This paper presents the resonance characteristics of the ZnO-based FBAR devices with multilayered Bragg reflectors with Cr adhesion layer inserted between $SiO_2$ and W layers. Due to the post- annealing, the return loss ($S_{11}$) and series/parallel quality factor are significantly improved when compared with the non-post annealing. This post-annealing method seems to be a very efficient way to improve the resonance characteristics of FBAR devices.

Highly stable organic electroluminescent devices have been achieved by treatment of thermal and electrical annealing. We investigate here the performance of theses devices at temperatures and pulse aging. We also demonstrate improved device stability due to thermal and electrical treatment, and the brightness decays at no treatment, thermal only, electrical only and thermal/electrical treatment were 86.6%, 89.5%, 93.0%, and 96.7%, respectively, in the after 150 h of operation driven with an initial luminance of $1,000\;cd/m^2$.

Improvement in MOS fabrication technology have led to high-density high-performance integrated circuits with MOSFET channel lengths in the sub-micron range. For devices of the size, transistor characteristics become highly sensitive to effective channel length. We propose a new approach to extract the effective channel length of MOSFET by Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) method. Gate-to-Source, Drain capacitance ( $C_{gsd}$) are measured and the effective channel length can be extracted. In addition, compared to l/$\beta$ method and Terada method, which has been point out that it fails to extract the accurate effective channel length of the devices, we prove that our approach still works well for the devices with down to sub-micron regime.e.

In this paper, we present methods to efficiently parallelize iterative 3D image reconstruction by exploiting trigeneous devices (three different types of device) at the same time: a CPU, an integrated GPU, and a discrete GPU. We first present a technique that exploits single instruction multiple data (SIMD) architectures in GPUs. Then, we propose a performance estimation model, based on which we can easily find the optimal data partitioning on trigeneous devices. We found that the performance significantly varies by up to 6.23 times, depending on how SIMD units in GPUs are accessed. Then, by using trigeneous devices and the proposed estimation models, we achieve optimal partitioning and throughput, which corresponds to a 9.4% further improvement, compared to discrete GPU-only execution.

The paper presents some methods to improve characteristics of film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices. The FBAR devices were fabricated on Bragg reflectors. Thermal treatments were done by sintering and/or annealing processes. The measurement showed a considerable improvement of return loss (S$_{11}$) and quality factor (Q$_{s/p}$). These thermal techniques seem very promising for enhancing FBAR resonance performance.

The degradation characteristics of MgO additive for the ZnO ceramic devices fabricated by the standard ceramic techniques are investigated in this study. These devices were made from basic Matsuoka's composition. Especially, MgO was added to analyze the degradation characteristics and devices were sintered in air at $1200^{\circ}C$. The conditions of DC degradation test were $115\pm2^{\circ}C$ for 12h. Using XRD and SEM, the phase and microstructure of samples were analyzed, respectively. The elemental analysis in the microstructures was performed by EDS, E-J analysis was used to determine $\alpha$. Frequency analysis was accomplished to understand the relationship between $R_G$ and $R_B$ with the electric stress at the equivalent circuit.

Recently, the number of traffic accidents on trunk roads tends to decrease due to the performance improvement of passenger vehicles. In the commuter rush hour of morning and evening, vehicles via residential road increases without going along trunk roads. Therefore, there are many traffic accidents of pedestrians (or bicycles) and vehicles on residential roads. In order to safeguard residents against traffic accidents, traffic calming devices (TCD), such as chicane, speed hump, and school zone, etc. have been introduced. Investigating these effects repeatedly is not easy since many times and efforts are required, such as observed at the place actually. In this paper, the effects of TCDs in residential areas, such as noise, speed, and emission of a vehicle, using Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) are examined. As a result, it is found that it is possible to reduce the speed of the vehicle by TCD, and the level of noise at the location behind TCD becomes higher than the level of noise at the location of TCD implemented.

For small capacity rectifier circuits such as these for consumer electronics and appliances, capacitor input type rectifier circuits are generally used. Consequently, various harmonics generated within the power system become a serious problem. Various studies of this effect have been presented previously. However, most of these employ switching devices, such as FET and the like. The absence of switching devices mattes systems more tolerant to over-load and brings low radio noise benefits. We propose a power factor correction scheme using a LC resonant in commercial frequency without switching devices. In this method It makes a sinusoidal wave by widening conduction period using the current resonance in commercial frequency, Hence, the harmonic characteristics can be significantly improved, where the lower order harmonics, such as the fifth and seventh orders are much reduced The result are confirmed by the theoretical and experimental implementations.

Recently, ultra-low latency flash storage devices such as Z-SSD and Optane SSD were introduced with the significant technological improvement in the storage devices which provide much faster response time than today's other NVMe SSDs. With such ultra-low latency, $10{\mu}s$, storage devices the cost of context switch could be an overhead during interrupt-driven I/O completion process. As an interrupt-driven I/O completion process could bring an interrupt handling overhead, polling or hybrid-polling for the I/O completion is known to perform better. In this paper, we analyze tail latency problem in a polling process caused by process scheduling in data center environment where multiple applications run simultaneously under one system and we introduce our adaptive polling selection technique which dynamically selects efficient processing method between two techniques according to the system's conditions.
