  • Comprehensive study on the control system design for a RTP process has been conducted. The purpose of the control system is to maintain maximum temperature uniformity across the silicon wafer achieving precise tracking for various reference trajectories. The study has been carried out in two stages: thermal balance modeling on the basis of a semi-empirical radiation model, and optimal iterative learning controller design on the basis of a linear state space model. First, we found through steady state radiation modeling that the fourth power of wafer temperatures, lamp powers, and the fourth power of chamber wall temperature are related by an emissivity-independent linear equation. Next, for control of the MIMO system, a state space modeland LQG-based two-stage batch control technique was derived and employed to reduce the heavy computational demand in the original two-stage batch control technique. By accommodating the first result, a linear state space model for the controller design was identified between the lamp powers and the fourth power of wafer temperatures as inputs and outputs, respectively. The control system was applied to an experimental RTP equipment. As a consequence, great uniformity improvement could be attained over the entire time horizon compared to the original multi-loop PID control. In addition, controller implementation was standardized and facilitated by completely eliminating the tedious and lengthy control tuning trial.

  • This paper validates a system identification method using mathematical optimization using sea trial measurement data as a benchmark. A fast time simulation tool, SIMOPT, and a Rheinmetall Defence mathematical model have been adopted to conduct initial hydrodynamic coefficient estimation and simulate ship modelling. Calibration for the environmental effect of sea trial measurement and sensitivity analysis have been carried out to enable a simple and efficient optimization process. The optimization process consists of three steps, and each step controls different coefficients according to the corresponding manoeuvre. Optimization result of Step 1, an optimization for coefficient on x-axis, was similar compared to values applying an empirical regression formulae by Clarke and Norrbin, which is used for SIMOPT. Results of Steps 2 and 3, which are for linear coefficients and nonlinear coefficients, respectively, was differ from the calculation results of the method by Clarke and Norrbin. A comparison for ship trajectory of simulation results from the benchmark and optimization results indicated that the suggested stepwise optimization method enables a coefficient tuning in a mathematical way.

  • Quantum dot nanocrystals(QDs) have been emerged as next generation materials in the field of energy harvesting, sensor, and light emitting because of their compatibility with solution process and controllable energy band gap. Especially, characteristics of color tuning and color purity make it possible for QDs to be used photoluminescence materials. Photoluminescence devices with QDs have been researched for a long time. Photoluminescence quantum yield(PL QY) is important factor that defines the performance of Photoluminescence devices. One of the ways to achieve better PL QY is ligand modification. If ligands are changed to proper electron donating group, electrons can be confined in the core which results in enhancement of PL QY. Because of the reason, short ligands are preferred for enhancing PL QY. Thiophenol-based ligands are shorter than typical alkyl chain ligands. In this study, the effect of thiophenol-based ligands with different functional groups are investigated. Four different types of thiophenol-based organic materials are used as organic capping ligand. QDs with bare thiophenol and fluorothiophenol show better quantum yield compared to oleic acid.

  • In order to solve the difficulties of parameter settings in SA algorithm, an improved practical SA algorithm is proposed by employing the threading techniques, appropriate software structures, and dynamic adjustments of temperature parameters. Threads provide a mechanism to realize a parallel processing under a disperse environment by controlling the flux of internal information of an application. Thread services divide a process by multiple processes leading to parallel processing of information to access common data. Therefore, efficient search is achieved by multiple search processes, different initial conditions, and automatic temperature adjustments. The proposed are methods are evaluated, for three types of Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) (random-tour, fractal-tour, and TSPLIB test data)are used for the performance evaluation. The experimental results show that the computational time is 5% decreased comparing to conventional SA algorithm, furthermore there is no need for manual parameter settings. These results also demonstrate that the proposed method is applicable to real-world vehicle routing problems.

  • With a rapid development in the area of micro and ultra precision technology, the micro surface machining of small size parts are explosively increased. Especially, to improve efficiency of various beams in lens and reflector, non-rotational symmetric form and several mm level heights changeable surface can be machined at a time. These geometric complex 3D surface cannot be machined by general short stroke FTS. The long stroke FTS if firmly needed to move directly several mm and have nm level positioning accuracy for the complex surface form. The long stroke FTS used linear motors to drive moving unit long and fine, aero static bearings to decrease friction and moving errors in guide way, optical linear scale with nm level resolution to measure position of FTS. Furthermore, to increase the performance of acceleration of FTS, the light material, such as AL is used for the structure and the high stiffness box type structure is selected. In this paper, the genetic algorithm approach is described to determine a set of design parameters for auto tuning. The authors have attempted to model the design problem with the objective of minimizing the error, such as variable pattern change. This method can give the better alternative than existing other method.

  • In this paper, a wideband DDS module covering the frequency range from 0.5 to 1.1 GHz was designed and fabricated. The clock frequency of the DDS was selected 2.4 GHz in order for 600 MHz output bandwidth. Multiple spurious cancelling signals having same amplitude and $180^{\circ}$ phase difference compared to the spurious were created at the additional path and added to the output signal within DDS for the spurious performance improvement. The fabricated DDS module showed better spurious performance than the commercial DDS one more than 10 dB and frequency tuning time was 340 ns below.

  • In this paper, we proposed an enhanced Max-Min neural network by auto-tuning of learning rate using fuzzy control method. For the reduction of training time required in the competition stage, the method was proposed that arbitrates dynamically the learning rate by applying the numbers of the accuracy and the inaccuracy to the input of the fuzzy control system. The experiments using real concrete crack images showed that the enhanced Max-Min neural network was effective in the recognition of direction of the extracted cracks.

  • 단일 코어 프로세스의 성능 향상은 전력 소모, 발열 등의 이유로 한계에 달했다. 이에 대한 대안으로 멀티 코어가 등장했으며 매니 코어 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 이렇듯 멀티 코어 환경이 보편화됨에 따라 병렬 프로그래밍의 중요성이 더욱 커졌다. 한편, 순수 함수형 언어 Haskell은 부수효과가 없고 다양한 병렬화 도구를 지원함으로써 다가오는 병렬 프로그래밍 시대에 적합한 언어라 할 수 있다. 이때 Haskell 병렬 프로그램의 성능은 메모리 재사용(Garbage Collection) 시간에 큰 영향을 받는다. 그래서 Haskell 병렬 프로그램의 성능 향상, 분석을 위한 메모리 프로파일링 도구가 필요하다. 이미 Haskell이 제공하는 메모리 프로파일링 도구로 ghc-gc-tune이 있지만 실행 속도 측면에서 개선이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 분할 정복법을 이용해서 매 단계마다 탐색 영역을 4분의 1로 줄이도록 ghc-gc-tune을 개선했다. 개선된 ghc-gc-tune을 극대 독립 집합 프로그램과 K-means 프로그램에 적용한 결과, 평균 98%의 정확도로 실행 시간을 평균 7.78배 단축했다.

  • The bootstrap is a method of computational inference that simulates the creation of new data by resampling from a single data set. We propose a new job for the bootstrap: generating inputs from one historical trace using Threshold Bootstrap. In this regard, the most important quality of bootstrap samples is that they be functionally indistinguishable from independent samples of the same stochastic process. We describe a quantitative measure of difference between two time series, and demonstrate the sensitivity of this measure for discriminating between two data generating processes. Utilizing this distance measure for the task of generating inputs, we show a way of tuning the bootstrap using a single observed trace. This application of the threshold bootstrap will be a powerful tool for Monte Carlo simulation. Monte Carlo simulation analysis relies on built-in input generators. These generators make unrealistic assumptions about independence and marginal distributions. The alternative source of inputs, historical trace data, though realistic by definition, provides only a single input stream for simulation. One benefit of our method would be expanding the number of inputs achieving reality by driving system models with actual historical input series. Another benefit might be the automatic generation of lifelike scenarios for the field of finance.
