Phthalate plasticizers are regulated by RoHS, REACH and CPSC as hazardous substances. Responding to these international environmental restrictions, we developed ABS certified reference material (CRM) for determination of phthalate plasticizers such as DMP, DEP, DBP, BBP, DEHP and DnOP. The candidate material has been made with ABS resin widely used in electric and electronic products and 6 kinds of phthalate plasticizers. The making of the material involved a series of processes like extruding, cooling, pelletizing, and drying using twin screw extruder. Then it has been certified according to ISO Guide 35. Using isotope dilution-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (ID-GC/MS), homogeneity, short-term stability, and long-term stability were evaluated. The certified values were determined by using primary reference material (PRM) of KRISS for traceability. From now on, we will provide ABS CRM to national and international companies and research institutes after certification as certified reference material and registering on COMAR (code of reference material).

For the accomplishment of satellite's own missions, complicated control procedures and commands are required. Although absolute-Time Command and Command Sequences have been applied for controlling satellite and its operation historically, these command system only has a capability to manage sequential control process and has a limitation that cannot deal with decision and branch for corresponding to the condition of the time. To resolve above limitation, KARI has designed RTCSC which is mainly based on the existing RTCS but adopts a one-byte Op Code for supporting decision making and conditional branch. This paper introduces the design and implementation of RTCSC as On-Board Control System like OBCP, VML and IP.

This paper presents a variable gain amplifier (VGA) for an analog front-end (AFE) of ultrasound medical imaging. This VGA has a closed-loop topology and shows a 37-dB-linear characteristic with a single-stage amplifier. It consists of an op-amp, a non-binary-weighted capacitor array, and a gain-control block. This non-binary-weighted capacitor array reduces the required number of capacitors and the complexity of the gain-control block. The VGA has been fabricated in a 0.35-mm CMOS process. This work gives the largest gain range of 37 dB per stage, the largest P1 dB of 9.5 dBm at the 3.3-V among the recent VGA circuits available in the literature. The voltage gain is controlled in the range of [-10, 27] dB in a linear-in-dB scale with 16 steps by a 4-bit digital code. The VGA has a bandpass characteristic with a passband of [20 kHz, 8 MHz].

최근 Wireless Local Area Network(WLAN), Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access(WCDMA), CDMA2000, Bluetooth 등 다양한 모바일 통신 시스템에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이와 같은 모바일 통신 시스템에는 70dB이상의 SFDR(Spurious Free Dynamic Range)을 가진 ADC(Analog-to-Digital Converter)가 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 통신 시스템을 위한 SFDR 70dBc의 성능을 제공하는 10비트, 100Msps 파이프라인 ADC를 제안한다. 제안한 ADC는 요구되는 해상도 및 속도 사양을 만족시키기 위해 3단 파이프라인 구조를 채택하였으며, 입력단 SHA(Sample and Hold)회로에는 Nyquist 입력에서도 10비트 이상의 정확도로 신호를 샘플링하기 위해 부트스트래핑 기법 기반의 샘플링 스위치를 적용하였다. residue amplifier 회로에는 전력을 줄이기 위해 8배 residue amplifier 대신 3개의 2배 ressidue amplifier를 사용하였다.

최근 클라우드 컴퓨팅 인프라 및 소프트웨어의 지속적인 발전으로 인한 복잡성 증가로 인해 신속한 확장성과 유연성에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이에 클라우드 네이티브 환경과의 호환성뿐만 아니라 개발과 운영의 효율성을 높이고자 코드로 인프라를 정의하여 자동화된 환경을 구축해 주는 코드형 인프라(Infrastructure as Code, IaC) 기술이 주목받고 있으며, AWS CloudFormation 은 대표적인 솔루션 중 하나이다. 그러나 IaC 형태로 배포되는 템플릿에 취약성이 존재할 경우, 인스턴스가 실행되기 전까지 보안 취약점을 미리 발견하기 어려워 DevOps 사이클에서의 보안 이슈를 야기할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 CloudFormation 템플릿의 보안 취약성 스캔이 가능하다고 알려진 오픈 소스 도구의 효율성을 평가하기 위한 사례 연구를 수행한다. 분석 결과를 바탕으로, DevSecOps 달성을 위한 IaC 기반 환경에서 취약성 사전 탐지의 필요성과 세분화된 접근 방식을 제시하고자 한다.

In this Paper, we designed an LSP(Line Spectral Pairs) parameter quantizer with cascaded structure of vector quantizer and scalar quantizer for the wideband speech coder. We have chosen the 16th-order of the LP coefficients. These coefficients are then transformed into the LSP parameters which have the excellent properties for quantization and easy stability checking condition of synthesis filter. In the first stage of quantization, input LSP parameters are split-vector-quantized using two 8-th order codebooks. In the second stage, the components of residual vector are individually quantized by the scalar quantizer utilizing the ordering property of LSP parameters. The designed adaptive VQ-SQ quantizer using 35 bits/frame shows the wideband transparency that the average spectral distortion should be less than 1.6 ㏈ and less than 4% of the frames should have SD above 3 ㏈. The simulation results show that the designed quantizer provides a 2-3 bits/frame saving over the typical vector-scalar quantizer.

In this paper, a CCSDS(Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) telecommand(TC) decryptor for the security of geostationary communications satellite was implemented. For the confidentiality of CCSDS TC datalink security, Option-A which implements the security services below the transfer sublayer was selected. Also CFB(Cipher Feedback) operation mode of DES(Data Encryption Standard) was used for the encryption of 56-bit data bits in 64-bit codeblock. To verify Decryptor function, the DES CFB logic implemented on A54SX32 FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) was integrated with interface and control logics in a PCB(Printed Circuit Board). Using a function test PC, the encrypted codeblocks were generated, transferred into the decryptor, decrypted, and the decrypted codeblocks were transmitted to the function test PC, and then compared with the source codeblocks. Through LED(Light Emitting Diode) ON operation by driving the relay related to Op-code decoded and the comparison between the codeblock output waveforms measured and those simulated, the telecommand decryptor function was verified.

Malware detection is an increasingly important operational focus in cyber security, particularly given the fast pace of such threats (e.g., new malware variants introduced every day). There has been great interest in exploring the use of machine learning techniques in automating and enhancing the effectiveness of malware detection and analysis. In this paper, we present a deep recurrent neural network solution as a stacked Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) with a pre-training as a regularization method to avoid random network initialization. In our proposal, we use global and short dependencies of the inputs. With pre-training, we avoid random initialization and are able to improve the accuracy and robustness of malware threat hunting. The proposed method speeds up the convergence (in comparison to stacked LSTM) by reducing the length of malware OpCode or bytecode sequences. Hence, the complexity of our final method is reduced. This leads to better accuracy, higher Mattews Correlation Coefficients (MCC), and Area Under the Curve (AUC) in comparison to a standard LSTM with similar detection time. Our proposed method can be applied in real-time malware threat hunting, particularly for safety critical systems such as eHealth or Internet of Military of Things where poor convergence of the model could lead to catastrophic consequences. We evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method on Windows, Ransomware, Internet of Things (IoT), and Android malware datasets using both static and dynamic analysis. For the IoT malware detection, we also present a comparative summary of the performance on an IoT-specific dataset of our proposed method and the standard stacked LSTM method. More specifically, of our proposed method achieves an accuracy of 99.1% in detecting IoT malware samples, with AUC of 0.985, and MCC of 0.95; thus, outperforming standard LSTM based methods in these key metrics.
