Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for creating an acoustic model. The apparatus includes a binary tree creation unit, an information creation unit, and a binary tree reduction unit. The binary tree creation unit creates a binary tree by repeatedly merging a plurality of Gaussian components for each Hidden Markov Model (HMM) state of an acoustic model based on a distance measure reflecting a variation in likelihood score. The information creation unit creates information about information about the largest size of the acoustic model in accordance with a platform including a speech recognizer. The binary tree reduction unit reduces the binary tree in accordance with the information about the largest size of the acoustic model.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a laundry machine in which a tub is isolated from vibration of a drum, ensuring an increased size of the tub and an increased volume of the tub. This results in an increased capacity of the laundry machine. The increased size of the tub provides a sufficient space between the tub and a cabinet for installation of relevant constituent elements, thus accomplishing a compact interior structure of the laundry machine.
Abstract:
A display driver to output blanking data to a display panel in response to a hardware reset signal applied while image data is being displayed on the display panel. Additionally, a method of operating a display driver includes supplying image data to a display panel, and supplying blanking data to the display panel in response to a reset signal applied while the image data is being supplied to the display panel.
Abstract:
A germanium semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method includes the steps of: forming an isolation layer on a substrate using a shallow trench; forming a silicon-nitride layer on the substrate, and selectively etching the silicon nitride layer to expose source and drain regions; injecting impurities onto a surface of the substrate over the exposed source and drain regions using delta-doping to form a delta-doping layer; selectively growing a silicon germanium layer containing impurities on the delta-doping layer; rapidly annealing the substrate and forming source and drain regions by diffusion of the impurities; depositing an insulating layer on the entire surface of the substrate; etching the insulating layer and forming source and drain contact parts to be in contact with source and drain terminals; depositing metal over the insulating layer having the source and drain contact parts thereon and forming a metal silicide layer; and after forming the silicide layer, forming the source and drain terminals to be in contact with the silicide layer. Accordingly, the source and drain regions having a shallow junction depth may be ensured by forming the source and drain regions through annealing after delta-doping and selectively growing the silicon germanium layer containing high-concentration impurities. Also, the germanium silicide layer is stably formed by the silicon germanium layer grown in the source and drain regions, and thus contact resistance is lowered and driving current of the device is improved.
Abstract:
A driving integrated circuit (IC) in which operations of registers and a method of programming setting data are improved, a display apparatus including the same, and the method of programming setting data of the display apparatus are provided. The display apparatus includes a panel displaying images, a driving IC disposed to drive the display apparatus and including a register block temporarily storing externally provided data, and a non-volatile memory storing setting data setting up operating conditions of the display apparatus. The register block includes one or more registers disposed in series, stores the data during a first interval of acquiring the setting data, and shifts and outputs data stored in the registers during a second interval for programming the acquired setting data to the non-volatile memory.
