Abstract: The organic TFT includes: a gate electrode; source and drain electrodes insulated from the gate electrode; an organic semiconductor layer insulated from the gate electrode and electrically connected to the source and drain electrodes; an insulating layer insulating the gate electrode from the source and drain electrodes and the organic semiconductor layer; and a self-assembly monolayer (SAM) included between the insulating layer and the organic semiconductor layer. A compound forming the SAM has at least one terminal group selected from the group consisting of an unsubstituted or substituted C s -C 3o  aryl group and an unsubstituted or substituted C 2 -C 30  heteroaryl group. The organic TFT is formed by forming the above-described layers and forming the SAM on the insulating layer before the organic semiconductor layer and source and drain electrodes are formed. Thus, the adhesive force between the organic semiconductor layer and the insulating layer increases and the phase separation of the organic semiconductor material caused by heat can be prevented, thereby obtaining a flat panel display device with improved reliability.

The method comprises operating the exhaust system in a first exhaust state and operating the motor in a first motor state when a speed of the internal combustion engine is below a first engine speed, operating the exhaust system in the first exhaust state and operating the motor in a second motor state where power to drive the motor is reduced from that in the first motor state when the speed of the internal combustion engine is between the first engine speed and a second engine speed which greater the said first engine speed, and operating the exhaust system in a second exhaust state where energy transmitted from the internal combustion engine to the turbine is reduced from that in the first exhaust state and operating the motor in the second motor state when the speed of the internal combustion engine is above the second engine speed. Accordingly, the maximum torque can be increased while maintaining the system efficiency over the entire engine speed range.

Abstract: A Yule-Walker based, low-complexity voice activity detector (VAD) is disclosed. An input signal is typically noisy speech (i.e., corrupted with, for example, babble noise). In one embodiment, a first initialization stage of the VAD computes an occurrence of a silent period within the input signal and the AR parameters. The VAD could accordingly compute a tentative adaptive threshold and output hypothesis H 1  (which means speech is present) during this stage. During the second initialization stage, the VAD generally builds a database of associated values and computes the adaptive threshold accordingly. The second initialization stage could also output tentative VAD decisions based on the tentative threshold computed in the first initialization stage. Finally, the VAD periodically retrains or updates AR parameters, threshold values and/or the database and outputs VAD decisions accordingly.
