In this paper, we propose an effective time-of-arrival (TOA)-based localization method with adaptive bias computation in indoor environments. The goal of the localization is to estimate an accurate target's location in wireless localization system. However, in indoor environments, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) errors block the signal propagation between target device and base station. The NLOS errors have significant effects on ranging between two devices for wireless localization. In TOA-based localization, finding the target's location inside the overlapped area in the TOA-circles is difficult. We present an effective localization method using compensated distance with adaptive bias computation. The proposed method is possible for the target's location to estimate an accurate location in the overlapped area using the measured distances with subtracted adaptive bias. Through localization experiments in indoor environments, estimation error is reduced comparing to the conventional localization methods.

The problem of sound source localization is to determine the position of sound sources using the measurement of the acoustic signals received by microphones. To develop a good sound source localization system which is applicable to a mobile platform such as robots, a time delay estimator with low computational complexity and robustness to background noise or reverberations is necessary. In this paper, an explicit adaptive time delay estimation method for a sound source localization system is proposed. Proposed explicit adaptive time estimation algorithm employs direct adaptation of the delay parameter using a transform-based optimization technique, rather than...

The present work is concerned with the development of a procedure for adaptive computations of shear localization problems. The maximum jump of equivalent strain rates across element boundaries is proposed as a simple error indicator based on interpolation errors, and successfully implemented in the adaptive mesh refinement scheme. The time step is controlled by using a parameter related to the Lipschitz constant, and state variables in target elements for refinements are transferred by $L_2$-projection. Consistent tangent moduli with a proper updating scheme for state variables are used to improve the numerical stability in the formation of shear bands. It is observed that the present adaptive mesh refinement procedure shows an excellent performance in the simulation of shear localization problems.

이동 사용자의 위치 정보를 제공하는 위치인식서비스는 센서네트워크가 제공하는 대표적인 서비스이다. 그동안 이동 사용자의 위치정보를 획득하기 위한 다양한 기법들이 제시되어 왔다. 하지만 대부분의 기법들은 단일 사용자인 경우만 고려하여 연구되어 이를 다중 사용자인 경우로 확장하기에는 문제가 있다. 여러 이동 사용자들이 한 지역에서 동시에 위치인식 작업을 수행하는 경우에 센서노드들이 발생시키는 라디오 주파수나 초음파 등이 서로 간에 간섭을 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 여러 이동 사용자들이 동시 다발적으로 위치확인 작업을 수행하고자 하는 경우에 발생 가능한 간섭을 최소화 하는 적응적 파워 조절에 기반한 위치인식 기법인 APL(Adaptive Power Control based Resource Allocation Technique for Efficient Localization Technique)기법을 제안한다. APL기법은 센서노드가 위치인식 작업을 수행하기 전에 주위에 있는 앵커노드를 선점하여 점유함으로써 노드간의 간섭을 방지한다. 이를 위해 IEEE 802.11에 정의된 RTS(Ready To Send)패킷을 자원 선점을 요청하는데 사용하며 CTS(Clear To Send)패킷을 자원 선점을 확인하는데 사용한다. 반대로 이미 앵커노드가 다른 노드에 의해 선점하여 위치인식 작업을 방해할 가능성이 있는 경우 해당 앵커노드들을 임계영역으로 정의한다. 임계영역 처리를 위한 NTS(Not To Send) 패킷을 새로이 정의하여 노드 간에 간섭이 발생하지 않도록 한다. 추가적으로 거리측정 작업시 앵커노드간 동기화를 위한 STS(Start to Send)패킷을 새로이 정의한다. 최종적으로 센서노드의 전송 파워를 적응적으로 조절하여 작업이 영향을 미치는 영역을 최소화하도록 한다. 실험을 통하여 이동 사용자가 다수일 경우 노드 간에 간섭이 많이 발생함을 보이며 제안하는 APL기법이 위치인식 작업시 간섭을 방지함을 보인다.

Location-based service (LBS) is becoming an important part of the information technology (IT) business. Localization is a core technology for LBS because LBS is based on the position of each device or user. In case of outdoor, GPS - which is used to determine the position of a moving user - is the dominant technology. As satellite signal cannot reach indoor, GPS cannot be used in indoor environment. Therefore, research and study about indoor localization technology, which has the same accuracy as an outdoor GPS, is needed for "seamless LBS". For indoor localization, we consider the IEEE802.11 WLAN environment. Generally, received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is used to obtain a specific position of the user under the WLAN environment. RSSI has a characteristic that is decreased over distance. To use RSSI at indoor localization, a mathematical model of RSSI, which reflects its characteristic, is used. However, this RSSI of the mathematical model is different from a real RSSI, which, in reality, has a sensitive parameter that is much affected by the propagation environment. This difference causes the occurrence of localization error. Thus, it is necessary to set a proper RSSI model in order to obtain an accurate localization result. We propose a method in which the parameters of the propagation environment are determined using only RSSI measurements obtained during localization.

Free-form blades are widely used in different industries, such as aero-engine and steam turbine. Blades that are damaged during service or have production deficiencies are usually replaced with new ones. This leads to the waste of expensive material and is not sustainable. However, material and costs can be saved by repairing of locally damaged blades or blades with localized production deficiencies. The blade needs to be further machined after welding process to reach the aerodynamic performance requirements. This paper outlines an adaptive location approach of repaired blade for model reconstruction and NC machining. Firstly, a mathematical model is established to describe the localization problem under constraints. Secondly, by solving the mathematical model, localization of repaired blade for NC machining can be obtained. Furthermore, a more flexible method based on the proposed mathematical model and the continuity of the deformation process is developed to realize a better localization. Thirdly, by rebuilding the model of the repaired blade and extracting repair error, optimized tool paths for NC machining is generated adaptively for each individual part. Finally, three examples are given to validate the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a method for source localization in reverberant environments based on an adaptive eigenvalue decomposition (AED) algorithm which directly estimates channel impulse responses from a speaker to microphones. Unfortunately, the AED algorithm may suffer from whitening effects on channels estimated from temporally correlated natural sounds. The proposed method which applies sparse priors to the estimated channels can avoid the temporal whitening and improve the performance of source localization in reverberant environments. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Adaptive development of early stage embryo is well established and recently it is explored that the mammalian embryos also have adaptive ability to the stressful environment. However, the mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, to evaluate the possible role of aquaporin in early embryo developmental adaptation, the expression of aquaporin (AQP) 5 gene which is detected during early development were examined by the environmental condition. To compare expression patterns between in vivo and in vitro, we conducted quantitative RT-PCR and analyzed localization of the AQP5 by whole mount immunofluorescence. At in vivo condition, Aqp5 expressed in oocyte and in all the stages of preimplantation embryo. It showed peak at 2-cell stage and decreased continuously until morula stage. At in vitro condition, Aqp5 expression pattern was similar with in vivo embryos. It expressed both at embryonic genome activation phase and second mid-preimplantation gene activation phase, but the fold changes were modified between in vivo embryos and in vitro embryos. During in vivo development, AQP5 was mainly localized in apical membrane of blastomeres of 4-cell and 8-cell stage embryos, and then it was localized in cytoplasm. However, the main localization area of AQP5 was dramatically shifted after 8-cell stage from cytoplasm to nucleus by in vitro development. Those results explore the modification of Aqp5 expression levels and location of its final products by in vitro culture. It suggests that expression of Aqp5 and the roles of AQP5 in homeostasis can be modulated by in vitro culture, and that early stage embryos can develop successfully by themselves adapting to their condition through modulation of the specific gene expression and localization.

Range-based wireless localization system must measure accurate range between a mobile node (MN) and reference nodes. However, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error caused by the spatial structures disturbs the localization system obtaining the accurate range measurements. Localization methods using the range measurements including NLOS error yield large localization error. But filter-based localization methods can provide comparatively accurate location solution. Motivated by the accuracy of the filter-based localization method, a filter residual-based NLOS error estimation method is presented in this paper. Range measurement-based residual contains NLOS error. By considering this factor with NLOS error properties, NLOS error is mitigated. Also a process noise covariance matrix tuning method is presented to reduce the time-delay estimation error caused by the single dynamic model-based filter when the speed or moving direction of a MN changes, that is the used dynamic model is not fit the current dynamic of a MN. The presented methods are evaluated by simulation allowing direct comparison between different localization methods. The simulation results show that the presented filter is more accurate than the iterative least squares- and extended Kalman filter-based localization methods.
