$CuInSe_2$계 태양전지는 동시 증발공정으로 최고 효율 약 20%를 얻었으나, 동시 증발법은 대면적화 및 조성 균일도 조절에 어려움이 있다. 이에 반해 스퍼터링 및 셀렌화 공정은 동시 증발법에 비해 대면적의 조성 조절 및 생산속도가 뻐른 장점이 있다. 이에 따라 스퍼터링 및 셀렌화 공정을 통해 CIS 태양전지를 양산화 하려는 시도가 전세계적으로 활발히 진행중이다. 그러나 연구소 및 학교를 중심으로 연구가 진행되어 박막 증착 공정 및 단계별 박막 특성이 많은 부분 밝혀진 동시 증발공정에 비해, 몇몇 기업을 중심으로 연구가 진행되고 있는 스퍼터링/셀렌화 공정의 경우 공정 조건 및 이에 따른 박막 특성/형성기구에 대한 정보가 거의 없는 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 CuIn 및 Cu 타겟을 동시 스퍼터링하여 전구체를 만든후 이를 셀렌화하여 CIS 박막을 성장시키고, 특히 열처리 단계별 상분석을 통해 CIS 형성기구를 고찰하고자 하였다.

In this paper, we study real time AEC (acoustic echo canceller) based on NLMS adaptive filter. Proposed method improves conversation quality by enhancing the performance of AEC during double talk section and reduces the power consumption by controling the adaption operation of NLMS adaptive filter. Proposed method examines the convergence of the NLMS adaptive filter, stores the estimated echo path and chooses operation of NLMS adaptive filter. Furthermore if double talk is detected, the proposed AEC utilizes the stored echo path optionally considering missed double talk time. When the proposed AEC is used, the performance of the AEC is enhanced although the simple double talk detector is used and the power consumption of the AEC is reduced.

A major concern in Concurrent Engineering is the control and management of workload As a general rule, leveling the peak of workload in a period is difficult because concurrent processing is comprised of various processed, including overlapping, paralleling and looping and so on. Therefore workload management with resource constraints is so beneficial that effective methods to analyze design process are momentous. This paper presents a procedure to transform the IDEF3 process model into the precedence network model for more useful assessment of the process. This procedure is expected to facilitate resolving resource constrained scheduling problems more systematically in Concurrent Engineering environment.

In this paper, we propose a double talk and noise robust acoustic echo canceler for hands-free telephony applications. The proposed system includes a double-talk detection method that detects the double-talk durations, which uses covariance between microphone input signa and estimated microphone input signal. And proposed adaptive algorithm for estimating acoustic echo path, uses normalized auto-covariance matrix of input signal with multiplication of residual error power and projection order of AP(affine projeciton) algorithm. It is confirmed that the proposed algorithm shows better performance from acoustic interference cancellation (AIC) viewpoint in double talk and noisy environments.

Acoustic Echo Cancellation(m) is very active research topic having many applications like teleconference and hands-free communication and it employs Double Talk Detector(DTD) to indicate whether the near-end speaker is active or not. However. the DTD is very sensitive to the variation of acoustical environment and it sometimes provides wrong information about the near-end speaker. In this paper, we are focusing on the development of robust DTD algorithm which is a basic building block for reliable AEC system. The proposed AEC system consists of delayless subband AEC and narrow-band DTD. Delayless subband AEC has proven to have excellent performance of echo cancellation with a low complexity and high convergence speed. In addition, it solves the signal delay problem in the existing subband AEC. On the other hand, the proposed narrowband DTD is operating on low frequency subband. It can take most advantages from the narrow subband such as a low computational complexity due to the down-sampling and the reliable DTD decision making procedure because of the low-frequency nature of the subband signal. From the simulation results of the proposed narrowband DTD and wideband DTD, we confirm that the proposed DTD outperforms the wideband DTD in a sense of removing possible false decision making about the near-end speaker activity.

TV 프로그램 전송 방식이 아날로그에서 디지털로 바뀌며, TV방송의 다채널화 현상이 일어나고 있다. 동시에 많은 채널을 시청하며, 정보를 습득하고자 하는 바쁜 현대인들에게 두 개 이상의 채널을 동시에 시청하면서, 이를 녹화하거나 모니터링 하고자 하는 Need가 점점 높아져 가고 있다. 두 개의 튜너를 이용하여 두 채널의 방송을 동시에 시청 할 수 있는 PIP(Picture in Picture-동시화면) 기능은 이러한 사용자 욕구를 해소함과 동시에, 프리미엄 TV의 기술적 특성으로 자리잡고 있다. 현재 LG전자 TV의 경우, PIP관련 기능은 5가지로 [동시화면] [부채널+] [부채널 -] [부화면 입력][주부전환] 이 있다. 이러한 PIP관련 기능은 리모컨에서 부가기능 버튼으로 동작하고 있으며, 리모컨 레이아웃의 복잡성을 증대시키는 큰 원인이 되고 있다. 특히 관련 버튼이 숨김 버튼으로 배치되어 있어 사용자는 버튼을 찾지 못하고 오히려TV OSD 메뉴 상에서 PIP기능을 찾는 오류를 범하고 있어 직관적인 사용성을 제안하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 리모컨에서 PIP관련 버튼을 줄임과 동시에 PIP 사용성을 높일 수 있는 개선안을 제안하고자 하였다. 연구 방법은 PIP 사용행태 분석을 통한 문제점 파악 후 2가지 개선안을 도출한 후 각각의 개선안에 대한 사용성 검증을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 기존의 리모컨 버튼으로 접근하는 것이 사용성이 더 좋을 것이라는 예상을 깨고, PIP기능 사용 시 OSD메뉴로 접근하는 것이 수행시간이 줄어들었음을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 TV라는 매체의 특성상 사용자는 TV화면에서 기능 수행 후 Feedback을 기대하며, TV화면 상에서 동작하는 것에 더 익숙하기 때문이다. 이는 향후 새로운 TV기능 구현 시 중요한 Impact로 작용할 수 있다. 그 이유는 리모컨 버튼을 활용하여 모든 기능을 수행하는 것보다, 특정 기능은 OSD상에서 구현하는 것이 TV의 직관적인 사용 Scene에 더 적합한 것을 파악할 수 있었기 때문이다.

This paper describes an acoustic echo canceller with double-talk using BSS(: Blind Signal Separation) based on the geometric concept. The acoustic echo canceller may be deteriorated or diverged during the double-talk period. So we use the blind signal separation to detect the double talking by separating the near-end speech signal from the mixed microphone signal. In the closed reverberation environment, the blind signal separation extracts the near-end signal from unknown signals with the transformation and rotation based on the geometric concept. By this method, the acoustic echo canceller operates irrespective of double-talking. We verified performances of the proposed acoustic echo canceller by computer simulations. The results show that the acoustic echo canceller with this algorithm detects the double-talk periods thoroughly, and operates stably in the normal state without diverging of coefficients after ending the double-talking.

Tunnels that have recently been constructed are characterized by longer length than ever before and furthermore they frequently go through the ground area with poor conditions such as fractured zones. If ground strength is weak, plastic deformation of tunnel occurs, and occasionally a big fall may be brought about. Up to now, the construction work of tunneling has been executed as a sequential method placing the lining concrete after completion of excavation. Such a method requires a long time and much money to complete the tunnel. It is hard to ensure the stability of tunnel if tunnel is left undone for a long time after excavation in fracture zones or plastic grounds. For this reason, we tried to take simultaneous construction of tunnel excavation and lining concrete in order to not only shorten construction schedule but also stabilize the tunnel at the highly fractures zone as soon as possible. As preliminary consideration for simultaneous construction, in-situ tests are performed to calculate the isolation distance over which blasting vibration does not influence the strength of lining concrete. Improvement of ling form, placing method of concrete, ventilation using a dust collector, together with equipment arrangement, was made to assure the simultaneous construction work.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of using barley seeder attached to rice harvest combine that could be used in rice harvesting and barley seeding simultaneously on the growth characteristics of barley and labor-saving efficiency. In developed seeding system, burley seeding was earlier about 5 days than in the conventional system, because of conducting rice Harvesting and barley seeding simultaneously. The germination of barley seed after seeding was protected from drought damage by the rice straw covering. Among the growth characteristics of barley using developed seeding system, the number of spikes per m$^2$ was lower than that of conventional system, but others showed longer culm length, hove kernel numbers per spike and heavier 1,000 kernel weight than those of conventional system. Developed seeding system resulted in about 57% labor-saving efficiency compared with conventional system. The cost of whole works from seeding to harvest of barley was saved about 8% compared with conventional system. A total of income increased about 16% than that of conventional system.

In this paper, we propose a new double talk detection algorithm which detects near end signals with less degradation, tracking echo path variation of echo canceler simultaneously. Our method makes use of a cross-correlation between channel input signals and estimated error signals and a normalized cross-correlation between microphone input signals and estimated error signals. By combing thresholds for these cross-correlations pertinently, this algorithm discriminates between variation of echo path and occurrence of double talk. These two cross-correlation are used to detect double talk periods, tracking echo path variation. During the detection period, adjustive adaptive filter is ceased to prevent the echo canceler from being disturbed by near end signals. Also, the echo canceler will still be kept on for tracking any variation in echo path. Through computer simulation results, it was confirmed that the proposed algorithm shows better performance, tracking echo path variation and detecting the double talk periods, than the Ye et. al's and the NLMS algorithms from ERLE viewpoint.
