In the recent years, the companies have manually recorded a production status in a work diary or have mainly used a bar code in order to collect each process's progress status, production performance and quality information in the production and logistics process in real time. But, it requires an additional work because the worker's record must be daily checked or the worker must read it with the bar code scanner. At this time, data's accuracy is decreased owing to the worker's intention or mistake, and it causes the problem of the system's reliability. Accordingly, in order to solve such problem, the companies have introduced RFID which comes into the spotlight in the latest automatic identification field. RFID is an automatic identification technology by radio communication technology that allows us to identify or record information without contacting the corresponding object, and as Gen2 and EPCIS, EPCglobal's standard tag for RFID, have recently been established, it will be introduced to the whole computation industry. This study suggests RFID type Modeling Notation for analyzing logistics flow to improve MES focusing on extended model of EPCIS, and EPCISEvent Template in manufacturing industry.

The prosperity of IT technologies and the removal of restrictions regarding Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, have driven growth in their popularity. However, without a proper solution to the problem of accident avoidance for UAVs, this popularity increases the potential for collisions between UAVs and between UAV and terrain features. These collisions can occur because UAVs to date have flown using radio control or image recognition based autonomous navigation. Therefore, we propose efficient UAV routing schemes to tackle the collision problem using vehicular communication systems. Performance evaluation by computer simulation shows that the proposed methods effectively reduce the collision probability and improve the routing efficiency of the UAV. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms are compatible and can be directly applied with small overhead to the commercial vehicular communication system implementation.

Today, there is in the world-wide cognition about RFID technology due to established standard, EPC(Electronic Product Code). RFID technology will have wide influence over various fields. Especially, RFID technology's advantages will have positive influence on logistics field. We can solve limited various problems presented in SCM by applying RFIB technology. We can have higher cantrol system, better benefits and actual decision information. Many organizations, however, still have hesitated now because RFID technology has not been validated and RFID technology is in early stage. Other problems are employee resistance against new technology and lack of academic empirical research on assimilation RFID technology for organization. Above reasons I mentioned make me study on analysis on assimilation RFID technology decision in SCM field. This study attempts to analyze the assimilation RFID technology factor from previous researches by using AHP. This outcomes of study will be helpful when we assimilate RFID technology in SCM fields.

Recently, a great deal of research is focused on the printed electronics. One of their mainly concerned products is printed RFID tag. RFID technology has attracted researchers and enterprises as a promising method for automatic identification, and they are expected to replace conventional bar codes in inventory tracking and management. The key to successful RFID technology lies in developing low-cost RFID tags and the first step in applying printing technology to RFID systems is to replace antennas that are conventionally produced by etching copper or aluminum. However, due to the printing quality variations, errors, and lower conductivity, the performance of the printed RFID antennas is lower than that of antennas manufactured by conventional etching methods. In this paper, the effect of variations in the printing conditions on the antenna performance is investigated. Three levels for each condition parameter is assumed and effect on the resonant frequency are examined experimentally based on orthogonal array. The most serious factor that affects the resonant frequency of the antenna is the non-uniformity of the edge and the resonant frequency is found to be lower as the non-uniformity increases.

위에서 언급한 바와 같이 계측대상 연약 지반이 대심도, 광역화함에 따라 연약지반 계측의 전반적인 추세는 자동계측 시스템의 사용과 준설ㆍ매립공사 또는 해수면상에서의 공사 특성상 케이블 관리의 어려움을 극복하고자 무선데이터 전송방식의 사용이다. 또한 유지관리의 필요성 증대로 인하여 계측 모니터링, 자동분석 프로그램의 기술도 발전되고 있다. 그러나 아직 국내는 계측에 대한 기술 개발이 미비할 뿐 아니라 계측기술에 대한 인식이 매우 부족하고, 관련법이 정비되지 못하여 계측관련 기술 및 경험이 전무한 영세업체들까지 난립하여 치열한 경쟁을 하는 관계로 기술개발에 대한 투자는 거의 중단된 상태이다. 따라서 정확한 유지관리 계측을 위해서는 대부분 외산기기에 의존할 수밖에 없는 상황이다. 그러나, 현재 국내의 전자통신 기술의 수준을 감안할 때 관련법이 정비되고 체계적인 연구와 투자가 이루어진다면 쉽게 세계적인 수준으로 도약할 수 있으리라 판단된다. 한국지반공학회의 연약지반위원회에서는 2003년 8월 20일 한양대학교 박물관 강당에서 학술세미나를 개최하였다. 본격적인 세미나에 앞서 '연약지반 공학자의 당면문제 및 해결방안'에 관한 주제로 전 연약지반위원회 위원장이셨던 (주)에스코 컨설턴트의 김승렬박사께서 초청강연을 하여 주셨다. 김승렬박사께서는 그 원고의 꼬리말을 다음과 같이 기술하며 마무리하셨다. 국내 연약지반 기술수준의 상황과 우리의 위상을 제고하기 위한 좋은 말씀으로 생각되어 본고에서는 그 부분을 인용하는 것으로 끝을 맺고자 한다. '우리나라의 연약지반 기술수준은 동남아시아 지역의 국가들인 싱가포르, 대만, 태국, 심지어는 베트남에 비해 결코 우월한 위치에 있지 않다. 오히려 많이 낙후되었다고 할 수 있다. 경제규모와 위상과 발전상태에 비추어 보면 실로 부끄러운 일이 아닐 수 없다. 이렇게 된 배경에는 연약지반이 사회의 문제로 대두되는 일이 미미하여 이 분야에 쓸리는 관심이 상대적으로 적은 점이 주원인이라고 볼 수 있다. 연약지반이 기술현장에서 문제로 떠오르기 시작한지도 째 오랜 시간이 경과하였다. 이제 더 이상 우리의 기술수준을 이대로 방치할 수는 없는 시점에 와 있는 것이다. 연약지반에 몸담고 있는 우리 스스로가 위상을 지키려는 노력을 배가하여야 한다. 연약지반 공학자들은 스스로 고급의 데이터를 생산하고 평가하고 예측하는 기법을 활발하게 적용하고 발전시킴으로써 자신들의 위치를 지켜야 할 것이다. Clean-handed-research만을 고집하는 환상에서 깨어나 국외의 변모하는 모습을 빠르게 수용하고 국내의 연약지반 관련 자료를 국외에 널리 알릴 수 있는 위치로 발돋움할 때 연약지반 공학자의 위상도 제고될 것이다.'

In this study, the effects of grouping by extraversion and introversion in paired think-aloud problem solving using a four-stage problem-solving strategy emphasizing planning and checking stages were investigated. Prior to the instructions, the students' extraversion/introversion in three high school classes (N=87) were examined, and those classes were randomly assigned to the homogeneous, the heterogeneous, and the control groups. The test scores of the two treatment groups were significantly higher than those of the control group in the problem-solving ability. However, there were no significant differences in learning difficulty and self-efficacy. Although there were no significant differences between the scores of two treatment groups in the subcategories of the perception of treatment, the test scores of extroverts were significantly higher than those of introverts in the perception of performing listener's role, the preference to problem solving strategy, and the preference to paired think-aloud problem solving.

RFID technologies, which allow collecting, storing, processing, and tracking information by wirelessly recognizing the inherent ID of object through an attached electronic tag, have a variety of application areas. This paper presents a novel carrier leakage suppression RF(CLS-RF) front-end for ultra-high-frequency RF identification reader. The proposed reader CLS-RF front-end structure generates the carrier leakage replica through the nonlinear path that contains limiter. The limiting function only preserves the frequency and phase information of the leakage signal and rejects the amplitude modulated tag signal in the envelope. The carrier leakage replica is then injected into the linear path that contains phase shifter. Therefore, the carrier leakage signal is effectively cancelled out, while not affecting the gain of the desired tag backscattering signal. We experimentally confirm that the prototype shows a significant improvement in the leakage to signal ratio by up to 36 dB in 910 MHz, which is consistent with our simulation results.
