In this paper, a simple and practical corresponding-color reproduction model based on the chromatic adaptation of the human visual system (HVS), named a modified von Kries chromatic-adaptation model, is proposed for TV and PC monitors under a variety of viewing conditions. We derived the proposed corresponding-color reproduction model based on Breneman's corresponding-color data. The proposed model has a 1-2% less error than Fairchild's and Breneman's model, 11.5% less error than von Kries' model and 60% less error than CIECAM97s' model in terms of color reproduction errors, (ΔE*uv) ′. Also, these tendency is similar in color reproduction errors, ΔE*ab. We implemented a corresponding-color reproduction system using the proposed model under a variety of viewing conditions. For the determination of viewing conditions, illuminant correlated color temperatures (CCTs) are measured by yellow/cyan sensors. These measured surround illuminant CCTs can estimate an adaptated neutral point of the HVS in TV viewing conditions, Experiments were carried out to assess the proposed model performance in terms of color fidelity by comparing complex images on a LCD monitor under illuminants from 2500 K to 7500 K. We confirmed that the implemented system using the proposed model can predict corresponding-color data very well under a variety of viewing conditions. Therefore, by applying the proposed model and system to the LCD, the reproduction colors viewed in real surrounding viewing conditions on the LCD could appear the same as the original object colors under standard viewing conditions. Furthermore, they could be applied to any other color display device such as a CRT, a PDF, and a DLP in order to get better reproduction colors.

Finding the nearest point in a lattice is an NP-hard problem for which we desire a simplified architecture. Furthermore, output of confidence measures or soft information is desirable for decoding/detection problems, yet generating such information further complicates the task. This paper presents an efficient and highly parallelisable architecture for a list sphere detector that is particularly suited to ASIC implementation. Various degrees of parallelism are explored and compared. This architecture finds application in multiuser and MIMO detectors, providing soft estimates of the transmitted symbols.

The number of internet users rapidly increases as the business relies more on the internet and intranet. Accordingly, the traffic on the Internet is increasing dramatically. The workload on the servers is also increasing rapidly so that servers will be easily overloaded for a short time. To overcome the overloading problem of the servers, it is necessary to increase system performance and availability. In the web server cluster environment, it is necessary to implement router that performs routing using TCP information and requested content information, in order to process client's requests in connection with multiple servers. In this paper, designs a load balancer via direct routing that share a virtual service on a single IP address in the Linux system and suggests an efficient load balancing method to improve transmission speed in the web server cluster environment. It will increase performance and scalability with fast packet transfer and removing bottleneck problem by using TCP Splicing and Content-Aware Balancer method.

In this work, a fabrication approach for tapered column structures with high aspect ratio is presented, and its application to microneedle fabrication is discussed. Microlenses were fabricated on a glass substrate by chromium-masked isotropic wet etching. This substrate was subsequently coated with SU-8 negative epoxy resist and exposed from the back. The chromium acted in a self-aligned fashion to block light from the non-lens portion of the substrate, and the lenses acted to shape the beam through the epoxy to produce sharply-tapered structures. An extension of the technique allows for subsequent repetition of the structure through micromolding;solid biodegradable microneedles with a cone shape were fabricated in this manner. The microneedles have sharply tapered tips and are 1.5 mm in height. These needles were inserted into human skin and were demonstrated to be suitable for blood extraction.

In deep submicrometer (DSM) design, the interconnect delay becomes equally as or more important than that of logic gates. In particular, to achieve timing closure in DSM design, it is essential to consider the interconnect delay at an early stage of the synthesis process. Unfortunately, few successes of achieving a tight link of front-end synthesis to back-end layout have been reported, from a practical point of view, mainly due to the inaccuracy of predicting the layout effects during the synthesis. In this brief, we address a new approach to the problem of synthesis of parallel multiplier circuits combined with the consideration of layout effects. The approach is intended to overcome some of the limitations of the previous works, in which the effects of layout on the synthesis have either not been taken into account or considered only in local and limited ways, or the computation time is extremely large. The proposed approach refines the structure and placement of the circuit by iteratively performing two tasks. Task 1: timing-driven relocation. For a parallel multiplier circuit that was restructured at the prior iteration, we attempt to replace the modules in the structure while retaining the interconnects to find a placement with shorter timing. Task 2: timing-driven resynthesis. We attempt to restructure the interconnect topology of the placement obtained from Task 1 to further reduce the circuit timing, employing two heuristics: a modified version of timing-optimal FA-tree allocation by Stelling et al. (1996), considering interconnect delay, and a critical path-based local interconnect refinement. The iterative mechanism of the two tasks practically tightly integrates the synthesis and placement tasks so that both of the effects of placement on the results of synthesis and the effects of synthesis on the results of placement are taken into account. From experiments using a set of benchmark designs, it is shown that the approach is quite effective and efficient

Access control in enterprises is a key research area in the realm of computer Security because of the unique needs of the target enterprise. As the enterprise typically has large user and resource pools, administering the access control based on any framework could in itself be a daunting task. This work presents X-GTRBAC Admin, an administration model that aims at enabling policy administration within a large enterprise. In particular, it simplifies the process of user-to-role and permission-to-role assignments, and thus allows decentralization of the policy administration tasks. Secondly, it also allows for specifying the domain of authority of the system administrators, and hence provides mechanism to distribute the administrative authority over multiple domains within the enterprise. The paper also illustrates the applicability of the administrative concepts presented in our framework for enterprise-wide access control.

For network computing on desktop machines, fast execution of Java bytecode programs is essential because these machines are expected to run substantial application programs written in Java. We believe higher Java performance can be achieved by exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) in the context of Java JIT compilation. This paper introduces VLaTTe, a Java JIT compiler for VLIW machines that performs efficient sch.duling while doing fast register allocation. It is an extended version of our previous JIT compiler for RISC machines called LaTTe [1] whose translation overhead is low (i.e., consistently taking one or two seconds for SPECJVM98 benchmarks) due to its fast register allocation. VLaTTe adds the sch.duling capability onto the same framework of register allocation, with a constraint for precise in-order exception handling which guarantees the same Java exception behavior with the original byte-code program. Our experimental results on the SPECJVM98 benchmarks show that VLaTTe achieves a geometric mean of useful IPC 1.7 (2-ALU), 2.1 (4-ALU), and 2.3 (8-ALU), while the sch.duling/allocation overhead is 3.6 times longer than LaTTe's on average, which appears to be reasonable.

The isotropic/anisotropic selec.ive epitaxial growth (SEG) behavior and the faceting morphology change in Si epitaxial layers were studied. The cold wall ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV-CVD) was used to grow the Si layers. The scanning elec.ron microscopy (SEM), transmission elec.ron microscopy (TEM), scanning transmission elec.ron microscopy (STEM) and high-resolution transmission elec.ron microscopy (HRTEM) techniques were applied to study the growth behavior and faceting morphology. It was observed that the lateral overgrowth of Si was suppressed as the growth temperature increased and the Si2H6 flow rate decreased, which subsequently enhanced the anisotropic SEG of Si.

This paper describes a method of test data compression for a given test set using statistical encoding. In order to maximize the effectiveness of statistical encoding, the method first converts some specified input values in the test set to unspecified ones without losing fault coverage, and then reassigns appropriate logic values to the unspecified inputs. Experimental results for ISCAS-89 benchmark circuits show that the proposed method can on the average reduce the test data volume to less than 25% of that required for the original test set.
