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 $AgNO_3$.

Channel distortion and coarticulation effect in the Korean connected digit telephone speech make it difficult to achieve high performance of connected digit recognition in the telephone environment. In this paper, as a basic research to improve the recognition performance of Korean connected digit telephone speech, recognition error patterns are investigated and analyzed. Korean connected digit telephone speech database released by SiTEC and HTK system are used for recognition experiments. Both DWFBA and MRTCN methods are used for feature extraction and channel compensation, respectively. Experimental results are discussed with our findings.

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%.

본 논문에서는 Magnachip $0.18{\mu}m$ 공정을 이용하여 PMIC용 32bit eFuse OTP IP를 설계하였다. eFuse 링크 아래에 N-Well을 두어 프로그램시 eFuse 링크와 p-기판의 VSS가 단락되는 문제점을 해결하였다. 그리고 디코딩된 WERP (WL Enable for Read or Program) 신호가 eFuse OTP 메모리로 바로 입력되는 경우 듀얼 포트 eFuse OTP 메모리 셀의 RWL (Read Word-Line)과 WWL (Write Word-Line)을 선택적으로 활성화해 주는 WL 구동회로를 제안하였다. 또한 BL 프리차징 회로에서 delay chain을 제거하여 제어회로의 레이아웃 면적을 줄였다. 메모리 테스트 장비를 이용하여 제작된 94개의 샘플 die를 측정한 결과 5.5V의 프로그램 전압에서 100%의 수율을 얻었다. In this paper, we design a 32-bit eFuse OTP memory for PMICs using MagnaChip's $0.18{\mu}m$ process. We solve a problem of an electrical shortage between an eFuse link and the VSS of a p-substrate in programming by placing an n-well under the eFuse link. Also, we propose a WL driver circuit which activates the RWL (read word-line) or WWL (write word-line) of a dual-port eFuse OTP memory cell selectively when a decoded WERP (WL enable for read or program) signal is inputted to the eFuse OTP memory directly. Furthermore, we reduce the layout area of the control circuit by removing a delay chain in the BL precharging circuit. We'can obtain an yield of 100% at a program voltage of 5.5V on 94 manufactured sample dies when measured with memory tester equipment.

금속산화물 복합분말의 동결건조 및 수소분위기 환원처리에 의한 Cu-Sn 다공체 제조

Freeze drying of a porous Cu-Sn alloy with unidirectionally aligned pore channels was accomplished by using a composite powder of CuO-$SnO_2$ and camphene. Camphene slurries with CuO-$SnO_2$ content of 3, 5 and 10 vol% were prepared by mixing with a small amount of dispersant at $50^{\circ}C$. Freezing of a slurry was done at $-25^{\circ}C$ while the growth direction of the camphene was unidirectionally controlled. Pores were generated subsequently by sublimation of the camphene during drying in air for 48 h. The green bodies were hydrogen-reduced at $650^{\circ}C$ and then were sintered at $650^{\circ}C$ and $750^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. XRD analysis revealed that the CuO-$SnO_2$ powder was completely converted to Cu-Sn alloy without any reaction phases. The sintered samples showed large pores with an average size of above $100{\mu}m$ which were aligned parallel to the camphene growth direction. Also, the internal walls of the large pores had relatively small pores. The size of the large pores decreased with increasing CuO-$SnO_2$ content due to the change of the degree of powder rearrangement in the slurry. The size of the small pores decreased with increase of the sintering temperature from $650^{\circ}C$ to $750^{\circ}C$, while that of the large pores was unchanged. These results suggest that a porous alloy body with aligned large pores can be fabricated by a freeze-drying and hydrogen reduction process using oxide powders.

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.

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.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the aesthetic factors in color combinations of house exteriors in hillside villages, Busan. The so-called 'Hillside renaissance' is a representative urban regeneration project in Busan. The towns in hillside area in Busan have developed colorful sceneries. But all the colorful sceneries are not the same. Each town has own color characters and different aesthetic color effects. This study is to determine the unique aesthetic components in color combination of Gamcheon and Daecheong. This study is based on the traditional color harmony theories. The analysis focuses, inter alia, on Moon-Spencer's 'Aesthetic Measure'. A house exterior color has relations with two neighboring colors in array. And those three colors with next two houses have again each three hue, value and chroma relations. This analysis is first to determine whether each sample color combination is harmonized, and if harmonized, next step to list which aesthetic factor is dominantly contributing to color harmony. And at last, to study the subcategorized sectors of each color components of the hue, value and chroma.

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 $189.625{\mu}m{\times}138.850{\mu}m(=0.0263mm^2)$.

영상카메라와 무선통신 기능을 탑재한 손모양 및 장애물 인식이 가능한 다족 로봇을 독자적으로 설계 및 제작하고 제작한 로봇에 최적화된 보행패턴 알고리즘을 개발하여 적용하였다. 영상센서의 입력화상에 대해 하프변환 (Hough Transform)을 사용하여 물체의 외곽선을 추출하여 장애물을 인식하여 회피하는 실시간 자율보행이 가능한 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 로봇의 목표물 및 목적지 설정을 위하여 미리 학습시킨 피부색의 평균값과 입력영상의 확률거리(Mahalanobis Distance)를 산출하여 손 영역을 검출하고 손가락 개수에 따라 로봇의 명령 제어가 가능하도록 하였다. 장애물 및 손모양 인식에 따른 다족 자율 보행 로봇의 수행 실험 평균 결과 약 96%의 장애물 인식률과 94%의 손 모양 인식률을 보였다. In this paper, multi-legged robot was designed and produced using stable walking pattern algorithm. The robot had embedded camera and wireless communication function and it is possible to recognize both hand posture and obstacles. The algorithm decided moving paths, and recognized and avoided obstacles through Hough Transform using Edge Detection of inputed image from image sensor. The robot can be controlled by hand posture using Mahalanobis Distance and average value of skin's color pixel, which is previously learned in order to decide the destination. The developed system has shown obstacle detection rate of 96% and hand posture recognition rate of 94%.
