The reliability and efficiency of network must be considered in the large scale wireless sensor networks. Broadcast method must be used rather than unicast method to enhance the reliability of networks. In recently proposed GRAB (GRAdient Broadcast) can certainly enhance reliability of networks fy using broadcast but its efficiency regarding using energy of network is low due to using only one sink. Hence, the lifetime of networks is reduced. In the paper we propose the scheme of SMSGB (Selective Multi Sink Gradient Broadcast) which uses single sink of multi-sink networks. The broadcast based SMSGB can secure reliability of large scale wireless sensor networks. The SMSGB can also use the network's energy evenly via multi sink distribution. Our experiments show that using SMSGB was reliable as GRAB and it increased the network's lifetime by 18% than using GRAB.

무선 센서 망에서 다중싱크 이동성에 관련된 연구는 단순히 독립된 단일싱크 이동성 확장에 기인한다. 하지만, 다중 싱크의 경우 싱크 상호간의 이동 결집도에 따라 두 가지 그룹으로 분류될 수 있다: 싱크간의 산재된 싱크그룹(loosely coupled sink group)과 밀집된 싱크그룹(tightly coupled sink group)이다. 전자는 기존 다중싱크 연구에서 가정하고 있는 일반적인 모델이다. 반면, 후자의 예로는 전쟁터에서 동일한 작전을 수행하는 작은 분대 단위의 군인들의 이동성 등이 있다. 본 논문은 밀집된 싱크그룹 이동성을 갖는 다중 싱크를 위한 데이터전달 프로토콜을 제안한다.

The present experiment investigates the effects of pore density f of aluminum foam heat sinks, the jet-to-jet spacing X and the nozzle plate-to-target surface spacing H of 3$\times$3 square impinging arrays on the averaged Nusselt number. The performance of the aluminum foam heat sinks and the rectangular plate heat sink is evaluated in terms of the enhancement factor. /equation omitted/. The multiple impinging jet with X/d=4.0 displays higher Nusselt numbers than single impinging jet for 12.0$\leq$H/d$\leq$20.0. With the variation of the jet-to-jet spacing, the aluminum foam heat sink of 10 PPI show higher Nusselt numbers than the 20 and 40 PPI aluminum foam heat sinks. Further, the 10 PPI aluminum foam heat sink demonstrates 26% higher enhancement factor than the rectangular plate heat sink in the range of 7000$\leq$Re$\leq$11000.

In this paper we propose the QAC-MAC that supports Quality of Service(QoS) and saves energy resources of the sensor node, and hence prolonging the lifetime of the sensor network with multiple sink nodes. Generally, the nodes nearest to the sink node often experience heavy congestion since all data is forwarded toward the sink through those nodes. So this critically effects on the delay-constraint data traffics. QAC-MAC uses a hybrid mechanism that adapts scheduled scheme for medium access and scheduling and unscheduled scheme based on TDMA for no data collision transmission. Generally speaking, characteristics of the real-time traffic with higher priority tends to be bursty and has same destination. QAC-MAC adapts cross-layer concept to rearrange the data transmission order in each sensor node's queue, saves energy consumption by allowing few nodes in data transmission, and prolongs the network lifetime.

A multipath routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provides advantage such as reliability improvement and load balancing by transmitting data through divided paths. For these reasons, existing multipath routing protocols divide path appropriately or create independent paths efficiently. However, when the sink node moves to avoid hotspot problem or satisfy the requirement of the applications, the existing protocols have to reconstruct multipath or exploit foot-print chaining mechanism. As a result, the existing protocols will shorten the lifetime of a network due to excessive energy consumption, and lose the advantage of multipath routing due to the merging of paths. To solve this problem, we propose a multipath creation and maintenance scheme to support the mobile sink node. The proposed protocol can be used to construct local grid structure with restricted area and exploit grid structure for constructing the multipath. The grid structure can also be extended depending on the movement of the sink node. In addition, the multipath can be partially reconstructed to prevent merging paths. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol is superior to the existing protocols in terms of energy efficiency and packet delivery ratio.

기존 single sink 센서 네트워크에서의 모든 센서 노드들은 sink로부터 flooding된 질의(query)를 전송 받은 후 센싱 data를 sink로 보냄에 있어서 목적지인 sink 주변 노드의 traffic 집중에 따른 에너지 소비로 인해 전체 네트워크 수명에 영향을 끼쳤다. 이러한 single sink 방식에서의 주변 노드의overhead와 센싱 데이터를 sink로 전달 할 때의 특정 경로상의 노드들의 잔여 에너지량을 고려하여 데이터를 전송하게 함으로써 전체 네트워크 수명을 연장 할 수 있다.

The injection molding process has been developed as a very important technology for the automotive and electric industries in recent years. But, in the injection molding products with rib-web structures, partial deformation by thermal volumetric shrinkage called Sink Mark, is occurred. In this study, to make explicitly characteristics of sink mechanism, an experimental approach was taken by using multi T-shaped mold cavity and FEM simulation. As a result, pressure on the packing process and the rib thickness are the most effective on sink mark depth. On the other hand, melt temperature has no effect on sink mark depth fot the same rib thickness.

Code division multiple access (CDMA) is one of the promising medium access control scheme for underwater acoustic sensor networks due to its beneficial features such as robustness against frequency-selective fading and high frequency-reuse efficiency. In this paper, we design a closed-loop power control scheme for the underwater CDMA, to adapt time-varying acoustic channel. In the proposed scheme, sink node sends to sensor nodes the associated path loss which is acquired by uplink-channel analysis based on received packets from the sensor nodes. Then, sensor nodes adjust their transmission power in an adaptive manner to time-varying underwater acoustic channel, according to the informations sent by the sink node.

In this paper we investigate the benefits of a data aggregation to prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. To reduce the overload of messages from source node to sink node, data aggregation technique is generally used at intermediate node in path. The DD-G(Directed Diffusion-Greedy) can diminish the consumption of node energy by establishing energy effective single path from source to destination. In this case, the nodes near sink node have some problems, i) overly concentration of energy consumption, ii) increase of message delay time. To solve these problems, we propose a new data aggregation method which consider distribution of network overload, especially at the nodes close to sink node. The result shows that it can save energy and network delay time.

This paper proposes an algorithm that remedy Floyd's the tortoise and the hare algorithm (THA) shortcomings which is specialized in singly linked list (SLL), so this algorithm fails to detect the cycle in undirected graph, digraph, and tree with multiple inputs or outputs. The proposed algorithm simply pruning the source and sink with only one edge using cycle detection of single edge node pruning. As a result of the experimental of various list, undirected graph, digraph, and tree, the proposed algorithm can be successively detect the cycle all of them. Thus, the proposed algorithm has the simplest and fastest advantage in the field of cycle detection.
