Abstract Ion implanter is critical to modern integrated-circuit (IC) manufacturing. requires a long process due low acceleration and high concentration process, which results in productivity becomes bottleneck the semiconductor fabrication. Furthermore, wafer not re-workable if existing error operation either caused by operator or machine. Therefore, it important develop real-time fault detecti...

PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of Korean Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (K-TIRADS) features for distinguishing follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) from follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC). METHODS From January 2013 to July 2016, 46 follicular neoplasms in 45 patients who underwent preoperative thyroid ultrasonography (US) and thyroid surgery were included. T...

In this paper, finite-time cluster synchronization (FTCS) in networks of nonidentical coupled dynamical systems is addressed by introducing a discontinuous interaction rule. This rule overcomes the effect heterogeneous dynamics among nodes. It proven that with proper coupling gain, system converges into kernal space graph Laplacian matrix finite time. Then sufficient conditions for FTCS are pro...

Almost real-world plants are represented by nonlinear systems. Therefore, it is important to consider control schemes to cope with such systems. In this paper, a control method for nonlinear systems is newly proposed. Some local linear models on typical equilibrium points are first designed, followed by linear controllers corresponding to these models. The distances between the query and these ...

Winter warming and its accompanying predicted decrease in snow pack for northern temperate regions may increase frost damage to plants induced by an increase in freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) due to reduced insulation. FTC frequency, minimum temperature during freezing and pre-existing local adaptations potentially all influence site-specific plant responses to future climatic changes. Within a cham...

Action-level (AL) fault tolerance means to accomplish every critical action (output action of a critical task as speciied) successfully in spite of component failures. Therefore, it is aimed for the highest degree of fault tolerance in real-time computer systems. Several basic techniques developed in recent years for realizing action-level fault tolerance in real-time LAN (local area network)-b...
