We consider a design of a combined quantizer and estimator for distributed systems wherein each node quantizes its measurement without any communication among the nodes and transmits it to a fusion node for estimation. Noting that the quantization partitions minimizing the estimation error are not independently encoded at nodes, we focus on the parameter regions created by the partitions and propose a cluster-based quantization algorithm that iteratively finds a given number of clusters of parameter regions with each region being closer to the corresponding codeword than to the other codewords. We introduce a new metric to determine the distance between codewords and parameter regions. We also discuss that the fusion node can perform an efficient estimation by finding the intersection of the clusters sent from the nodes. We demonstrate through experiments that the proposed design achieves a significant performance gain with a low complexity as compared to the previous designs.

By the speech production model, the first positive peak in a pitch interval of the voiced speech is mainly affected by the glottis and the first formant component, known as a typical energy source of the voiced speech. From these characteristics, the energy parameter can be replaced by the area of the area of the positve peak in a pitch interval, which parameter is generally used for classification of speech signals. In this method, the changed energy parameter is independent of window length applied for analysis, and the pitch can be extracted smultaneously. Furthermore, the energy can be extracted in the pitch period unit.

This paper proposes an automatic generation technology of test case based on API in source code for software's quality improvement. The proposed technology is comprised of four processes which are analyzing source code by using the Doxygen open source tool, defining API specification by using analyzed results, creating test design, generating a test case by adapting Pairwise test technology. Analyzing source code by using the Doxygen open source tool is the phase in which API information in source code such as the API name, input parameter and return parameter are extracted. Defined API specification by using analyzed results is the phase where API informations, which is needed to generate test case, are defined as a form of database by SQLite database on the basis of extracted API information. Creating test design is the phase in which the scenario is designed in order to be composed as database by defining threshold of input and return parameters and setting limitations based on the defined API. Generating a test case by adapting Pairwise test technique is the phase where real test cases are created and changed into database by adapting Pairwise technique on the base of test design information. To evaluate the efficiency of proposed technology, the research was conducted by begin compared to specification based test case creation. The result shows wider test coverage which means the more cases were created in the similar duration of time. The reduction of manpower and time for developing products is expected by changing the process of quality improving in software developing from man-powered handwork system into automatic test case generation based on API of source code.

The most favourable possibilities to observe the phenomena of gravitational lensing are the high amplification events and the time delay between the images. These effects provide us the information to determine the Hubble parameter and the matter distribution in the universe. The image properties due to micro-lensing also is of an importance to find out the size and the structure of the source.

This paper presents a method to retarget a source motion to the rig-space parameter for a target character that can be equipped with a complex rig structure as used in traditional animation pipelines. Our solution allows the animators to edit the retargeted motion easily and intuitively as they can work with the same rig parameters that have been used for keyframe animation. To acheive this, we analyze the correspondence between the source motion space and the target rig-space, followed by performing non-linear optimization for the motion retargeting to target rig-space. We observed the general workflow practiced by animators and apply this process to the optimization step.

This paper presents the extraction and analysis of small-signal parameters of tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) by using TCAD device simulation. The channel lengths ($L_G$) of the simulated devices varies from 50 nm to 100 nm. The parameter extraction for TFETs have been performed by quasi-static small-signal model of conventional MOSFETs. The small-signal parameters of TFETs with different channel lengths were extracted according to gate bias voltage. The $L_G$-dependency of the effective gate resistance, transconductance, source-drain conductance, and gate capacitance are different with those of conventional MOSFET. The $f_T$ of TFETs is inverely proportional not to $L_G{^2}$ but to $L_G$.

In this paper, noise parameters for high frequency modeling of dual-gate FET are extracted and analyzed. To extract thermal noise parameter of dual gate, noise characteristics are measured by changing input impedance of noise source using Tuner, and the influence of pad parasitic elements are subtracted using open and short dummy structure. Measured results indicated that the dual-gate FET is improved the noise figure by 0.2dB compared with conventional cascode structure FET at 5GHz, and it confirmed that the noise figure has dropped due to reduction of capacitances between the drain and source, gate and drain by simulation and analysis of small-signal parameters.

In the development of 3D package, through silicon via (TSV) formation technology by using deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) is one of the key processes. We performed the Bosch process, which consists of sequentially alternating the etch and passivation steps using $SF_6$ with $O_2$ and $C_4F_8$ plasma, respectively. We investigated the effect of changing variables on vias: the gas flow time, the ratio of $O_2$ gas, source and bias power, and process time. Each parameter plays a critical role in obtaining a specified via profile. Analysis of via profiles shows that the gas flow time is the most critical process parameter. A high source power accelerated more etchant species fluorine ions toward the silicon wafer and improved their directionality. With $O_2$ gas addition, there is an optimized condition to form the desired vertical interconnection. Overall, the etching rate decreased when the process time was longer.

We constrain cosmological parameters by combining three different power spectra measured from galaxy clustering, galaxy-galaxy lensing, and cosmic shear using the Deep Lens Survey (DLS). Two lens bins (centered at z~0.27 and 0.54) and two source bins (centered at z~0.64, and 1.1) containing more than one million galaxies are selected to measure the power spectra. We re-calibrate the initial photo-z estimation of the lens bins by matching with SHELS and PRIMUS and confirm its fidelity by measuring a cross-correlation between the bins. We also check the reliability of the lensing signals through the null tests, lens-source flipping and cross shear measurement. Residual systematic errors from photometric redshift and shear calibration uncertainties are marginalized over in the nested sampling during our parameter constraint process. For the flat LCDM model, we determine S_8=sigma_8(Omega_m/0.3)^0.5=0.832+-0.028, which is in great agreement with the Planck data. We also verify that the two independent constraints from the cosmic shear and the galaxy clustering+galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements are consistent with each other. To address baryonic feedback effects on small scales, we marginalize over a baryonic feedback parameter, which we are able to constrain with the DLS data alone and more tightly when combined with Planck data. The constrained value hints at the possibility that the AGN feedback in the current OWLS simulations might not be strong enough.
