In variety of environments for applications, wireless sensor networks have received increasing attention in the recent few years. But, sensor nodes have many limitations including battery power and communication range. These networks require robust wireless communicant protocols that are energy efficient and provide low latency. In this paper, we propose new protocol as is defined SCP. The key idea of SCP is that only one node which is defined as a Super-Cluster Header sends the combined data to the BS. We evaluated the effectiveness of SCP through experiments which have several parameter violations. Simulation results shows that performance of SCP is through better than other legacy protocol within the framework of energy cost, life time of the sensor network and fair distribution of the energy consumption.

In the electric power industry, it is important that the supply of energy must be guaranteed. Many power utilities control and supervise the transmission line to avoid power failures. In case of underground tunnel, some troubles are reported in cable joint. To stabilize the power, it is needed to monitor the cable joint. Many researches of cable joint monitoring have been going on by partial discharge measurement and temperature measurement using optical cable. These methods need much cost to install and maintain, so it is only used in critical transmission line. In this research, we use wireless sensor technology, because of its low cost and easy installation. We develop the temperature monitoring system for cable joint. Temperature sensor is installed on the surface of cable joint and sends data to server through router node using wireless network. Generally Ad hoc routing is searched in wireless network. However, in this research, we design the static linear routing mechanism, which is suitable for electric power line monitoring and analyze the life time of the sensor node by measuring the amount of the battery consumption.

Neuromodulation was introduced for patients with poor outcomes from the existing traditional treatment approaches. It is well-established as an alternative, novel treatment option for voiding dysfunction. The current system of neuromodulation uses an open-loop system that only delivers continuous stimulation without considering the patient's state changes. Though the conventional open-loop system has shown positive clinical results, it can cause problems such as decreased efficacy over time due to neural habituation, higher risk of tissue damage, and lower battery life. Therefore, there is a need for a closed-loop system to overcome the disadvantages of existing systems. The closed-loop neuromodulation includes a system to monitor and stimulate micturition reflex pathways from the lower urinary tract, as well as the central nervous system. In this paper, we reviewed the current technological status to measure biomarker for closed-loop neuromodulation systems for voiding dysfunction.

무선 센서 네트워크는 실세계에서 발생하는 현상에 대한 다양한 응용 요구의 정보를 수집하기 위해 조밀하게 배치된 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 각 센서 노드들은 감지한 정보를 그들 간의 연산, 통신 등 협업 작업을 통하여 최종 사용자에게 전달한다. 일반적으로, 센서 노드들은 배터리 전력에 의존하기 때문에 정보를 수집하고 최종 사용자에게 전달하기 위한 전력 소비는 무선 센서 네트워크의 전체수명 기간을 좌우한다. 그러므로 각 센서의 에너지 수준을 고려한 최적의 라우팅 알고리즘은 전체시스템의 수명을 증대시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안된 방향성 확산, SPIN 등과는 다르게 각 센서 노드의 에너지 수준과 최단 흡 경로 정보를 이용하여 무선 센서 네트워크의 전체 수명 시간을 효율적으로 최대한 보장할 수 있는 저전력형 데이터 확산 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 이 기법은 질의 유포 과정에서 흡과 에너지 정보를 이용하여 데이터 전송 경로를 확립하고, 이벤트 발생 지역의 이웃 노드들로부터 수집된 정보는 동일한 데이터를 병합하여 최단의 전송 경로를 통하여 사용자에게 전송한다.

The characteristics of the Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) system are faster response, longer life time, more economical, and environment friendly than other Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) using battery. Fast charge and discharge time of SMES system can provide powerful performance of improving power quality in the grid. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of SMES, the authors make a 10kJ SMES system for connection with RTDS (Real Time Digital Simulator). Because the characteristics of superconducting magnet are very important in SMES system, the necessary items such as thermal characteristic, mechanical stress and protection circuit should be considered. In this paper, the authors experimented thermal characteristics of the 10kJ SMES system. The experiment was accomplished using a simulation coils made of aluminium. It has same dimension of the 10kJ class HTS SMES coil. The coil was cooled with GM (Gifford -McMahon) cryocooler through the OFHC (Oxgen Free High thermal Conductivity) conduction bar. The test results of cool down and heat loads characteristics of the simulation coils are described in detail.

Certainly, we are living in a true mobile society. At the end of 2014, approximately 40million 560thousand people are subscribed to smartphone services in Korea, using more than 2000MB of mobile data per a person. The use of smartphone is expected to increase. Moreover, smartphone moves toward becoming a requisite for modern people. Under the circumstances, high-speed communication services such as LTE provide high quality services anywhere and anytime and, furthermore, the development of high performances of the application makes the life patterns of modern people link directly to smartphone. Almost every day, new creative services are being introduced and the demands of on-line streaming services such as high-performance game and YouTube are increasing day after day. However, although smartphones are getting smarter and high quality services are rapidly growing, consumers still complain about the insufficient usage time caused by the capacity of batteries. In order to solve this problem, this thesis suggests EDLC(Electric Double-Layer Capacitor) uses as a supplemental power supply to keep the continuity of work while switching batteries. Through this approach, the running time of smartphone becomes longer as the number of batteries without power off and the purpose of this study is to maximize the convenience of using smartphone by eliminating the initialization of memories and the loss of time of rebooting while batteries are switched.

전자 부자 흐름 패턴 시스템은 위치 측위 기술과 여러 가지 통신 기술을 이용하여 원격에서 부자의 위치를 모니터링 함으로써 하천의 유량을 예측할 수 있다. 현재 자연하천의 흐름 패턴을 분석하기 위해 여러 형태의 수동 부자들이 사용되고 있다. 수동 부자를 이용한 유량 측정은 유량을 측정하기위해 거리와 시간을 직접 측정한 후 이것을 이용한다. 이러한 방법은 측정방법과 정확한 유량 측정 측면에서 효율적이지 못하다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 본 연구진은 CDMA, GPS 그리고 2.4GHz기반의 RF모듈을 이용하여 전자부자를 설계 및 구현했다. 그리고 전자부자의 위치정보와 흐름 패턴 정보를 알기 위한 모니터링 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 더불어 배터리로 동작하는 전자부자에서 짧은 life cycle은 전자부자를 이용한 흐름 패턴 시스템에서의 효용성을 떨어뜨린다. 이를 극복하기 위해 전자부자 흐름 패턴 시스템의 전자부자를 위한 전원 절약 기법을 설계하였다.
