In this paper, MNIST classification CNN with zero skipping is implemented. Activation of CNN results in 30% to 40% zero. Since 0 does not affect the MAC operation, skipping 0 through a branch can improve performance. However, at the convolution layer, skipping over a branch causes a performance degradation. Accordingly, in the convolution layer, an operation is skipped by giving a NOP that does not affect the operation. Fully connected layer is skipped through the branch. We have seen performance improvements of about 1.5 times that of existing CNN.

In this paper, in order to enable zero-layer FTP cell using only 5V MOS devices on the basis of $0.13{\mu}m$ BCD process, the tunnel oxide thickness is used as the gate oxide thickness of $125{\AA}$ of the 5V MOS device at 82A. The HDNW layer, which is the default in the BCD process, is used. Thus, the proposed zero layer FTP cell does not require the addition of tunnel oxide and DNW mask. Also, from the viewpoint of memory IP design, a single memory structure which is used only for trimming analog circuit of PMIC chip is used instead of the dual memory structure dividing into designer memory area and user memory area. The start-up circuit of the BGR (Bandgap Reference Voltage) generator circuit is designed to operate in the voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V. On the other hand, when the 64-bit FTP memory IP is powered on, the internal read signal is designed to maintain the initial read data at 00H. The layout size of the 64-bit FTP IP designed using the $0.13-{\mu}m$ Magnachip process .is $485.21{\mu}m{\times}440.665{\mu}m$($=0.214mm^2$).

EPMA and XPS on $Bi_2Sr_2-\chi_LCa_1+\chi_LCu_2O_{8+d}$($\chi_L$ = 0.01, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6) films by LPE method were performed in order to investigate Sr and Ca distributions in SrO- and Ca-layers. It is found that $T_C^{zero}$ carrier concentration and lattice parameter c monotonically decreases with increasing $\chi_L$. Sr and Ca contents in Ca-layer change in proportion to that in melt. On the other hand, in SrO-layer, Ca content strongly depends on Sr content in that layer and not on Ca content in melt. Since deficiency in SrO-layer increases and $T_C^{zero}$ creases with $\chi_L$,t is found that the deficiencies of Sr and Ca atoms in the SrO-layer has a influence on reducing $T_C^{zero}$.

For the effective treatment of aphthous stomatitis, the matrix type mucoadhesive patches containing triamcinolone acetonide have been formulated. The drug layer was obtained by drying the polymer gel which was prepared with carbomer 934P, ammoniomethacrylate copolymer, titanium dioxide and polyethylene glycol 400. The effects of the content of additives on physical characteristics of the polymer gel and the drug layer were evaluated. The addition of carbomer increased the yield point and the zero-shear viscosity of polymer gel as well as the thickness, the water absorption ratio, the adhesive time and $T_{50%}$ of drug layer. The adhesive time and the water absorption ratio of drug layer were also improved by the addition of ammoniomethacrylate copolymer, but the addition of titanium dioxide had decreased the zero-shear viscosity of polymer gel and the adhesive time of drug layer.

The existing evaluation method could not apply the effect of zero span tension generated in the waterproofing layer attached to the surface of the structure at the moment of cracking as the waterproofing layer was constructed in the state where the cracks were formed. The test apparatus developed through this study is expected to be able to conduct tests closer to the environment occurring in actual structures as it is possible to simultaneously create a pressurized (constrained) condition and an environment for zero span tension.

In this paper, the circuit analysis of three-dimensional bandpass filter with transmission zero in multi-layer printed circuit board is presented. The equivalent circuit of bandpass filter is evaluated by microwave network analysis. Compare to the established paper that have configured the circuit model of filter except the effect of distribute element, the proposed model can include the effect. As a result, the multi-layer PCB bandpass filter with transmission zero has designed by extracting mutual capacitance from electrical component inside inductor. The structure size is only $10mm{\times}20mm{\times}1.251mm$. Measured data of the bandpass filter indicate 1.9 dB of insertion loss and 28 dB of return loss at the center frequency of 1.84 GHz, as well as 43 dB attenuation at the refraction frequency of 2.78 GHz.

Hydrogen combustion in modern gas-turbine engine is the cutting edge technology as carbon-free energy conversion system. Flashback of hydrogen flame, however, is inevitable and critical specially for premixed hydrogen combustion. Therefore, this experimental investigation is conducted to understand flashback phenomenon in premixed hydrogen combustion. In order to investigate flashback characteristics in premixed hydrogen (H₂)/air flame, we focus on pressure conditions and nozzle shapes. In general, quenching distance reduces as pressure of combustion chamber increases, causing flashback from boundary layer near wall. The flashback regime for reference and modified candidate configurations can broadly appear with increasing combustion chamber pressure. The later one can improve flashback-resist by compensating flow velocity at wall. Also, improved wall flow velocity profile of suggested contraction nozzle prevents entire flashback but causes local flashback at nozzle exit.

A new quadrilateral mesh generation technique from an existing triangle mesh is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is based on advancing front method and zero-thickness layer. Beginning with an initial triangular mesh, boundary triangular elements are removed and quadrilateral elements with zero thickness are generated. A quality of quadrilateral elements is improved during a mesh smoothing process. Until all initial triangular elements are removed, this procedure is repeated. Sample meshes are constructed to demonstrate the mesh generation capability of proposed algorithm.

Using the reflectivity mode of an optical microscope, we analyzed the optical contrast to identify the layer number of flakes of hexagonal boron nitride on a $SiO_2$/Si substrate. Overall optical contrast in the visible range varies with the thickness of flakes. However, the wavelength of zero contrast exhibits a linear redshift of 0.53 nm per layer, independent of the $SiO_2$ thickness, and increases proportionally with $SiO_2$thickness. Experiments show good agreement with calculations and the results of AFM measurements. These results show that this zero-contrast approach is more accurate and easier than the reflectivity-contrast approach using the overall optical contrast.

Ruthenium (Ru) thin films were grown on thermally-grown $SiO_2$ substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using a sequential supply of four kinds of novel zero-valent Ru precursors, isopropyl-methylbenzene-cyclohexadiene Ru(0) (IMBCHDRu, $C_{16}H_{22}Ru$), ethylbenzen-cyclohexadiene Ru(0) (EBCHDRu, $C_{14}H_{18}Ru$), ethylbenzen-ethyl-cyclohexadiene Ru(0) (EBECHDRu, $C_{16}H_{22}Ru$), and (ethylbenzene)(1,3-butadiene)Ru(0) (EBBDRu, $C_{12}H_{16}Ru$) and molecular oxygen (O2) as a reactant at substrate temperatures ranging from 140 to $350^{\circ}C$. It was shown that little incubation cycles were observed for ALD-Ru processes using these new novel zero-valent Ru precursors, indicating of the improved nucleation as compared to the use of typical higher-valent Ru precursors such as cyclopentadienyl-based Ru (II) or ${\beta}$-diketonate Ru (III) metallorganic precursors. It was also shown that Ru nuclei were formed after very short cycles (only 3 ALD cycles) and the maximum nuclei densities were almost 2 order of magnitude higher than that obtained using higher-valent Ru precursors. The step coverage of ALD-Ru was excellent, around 100% at on a hole-type contact with an ultra-high aspect ratio (~32) and ultra-small trench with an aspect ratio of ~ 4.5 (top-opening diameter: ~ 25 nm). The developed ALD-Ru film was successfully used as a seed layer for Cu electroplating.
