The update transactions to be executed in spatial databases usually have been known as interactive and long duration works. To improve the parallelism of concurrent updates, it needs multiple transactions concurrently update a large spatial object which has a spatial extensions larger than workspace of a client. However, under the existing locking protocols, it is not possible to concurrently update a large spatial object because of conflict of a write lock This paper proposes a partial locking scheme of enabling a transaction to set locks on parts of a big object. The partial locking scheme which is an exclusive locking scheme set by user, acquires locks for a part of the big object to restrict the unit of concurrency control to a partial object of a big object. The scheme gives benefits of improving the concurrency of un updating job for a large object because it makes the lock control granularity finer.

우리는 기본 진공 $10^{-11}\;Torr$의 UHV surface magneto-optical Kerr effect (SMOKE) 시스템을 quarter-wave plate를 사용하였던 기존의 방식에서 PEM (photo elastic modulator)를 사용하는 방식으로 장비의 기능을 향상시켰다. 기존 quarter-wave plate를 사용하는 방식의 경우 Kerr signal을 구하기 위해 편광자와 검광자를 수직으로 두어 광량을 0으로 만들어야 한다. 그러나 금속의 경우 대부분 가시광선 영역에서 큰 반사율 때문에 측정되는 광량이 편광자와 검광자를 거치면서 넓은 각도 범위에서 최소값을 갖기 때문에 정확한 영점을 잡는 데 한계가 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위하여 우리는 PEM을 이용한 위상변조방식을 사용하였다. 위상변조 방식은 Kerr signal과 관계된 양을 PEM을 이용하여 50 kH ($1{\omega}$)와 100 kH ($2{\omega}$)의 진동 주파수에 공조시키고 이를 Lock-in-amplifier를 사용하여 탐지하기 때문에 좋은 sensitivity를 얻을 수 있을 뿐 아니라 Kerr ellipticity와 Kerr rotation을 동시에 측정할 수 있다. 자화에 필요한 전자석은 순철로 된 코어를 제작하여 챔버에 부착하였고 10 A에서 최대 7 kOe의 고자장을 얻을 수 있어 포화자화가 큰 물질에 대해서도 필요한 자성영역까지 측정이 가능하게 하였다. 또 저온 측정을 위해 SMOKE 샘플 홀더를 개조하여 액체 질소를 이용하여 100 K 근방의 영역에서 온도를 제어할 수 있도록 저온 장치를 구성하였다. 여기에서 샘플 근처에 위차한 e-beam heater가 장착된 고온 부분과 액체 질소 냉각, 온도감지를 위한 센서, cartridge heater가 장착된 저온 부분을 sapphire plate로 분리하여 저온용 cartridge heater의 파손을 최소화하였다. 이러한 SMOKE 시스템을 구성한 후에 우리는 Fe/Cr(001)시스템의 자성특성에 대해 연구하였다. Fe/Cr 시스템은 Fe/Cr/Fe의 exchange coupling이나 bulk Cr의 복잡한 자성 특성 때문에 주목을 받아왔다. 이 연구에서 우리는 저온 및 상온에서 Cr(001) 단결정 위에 증착된 Fe 박막의 자성 특성을 보고한다.

In this paper, we propose a full digital frequency and phase locked loop for CATV and HDTV receivers adopting VSB modulation. The CATV and HDTV receivers proposed by the Grand-Alliance in USA are ultilizing analog signal processing technology for carrier recovery. By the way, it is not a good architecture for the development of single chip ASIC operating in digital domain. To solve this problem while improving the performance, we first down convert the received r.f. signal to a near baseband signal for a low-rate AD converter and then we use digital signal processing techniques. The proposed system has the frequency pull-in range of -200 KHz +2.50 KHz. Moreover, it has the ability of adaptive loop bandwidth control according to the amount of frequency offset to improve the acquisition time while reducing the phase noise.

This paper reviewed outline of Strategic Niche Management(SNM) and its usefulness and limits as policy tool. SNM is based on Multi Level Perspective(MLP) that traces technological innovation and makes transition of lock-in socio-technical system. This approach is one of systematical then traditional one, market failure approach. SNM had get a attention not only as a analytical frame of technological development, but also tool of radical innovation, although its limits of theoretical and empirical immaturity. SNM could provide a new perspective to analysis and action within urgent needs of alternative innovation policy for aging society, news energy policy for sustainable and disaster policy in danger society.

The Galileo system, a global navigation satellite system(GNSS) developed by E.U., uses the direct sequence/spread spectrum(DS/SS) modulation. A DS/SS-based system performs a fine synchronization between the received and locally generated spreading signals, via attacking process. In the absence of multipath signals, using the symmetric characteristic of the correlation function, the delay lock loop with the early minus late discriminator(EL-DLL) offers the best performance in tracking. However, in the presence of multipath signals, the symmetry of the correlation function could be lost, causing a tracking bias. In this paper, we observe that the correlation values in the advanced offset range remain almost unchanged, due to the multipath signals being received later than a line-of-sight signal. Based on this observation, we propose a novel tracking scheme for a Galileo BOC(1,1) system.

The global navigation satellite system (GNSS), which is the core technique for the location based service, adopts the direct sequence/spread spectrum (DS/SS) as its modulation method. The success of a DS/SS system depends on the synchronization between the received and locally generated pseudo noise (PN) signals. As a step in the synchronization process, the tacking scheme performs fine adjustment to bring the phase difference between the two PN signals to zero. The most widely used tracking scheme is the delay locked loop with early minus late discriminator (EL-DLL). In the ideal case, the EL-DLL is the best estimator among various DLL. However, in the band-limited multipath environment, the EL-DLL has tracking bias. In this paper, the timing offset range of correlation function is divided into advanced offset range (AOR) and delayed offset range (DOR) centering around the correct synchronization time point. The tracking bias results from the following two reasons: symmetry distortion between correlation values in AOR and DOR, and mismatch between the time point corresponding to the maximum correlation value and the synchronization time point. The former and latter are named as the type I and type II tracking bias, respectively. In this paper, when the receiver has finite bandwidth in the presence of multipath signals, it is shown that the type II tracking bias becomes a more dominant error factor than the type I tracking bias, and the correlation values in AOR are not almost changed. Exploiting these characteristics, we propose a novel tracking bias mitigation scheme and demonstrate that the tracking accuracy of the proposed scheme is higher than that of the conventional scheme, both in the presence and absence of noise.

The purpose of this study was to examine the sensory processing of adults with intellectual disabilities by Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile(AASP). AASP was executed for 98 adults with intellectual disabilities residing in nursing home. The score of sensory processing ability expressed the conditions of being 'Less Than Most People' and 'Much Less Than Most People' in the all sensory processing areas of Low Registration, Sensory Sensitivity, Sensory Seeking, Sensory Avoiding. There was not significant difference in the sex. The score of sensory processing ability between teenagers(11 years to 17 years) and adult(above 18 years), teenagers statistically showed lower scores in the three sensory processing areas of Low Registration, Sensory Seeking, and Sensory Sensitivity. In addition, there was significant difference in the sensory processing areas of Low Registration and Sensory Avoiding according to the disability grading. In the future research, it is suggested to examine the sensory processing within residual setting and it need a study comparing sensory processing skills according to the disability grading by increasing subjects.

A damper clutch in automatic transmission systems has some advantages of fuel economy and dynamic performance. Although a damper clutch operation improves a fuel economy of the vehicles, a positive operation of a damper clutch in a low vehicle speed induces abnormal vibration. This paper analyzed one of reasons for abnormal vibration by a damper clutch operation in low engine speed ranges. A simulation model was designed to confirm the effects of a damper clutch operation under unstable regions of an engine. A theoretical analysis was carried out about an engine operation stability. Simulation was conducted to depict abnormal vibration by a damper clutch operation in unstable regions of an engine performance curve. The effects of an engine operation region for abnormal vibration by a damper clutch was investigated according to the range and the slope of unstable regions. As a result of simulations, a damper clutch operation would be better to avoid an engine unstable regions.

Corruption occurs in the process of processing image signal and the corruption changes the pixel value within the image to damage the original information. AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) is a representative example. For filters to remove AWGN, there are filters such as MF(mean filter), WF(wiener filter), and AWMF(adaptive weighted mean filter). However images processed through standard previous filters lock preservation characteristics in edge areas. Therefore, threshold value is applied for processing on the standard deviation of the local mask in this study and if the standard deviation is smaller than the threshold value, it is not filtered and if the value is bigger than the threshold value, the study suggested an algorithm that processes using weighted value utilizing standard deviation.

This paper reports a fractional-N phase-locked-loop(PLL) frequency synthesizer that is implemented in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process and generates a quadrature signal for an FRS terminal. The synthesizer consists of a voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO), a charge pump(CP), loop filter(LF), a phase frequency detector(PFD), and a frequency divider. The VCO has been designed with an LC resonant circuit to provide better phase noise and power characteristics, and the CP is designed to be able to adjust the pumping current according to the PFD output. The frequency divider has been designed by a 16-divider pre-scaler and fractional-N divider based on the third delta-sigma modulator($3^{rd}$ DSM). The LF is a third-order RC filter. The measured results show that the proposed device has a dynamic frequency range of 460~510 MHz and -3.86 dBm radio-frequency output power. The phase noise of the output signal is -94.8 dBc/Hz, and the lock-in time is $300{\mu}s$.
