In this paper, we found surface shapes are affected by several parameters of RIE, such as RF power, pressure, temp, and process times. The reflectance of pyramid and half sphere structures show differences among shapes, size, height, and depth of those structures. We made about $1{\mu}m$ pyramid and half sphere shapes of silicon surface with RIE. For comparing the reflectance, pyramid and half sphere structures are fabricated with same height. Pyramid structure cell shows higher cell efficiency of 12.5% by 1.1% than one of half sphere structure of 11.4%. The light absorption is more increased through the pyramid structure than half sphere structure.

Antireflective pyramid arrays can be readily obtained via anisotropic etching in alkaline solution (KOH, NaOH), which is widely used in crystalline-Si (c-Si) solar cells. The periodic inverted pyramid arrays show even lower light reflectivity because of their superior light-trapping characteristics. Since this inverted pyramidal structures are mostly achieved using very complex techniques such as photolithograpy and laser processes requiring extra costs, here, we demonstrate the Cu-nanoparticle assisted chemical etching processes to make the inverted pyramidal arrays without the need of photolithography. We have mainly controlled the concentration of $Cu(NO_3)_2$, HF, $H_2O_2$ and temperature as well as time factors that affecting the reaction. Optimal inverted pyramid structure was obtained through reaction parameters control. The reflectance of inverted pyramid arrays showed < 10% over 400 to 1100 nm wavelength range while showing 15~20% in random pyramid arrays.

This paper presents laplacian pyramid vector quantization (LPVQ) approach in which a vector quantizer is used to encode a series of quasi-bandpassed images generated by the laplacian pyramid processing. Performance of the LPVQ is compared to those of DCT domain methods at the same bit rate via computer simulations. Experimental results show that the PSNR's (peak signal-to-noise ratio) for the LPVQ are almost the same as those of the DCT based methods. However, subjective study indicates the LPVQ obtains slightly higher scores than the DCT based techniques.

Well known is the directed self-avoiding walk model on the square lattice with reflecting and absorbing barriers. We consider two models, namely, a pyramid self-avoiding polygon model and a top and bottom pyramid polygon model, as subcollections of the model. We derive explicit formulas for the number of 2N-step polygons in these models.

In this paper, we analyze the Hamiltonian property of Pyramid graphs. We prove that it is always possible to construct a Hamiltonian cycle of length $(4^N-1)/3$ by applying the proposed algorithm to construct series of cycle expansion operations into two adjacent cycles in the Pyramid graph of height N.

In this thesis, the extension of the pyramid is contemplated through the pyramids presented in textbook $\ll$Math 6-1${\gg}$ published according to the 2009 revised curriculum. In textbook $\ll$Math 6-1${\gg}$, the pyramid is defined by presenting rough sketches of typical pyramids in an extensional definition method. This contrasts with the method of defining the pyramid by using such an extensional definition and a connotative definition method that reveals common properties of all pyramids. In textbook $\ll$Math 6-1${\gg}$, right pyramids whose base can not be regarded as regular polygons, and oblique pyramids are hardly presented. Nonetheless, $\ll$Math 6-1 Teacher's Guide Book${\gg}$ says that we have no choice but to handle oblique pyramids. In this thesis, based on these results, the following implications are presented as conclusions. First, there should be enough discussion on the extension of the pyramid in elementary school mathematics, and agreement to the results. In particular, such discussions are highly necessary in revising the curriculum. Second, in the process of realizing the intention of the curriculum in the textbook through the teacher's guidebook, the extension of the pyramid must be consistent. Third, there should be some consensus about the knowledge that elementary teachers should know about the pyramid.

The Pyramid-Technique is based on mapping n-dimensional space data into one-dimensional data and expressing it as B-tree ; and by solving the problem of search time complexity the pyramid technique also prevents the effect \"phenomenon of dimensional curse\" which is caused by treatment of hypercube range query in n-dimensional data space. The Spherical Pyramid-Technique applies the pyramid method’s space division strategy, uses spherical range query and improves the search performance to make it suitable for similarity search. However, depending on the size of data and change in dimensions, the two above technique demonstrate significantly inferior search performance for data sizes greater than one million and dimensions greater than sixteen. In this paper, we propose a new index-structured PdR-Tree to improve the search performance for high dimensional data such as multimedia data. Test results using simulation data as well as real data demonstrate that PdR-Tree surpasses both the Pyramid-Technique and Spherical Pyramid-Technique in terms of search performance.

본 연구는 실리콘 표면에 형성된 pyramid 구조의 크기와 각도, aspect ratio에 따른 반사도, 흡수율 최적화에 관한 연구이다. Atlas device simulation을 이용하여 표면에 형성된 pyramid의 각도는 $54.74^{\circ}$에서 $71.56^{\circ}$ 가변하였으며 pyramid height은 5에서 $20{\mu}m$ 크기로 가변하여 반사도와 흡수율 변화와 상관관계를 분석하였다. 특히 표면 반사도 감소와 실리콘 기판의 흡수율 증가에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 표면구조의 인자는 pyramid 각도로 나타났으며, 또한 표면의 pyramid 각도 증가에 따라 표면적도 증가하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구의 표면 구조의 형상에 따른 반사도와 흡수율 최적화 및 표면적 증가에 대한 결과를 태양전지에 적용할 시 단락전류 향상을 통한 효율 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, A progressive coding of mean difference pyramid by Hadamard transform of the difference between two successive pyramid levels has been studied. A block adaptive bit allocation method based on ac energy of each sub-block has been proposed, which efficiently reduces the final distortion in the progressive transmission of image parameters. In our scheme, the dc energy equals the sum of the quantization errors of the Hadamard transform coefficients at previous level. Therefore proposed allocation method includes the estimation of dc energy at each pyramid level. Computer simulation results show some improvements in terms of MSE and picture quality over the conventional fixed allocation scheme.
