In this paper, an intra prediction hardware architecture is proposed to reduce computational complexity of intra prediction in HEVC decoder. The architecture uses shared operation units and common operation units and adopts a fast smoothing decision algorithm and a fast algorithm to generate coefficients of a filter. The shared operation unit shares adders processing common equations to remove the computational redundancy. The unit computes an average value in DC mode for reducing the number of execution cycles in DC mode. In order to reduce operation units, the common operation unit uses one operation unit generating predicted pixels and filtered pixels in all prediction modes. In order to reduce processing time and operators, the decision algorithm uses only bit-comparators and the fast algorithm uses LUT instead of multiplication operators. The proposed architecture using four shared operation units and eight common operation units which can reduce execution cycles of intra prediction. The architecture is synthesized using TSMC 0.13um CMOS technology. The gate count and the maximum operating frequency are 40.5k and 164MHz, respectively. As the result of measuring the performance of the proposed architecture using the extracted data from HM 7.1, the execution cycle of the architecture is about 93.7% less than the previous design.

This paper presents parallel operation of ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) FUll Bridge Converter with Dynamic Current Shared Inductor. In the conventional method, CT(Current Transformer) have been used tn share the load current equally with converters. In this system, at parallel operation of ZVT Full Bridge Converter, dynamic current shared inductor divides the same current of unit converter and ZVT circuit aids to high efficiency. Superiority of the characteristics is verified through the experiment with a 2[㎾], 50[㎑] prototype converter.

This paper presents parallel operation and control loop design of ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) Full Bridge DC/DC Converter. At parallel operation of ZVT Full Bridge Converter, dynamic current shared inductor devides the same current of unit converter and ZVT circuit and aids to high efficiency in the system. Base on the modeling of ZVT. Full Bridge Converter, the control loop is designed using a simple two-pole, one-zero compensation circuit. To show the validity of the design procedures, the small signal analysis of the closed loop system and open loop system is carried out and the superiority of the dynamic characteristics is verified through the experiment with a 2kW, 50kHz prototype converter.

Recently, the importance of non-face-to-face has been emphasized due to COVID-19, and the use of sharing spaces is also expanding. The use of uncontact check-in technology for access control of sharing spaces reduces waiting time and optimizes workers' efficiency, resulting in operational cost savings. In this paper, we propose a sharing space access management system based on a mobile key and RCU (Room Control Unit), access to the facility using a mobile key, and monitor the facility using an RCU. Proposal system is for shared accommodation, rental field (residence, sale-selling hotel), shared office, etc. when there is a one-time visitor on a specific day and time, the corresponding password is delivered to the mobile platform to expose and key the existing password. It is supported by a field-adaptive system that can reduce discomfort such as delivery. In order to test the operation of the proposed integrated system, tests were conducted according to scenarios to understand the overall status of the user's reservation, check-in, and check-out, and a 100% success rate was derived for each item by setting performance indicators to prove test reliability.

Recently, modular construction method has been widely applied to projects with repetitive processes including dormitory, the residential facility, and the hotel construction due to reduced labor input and shortened construction schedule. Generally, about 40% of total on-site construction cost excluding unit installation cost, is put on exterior finishing work, and thus management of finishing work is deemed important in maintaining the targeted schedule and cost. Since limited equipment is shared so that subsequent activities are not affected while carrying out on-site installation and finishing work, lifting plan becomes more important for modular projects with greater portion of finishing work load. In this regard, tower crane operation plan may take the form of a single cycle or multiple cycles in which equipment efficiency can be affected. However, difficulties exist in evaluating alternatives to tower crane operation plans supporting unit installation and finishing work. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the alternative of tower crane operation method according to the cyclic period setting in modular building site to determine the effect on T/C uptime and process by parameterizing lifting time for unit and exterior finishing material, lift cycle for unit and exterior finishing material and time required for finishing work. Accordingly, this study develops a simulation model that can increase the tower crane efficiency by controlling the work speed. An academic contribution of this study is to suggest a resource leveling method applying the concept of lifting cycle, and further is expected to be managerially used as a basis for an alternative evaluation of equipment plan.

In this paper, we design a 256 kbits EEPROM for a MCU (Microcontroller unit) with the wide voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V. The memory space of the EEPROM is separated into a program and data region. An option memory region is added for storing user IDs, serial numbers and so forth. By making HPWs (High-voltage P-wells) of EEPROM cell arrays with the same bias voltages in accordance with the operation modes shared in a double word unit, we can reduce the HPW-to-HPW space by a half and hence the area of the EEPROM cell arrays by 9.1 percent. Also, we propose a page buffer circuit reducing a test time, and a write-verify-read mode securing a reliability of the EEPROM. Furthermore, we propose a DC-DC converter that can be applied to a MCU with the wide voltage range. Finally, we come up with a method of obtaining the oscillation period of a charge pump. The layout size of the designed 256 kbits EEPROM IP with MagnaChip's 0.18 ${\mu}m$ EEPROM process is $1581.55{\mu}m{\times}792.00{\mu}m$.

This paper presents an implementation method of multi-channel synchronized phasor measurement device, which is based on the ASIC implementation of the sliding-DFT. A time-shared multiplier structure is proposed to minimize the number of gates required for the implementation. The design is verified by the timing simulation of its operation. The effect of coefficient approximation in the recursive implementation of the sliding-DFT is analytically derived and verified with the computer simulations.

We have developed biological signal measurement modules and data acquisition and control card for a biological signal measurement, archiving, and communication system (SiMACS). Biological signals included in this system are ECG, EEG, EMG, invasive blood pressure, respiration, and temperature. Parameters of each module can be controlled by PC-base IDPU (intelligent data processing unit) through a data acquisition and control card. The data acquisition and control card can collect up to 16 channels of biological signals with sampling rate of $50\;{\sim}\;2,000Hz$ and 12-bit resolution. All measurement moduls and data acquisition functions are controlled by microcontroller which receives commands from PC. All data transfers among PC, microcontroller, and ADC are done through a shared RAM access by polling method for real rime operation.

This research has an intention of developing a professional development program. We proposed an alternative mathematics teacher training model based on the situated learning theory, community of practice, and reflective practitioner. The developed mathematics teacher professional development program recruited participation unit that was consisted of 3 or 4 teachers in same school and total of 28 teachers from 9 schools. Also, there were 18 mentors to support each school. In this sense, it can be called multi-tired teacher community professional development program. Through the program, the teachers improve their teaching competency. Also, the operation ability of teacher learning community was improved. Learning community culture has been formed in each school. It shows ability that the explorative learning community can be operated voluntarily although the program finished. Furthermore, community shared corporate responsibility about open class. They recognize open class as a new method to improve community teaching ability than a tool to evaluate individual teaching ability.
