In this paper, a new mobile robot, so called a rollerbot, is presented, which has single body and rugby-ball shaped roller wheel. A rollerbot has single point contact on ground and low energy consumption in motion because of the reduced friction. By changing center of mass using a balancing weight, a rollerbot is able to get steering force. The vertical position of mass center of the rollerbot in this paper is designed to lie inside radius of the roller wheel, so that to have stable equilibrium position. Thus, the posture and the steering control of the rollerbot can be easily done by changing the center of mass. Kinematics of the rollerbot is derived by transformation of differential motion in this paper.

유비쿼터스 센서네트워크는 외부 전원에 연결되지 않고 자체 밧데리로 동작하므로 에너지의 효율적 활용을 통해 네트워크 수명을 극대화하는 것이 요구된다. 기존의 홉수 기반의 라우팅 프로토콜에서는 대부분 노드들은 일정한 송신전력을 기반으로 하여 라우팅 프로토콜이 설계되었다. 본 논문에서는 노드의 잔여전력에 따라 송신전력을 제어하도록 함으로써 노드간의 전력소모의 균형을 이루도록 하여 네트워크의 수명을 연장시키는 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통한 제안되 라우팅 프로토콜의 성능을 비교분석하였다.

In this paper, a charge equalization converter with parallel-connected primary windings of transformers is proposed. The proposed work effectively balances the voltage among Lithium-Ion battery cells despite each battery cell has low voltage gap compared with its state of charge (SOC). The principle of the proposed work is that the equalizing energy from all battery strings moves to the lowest voltage battery through the isolated dc/dc converter controlled by the corresponding solid state relay switch. For this research a prototype of four Lithium-Ion battery cells is optimally designed and implemented, and experimental results show that the proposed method has excellent cell balancing performance.

A wireless sensor network is the combination of a large number of deployed sensors over an area. Communication between the sensors is the most important factor for a successful sensor network. It is mandatory that long distance and multi-hop communication will occur between sensors. Generally sensors relay the sensed data of a particular territory to the command center via a base station. For the non uniformed deployment of sensors many sensors may deploy in hostile areas surrounded by full of obstacles or in other condition it may be out of the direct communication range of the base station. It seems a critical problem for routing data to and from those sensors to the base station. This paper proposes a route management scheme using a dynamic load balancing approach based on residual energy of each agent sensors.

Flow quantity to supply to a coil in floor heating system is important to achieve comfortable indoor air condition in the winter season. The hot water header is used to distribute the water into the coil. Experimental study has been performed using the water header that have 5 branches consisted of flow control valves and automatic shut-off valves. Each branch line connected it with X-L pipe. Experimental tests accomplished it to investigate the flow distribution characteristics of the hot water header. Experimental results show that the selection of the pump head and differential pressure are very important to save running energy of the system, and high differential pressure needs more friction loss in the case of suitable differential pressure for balancing of the header.

We are interested in this paper on the control of an electromechanical system consisting of a doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG), driven by a prime mover that can supply or extract mechanical power, e.g., a flywheel inertia, and an induction motor(IM). The stator of the Induction machine is connected to the stator of the generator whose rotor voltage is regulated by a bidirectional converter. The main interest of this configuration is that it permits a bidirectional power flow between the motor, which may operate in regenerative mode, and the generator We propose a passivity-based controller to regulate the motor mechanical speed. Since this kind of controllers achieve stabilization via energy balancing, regulation of the power flow in the system is naturally incorporated. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the main points of our paper.

무선 ad-hoc 네트워크 환경에서 이동 호스트의 에너지는 중요한 요소로 간주된다. 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크에서는 이동 호스트들이 라우팅 역할을 수행해야 하므로 네트워크 구조와 노드들의 위치에 따라 각 노드들의 라우팅 역할수해에 필요한 에너지의 양에 차이가 있게 된다. 즉, 메시지가 자주 전송되는 경로에 있는 노드들은 라우팅 역할을 수행하면서 많은 에너지를 소비하게 되고, 메시지가 적게 전송되는 경로에 있는 노드들은 상대적으로 적은 에너지를 소비하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 에너지가 적은 노드의 라우팅 역할을 에너지가 많은 노드로 전이시켜 에너지가 적은 노드의 라우팅 에너지 소비를 줄이는 기법을 제안한다. 본 제안 기법에서는 특정 노드의 라우팅 역할을 다른 노드로 전이할 때 부가적인 지역 메시지의 송수신이 필요하게 되어 전이 프로토콜에 참여하는 노드들의 에너지 소비가 전체적으로 증가될 수 있다. 하지만, 이 기법은 전체 시스템에 존재하는 노드들의 에너지 양을 균등화시킴으로서 라우팅으로 인한 에너지 소비가 많은 노드의 수명을 연장시킬 수 있게 하여, 상대적으로 많은 노드들이 라우팅에 오랫동안 참여할 수 있게 하고 시스템의 성능과 수명을 향상시킬 수 있게 한다.

The problem of constrained sequencing of a set of jobs on a conveyor system with the objective of minimizing setup cost is investigated in this paper. A setup cost is associated with extra material, labor, or energy required due to the change of attributes in consecutive jobs at processing stations. A finite set of attributes is considered in this research. Sequencing is constrained by the availability of conveyor junctions. The problem is motivated by the paint purge reduction problem at a major U.S. automotive manufacturer. We first model a diverging junction with a sequence-independent setup cost and predefined attributes as an assignment problem and this model is then extended for a more general situation by relaxing the initial assumptions in various ways.
