The energy conservation is the most important subject for long run operation of the sensor nodes with limited power resources. Clustering is one of most energy efficient technique to grouped the sensor nodes into distinct cluster. But, in a cluster based WSN, CHs and gateways bear an extra work load to send the processed data to the sink. The inappropriate cluster formation may cause gateways overloaded and may increase latency in communication. In this paper, we propose a novel load balanced clustering model for improving energy efficiency and giving a guarantee of long network lifetime. We show the result of performance measurement experiments that designs using a branch and bound algorithm and a multi-start local search algorithm to compare with the existing load balanced clustering model.

In this paper, To improve the effectiveness of security enforcement, the first contribution in this work is that we present a clustered heterogeneous WSN(Wareless Sensor Network) architecture, composed of not only resource constrained sensor nodes, but also a number of more powerful high-end devices acting as cluster heads. Compared to sensor nodes, a high-end cluster head has higher computation capability, larger storage, longer power supply, and longer radio transmission range, and it thus does not suffer from the resource scarceness problem as much as a sensor node does. A distinct feature of our heterogeneous architecture is that cluster heads are equipped with TC(trusted computing) technology, and in particular a TCG(Trusted Computing Group) compliant TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is embedded into each cluster head. According the TCG specifications, TPM is a tamper-resistant, self-contained secure coprocessor, capable of performing cryptographic functions. A TPM attached to a host establishes a trusted computing platform that provides sealed storage, and measures and reports the integrity state of the platform.

MANET is a network composed itself because mobile nodes are connected wirelessly. It has been applied to various fields for group communication. However, the dynamic topology by the movement of the nodes causes routing failure frequently because it is difficult to maintain the position information of the nodes participating in the group communication. Also, it has a problem that network performance is decreased due to high overhead for managing information of member nodes. In this paper, we propose a multicast technique using location-based 2-tier virtual group that is flexible and reliable in management of member nodes. The network is composed of cellular zones and the virtual group is constructed using the location information of the nodes in the proposed technique. The virtual group management node is selected to minimize the overhead of location information management for member nodes in the virtual group. In order to improve the reliability for management of member nodes and multicast data transmission, it excludes the gateway node with low transfer rate when setting the route after the packet transmission rate of the member nodes is measured. The excellent performance of the proposed technique can be confirmed through comparative experiments with AMroute method and PAST-DM method.

This study is focused on the ignition of ceiling insulation depending on working condition of Sprinkler head in underground parking lot fire. When temperature changes of same point were measured depending on sprinkler's working condition, in Scenario 1, inner temperature at border of spray applied material(SP-2) of ceiling part near the fire and ceiling insulation(blowing polystyrene) was 658.27℃ and its which inner maximum temperature is higher than 427℃ which is the ignition point of ceiling insulation(blowing polistyrene), so it was observed that flame is ignited on the ceiling insulation and spread fire. In scenario 2, Inner fire temperature at border of spray applied material(SP-2) and ceiling insulation(blowing polystyrene) near the fire was 53.10℃ and it was lower than ignition point so it was observed that flame was not ignated on the ceiling insulation. As a result, it was foreseen that possibility of ignition on the ceiling insulation depending on working condition of sprinkler.

TBM disc cutter, which is the main cutting tool of tunnel boring machine (TBM), is replaced when it is excessively worn during the boring process. Disc cutters are usually monitored by workers at cutterhead chamber, and they check the status and wear amount of cutters. Because cutterhead chamber is usually in dangerous circumstance due to high pressure and instability of excavation surface, the measurement by manpower occasionally results in inaccuracy of measurement result. In order to overcome the limitations, the real-time disc cutter monitoring techniques have been developed in some foreign countries. This paper collected the current status of disc cutter monitoring system from the literature. Several types of sensors are used to measure the cutter wear, and it is believed that the collected information can be useful reference when similar domestic technologies are developed in the future.

In this paper, we intend to improve the network lifetime by improving the energy efficiency of sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network by utilizing machine learning using K-means clustering algorithm. A wireless sensor network is a wireless network composed of physical devices including batteries as physical sensors. Due to the characteristics of sensor nodes, all resources must be efficiently used to minimize energy consumption to maximize network lifetime. A cluster based approach is used to manage groups of relatively large numbers of nodes. In the proposed protocol, by improving the existing LEACH algorithm, we propose a clustering algorithm that selects a cluster head using a cluster based approach and a location based approach. The performance results to be improved were measured using Matlab simulation. Through the experimental results, K-means clustering was applied to the energy efficiency part. By utilizing K-means, it is confirmed that energy efficiency is improved and the lifetime of the entire network is extended.

Avionics Intercom performs communication between pilot, co-pilot and crews in aircraft. In the case of developing intercom in the aircraft modification development project, additional communication equipment or avionics equipment is configured to link the existing intercom with the headsets. Newly designed intercom needs a configuration that receives an aircraft headset microphone and transmits a microphone signal to the existing intercom, and these signals are required to perform signal quality above a certain level. To satisfy these requirements, microphone transmitter circuit has designed and tested, but quality factors of signal were not suitable. In order to avoid the issue, eliminate transmitter and apply signal bridge circuit considered with load effect, and it meets requirements. In this paper, the test results for the signal quality for each configuration are reviewed.

최근 멀티코어 프로세서의 활용이 대중화되고 있다. 멀티코어 시스템에서는 소프트웨어가 동시에 여러 코어를 사용하여 동작을 수행 할 때 성능 향상 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 즉, 하나의 소프트웨어가 여러 코어를 동시에 사용할 수 있는 멀티스레드 프로그래밍 기법을 사용할 때 성능을 높일 수 있다. 이러한 환경에서 효율적인 메모리 할당은 데스크톱, 서버 및 과학 등과 같은 응용에 매우 중요하다. 하지만, 동적으로 메모리를 할당하는 것은 메모리 할당 연산과 반환 연산 및 어떤 스레드가 다른 스레드의 힙 영역에 접근하는 것을 처리하기 위한 동기화 문제로 인한 오버헤드가 발생하여 성능에 영향을 끼치는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 이와 같은 환경에서 실제로 성능에 어느 정도 영향을 끼칠 것인가를 측정할 수 있는 도구가 필요하다. 이에 멀티코어 환경에서 멀티스레드 기법을 사용하여 메모리 할당 연산이 성능에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지를 측정 및 평가할 수 있는 시뮬레이터인 MAES(Memory Allocation Evaluation Simulator)를 설계하고 구현한다.

An experimental study of the air flow through inlet pipe of reciprocating two-cycle engine was investigated under motored condition. Measurements of the two components of velocity, velocity fluctuation, and the other behavior of inlet flow have been obtained by laser Doppler anemometer system. The research engine comprised the cylinder head of a two-cycle engine which mounted on optical spacer with measuring window and glass inlet entry for laser anemometer measurement. A dual beam laser Doppler anemometer was used with conventional forward scattered method and comprised argon-ion laser, frequency shifter with Bragg cell module, and the signal processor. Measurements of mean velocity fluctuation of inlet flow for different engine speeds, measuring positions, and the changes in cylinder volume are investigated. The results presented show that the changes in engine speed is shown to be strongly influenced on the mean velocity of inlet air. The effect of measuring position and cylinder volume on the inlet velocity was also investigated for the inlet port entry and is shown to be small compared to the engine speed.
