An energy-efficient 64-bit prefix adder is proposed for micro-server processors based on both semidynamic and bypassing structures. Prefix adders consist of three main stages i.e. propagate-generate (PG) stage, carry merge (CM) tree, and sum generators. In this architecture, the PG and CM stages consume most of the power because these are based on domino circuits. This letter proposes a semidynamic PG stage for its energy-efficiency. In addition, we adopt the bypassing structure on the CM tree to reduce its switching activity. Experimental results show 19.1% improvement of energy efficiency from prior art.

The synthetic focusing in the ultrasonic imaging systems has been formed in the way that one element transmits a circular wave and receives an echo signal. The amplitude of the signal transmitted from one element is too small to propagate a long distance so that the SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) is very low in an image obtained by the synthetic focusing. To solve this problem, a defocusing method which uses several elements has been proposed. In this method, the SNR is improved due to using several elements to transmit the circular wave. But if the number of transmitting elements increases, the phase distortion is severe in the defocusing method. In this paper, we propose a new method that can generate a circular wave using a lot of elements without phase distortion. At first, we generate limited plane waves with different propagation angles and then superpose them to make a circular wave. We show that the circular wave can be used to improve SNR in the real-time 3D ultrasonic imaging as well as the synthetic focusing through computer simulation and experiments.

We have designed and measured an SFQ(Single Flux Quantum) OR gate for a superconducting ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit). To optimize the circuit, we used WRspice, XIC and Lmeter for simulations and layouts. The OR gate was consisted of a Confluence Buffer and a D Flip-Flop. When a pulse enters into the OR gate, the pulse does not propagate to the other input port because of the Confluence Buffer. A role of D Flip-Flip is expelling the data when the clock is entered into D Flip-Flop. For the measurement of the OR gate operation, we attached three DC/SFQs, three SFQ/DCs and one RS Flip -Flop to the OR gate. DC/SFQ circuits were used to generate the data pulses and clock pulses. Input frequency of 10kHz and 1MHzwere used to generate the SFQ pulses from DC/SFQ circuits. Output data from OR gate moved to RS flip -Flop to display the output on the oscilloscope. We obtained bias margins of the D Flip -Flop and the Confluence Buffer from the measurements. The measured bias margins $\pm$38.6% and $\pm$23.2% for D Flip-Flop and Confluence Buffer, respectively The circuit was measured at the liquid helium temperature.

The problem of scalar wave scattering by a sphere on or near a planar substrate is analytically solved. The solution is a set of wave functions coming in the form of infinite series of spherical and plane waves. In air, the incident plane wave is either scattered by the sphere or reflected from the substrate. A part of these scattered or reflected waves propagate to the other object where it is reflected and scattered again. Such processes of scattering and reflection repeat in turn indefinitely to generate multiply scattered waves, which are represented in the corresponding terms in the infinite series. The term in the series can be arranged in a recognizable manner to explicitly reveal the involved process and the multiplicity of scattering.

This paper presents considerations on the results of the rotating arm test, which was carried out for assessment of an hybrid navigation system for a semi-autonomous underwater vehicle. The navigation system consists of an inertial measurement unit(IMU), an ultra-short baseline(USBL) acoustic navigation sensor and a doppler velocity log(DVL) accompanying a magnetic compass. A navigational systemmodel is derived to include the scale effect and bias errors of the DVL, of which the state equation composed of the navigation states and sensor parameters are 25 in the order. The extended Kalman filter was used to propagate the error covariance, The rotating arm tests were carried out in the Ocean Engineering Basin of KRISO, to generate circular motion. The hybrid underwater navigation system shows good tracking performance against the circular planar motion. Additionally this paper checked the effects of the sampling ratio of the navigation system and the possibility of the dead reckoning with the DVL and the magnetic compass to estimate the position of the vehicle.

Love wave is one of the shear horizontal waves and it can propagate between two layers in liquid without energy loss. The SAW (surface acoustic wave) sensor using Love wave is very useful for real time measurement of the viscosity of liquid with high sensitivity. In this study, the 77 MHz and 155 MHz Love wave SAW sensors were fabricated and use to measure the viscosity of low viscous liquid. To generate the surface acoustic wave, the inter-digital transducers were fabricated on the quartz crystal wafer. In order to obtain the optimal thickness of the coating film (novolac photoresist) generating the Love wave on the surface of SAW device, theoretical calculation was performed. The performances of fabricated Love wave SAW sensors were tested. As test liquid, pure water and glycerol solutions having different concentrations were used. Since the determination coefficients of the regression equations for measuring the viscosity of liquid are greater than 0.98, the developed Love wave SAW sensors in this study will be very useful for precise measurement of viscosity of liquid.

High-speed railway trains entering and leaving tunnels generate finite amplitude pressure wave which propagate back and forth along the tunnels, reflecting at the open ends of the tunnels and at other discontinuities such as ventilation shafts and the train themselves. In present day railways, the magnitudes of the pressure waves are much too small to cause structual damage, but they are a serious potential source of aural discomport for passengers on unsealed trains. Almost always do the pressure waves propagating along the tunnels lead to a hazardous impulse noise near the exit portal of the tunnel. In order to alleviate such undesirable phenomena, some control strategies have been applied to the compression wave propagating inside the tunnel. The objective of the current work is to investigate the effect of tunnel entrance hoods on the entry compression wave at the vicinity of the tunnel entrance. Three types of entrance hoods were tested by the numerical method using the characteristics of method for a wide range of train speeds. The results show that the maximum pressure gradient of compression wave can be considerably reduced by the tunnel entrance hood. Desirable hood shape for reduction of the pressure transients and impulse noise was found to be of abrupt type hood with its cross-sectional area 2.5times the tunnel area.

본 논문은 효과적인 검사 패턴 발생 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 검사 패턴 발생 방법 들은 고장 $F_{i+l}$에 대한 검사 패턴 발생을 고장 F1,F2....,Fi들에 대한 검사 패턴 발생시 행한 계산과는 독립적으로 행하게 된다. 제안된 방법에서는 고장 Fi에 대한 검사벡터를 전수받아 고장$F_{i+l}$에 대한 검사벡터를 발생한다. 전수받은 값을 점차로 바꾸어 나가 면서 새로운 검사벡터가 발생된다. 전수받은 값은 부분적으로 고장 신호를 활성화하고 이 고장 신호를 전파시키기도 한다. 보통 이들은 다음 탈식과정에서 결정단계의 수와 회귀 의 수를 감소 시킨다. 잘로서 알려진 벤치마크 회로에 대한 실험 결과는 낮은 회귀한계 에서 매우 효과적임을 보여주고, 다른 알고리즘과 병합시키면 임의의 회귀한계에서도 매우 효과적임음을 보여 준다.

능동소나 시스템에서 천해 내부파에 의한 잔향음으로부터 유도될 수 있는 허위 표적 신호의 발생 가능성에 대하여 연구하였다. 내부파로부터 굴절된 하향 음선은 강한 해저면 잔향음 신호를 발생시켜 허위 표적 신호를 야기한다. 음원으로부터 송출된 음파는 3차원적으로 전파하므로, 2차원(r-z) 뿐만 아니라 수평방향에 대해서도 고려되어야 한다. 솔리톤(soliton)으로 구성된 내부파 모델링은 음원과 솔리톤간 거리 및 솔리톤의 수평폭과 같이 다양한 조건에서 수행되었다. 음원은 가변심도소나(VDS: Variable Depth Sonar)를 가정하여 모의 환경에서의 최소음속층에 위치시켰고, 음선 기반의 잔향음 모델을 이용하여 시간에 따른 잔향음 준위를 모의하였다. 결과적으로 음원과 솔리톤간 거리 및 솔리톤의 수평폭에 따라 여러 개의 허위표적 신호가 동시에 PPI(Plan Position Indicator) 전시기에 나타날 수 있음을 확인하였다.
