The motion estimation is the most important technique in the image compression of the video standards. In the case of next generation standards in the video codec as H.264, a high compression-efficiency can be also obtained by using a motion compensation. To obtain the accurate motion search, a motion estimation should be achieved up to 1/2 pixel and 1/4 pixel uiuts. To do this, the computational complexity is increased although the image compression rate is increased. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the advanced sub-pixel block matching algorithm to reduce the computational complexity by using a statistical characteristics of SAD(Sum of Absolute Difference). Generally, the probability of the minimum SAD values is high when searching point is in the distance 1 from the reference point. Thus, we reduced the searching area and then we can overcome the computational complexity problem. The main concept of proposed algorithm, which based on TSS(Three Step Search) method, first we find three minimum SAD points which is in integer distance unit, and then, in second step, the optimal point is in 1/2 pixel unit either between the most minimum SAD value point and the second minimum SAD point or between the most minimum SAD value point and the third minimum SAD point In third step, after finding the smallest SAD value between two SAD values on 1/2 pixel unit, the final optimized point is between the most minimum SAD value and the result value of the third step, in 1/2 pixel unit i.e., 1/4 pixel unit in totally. The conventional TSS method needs an eight.. search points in the sub-pixel steps in 1/2 pixel unit and also an eight search points in 1/4 pixel, to detect the optimal point. However, in proposed algorithm, only total five search points are needed. In the result. 23 % improvement of processing speed is obtained.

In this study, the microchannel plated heat exchanger were numerically studied for the enhancement of heat transfer in the channel configuration. Unit cold and hot fluid region with the microchannel were modeled and periodic boundary condition at the side wall was applied to continuously repeating geometry. The material of micro-structured plate is STS304 and working fluid is water. Triangular obstacles were placed in micro channel to enhance heat transfer. The performance of microchannel plated heat exchangers were numerically investigated with various obstacle configuration and Reynolds number under the parallel and counter flows. Heat transfer rate has increased about 18% compared with straight channel, but pressure drop also increased about 3.5 times. The main factor of increasing of pressure drop and heat transfer rate is considered that the momentum was lost to collide against obstacles, generation of secondary flow and boundary layer separation, wake and vortex forming phenomena.

We need to develop a on-line thermal performance analysis system for nuclear power plant to determine performance status and heat rate of turbine cycle. We have developed PERUPS(PERformance Upgrade System) to aid the effective performance analysis of turbine cycle. Procedures of performance calculation are improved using several adaptations from standard calculation algorithms based on PTC(Performance Test Code). Robustness in the on-line performance analysis is increased by verification & validation scheme for measured input data. The system also provides useful web interfaces for performance analysis such as graphic heat balance of turbine cycle and components, turbine expansion lines, automatic generation of analysis report. The system was successfully applied for YongGwang nuclear plant unit #3,4.

파리기후협정에 따른 온실가스 자발적 감축 의무 이행을 위해 세계적으로 석탄발전과 원자력발전의 비중을 줄이고 태양광 발전을 비롯한 재생에너지의 보급에 국가적 노력을 기울이고 있다. 우리나라도 법령을 도입하여 2040년까지 재생에너지의 발전비중을 30~35%까지 늘리고자 하고 있다. 또한 국외에서는 태양광 발전을 보도 및 도로에 적용하고자 하고 노력하고 있으나 국내의 경우 관련 연구가 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 태양광발전 도로를 개발하기 위한 선행연구로서 보도 및 광장에 적용가능한 태양광 발전 콘크리트 블록을 개발하였으며 이를 현장에 시공하여 적용성을 평가하였다. 실내실험결과 압축강도는 25.5~35.7MPa이 측정되었고 휨강도는 5.1~10.5MPa이 측정되어 국내 기준은 모두 만족하는 것으로 나타났으나 단위시멘트량이 많을수록 부순잔골재의 혼입에 따라 강도가 낮게 측정되었다. 흡수율은 최대 5.7%로 나타나 국내 기준인 7%이하를 만족하였으며 동결융해시험 결과 100싸이클 후 압축강도 감소율은 최대 6.3%로 나타나 양호한 수준으로 측정되었다. 시공 후 침하량을 측정결과 최대 2.498mm가 측정되었으며 전면적에 대해 불규칙한 침하가 발생하였는데 이는 시공시 모래층의 다짐이 불량하였거나 우수에 의한 모래 유출로 인한 것으로 판단된다. 초기발전량의 경우 일사량을 고려하면 적정량이 측정되었다. 태양광 패널과 콘크리트 블록의 유지관리 기법은 추후 연구를 통하여 보다 효율적으로 확립할 필요가 있다.

본 논문에서는 CMMB (China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting) 표준의 LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) 부호 복호기를 효과적으로 구현하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문은 AGU(Address Generation Unit)와 Index 행렬을 이용하여 효율적으로 주소 값을 생성함으로써, 메모리 사용량을 줄이고 복잡도를 감소시켰다. 또한 LDPC 부호 복호기의 throughput을 향상시키기 위해 한 클럭에 여러 메시지를 전달하는 부분 병렬 구조를 사용하였고, 하나의 주소를 사용하여 병렬적으로 동작이 가능하도록 노드 그룹핑을 진행하였다. 제안하는 LDPC 부호 복호기는 Verilog HDL로 구현하였으며, Synopsys사의 Design Compiler를 이용하여 Chartered $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library 공정으로 합성하였다. 제안된 복호기는 455K(in NAND2)의 크기를 가지며, 185MHz의 클럭에서 1/2 부호는 14.32 Mbps의 throughput을 갖고, 3/4 부호는 26.97Mbps의 throughput을 갖는다. 또한 기존의 CMMB용 LDPC의 메모리와 비교하여 0.39% 의 메모리만 사용된다.

Recently, Use of Auxiliary power unit(APU) is increasing by growing demand for improvement of insufficient electric power and installation of emergency generation devices in military tracked vehicles and civil markets. And the trend is that the units are demanded for smaller size, lighter weight and higher output power, etc to suit consumer demands. To achieve these, it is essential to develop high performance system. Therefore, in this study, it was conducted in numerical analysis to investigate flow characteristics of rotor in APU generator. Also output performance of APU applied on the rotor is analyzed by experimental method. As the result, higher rotating speed of rotor caused high air flow rate at suction and it leads to linear increase of discharging flow rate. The maximum theoretical power was achieved at 12 $m^3$/min of flow rate and, at that time, output power of generator was about 7.825 kW. Also, it can be confirmed the stabilization of output performance is achieved in about 2 seconds by experiment.

Several prediction model of penetration rate (PR) of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) have been focused on applying to design stage. In construction stage, however, the expected PR and its trends are changed during tunneling owing to TBM excavation skills and the gap between the investigated and actual geological conditions. Monitoring the PR during tunneling is crucial to rescheduling the excavation plan in real-time. This study proposes a sequential prediction method applicable in the construction stage. Geological and TBM operating data are collected from Gunpo cable tunnel in Korea, and preprocessed through normalization and augmentation. The results show that the sequential prediction for 1 ring unit prediction distance (UPD) is R²≥0.79; whereas, a one-step prediction is R²≤0.30. In modeling algorithm, a gradient boosted regression tree (GBRT) outperformed a least square-based linear regression in sequential prediction method. For practical use, a simple equation between the R² and UPD is proposed. When UPD increases R² decreases exponentially; In particular, UPD at R²=0.60 is calculated as 28 rings using the equation. Such a time interval will provide enough time for decision-making. Evidently, the UPD can be adjusted depending on other project and the R² value targeted by an operator. Therefore, a calculation process for the equation between the R² and UPD is addressed.

A new-generation video coding standard, named High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), has recently been developed by JCT-VC. This new standard provides a significant improvement in picture quality, especially for high-resolution videos. However, one the most important challenges in HEVC is time complexity. A quadtree-based structure is created for the encoding and decoding processes and the rate-distortion (RD) cost is calculated for all possible dimensions of coding units in the quadtree. This provides a high encoding quality, but also causes computational complexity. We focus on a reduction scheme of the computational complexity and propose a new approach that can terminate the quadtree-based structure early, based on the RD costs of the parent and current levels. Our proposed algorithm is compared with HEVC Test Model version 10.0 software and a previously proposed algorithm. Experimental results show that our algorithm provides a significant time reduction for encoding, with only a small loss in video quality.
