In recent times, fuel economy enhancement and environmental regulation compliance have become the main topics of interest in the automobile industry. Electric vehicles are desirable alternatives to the existing cars that employ internal combustion engines. Specifically, electric vehicles are equipped with inverters, motors, and a gearbox instead of engines and transmission mechanisms. The gearbox is a key component, used to transmit power from the electric motor to the wheel. Therefore, the design of the gearbox is critical. However, most engineers design gears based only on their experience because no standards pertaining to the design factor exist, other than those for the gear ratios. To overcome this problem, the structural stabilities must be examined considering the design factors of the gears. In this study, we considered the module and number of teeth as the main factors. The constraints corresponded to the final gear ratio and fixed distance between each axle of the shafts. Moreover, a structural analysis was conducted, and the variation trend of the maximum equivalent stress against changes in the gear module and number of teeth was examined. By performing such an analysis, the structural stability in the design of a gear system could be effectively investigated.

Multihop transmission is a promising technique that helps in achieving broader coverage (excellent network connectivity) and preventing the impairment of wireless channels. This paper proposes a cluster-based multihop wireless network that makes use of the advantages of multihop relaying, i.e., path loss gain, and partial relay selection in each hop, i.e., spatial diversity. In this partial relay selection, the node with the maximum instantaneous channel gain will serve as the sender for the next hop. With the proposed protocol, the transmit power and spectral efficiency can be improved over those in the case of direct transmission and conventional multihop transmission. Moreover, at a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the performance of the system with at least two nodes in each cluster is dependent only on the last hop and not on any of the intermediate hops. For a practically feasible decode-and-forward relay strategy, a compact expression for the probability density function of the end-to-end SNR at the destination is derived. This expression is then used to derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability, average symbol error rate, and average bit error rate for M-ary square quadrature amplitude modulation as well as to determine the spectral efficiency of the system. In addition, the probability of SNR gain over direct transmission is investigated for different environments. The mathematical analysis is verified by various simulation results for demonstrating the accuracy of the theoretical approach.

플러딩은 무선 네트워크에서 모든 노드들에게 패킷을 전달하는 가장 간단한 방법이다. 하지만, 기본적인 플러딩은 모든 노드가 브로드캐스트 패킷을 한 번씩 전송을 하게 되고, 결과적으로 브로드캐스트 폭풍(broadcast storm) 문제를 일으킨다. 이는 네트워크 자원 및 에너지를 심각하게 낭비시키는 결과를 초래한다. 특히, 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 노드들은 제한된 배터리에 의해 전력을 공급받기 때문에 전력은 가장 중요한 자원 중의 하나이다. 다시 말해, 기본적인 플러딩은 많은 중복 패킷을 생성하기 때문에 전력 소비가 많고, 무선 센서 네트워크의 수명을 단축시키게 된다. 이 브로드캐스트 폭풍 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 이웃 노드 정보를 이용하여 자식 노드 수와 형제 노드 수에 따른 동적인 확률적 플러딩 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과에서 제안 알고리즘은 기존의 기법들과 비교하여 패킷 발생 수는 유사하게 유지하면서 적은 노드 수에 대해서도 높은 전달율을 보인다.

Optical fibers are indispensable fer optical communication systems that transmit large volumes of data at high speed. But the aligning technology under the sub-micron accuracy is required for the precise axis adjustment and connection. For the purpose of precise alignment of the optical arrays, in this research, we have developed the 12-axis(with 8 automated axis and 4 manual axis) automatic optical fiber alignment system including the image processing-based searching system, the automatic loading system using the robot and the suction toot and the automatic UV bonding system. In order to obtain the sub-micron alignment accuracy, two 4-axis PC-based motion controllers and the two 50nm resolution 6-aixs micro-stage actuated by micro stepping motors are adopted. The fiber aligning procedure consists of two steps. Firstly, the optical wave guide and an input optical array are aligned by the 6-axis input micro-stage with the IR camera. The image processing technique is introduced to reduce primary manual aligning time and result in achieving the 50% decrease of aligning time. Secondly, the IR camera is replaced by the output micro-stage and a wave guide and two optical arrays are aligned simultaneously before the laser power intensity delivered to the optical powermeter reached the threshold value. When the aligning procedure is finished, the wave guide and arrays are W bonded. The automatic loading/unloading system is also introduced and the entire wave guide handing time is reduced significantly compared to the former commercial aligning system.

This paper is a study on the bi-directional DC-DC converter, one of the key elements of 48V-12V dual systems in mild hybrid electric vehicles. Mild hybrid electric vehicles require a bi-directional DC-DC converter that can efficiently transmit power in two directions between a 48V battery and a 12V battery. To develop a bi-directional DC-DC converter with better price competitiveness, upgraded fuel economy, excellent performance and smaller size, this study designed, produced and presented a circuit that improved on the existing one. In the proposed 8-phase bi-directional DC-DC converter, the size of the passive element was reduced through the 8-phase interleaved topology, whereas downscaling had previously posed a difficulty. This study also designed and produced a 2.5kW class prototype. Based on the proposed 8-phase interleaved topology, a size of 227.5 (W) * 172 (L) * 64.35 (H) was achieved. In the boost mode operation and buck operation modes, the maximum efficiency was recorded at 94.04 % and 95.78 %, respectively.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 다중 경로는 저전력 센서의 특징으로 인해 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 방법들을 선호하였으며 라우팅 방법 중 이웃 노드들의 주변 정보를 통해 데이터를 전달하는 위치 기반 라우팅으로 다중 경로를 생성하였다. 하지만, 다중 경로가 라우팅 불가 지역에서 위치 기반 라우팅을 사용하면 경로들이 중복 사용되어 다중 경로의 디스조인트 특징을 유지하지 못한다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 다중 경로는 라우팅 불가 지역을 모델링하고 해당 지역을 우회하여 다중 경로의 디스조인트 특징을 보존하였다. 하지만 에너지 관점으로 보았을 때, 모델링과 같은 부가적인 작업은 노드의 에너지 소모를 증가시키며 센서 망의 수명을 단축시킨다. 본 논문에서는 라우팅 불가 지역에서 다중 경로의 디스조인트 특징을 보존하면서 에너지 효율적인 위치 기반 라우팅을 제안한다. 제안 방안은 노드의 에너지 소모를 줄이기 위해 모델링과 같은 부가적인 작업 없이 페이스 라우팅을 활용한다.

East Parts of Bangladesh have been benifited by low cost energy generated by domestic natural gas but West parts where energy generated by imported fuel. Bangladesh Government authority has very much concerned to transmit the low cost electricity to the West from the East for past several years. To solve such concerns, cross-country 230kv double circuits Power transmission line was proposed, however there was a big obstacle for the realization of this line to cross the Jamuna river which has 12 km long width with a deep muddy river bed. A consultant engineering firm named Merz-Mclellan anyway finalized this plan and a world-wide bid was announced on June 31, 1979. Due to the expected difficulty to construct the towers on sea like area, only three construction groups have participated. including a Korean joint venture organization of Samsung-Korean Developement corporation-Kolon Electric Machinery company. After 3 months bid evaluation, contract was awarded to Korean Consosium and KEM Co was in charge of designing steel towers with anchor bolts and base plates beside to electrical engineering field. Then KEM Co have faced and over-comed many unenpected technical difficulties such as forced eccentricity joint on base plate, distorsion issue of 60mm thick plates welding, threading anchor bolts, tad heat treatment of some anchor bolts, disagreement from Consultant Engineer on multiplying factor of leg stresses for 45$^{\circ}$ wind and on reducing O.L.F for wind loads on cables for such 1220km long spans. After spending two years long period for designing and engineering towers, base plates, and anchor bolts, first shipment of tower was finally realized on Nov. 8, 1981 and on the other hand KDD has proceeded concrete caisson work on schedule at Jamuna river site and expected to complete tower erection and stringing of cables within this year of 1982 which was original completion target.
