This paper describes a standard cell placement strategy which consists of three kconsecutive steps` initial placement, iterative placement improvement, and string placement. In the initial placement step, cell placement was done by solving the linear ordering problem for a one-dimensional layout of standard cells and then zigzaging the resultant linear order width in the chip plane. The iterative placement improvement step is based on the iterative pairwise interchange using the estimated total routing length as a figure-or -merit. The string placement is used to reorder cells and terminals in each etandard cell row such that channel routing in the adjacent channels is not blocked by cyclic constraints and needs fewer routing tracks. The placement program is coded in PASCAL and kimplemented on a VAX-11/750 computer. Experimental results for several examples are included.

A new thermosyphon cooling module (TSCM) has designed, fabricated and tested to cool the multi-chip module consists of a cold plate and an integrated condenser. With an allowable temperature rise of $56^{\circ}C$ on the surface of the heater, the cooling module TSCM can handle a heat flux of about 2.7 $W/cm^2$ using R11 as working fluid. The transient characteristics of the cooling module have been proved to be excellent: that is, when a heat load is applied inside of the system, steady state can be achieved within 10 to 15 minutes. It has been found that the length of the vapor channel between the cold plate and the condenser in addition to the ambient and the condenser temperatures affect the system performance.

Screen-printed source and drain electrodes were used for a spin-coated and inkjet-processed zinc-tin oxide (ZTO) TFTs for the first time. Source and drain were silver nanoparticles. Channel length was patterned using screen printing technology. Different silver nanoinks and process parameters were tested to find optimal source and drain contacts Relatively good electrical properties of a screen-printed inkjet-processed oxide TFT were obtained as follows; a mobility of 1.20 $cm^2$/Vs, an on-off current ratio of $10^6$, a Vth of 5.4 V and a subthreshold swing of 1.5 V/dec.

According to the IMT-2000 specification of 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) and 3GPP2, Turbo codes is selected as a FEC(forward error correction) code for even higher reliable data communication. In 3GPP complied IMT-2000 system, channel coding under consideration is the selective use of convolutional coding and Turbo codes of 1/3 code rate with 4 constraint length. Suggesting a new path metric normalization method, we achieved a low complexity and high performance SOVA decoder for Turbo Codes, Further more, we analyze the decoding performance with respect to update depth and find out the optimal value of it by using computer simulation. Based on the simulation result, we designed a SOVA decoder using VHDL and implemented it into the Altera EPF10K100GC503FPGA.

A free-surface correction(FSC) method is presented to solve the 3-D shallow water equations. Using the mode splitting process, FSC method can simulate shallow water flows under the hydrostatic assumption. For the hydrostatic pressure calculation, the momentum equations are firstly discretized using a semi-implicit scheme over the vertical direction leading to the tri-diagonal matrix systems. A semi-implicit scheme has been adopted to reduce the numerical instability caused by relatively small vertical length scale compare to horizontal one. and, as the free surface correction step the final horizontal velocity fields are corrected after the final surface elevations are obtained. Finally, the vertical final velocity fields can be calculated from the continuity equation. The numerical model is applied to the calculation of the simulation of flow fields in a rectangular open channel with the tidal influence. The comparisons with the analytical solutions show overall good agreements between the numerical results and analytical solutions.

In this paper we study the effects of transmission noise on fixed-length coded wavelet coefficients. We use a posteriori detectors which include inter-bitplane information and determine which transmitted codeword was most likely corrupted into a received erroneous codeword We present a simple method of recovering from these errors once detected and demonstrate our restoration methodology on scalar-quantized wavelet coefficients that have been transmitted across a binary symmetric channel.

A phase-locked Channel-Substrate-Planar(CSP) laser arrays is described. Arrays of emitters with weak coupling are operated in a set of discrete modes determined by the number and spacing of the emitters. The interactions between emitters lead to a splitting of the wave-length and gain which are calculated from the coupling strength. Phase-locked arrays has exhibited to CW output-power as high as 80 m W and the highest order mode will have preferred oscillation. A strong hole burning is occurred at p=30m W. The most stable lasing mode is occurred at element spacing S=3.5\ulcornerm and there is no coupling at S>7 \ulcornerm.

The Partial breakdown (PBD) and complete breakdown (BD) voltage characteristics in a composite insulation system of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) and liquid nitrogen are investigated to find the PBB and BD characteristics in solenoid type high temperature superconducting (HTS) coils at quench. The electrode system used is made from a coaxial spiral coil-to-cylindrical electrode with an insulation barrier and spacers, and is immersed in liquid nitrogen. A heater is mounted inside the coil electrode to generate boiling which occurs on quenched superconducting coils. The experimental results show that: (1) breakdown voltages are affected severely by the risetime of the applied voltage and the PBD inception voltage, (2) two kinds of BD mechanisms are found depending on the shape of the spacer, length of cooling channel and heater power.

A microlens connected to microfluidic channel is fabricated. The microlens is sealed with an elastomeric membrane which deforms by pressure of fluid driven by a syringe pump resulting in the shape change of the microlens. The optical properties of the microlens could be controlled by changing the microlens shape. The microlens system were made of an elastomer, PDMS, using molding from a photoplastic master patterned by UV photolithography. The test results show the optical property of the lens could be made into convex and concave type by applying the fluidic pressure positive and negative.

While a nickel mesh and an expanded nickel sheet are used as current collectors for supporting active anode materials in rechargeable batteries, a porous nickel substrate is studied extensively for its 3-dimensional structure which has high capabilities for active materials and current collection. Optimum plating conditions were studied by polarization measurement. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that both electroless-and electro-plated nickel on an urethane substrate were highly porous and consisted of nearly spherical pores. The diameter and the channel size of the pores were found to be 300~500 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and 50~200$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. The shape of skeleton resembled a triangular prism with length extending about 50~100 $\mu\textrm{m}$.
