As the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has expanded, digital forensics coverage of the National Police Agency has expanded to smart home areas. Accordingly, most of the existing studies conducted to acquire smart home platform data were mainly conducted to analyze local data of mobile devices and analyze network perspectives. However, meaningful data for evidence analysis is mainly stored on cloud storage on smart home platforms. Therefore, in this paper, we study how to acquire stored in the cloud in a Hey Home Air environment by extracting accessToken of user accounts through a cookie database of browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilia Firefox, and Opera, which are recorded on a PC when users use the Hey Home app-based "Hey Home Square" service. In this paper, the it was configured with smart temperature and humidity sensors, smart door sensors, and smart motion sensors, and artifacts such as temperature and humidity data by date and place, device list used, and motion detection records were collected. Information such as temperature and humidity at the time of the incident can be seen from the results of the artifact analysis and can be used in the forensic investigation process. In addition, the cloud data acquisition method using OpenAPI proposed in this paper excludes the possibility of modulation during the data collection process and uses the API method, so it follows the principle of integrity and reproducibility, which are the principles of digital forensics.

The effect of crystallinity on the structural stability of layered manganese oxide has been systematically investigated. While well-crystalline manganate was prepared by solid-state reaction-ion exchange method, nanocrystalline one was obtained by Chimie-Douce reaction at room temperature. According to micro-Raman and Mn K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopic results, manganese ions in both the manganese oxides are stabilized in the octahedral sites of the layered lattice consisting of edge-shared MnO6 octahedra. The differential potential plot clarifies that the layered structure of nanocrystalline material is well maintained during electrochemical cycling, in contrast to the well-crystalline homologue. From the micro-Raman results, it was found that delithiation-relithiation process for well-crystalline material gives rise to the structural transition from layered to spinel-type structure. On the basis of the present experimental findings, it can be concluded that nanocrystalline nature plays an important role in enhancing the structural stability of layered manganese oxides.

ZnO nanowires were synthesized by vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process using ZnO and graphite powders on the sapphire substrate coated with an Au film as a catalyst. ZnO nanowires had two prominent emission bands; i) near-band edge (NBE) emission band at 380 nm, and ii) a relatively stronger deep level (DL) emission band ($I_{NBE}/I_{DL}$ <1). In order for the ZnO nanowires to be utilized as an effective material for UV emitting devices, the photoluminescence intensity of NBE needs to be improved with the decreased intensity of DL. In the current study, hydrogen plasma treatment was performed to improve the photoluminescence characteristics of ZnO nanowires. With the hydrogen plasma treatment time of more than 120 sec, the extent of performance improvement was gradually decreased. However, the intensity ratio of NBE to DL ($I_{NBE}/I_{DL}$) was significantly improved to about 4 with a relatively short plasma treatment time of 90 sec, suggesting hydrogen plasma treatment is a promising approach to improve the photoluminescence properties of ZnO nanowires.

The effectiveness of two passive control techniques for alleviating the pressure oscillation generated in a supersonic cavity flow is investigated numerically. The passive devices suggested in the present research include a triangular bump and a sub-cavity installed near the upstream edge of a rectangular cavity. The supersonic cavity flow characteristics are examined by using the three-dimensional, unsteady Wavier-Stokes computation based on a finite volume scheme. Large eddy simulation (LES) is carried out to properly predict the turbulent features of cavity flow. The results show that the pressure oscillation near the downstream edge dominates overall time-dependent cavity pressure variations. Such an oscillation is attenuated more considerably using the sub-cavity compared with other methods, and a larger sub-cavity leads to better control performance.

In this paper, we propose a chromatic aberration removal algorithm in image capture devices, which considers local properties of the image. Chromatic aberration is generated by the fact that the refractive index of the lens is different for different wavelengths, which produces color artifacts on strong edge due to misalignment of RGB channels. Under the characteristics of the artifacts, the proposed algorithm first estimates the regions with the apparent color artifacts as the neighborhoods of the strong edge. In the regions, the proposed algorithm removes the color artifacts by matching the edges of RGB channels. The widely used conventional methods based on global image warping could not remove the color artifacts of longitudinal chromatic aberration and purple fringing identified by the image sensor, whereas the matching process of the proposed method could reduce them. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional methods on objective and subjective criteria.

The n-doping effect by doping metal carbonate into an electron-injecting organic layer can improve the device performance by the balanced carrier injection because an electron ohmic contact between cathode and an electron-transporting layer, for example, a high current density, a high efficiency, a high luminance, and a low power consumption. In the study, first, we investigated an electron-ohmic property of electron-only device, which has a ITO/$Rb_2CO_3$-doped $C_{60}$/Al structure. Second, we examined the I-V-L characteristics of all-ohmic OLEDs, which are glass/ITO/$MoO_x$-doped NPB (25%, 5 nm)/NPB (63 nm)/$Alq_3$ (32 nm)/$Rb_2CO_3$-doped $C_{60}$(y%, 10 nm)/Al. The $MoO_x$doped NPB and $Rb_2CO_3$-doped fullerene layer were used as the hole-ohmic contact and electron-ohmic contact layer in all-ohmic OLEDs, respectively, Third, the electronic structure of the $Rb_2CO_3$-doped $C_{60}$-doped interfaces were investigated by analyzing photoemission properties, such as x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), Ultraviolet Photoemission spectroscopy (UPS), and Near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy, as a doping concentration at the interfaces of $Rb_2CO_3$-doped fullerene are changed. Finally, the correlation between the device performance in all ohmic devices and the interfacial property of the $Rb_2CO_3$-doped $C_{60}$ thin film was discussed with an energy band diagram.

Although yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has provided a great vehicle for the study of spin waves in the past, associated difficulties in film deposition and device fabrication using YIG had limited the applicability of spin waves to practical devices. However, microfabrication techniques have made it possible to characterize both the resonant as well as the travelling characteristics of spin waves in permalloy (Py). A variety of methods have been used for measuring spin waves, including Brillouin light scattering (BLS), magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE), vector network analyzer ferromagnetic resonance (VNA-FMR), and pulse inductive microwave magnetometry (PIMM). PIMM is one of the most preferred methodologies of measuring travelling spin waves. In this method, an electrical impulse is applied at one of two coplanar waveguides patterned on top of oxide-insulated Py, producing a local disturbance in the magnetization of the Py. The resulting disturbance travels down the Py in the form of waves, and is inductively picked up by the other coplanar waveguide. We investigate the effect of the pulse width of excitation pulses on the generated spin wave packets using both experimental results and micromagnetic simulations. We show that spin wave packets generated from electrical pulses are a superposition of two separate spin wave packets, one generated from the rising edge and the other from the falling edge, which interfere either constructively or destructively with one another, depending upon the magnitude and direction of the field bias conditions. A method of spin wave amplitude modulation is also presented by the linear superposition of spin waves. We use interfering spin waves resulting from two closely spaced voltage impulses for the modulation of the magnitude of the resultant spin wave packets.

This paper presents a novel circuit topology of a DC bus line series switch and parallel snubbing capacitor-assisted soft-switching PWM full-bridge inverter type DC-DC power converter with a high frequency planar transformer link, which is newly developed for high performance arc welding machines in industry. The proposed DC-DC power converter circuit is based upon a voltage source-fed H type full-bridge soft-switching PWM inverter with a high frequency transformer. This DC-DC power converter has a single power semiconductor switching device in series with an input DC low side rail and loss less snubbing capacitor in parallel with the inverter bridge legs. All the active power switches in the full-bridge arms and DC bus line can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off transition commutation. Consequently, the total switching power losses occurred at turn-off switching transition of these power semiconductor devices; IGBTs can be reduced even in higher switching frequency bands ranging from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. The switching frequency of this DC-DC power converter using IGBT power modules can be realized at 60 kHz. It is proved experimentally by power loss analysis that the more the switching frequency increases, the more the proposed DC-DC power converter can achieve a higher control response performance and size miniaturization. The practical and inherent effectiveness of the new DC-DC converter topology proposed here is actually confirmed for low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies (32V, 300A) for TIG arc welding applications in industry.

Digital images acquired by digital devices are used in many fields. Applying statistical methods to the processing of images will increase speed and efficiency. Methods to remove noise and image quality have been researched as a basic operation of image processing. This paper proposes a novel reduction method that considers the direction and magnitude of the edge to remove image noise effectively using statistical methods. The proposed method estimates the brightness of pixels relative to pixels in the same direction based on a robust regression model. An estimate of pixel brightness is obtained by weighting the magnitude of the edge that improves the performance of the average filter. As a result of the simulation study, the proposed method retains pixels that are well-characterized and confirms that noise reduction performance is improved over conventional methods.

This paper proposes a single image dehazing that utilizes the transmission estimation with low complexity and the pixel-based JBDCP (Joint Bright and Dark Channel Prior) for the effective application of hazy outdoor images. The conventional transmission estimation includes the refinement process with high computational complexity and memory requirements. We propose the transmission estimation using combination of pixel- and block-based dark channel information and it significantly reduces the complexity while preserving the edge information accurately. Moreover, it is possible to estimate the transmission reflecting the image characteristics, by obtaining a different air-light for each pixel position of the image using the pixel-based JBDCP. Experimental results on various hazy images illustrate that the proposed method exhibits excellent dehazing performance with low complexity compared to the conventional methods; thus, it can be applied in various fields including real-time devices.
