Recently, due to the increase of power conversion devices and nonlinear loads with the development of information, communication and control technologies, the instantaneous minute interruption factors such as voltage & current harmonics, surge occurring frequency, instantaneous voltage variation, voltage unbalance, flicker etc. have greatly threatened the power quality, and the deterioration of electric power facilities and the functional error of controllers are increasing. As such an instantaneous minute interruption appears to be small and local, accurate evaluation with measurement is difficult and total analysis system is required through a wide range of power quality effect analysis such as the simultaneous measurement on various power supply phenomena and the analysis on the interrelation with system loads. Most of conventional power quality diagnosis equipments have beer developed and applied, which were able to measure the stability rate of frequency, the stability rate of voltage, the electricity-failure duration etc, However, they were insufficient to analyze the system present situation, understand the cause of the failure occurred by the problem of power quality and analyze out the phenomena. Accordingly, this study will address the development of the system for a wide range of power quality diagnosis over the present level, the system for supporting the determination such as the analysis on risk factors, failure mode and impact, the system for harmonic evaluation based on international standards(IEC 61000 Series) and the total power quality diagnosis network & system with the extension and openness as a local and national-scale broadband power quality diagnosis system.

Since the early age of computer graphics, facial animation has been applied to various fields, and nowadays it has found several novel applications such as virtual reality(for representing virtual agents), teleconference, and man-machine interface.When we want to apply facial animation to the system with multiple participants connected via network, it is hard to animate facial expression as we desire in real-time because of the size of information to maintain an efficient communication.This paper's major contribution is to adapt 'Level-of-Detail'to the facial animation in order to solve the above problem.Level-of-Detail has been studied in the field of computer graphics to reperesent the appearance of complicated objects in efficient and adaptive way, but until now no attempt has mode in the field of facial animation. In this paper, we present a systematic scheme which enables this kind of adaptive control using Level-of-Detail.The implemented system can generate speech synchronized facial expressions with various types of user input such as text, voice, GUI, head motion, etc.

Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (S-DMB) is the digital convergence service of broadcasting and communication for mobility and portability. Broadcasting service of S-DMB can be taken by the mobile phone or vehicle terminals anytime and anywhere. S-DMB system is currently providing 11 video channels and 26 audio channels. As the demand of multimedia service is recently increasing, S-DMB system needs high quality and new contents service. Therefore we need to make efficient S-DMB with more channel ability and high transmission quality. In this paper, we propose new S-DMB system that can be applied to powerful channel coding scheme and hierarchical 8-PSK(8-Phase Shift Keying) modulation with Backwards Compatibility modes that simultaneously can support both current and new system. And we analyze the performance of current S-DMB system and verify a possibility of advanced S-DMB through computer simulation.

This paper determined students' ranks of difficulty on the use of materials in terms of 1) understanding the layout of the learning materials, 2) reading comprehension of the learning materials, and 3) realization on relevance to needs of the learning materials. It also determined students' 4) rank and frequency of attitude on the materials. With the data gathered through 128 survey questionnaires, 7 focused group discussions, and 10 interviews, the results were found out that there was an inappropriate assessment procedure set by this particular university. The researcher concludes that: 1) design of four types of classes by just using the two textbooks with their respective workbooks is grammar-based with limited conversation activities; 2) placement for these students in one big class size was implemented without considering their common interest and motivation and language levels; and, 3) qualification of teachers teaching these EFL students did not support students' real needs and the language program itself. Content professors who were made to teach may have the ability to input learning, but their teaching styles may differ from the ones who are real English teachers. This paper then recommends that teachers and school administration should have an appropriate placement exam before students attend the class, especially in a big class size. There could only be a few problems among students in one big class size when students' level of competence is proportioned. With this, topics and conversation activities can even be more flexible with the maneuver of art of questioning, various dimensions of thinking, strategic competence, learning attitude or behavior, etc. to ensure sustenance of communicative mode and level of interest and motivation in the classroom. Grammar-based instruction can only be taught when a need arises. Thus, the course description of each class will be able to transact the objectives ready for developing students' communication competence. Moreover, proper measurement can be utilized to validly assess the amount of students' learning and the progress of language curriculum design in terms of materials selection and teaching approach.

Automatic feed pumps are operated and stopped by a pressure switch. Thus, because of repeated operations and stops of the pumps according to fluctuations of water volume, operation with constant rate and pressure is impossible. Moreover, because of repeated running of the pump, keeping up of constant pressure is impossible and damage and energy loss are weak points of the pimps. To make up for defects of an automatic feed pump, this paper designed and made a static pressure feed system which was composed of a feed water control valve, a flow sensor and a control system. The valve device plays an important part in reducing load of pumps by constant water supply regardless of outflow of water. Outflow of water is determined by infrared diode of the flow sensor. The control system is made of a 8 bit micro-processor and the pump was controled by a specific control algorithm. With the constant pressure feed system, discharge pressure was kept at fixed pressure, accurate operations and stops were smoothly accomplished and the pump was operated with constant pressure. Thus, the constant pressure feed system can be considered as an advanced system which made up for the weak points in the current automatic feed systems.

In this paper, we propose a FSOURCE circuit which requires such a small switching current that an eFuse OTP memory can be programmed in the post-package state of the PMIC chips using a single power supply. The proposed FSOURCE circuit removes its short-circuit current by using a non-overlapped clock and reduces its maximum current by reducing the turned-on slope of its driving transistor. Also, we propose a DOUT buffer circuit initializing the output data of the eFuse OTP memory with arbitrary data during the power-on reset mode. We design a 24-bit differential paired eFuse OTP memory which uses Magnachip's $0.35{\mu}m$ BCD process, and the layout size is $381.575{\mu}m{\times}354.375{\mu}m$($=0.135mm^2$).

RC6 which has different algorithm of encryption and decryption has been proposed to have the same algorithm between encryption and decryption through inserting symmetry layer using simple rotate and logical operation. That means the half of whole RC6 round uses encryption algorithm and the rest of it uses decryption one and symmetry layer has been put into the middle of encryption and decryption. The proposed RC6 algorithm has no difference with the original one in the speed of process. However it is quite safe because by inserting symmetry layer the path of high probability which is needed for differential and linear analysis is cut off so that it is hard to be analyzed. The proposed symmetry layer algorithm can be easily applied to the algorithm which has different encryption and decryption and make it same, and it can be good idea to be used to design a new block cipher algorithm.

Recently, the ERO protocol has been adopted as a standard to protect the routing optimization mode introduced by MIPv6. This protocol uses the public key cryptography and the early binding update method to improve the Return Routeability protocol while optimizing both security and performance. On the other hand, though various security approaches including the ERO protocol have been proposed for MIPv6, they lack formal verification. Especially, to our best knowledge, there is no formal analysis on the ERO protocol. In order to provide a good example for formal analysis on MIPv6 security protocols, this paper verifies the correctness of the ERO protocol through BAN-logic. For this goal, BAN-logic is extended to consider the address tests on the mobile nodes's CoA and HoA. It is expected that the analysis presented in this paper will be useful for the formal verifications on the security protocols related to MIPv6.

In dense deployments of sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks, the MAC protocol has challenges to solve problems such as reducing delivery delay and reducing energy consumption. To solve these problems lots of protocols are suggested. This paper proposed a sensor nodes' residual energy based wake-up control mechanism, in which each node decides whether it wakes up or stays in sleep mode to save energy consumption by reducing unnecessary idle listening. The main idea of the wake-up control mechanism is to save node's energy consumption. The proposed wake-up control mechanism is based on the RI-MAC protocol, which is one of the receiver-initiated MAC protocols. A receiver node in the proposed mechanism periodically wakes up and broadcasts a beacon signal based on the energy status of the node. A receiver node also adjusts wake-up period based on the traffics. Results have shown that the proposed MAC protocol outperformed RI-MAC protocol in the terms of energy consumption.

In this paper, we are proposing an optimal design of wideband pulsed type gamma-ray sensors. These sensors were manufactured based on the design results and after word electrical properties were analyzed. The sensor input parameters were derived on the basis of pulsed gamma-ray spectrum and time-dependent energy rate, and the output current which were derived on the basis of the sensor sensitivity control circuit. Pulsed gamma-ray sensors were designed using the TCAD simulators. The design results show that the optimal Epi layer thickness is 45um with the applied voltage 3.3V and the diameter is 2.0mm. The doping concentrations are as follows : N-type is an Arsenic as $1{\times}10^{19}/cm^3$, P-type is a Boron as $1{\times}10^{19}/cm^3$ and Epi layer is Phosphorus as $3.4{\times}10^{12}/cm^3$. The fabricated sensor was a leakage current, 12pA at voltage -3.3V and fully depleted mode at voltage -5V. A test result of pulsed radiation shows that the sensor gives out the optimal photocurrent.
