In this paper, we proposed a mixed-mode s-parameter measurement system for measuring the performance of twisted pairs. A twisted pair is a balanced type component, its characteristics can not be directly measured using network analyzer, which is generally implemented as a unbalanced type. It is possible to convert between balanced signal and unbalanced signal by using a balun but it restricts the frequency range of the measurement system. The proposed system measures the performance of twisted pairs by measuring mixed-mode s-parameters using a 4-port vector network analyzer and a designed fixture, without using a balun. We measured the performance of a commercial Ethernet cable and compared with the results which measured by using baluns. The results showed that the proposed system is capable of measuring the performance of twisted pairs.

Based on mixed-mode transient analyses utilizing a 2-dimensional device simulator, we have suggested the methodology to analyze the HBM ESD phenomena in CMOS chips utilizing NMOS transistors for ESD protection, and have analyzes the HBM discharge mechanisms in detail. Also the second breakdown characteristics in the protection device have been successfully simulated based on mixed-mode simulations, to explain the discharge mechanisms leading to device failure. To analyze the effects of the device structure changes on the discharge characteristics, we have compared the results of DC analyses and mixed-mode transient analyses, and have discussed about more robust designs of NMOS transistor structures against HBM ESD based on the analyses.

Mixed-criticality systems consist of components with different criticality. Recently, components are categorized depending on criticality by ISO 26262 standard and DO-178B standard in automotive and avionic domain. Existing mixed-criticality system research achieved efficient and safe scheduling through system-level criticality mode. The drawback of these approaches is performance degradation of low-criticality tasks on high-criticality mode. Task-level criticality mode is one method to address the problem and improve the performance of low-critical tasks. In this paper, we propose probabilistic performance metric for the approach. In simulation results with probabilistic performance metric, we showed that our approach has better performance than the existing approaches.

This paper is concerned with the design automation of the sequential machines. The operations of sequential machine can be diveded into two types such as synchronous and asynchronous sequential machine and their realization is treated in separate mode. But, in order to integrate logic circuits in high volume, mixed mode sequential machine uses common circuitry that consists of gates and flip-flops. Proposed sequential machine can be designed by several method, which are hard-wired implementation, firmware realization by PLA and ROM. And then onr example shows the differnces among three design mothods. Finally, computer algorithm(called MINIPLA) is discussed for various application of mixed-mode sequential machine.

The analytical realization of uncoupled system was introduced in this study using times series and its spectrum analysis. The ARMAX spectra of time series methods were compared with the conventional FFT spectrum. Also, the response of second order system uncoupled was solved using the Runge-Kutta Gill method. In this numerical analysis, the displacement, velocity and acceleration were calculated. The displacement response among them was used for the power spectrum analysis. The ARMAX algorithm in time series was proved to be appropriate for the mode estimation and spectrum analysis. Using the separate response of first and second mode, each modes were calculated separately and the response of mixed modes was also analyzed for the mode estimation using several time series methods.

In this research, three-point bending tests were performed using a rectangular frozen specimen with various fine contents and notch offset distance from the center of the specimen to investigate the fracture characteristic of the frozen sand. Based on the test results, mode I fracture toughness was calculated, and mixed-mode (mode I + II) fracture characteristics were investigated using the fracture energy which was calculated until the maximum point of the load-displacement curve. As the fine contents increase, the peak load and mode I fracture toughness increase until 10% fine contents. Furthermore, as the notch offset distance increases, the fracture energy required for crack start also increases due to the increase in mode II load at the crack tip.

In this study, biodegradation rate of Arabian light crude oil by mixed cultures of selected petroleum-degraders was determined. Their modes of hydrocarbon uptake were then observed to determine whether there are differences in biodegradation rate by the mixed cultures. By the mixed cultures of petroleum-degraders having same modes of hydrocarbon uptake, such as strain US1 and K1 (using pseudo-solubilized hydrocarbons by a biosurfactants), K2-2 and P1(using hydrocarbons by direct contact), CL 180 and IC-10 (mixed type of uptake modes), the biodegradation rates of aliphatics in the crude oil were increased more than those by their pure cultures, about 40%, 25% and 20%, respectively. Biodegradation rate of strain KH3-2 (using only water- dissolved hydrocarbons) was increased by mixed cultures with strain K1, CL180 or IC-10 possessing high emulsifying activity. However, the biodegradation rate of the crude oil was decreased about 20%-40% by the mixed cultures of petroleum-degraders having different mode of hydrocarbon uptake, such as addition of strain US1 or K1 in the cultures of K2-2 or P1. Biosurfactants produced by US1 or K1 seems to enhance the emulsification of crude oil in aqueous phase but inhibit the attachment of K2-2 or P1 to crude oil. As same phenomena, the addition to Triton X-100 into the culture of strain US1, K1, CL180, IC-10 or KH3-2 increased the biodegradation rate, but the addition in the culture of strain K2-2 or P1 decreased the biodegradation rate. The mixed culture made of CL180, IC-10 and KH3-2 degraded 61.5% of aliphatics and 69% of aromatics in 3% (v/v) of Arabian light crude oil added.

This paper presents a mixed-mode type ER(electro-rheological) engine mount, and its vibration control performance for a passenger vehicle is presented. The field-dependent yield stress of a transfo rmer oil-based ER fluid is empirically distilled in both shear and flow modes. This is then incorporated with the governing equation of motion of the proposed mixed-mode(shear mode plus flow mode) type engine mount. The damping force is analyzed with respect to the intensity of the electric field and design parameters such as electrode gap. Subsequently, the ER engine mount which is equivalent to the conventional hydraulic engine mount in terms of the damping level is designed and manufactured. Both computer simulation and experimental test are undertaken in order to evaluate vibration isolation performance. In addition, this performance is compared with that of the conventional hydraulic engine mount.

Based on the theory of space perception, this paper concludes that the mixed reality application under the theory of space perception has a three-level definition of visual hierarchy and then analyzes the component elements of interface design and the classification mode of interface windows. Next, carry out case practice research through this theoretical definition, and finally conduct the survey and analysis of questionnaire data, verifying that the mixed reality interface design based on spatial perception theory meets the user experience elements of Usability, Availability, and Attraction. The conclusion is that the constituent elements of interface design and the window classification mode can provide specific and practical design specifications for mixed reality interface design, reduce the interaction cost of completing tasks, reduce users' cognitive load, and make it easier for users to receive interface information

In this work, we show that the excessive lattice heating problem due to parasitic pnp transistor action in the diode electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device in the diode input protection circuit, which is favorably used in CMOS RF ICs, can be solved by adopting a symmetrical cathode structure. To explain how the recipe works, we construct an equivalent circuit for input human-body model (HBM) test environment of a CMOS chip equipped with the diode protection circuit, and execute mixed-mode transient simulations utilizing a 2-dimensional device simulator. We attempt an in-depth comparison study by varying device structures to suggest valuable design guidelines in designing the protection diodes connected to the $V_{DD}$ and $V_{SS}$ buses. Even though this work is based on mixed-mode simulations utilizing device and circuit simulators, the analysis given in this work clearly explain the mechanism involved, which cannot be done by measurements.
