Recently, with the miniaturization and high integration of semiconductor chips, the bump bridge phenomenon caused by fine pitches is drawing attention as a problem. Accordingly, Cu pillar bump, which can minimize the bump bridge phenomenon, is widely applied in the semiconductor package industry for fine pitch applications. When exposed to a high-temperature environment, the thickness of the intermetallic compound (IMC) formed at the joint interface increases, and at the same time, Kirkendall void is formed and grown inside some IMC/Cu and IMC interfaces. Therefore, it is important to control the excessive growth of IMC and the formation and growth of Kirkendall voids because they weaken the mechanical reliability of the joints. Therefore, in this study, isothermal aging evaluation of Cu pillar bump joints with a CS (Cu+ Sn-1.8Ag Solder) structure was performed and the corresponding results was reported.

Recently, from a global perspective, the use of small unmanned aerial vehicles in terrorism and warfare is increasing, and the need for anti-drone shooting training targeting small UAVs is increasing. However, in reality, there are many cases in Korea where anti-drone shooting training is restricted, due to complaints such as noise. In this paper, we describe the development and testing of an electric-powered direct strike type high-speed, low-noise small aerial target drone. To achieve the flight speed and endurance required for shooting training, target drone sizing was performed, and aerodynamic performance analysis was conducted using a CFD program. Based on the performance analysis, the motor propulsion system was selected and a variable pitch propeller system was designed, and performance tests were performed on a ground test rig. Finally, the target flight speed, flight time, and flight noise level were confirmed through flight tests.

This paper deals with attitude control design for a thruster system which is mainly used as a control system of space vehicles. Attitude controllers are designed based on a simple blowing-down thruster system structure. In order to consider severe time-delay effects of the thruster system during controller design, the control design problem is defined based on the corresponding limit cycle analysis. Optimal roll controllers and optimal pitch/yaw controllers are resulted from co-evolutionary optimum design processes for each flight phase. The control performances are verified by computer simulations.

The UTP cable has been widely used, recently it is being developed for use in the UHF frequency band. One important characteristic of the UTP cable is NEXT. This research is to develop a pitch selection technique for an UTP cable which leads to a satisfactory NEXT. The transmission line model involving mutual inductances and capacitances between line pairs is used, and the simulation was carried out for frequencies from 1 MHz to 600 MHz. With respect to the worst margin of the NEXT for a Cat. 6 cable the simulation and measurement results show a good agreement.

핵융합 플라즈마에서의 고속이온은 NBI 및 ICRF에 의한 이온 가열과 핵융합 반응에 의하여 발생하며, 핵융합 반응률을 크게 하고 일차적으로 그 에너지를 전자에게 전달하는 특성을 갖는다. 따라서 핵융합을 지향하는 플라즈마에서는 그 성능을 나타내는 지표이기도 하면서, 맥스웰 분포를 갖는 열화 플라즈마의 수송특성을 크게 변화 시킨다. 또한 알펜파 등의 파동 또는 불안정성을 유발시키며 이로 인한 플라즈마 손실은 국지적인 일차벽의 가열을 유발할 수 있는 것으로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 기하학적 구조를 갖는 토카막에서의 NBI 가열에 의한 고속이온 발생과 위상공간에서의 수송 및 손실을 시간 의존적인 Fokker-Planck 방정식을 수치적으로 풀어서, 위치에 따른 고속이온 분포의 변화를 계산한다. NBI 입사의 기하학적 모델에서는 각 계산 위치에서의 피치각 변화와 stagnation point의 변화에 의한 영향을 고려하며, 일반적인 고속이온의 각종 모멘트 뿐 아니라 즉발 이온 손실률을 계산에 포함한다. 해석된 고속이온 분포는 중성입자 검출기에서 측정한 KSTAR 플라즈마의 고속이온 에너지 분포와 비교한다. 차후에는 본 연구에서 사용한 Fokker-Planck 출동연산자에 고주파 가열에 의한 고속이온발생 항을 추가하여 ICRF 가열에 의한 효과를 예측할 수 있도록 할 것이다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 text-to-speech(TTS) 합성방식이 미리 정해진 화자에 의한 단조로운 합성음을 가지는 문제를 극복하기 위하여, 임의의 화자의 음색을 표현할 수 있는 화자 변환(Voice Conversion) 기능을 구현하였다. 구현된 방식은 화자의 음향공간을 Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM)로 모델링하여 연속 확률 분포에 따른 화자 변환을 가능케 했다. 원시화자(source)와 목적화자(target)간의 특징 벡터의 joint density function을 이용하여 목적화자의 음향공간 특징벡터와 변환된 벡터간의 제곱오류를 최소화하는 변환 함수를 구하였으며, 구해진 변환 함수로 벡터 mapping에 의한 스펙트럼 포락선을 변환했다. 운율 변환은 음성 신호를 정현파 모델에 의해서 모델링하고, 분석된 운율 정보(피치, 지속 시간)는 평균값을 고려해서 변환했다. 성능 평가를 위해서 VQ mapping 방법을 함께 구현하여 각각의 정규화된 켑스트럼 거리를 구해서 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 합성시에는 ABS-OLA 기반의 정현파 모델링 방식을 채택함으로써 자연스러운 합성음을 생성할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 제주방언의 억양 패턴에 대하여 실험음성학적 분석을 하였다. 이전의 제주방언에 대한 음성 음운론적 연구는 거의 분절음 연구에 국한되었다. 억양 패턴 분석은 K-ToBI 레이블링 시스템에서 사용하는 성조기호를 사용하여 수행되었다 제주 방언의 운율구는 서울말, 전남방언과 같이 억양구와, 그 하위 층에 악센트구 두 개로 이루어져 있다. 본 연구는 크게 억양구의 경계성조 유형 연구와 악센트구의 성조 연구를 수행하였다. 억양구 경계성조로는 서울말과 같이 $L\%,\;H\%$를 기본으로 하여 $HL\%,\;LHL\%,\;HLHL\%,\;LHLHL\%,\;LH\%,\;HLH\%,\;LHLH\%,\;HLTLH\%$ 등의 유형과 그 외 제주방언만의 유형 또한 관찰되었다. 악센트구의 성조패턴 연구는 음절수와 억양구내 악센트구의 위치를 변수로 하여 살펴보았다. 제주방언의 악센트구 기본 성조는 'LH'로서 마지막 음절에서 ?'가 실현되는 패턴이다. 음절수가 많아지면 마지막 둘째음절에 아주 완만한 피치상승을 보이긴 하나 'H'로 기술하기에는 부적절하였다 유성음화의 범위는 서울방언에서와 같이 악센트구로 나타났다. 강자음이 악센트구 초에 올 때 ?'성조로 시작이 되었으며 피험자에 따라 'H'성조가 첫째음절에서만 실현되고 바로 하강하던가 또는 둘째음절까지 지속되는 것이 관찰되었다.

Code Excited Linear Prediction(CELP) speech coders exhibit good performance at data rates as low as 4800bps. The major drawback to CELP type paper, a comparative performance study of three pitch searching algorithms for the CELP vocoder was conducted. For each of the algorithms, a standard pitch searching algorithm was used by the sequential pitch searching algorithm that was implimented in the QCELP vocoder. The algorithms used in this study were 1) using the skip table(TABLE), 2) using the symmetrical property of the autocorrelation(SYMMT), and 3) using the preprocessing autocorrelation(PREPC). Performance scores are presented for each of the three pitch searching algorithms based on computation speed and on pitch prediction error.

Code excited linear prediction speech coders exhibit good performance at data rates as low as 4800bps. But the major drawback to CELP type coders is their large computational requirements. Therefore, in this paper a comparative performance study of three pitch searching algorithms for the CELP vocoder was conducted. For each of the algorithms, a standard pitch searching algorithm was used by the full pitch searching algorithm that was implimented in the QCELP vocoder. The algorithms used in this study is to reduce the pitch searching time 1) using the skip table, 2) using the symmetrical property of the autocorrelation , and 3) using the preprocessing autocorrelation, 4) using the positive autocorrelation, 5) using the preliminary pitch. Performance scores are presented for each of the five pitch searching algorithms based on computation speed and on pitch prediction error.

The major drawback in the Code Excited Linear Prediction type vocoders is their large computational requirements. In this paper, a simple method is proposed to reduce the pitch searching time in the pitch filter almost without degradation of quality. On the basis of the observational regularity of the correlation function of speech, only the limited numbers of pitch lags are considered to be an optimum pitch. This is done by skipping the negative envelope side of the correlation function and limiting the maximum number of lags to be considered preliminarily. By doing so, we can reduce the computational time of pitch searching more than 51% with negligible quality degradation. In addition to that, by combining that method with the conventional delta search technique, we can reduce the computational time requirements more than 60% without serious lowering the speech quality in segmental SNR measure compared to the conventional full search method.
