An RFID system has been widely applied in many areas over the initial SCM application. In the literature enormous RFID applications in healthcare are documented to improve patient safety, patient/provider logistics, and the efficiency of collecting data. Based on the proposed 4-layered RFID system architecture, we introduce a case that implemented an UHF passive RFID-based tracking system in an outpatient clinic. Particularly, we propose a method to process RFID data that contains noise and missing reads. The proposed method for processing unreliable RFID data is capable to locate the tag accurately and provide additional business information. We finally conclude the paper with identifying obstacles and what is necessary to ensure system reliability.

This study investigates the natural convection of air(Pr=0.7) between two walls having a small- wave- number sinusoidal temperature distributions with a phase difference. The wave number and the phase difference of wall temperatures are k=0.5 and ㄱ/2, respectively. In the conduction-dominated regime at small Rayleigh number, two slightly inclined cells are formed over one wave length. At higher Rayleigh number, however, multicellular convection occurs in thermally unstable region. A spatial symmetry is intermittently broken in the transient period at the Rayleigh number near the critical value. The steady-state flows always satisfy the spatial symmetry. A steep increase of Nusselt number occurs near the Rayleigh number at which transition of flow pattern occurs.

Haptic systems help users feel a realistic sensation when they manipulate virtual objects in the remote virtual environment. However, there are communication time delays that may make the haptic system unstable. This paper shows the relationship between communication time delay, properties of a haptic device, and the stability of the haptic system with the first-order hold method in a simulation. The maximum available stiffness of a virtual spring with the first-order hold method is larger than in the zero-order hold method when there is no time delay. However, when the communication time delay is much larger than the sampling time, the maximum available stiffness to guarantee the stability becomes the same, irrespective of the sample-hold methods. Besides, the maximum available stiffness increases in inverse proportion to the communication time delay and in proportional to the damping coefficient of the haptic device.

Acoustic-pressure response of diluted hydrogen-air diffusion flames is investigated numerically by adopting a fully unsteady analysis of flame structures in low and high pressure regimes. As acoustic frequency increases, finite-rate chemistry is enhanced through a nonlinear accumulation of heat release rate for any pressure regime, leading to a high amplification index. Same numerical results are analyzed with application of a pressure-sensitive time lag model, and thereby, interaction index and time lag are calculated for each pressure regime. The interaction index has the largest value in each pressure regime at an acoustic frequency near 1000 Hz. In a high-pressure regime, flames are more unstable than in a low-pressure regime. The interaction index shows a good agreement with the amplification index.

The purpose of this study is to identify the difference of stress amount depending on the characteristics of hospital workers and job-stress's influence on the stress-measurement fields. For this purpose, the study surveyed 475 workers in 9 hospitals (2 general hospitals and 7hospitals) in Busan and empirically analyzed the data collected from them. In terms of theory and practice, the result of this study suggests as follows: First, there is significant difference in the stress amount depending on worker'scharacteristics.Second, the stress-measurement field with the largest influence on the job-stress is the job requirement, and the lowest field is the hospital culture. Third, at comparing the job stress amount with those of average Koreans, the stress-requirement field occupies the upper 50% zone for male, and the job-instability forfemale. As the result of this study, it is recognized that the structure management of medical institutions must consider the different stress factors according to the workers characteristics.

In this study, a complex eigenvalue analysis is implemented to verify the unstable mode of a brake system using ABAQUS software. The component participation factors and component modal participation factors are used to analyze the total contributions from each component and each component mode to a particular unstable system mode. This study shows that the 1.4-kHz unstable system mode comes from mode coupling between the 2nd nodal diametric mode and 3rd lateral axial mode (LAM) in the baseline model. A sensitivity analysis with a linking index is performed to prevent the mode coupling of the component modes. This linking index analysis shows the optimum mass loading position to move away the natural frequency of the 3rd LAM, which contributes to the unstable mode. Finally, a complex eigenvalue analysis is implemented with mass loading in the tie bar position, and no unstable system mode is generated in the low-frequency range (below 2 kHz).

휴대용 저장매체에서부터 solid state disk와 같은 고속 시스템 저장 매체 까지 플래시 메모리의 활용도가 급속도로 커지고 있다. 이에 플래시 메모리에 대한 연구 또한 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 현재 다결정 실리콘을 전하 주입 층으로 사용하는 기존의 플래시 메모리는 20 nm 급 까지 비례 축소되어 활용되고 있다. 하지만 20 nm 이하 크기의 소자에서는 과도한 누설전류와 구동전압의 불안정, 큰 간섭현상으로 인한 성능저하와 같은 많은 문제점에 봉착해 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 FinFET, Vertical 3-dimensional memory, MRAM (Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory), PRAM(Phase-change Memory)과 같은 차세대 메모리 소자에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 차세대 메모리 구조로 주목 받고 있는 FinFET 구조를 가진 플래시 메모리에서 fin 의 채널영역의 도핑 농도 변화에 의한 20 nm 이하의 게이트 크기를 가지는 소자의 전기적 특성과 프로그램 특성을 3차원 시뮬레이션을 통해 계산하였다. 본 연구에서는 FinFET 구조를 가진 플래시 메모리의 채널이 형성되는 fin의 윗부분도핑농도의 변화에 의한 전기적 특성과 프로그램 특성을 계산하였다. 본 계산에 사용된 구조는 게이트의 크기, 핀의 두께와 높이는 18, 15 그리고 28 nm이다. 기판은 Boron으로 $1{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$ 농도로 도핑 하였으며, 소스와 드레인, 다결정 실리콘 게이트는 $1{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$ 농도로 Phosphorus로 도핑 하였다. 채널이 형성되는 fin의 윗부분의 도핑농도를 $1{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$ 에서 $1{\times}5^{19}cm^{-3}$ 까지 변화 시키면서 각 농도에 대한 프로그램 특성과 전기적 특성을 계산하였다. 전류-전압 곡선과 전자주입 층에 주입되는 전하의 양을 통해 특성을 확인하였고 각 구조에서의 채널과 전자 주입 층의 전자의 농도, 전기장, 전기적 위치 에너지와 공핍 영역의 분포를 통해 분석하였다. 채널의 도핑농도 변화로 인한 fin 영역의 공핍 영역의 분포 변화로 인해 전기적 특성과 프로그램 특성이 변화함을 확인하였다.

The quality of depth images is important in the 3D video system to represent complete 3D contents. However, the original depth image from a depth camera has a low resolution and a flickering problem which shows vibrating depth values in terms of temporal meaning. This problem causes an uncomfortable feeling when we look 3D contents. In order to solve a low resolution problem, we employ 3D warping and a depth weighted joint bilateral filter. A temporal mean filter can be applied to solve the flickering problem while we encounter a residual spectrum problem in the depth image. Thus, after classifying foreground andbackground regions, we use an upsampled depth image for a foreground region and temporal mean image for background region.Test results shows that the proposed method generates a time consistent depth video with a high resolution.

The synchronization algorithm of IEEE 802.11a WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) has three consecutive processes, which use a short code training symbol, a long code training symbol and a pilot symbol respectively. But in using this synchronization processes, the actual embodiment has two problems. First, the synchronization process has the complex structure using a long code training symbol and a pilot symbol. Second, since the long training symbol is only compensated with the offset correction coefficient, it can not be trusted perfectly. If the equalizer coefficient is obtained in this unstable period, the system performance is degraded. In particular, the system performance becomes worst in case of the 54 Mbps transmission system using the maximum length of data. In this paper, the new algorithm is proposed which can resolve the embodiment complexity of synchronization processes and structural defect, and also it is confirmed by simulation.

Using the numerical solution in the plane restricted problem of three bodies, abut 490 periodic orbits are computed numerically around the $L_5$ of Sun-Jupiter and about 1600 periodic orbits also be done around the $L_5$ of Sun-Jupiter system. But, in Earth-Moon system, the complex shapes and dents appear around the $L_5$ and periodic orbits intersect one another in the place where dents are shown. And there is a region that three different periodic orbits exist with the same period in this system. The increase of energy is in inverse proportion to that of period in the part of this region. The regions can exist around the $L_5$ of Sun-Jupiter system where periodic orbit can be unstable by perturbation of other force besides the gravitational force of Jupiter. These regions which is close to $L_5$ are a~5.12 AU. The Trojan asteroids that have a small eccentricity and inclination can not exist in this region.
