An electro-optic polymer digital optical switch with a coupling region modified for optimum coupling is designed and demonstrated. Its branch waveguide is fabricated by reactive ion etching. Then, the modified coupling region is adiabatically introduced along the propagation direction from the branching point of the two waveguides, and it is implemented by photobleaching after the device fabrication. The structure of the modified coupling region and its refractive index profiles are designed to optimize and mode coupling in the Y-branch waveguide. Therefore, the switching performance of the device was shown to be enhanced with a fixed device length. The measured drive voltage is reduced by more than 30 percents, and the crosstalk is also improved by about 4~6 dB.

It is difficult to establish a quantitative standard because there are many factors to consider, such as environmental conditions, airworthiness, and maintainability, in determining the installation location of equipment in an aircraft. In addition, as the number of equipment increases, the design proposal increases exponentially, so the design is proceeding depending on the experience of the designer much in order to review it within a limited time schedule. In this paper, a method of calculating the length and weight of the wiring harness according to the location of the equipment and a method of optimizing the weight of the wiring harness and the CG of the equipment using genetic algorithms are described in order to create a quantitative standard useful by comparing the optimal design and the actual design.

We developed a novel depth-of-interaction positron emission tomography (PET) detector using wavelength shifting (WLS) fibers and optimized it. The optimization module was designed by using two scintillators and three WLS fibers and attaching a sensor to the end of the WLS fiber. Optimum combinations were obtained through the light collection efficiency and the light collection ratio between sensors depending on coupling materials and reflectors of scintillators, WLS fibers and sensors. The highest light collection efficiency and the light collection ratio between sensors were obtained in the combination of the epoxy (coupling materials)-diffuse reflector (scintillators)-specular reflector (WLS fibers).

A FORTRAN program was developed to determine the optimal locations of multiple recharge wells in an aquifer with different arrangements of pumping wells. The simulated annealing algorithm was used to find optimal locations of two recharge wells which satisfied three objective functions. The model results show that locating two injection wells inside the cluster of pumping wells is efficient if the recovery rate only was taken into account. In contrast, placing injection wells to the side of the cluster is desirable if the simulation considers aggregate objective function. Therefore, installing an injection well on each side of the cluster seems to yield the maximum recovery rates for the existing pumping wells, and it yields similar increases in pumping rate for all wells in the cluster. The locations of recharge wells can be arranged in numerous configurations, because there are multiple near-optimal local minima or maxima. These results indicate that the simulated annealing can yield effective evaluations of the optimal locations of multiple recharge wells. In addition, the suggested aggregate objective function can be utilized as an appropriate multi-objective optimization.

Recent advancements in the IT industry have made daily life more convenient than ever before. In particular, studies have focused on the position detection of individuals using the GPS in smartphones, and this application has been utilized actively in emergency rescue organizations. However, existing methods send the location information of a user to a predetermined guardian set by the user or to a control center when the user enters into or deviates from a predetermined space. Such spaces are created by an arbitrary radius, thereby making it difficult to set a detailed area by using an existing radius-area creation method in an unstructured space and path with a specific road, such as for trekking, amusement parks, or mountaineering. This study proposes a novel method for setting up an area by connecting multiple radii to improve the existing radius-area creation method in order to easily set a detailed area in smart devices or on the Internet. In addition, an optimization method for resource use is proposed by comparing the operation results in which a user's location is detected by using the proposed location-based area setup method and deviation detection.

This paper presents the design optimization of fuel sensor location used to measure remained fuel amount in aircraft conformal fuel tank. The conformal fuel tank is utilized to expand the mission range in airplane, and the sensor location is a critical design variable determining the measurement accuracy. In this work, the sensor location is optimized to minimize unmeasurable fuel amount due to non-contact between fuel and sensor. The simplified model is prepared from the conformal fuel tank CATIA model, and the unmeasurable fuel amount is calculated. Then, the optimization is performed using MATLAB optimization solver. The optimized sensor location is validated by comparing with the location obtained using parametric study.

Knowledge about protein subcellular localization provides important information about protein function. This paper improves a label power-set multi-label classification for the accurate prediction of subcellular localization of proteins which simultaneously exist at multiple subcellular locations. Among multi-label classification methods, label power-set method can effectively model the correlation between subcellular locations of proteins performing certain biological function. With constrained optimization, this paper calculates combination weights which are used in the linear combination representation of a multi-label by other multi-labels. Using these weights, the prediction probabilities of multi-labels are combined to give final prediction results. Experimental results on human protein dataset show that the proposed method achieves higher performance than other prediction methods for protein subcellular localization. This shows that the proposed method can successfully enrich the prediction probability of multi-labels by exploiting the overlapping information between multi-labels.

The mobility or highly interconnected and communicating devices and users has implications for the QoS in a ubiquitous computing environment. Therefore, it is important for location aware systems to detect location of mobile object correctly and Provide high quality services in ubiquitous environment. However, it is not easy that location aware systems offer highly reliable QoS to users because process strategies of location aware systems are limited by the capability according to the applied detection target objects. In this paper, we design an autonomic architecture which analyzes the location aware system condition and autonomously chooses the best appropriate process strategy. We also have simulated the Proposed architecture in order to verify its performance. The test results show us that the architecture using self-optimizing mechanism provides higher QoS to users in variable bandwidth.

광 디스크 드라이브에서의 서보 제어시스템에는 광 픽업에서 발생된 레이저 빔을 디스크 기록면의 데이터 트랙에 정확히 위치시키기 위한 제어 계를 갖고 있다. 광 디스크의 고배속화에 따른 외란의 주파수 대역의 증가에 따라 더욱 더 높은 샘플링 주파수로 레이저 빔의 위치 제어를 필요로 하게 되고, 여러 가지 알고리즘의 증가로 인해 DSP의 연산 부담은 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 서보 제어에 필요한 알고리즘의 최적화된 하드웨어/소프트웨어 시스템을 구현하고 이를 이용한 실험 결과를 제시한다.
