Abstract: Provided is a bit-width optimization method for performing floating point to fixed point conversion (FFC) by at least one processor. The bit-width optimization method includes receiving a first floating-point value which represents a minimum value among floating-point values to be converted, receiving a second floating-point value which represents a maximum value among the floating-point values to be converted, receiving a maximum permissible error rate for performing FFC, calculating a minimum bit width of fixed-point notation which satisfies the maximum permissible error rate on the basis of the first floating-point value, the second floating-point value, and the maximum permissible error rate, and calculating a scale factor for FFC on the basis of the second floating-point value and the calculated minimum bit width.

Abstract: The present invention provides a curb for measuring the flood depth in an urban area, more particularly, to a curb for measuring the flood depth in an urban area, which is configured to demarcate the boundary between a vehicular roadway and a pedestrian sidewalk to measure the flood depth so that the flood depth in the urban area can be measured without the necessity for additional installation of a separate structure. In particular, the present invention has an effect in that an air contact type water level gauge is installed in a first space of a main body to measure the flood depth, i.e., the level of flooding water based on the internal air pressure of a cylindrical tube so that a pressure sensor is not brought into close contact with the flooding water to prevent corrosion of the pressure sensor, thereby reducing the maintenance and repair costs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to bacterial ghosts, and more particularly, to a method of preparing bacterial ghosts from gram-positive bacteria by hydrochloric acid treatment. Specifically, according to the present invention, when gram-positive bacteria were cultured after being treated with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of hydrochloric acid capable of inhibiting colony formation of gram-positive bacteria, bacterial ghosts were effectively formed. Since the formed bacterial ghosts have no intracellular proteins or DNA while preserving cell wall integrity, the risk of side effects such as secondary infection caused by bacterial growth when the bacterial ghosts are administered to humans is low. Therefore, the bacterial ghosts prepared from gram-positive bacteria according to the method of the present invention may be effectively used as a vaccine or a foreign antigen carrier for preventing or treating gram-positive bacterial infection.

Abstract: A method of forming a transistor is provided. An upper portion of a substrate is partially removed forming a trench. An isolation layer partially fills the trench, forming active patterns of the substrate. The isolation layer has a void therein. A photoresist pattern is formed on the active patterns and the isolation layer. The active patterns and the isolation layer are partially removed using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask, thus forming a recess. A plasma treatment process is performed, removing the photoresist pattern and filling the void. A gate insulation layer and a gate electrode fill the recess.

Abstract: Methods of forming integrated circuit capacitors include the steps of forming a first electrically insulating layer having a conductive plug therein, on a semiconductor substrate, and then forming second and third electrically insulating layers of different materials on the first electrically insulating layer. A contact hole is then formed to extend through the second and third electrically insulating layers and expose the conductive plug. Next, a conductive layer is formed in the contact hole and on the third electrically insulating layer. A step is then performed to planarize the conductive layer to define a U-shaped electrode in the contact hole. The third electrically insulating layer is then etched-back to expose upper portions of outer sidewalls of the U-shaped electrode, using the second electrically insulating layer as an etch stop layer. However, the second electrically insulating layer is not removed but is left to act as a supporting layer for the U-shaped electrode.

The end point detection window has a body of aluminum or an aluminum alloy through which a hole extends to provide a path along which light generated during the etching process can pass from the process chamber, and a capping section coupled to a light outlet of the body. The capping section is of quartz for allowing the light passing through the hole in the body to be transmitted out of the process chamber.
