    The end of the illusion: an epitaph for Jean Baudrillard

    The end of the illusion: an epitaph to Jean Baudrillard is a micro requiem, fulfilling a desire to pay tribute to this great French thinker since his death in 2007. I had written an orchestral work in 2003 that borrowed its title from his 1992 book the illusion of the end. This new, inverted title work was conceived as a cascade that broadens out at its centre to evolve into a dark heraldic fanfare, only to complete its collapse into the low registers of the instrument. The fanfare returns momentarily as a brief coda before a final sustained dramatic nest, that strips its harmony back note by note, leaving only an echo carillon hanging in the air. This is the second work I have written for this instrument, and I hope to write more for it throughout the coming years. With its valves and piping and extraordinary registers, it really is the pulsing mechanical heart of Melbourne

    [[abstract]]台灣的半導體產業在政府全力培植下,經歷多年的發展經驗,已建立完整的垂直分工體系,其中IC封裝測試的產值為全球第一名,可謂台灣之光。A公司為全球IC封裝測試公司,其發展過程是整個台灣封測業經營成功的縮影,目前在產業中有舉足輕重的 地位,因此未來的發展策略勢必影響整個IC封測業的生態。本研究為探討IC測試產業的競爭狀況,並以A公司作為研究對象,了解其如何創造競爭優勢及目前所面臨的機會及威脅,並嘗試爲其提供可行的策略建議。由於策略較難量化,因此本研究採用技術性的研究法,了解機台的差異,並接著運用競爭策略探討其經營優勢。[[abstract]]Taiwan's semiconductor industry under government efforts to cultivate after years of development experience has established a complete system of vertical division of labor in which the output value of IC packaging and testing of the first global Taiwan can be described as light A company for the global IC packaging and testing company its development process throughout Taiwan IC packaging and testing industry the epitome of business success there are important in the industry Status so the future development strategy is bound to affect the ecology of the whole IC packaging and testing industry This study investigate competition IC testing industry and company A as the research object to learn how to create competitive advantages and its opportunities and threats currently facing and try to provide practical policy recommendations Because the policy is difficult to quantify this study uses technical study to understand the differences of the machine and then use its operating advantages Competitive Strategy Study

    A 23-μW Keyword Spotting IC With Ring-Oscillator-Based Time-Domain Feature Extraction

    No full text
    This article presents the first keyword spotting (KWS) IC that uses a ring-oscillator-based time-domain processing technique for its analog feature extractor (FEx). Its extensive usage of time-encoding schemes allows the analog audio signal to be processed in a fully time-domain manner except for the voltage-to-time conversion stage of the analog front end. Benefiting from fundamental building blocks based on digital logic gates, it offers better technology scalability compared to conventional voltage-domain designs. Fabricated in a 65-nm CMOS process, the prototyped KWS IC occupies 2.03 mm 2 and dissipates 23- μW\mu \text{W} power consumption, including analog FEx and digital neural network classifier. The 16-channel time-domain FEx achieves a 54.89-dB dynamic range for 16-ms frame shift size while consuming 9.3 μW\mu \text{W}. The measurement result verifies that the proposed IC performs a 12-class KWS task on the Google Speech Command dataset (GSCD) with >86% accuracy and 12.4-ms latency.
