High-speed device is essential to optoelectric IC for optical storage system such as CD-ROM, DVD, and to ADC for high-speed communication system. This paper represents the BiCMOS process which contains high-speed SAVEN bipolar transistor and analyzes the frequency and switching characteristics of it briefly. Finally, to prove that the SAVEN device is adequate for high-speed system, latched comparator operating at 500MHz is designed with the SPICE parameter extracted from BiCMOS device simulation.

Recently, the number of students to choose to study in Australia has been increasing significantly. The purpose of this study is to examine how Korean primary school children perceive their own English language learning and cultural adaptation in Australia. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 34 Korean children aged 8-13 who were attending primary schools in Brisbane, Queensland. The study results show that they made diverse efforts to learn English language and culture in Australia, such as making English-speaking friends, watching TV/video/DVD, reading English books, and studying with a foreign tutor. Their English listening and writing abilities were thought to be improved most, followed by speaking, reading and cultural understanding after studying in Australia. The subjects were mostly satisfied with their study and life in Australia but they had difficulties with communicating in English, homesickness, foods, weather, insects, and discrimination. In particular, they had problems with understanding classes conducted all in English and participating in the classroom activities due to their low level of English ability and understanding of Australian classroom culture. The findings of this study have pedagogical implications for educators both in Australia and Korea.

Railway signal facilities are very important because they are directly related to safe train operation. By the result of the unification of signal and station control, station control staffs have been having a hard time to grasp the knowledge about signal facilities and the fault restoration ability in a short term since the existing manuals were only made with text materials. To meet the growing demand to educate the maintenance work in actual and effective way, the maintenance manuals and periodic procedures was developed in the forms of video clips and animations with quality contents onto a DVD enabling not only to improve the maintenance works for signal facilities but to contribute budget saving and profit generating.

Hot embossing lithography(HEL) has the production advantage of comparatively few process step, simple operation, a relatively low cost for embossing tools(Si), and high replication accuracy for small features. In this paper, we considered the nano-molding characteristic according to molding parameters(temperature, pressure, times, etc) and induced a optimal molding condition using HEL. High precision nano-patter master with various shapes were designed and manufactured using the DRIE(Deep Reactive ion Etching), LPCVD(Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) and thermal oxidation process, and we investigated the molding characteristic of DVD and Blu-ray nickel stamp. We induced flow behaviors of polymer, rheology by shapes and sizes of the pattern through various molding experiments. Finally, with achieving nano-structure molding with high aspect ratio, we will secure a basic technology about the molding of large-area nano-pattern media.

최근 게임, 멀티미디어 콘텐츠, 가상현실 둥을 제공하는 멀티미디어 장치에서 2 개의 스피커나 헤드폰을 이용하여 3 차원 입체 음향효과를 내고자 하는 가상 입체음향 기법에 관한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다 가상 입체음향 기법 중 다채널 입체음향을 이용하여 입체음향효과를 가진 2 채널 출력을 구성하는 방식의 대표적인 것으로는 입체음향 정위효과를 내는 HRTF(Head Related Transfer Function)이 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 전달함수와 입력 신호의 컨볼루션(Convolution)방법을 이용함으로써 계산량이 복잡하여 실시간 구현에 많은 제약을 주고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다채널 입력으로 현재의 DVD, HDTV 등에서 사용되는 Dolby-Digital 복호화기를 사용하여 입체음향 시스템을 구현할 경우 가상입체음향 신호처리에 사용되는 HRTF 계수를 MDCT 계수로 구성하여 이를 통한 가상입체음향 신호처리방식의 계산량 감소방법에 대하여 설명하고 있다.

A circuit design technique to reduce the propagation time is proposed for the analog parallel processing-based Viterbi decoder. The analog Viterbi decoder implements the function of the conventional digital Viterbi decoder utilizing the analog parallel processing circuit technology. The decoder is for the PR(1.2,2.1) signal of DVD. The benefits are low power consumption and less silicon occupation. In this paper, a propagation time reduction technique is proposed by minimizing the parasitic capacitance components in the layout design of the analog Viterbi decoder. The propagation time reduction effect of the proposed technique has been shown via HSPICE simulation.

오늘날 오디오 포맷의 대부분은 마스킹 효과를 이용한 손실 압축 기법(lossy coding)이다. 그러나 고음질을 요구하는 매니아가 있고 DVD등 차세대 멀티미디어 포맷으로 무손실 오디오 압축기법이 요구되고 있고 이를 위해 일반적인 무손실 데이터 압축방법인 PkZip 등으로 압축할 경우 압축비가 약 1.07:1 밖에 되지 않으므로 적절하지 못하여, 디지털 오디오 데이터를 위한 무손실 압축 알고리즘의 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 플래이밍(Framing), 상호상관제거(intrachannel decorrelation), 엔트로피 코딩(Entropy coding) 의 세가지 단계로 구성되는 일반적인 오디오 무손실 압축 기법을 효율적으로 압축하기 위해 wavelet transform을 적용한 알고리즘은 제안한다.

In the present work, graphene powder was synthesized by laser scribing method. The resultant flexible light-scribed graphene is very appropriate for use in micro-supercapacitors. The effect of the laser scribing process in reducing graphene oxide (GO) was investigated. GO was synthesized using a chemical mixture of GO solution; then, it was coated onto a LightScribe DVD disk and laser scribed to reduce GO and create laser-scribed graphene (LSG). The CV curves of pristine rGO at various scan rates showed that the ultimate product possesses the ability to store energy at the supercapacitor level. Charge-discharge curves of pristine rGO at two different current densities indicated that the specific capacitance ($C_m$) increases due to the reduction of the discharge current density. Finally, the long-term charge-discharge stability of the LSG was plotted and indicates that the specific capacitance decreases very slightly from its primary capacitance of ${\sim}10F\;cm^{-3}$ and that the cyclic stability is favorable over 1000 cycles.
