The alternating flow hydraulics (AFH) had demonstrated the unique features in the past. One of the most well-known inventions was the hydraulic machine-gun synchronizer, which had become the standard equipment of airplane during World War I. The studies on the AFH between 1960 and 1980 had trigged many researchers' interests and reached the summit. The disadvantages of the AFH like low efficiency and cooling difficulty had prevented the further development. Few people are engaged in studying the AFH at present. However, the unique characteristics of the AFH inspire the researchers to continuously explore the new special suitable applications. The overviews of the AFH and the new potential application in the geotechnical testing field have been discussed in this paper. First, the research results of the AFH in the past have been summarized. Then, the classifications of the AFH have been introduced in detail according to the working principle, the number of hydraulic transmission pipelines and the mode of input energy. The advantages and the disadvantages of the AFH have been discussed. A novel potential suitable application in the soil test field has been presented at last. The detailed designing ideas of a new dynamic trixial instrument have been given, which will be a more innovational and energy-saving plan according to the current studies. A series of simulation experiments have been done. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme for the new dynamic trixial instrument is feasible. The paper work will also give some inspirations in the reciprocating motion control system.

Objectives: Away-from-home (AFH) eating has been associated with poor diet quality and health outcomes like obesity in developed countries. AFH eating is also emerging in low-income countries, but its influence on overall diet quality is under-researched. We examined the prevalence of AFH eating and its influence on the dietary patterns of Ugandan adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a web-based survey to interview Ugandan adults aged 18 ~ 65 years. A qualitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the food group intake, which was then converted into daily intake frequencies. Principal component analysis was used to derive dietary patterns. The participants were then classified based on the tertiles (T) of dietary pattern scores. Results: About 75% of the 375 participants reported eating AFH. The young men, food insecure, and urban dwellers were more likely to eat AFH ≥ 5 times/week. Three dietary patterns emerged; the animal-based, beverage pattern; the high fat, sweet pattern; and the traditional, plant-based pattern. Participants who frequently ate AFH were 2.85 times and 5.64 times more likely to be in the second and third tertiles, respectively, of the animal-based, beverage pattern compared to the rare eaters (OR = 2.85, 95% CI: 1.35-6.06 for T2 vs T1; and OR = 5.64, 95% CI: 2.50-12.73 for T3 vs T1). The odds of being in the second tertile of the high fat, sweet pattern was significantly higher for frequent AFH eaters compared to the rare eaters (OR = 2.61, 95% CI:1.23-5.52). Conclusions: The prevalence of AFH eating was high. Frequent AFH eating was common among the young, male, food insecure, and urban dwellers, and was associated with unhealthy dietary patterns.

본 논문에서는 AFH 알고리즘을 사용하는 블루투스로 이루어진 피코넷이 WLAN과 공존할 때 피코넷 패킷 간의 충돌을 다중 경로 페이딩 채널을 고려하여 수학적으로 분석하였다. AFH에 의해 줄어든 블루투스의 홉 수와 패킷 주변의 피코넷의 신호 세기에 따라 패킷의 충돌 확률에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 본 논문에서는 AFH이 갖는 한계를 인식하고 이를 극복하고자 AAFH 알고리즘을 제안하였다. AAFH은 계속적인 채널 사용 여부에 따라 채널 상태의 확인 여부(scanning)를 결정하게 되는데 AFH 와 비교했을 때 collision와 waste 양에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않으면서도 채널 scanning 수가 최대 50% 감소하게 되어 블루투스의 에너지 낭비가 줄어들게 됨을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 AFH (Adaptive Frequency Hopping) 알고리즘을 사용하는 블루투스 (Bluetooth) 로 이루어진 피코넷 (Piconet) 이 WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) 과 공존할 때 피코넷 패킷간의 충돌과 통합 처리량을 수학적으로 분석하였다. AFH 알고리즘에 의해 줄어든 블루투스의 흡수가 피코넷 간의 패킷 충돌을 증가 시킬 수 있고 통합 처리량에도 영향을 줄 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 다중 경로 페이딩 채널을 고려하여 다수의 피코넷이 패킷을 전송할 때 동일 주파수를 사용하더라도 주변의 피코넷의 신호 세기에 따라 패킷의 충돌 확률에도 영향을 줄 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구는 블루투스와 WLAN 사용에 있어서 시스템의 파라미터 설정에 참고할 만한 가이드라인이 될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문에서는 Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) 알고리즘을 사용하는 블루투스로 이루어진 피코넷이 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) 과 공존할 때 피코넷(Piconet) 패킷(Packet)간의 충돌 (Interference) 과 통합 처리량을 분석하였다. 동일한 주파수 대역의 Unlicensed ISM(Industrial, Scientific, Medical) Band를 사용하는 WLAN은 22MHz대역을 사용하기 때문에 AFH 알고리즘을 사용하는 블루투스와 공존할 경우 WLAN의 개수에 따라 홉 수가 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 멀티플 슬롯(Multiple-slot) 패킷을 사용하는 피코넷 클러스터(Piconet Cluster)의 패킷 충돌 모델을 가지고 AFH 알고리즘에 의해 서로 다른 홉(hop) 수를 갖게 된 피코넷의 패킷 충돌 확률과 통합 처리량을 전체 피코넷의 수를 증가시키면서 분석하였다.

2.4Ghz ISM 대역에서 동작하는 Bluetooth는 동일한 대역에서 동작하는 WLAN(802.11.b), Cordless phone, microwave oven등의 신호가 interference로 작용하여, 성능이 크게 저하된다. 특히 Bluetooth과 WLAN은 상호간 interference로 작용하여 상호 성능 저하를 초래한다. 따라서, 두 장치간의 coexistence를 위한 방안으로 adaptive hopping frequency(AFH)이 제안되었다. 이 논문에서는 3 channel status를 이용한 AFH 방식을 제안하고, 그 성능을 검증하였다.

As the most of dentofacial deformity patients indicated to orthognathic surgery have strong desire for esthetic improvement as well as functional improvement, ideal esthetic evaluation should be made at surgical prediction. Lateral cephalographs has been commonly used for surgical prediction, however, remarkable discrepancy between esthetic viewpoint by simple looking and analysis on lateral cephalographs often found on evaluation of sagittal position of the upper and lower jaws especially in cases of mandibular prognathism of Koreans. In these cases, we have been employed Esthetic NaP(ENaP)-line for corrective evaluation and ideal surgical prediction on lateral cephalographs, but the efficacy of ENaP-line has not been evaluated. This is a study on efficacy of ENaP-line for orthognathic surgery of Korean mandibular prognathism. 170 Korean patients who had been diagnosed as mandibular prognathism and planned for orthognathic surgery at Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University during last 10 years are studied. The obtained results are as followings; among 170 patients of mandibular prognathism, 132 patients(77.6%) had not discrepancy in evaluation of sagittal position of the maxilla between cephalometric and esthetic evaluation(they are classified as Group I), however, 38 patients(22.4%) had definite discrepancy(they are classified as Group II). ENaP-line was employed in all cephalometric analysis of Group II. The proportions of male and female were similar in both Groups. Sixteen vertical reference lines perpendicular to 16 horizontal reference lines were obtained as followings; Each of the representative degree of ${\angle}SN/AFH$, ${\angle}SN/CFH$ and ${\angle}AFH/CFH$ obtained at Group I was applied to SN plane, AFH plane and CFH plane of Group II each other, and so 16 horizontal reference lines could be obtained individually according to each of the applied degree to each plane. And then their reliability to coincide with ENaP-line of Group II was evaluated. A vertical reference line perpendicular to a horizontal line made by application of the representative degree of ${\angle}$AFH/CFH in Group I to AFH line in Group II had the most highest coincidence with ENaP-line of Group II, however, its agreement was 42% in male and 47% in female. From this results, the rest of them should be determined their corrective jaw position definitely depend on

In bluetooth system, there are two kinds of interference. One is the frequency static interference, for example 802.11 direct sequence, the interferer uses fixed frequency band. Another is frequency dynamic interference, for example other piconets or 802.11 frequency hopping, the interferer uses dynamic frequency channel and cant be estimated. In this paper we introduce a novel solution of hybrid method of Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) and Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) to address the coexistence of bluetooth and Direct Sequence of wireless local area network (WLAN). Before any bluetooth packet transmission, in the turn around time of the current slot, both the sender and receiver sense the channel whether there is any transmission going on or not. If the channel is busy, packet transmission is withdrawn until another chance. This is the LBT in Bluetooth. Because of asymmetry sense ability of WLAN and bluetooth, AFH is introduced to combat the left front-edge packet collisions. In monitor period of AFH, LBT is performed to label the channels with static interference. Then, all the labeled noisy channels are not used in the followed bluetooth frequency hopping. In this way, both the frequency dynamic and frequency static interference are effectively mitigated. We evaluate the solution through packet collision analysis and a detail realistic simulation with IP traffic. It turns out that the hybrid method can combat both the frequency dynamic and frequency static interference. The packet collision analysis shows it almost doubles the maximal system aggregate throughput. The realistic simulation shows it has the least packet loss.
