The standard routing protocol of MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork), AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector), only considers the shortest path for routing, which may cause traffic concentration to a node at the critical path. Hence, the battery of the node will be dissipated rapidly to reduce the lifetime of the whole network. In this paper, power dissipation considered AODV is proposed for fair energy distribution in MANET, and verified using the computer simulation.

As the battery capacity requirement increases, battery cells are connected in a parallel configuration. However, the sharing current of each battery cell becomes unequal due to the imbalance between cell's impedance which results the mismatched states of charge (SOC). The conventional fixed-resistance balancing methods have a limitation in battery equalization performance and system efficiency. This paper proposes a battery equalization method based on dynamic resistance technique, which can improve equalization performance and reduce the loss dissipation. Based on the SOC rate of parallel connected battery cells, the switches in the equalization circuit are controlled to change the equivalent series impedance of the parallel branch, which regulates the current flow to maximize SOC utilization. To verify the method, operations of 4 parallel-connected 18650 Li-ion battery cells with 3.7V-2.6Ah individually are simulated on Matlab/Simulink. The results show that the SOCs are balanced within 1% difference with less power dissipation over the conventional method.

When surges and electromagnetic pulses from lightning or power conversion devices are considered, it is desirable to evaluate grounding system performance as grounding impedance. In the case of large-sized grounding electrodes or long counterpoises, the grounding impedance is increased with increasing the frequency of injected current. The grounding impedance is increased by the inductance of grounding electrodes. This paper presents the measured results of frequency-dependent grounding impedance and impedance phase as a function of the length of counterpoises. In order to analyze the frequency-dependent grounding impedance of the counterpoises, the frequency-dependent current dissipation rates were measured and simulated by the distributed parameter circuit model reflecting the frequency-dependent relative resistivity and permittivity of soil. As a result, the ground current dissipation rate is proportional to the soil resistivity near the counterpoises in a low frequency. On the other hand, the ground current dissipation near the injection point is increased as the frequency of injected current increases. Since the high frequency ground current cannot reach the far end of long counterpoise, the grounding impedance of long counterpoise approaches that of the short one in the high frequency. The results obtained from this work could be applied in design of grounding systems.

Current progress in the development of semiconductor technology in applications involving high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) and power devices is hindered by the lack of adequate ways todissipate heat generated during device operation. Concurrently, electronic devices that use gallium nitride (GaN) substrates do not perform well, because of the poor heat dissipation of the substrate. Suggested alternatives for overcoming these limitations include integration of high thermal conductivity material like diamond near the active device areas. This study will address a critical development in the art of GaN on diamond (GOD) structure by designing for ideal heat dissipation, in order to create apathway with the least thermal resistance and to improve the overall ease of integrating diamond heat spreaders into future electronic devices. This research has been carried out by means of heat transfer simulation, which has been successfully demonstrated by a finite-element method.

This study investigated the heat dissipation characteristics of a heat-sensitive LED. More than 80% of the power supply is converted into heat energy, which has a fatal impact on the lifetime of the LED. Therefore, the effective heat dissipation characteristics of a heatsink, such as a 30W floodlight, through forced convection were grasped and the heat transfer characteristics were tested. As a result, it was confirmed that the smaller the number of fins, the more the temperature distribution varies according to the wind velocity. In addition, the larger the number of fins, the smaller the temperature difference according to the wind velocity. Therefore, it was found through this experiment that excellent heat dissipation performance was exhibited as the heat dissipation area and wind velocity increased.

In this study, we employed a small-scale experiment to demonstrate the introduction of a thin copper heat dissipation plate into a bentonite buffer layer of an engineered barrier system. This experiment designed for spent nuclear fuel disposal can effectively reduce the maximum temperature of the bentonite buffer layer, and ultimately, make it possible to reduce the area of the disposal site. For the experiment, a small-scale engineered barrier system with a copper heat dissipation plate was designed and manufactured. the thickness of the cylindrical buffer was about 2 cm, which was about 1/20 of KAERI Repository System (KRS). At a power supply of 250 W, the maximum buffer temperature reduced to a mere 1.8℃ when the thin copper plate was introduced. However, the maximum surface temperature reduced to a remarkable 9.1℃, when a U-collar copper plate was introduced, which had a good contact with the other barrier layers. Consequently, we conclude that the introduction of the thin copper plate into the engineered barrier system for spent nuclear fuel disposal can effectively reduce the maximum buffer temperature in high-level radioactive waste disposal repositories.

In this paper, A low-power MOS monolithic peak detector is presented. Designed for monolithic and low-power characteristics, this MOS peak detector can be integrated easily on the same chip as a module of large communication systems. The simulation results of this peak detector which was composed with four NMOSs and two capacitors show the power dissipation of 0.972㎽ and the good operations for 2㎓ operating pulse frequency. Therefore, it may be used as a functional block for various signal processing systems.

This paper presents the method of low power optimization considering the glitch reduction in CMOS circuits. Our algorithm utilizes the information of MOS size, the load capacitance of fan-out, and input slew to calculate the output waveform by using the linear signal model. Therefore, the accurate waveform of glitch can be obtained for estimation of power dissipation caused by glitches. Our algorithm is applied to ISCAS’85 benchmark circuits and experimental results show 23% glitch reduction and 11% total power reduction.

Oxides of the form Mn$_{4}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO present properties that make them useful as power NTC thermistor for current limited. Electrical properties of Mn$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO power NTC thermistor such as I-V characteristics tim constant activation energy and heat dissipation coefficient measured as a function of temperature and composition. In Mn$_{4}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO system with the 5wt% addition of Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$ it can be seen that resistivity and B-constant were increased as the ratio of ZnO/Mn$_{3}$/O$_{4}$ was increased. Heat dissipation constant, I-V characteristics and time constant showed similar behaviour compared with those of conventional thermistors. In particular resistance change ratio ($\Delta$R) the important factor for reliability varied within $\pm$5% indicating the compositions of these products could be available for power thermistor.
