HomePlug AV(HPAV) is the standard for distribution of Audio/video content as well as data within the home by using the power line. It uses a hybrid access mechanism that combines TDMA with CSMA/CA for MAC technology. The CSMA/CA protocol in HPAV has two main control blobs that can be used for access control: contention window(CW) size and deferral counter(DC). In this paper, we extensively investigate the impacts of CW and DC on performance through simulations, and propose an adaptive mechanism that adjusts the CW size to enhance the throughput in HPAV MAC. We find that the CW size is more influential on performance than the DC. Therefore, to make controlling the network easier, our proposal uses a default value of DC and adjusts the CW size. Our scheme simply increases or decreases the CW size if the network is too busy or too idle, respectively, We compare the performance of our proposal with those of the standard and other competitive schemes in terms of throughput and fairness. Our simulation and analysis results show that our adaptive CW mechanism performs very well under various scenarios.

As modern warfare has changed into network centered, the ability to share situational awareness among allies become a core competency for performing operational missions. In an airborne environment, it uses a tactical data link such as Link-16 for shared situational awareness. There exist problems when it shares situational awareness over the existing data link that can not allocate slots dynamically or that can not change the number of a slot to be allocated. In addition, there was a problem that can not share this failure so that failed to improves situation awareness because of finite time slot resources. In this paper, we accommodate dynamic slot allocation and changes of slot allocation with mixed structure of TDMA (time division multiple access) and random access. We propose a technique that can be used when available slots are exhausted, and a load balancing method to prevent slot allocation delay when slot requesting or message sending is concentrated on a single subframe.

The purpose of this study is to develop an organic-inorganic hybrid insulation materials which has an economic feasibility of organic level and excellent adiabatic performance and fire stability by impregnating organic materials with inorganic binder solutions. The organic base was commercial polyurethane sponge, and the inorganic binder slurry was prepared by mixing water and additives into recycled gypsum byproducts. As a result of evaluation of the developed materials, it was confirmed that it not only has excellent insulation performance of a thermal conductivity of 0.051 W/mK or less but also it is a semi-non-combustible materials specified in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Notice No. 2015-744. The developed materials can also be controlled for thermal conductivity and flame retardance according to density control during manufacturing process, and thus it can be applied to various insulation materials.

Surrogate models have been used for the rapid estimation of six-DOF aerodynamic coefficients in the context of the design and control of a missile. For this end, we may generate highly accurate surrogate models with a multitude of aerodynamic data obtained from wind tunnel tests (WTTs); however, this approach is time-consuming and expensive. Thus, we aim to swiftly predict aerodynamic coefficients via co-Kriging using a few WTT data along with plenty of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data. To demonstrate the excellence of co-Kriging models based on both WTT and CFD data, we first generated two surrogate models: co-Kriging models with CFD data and Kriging models without the CFD data. Afterwards, we carried out numerical validation and examined predictive trends to compare the two different surrogate models. As a result, we found that the co-Kriging models produced more accurate aerodynamic coefficients than the Kriging models thanks to the assistance of CFD data.

This paper has presented a new foaming technology of selective hybrid-structured polymer film with expanded pores. The porous structure of closed pore was firstly fabricated by applying the 355nm UV-pulsed laser to 0.1mm thick film that was uniformly mixed with PP pellets, copper powder, and CBA (Chemical Blowing Agent). In order to expand pore size of closed-cell shape, LAMO(Laser Aided Micro pore Opening) processing was conducted to heat the copper powder, and then the bigger pore size of closed-cell more than existing pore size was successfully formed because of rapid conduction of heated metal powder. From the experimental results, various process parameters such as laser fluence, intensity, scan rate, spot size and density of powder and CBA were considerably considered to reveal the correlation among the pore characteristics. In the future, a function experiment will be carried out to use the hybrid film of industrial applications.

Our society has evolved into a fully connected society in a mixed reality environment enabling various knowledge sharing / management / control / creation due to the expansion of broadband ICT infrastructure, smart devices, cloud services and social media services. Therefore cyber threats have increased with the convenience. The society of the future can cause more complex and subtle problems, if you do not have an effective response to cyber threats, due to fusion of logical space and physical space, organic connection of the smart object and the universalization of fully connected society. In this paper, we propose the strategy to build knowledge-base as the basis to actively respond to new cyber threats caused by future various environmental changes and the universalization of fully connected society.

Implantable biodegradable wafers were prepared with pamidronate -loaded poly (L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA, 75 : 25 mole ratio by lactide to glycolide, molecular weight : 20000 and 90000 g/mole) by direct compression method for the sustained release of pamidronate to investigate the possibility for the treatment of bone resorption. Pamidronate-loaded PLGA powders were prepared by means of physical mixing and spray drying with the control of formulation factors and characterized by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer. The pamidronate-loaded PLGA powders fabricated into wafers by direct compression under the constant pressure and time at room temperature. These wafers were also observed for their structural characteristic, release pattern, and degradation pattern. The release rate of pamidronate increased with increasing their initial loading ratio as well as increasing wafer thickness. The molecular weight of PLGA affects the release pattern : the higher molecular weight of PLGA, the faster release rate. It can be explained that the higher viscosity of high molecular PLGA solution at same concentration tends to aggregate PLGA and pamidronate resulting in unstable pharmaceutical dosage form. This system had advantages in terms of simplicity in design and obviousness of drug release rate and nay be useful as an implantable dosage form for the treatment of aural cholesteatoma.

Agricultural unmanned helicopters have become a new paradigm for aerial application. Yet, such agricultural helicopters require easy and affordable attitude control systems. Therefore, this study presents an affordable attitude measurement system using a DCM (direction cosine matrix) algorithm that would be applied to agricultural unmanned helicopters. An IMU using a low-cost MEMS and an algorithm to estimate the attitude of the helicopter were applied in a gimbals structure to evaluate the accuracy of the attitude measurements. The estimation errors in the attitude were determined in comparison with the true angles determined by absolute position encoders. The DCM algorithm and sensors showed an accuracy of about 1.1% for the roll and pitch angle estimation. However, the accuracy of the yaw angle estimation at 3.7% was relatively larger. Such errors may be due to the magnetic field of the stepping motor and encoder system. Notwithstanding, since the intrinsic behavior of the agricultural helicopter remains steady, the determination of attitude would be reliable and practical.

We investigated the growth of $(Al_xGa_{1-x})_2O_3$ thin films on c-plane sapphire substrates that were grown by mist chemical vapor deposition (mist CVD). The precursor solution was prepared by mixing and dissolving source materials such as gallium acetylacetonate and aluminum acetylacetonate in deionized water. The [Al]/[Ga] mixing ratio (MR) of the precursor solution was adjusted in the range of 0~4.0. The Al contents of $(Al_xGa_{1-x})_2O_3$ thin films were increased from 8 to 13% with the increase of the MR of Al. As a result, the optical bandgap of the grown thin films changed from 5.18 to 5.38 eV. Therefore, it was determined that the optical bandgap of grown $(Al_xGa_{1-x})_2O_3$ thin films could be effectively engineered by controlling Al content.
