An MPEG-2 AAC Huffman decoding method based on the fixed length compacted codeword tables, where each codeword can contain multiple number of Huffman codes, was proposed. The proposed method enhances the searching efficiency by finding multiple symbols in a single search, i.e., a direct memory reading of the compacted codeword table. The memory usage is significantly saved by separately handling the Huffman codes that exceed the length of the compacted codewords. The trade-off relation between the computational complexity and the amount of memory usage was analytically derived to find the proper codeword length of the compacted codewords for the design of MPEG-2 AAC decoder. To validate the proposed algorithm, its performance was experimentally evaluated with an implemented MPEG-2 AAC decoder. The results showed that the computational complexity of the proposed method is reduced to 54% of that of the most up-to-date method.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 소스(Source)에서 Sink까지의 데이터 수집(Data Dissemination)은 정확한 정보를 제공, 구축하는데 있어 중요한 부분 중에 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 필요한 정보만을 신속하고 정확하게 얻기 위하여 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink)을 이용한다. 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink) 대해서 에너지를 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는 라우팅 기법을 소개하고, 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink)가 이동할 때 네트워크의 연결 유지 시간(network lifetime)을 연장시키기 위해 Source에서 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink)까지 데이터 수집(Data Dissemination)을 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법으로 Source와 Mobile Sink까지 가상 좌표를 통해 data dissemination path를 효율적으로 설정하고, 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink)가 다른 좌표로 이동하였을 경우 전 좌표에서 설정되었던 경로와 새로운 좌표에서 설정된 경로를 유지, 수정을 통해 over-hearing 현상을 줄임으로써 효율적으로 에너지를 소비하도록 한다. 제안된 기법은 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 노드들의 수명을 연장시키고, 데이터 전송 시간을 단축시켜 더 빠른 데이터 수집(Data Dissemination)을 수식적으로 결과를 보여 준다.

태양전지는 대표적인 결정질 실리콘 태양전지를 비롯해 다양한 종류가 있지만 모두 입사광의 광량이나 광도에 출력이 의존한다는 점은 공통적이다. 이는 입사광의 에너지를 받아 염료 분자의 여기를 통해 전자를 생산하는 염료감응형 태양전지의 매커니즘에도 적용되는 것이다. 즉, 입사광의 광도나 광량의 값이 클수록 염료감응형 태양전지는 더 높은 출력전력을 생산한다는 의미이다. 본 연구에서는 투명성 때문에 입사광의 투과도가 높은 염료감응형 태양전지의 특성에 착안해 상대전극에 금속박막을 sputtering함으로써 입사광의 반사율을 증가시켜 입사된 광의 에너지를 더 효과적으로 활용할 수 있는 방법을 시도했다. 금속박막의 재료로 니켈, 백금, 은을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 금속박막을 sputtering 하지 않은 경우에 비해 전체적으로 염료감응형 태양전지의 효율이나 전력면에서 개선된 결과를 얻었고 그 중 백금 반사막을 입힌 셀로부터 최대 24.4%의 투과도 감소를 비롯, 11.5%의 출력전력의 증가와 0.4%의 효율 상승을 이끌어냈다.

The wafer surface temperature is an important parameter in the etching process which influences the reaction probabilities of incident species, the vapor pressure of etch products, and the re-deposition of reaction products on feature surfaces. In this study, we investigated all of the effects of substrate temperature on the etch rate of $ZrO_2$ thin film and selectivity of $ZrO_2$ thin film over $SiO_2$ thin film in inductively coupled plasma as functions of $Cl_2$ addition in $BCl_3$/Ar plasma, RF power and dc-bias voltage based on the substrate temperature in range of $10^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$. The elements on the surface were analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

In this study, the plasma etching of the TaN thin film with $O_2/BCl_3$/Ar gas chemistries was investigated. The equipment for the etching was an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) system. The etch rate of the TaN thin film and the selectivity of TaN to $SiO_2$ and PR was studied as a function of the process parameters, including the amount of $O_2$ added, an RF power, a DC-bias voltage and the process pressure. When the gas mixing ratio was $O_2$(3 sccm)/$BCl_3$(6 sccm)/Ar(14 sccm), with the other conditions fixed, the highest etch rate was obtained. As the RF power and the dc-bias voltage were increased, the etch rate of the TaN thin film was increased. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate the chemical states of the surface of the TaN thin film.

A capsular endoscope (CE) for inspection of the large intestine requires a motor for backward navigation against the autonomous travel in the intestine. This study proposes an HF power system for generating a magnetic field and for delivering wireless power to the internal or implanted medical devices. The magnetic field is generated by a wound coil (L) around a wooden frame, and the current is driven to the coil through a resonating capacitor (C). The characteristics of the resonance frequency shifting of the L-C series circuit are analyzed. A stable magnetic field intensity in the field coil is maintained by a specially designed frequency tracking system that automatically follows the L-C resonance frequency. Testing confirmed that the oscillation system tracks well the parameter changes of the electric components caused by the operating conditions or environmental variations.

In this paper, an inkjet-printed capacitive touch pad is proposed. This touch pad detects contacts of human finger by detecting changes in effective capacitance due to electrical impedance of human finger. A flexible, low-cost and disposable paper is used as a substrate. Inkjet printing technology makes the fabrication fast, simple and environmentally friendly. Measured capacitances of the touched and untouched states are in the range of 163 to 182pF and 218 to 272pF, respectively. The differences in the measured capacitance of each state are sufficiently large to recognize that a finger has made contact with touch pad.

In this study, microstructural, dielectric and electrical properties of (Pb$\sub$0.83/) (La$\sub$0.2/Ce$\sub$0.8/)$\sub$0.08/TiO$_3$(PCT) ceramics as a function of MnO$_2$ addition and electrode size variation were investigated for 30 MHz high frequency ceramic resonator application. Grain size was gradually increased according to the increase of MnO$_2$ addition amount. Moreover, the density showed a constant value with increasing MnO$_2$ addition amount. Dielectric constant was decreased with increasing MnO$_2$ addition amount. Curie temperature of all the composition ceramics was nearly constant around 330$^{\circ}C$. The maximum D.R.of 50.5 dB and maximum Q$\sub$mt3/ of 1842 in the 3$\^$rd/ overtone vibration mode were appeared at the composition of 0.3wt% MnO$_2$, respectively.

본 연구에서는 ITO/PEDOT:PSS//PFO:MEH-PPV/LiF/Al 구조를 갖는 고분자 유기발광다이오드를 제작하여 발광 도펀트인 MEH-PPV의 농도에 따른 황색 PLED 소자의 전기 광학적 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. MEH-PPV의 농도를 각각 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 wt% 로 변화시켜 소자를 평가한 결과 9 wt%의 농도에서 가장 우수한 전기 및 광학적 특성을 보였으며, 16 V의 인가전압에서 약 630 cd/$m^2$의 휘도 특성과 256 mA/$cm^2$의 전류밀도 특성이 관찰되었다. 또한 10 wt%의 소자에서는 오히려 낮은 광학적 특성이 관찰되어 9 wt%에서 도펀트의 농도가 포화됨이 관찰되었고, 제작된 소자의 색좌표 (CIE coordiante)는 모든 소자에서 (x, y = 0,49, 0.49)로 거의 동일하게 나타났다.

In this paper, we introduce about a new class to analysis of partial discharge signal based on Fuzzy model. We can early diagnose life of power cable through detection of partial discharge signal. However, partial discharge signal detector is difficult because of partial discharge signal is very non-linear. Also, it is very difficult work that separate partial discharge signal from noise. We constructed partial discharge accumulation detection system that use Labview for detection of non-linear partial discharge signal. And analyzed partial discharge signal that is detected by Labview system utilizing Fuzzy model.
