Considering the localization estimation issue in mixed line-of-sight (LOS)/non-LOS(NLOS) environments based on received signal strength (RSS) measurements in wireless sensor networks, a grid-based correlation method based on the relationship between distance and RSS is proposed in this paper. The Maximum-Likelihood (ML) estimator is appended to further improve the localization accuracy. Furthermore, in order to reduce computation load and enhance performance, an improved recursively version with NLOS mitigation is also proposed. The most advantages of the proposed localization algorithm is that, it does not need any prior knowledge of the propagation model parameters and therefore does not need any offline calibration effort to calibrate the model parameters in harsh environments, which makes it more convenient for rapid implementation in practical applications. The simulation and experimental results evidence that the proposed localization algorithm exhibits good localization performance and flexibilities for different devices.

Spectrum sharing in centrally controlled cognitive radio (CR) networks has been widely studied, however, research on channel access for distributively controlled individual cognitive users has not been fully characterized. This paper conducts an analysis of random channel access of cognitive users controlled in a distributed manner in a CR network. Based on the proposed estimation method, each cognitive user can estimate the current channel condition by using its own Markov-chain model and can compute its own blocking probability, collision probability, and forced termination probability. Using the proposed scheme, CR with distributed control (CR-DC), CR devices can make self-controlled decisions based on the status estimations to adaptively control its system parameters to communicate better.

This paper has been researched bondability of electronics devices, such as lead frame and the thick film of Ag/Pd on an alumina substrate by different heat sources. To obtain the bonds with high quality, it is very important to consist of different materials. Therefore, this paper clarifies not only heat mechanism of micro parallel gap resistance bonding method and pulse heat tip bonding method but also investigates selection of heat sources with micro-electronic materials for bonding. Finally, it is realized fluxless bonding process with filler metal such as plating layers.

In copper metallization, resistivity of copper seed layer is very important. Conventionally MOCVD has been used for this purpose however electroless copper plating is simple process and the resistivity of copper deposit is less than that of copper prepared by MOCVD. In this study electroless copper plating was conducted on different substrate to find optimum conditions of electroless copper plating for electronic applications. To find optimum conditions, the effects and selectivity of activation method on several substrates were investigated. The effects of copper bath composition on morphology were investigated. The effects of pH and stabilizer on deposition rate were also investigated. The optimum pH of the bath was 12 with addition of stabilizer. The resistivity of copper was decreased with addition of stabilizer and alter heat treatment.

In this paper, an improved AE system for digital still camera is proposed. AE system is auto exposure system to maintain optimized brightness of output image. But there is limitation for mobile devices to get high quality image with the conventional AE algorithm, because of organizational restriction of system. The conventional research has been studied only electronic shutter and AGC on the AE algorithm. In this paper, we suggest new AE algorithm included target setting, frame delay, Gamma Correction as well as electronic shutter and AGC to get high quality image. The proposed algorithm show improved result at control speed and ability of luminance expression.

IoT is the network of physical objects or things embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer, operator or other connected devices. Until now many researches have been studied for centering keyword for detecting emerging technology of future and scientometric analysis among the papers. This paper propose searching method of emerging technology for the IOT (internet of things) which is recently interesting area via dynamic analysis for keyword mapping.

The $Pb(Zr_{0.4}Ti_{0.6})O_3/Pb(Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4})O_3$ [PZT(4060)/(6040)] heterolayered thin films were deposited by RF sputtering method on the $Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. The effects of the structural and dielectric properties of PZT heterolayered thin films were investigated. The MFM(Metal Ferroelectric Metal) type capacitors were made using the PZT(6040)/(4060) heterolayered thin films deposited with optimum deposition condition. An enhanced dielectric property was observed in the PZT(4060)/(6040) thin films. Investigating the dielectric constant and dielectric loss characteristics. the application for the next-generation dielectric thin films and memory devices were studied.

Devices of ITO/CdS/CdTe/Te/Al were prepared by Electron-Beam deposition under a vacuum of $7{\times}10^{-6}$[torr]. Optical, Electrical, Structural and Photovoltaic properties of thin film CdS/CdTe at substrate. temperature 300~500[$^{\circ}C$] were also investigated, The structure of CdTe films deposited was of the zincblende type a preferential orientation of the (111) plane parallel to the substrate, the CdTe dark resistivity was about $10^6[{\Omega}cm]$. The conversion, efficiency of the cell increased with increasing substrate temperature. The best-fabricated Cell was a conversion efficiency of 9.1[%].

We report a dramatic increase in the photo-stability of a blue-emitting polymer, poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene), achieved by the addition of gold nanoparticles to the polymer. The optical absorption band of gold nanoparticles is tuned to resonate the triplet exciton-ground state band gap energy of the polymer. The photo-oxidation rate of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) was drastically reduced by doping the polymer with a very small amount ($10^{-6}-10^{-5}$ volume fraction) of gold nanoparticles. The gold nanoparticles used herein act as the quenching agent of the triplet states and can be directly applied to various blue light emitting polymer thin film ( < 100 nm ) devices.
