In this paper, we developed a hardware architecture of Reed-Solomon RS(255,239) decoder for the DMB mobile terminals. The DMB provides multimedia broadcasting service to mobile terminals, hence it should have small dimension for low power and short decoding delay for real-time processing. We modified Euclid algorithm to apply it to the key equation solving which is the most complicated part of the RS decoding. We also designed a small finite field divider to avoid the use of large Inverse-ROM table, and it consumed 17 clocks. After synthesis with Synopsis on Samsung STD130 $0.18{\mu}m$ Standard Cell library, the Euclid block had 30,228 gates and consumed 288 clocks, which gave the 25% reduced area compared to other existing designs. The size of the entire RS decoder was about 45,000 gates.

This paper describes the design of high-performance pedestrian and vehicle detection circuit using the Haar-like features. The proposed circuit uses a sliding window for every image frame in order to extract Haar-like features and to detect pedestrians and vehicles. A total of 200 Haar-like features per sliding window is extracted from Haar-like feature extraction circuit and the extracted features are provided to AdaBoost classifier circuit. In order to increase the processing speed, the proposed circuit adopts the parallel architecture and it can process two sliding windows at the same time. We described the proposed high-performance pedestrian and vehicle detection circuit using Verilog HDL and synthesized the gate-level circuit using the 130nm standard cell library. The synthesized circuit consists of 1,388,260 gates and its maximum operating frequency is 203MHz. Since the proposed circuit processes about 47.8 $640{\times}480$ image frames per second, it can be used to provide the real-time detection of pedestrians and vehicles.

This paper proposes a hardware architecture for an efficient SAO(Sample Adaptive Offset) with low area for HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) encoder. SAO is a newly adopted technique in HEVC as part of the in-loop filter. SAO reduces mean sample distortion by adding offsets to reconstructed samples. The existing SAO requires a great deal of computational and processing time for UHD(Ultra High Definition) video due to sample by sample processing. To reduce SAO processing time, the proposed SAO hardware architecture processes four samples simultaneously, and is implemented with a 2-step pipelined architecture. In addition, to reduce hardware area, it has a single architecture for both luma and chroma components and also uses optimized and common operators. The proposed SAO hardware architecture is designed using Verilog HDL(Hardware Description Language), and has a total of 190k gates in TSMC $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS standard cell library. At 200MHz, it can support 4K UHD video encoding at 60fps in real time, but operates at a maximum of 250MHz.

As the technologies of semiconductor and multimedia communication have been improved. the high-quality video and the multi-channel audio have been highlighted. MPEG Audio Layer 3 decoder has been implemented as a Processor using a standard. Since the synthesis filter of MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 decoder requires the most outstanding operation in the entire decoder. the synthesis filter that can reduce the amount of operation is needed for the design of the high-speed processor. Therefore, in this paper, the synthesis filter. the most important part of MPEG Audio, is materialized in FPGA using the method of DAULT (distributed arithemetic look-up table). For the design of high-speed synthesis filter, the DAULT method is used instead of a multiplier and a Pipeline structure is used. The Performance improvement by 30% is obtained by additionally making the result of multiplication of data with cosine function into the table. All hardware design of this Paper are described using VHDL (VHIC Hardware Description Language) Active-HDL 6.1 of ALDEC is used for VHDL simulation and Synplify Pro 7.2V is used for Model-sim and synthesis.

For as to world, the concern about the environment problem is enhanced than any other time in the past because of being 21 century. And the environment problem is highlighted as the world-wide issue. The time of the environment problem intimidates the alive of the mankind and presence of an earth over the time. It becomes the essentiality not being selection in the personal living or the economical viewpoint now to prepare for the climatic modification. As to the company management, the green growth period which it excludes the environment management considering an environment, cannot carry on the company the continued management comes. That is, in the change center of the management paradigm, there is the environment management. Nearly, the greenhouse gas which the publication industry is the environmental toxic material like all industries is generated. The greenhouse gas is ejected in the process of running the manufacturing process and print shop of the various kinds material used as the raw material of the book. Particularly, the tree felling for getting the material of the paper is known to reach the direct influence on the global warming. This study does according to an object it considers and organizes the environment parameter based on this kind of fact as to the publication industry. And it is determined as the reference which is used as the basic materials preparing the case that carbon exhaust right transaction(CAP and TRADE) drawing are enforced in all industries and is sustainable the management of the publication industry and reduces the environmental risk among the company many risk management elements and plans and enforces the publication related policy that there is a value. In the printing publication industry, this study tried to inquire into elements discharging the environmental pollutant or the greenhouse gas. Additionally, in the printed publication production process, it tried to inquire into the effort for an environment-friendly and necessity at the printing paper and the printers ink, regarded as the element discharging the greenhouse gas all kinds of the printing materials, operation of the print shop and all kinds of the machines and recycle process, and etc. These considerations make these industrial field employees aware of the significance about a conservation and environmental protection. They try to give a help in the subsequent study producing quantitatively each environmental parameter emission of green house gas. This makes the calculation of the relative $CO_2$ output reproached ultimately possible. Meanwhile, in a sense, many research protects and improving an environment in connection with the contents of research at the printing publication industrial field is in progress. There will be the voluntary human face that it has to protect an environment but this can not do by the outside factor according to all kinds of environment related law and regulation. Anyway, because of acting on company management as the factor of oppression, the increase of this environment-related correspondence cost could know that the research that the environment loading relates with a procurement and development, environment management system introduction, quality control standard, including, normalizing including a material, and etc. through the part of the effort to reduce the cost low was actively in progress. As to the green growth era, as follows, this paper prescribed the subject and alternative of the print publication industry. It is surrounded by the firstly new digital environment and the generation of the subject. And secondly the printing industry is caused by the point of time when the green growth leaves by the topic which is largest in the global industry and it increases. The printing publication industry has to prepare the bridgehead for the environment-friendly green growth as the alternative for this resolution with first. The support blown in each industry becomes the obligation not being selection. Prestek in which the print publishing was exposed to spend many energies and which is known as the practice of the sustainable print publishing insisted that it mentioned importance of the green printing through the white pages in 2008 and a company had to be the green growth comprised through the environment-friendly activity. The core management for the sustainable printing publication industry presented from Presstack white pages is compacted to 4 words that it is a remove, reduce, recover, and recycle. Second, positively the digital printing(POD) system should be utilized. In the worldwide print out market, the digital printing area stops at the level of 10% or so but the change over and growth of the market of an analog-to-digital will increase rapidly in the future. As to the CEO Jeff Hayes of the Infoland, the offset print referred to that it of the traditional method got old and infirm with the minor phase of the new printing application like the customer to be wanted publication and the print of the digital method led the market. In conclusion, print publishers have to grasp well the market flow in the situation where a digitalization cannot be generalized and a support cannot avoid. And it keeps pace with the flow of the digital age and the recognition about the effort for the development and environment problem have to be raised. Particularly, the active green strategy is employed for the active green strategy.
