Energy consumption of sensor nodes is minimized because it has limited energy generator in wireless sensor network. Electronic shelf label system is one of application fields using wireless sensor networks. Battery size of small apparatus for displaying price is restricted. Therefore its current consumption have to be minimized. Furthermore the method for minimization of peak current would be considered because life cycle of coin battery used to display or RF is vulnerable to intensity of drain current. In this paper, we analyze current consumption pattern of low-power electronic shelf label system. Then we propose the method for minimization of current consumption by modification of software and hardware. Current consumption of the system using proposed method are approximately 15 to 20 percent lower than existing system and the life cycle of the system is approximately 10 percent higher than existing system.

The purpose of this study was to understand current food consumption phenomena in the context of Korea's consumption culture and economy. For this purpose, food consumption phenomena and the underlying meaning of consumption culture were investigated. The study indicated that current food consumption phenomena were characterized by increased eating habits away from home, consuming more fast food and processed foods, westernized diet, eager for taste, and overwhelming well-being products, which could result in environmental problems as well as malign physical and mental defects. It was argued that current food consumption phenomena had been mainly affected by the commercial food industry and consumers' cultural consideration. Finally, this paper discussed several approaches to motivate consumers' awareness and how to change their food consumption culture, and further government policy efforts.

This paper presents an experiment on the modeling, analysis, prediction and optimization of machining parameters used during the turning process of the low-carbon steel known as ST40. The parameters used to develop the model are the cutting speed, the feed rate, and the depth of the cut. The experiments were carried out under various conditions, with three level of parameters and two different treatments for each level (with and without a lubricant), to determine the effects of the parameters on the surface roughness and electric current consumption. These effects were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). A second-order model is used to predict the values of the surface roughness and the electric current consumption from the results of experiments which collected preliminary data. The results of the experiment and the predictions of the surface roughness and electric current consumption under both treatments were found to be nearly identical. This result shows that the feed rate is the main factor that influences the surface roughness and electric current consumption.

In order to improve the current efficiency and reduce the energy consumption in the electrosynthesis of ammonium persulfate, electrolytic properties of a perfluorosulfonic cation exchange membrane named PGN membrane and the $Al_2O_3$ ceramic membrane in the electrosynthesis of ammonium persulfate were studied and compared in a pilot electrolytic cell using a welded platinum titanium as the anode and a Pb-Sb alloy as the cathode. The effect of cell voltage, electrolyte flow rate and electrolysis time of the electrolytes on the current efficiency and the energy consumption were studied. The results indicated that the PGN membrane could improve current efficiency to 95.12% and reduce energy consumption to $1110kWh\;t^{-1}$ (energy consumption per ton of the ammonium persulfate generated) under the optimal operating conditions and the highest current efficiency of the $Al_2O_3$ ceramic membrane was 72.61% with its lowest energy consumption of $1779kWh\;t^{-1}$. Among 5 times of the electrolysis of the electrolytes, the lowest current efficiency of the PGN membrane was 85.25% with the highest energy consumption of $1244kWh\;t^{-1}$ while the lowest current efficiency of the $Al_2O_3$ ceramic membrane was 67.44% with the highest energy consumption of $1915kWh\;t^{-1}$, which suggested the PGN membrane could be used in the 5-stage electrolytic cell for the industrially continuous electrosynthesis of ammonium persulfate. Therefore the PGN membrane can be efficient to improve the current efficiency and reduce the energy consumption and can be applied in the industrial electrosynthesis of ammonium persulfate.

This paper proposes a method for reducing the amount of current consumption by the transceiver based remote control and the ZigBee RF4CE network layer step. We have studied how to improve power efficiency at short transition time through duty rate management. Also, comparing the measured current consumption before and after the improvement, we confirmed the correlation between the data transmission speed improvement and the current reduction.

본 논문에서는 임베디드 시스템에서 사용되는 대표적 저전력 마이크로컨트롤러인 ATmega128을 대상으로 명령어 레벨의 소모전류를 측정, 모델링하였다. 마이크로컨트롤러가 소모하는 전류는 메모리의 접근 유무에 의해 차이가 나며, 메모리 접근 명령어가 메모리 비접근 명령어에 비해 내부 메모리 기준으로 17% 더 높은 전류소모를 나타낸다. 프로그램의 메모리 접근 명령어 사용빈도가 높을수록, 메모리 계층구조에서 낮은 계층의 정보를 접근할수록 프로그램의 전력소모는 비례한다고 관찰된다. 본 논문에서는 명령어 레벨의 소모전류모델화를 통하여 실제 프로그램의 전력소모를 예측, 분석하고 메모리 접근 명령어의 비율을 줄이는 방향으로 프로그램의 전력소모를 최적화한다. 또한 마이크로컨트롤러 기반 시스템에서 프로그램 실행 전력을 최적화할 수 있는 기법을 하드웨어와 소프트웨어 측면에서 다양하게 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 고속 동작에서 동적 전력 소비와 정적 전력 소비를 동시에 줄일 수 있는 self-timed current-mode Logic(STCML)을 제안한다. 제안된 로직 스타일은 펄스 신호로 가상 접지를 방전하여 로직 게이트의 누설 전류(subthreshold leakage current)를 획기적으로 감소시켰다. 또한, 본 로직은 개선된 self-timing buffer를 사용하여 동적모드 동작 시 발생되는 단락 회로 전류(short-circuit current)를 최소화하였다. 80-nm CMOS 공정을 이용하여 실시한 비교 실험 결과, 제안된 로직 스타일은 기존의 대표적인 current-mode logic인 DyCML에 비하여 동일한 시간 지연에서 26 배의 누설 전력 소비를 줄이고 27%의 동적 전력 소비를 줄일 수 있었다. 또한, 대표적인 디지털 로직 스타일인 DCVS와의 비교 결과, 59%의 누설 전력 소비감소 효과가 있었다.

In recent years, energy consumption in the transportation sector by expanding motorization continues to increase in almost every country in the world. Moreover, the growth rate of the transportation energy consumption is significantly higher than those of the civilian and industrial sectors. Therefore, every country strives to reduce its dependence on private transport, which is the main contributor to the transportation energy consumption. In many countries, concepts such as Transit Oriented Development (TOD) or New Urbanism, which controls road traffic by increasing the proportion of the public transportation significantly, have been implemented to encourage a modal shift to public transport. However, the level of change required for eliminating environmental problems is a challenging task. Minimizing transportation energy consumption by controlling the increase of the traffic demand and maintaining the level of urban mobility simultaneously is a pressing dilemma for each city. Grasping the impact of the diversity of the urban transport and infrastructure is very important to improve transportation energy efficiency. However, the potential for reducing urban transportation energy consumption has often been ineffectively demonstrated by the diversity of cities. Therefore, the accuracy of evaluating the current efficiency rate of the urban energy consumption is necessary. Nevertheless, quantitative analyses related to the efficiency of transportation energy consumption are scarce, and the research on the current condition of consumption efficiency based on international quantitative analysis is almost nonexistent. On the basis of this background problem definitions, this research first built a database of the transportation energy consumption of private modes in 119 cities, with an attempt to reflect individual travel behaviors calculated by Person Trip data. Subsequently, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used as an assessment method to evaluate the efficiency of transportation energy consumption by considering the diversity of the urban traffic features in the world cities. Finally, we clarified the current condition of consumption efficiency by attempting to propose a target values for improving transportation energy consumption.
