It has been a big trend of the convergence technologies about communication systems and vehicular industry to improve safety and convenience. To achieve a number of infotainment vehicular applications, vehicles should transmit information with high reliability. A robust and accurate channel estimation scheme is of great importance to achieve the goal. In this paper, we present a novel enhanced decision-directed channel estimation scheme called FADP (Frequency Averaging Data Pilot) for dynamic time-varying vehicular channels in IEEE 802.11p. We use linear averaging filtering in frequency domain, and utilize the correlation characteristic of the channels between the adjacent two data symbols, update the CR in time domain to get more accuracy. Finally, analysis and simulation results reveal that compared with exist schemes, the proposed scheme has a good performance in mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER).

In this paper, we proposed a design of upper-limb rehabilitation device with power-assist function for stroke survivals. The designed upper-limb rehabilitation device has three degrees of freedom； it is possible to perform flexion and extension motions of wrist, index finger and the other fingers except the thumb independently. The power-assist for wrist motion is performed by a pneumatic double-acting cylinder, but the fingers are actuated by electrical linear actuators to assist motions. A prototype upper-limb rehabilitation device and its controller were implemented. The position controller showed 0.8 mm errors in the steady-state. Experimental results showed that the proposed upper-limb rehabilitation device with power-assist function is feasible.

수위관측지점의 수위-유량관계는 하천단면 형태와 경사에 따라 1개의 유량곡선이 형성될 수도 있으나, 저수위, 평수위, 고수위 등 여러 개 구간의 곡선이 각각 다른 형태로 구성될 수 있다. 또한 이러한 곡선의 연결접점에서 연결이 연속적이어야 하고 부드러워야 한다고 알려져 있다. 각 수위구간에서 유도된 수위-유량관계곡선이 수위구간을 나눈 경계수위에서 곡선식이 일치하지는 경우가 종종 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 경계수위와 곡선접점이 일치하는지 여부를 판단하고 오차의 크기를 확인하기 위하여 할선법을 적용하여 Excel의 VBA로 프로그램을 작성하여 사용하였다. 한편, 수위유량곡선의 연결부에서 부드럽게 연결되는 것이 바람직 하지만, 지금까지 실무에서는 경계수위에서 기울기가 급변하는 형태의 수위-유량관계곡선을 사용하고 있다. 왜냐하면 최소자승회귀분석을 통하여 유도되는 과정에서 경계수위지점의 1차 도함수를 일치시키는 것은 현실적으로 불가능하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 회귀분석으로 지수함수의 형태로 유도된 수위-유량관계곡선으로부터 수위와 유량의 대표 값을 계산하고 이들 대표 값들을 3차 스플라인 보간법을 이용하여 1차 도함수를 접점에서 일치시키는 부드러운 연결과 함께 수위-유량관계곡선과도 잘 일치하는 새로운 대안을 제시하였다. 2006년도 한국수문조사연보(유량편)의 자료를 검토하여 문제점들을 도출하고, 본 연구에서 제안한 방법들을 적용하여 보았다.

Heat transfer equation is first reviewed and then governing equation of moisture diffusion. Analogy scheme is applied to analysis the moisture absorption problem of polymers. It make possible to numerically analyze the diffusion problem for single medium by using commercial finite element code if it is under the isothermal loading condition. It is extended to special multimaterial system by introducing pressure ratio function, whose moisture characteristics of materials are proportional to temperature only. The weight changes of silicon-nonconductive-polymer joint model due to moisture absorption is measured and been very close to the numerical results as for single media with boundary condition with zero concentration, but yields numerical errors as for multisystem media.

The hole for the insertion of the pin in the shank is exist at ball joint connection of the space frame. It brings about the brittle fracture caused by stress concentration. Consequently it cannot expect the deformation performance or energy absorption performance from ball joint connection. In this study we developed a new connection details which will increase the plastic deformation performance at ball joint connection and can absorb the error in construction, which expect the plastic deformation performance at the reduced shank without brittle fracture at the screw of bolt and pin. Also it's capacity is verified by the performance in numerical analysis and test. We confirmed bolt's plastic deformantion performance through controled shank and pin's area.

Recently a demand for high precision absolute position transducer is increasing in order to control thickness in steel industry. LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) is widely used to measure the absolute position in the linearly moving cylinder under poor factory environment. In this paper we implement the three phase LVDT with a high resolution of one micron and L/D (LVDT to digital) converter. First we designed U, V, and W three phase signaling using FPGA. Second a pulse output algorithm is designed for position information with A and B phase waveforms. Finally the performance is compared with previous sensors. Experiments show that the linearity deviation error is 0.009788 [mm] and the average sinusoidal THD is 0.0751%, which means 2.2% and 33% more improved result than the previous sensors respectively.

The new definition of calibration coefficients is proposed for a five-hole Pitot tube. Two-angle chart calibration other than one-angle variation is considered to improve the accuracy in the measurement of the three-dimensional velocity fields. Several sets of correlation coefficients are introduced for different shapes of the probe tip. The calibration method with one-angle variation is compared with the new two-angle chart calibration method and the improvement of the present method is clearly shown.

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) for quantitative evaluation of delaminations inside of a composite material plate is described. Delaminations caused by the impact on composite materials are difficult to detect visual inspection and ultrasonic testing due to non-homeogenous structure. This paper proposes the quantitative evaluation technique of the defects made in the composite plates by impact load. Artificial defects are introduced inside of the composite plate for the development of a reliable ESPI inspection technique. Real defects produced by impact tester are inspected and compared with the results of visual inspection which shows a good agreement within 5% error.

We introduce an optimization of the number of base station antennas in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless powered communication network (WPCN). We use channel hardening property of massive MIMO system to approximate channel gain in terms of the number of base station antennas. Then, we find an optimal solution by partial differential and obtain a closed form solution by using Lambert-W function. The simulation results show that the approximation and the method of solving the optimization problem are reasonable, and the optimal solution of proposed scheme is almost identical to the optimal number of base station antennas by the exhaustive search method.
