무선 센서 네트워크에서는 다대일로 수렴하는 상향 트래픽의 특성으로 인해 네트워크의 혼잡이 빈번히 발생한다. 기존에 제안된 무선 센서 네트워크의 혼잡 제어 기법은 혼잡 발생 시 전송 주기 변경을 통해 혼잡을 회피할 수 있으나 MAC(Medium Access Control) 계층의 듀티사이클 동작에 대한 고려가 부족하였다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크의 혼잡 제어를 위하여 네트워크의 트래픽에 따라 센서 노드의 듀티사이클을 적응적으로 변화시키는 DCA(Duty-cycle Based Congestion Avoidance) 기법을 제안하였다. DCA 기법은 듀티사이클 조절을 이용하여 혼잡 발생 시 수신 노드의 패킷 수신율 증가를 통한 리소스 제어를 수행하고 송신 노드의 패킷 전송률 감소인 트래픽 제어를 수행하여 혼잡을 회피한다. 실험을 통해 DCA 기법은 듀티사이클 기반의 센서 네트워크에서 에너지 효율성으로 동작하며 혼잡 제어로 인해 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

안전한 플랜트 설비의 상태 감시 및 장애 진단을 위해 무선 센서를 이용한 플랜트 설비용 모니터링 시스템이 연구되고 있다. 플랜트 설비에서는 저전력 뿐만 아니라 안전사고와 직결된 긴급 상황시 실시간성도 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 플랜트 시설에서 지연시간 감소를 위한 동적 듀티사이클 조절 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 동적 듀티사이클 조절 기법은 센싱된 데이터 값의 긴급한 정도에 따라 미리 정의된 위험 그룹으로 구분하여 적응적으로 듀티사이클 주기를 조절한다. 실시간성을 평가하기 위해 고정 듀티사이클 기법과 동적 듀티사이클의 예상 지연시간을 확률적으로 분석하였다. 비교 결과, 플랜트 시설과 같이 이상 징후 발생 시 에너지를 소모하더라도 실시간성을 제공해야 하는 상황에서 제안 동적 듀티사이클 기법이 더 효과적임을 확인하였다.

Home automation networks are good environments for merging sensor networks and consumer electronics technologies. It is very important to reduce the energy consumption of each sensor node because sensor nodes operate with limited power based on a battery that cannot be easily replaced. One of the primary mechanisms for achieving low energy operation in energy-constrained wireless sensor networks is the duty-cycle operation, but this operation has several problems. For example, unnecessary energy consumption occurs during synchronization between transmission schedules and sleep schedules. In addition, a low duty-cycle usually causes more performance degradation, if the network becomes congested. Therefore, an appropriate control scheme is required to solve these problems. In this paper, we propose UDC (Unsynchronized Duty-cycle Control), which prevents energy waste caused by unnecessary preamble transmission and avoids congestion using duty-cycle adjustment. In addition, the scheme adjusts the starting point of the duty-cycle in order to reduce sleep delay. Our simulation results show that UDC improves the reliability and energy efficiency while reducing the end-to-end delay of the unsynchronized duty-cycled MAC (Media Access Control) protocol in sensor-based home automation networks.

The most dominate aspect in machine works using CNC devices in industrial production processes is the precision of the product and the Cycle Time. To this day, many studies on the external factors of the technology to reduce the Cycle Time have advanced amid to the advancements in cam soft development for manual programs and the numerous studies on high speed and precision machining. This study experimented various functions of the sequence pattern flow and arranged system development technologies of past few years to develop and applicate various usage of adjustment factors within the CNC, so it would be more understandable to the user and would enable them to make high speed and precision products more faster develop and. In order to reduce the Cycle Time, the mechanism of machine tools has to be analysed and applied, in addition to program reduction and improvement of the manufacture process.

High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) technique has been developed for more than 15 years. It is characterized by its ultra-high peak current and peak power density to obtain unique thin film properties, such as high hardness, good adhesion and tribological performance. However, its low deposition rate makes it hard to be applied in industries. In this work, the development of HiPIMS system and integration of radio frequency (RF) or mid-frequency (MF) power supplies were introduced. Effects of duty cycle and repetition frequency on the microstructure, mechanical property, optical and electrical properties of some binary, ternary and quarternary nitride coatings and oxide thin films were discussed. It can be observed that the deposition rate was effectively increased by the superimposed HiPIMS with RF or MF power. High hardness, good adhesion and sufficient wear resistance can be obtained through a proper adjustment of processing parameters of HiPIMS power system.

An experimental variable rate nursery sprayer was developed to adjust application rates for canopy volume in real time. The sprayer consisted of two vertical booms integrated with ultrasonic sensors, and variable rate nozzles coupled with pulse width modulation (PMW) based solenoid valves. A custom-designed microcontroller instructed the sensors to detect canopy size and occurrence and then controlled nozzles to achieve variable application rates. A spray delivery system, which consisted of diaphragm pump, pressure regulator and 4-cycle gasoline engine, offered the spray discharge function. Spray delay time, time adjustment in spray trigger for the leading distance of the sensor, was measured with a high-speed camera, and it was from 50 to 140 ms earlier than the desired time (398 ms) at 3.2 km/h under indoor conditions. Consequently, the sprayer triggered 4.5 to 12.5 cm prior to detected targets. Duty cycles of the sprayer were from 20 to 34 ms for senor-to-canopy (STC) distance from 0.30 to 0.76 m. Outdoor test confirmed that the nozzles were triggered from 290 to 380 ms after detecting tree canopy at 3.2 km/h. The spray rate of the new sprayer was 58.4 to 85.2% of the constant application rate (935 L/ha). Spray coverage was collected at four areas of evergreen canopy by water sensitive papers (WSP), and ranged from 1.9 to 41.1% and 1.8 to 34.7% for variable and constant rate applications, respectively. One WSP area had significant (P < 0.05) difference in mean spray coverage between two application conditions.
