A numerical investigation was made to examine characteristics of rectangular pontoon type floating breakwaters in oblique waves. Sway and heave wave exciting forces, roll moment acting on the floating breakwater and three motion reponses decrease as the incident wave angle increases for the most of the wave ranges. There exists a minimum wave transmission coefficient which is a function of wave frequency. In short wave range wave transmission coefficient increases as the incident wave angle increases. In long wave range, however, wave transmission coefficient decreases as the wave incident angle increases.

Recently, research and development for next-generation mobile communication and short-range wireless communication has begun worldwide along with the provision of commercial services of 5G mobile communication technology. In response to this trend, the THz band has attracted considerable attention as a frequency band for transmitting 100 Gbps of large-capacity wireless data. For communication in the THz band, research and development of approaches based on photonics and electronics is being actively performed; the configurations, characteristics, and performances of these two methods for THz transmission have been seriously examined. Among them, we reviewed the technical issues in implementing THz wireless transmission technology using photonics technology. We also introduced the Electronic and Telecommunications Research Institute's (ETRI) development of photonics-based THz short-range transmission technology starting from 2019 and including some initial results. In the near future, 100 Gbps high-capacity wireless data transmission technology utilizing photonics technology is expected to be commercially available and applied to various applications, such as 3D hologram transmission, uncompressed large capacity medical data transmission, and multiple augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR).

Wireless power transmission (WPT) is useful technology in near future. There are some kinds of the WPT technologies, WPT via radio waves, resonance coupling, and inductive. Especially the WPT via radio waves is used for multi-purposes from short range to long range application. However, unfortunately it is misunderstood that it is low efficiency and low power. In this paper, I show the theory of beam efficiency between transmitting antennas and receiving antennas and also show some high efficient applications of the WPT via radio waves. Especially, I pick up a wireless power charging system of an electric vehicle and show the experimental results. I show difference between the theory of beam efficiency and the experimental results of short range WPT. I indicate that reasons of poor beam efficiency in the experiment are (1) change of impedance caused by mutual coupling between transmitting antennas and receiving antennas, (2) oblique direction of microwave power to receiving antennas caused by short distance.

본 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크의 계층형 라우팅 프로토콜 중 대표적인 알고리즘인 LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)의 원거리 전송 시의 에너지 효율이 급감하는 현상을 개선하기 위하여 DL-LEACH(Dual-hop Layered LEACH) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 이는, 데이터 전송에 듀얼 홉(dual hop : 싱글 홉 + 멀티 홉) 방식을 도입하여 근거리 전송에서는 부분적 싱글 홉 방식을, 원거리 전송에는 클러스터 헤드 간의 멀티 홉 전송 방식을 도입하였다. 제안된 DL-LEACH는 듀얼 홉 전송 방식을 사용하여 원거리 전송의 경우에는 클러스터 헤드의 에너지 소모를 줄이고, 근거리 전송의 경우에는 전송 루틴을 단순화하고 전송 거리를 줄여 센서 노드의 에너지 효율을 증가시켰다. 그러므로 일반적인 LEACH에 비교하여 넓은 센서 필드에 적합하다. 제안된 방법을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다.

The galloping of iced conductors has long been a severe threat to the safety of overhead transmission lines. Compared with normal transmission lines, the ultra-high-voltage (UHV) transmission lines are more prone to galloping, and the damage caused is more severe. To control the galloping of UHV lines, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of galloping characteristics. In this paper, a large-span 1000-kV UHV transmission line in China is taken as a practical example where an 8-bundled conductor with D-shaped icing is adopted. Galerkin method is employed for the time history calculation. For the wind attack angle range of 0°~180°, the galloping amplitudes in vertical, horizontal, and torsional directions are calculated. Furthermore, the vibration frequencies and galloping shapes are analyzed for the most severe conditions. The results show that the wind at 0°~10° attack angles can induce large torsional displacement, and this range of attack angles is also most likely to occur in reality. The galloping with largest amplitudes in all three directions occurs at the attack angle of 170° where the incoming flow is at the non-iced side, due to the strong aerodynamic instability. In addition, with wind speed increasing, galloping modes with higher frequencies appear and make the galloping shape more complex, indicating strong nonlinear behavior. Based on the galloping amplitudes of three directions, the full range of wind attack angles are divided into five galloping regions of different severity levels. The results obtained can promote the understanding of galloping and provide a reference for the anti-galloping design of UHV transmission lines.

As the new requirements for wireless sensor networks are emerging, real-time communications is becoming a major research challenge because resource-constrained sensor nodes are not powerful enough to accommodate the complexity of the protocol. In addition, an efficient energy management scheme has naturally been a concern in wireless sensor networks for a long time. However, the existing schemes are limited to meeting one of these two requirements. To address the two factors together, we propose real-time communications with two approaches, a protocol for satisfied conditions and one for unsatisfied. Under the satisfied requirement, existing real-time protocol is employed. On the other hand, for the unsatisfied requirement, the newly developed scheme replaces the existing scheme by adjusting the transmission range of some surplus nodes. By expanding the transmission range, the end-to-end delay is shortened because the number of intermediate nodes decreases. These nodes conserve their energy for real-time communications by avoiding other activities such as sensing, forwarding, and computing. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme in high traffic environments.

We demonstrate 10 Gbps optical signal transmission via long-range surface plasmon polaritons (LR-SPPs) in a very thin metal strip-guided geometry. The LR-SPP waveguide was fabricated as a 14 nm thick, 2.5 ${\mu}m$ wide, and 4 cm long gold strip embedded in a polymer and pigtailed with single-mode fibers. The total insertion loss of 16 dB was achieved at a wavelength of 1.55 ${\mu}m$ as a carrier wave. In a 10 Gbps optical signal transmission experiment, the LR-SPP waveguide exhibits an excellent eye opening and a 2.2 dB power penalty at $10^{-12}$ bit error rate. We confirm, for the first time, that LR-SPPs can efficiently transfer data signals as well as the carrier light.

This paper focuses on vehicle fuel economy improvement using D-Range neutral control of automatic transmission. The system objected to reducing of fuel consumption during idle. Usually, turbine of conventional auto transmission is mechanically linked to wheel during idling condition. Therefore speed ratio of torque converter is zero for that period. This causes needless power loss by the torque converter slip. To improve this inefficiency automobile makers develops electronically-controlled D-range neutral control system. The D-range neutral control system minimizes slip on the torque converter by shifting gear to a neutral position during vehicle stoped with D-range gear position. However there's insufficient study about the effect of D-range neutral control system on vehicle fuel economy. In this paper, researches are performed on effect of D-range neutral control system on vehicle fuel economy by experiment with two different vehicle. And it is also estimated the effect on vehicle fuel economy using computer simulation. As a result, 1.8% of LA-4 mode fuel economy improvement can be achieved in a vehicle by D-range neutral control system.

The engines mounted on power-tillers are used as power source in various kinds of works such as plowing, harrowing, transporting, spraying, water pumping and threshing, etc. But the engines have not been used effectively from a standpoint of fuel consumption because of lack of proper power transmission system and lack of understanding of fuel consumption characteristics of the engines. Therefore, this study was attempted to establish proper power transmission system between the power-tiller engines and various implements. In order to accomplish the above objective, firstly, power requirement and pulley sizes for various implements, which are driven by the power-tiller engines, were investigated to find out whether the power transmission system is proper. Secondly, partload variable engine-speed test was conducted for 3 different sizes of diesel engines to measure to specific fuel consumption. Thirdly, the present power transmission systems were analyzed in terms of specific fuel consumption, and proper power transmission systems were suggested for various implements. The results of this study are summarized as follows: 1. Power requirement for each fixed-type implement of power-tiller varied from 1.5 ps to 11 ps according to its type and operating conditions, but generally in the range of 2.5 ps to 7 ps. 2. Each power tiller and implement were equipped with only one size of pully with few exeptions. With the present power transmission systems, the engines can't be utilized effectively in terms of fuel economy. The pulley size of engine or implement should be diversified to provide the optimum engine speed for different implements. 3. For a diesel eninge with the rated power output of 6 ps, the optimum engine speed to minimize specific fuel consumption was 2200 rpm for the power reguirement in the range of 6 ps or more, 1700 rpm in the range of 4 to 6 ps, and 1200 rpm in the range of 4 ps or less. 4. For a diesel engine with the rated power output of 8 ps, the optimum engine speed was 2200 rpm for the power requirement in the range of 7 ps or more, 1700 rpm in the range of 4.8 to 7 ps, and 1200 rpm in the range of 4.8 ps or less. 5. For a diesel engine with the rated power output of 10 ps, the optimum engine speed was 2200 rpm for the power requirement in the range of 8.4 ps or more, 1700 rpm in the range of 5.4 ps to 8.4 ps, and 1200 rpm in thr range of 5.4 ps or less. 6. Provided the existing implements are dirven by 8 ps diesel engines, the optimum size of engine pulley should be larger than 120mm for the works of requiring less than 4 ps and 90-110mm for the works requiring 4.5-6.5 ps in order to minimize fuel consumption.
