 서비스를 제공할 수 있게 된다. 따라서 모바일 환경에 최적화된 실시간 시선 추적 기법의 개발이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 지상파 3D DMB 컨텐츠의 품질 향상을 위하여 단말에서 사용자 얼굴의 수평 위치를 실시간으로 추적할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 에지의 방향성을 이용하여 얼굴의 좌/우 경계 지점을 추정하며 컬러 에지 정보에 의하여 얼굴의 수평 위치 및 크기를 최종적으로 판단한다. 소벨 연산 과정에서의 경사도 벡터를 수직 방향으로 크기 투영한 데이터에서 얼굴의 경계 후보 지점들이 선택되며 정확한 판단을 위하여 평활화 방법 및 탐색 방법을 제안하였다. 일반적인 얼굴 검출 알고리즘은 멀티스케일의 특징 벡터를 사용하기 때문에 모바일 환경에서는 검출 시간이 오래 걸리지만 본 알고리즘은 수평 위치 검출이라는 제약 조건 하에서의 단일 스케일에서의 검출 방법이므로 기존 얼굴 검출 방법에 비하여 빠른 검출이 가능하다.

Three-dimensional (3-D) semiconductor nanoarchitectures, including nano- and micro- rods, pyramids, and disks, are emerging as one of the most promising elements for future optoelectronic devices. Since these 3-D semiconductor nanoarchitectures have many interesting unconventional properties, including the use of large light-emitting surface area and semipolar/nonpolar nano- or micro-facets, numerous studies reported on novel device applications of these 3-D nanoarchitectures. In particular, 3-D nanoarchitecture devices can have noticeably different current spreading characteristics compared with conventional thin film devices, due to their elaborate 3-D geometry. Utilizing this feature in a highly controlled manner, color-tunable light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were demonstrated by controlling the spatial distribution of current density over the multifaceted GaN LEDs. Meanwhile, for the fabrication of high brightness, single color emitting LEDs or laser diodes, uniform and high density of electrical current must be injected into the entire active layers of the nanoarchitecture devices. Here, we report on a new device structure to inject uniform and high density of electrical current through the 3-D semiconductor nanoarchitecture LEDs using metal core inside microtube LEDs. In this work, we report the fabrications and characteristics of metal-cored coaxial $GaN/In_xGa_{1-x}N$ microtube LEDs. For the fabrication of metal-cored microtube LEDs, $GaN/In_xGa_{1-x}N/ZnO$ coaxial microtube LED arrays grown on an n-GaN/c-Al2O3 substrate were lifted-off from the substrate by wet chemical etching of sacrificial ZnO microtubes and $SiO_2$ layer. The chemically lifted-off layer of LEDs were then stamped upside down on another supporting substrates. Subsequently, Ti/Au and indium tin oxide were deposited on the inner shells of microtubes, forming n-type electrodes of the metal-cored LEDs. The device characteristics were investigated measuring electroluminescence and current-voltage characteristic curves and analyzed by computational modeling of current spreading characteristics.

The flammable liquid conductivity is an important factor in determining the generation of electrostatic in fire and explosion hazardous areas, so it is necessary to study the physical properties of flammable liquids. In particular, the relevant liquid conductivity in the process of handling flammable liquids in relation to the risk assessment and risk control in fire and explosion hazard areas, such as chemical plants, is classified as a main evaluation item according to the IEC standard, and it is necessary to have flammable liquid conductivity measuring devices and related data are required depending on the handling conditions of the material, such as temperature and mixing ratio for preventing the fire and explosion related to electrostatic. In addition, IEC 60079-32-2 [Explosive Atmospheres-Part 32-2 (Electrostatic hazards-Tests)] refers to the measuring device standard and the conductivity of a single substance. It was concluded that there is no measurement data according to the handling conditions such as mixing ratio of flammable liquid and temperature together with the use and measurement examples. We have developed the measurement reliability by improving the structure, material and measurement method of measuring device by referring to the IEC standard. We have developed a measurement device that is developed and manufactured by itself. The test results of flammable liquid conductivity measurement and the data of the NFPA 77 (Recommended Practice on Static Electricity) Annex B Table B.2 Static Electric Characteristic of Liquids were compared and verified by conducting the conductivity measurement of the flammable liquid handled in the fire and explosion hazardous place by using Measuring / Data Acquisition / Processing / PC Communication. It will contribute to the prevention of static electricity related disaster by taking preliminary measures for fire and explosion prevention by providing technical guidance for static electricity risk assessment and risk control through flammable liquid conductivity measurement experiment. In addition, based on the experimental results, it is possible to create a big data base by constructing electrostatic physical characteristic data of flammable liquids by process and material. Also, it is analyzed that it will contribute to the foundation composition for adding the specific information of conductivity of flammable liquid to the physical and chemical characteristics of MSDS.

광유전학은 생체 조직 및 세포에서 유전공학적으로 발현된 광민감성 단백질을 이용하여 목표로 하는 분자/세포 활동을 조절하기 위한 광학 및 분자적 전략들의 조합이다. 광유전학은 빛을 이용하여 신경세포의 발화 여부를 결정하는 세포막 채널을 빨리 열고 닫는 방법을 포함한다. 이 기술은 녹조류의 광민감성 단백질들을 특정 뇌세포에 넣는데서 시작되었다. 이렇게 하면 세포들은 파랑이나 노락색의 펄스로 켜지거나 꺼질 수 있다. 빨리 개폐되는 광민감성 양이온 채널인 자연계에 존재하는 조류 단백질인 channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2)를 이용하여 활동전위의 숫자와 빈번도를 조절할 수 있다. ChR2는 다른 세포들은 영향을 주지 않으면서 한 유형의 신경세포만 조작할 수 있는 길을 제시하는데, 이는 전례가 없는 특이성이다. 이 기술은 빛을 이용하여 단일 발화와 시냅스 사건 수준에서 신경신호전달을 변경시킬 수 있도록 하여 신경과학자와 의생명공학자들에게 널리 적용될 수 있는 도구를 제공한다. 녹조류와 레이저, 유전자 치료, 광섬유의 희한한 조합은 이전에 결코 불가능했던 정밀도로 뇌 속 깊은 곳의 신경 회로 지도를 그릴 수 있도록 해주었다. 이것은 우울증, 불안, 정신분열, 중독, 수면병, 그리고 자폐증 같은 질환의 원인을 밝히는데 도움을 줄 것이다. 광유전학은 파킨슨병, 강박장애, 그리고 전기 펄스가 있는 다른 질환들을 치료하는데 사용되는 기존 이식 도구들을 개선시킬 수 있다. 광유전학 장치는 상기 장치들이 할 수 있는 것보다 더 많이 뇌세포의 특정 세포들을 대상으로 할 수 있다. 신경세포 이외의 일반 세포들에도 광유전학 도구들을 적용하는 연구들이 증가하고 있다.

This talk presents the overview of the author's research and development activities on fuzzy inference hardware. We involved it with two distinct approaches. The first approach is to use application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) technology. The fuzzy inference method is directly implemented in silicon. The second approach, which is in its preliminary stage, is to use more conventional microprocessor architecture. Here, we use a quantitative technique used by designer of reduced instruction set computer (RISC) to modify an architecture of a microprocessor. In the ASIC approach, we implemented the most widely used fuzzy inference mechanism directly on silicon. The mechanism is beaded on a max-min compositional rule of inference, and Mandami's method of fuzzy implication. The two VLSI fuzzy inference chips are designed, fabricated, and fully tested. Both used a full-custom CMOS technology. The second and more claborate chip was designed at the University of North Carolina(U C) in cooperation with MCNC. Both VLSI chips had muliple datapaths for rule digital fuzzy inference chips had multiple datapaths for rule evaluation, and they executed multiple fuzzy if-then rules in parallel. The AT & T chip is the first digital fuzzy inference chip in the world. It ran with a 20 MHz clock cycle and achieved an approximately 80.000 Fuzzy Logical inferences Per Second (FLIPS). It stored and executed 16 fuzzy if-then rules. Since it was designed as a proof of concept prototype chip, it had minimal amount of peripheral logic for system integration. UNC/MCNC chip consists of 688,131 transistors of which 476,160 are used for RAM memory. It ran with a 10 MHz clock cycle. The chip has a 3-staged pipeline and initiates a computation of new inference every 64 cycle. This chip achieved an approximately 160,000 FLIPS. The new architecture have the following important improvements from the AT & T chip: Programmable rule set memory (RAM). On-chip fuzzification operation by a table lookup method. On-chip defuzzification operation by a centroid method. Reconfigurable architecture for processing two rule formats. RAM/datapath redundancy for higher yield It can store and execute 51 if-then rule of the following format: IF A and B and C and D Then Do E, and Then Do F. With this format, the chip takes four inputs and produces two outputs. By software reconfiguration, it can store and execute 102 if-then rules of the following simpler format using the same datapath: IF A and B Then Do E. With this format the chip takes two inputs and produces one outputs. We have built two VME-bus board systems based on this chip for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The board is now installed in a robot at ORNL. Researchers uses this board for experiment in autonomous robot navigation. The Fuzzy Logic system board places the Fuzzy chip into a VMEbus environment. High level C language functions hide the operational details of the board from the applications programme . The programmer treats rule memories and fuzzification function memories as local structures passed as parameters to the C functions. ASIC fuzzy inference hardware is extremely fast, but they are limited in generality. Many aspects of the design are limited or fixed. We have proposed to designing a are limited or fixed. We have proposed to designing a fuzzy information processor as an application specific processor using a quantitative approach. The quantitative approach was developed by RISC designers. In effect, we are interested in evaluating the effectiveness of a specialized RISC processor for fuzzy information processing. As the first step, we measured the possible speed-up of a fuzzy inference program based on if-then rules by an introduction of specialized instructions, i.e., min and max instructions. The minimum and maximum operations are heavily used in fuzzy logic applications as fuzzy intersection and union. We performed measurements using a MIPS R3000 as a base micropro essor. The initial result is encouraging. We can achieve as high as a 2.5 increase in inference speed if the R3000 had min and max instructions. Also, they are useful for speeding up other fuzzy operations such as bounded product and bounded sum. The embedded processor's main task is to control some device or process. It usually runs a single or a embedded processer to create an embedded processor for fuzzy control is very effective. Table I shows the measured speed of the inference by a MIPS R3000 microprocessor, a fictitious MIPS R3000 microprocessor with min and max instructions, and a UNC/MCNC ASIC fuzzy inference chip. The software that used on microprocessors is a simulator of the ASIC chip. The first row is the computation time in seconds of 6000 inferences using 51 rules where each fuzzy set is represented by an array of 64 elements. The second row is the time required to perform a single inference. The last row is the fuzzy logical inferences per second (FLIPS) measured for ach device. There is a large gap in run time between the ASIC and software approaches even if we resort to a specialized fuzzy microprocessor. As for design time and cost, these two approaches represent two extremes. An ASIC approach is extremely expensive. It is, therefore, an important research topic to design a specialized computing architecture for fuzzy applications that falls between these two extremes both in run time and design time/cost.

A motion controller has been used variously in industry such as semiconductor manufacture equipment, industrial robot, assembly/conveyor line applications and CNC equipment. There are several types of controller in motion control. One of these is a PC-based motion controller such as PCI or ISA, and another is stand-alone motion controller. The PC bus-based motion controller is popular because of improving bus architectures and GUI (Graphic User Interface) that offer convenience of use to user. There are some problems in this. The PC bus-based solution allows for only one of the form factors, so it has a poor flexibility. The overall system package size is bigger than other motion control system. And also, additional axes of control require additional slot, however the number of slots is limited. Furthermore, unwieldy and many wirings come to connect plants or I/O. The stand-alone motion controller has also this limit of axes of control and wiring problems. To resolve these problems, controller must have capability of operating as stand-alone devices that resides outside the computer and it needs network capability to communicate to each motion device. In this paper, a network-based stand-alone motion system is proposed. This system integrates PC and motion controller into one stand-alone motion system, and uses CAN (Controller Area Network) as network protocol. Single board computer that is type of 3.5" FDD form factor is used to reduce the system size and cost. It works with Windows XP Embedded as operating system. This motion system operates by itself or serves as master motion controller that communicates to slave motion controller. The Slave motion controllers can easily connect to master motion system through CAN-network.

Transposons, present in the genomes of all living organisms, are genetic element that can change positions, or transpose, within the genome. Most genomes contain several kinds of transposable elements and the molecular details of the mechanisms by which these transposons move have recently been uncovered in many families of transposable elements. Transposition is brought about by an enzyme known as transposaese encoded by the autonomous transposon itself, but, in the unautonomous transposon lacking the gene encoding the transposase, movement occurs only at the presence of the enzyme encoded by the autonomous one. There are two types of transposition events, conservative and replicative transposition. In the former the transposon moves without replication, both strands of the DNA moving together from one place to the other while in the latter the transposition frequently involves DNA replication, so one copy of transposon remains at its original site as another copy insole to a new site. The insertion of transposon into a gene can prevent it expression whereas excision from the gene may restore the ability of the gene to be expressed. There are marked similarities between transposons and certain viruses having single stranded Plus (+) RNA genomes. Retrotransposons, which differ from the ordinary transposons in that they transpose via an RNA-intermediate, behave much like retroviruses and have a structure of integrated retrovial DNA when they are inserted to a new target site. An insertional mutagenesis called transposon-tagging is now being used in a number of plant species to isolate genes involved in developmental and metabolic processes which have been proven difficult to approach by the traditional methods. Attempts to device a transposon-tagging system based on the maize Ac for use in heterologous species have been made by many research workers.

본 논문은 최근 물체탐지 분야에서 실시간 물체 탐지 알고리즘으로 주목을 받고 있는 YOLOv2(You Only Look Once) 알고리즘을 이용하여 밀집 영역에 주차되어 있는 자동차 탐지 방법을 제안한다. YOLO의 컨볼루션 네트워크는 전체 이미지에서 한 번의 평가를 통해서 직접적으로 경계박스들을 예측하고 각 클래스의 확률을 계산하고 물체 탐지 과정이 단일 네트워크이기 때문에 탐지 성능이 최적화 되며 빠르다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 기존의 슬라이딩 윈도우 접근법과 R-CNN 계열의 탐지 방법은 region proposal 방법을 사용하여 이미지 안에 가능성이 많은 경계박스를 생성하고 각 요소들을 따로 학습하기 때문에 최적화 및 실시간 적용에 어려움을 가지고 있다. 제안하는 연구는 YOLOv2 알고리즘을 적용하여 기존의 알고리즘이 가지고 있는 물체 탐지의 실시간 처리 문제점을 해결하여 실시간으로 지상에 있는 자동차를 탐지하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 연구 방법의 실험을 위하여 오픈소스로 제공되는 Darknet을 사용하였으며 GTX-1080ti 4개를 탑재한 Deep learning 서버를 이용하여 실험하였다. 실험결과 YOLO를 활용한 자동차 탐지 방법은 기존의 알고리즘 보다 물체탐지에 대한 오버헤드를 감소 할 수 있었으며 실시간으로 지상에 존재하는 자동차를 탐지할 수 있었다.

IEC 규격을 기반으로 최근에 개정된 KS 규격에 따라 등전위 접지시스템이 중요하게 자리매김 하였으며, 전원시스템의 안정성을 위해 서지보호소자의 사용이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 내재된 비선형 저항성분으로 뛰어난 V-I 특성을 가지는 $Z_nO$ 바리스터는 서지전압을 제한하여 서지전류로 환류시키기 위해 전원용 보호기로 주로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 $Z_nO$ 바리스터는 교류 전원선에 접속하기 위해서 몇 가지 회로조합 형태로 구성되어 사용되는데, 사용자는 바리스터를 직렬 혹은 병렬로 조합하여 사용함에 있어서 안전에 직접적으로 관련된 기능이나 열적 안정성을 포함한 많은 것들을 고려하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 40[kA]의 전류용량을 가지는 단일 바리스터 소자와 직렬 혹은 병렬 회로조합의 바리스터에 대하여 잔류전압, 방전전류, 누설전류, 표면온도를 측정하여 각각의 조합형태에 따라 안정성을 비교하였다.
