In this paper a joint detection method for other cell interference cancellation is proposed in the next generation hybrid TD-CDMA mobile communication systems. A joint detection technique, a most characteristic feature of hybrid TD-CDMA mobile communication systems. retrieves users' data in the same time slot simultaneously with the elimination of multiple user interference. Previously a two stage joint detection method was proposed to cancel other cell interference as well as multiple user interference in the target cell. However the previous scheme does not have concrete ways to recognize other cell users who give major interference to the target cell. Thus all users in neighbor other cells has to be jointly detected and it causes huge complexity of the two stage joint detection. In this paper a method is proposed to perform two stage joint detection according to users' interference with the target cell. Performances of the proposed scheme are investigated through simulations and compared to the previous method the proposed method has no performance degradation and also lower the complexity of two stage joint detection significantly.

현재 magnetron sputter는 반도체, LCD 등을 포함하는 microelectronics 산업에서 박막형성을 위한 주요 장비로 널리 쓰이고 있으며, 소자의 고집적화 및 대형화 추세에 따라 그 이용가치는 더욱 증대되고 있다. 본 연구엣는 TFT-LCD용 Color Filter 제조시 ITO박막형성을 위해 사용하는 magnetron sputter 내부의 플라즈마 분포 및 ion kinetic energy에 대한 해석을 실시하였으며, ITO target의 erosion 형상의 원인을 실험결과와 비교하였다. Magnetron sputtering은 target에 가해지는 bias 전압(DC 혹은 RF)에 의해 target과 shield 혹은 target과 substrate 사이에서 생성될 수 잇는 플라즈마를 target 및 부분에 붙어있는 영구자석을 이용하여 target 근처에 집중시키고, target 표면과 플라즈마 사이의 전위차에 의해 가속된 이온들이 target 표면과 충돌하여 이차 전자방출을 일으킴과 동시에 target 표면에서 sputtering을 일으키고, 이들 sputtered 된 중성의 atom 들이 substrate로 날아가 박막을 형성하는 원리로 작동된다. 이때 target에서 방출되는 이차전자들은 영구자석에 의한 자기장 효과에 의해 target 근처에 갇히게 되어 중성 기체분자들과 이온화반응을 통해 플라즈마를 유지하고 그 밀도를 높혀주는 역할을 담당하게 된다. 즉 낮은 압력 및 bias 전압에서도 플라즈마 밀도를 높일수 있고 sputtering 공정이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있다. Magnetron sputtering 현상에 대한 시뮬레이션은 크게 magnetron discharge와 sputtering에 대한 해석 두가지로 나누어 볼 수 있는데, sputtering 현상 자체를 수치묘사할 수 있는 정량적인 모델은 아직까지 명확하게 정립되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 magnetron plasma 자체에 대한 수치해석에 주안점을 두고 아울러 bulk plasma 영역에서 target으로 입사하는 이온들의 입사에너지 및 입사각도 등을 Monte Carlo 방법으로 추적하여 sputtering 현상을 유추해보았다. Sputtering 현상을 살펴보기 위해 magnetron sputter 내 플라즈마 밀도, 전자온도, 특히 target 및 substrate를 충돌하는 이온의 입사에너지 및 입사각 분포등을 계산하는데 hybrid 방법으로 시뮬레이션을 하였다. 즉 ion과 bulk electron에 대해서는 fluid 방식으로 접근하고, 이차전자 운동과 그로 인한 반응관계 및 target으로 입사하는 이온의 에너지와 입사각 분포는 Monte-Carlo 방법으로 처리하였다. 정지기장해석의 경우 상용 S/W인 Vector Fields를 사용하였다. 이를 통해 sputter 내 플라즈마 특성, target으로 입사하는 이온에너지 및 각 분포, 이들이 target erosion 형상에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 또한 이들 결과로부터 간단한 sputtering 모델을 사용하여 target으로부터 sputter된 입자들이 substrate에 부착되는 현상을 Monte-Carlo 방법으로 추적하여 성막특성도 살펴보았다.

We develop a hybrid model which allows the change in electricity generation mix by adding the electricity-sector components of bottom-up model to the conventional CGE model. The electricity sector is represented as a sum of separate generation technologies, each of which has the form of DRTS (Decreasing Returns to Scale) production function, unlike the conventional CGE model. We compare the effects of the 30% emission reduction target using the hybrid model with those using the conventional CGE model. The cost of meeting the target is lower with the hybrid model than the conventional CGE. It is consistent with previous studies in that adding the bottom-up components to the top-down model reduces the cost of emission reduction. In an extra analysis we find that an additional regulation like RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) increases the cost.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid target tracking algorithm which combine the conventional Kalman filter algorithm and the fuzzy neural network. Conventional methods are degraded in the presence of uncertanties and the environmental noise. These problems can be resolved by the proposed method. The training data for the proposed target tracker is obtained by the off-line simulation. Unlike other target trackers usging fuzzy inference system, our method can be easily integrated into the existing system. A numerical simulation is included to show the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed method.

Hybrid fuzzing which combines fuzzing and concolic execution, has proved its ability to achieve higher code coverage and therefore find more bugs. However, current hybrid fuzzers usually suffer from inefficiency and poor scalability when applied to complex, real-world program testing. We observed that the performance bottleneck is the inefficient cooperation between the fuzzer and concolic executor and the slow symbolic emulation. In this paper, we propose a novel solution named EPfuzzer to improve hybrid fuzzing. EPfuzzer implements two key ideas: 1) only the hardest-to-reach branch will be prioritized for concolic execution to avoid generating uninteresting inputs; and 2) only input bytes relevant to the target branch to be flipped will be symbolized to reduce the overhead of the symbolic emulation. With these optimizations, EPfuzzer can be efficiently targeted to the hardest-to-reach branch. We evaluated EPfuzzer with three sets of programs: five real-world applications and two popular benchmarks (LAVA-M and the Google Fuzzer Test Suite). The evaluation results showed that EPfuzzer was much more efficient and scalable than the state-of-the-art concolic execution engine (QSYM). EPfuzzer was able to find more bugs and achieve better code coverage. In addition, we discovered seven previously unknown security bugs in five real-world programs and reported them to the vendors.

With the sub-stepping technique, the numerical analysis in real-time dynamic hybrid testing is split into the response analysis and signal generation tasks. Two target computers that operate in real-time may be assigned to implement these two tasks, respectively, for fully extending the simulation scale of the numerical substructure. In this case, the integration time-step of solving the dynamic response of the numerical substructure can be dozens of times bigger than the sampling time-step of the controller. The time delay between the real and desired feedback forces becomes more striking, which challenges the well-developed delay compensation methods in real-time dynamic hybrid testing. This paper focuses on displacement prediction and force correction for delay compensation in the real-time dynamic hybrid testing with a large integration time-step. A new displacement prediction scheme is proposed based on recently-developed explicit integration algorithms and compared with several commonly-used prediction procedures. The evaluation of its prediction accuracy is carried out theoretically, numerically and experimentally. Results indicate that the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed prediction method are of significance.

In this paper, a hybrid method is proposed to design an air-core superconducting solenoid system for 6 T axial uniform magnetic field using Niobium Titanium (NbTi) superconducting wire. In order to minimize the volume of conductor, the hybrid optimization method including a linear programming and a nonlinear programming was adopted. The feasible space of solenoid is divided by several grids and the magnetic field at target point is approximated by the sum of magnetic field generated by an ideal current loop at the center of each grid. Using the linear programming, a global optimal current distribution in the feasible space can be indicated by non-zero current grids. Furthermore the clusters of the non-zero current grids also give the information of probable solenoids in the feasible space, such as the number, the shape, and so on. Applying these probable solenoids as the initial model, the final practical configuration of solenoids with integer layers can be obtained by the nonlinear programming. The design result illustrates the efficiency and the flexibility of the hybrid method. And this method can also be used for the magnet design which is required the high homogeneity within several ppm (parts per million).

The objective of digital broadcasting has evolved from providing a plain video service to offering a realistic visual experience. Technologies such as 3DTV and UHDTV have been suggested to achieve this new objective by providing an immersive and stereoscopic visual experience. However, owing to the high bandwidth requirements of such services, the broadcasting industry has faced a challenge to find a new transport mechanism for overcoming the bandwidth limitation. The standardization organizations, the Advanced Television Systems Committee, Digital Video Broadcasting, and Telecommunications Technology Association, have been working on the integration of broadcasting and a broadband network (IP) to resolve the bandwidth issue of realistic video services. This paper introduces a frame-level timeline synchronization and transport system target decoder model for providing a stable 3DTV service over a hybrid network. The experimental results indicate that the proposed technologies can be successfully adopted as a reference model in a broadcast-broadband hybrid 3DTV service and other IP-associated hybrid broadcasting services.
