We have proposed BIST method and circuit for embedded 16M SDRAM with logic. It can test the AC parameter of embedded 16M SDRAM using the BIST circuit capable of detecting the address of a fail cell installed in an Merged Memory with Logic(MML). It generates the information of repair for redundancy circuit. The function and AC parameter of the embedded memory can also be tested using the proposed BIST method. It is possible to test the embedded SDRAM without external test pin. The total gate of the BIST circuit is approximately 4,500 in the case of synthesizing by 0.25μm cell library and is verified by Verilog simulation. The test time of each one AC parameter is about 200ms using 2Y-March 14n algorithm.

Seismic performance evaluation systems require rational classification of structure systems, proper evaluation criteria, and their scoring index for synthesis. Current seismic performance systems need expert judgments based on collection of available data, approximate analysis of important items, and various scoring system. This study presents a three-step seismic performance evaluation system for building structures in Korea. Each evaluation step determines the seismic performance and the method depends on the degree of refinement of analysis. The preliminary step evaluation involves the global attributes of structures such as vertical irregularity, asymmetric plan, redundancy, and age of structures. The second step requires an elastic analysis for estimation of forces acting on critical sections and checks the strength and ductility. The final step requires inelastic capacity of structures. Each stephas own evaluation scheme with proper weighing factor dependent on the importance and consequence. This study applies the fuzzy theory to a scoring method that synthesizes the individual quantity to a representative value.

The purpose of this paper is to explain the implementation method in order to enhance stability and reliability of embedded system. In this research, Texas Instrument (TI)'s TMS570 MCU(Micro Controller Unit) is used to satisfy the standard of stability that is IEC 61508. IEC 61508 suggest SIL(Safety Integrity Level) from 1 to 4 and TMS570 is satisfied SIL3. Also, TMS570 can provide several stability functions can be used in realtime system. To use such functions, this paper suggest the solution about the defect that can be used in realtime system. In basic way TMR(Triple Modular Redundancy) suggested in addition to explain about the way to improve safety and reliability. Also this paper will suggest the method that reinforce the stability of calculation by using multiplex voter and memory.

In this paper, we propose a method that applies matrix decomposition technique to the connection of actuator capabilities of each robot to object acceleration limits for multiple cooperative robot systems. The robot systems under consideration are composed of several robot manipulators and each robot contacts a single object to carry the object while satisfying the constraints described in kinematics as well as dynamics. By manipulating kinematic and dynamic equations of both robots and objects, we at first derive a matrix relating joint torques with object acceleration, manipulate the null space of the matrix, and then we decompose the matrix into three parts representing indeterminancy, connectivity, and redundancy. With the decomposed matrix we derive the boundaries of object accelerations from given joint actuators. To show the validity of the proposed method some examples are given in which the results can be expected by intuitive observation.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid feature extraction method in which Principal Components Analysis is combined with optimized k-Means clustering technique. Our approach hierarchically reduces the redundancy of features with high explanation in principal components analysis for choosing a good subset of features critical to improve the performance of classifiers. Based on this result, we evaluate the performance of intrusion detection by using Support Vector Machine and a nonparametric approach based on k-Nearest Neighbor over data sets with reduced features. The Experiment results with KDD Cup 1999 dataset show several advantages in terms of computational complexity and our method achieves significant detection rate which shows possibility of detecting successfully attacks.

This paper presents a detailed theoretical analysis and performance assessment of the capacitor voltage balancing strategies for staircase modulated modular multilevel converters (MMC) in terms of the algorithm structures, voltage balancing effect, and switching frequency. A constant-frequency redundancy selection (CFRS) method with minimal switching loss is proposed and the function realization of specific modules of the algorithm is given. This method is simple and efficient in both switching frequency and regulation capacity. Laboratory results show very good agreement with the theoretical analysis and numerical simulations.

A torque control algorithm suitable for detecting an open circuit failure in which one of the three phases is unable to supply power to a motor in the permanent magnet synchronous motor is presented in this paper. When the failure occurs in the inverter, the output torque of motor is restricted. A new method which is implemented by using only a processor algorithm internally without any hardware redundancy circuit is proposed. A simulation and experimental study is carried out with a three phase inverter system to show the validity of the proposed method.

In this study, the efficient channel coding method combined with CS-ACELP is proposed. The same convolutional coder and Viterbi decoder of COMA mobile communication system is used as channel coder. To make the best available use of limited channel coding redundancy, unequal error protection of punctured convolutional coder is used for variable reate allocation. But, the overall code rate is given by 2. The performance of proposed coder is analyzed and simulated in a Rayleigh fading channel. Experimental results show that the objective and subjective speech quality of variable rate channel coding methods are superior to those of non-variable channel coding method.

Distributed Control System has been used for large scale and critical system control such as aerospace industries, chemical and power plant and so on. It is very impotant factors for design of the control system to be reliable and fault-tolerant. These control systems have backup or redundant processing modules for minimizing the time of failure and improving reliability. But such methods have changeover duration from faulty module to healthy one. During that interval, feedback control loop raises bumper and performance of the system become worse. TMR(Triple Modular Redundancy) control system is one of the best reliable ones that can overcome such a mortal drawback. This paper analyzes the components of TMR system functionally and proposes practical and cost effective configuration method for turbine control of thermal power plant.
