At the beginning of the 20 century the names of deadly childhood diseases were whispered in fear. Everyone knew a family visited by the shadow of tuberculosis, rickets, polio or smallpox. Chickenpox and rubella brought their own forms of misery. Each disease presented in different ways, affected different organs and had distinct prognoses. Many of us will remember the endless cycles of bake sal...

The strain aging and hydrogen embrittlement behavior of two bake hardening (BH) steels with different microstructures were investigated in this study. single-phase BH steel was composed fully ferrite, while the dual-phase consisted ferrite 3 % martensite. index (AI) measured to compare effect microstructure on behavior. As a small amount martensite is present steel, value higher than that AI sh...

This paper demonstrates the viability of wafer-level methods as a means of evaluating device reliability using special reliability test structures and process control monitors (PCM). The results presented illustrate how this methodology can be employed to rapidly and effectively assess the impact of process or material changes on over-all reliability. The wafer-level methodology provides a quic...

Fiber-containing for...

Reinforcing the insulation and airtightness of buildings and the use of building materials containing new chemical substances have caused indoor air quality problems. Use of sorptive building materials along with removal of pollutants, constant ventilation, bake-out, etc. are gaining attention in Korea and Japan as methods for improving such indoor air quality problems. On the other hand, sorpt...

Unsupervized Word Segmentation In this paper, we present an unsupervised segmentation system tested on Mandarine Chinese. Following Harris’s Hypothesis in Kempe (1999) and Tanaka-Ishii (2005) reformulation, we base our work on the Variation of Branching Entropy. We improve on (Jin et Tanaka-Ishii, 2006) by adding normalization and Viterbi-decoding. This enables us to remove most of the threshol...
