Abstract:
PURPOSE: A flash memory system and a contents-based block management method thereof are provided to manage blocks by using a contents-based list in order to reduce a mount time and efficiently manage a wear ratio. CONSTITUTION: A RAM(Read Random Memory)(120) loads a contents-based file system operated by a processing unit(110), and a flash memory(140) includes the blocks managed by the contents-based file system. If a file writing operation is requested, the contents-based file system selects one of blocks. The contents-based file system determines the kinds of the selected blocks as one of a pure block, a mixed block and a free block. The contents-based file system stores block type information and writing requested file at the block.

PURPOSE: An image quality evaluation method of an enlarged image based on an original image is provided to supply an accurate evaluation reference and generate a quantitative image quality evaluation result, thereby guaranteeing objectivity and reliability for the image quality evaluation result. CONSTITUTION: An original image, which is a low-resolution image, and edge information of an enlarged image of the low-resolution image are detected(S110). Ringing pixel information is detected from the enlarged image by comparing the edge information of the enlarged image with edge information of the original image(S130). Image quality evaluation information of the enlarged image is generated based on the detected ringing pixel information(S150). [Reference numerals] (AA) Start; (BB) Enlarged image information; (CC) Original image information; (DD) End; (S110) Detect an edge; (S120) Generate a strong edge map and a weak edge map; (S130) Detect a weak edge and a ringing pixel; (S140) Measure the size and the number of the detected weak edge; (S150) Quantitatively evaluate the quality of an enlarged image
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A device for generating an image with high resolution is provided to generate an image of higher resolution than the resolution of an input image by reducing a dictionary using a K-means clustering algorithm. CONSTITUTION: An image combining unit(230) searches an input low patch extracted from an input image, a low patch whose difference value from a reference value is small, and a high patch paired with the low patch from a first dictionary. The image combining unit searches a residual patch related to the searched high patch from a second dictionary. The image combining unit adds the searched high patch to the searched residual patch. The image combining unit generates an image whose resolution is higher than the resolution of the input image.

PURPOSE: An encryption device for protecting a digital content on the basis of a chaos theory is provided to improve random number characteristics for protecting a digital content by coding a digital content stream. CONSTITUTION: A hash key generating part (120) generates a hash key value by inputting a bit value normalized to the coefficients of a discrete cosine transform (DCT) block (10) in a hash chain. A random number block generating part (140) generates an initial pseudo-random number block from the hash key value. A coefficient substituting part (160) generates a final pseudo-random number block by substituting the initial pseudo random block. A mapping part (180) conducts a mapping to the coefficients of the DCT block and the final pseudo-random number block. The mapping part outputs a DCT block (30) coded to a digital content stream.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A time to digital converter is provided to perform micro detection after a course is detected, thereby obtaining high time resolution, short latency, and low complexity. CONSTITUTION: A course detector(110) detects a course by a chain delay line. The course detector comprises an inverter(1121) and a plurality of flip-flops which latches the output of each inverter. A decoder and a selector(120) find a section where '1' is converted into '0' from output bits of the source detector. The decoder and the selector output a clock. A micro detector(130) performs micro detection by differential delay devices which are connected each other in parallel.

Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device for testing capacitive crosstalk defects between unit cells and a test method therein are provided to perform the test by detecting an AC current between the unit cells directly, by applying stress to a bit line in the semiconductor memory device. A plurality of unit cells(C0,C1) store data. A bit line test driving part(200) detects crosstalk between the plurality of unit cells by inputting a different test signal to a pair of bit lines connected to the plurality of unit cells in a test mode. The unit cell includes a latch for storing data, a first switch and a second switch. The first switch transmits the data stored in the latch to one of the pair of bit lines. The second switch transmits inverted value of the data to the other of the pair of bit lines.
