The addressing mode for data is performed by the software in yon Neumann-concept(SISD) computer a priori without hardware design of an address counter for operands. Therefore, in the addressing mode for the vector the corresponding variables as much as the number of the elements should be specified and used also in the software method. This is because not for operand but only for an instructions, quasi PC(program counter) is designed in hardware physically. A vector has a characteristic of a structural dimension. In this paper we propose to design a hardware unit physically external to the CPU for addressing only the elements of a vector unit with the structure and dimension. Because of the high speed performance for a vector processing it should be designed in the SIMD pipeline mechanics. The proposed mechanics is evaluated through a simulation. Our result shows $12\%$ to $30\%$ performance enhancement over CRAY architecture under the same hardware consideration(processing unit).

This work describes an 8b 200MHz time-interleaved subranging analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on a single-poly digital CMOS process. Two fine ADCs for lower digital bits of the proposed ADC employ a time-sharing double-channel architecture to increase system speed and a new reference voltage switching scheme to reduce settling time of the reference voltages and chip area. The proposed intermeshed resistor string, which generates reference voltages for fine ADCs, improves linearity and settling time of the reference voltages simultaneously. The proposed sample- and-hold amplifier(SHA) is based on a highly linear common-drain amplifier and passive differential circuits to minimize power consumption and chip area with 8b accuracy and employs input dynamic common mode feedback circuits for high dynamic performance at a 200MHz sampling rate. A new encoding circuit in a coarse ADC simplifies the signal processing between the coarse ADC and two successive fine ADCs.

The objective of this work presented here was experimental study of steadystate and cold start exhaust nano-sized particle characteristics from common rail diesel engine. The effect of the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) on the particle number reduction was insignificant, however, particle number concentration levels were reduced by 3 orders of magnitude into the downstream of diesel particulate filter (DPF). In high speed and load conditions, natural regeneration of trapped particle occurred inside DPF and it was referable to increase particle number concentration. As fuel injection timing was shifted BTDC $6^{\circ}CA$ to ATDC $4^{\circ}CA$, particle number concentration level was slightly reduced, however particle number and size was increased at ATDC $9^{\circ}CA$. Nucleation type particle reduced and accumulation type particle was increased on EGR condition.

It is necessary to use prestressed modal analysis to calculate the modal frequencies and mode shapes of a prestressed structure such as a spinning blade, a preloaded structure, or a thermally deformed pipe, because the prestress effect sometimes causes significant changes in the frequencies and mode shapes. When the finite element model under consideration has a very large number of degrees of freedom, repeated prestressed modal analyses for investigating the prestress effects might become too computationally expensive to finish within a reasonable design-process time. To alleviate these computational difficulties, a Krylov subspace-based model order reduction, which reduces the number of degrees of freedom of the original finite element model and speeds up the necessary prestressed modal analysis with the reduced order models (ROMs), is presented. The numerical process for the moment-matching model reduction is performed directly on the full order models (FOMs) (modeled in ANSYS) by the Arnoldi process. To demonstrate the advantages of this approach for performing prestressed modal analysis, the prestressed wheel and the compressor impeller under their high-speed rotation are considered as examples.

This paper is concerned with optimum design of a center-pillar assembly induced by the high-speed side impact of the vehicle. In order to simulate deformation behavior of the center-pillar assembly, simplified finite element model of the center-pillar and a moving deformable barrier are developed based on results of the crash analysis of a full vehicle model. In optimization of the deformation shape of the center-pillar, S-shaped deformation is targeted to guarantee reduction of the injury level of a driver dummy in the crash test. Tailor-welded blanks are adopted in the simplified center-pillar model to control the deformation shape of the center-pillar assembly. The thickness of each part which constitutes the simplified model is selected as a design parameter. The thickness of parts which have significant effect on the deformation mechanism are selected as design parameters with sensitivity analysis based on the design of experiment technique. The objective function is constructed so as to minimize the weight and lead to an S-mode deformation shape. The result shows that the simplified model can be utilized effectively for optimum design of the center-pillar members with remarkable saving of computing time.

The recent, a large capacity of telecommunication networks is required in order to it is in proportion to capacity of information communication increase and to satisfy a demand because of the demand about Internet, a multimedia service of internet, Video of internet protocol(VoIP), Audio/Video streaming. As a result, DWDM(Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing)technologies are emerging to be a prevailing the method of solving it without additional optical fiber network building and high-speed equipment. Therefore this thesis proposed the optical filter of fiber/multilayer slab coupled structure combining it to multilayer slab waveguide by polishing the cladding of one side of fiber to design the optical filter having these functions. When a separation distance of fiber and slab was $3{\mu}m$, The optical filter proposed as the simulation result was satisfied with a DWDM filter characteristic with FWHM of 0.1nm on TM mode and TE mode as 32nm polarization independence in a communication window of $1.3{\mu}m$ when center wavelength was each ${\lambda}_0=1.274755{\mu}m$ and ${\lambda}_0=1.30591{\mu}m$.

Natural gas is one of the most promising alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuels because of its lower harmful emissions, including $CO_2$, and high thermal efficiency. In particular, natural gas is seen as an alternative fuel for heavy-duty Diesel Engines because of the lower resulting emissions of PM, $CO_2$ and $NO_x$. Almost all CNG vehicles use the PFI-type Engine. However, PFI-type CNG Engines have a lower brake horse power, because of reduced volumetric efficiency and lower burning speed. This is a result of gaseous charge and the time losses increase as compared with the DI-type. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of injection conditions (early injection mode, late injection mode) on the combustion phenomena and performances in the or CNG Engine. A DI Diesel Engine with the same specifications used in a previous study was modified to a DI CNG Engine, and injection pressure was constantly kept at 60bar by a two-stage pressure-reducing type regulator. In this study, excess air ratios were varied from 1.0 to the lean limit, at the load conditions 50% throttle open rate and 1700rpm. The combustion characteristics of the or CNG Engine - such as in-cylinder pressure, indicated thermal efficiency, cycle-by-cycle variation, combustion duration and emissions - were investigated. Through this method, it was possible to verify that the combustion duration, the lean limit and the emissions were improved by control of injection timing and the stratified mixture conditions. And combustion duration is affected by not only excess air ratio, injection timing and position of piston but gas flow condition.

This paper proposes a digitally controlled buck converter insensitive to process, voltage and temperature and capable of three modes of operation depending on the state of the output voltage. Conventional digital-controlled buck converters utilized A/D converters, counters and delay line circuits for accurate output voltage control, resulting in increasing the number of counter and delay line bits. This problem can be resolved by employing the 8-bit and 16-bit bidirectional shift registers, and this design technique leads a buck converter to be able to control duty ratio up to 128-bit resolution. The proposed buck converter was designed and fabricated with a CMOS 180 nano-meter 1-poly 6-metal process, generating an output voltage of 0.9 to 1.8V with the input voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V, a ripple voltage of 30mV, and a power efficiency of up to 92.3%. The transient response speed of the proposed circuit was measured to be 4us.

This paper presents an analytical approach to calculate the buckling load of the cylindrical ring structures subjected to both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures. Based on the conservative law of energy and Timoshenko beam theory, a theoretical formula, which can be used to evaluate the critical pressure of buckling, is first derived for the simplified cylindrical ring structures. It is assumed that the hydrodynamic pressure can be treated as an equivalent hydrostatic pressure as a cosine function along the perimeter while the thickness ratio is limited to 0.2. Note that this paper limits the deformed shape of the cylindrical ring structures to an elliptical shape. The proposed analytical solutions are then compared with the numerical simulations. The critical pressure is evaluated in this study considering two possible failure modes: ultimate failure and buckling failure. The results show that the proposed analytical solutions can correctly predict the critical pressure for both failure modes. However, it is not recommended to be used when the hydrostatic pressure is low or medium (less than 80% of the critical pressure) as the analytical solutions underestimate the critical pressure especially when the ultimate failure mode occurs. This implies that the proposed solutions can still be used properly when the subsea vehicles are located in the deep parts of the ocean where the hydrostatic pressure is high. The finding will further help improve the geometric design of subsea vehicles against both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures to enhance its strength and stability when it moves underwater. It will also help to control the speed of the subsea vehicles especially they move close to the sea bottom to prevent a catastrophic failure.

Lasers for optical broadband communication systems should have excellent frequency selectivity and modal stability. DFB(Distributed Feedback) lasers have low lasing frequency shift during high speed current modulation. In this paper, I have developed a simulation software and analysed threshold gain and lasing frequency of a lasing mode in longitudinal direction of an 1.55um DFB laser with two mirrors and without anti-reflection coatings, that have both an index- and gain-gratings. The grating phase on a left mirror face is fixed as π/2 and the grating phase on a right mirror face is varied. As the phases of the index and gain gratings on the right mirror facet are π and 0, κL should be in the range of 2~6 in order to enhance the frequency stability. In order to reduce the threshold current of a lasing mode, κL should be greater than 8, regardless of the grating phases on the mirror faces.
