The report reviews recent research efforts in demonstrating a computing system whose operation principle mimics the dynamics of biological neurons. The temporal variation of the membrane potential of neurons is one of the key features that contribute to the information processing in the brain. We first summarize the neuron models that explain the experimentally observed change in the membrane potential. The function of ion channels is briefly introduced to understand such change from the molecular viewpoint. Dedicated circuits that can simulate the neuronal dynamics have been developed to reproduce the charging and discharging dynamics of neurons depending on the input ionic current from presynaptic neurons. Key elements include volatile memristors that can undergo volatile resistance switching depending on the voltage bias. This behavior called the threshold switching has been utilized to reproduce the spikes observed in the biological neurons. Various types of threshold switch have been applied in a different configuration in the hardware demonstration of neurons. Recent studies revealed that the memristor-based circuits could provide energy and space efficient options for the demonstration of neurons using the innate physical properties of materials compared to the options demonstrated with the conventional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductors (CMOS).

The purpose of this study is to develop three functions for smartphones and PCs using a textile touch sensor in an everyday sports jacket and to present their usefulness; to this end, we have developed a mutual capacitive textile touch sensor and corresponding structure, and we have implemented three functions into a textile touch sensor jacket, of which we also conducted a usability evaluation. The jacket has a sensor on the wrist of the left sleeve and a device on the left arm. The sensor system can be divided into three main categories: a sensor acting as a switch, a circuit connecting the sensor and the device, and the device that acts as power control and system on/off. The functions are implemented in the texture touch sensor jacket in three modes: cell phone mode, music mode, and PPT presentation mode. We conducted an evaluation of each function in each mode, which indicated that all functions performed well without errors and that the switch had excellent operation for the number and intensity of touch. In terms of usability in a humid environment, the performance of touch functions was found to be equally implemented. In the temperature environment, neither high nor low temperatures caused issues with the functions. A wearing satisfaction assessment evaluated psychological satisfaction, clothing convenience, device convenience, device usability, and device effectiveness. This research jacket is thought to be desirable for the relatively bendable, flexible, and intimate sensor used on the clothing, and the circuit made of conductive fabric tape.

This paper presents a standardization method for designing wire harness systems, based on the control types and functional blocks, for use in commercial vehicles. With a rapid increase in the installation of systems with added new features, it is very important to develop a reliable wire harness design in a short time by standardizing wire harness designs and reusing the standard design. Because the function of a system, particularly, for commercial vehicles, varies significantly on the basis of the requirements, regulations, and options, it is not effective to establish one standard design for one system. In addition, a system with the same function may differ in terms of the input conditions and output loads on the basis of the installed vehicle types, and it is not practical to standardize a harness design targeting an entire system. In this study, the wire harness designs of a system were classified into six categories based on the control types of the system: switch driven, control of a switch, control of an electronic control unit, unit driven, control of a unit, and connector operation. Then, a wire harness design of each system was divided into three blocks according to their functions: the control, drive, and monitoring blocks. The standard wire harness designs were made for each functional block of each control type. The advantage of this proposed method is that an effective and practical design can be obtained, which covers the diversities in the same system for different grades of commercial vehicles with a reduction in the number of wire harness supplements.

본 논문에서는 기존의 멀티캐스트 패킷 교환기의 문제점에 대한 개선 방안을 제안한다. 오버플로우에 의해 야기 되는 입력포트의 공평성 문제는 임의의 입력 포트로부터 복사 수를 가산 할 수 있는 동적 시작점 결정기에 의해 해결된다. 시작점은 매 타임 슬롯 마다 입력 버퍼의 점유도와 이전 타임 슬롯의 오버플로우를 기반으로 가변 된다. 입력 버퍼의 점유도를 이용함으로서 제안된 복사망은 기존의 방식에 비해 입력 트래픽의 변동에 대하여 우수한 적응성을 제공한다. 동적 시작점 결정기는 입력 트래픽의 양에 따라 복사 요청의 수를 제어하며 이것은 복사망의 전체 스루풋을 제고하는 필수적인 기능 이다. 오버플로우 발생시에 멀티캐스트 스위치의 스루풋을 향상시키는 호-분할(call-splitting) 방식도 동적 시작점 결정기에 의해 제공된다. 동적 시작점 결정기의 하드웨어는 고속 동작에 적합한 단순한 구조로 도출된다. 제안된 방식의 성능 평가를 위해 다양한 트래픽에 대한 모의 실험 결과가 제공된다.

본 논문은 산업현장 및 주거 공간에서 사용될 수 있는 폐기물 배출 및 처리를 위한, 센서 기반의 스마트 압축 시스템 구현에 관한 연구이다. 최근 산업 고도화에 따른 폐기물과 1인 가구의 증가 및 다양한 문화생활에 따른 주거용 폐기물의 양이 크게 증가되고 있으며 이로 인해 인간의 환경뿐만 아니라 해양오염, 토양오염 등 생태계까지 지속적인 악영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 유동 인구가 많은 도심지 및 산업현장에서는 폐기물 배출량을 효율적으로 처리할 수 있는 방안이 요구되고 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 폐기물 투입의 동작을 감지하고 투입된 폐기물의 양을 인지하도록, 다양한 센서들을 구비하여 자동압축과 개폐기능을 갖춘 시스템을 구현하고자 한다. 적외선 감지 센서를 통해 움직임을 감지하거나, 충격 센서를 이용하여 외부 신호를 받아들여 투입구를 자동으로 개폐할 수 있는 기능을 설계하였고 거리센서를 장착하여 내부 폐기물양을 외부에서도 쉽게 모니터링 할 수 있게 하였다. 또한 수동 개폐 및 압축 기능을 추가적으로 구현하여 필요에 따라 사용자가 직접 동작이 가능하도록 구현하여 시스템의 효용성을 높였다. 최종적으로 스마트 압축시스템을 제작, 평가하여 사용자 편의 및 구현성을 검증하였다.

In this study, we propose reliability prediction of a satellite by function analysis. To do so, the intended functions of the satellite are derived from using function structure block diagram, and defined as main, sub, and detailed functions. Furthermore, in order to generate function and reliability structure table, reliability model rule, duty cycle, and types of switch are assigned to the classified functions. This study also establishes reliability block diagram and mathematical reliability models to schematize the relationship among the functions. The reliability of the classified function is estimated by calculating the failure rate of parts comprising them. Finally, we apply the proposed method to a small satellite as a case study. The result shows that the reliability for the detailed function and the sub function as well as the main function could be predicted quantitatively and accurately by the proposed approach.

Cramped resonant DC link inverter is analyzed by widely available software such as SPICE. In this paper, the model of ACRDCL which is based on converter switch function rather than actual circuit configuration is used. Power circuit is modeled by functional transfer function and the controller is based on the macro-model. Computer memory and runtime are based reduced compared to micro-model. Overall performance including control strategy and harmonic characteristics in the steady state can be analyzed easily.

Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura can result from exposure to an antigen after infection with several types of organisms. However, Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura caused by a primary Epstein-Barr virus infection has been rarely reported. Here, we report the case of a 32-month-old female patient who presented with Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura. Based on abnormal liver function test results and positive results for Epstein-Barr virus infection markers, a diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus hepatitis manifesting as Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura was made. Treatment with methyl-prednisolone and hydration improved the symptoms, and a switch to oral steroids was effective in completely alleviating the purpura. No recurrence was noted and no liver function abnormalities were detected during the follow up period.
