This paper proposes a resource allocation scheme suitable for D2D communications in multi-cell environment. In order to solve the inter-cell interference, the proposed scheme allocates the pre-assigned resource group and shares the information with neighbor cells. This paper also proposes a power control scheme for D2D communication to enhance the cell throughput. By the simulation results, the average SINR of the cellular uplink and D2D communication link are mostly higher than 10 dB when the proposed scheme is applied. On the other hand, with the inter-cell non-coordinated resource allocation scheme, the average SINR of the D2D communication link are decreased by 0 dB. In addition, the proposed scheme can enhance the cell throughput up to 8 % compared with the inter-cell non-coordinated resource allocation scheme.

Planting, transplanting, and harvesting are important processes for the successful production of farm products in Korea because those require the high labor intensity during limitted period. Recently, many researches of using automatic control with a microcomputer are carried in the agricultural field, but are not much spread to the seeder development. Automatic sowing technology would be much attractive if there was a way to assure that each seed was count accurately in the seed metering device. Thus, an automatic seed metering device was designed and constructed to be controlled by microcomputer. This device could be improved in not only counting the number of seeds in but also sowing seeds between row spacings. Automatic seed metering device consisted of conveyor belt and temporary storage device. Performance of seed metering device depends on the apparatus including sensor, stepping motor and DC-solenoid. Research contents and results are summarized as follows. 1. The seed metering device involving seed hopper, sorter and temporary storage device was designed and constructed. 2. A seed counting system with six photo electric sensors, designed and built for this project, was adequate for tranferring and counting seeds accurately. 3. Operating algorithm for stepping motor and photo electric DC-solenoid was developed. The Seed metering device proved to be a smooth and accurate operating device using the algorithm. 4. The performance of second prototype metering device was examined with five kinds of seeds ; mung beans, red beans, white beans, black beans and corn to transfer and count the seeds. The error ratio of seed metering was less than 3.5%.

Trusses are found in many common structures such as bridges and buildings. The truss is a fundamental design element in engineering structures and it is important for an engineer to apply the truss design to engineering structures by understanding the mechanics of truss element. In an experimental course, the experiment selves as an example of the usefulness of the Wheatstone bridge in amplifying the output of a transducer. With the apparatus described here, it is possible to obtain experimental measurements of forces in a truss member which agree within errors to predictions from elementary mechanics. The apparatus is inexpensive, easy to operate, and suitable as either a classroom demonstration or student laboratory experiment. This device is a small table-top experiment. The conventional strain measuring device is costly and complicated - it is not simple to understand its structure. Hence, strain gage and the A/D converter are assembled to come up with a load and a strain measuring device. The device was tested for measuring the strain in a loaded specimen and the results were compared to those predicted by theory of mechanics.

We study an efficient transmission protocol for the cellular-aided device-to-device communication model. In particular, two source-destination pairs communicate with the help of unlink and downlink cellular links. For the proposed scheme, two transmitters send their messages and the base station and two receivers receive at the first phase. Then, at the second phase, the base station sends the XOR of the messages to two receivers and they try to decode their own messages from the received signals after the first and second phases. We analyze the outage-based throughput achievable by the proposed scheme and demonstrate by simulations that the proposed scheme provides an improved outage performance compared to the conventional device-to-device communication schemes.

One of the important processes in device-to-device communication is the discovery of proximate devices. In order to perform precise discovery of devices, the distance information among all the device pairs should be gathered by each device sending a discovery signal in turn and the other devices receiving the signal. However, periodic discovery signal transmission by every device might require too long discovery period or too large resource for discovery. Above all, some discovery information might be lost due to several practical reasons and it may take substantial amount of time to obtain all the necessary information. In this paper, we propose a proximate-device-discovery method using partial discovery information in order to reduce the resource for discovery and support the cases in which some discovery information can be lost. We also discuss discovery probabilities with partial discovery information.

Flexible electronics, a future technology of electronics, require a low cost integrated circuit that can be built on various types of the flexible substrates. As a potential candidate for this application, a single walled carbon nanotube network is studied as an active device with a scheme of thin film transistor. Transistors are formed on a plastic foil by the Roll-to-Roll (R2R) and the Roll-to-Device (R2D) printing method. For both printing methods, electrical transports for the transistors are presented with the temperature dependence of threshold voltage (V_Th) and mobility from the measured transfer curves at temperatures ranging from 10 K to 300 K. It is observed that ${\mu}=0.044cm^2/V{\cdot}sec$ and V_Th=7.28V for R2R and ${\mu}=0.025cm^2/V{\cdot}sec$ and V_Th=3.10V for R2D, both for the temperature at 300K. Temperature dependence of mobility and V_Th is observed. However for R2R, the temperature dependence of V_Th is constant. It is the difference between, R2R and R2D.

The rapid growth of high speed multimedia services demands the large capacity of the server's storage that maintains the multimedia contents. Among the server's devices, the low I/O speed and physical or logical failure of storage device decrease the total performance of system. The continuous increase of multimedia contents require the flexibility of storage capacity. In order to solve the these problems, we propose the uses of software RAID and LVM techniques that provide the performance improvement and reliability of storage device and the flexibility of storage device respectively. In the LINUX 2.4 kernel, we implemented the reliable and flexible storage device and evaluated the performance of it.

D2D(Device-to-Device) communication is a promising technology to improve the system capacity and spectral efficiency. By sharing the same radio resources with cellular user equipments, D2D communications can significantly enhance the overall spectral efficiency. However, it may cause interference between D2D link and cellular link. So, careful resource allocation and interference coordination between them are very important and need to be properly handled. This paper proposes a radio resource allocation scheme that decreases interference through the use of area grouping and D2D pair grouping. Simulations results are provided to verify the performance improvement of the proposed scheme in terms of the number of assigned resource blocks and computational complexity.

A gaseous oxygen detector has been developed in a configuration of Pd-$SnO_x$-$Si_3N_4$-$SiO_2$-Si-Al with highly resistive $SnO_x$ layer as the oxygen adsorptive element. In this paper, we present the characteristics of the device in response to oxygen adsoption/desorption under applied d.c. bias. Experimental results showed that the oxygen adsorptive response by the device was reduced significantly under a positive gate bias, for all experimental regions of $O_2$ partial pressure. On the other hand, the application of a negative gate bias increased the device's adsorptive response of oxgyen. A device model concerning this electroadsorption/desorption behavior of the device is provided.

In the past two years, all sectors of society have been underdeveloped and suffered a significant damage due to COVID-19. In particular, people who were working in many areas of research were unable to do anything due to restrictions on meetings with people and social distancing. The purpose of this study is to develop a social distancing device that allows users to maintain the distance in accordance with the government guidelines through an analysis of people's social distancing methods in the COVID-19 society through UX Design. In order to develop the social distancing device, the distance is expressed by changing the color of LED based on research related to UI design such as ultrasonic distance sensor, battery, charging method, distance display method, etc. The outer form of the social distancing device is designed using 3D, the device is developed by installing ultrasonic distance sensor, neo-pixel module and Arduino after printing a prototype using a 3D printer, and this device is tested to develop a final product that helps the social distancing practice amid COVID-19.
