Channel distortion degrades the performance of speech recognizer in telephone environment. It mainly results from the bandwidth limitation and variation of transmission channel. Variation of channel characteristics is usually represented as baseline shift in the cepstrum domain. Thus undesirable effect of the channel variation can be removed by subtracting the mean from the cepstrum. In this paper, to improve the recognition performance of Korea connected digit telephone speech, channel compensation methods such as CMN (Cepstral Mean Normalization), RTCN (Real Time Cepatral Normalization), MCMN (Modified CMN) and MRTCN (Modified RTCN) are applied to the static MFCC. Both MCMN and MRTCN are obtained from the CMN and RTCN, respectively, using variance normalization in the cepstrum domain. Using HTK v3.1 system, recognition experiments are performed for Korean connected digit telephone speech database released by SITEC (Speech Information Technology & Industry Promotion Center). Experiments have shown that MRTCN gives the best result with recognition rate of 90.11% for connected digit. This corresponds to the performance improvement over MFCC alone by 1.72%, i.e, error reduction rate of 14.82%.

As a starting material, BCP (biphasic calcium phosphate) nano powder was synthesized by a hydrothermal microwave-assisted process. A highly porous BCP scaffold was fabricated by the sponge replica method using 60 ppi (pore per inch) of polyurethane sponge. The BCP scaffold had interconnected pores ranging from $100\;{\mu}m$ to $1000\;{\mu}m$, which were similar to natural cancellous bone. To realize the antibacterial property, a microwave-assisted nano Ag spot coating process was used. The morphology and distribution of nano Ag particles were different depending on the coating conditions, such as concentration of the $AgNO_3$ solution, microwave irradiation times, etc. With an increased microwave irradiation time, the amount of coated nano Ag particles increased. The surface of the BCP scaffold was totally covered with nano Ag particles homogeneously at 20 seconds of microwave irradiation time when 0.6 g of $AgNO_3$ was used. With an increased amount of $AgNO_3$ and irradiation time, the size of the coated particles increased. Antibacterial activities of the solution extracted from the Ag-coated BCP scaffold were examined against gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). When 0.6 g of $AgNO_3$ was used for coating the Ag-coated scaffold, it showed higher antibacterial activities than that of the Ag-coated scaffold using 0.8 g of $AgNO_3$.

김민성,김려연,학문초,하판봉,김영희,Kim, Min-Sung,Jin, Liyan,Hao, Wenchao,Ha, Pan-Bong,Kim, Young-Hee 한국정보통신학회 2013 한국정보통신학회논문지 Vol.17 No.10

본 논문에서는 power IC에서 파워가 ON되어있는 동안 입력 신호인 RD(Read) 신호 포트에 glitch와 같은 신호 잡음이 발생하더라도 파워-업(power-up)시 readout된 DOUT 데이터를 유지하면서 다시 읽기 모드로 재진입하지 못하도록 막아주는 IRD(Internal Read Data) 회로를 제안하였다. 그리고 pulsed WL(Word-Line) 구동방식을 사용하여 differential paird eFuse OTP 셀의 read 트랜지스터에 수 십 ${\mu}A$의 DC 전류가 흐르는 것을 방지하여 blowing 안된 eFuse 링크가 EM(Electro-Migration)에 의해 blowing되는 것을 막아주어 신뢰성을 확보하였다. 또한 program-verify-read 모드에서 프로그램된 eFuse 저항의 변동을 고려하여 가변 풀-업 부하(variable pull-up load)를 갖는 센싱 마진 테스트 기능을 수행하는 동시에 프로그램 데이터와 read 데이터를 비교하여 PFb(pass fail bar) 핀으로 비교 결과를 출력하는 회로를 설계하였다. $0.18{\mu}m$ 공정을 이용하여 설계된 8-비트 eFuse OTP IP의 레이아웃 면적은 $189.625{\mu}m{\times}138.850{\mu}m(=0.0263mm^2)$이다. In this paper, an IRD (internal read data) circuit preventing the reentry into the read mode while keeping the read-out DOUT datum at power-up even if noise such as glitches occurs at signal ports such as an input signal port RD (read) when a power IC is on, is proposed. Also, a pulsed WL (word line) driving method is used to prevent a DC current of several tens of micro amperes from flowing into the read transistor of a differential paired eFuse OTP cell. Thus, reliability is secured by preventing non-blown eFuse links from being blown by the EM (electro-migration). Furthermore, a compared output between a programmed datum and a read-out datum is outputted to the PFb (pass fail bar) pin while performing a sensing margin test with a variable pull-up load in consideration of resistance variation of a programmed eFuse in the program-verify-read mode. The layout size of the 8-bit eFuse OTP IP with a $0.18{\mu}m$ process is $189.625{\mu}m{\times}138.850{\mu}m(=0.0263mm^2)$.

pH 나노센서로의 응용을 위한 UV-가교 P4VP 박막에 고정한 금 나노입자의 특성

김민성,정연태,Kim, Min-Sung,Jeong, Yeon-Tae 한국전기전자재료학회 2008 전기전자재료학회논문지 Vol.21 No.11

In this report, we describe the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) immobilized on pH. responsive, cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) thin films, as a potential application for pH nanosensors. The methodology is based on the variation in surface plasmon resonance of immobilized AuNPs with changing the interparticle distances, caused by the swelling/deswelling of the pH responsive P4VP polymer films. The change in optical properties of the immobilized AuNPs in response to the pH of surrounding media was investigated by a simple yet powerful tool; UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The swelling of the P4VP chains at pH 2 causes an increase in the interparticle distances of immobilized AUNPS ($\sim20nm$) and hence leads to a blue shift of 48 nm in their surface plasmon resonance band peak. On the other hand, when the surrounding media was altered from pH 2 to 10, a red shift of absorption maxima was observed. The changes were rapid, and the effect was reversible. This system could prove to be useful in fabricating nanosensors for detecting the pH or pH changes of surrounding aqueous medium.

김민성,최보훈,Kim Min-Sung,Choi Bo-Hun 한국통신학회 2005 韓國通信學會論文誌 Vol.30 No.1a

표준 단일모드 광섬유를 전송선으로 사용하고, Raman 증폭기 없이 EDFA 증폭기만을 사용하여, 각 채널당 10 Gb/s의 파장다중화된 40개 채널신호들을 장거리 전송하는 경제적인 광 링크를 구성한 뒤, 이 링크의 전송 성능 최적화를 위해 분산 맵 구조의 차이에 따른 성능 차이를 분석하였다. 이 링크의 분산 맵은 전치분산보상, 구간분산보상 그리고 후치분산보상으로 나누어지는데 이들의 다양한 조합을 통해 15 가지의 다양한 분산 맵들을 구성한 뒤 각각의 경우를 분석하여 링크 성능을 크게 향상시키는 최적화된 분산맵 구조를 구하였다. 또한, 이 최적화된 분산 조건이, 단일모드 광섬유와 분산보상 광섬유가 가지는 파장에 따른 분산 기울기의 불일치로 인해 받게 되는 영향을 조사하였고, 이 영향이 링크의 성능에 미치는 효과가 무시될 수 있는 분산 기울기의 허용 가능한 불일치 범위를 구했다. We have studied the dispersion properties of a 40 channel x 10 Gbit/s wavelength division multiplexer(WDM) transmission link using standard single mode fiber with all EDFA amplification over 30 x 100 km spans. The dispersion map of the link was investigated by adding fiber sections with positive or negative dispersion at the transmitter, within each amplifier span, and at the receiver. Optimum combinations of these dispersive fiber lengths were attained to significantly enhance the overall transmission performance.

김민성,한영근,Kim, Min-Sung,Han, Young-Geun 한국광학회 2006 한국광학회지 Vol.17 No.1

위상 천이 광섬유 격자를 직렬로 연결하였을 경우 파장 투과 특성에 대해서 이론 및 실험적으로 분석하였다. $\pi$만큼의 위상 천이가 유도된 장주기 격자의 파장 투과 특성은 직렬 연결되는 위상 천이 장주기 격자의 개수에 따라 변화하며 개수를 증가시킴에 따라 파장 투과 대역폭을 증가시킬 수 있다. 또한 $\pi$-위상 천이 장주기 격자의 파장 투과 대역폭은 격자 길이를 변화시킴에 따라 조절할 수 있으며 길이가 다른 두 개의 $\pi$-위상 천이 장주기 격자를 직렬로 연결하면 파장 투과 및 제거 대역폭을 조절할 수 있다 그리고 장주기 격자의 반을 UV에 노출 시켰을 때, 위상 천이 장주기 격자가 형성됨을 관찰하였고, 초기 커플링 세기에 따라 격자의 형성이 달라짐과 인가되는 인상 천이 크기에 따라서 다양한 형태의 위상 천이 장주기 광섬유 격자의 투과 특성을 나타내었다. The transmission characteristics of multiply cascaded phase-shifted long-period fiber gratings(LPFGs) were investigated theo-retically and experimentally. Their passband can be changed by increasing the number of p-shifted LPFGs. When two p-shifted LPFGs with different grating lengths are cascaded in series, the bandwidth of the rejection band and passband can be controlled by the pristine characteristics of two gratings. We also investigate the transmission characteristics of phase-shifted LPFG by exposing the half of LPFG region to UV laser. The transmission characteristics strongly depend on the initial coupling strength of the LPFG.

Al-Zn 혼합물의 열 증발을 이용한 ZnO 결정의 합성에서 결정의 형상에 미치는 합성 온도와 시간의 영향

김민성,Kim, Min-Sung 한국재료학회 2015 한국재료학회지 Vol.25 No.6

ZnO micro/nanocrystals at large scale were synthesized through the thermal evaporation of Al-Zn mixtures under air atmosphere. The effect of synthetic temperature and time on the morphology of the micro/nanocrystals was examined. It was found that the temperature and time affected the morphology of the ZnO crystals. At temperatures below $900^{\circ}C$, no crystals were synthesized. At a temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$, ZnO crystals with a rod shape were synthesized. With an increase in temperature from $1000^{\circ}C$ to $1100^{\circ}C$, the morphology of the crystals changed from rod shape to wire and granular shapes. As the time increased from 2 h to 3 h at $1000^{\circ}C$, tetrapod-shaped ZnO crystals started to form. XRD patterns showed that the ZnO crystals had a hexagonal wurtzite structure. EDX analysis revealed that the ZnO crystals had high purity. It is believed that the ZnO nanowires were grown via a vapor-solid mechanism because no catalyst particles were observed at the tips of the micro/nanocrystals in the SEM images.

Purpose : This study was performed to evaluate the diagnostic ability of ultrasonography in detection of bone defects and new bone formation. Materials and Methods : Experimental bony defects were prepared on the parietal bone samples acquired from 3.5 kg New Zealand male rabbits. The defects were evaluated using ultrasonography and CBCT, and examined histologically at interval of 1, 3, 6, and 8 weeks. Results : Ultrasonograph demonstrated hyperechogenicity in the defect area at 3 weeks and broadened hyperechogenicity from the margin of bone defect at 6 and 8 weeks due to new bone formation. On the CBCT images, new bone formation was first observed at 3 weeks around the margin of the defect, and showed gradually increase at 6 and 8 weeks. Histologic findings revealed existence of the fibroblasts and fibrous connective tissue with abundant capillary vessels only at 1 week, but osteoid tissue and newly formed trabecular bone at 3 weeks. Bone remodeling in the defect area was observed at 6 weeks and increased calcification and dense trabecular bone formation was observed at 8 weeks. Conclusions : Ultrasonograph proved to be a very useful diagnostic tool in detecting the bony defect and new bone formation. Additionally, ultrasonography provided valuable information regarding the blood supply around the defect area.
