In this paper, the optimal value of optical phase conjugator (OPC) position and the optimal values of dispersion coefficients of fiber sections for the best compensation of the distorted WDM signals with frequency chirp of -1 are induced to alternate with the symmetrical distributions of power and local dispersion with respect to OPC, which is difficult to form in real optical link due to fiber attenuation in mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI) technique. It is confirmed that the Q-factors of total channels of -18.5 dBm launching light power exceed 16.9 dB, which value corresponds to 10-12 BER, by applying the induced optimal parameter values into 16 channels ${\times}$ 40 Gbps WDM system, on the other hand the Q-factors of only 9 channels exceed that value in WDM system with the conventional MSSI technique. Thus, it is expected to expand the availability of OPC in WDM system through the using of the optimal parameter values that are induced by the proposed method in this paper, without the symmetrical distributions of power and local dispersion.

This paper proposes a design and experiment of three phase interleaved dc-dc converter for 5kW battery charger. The charger consists of a three-phase interleaved dc-dc converter, which interfaces batteries and DC link, and a grid connected inverter. Lead-acid battery is modeled in a simple R-C model by matlab. Parameters of the battery are estimated based on step current discharging test. The battery is connected to three-phase interleaved DC-DC converter in order to reduce the ripple current to the battery and so, increase the lifetime of battery. Controller for charging and discharging mode is designed and tested in a 5kW charger prototype.

This paper describes the autonomous operation analysis of DC microgrid based on droop control. In order to verify the whole system operation, detailed simulation models for wind power generation, solar power generation, and battery were developed with user-defined models programmed with C-code in PSCAD/ EMTDC software. The simulation results confirm that the DC microgrid with droop control make it feasible to provide power to the load with stable manner. Based on simulation results a prototype of DC microgrid was built and tested in the lab to verify the autonomous operation experimentally. The droop control scheme can suppress the circulating current, and offers each unit to be controlled autonomously without any communication link.

In this paper, we propose the new rate-based transmission rates control algorithm that allocates the fair band-width for ABR service in ATM network. In the traditional ABR service, bandwidth is allocated with constant rate increment or decrement, but in the proposed algorithm, it is allocated fairly to the connected calls by the fuzzy inference of the available bandwidth. The fuzzy inference uses buffer state and the buffer variant rate as the input variables, and uses the total transmission rate as a output variable. This inference a bandwidth is fairly distributed over all ABR calls in service. By simmulation, we showed that the proposed method improved 0.17% in link effectiveness when RIF, RDF is 1/4, 38.6% when RIF, RDF 1/16, and 82.4% when RIF, RDF 1/32 than that of the traditional EFPCA.

In this paper describes the research and development of a pipe robot for pipe rehabilitation construction of old water pipes. After the water supply pipe construction, the pipe is leaking, damaged, and aging due to corrosion. Eventually, resistance to the flow of water in lower supply efficiency and contaminated water such as rusty water, finally in various consumer complaints. In order to solve this problem, rehabilitation construction robot technology is required to secure the construction quality of pipe rehabilitation construction and restore the function of the initial construction period. The developed pipe rehabilitation construction robot required a hydraulic actuator for high traction and was equipped with a small hydraulic supply device. In addition, we have developed a hydraulic cylinder and a link system that supports the pipe inner diameter to develop a single pipe robot corresponding to 500 to 800mm pipe diameter. The analysis and experimental verification of the driving performance and unit function of the developed pipe reconstruction robot are explained, and the result of the integrated performance test of the pipe reconstruction robot at the water supply pipe network site is explained.

This paper investigates the seismic response of a typical non-navigable continuous girder bridge isolated with friction sliding bearings of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao link projects in China. The effectiveness of the friction pendulum system (FPS) and accuracy of the numerical model were evaluated by a 1/20 scaled bridge model using shaking table tests. Based on the hysteretic properties of friction pendulum system (FPS), double concave friction pendulum (DCFP), and triple friction pendulum system (TFPS), seismic response analyses of isolated bridges with the three sliding-type bearings are systematically carried out considering soil-pile interaction under offshore soft clay conditions. The fast nonlinear analysis (FNA) method and response spectrum are employed to investigate the seismic response of isolated offshore bridge structures. The numerical results show that the implementation of the three sliding-type bearings effectively reduce the base shear and bending moment of the reinforced concrete pier, at the cost of increasing the absolute displacement of the bridge superstructure. Furthermore, the TFPS and DCFP bearings show better isolation effect than FPS bearing for the example continuous girder bridge.

Previous binding update protocols for Mobile IPv6 repeats the same protocol each time a mobile node moves to a foreign link Moreover, mobile nodes repeats the same protocol whenever the lifetime of the current binding update expires. To improve the efficiency of binding updates, we Propose a ticket-based binding update protocol for MIPv6. Our protocol minimizes the binding update cost using a ticket issued by the corresponding node. We have analyzed our protocol security against the security requirements of MIPv6 and existing attacks. Furthermore, we have also compared our protocol against previous binding update protocols.

The utilisation of small drones is becoming increasingly widespread particularly in the military sector. In this study, STANAG 4586, a standard interface for military unmanned aerial vehicles, was applied to a multicopter-type small drone to examine the suitability of the military system. To accomplish this, a small multi-copter vehicle was designed and manufactured, integrating a flight control computer, ground control system, and data link. Furthermore, flight control and ground control equipment software were developed by applying the STANAG 4586 interface, followed by HILS and flight tests.

The efficienty of ATM is based on the statical multiplexing of fixed-length packets, which are called cells. The most important technical point for realizing ATM switching network is an arrangement of the buffers and switches. Current most ATM switching networks are being achieved by using the switching modules based on the unit switch of $8{\times}8$ 150Mb/s or $16{\times}16$ 150Mb/s, the unit switch of $32{\times}32$150Mb/s for a large scale system is under study in many countries. In this paper, we proposed a new $32{\times}32$(4.9Gb/s throughput) ATM switch using Shared buffer memory switch which provides superior traffic characteristics in the cell loss, delay and throughput performance and easy LSI(Large Scale Integrated circuit). We analytically estimated and simulated by computer the buffer size into it. We also proposed the configuration of the large capacity ATM switching network($M{\times}M$.M>1,000) consisting of multistage to improve the link speed by non-blocking.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer related death overall. The role of insulin resistance in the development of HCC associated with chronic HCV infection has not been established. Resistin is a polypeptide hormone belonging to the adipokine family which could contribute to tumorigenesis and angiogenesis. Our aim was to study serum resistin and insulin resistance as risk factors for HCC in HCV cirrhotic patients. Materials and Methods: This prospective case controlled study included 100 patients with HCV related liver cirrhosis and HCC, 100 patients with HCV related liver cirrhosis without HCC and 50 apparently healthy participants as controls. For all subjects, liver profile, serologic markers for viral hepatitis, lipid profile, alpha-fetoprotein level (AFP), homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) were examined along with resistin. Results: HCC patients had higher mean values of HOMA-IR and resistin than cirrhotic patients and the control subjects (p<0.01). HOMA and resistin were considered independent risk factors in development of HCC, those patients with resistin > 12 ng/ml and HOMA > 4 being 1.6 times more likely to have HCC. Conclusions: HOMA and serum resistin allow for early identification of patients with cirrhosiswho are at substantially increased risk of HCC. Recommendation: HOMA and serum resistin could represent novel markers to identify HCV cirrhotic patients at greater risk of development of HCC.
