본 논문은 24 채널 정전 용량형 터치 검출 ASIC에 대한 것이다. 제안된 회로는 아날로그 회로부와 디지털 회로부로 구성되어 있다. 아날로그 회로부는 사용자의 접촉을 전기적인 신호로 변환시키며 디지털 회로부는 전기적인 신호의 변화를 디지털 데이터로 변환시키는 역할을 담당한다. 디지털 회로는 I2C가 내장되어 시스템 동작 계수들을 호스트 프로세서에서 변경해 줄 수 있도록 설계되었다. 따라서 온도 변화 등 외부환경 변화에도 안정적으로 동작할 수 있다. 본 ASIC은 0.18um CMOS 공정으로 구현되었으며 그 크기는 약 3 $mm^2$ 이고 소비전력은 5.3 mW이다. 설계에는 Cadence사와 Synopsys사의 상용 개발환경이 사용되었다.

At the end of last year, Korean nuclear power plants, APR-1400 and a research reactor have been contracted to build plants at United Arab Emirates and Jordan. Since 1959, a historical background of nuclear technologies in Korea is summarized. The safety requirements for Instrumentation and Control (I&C) systems in Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) are discussed. Specific descriptions on the typical safety classification of I&C systems, the definitions of the electrical class 1E and the countermeasures against common caused failures are provided. And summaries of typical I&C systems such as the protection systems, the control systems, the instrumentations, the monitoring systems and a control room in NPP are introduced. Strict requirements on the development of the digital computer systems in nuclear applications are described.

An integrated I&C architecture for nuclear power plants is designed by the systems and devices being developed in a project. Its design reference is the APR1400 that was design certified in Korea. Digital equipment and several kinds of data communication networks (DCN) are used. To confirm the validity of DCN based architecture design, the traffic loads fur each network were calculated assuming the anticipated maximum traffic condition. The analysis showed that the utilizations of all networks satisfied the design requirements.

The grating projection method with phase-shifting technique is very useful in measuring the 3-dimensional (3D) shape with high accuracy and speed. In this work, we have developed an ultra high-speed digital laser grating projection system using a high-power laser diode and a highsensitivity CMOS camera. With our system, the optical measurement required to find out the profile of a 3D object could be carried out within 2.6 ms, which is a significant ($\sim$10 times) improvement compared with those of the previous studies.

As software based digital I&C (Instrumentation and Control) systems are used more prevalently in nuclear plants, enhancement of software dependability has become an important issue in the area of nuclear I&C systems. Critical attributes of software dependability are safety and reliability. These attributes are tightly related to software failures caused by faults. Software testing and V&V (Verification and Validation) activities are hence important for enhancing software dependability. If the risky modules of safety-critical software can be predicted, it will be possible to focus on testing and V&V activities more efficiently and effectively. It should also make it possible to better allocate resources for regulation activities. We propose a prediction technique to estimate risky software modules by adopting machine learning models based on software complexity metrics. An empirical study with various machine learning algorithms was executed for comparing the prediction performance. Experimental results show SVMs (Support Vector Machines) perform as well or better than the other methods.

Epilepsy or the occurrence of spontaneous recurrent epileptiform discharges (SREDs, seizures) is one of the most common neurological disorders. Shift in the balance of brain between excitatory and inhibitory functions due to different types of structural or functional alterations may cause epileptiform discharges. N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor dysfunctions have been implicated in modulating seizure activities. Seizures and epilepsy are clearly dependent on elevated intracellular calcium concentration ([C $a^{2+}$]$_{i}$ ) by NMDA receptor activation and can be prevented by NMDA antagonists. This perturbed [C $a^{2+}$]$_{i}$ levels is forerunner of neuronal death. However, therapeutic tools of elevated [C $a^{2+}$]$_{i}$ level during status epilepticus (SE) and SREDs have not been discovered yet. Our previous study showed fast inhibition of ginseng total saponins and ginsenoside R $g_3$ on NMDA receptor-mediated [C $a^{2+}$]$_{i}$ in cultured hippocampal neurons. We, therefore, examined the direct modulation of ginseng on hippocampal neuronal culture model of epilepsy using fura-2-based digital $Ca^{2+}$ imaging and neuronal viability assays. We found that ginseng total saponins and ginsenoside R $g_3$ inhibited $Mg^{2+}$ free-induced increase of [C $a^{2+}$]$_{i}$ and spontaneous [C $a^{2+}$]$_{i}$ oscillations in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. These results suggest that ginseng may playa neuroprotective role in perturbed homeostasis of [C $a^{2+}$]$_{i}$ and neuronal cell death via the inhibition of NMDA receptor-induced SE or SREDs.d SE or SREDs..

LED 매트릭스를 사용하는 차량용 헤드램프에서 LED의 디지털 제어는 I2C, SPI 등의 저가격 저속 직렬 버스를 사용하여 왔으나 헤드램프의 해상도가 증가하면서 LED 제어를 위해 전송해야 하는 데이터의 양이 너무 많아 제어 버스의 전송 능력을 초과하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 차량용 LED 매트릭스 헤드램프 제어 프로토콜인 HLCP(Headlamp LED Control Protocol)을 제안한다. 제안하는 프로토콜은 많은 LED를 하나의 명령어로 제어하는 명령어를 사용하여 I2C 버스를 거의 그대로 사용하면서도 훨씬 많은 LED를 제어할 수 있다. 제안하는 프로토콜을 수행하는 컨트롤러를 Verilog HDL로 구현 및 검증하였으며 시뮬레이션 결과 LED 매트릭스 헤드램프를 I2C나 SPI보다 효율적으로 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Zanthoxylum piperitum D.C. (ZP) peels has been used as a natural spice and herb medicine for hypertension reduction, for strokes, and for its anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant activity. However, the anti-inflammatory mechanisms employed by ZP have yet to be completely understood. In this study, we elucidate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of ZP in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. We evaluated the effects of ZP in LPS-induced levels of inflammatory cytokines, prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂), and caspase-1 using ELISA. The expression levels of inflammatory-related genes, including cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), were assayed by Western blot analysis. We elucidated the effect of ZP on nuclear factor (NF)-κB activation by means of a luciferase activity assay. The findings of this study demonstrated that ZP inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokine and PGE₂ and inhibited the increased levels of COX-2 and iNOS caused by LPS. Additionally, we showed that the anti-inflammatory effect of ZP arises by suppressing the activation of NF-κB and caspase-1 in LPS- induced RAW264.7 cells. These results provide novel insights into the pharmacological actions of ZP as a potential candidate for development of new drugs to treat inflammatory diseases.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-4 스트림의 디지털 저작권 관리(DRM)를 위한 암호화 방법을 제안한다. MPEG-4는 멀티미디어 스트리밍을 위한 표준이며 MPEG-4 파일 포맷에 따라 저장된다. 인가된 사용자들만 접근이 가능하도록 MPEG-4 파일 포맷으로부터 추출된 I-VOP, P-VOP의 매크로 블록(MB)들과 모션 벡터(MV)들을 암호화하는 3가지 방법을 설계하였고, MPEG-4 데이터의 암호화에는 DES(Data Encryption Standard)를 사용하였다. 이러할 암호화 방법을 기반으로 MPEG-4 데이터 스트리밍을 위한 인터넷 방송 서비스용 DRM 솔루션을 구현하고, 최적의 암호화 방법을 선택하기 위해 복호화 속도 및 영상의 품질을 비교하였다.
