USN의 장점이 크게 부각되고 이에 대한 연구 개발이 활성화됨에 따라, 가까운 미래에는 하나의 USN을 통해 다양한 응용 서비스가 제공될 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 다수의 응용은 주기적 데이터 리포팅, 연속적인 정보 모니터링, 이벤트 드리븐 데이터, 쿼리 기반 데이터 등 데이터 패턴을 요구하게 되므로 각 응용에 맞는 QoS를 보장해 줄 수 있는 매커니즘을 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 USN에서 각 응용에 적합한 QoS를 제공하기 위해 S-MAC를 기반으로 listen과 sleep시간을 동적으로 변경시키는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 QoS에 적합하게 동작함으로써 불필요한 에너지의 소비를 최소화하고, 전체 네트워크 수명을 향상 시킬 것으로 기대한다.

Representation of various types of information in an interactive virtual reality environment on mobile devices had been an attractive and valuable research in this new era. Our main focus is presenting spatial indoor location sensing information in 3D perception in mind to replace the traditional 2D floor map using handheld PDA. Designation of 3D virtual reality by Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) demonstrates its powerful ability in providing lots of useful positioning information for PDA user in real-time situation. Furthermore, by interpolating portal culling algorithm would reduce the 3D graphics rendering time on low power processing PDA significantly. By fully utilizing the CC2420 chipbased sensor nodes, wireless sensor network was established to locate user position based on Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) signals. Implementation of RSSI-based indoor tracking method is low-cost solution. However, due to signal diffraction, shadowing and multipath fading, high accuracy of sensing information is unable to obtain even though with sophisticated indoor estimation methods. Therefore, low complexity and flexible accuracy refinement algorithm was proposed to obtain high precision indoor sensing information. User indoor position is updated synchronously in virtual reality to real physical world. Moreover, assignment of magnetic compass could provide dynamic orientation information of user current viewpoint in real-time.

Recently taping robot with smart recognition function have been studied in the coil manufacturing field. Due to the difficulty of 3D surface processing from the complicated working environment, it is not easy to accomplish smart tape attachment motion with non-contact sensor. To solve these problems the applicable surface recognition algorithm and a flexible sensing device has been recommended. In this research, the fusion method between 1D displacement and 3D laser scanner is applied for robust tape attachment about cold rolled coil. With these sensors we develop a two-step exploration and the smart algorithm for the awareness of non-aligned coil's information. In the proposed robot system for tape attachment, the problem is reduced to coil's radius searching with laser displacement sensor at first, and then position and orientation detection with 3D laser scanner. To get the movement at the robot's base frame, the hand-eye compensation between robot's end effector and sensing device should be also carried out respectively. In this paper, we examine the auto-coordinate transformation method in the calibration step for the real environment usage. From the experimental results, it was shown that the taping motion of robot had a robust under the non-aligned cold rolled coil.

USN이 적용되는 분야가 확장되고, 연구가 활발히 이루어짐에 따라, 다수개의 USN이 상호 혼재하는 단계를 거쳐, 하나의 USN을 통해 다수의 응용서비스가 제공되는 단계로 진화될 것으로 전망된다. 따라서 하나의 USN에서 전달하는 데이터 패턴은 드문 데이터 리포팅, 연속적인 정보 모니터링, 이벤트 드리븐 데이터, 쿼리를 기반으로 하는 데이터 등의 여러 패턴이 혼재하게 될 것이다. 이러한 데이터 패턴들은 각 각이 요구하는 지연, 에러 비율, 전송률 등의 QoS 특성이 다르게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이런 환경에서 적합한 QoS를 보장해 줄 수 있는 MAC 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 여러 응용에 맞춰 서비스를 제공하기 때문에 불필요한 에너지의 소비를 줄일 수 있다.

We propose a two-step UV irradiation procedure to fabricate polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films by lamination. During the first UV treatment, before lamination, the UV-curable monomers coated on one film substrate are solidified through photo-polymerization as the phase separation between the liquid crystals and the monomers. Introducing an adhesion-enhancement layer on the other plastic substrate and controlling the UV irradiation conditions ensure that UV-induced cross-linkable functional groups remain on the surfaces of the photo-polymerized layers. Thereby, the adhesion stability between the top and bottom films is much improved during a second (post-lamination) UV treatment by further UV-induced cross-linking at the interface. Because the adhesion-enhancement and PDLC layers prepared by the bar-coating process are solidified before lamination, the PDLC droplet distribution and the cell gap between the two plastic substrates remain uniform under the lamination pressure. This ensures that the voltage-controlled light transmittance is uniform across the entire sample.

Recently, sink mobility has been shown to be highly beneficial in improving network lifetime in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Numerous studies have exploited mobile sinks (MSs) to collect sensed data in order to improve energy efficiency and reduce WSN operational costs. However, there have been few studies on the effectiveness of MS operation on WSN closed operating cycles. Therefore, it is important to investigate how data is collected and how to plan the trajectory of the MS in order to gather data in time, reduce energy consumption, and improve WSN network lifetime. In this study, we combine two methods, the cluster-head election algorithm and the MS trajectory optimization algorithm, to propose the optimal MS movement strategy. This study aims to provide a closed operating cycle for WSNs, by which the energy consumption and running time of a WSN is minimized during the cluster election and data gathering periods. Furthermore, our flexible MS movement scenarios achieve both a long network lifetime and an optimal MS schedule. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm achieves better performance than other well-known algorithms.

Modal expansion technique (MET) is a method to estimate the vibration fields of flexible structures by using eigenmodes of the structure and the signals of sensors. It is the useful method to estimate the vibration fields but has the truncation error since it only uses the limit number of the eigenmodes in the frequency of interest. Even though block-wise MET performed frequency block by block with different valid eigenmodes was developed, it still has the truncation error due to the absence of other eigenmodes. Thus, this paper suggested an improved block-wise modal expansion technique. The technique recovers the truncation errors in one frequency block by utilizing other eigenmodes existed in the other frequency blocks. It was applied for estimating the vibration fields of a cylindrical shell. The estimated results were compared to the vibration fields of the forced vibration analysis by using two indices: the root mean square error and parallelism between two vectors. These indices showed that the estimated vibration fields of the improved block-wise MET more accurately than those of the established METs. Especially, this method was outstanding for frequencies near the natural frequency of the highest eigenmode of each block. In other words, the suggested technique can estimate vibration fields more accurately by recovering the truncation errors of the established METs.

일반적으로 무선 MAC에서는 신뢰성을 부여하기 위해 ACK를 이용한다. 한편, 센서 네트워크 응용에서는 데이터가 주기적으로 전송되며, 어느 정도의 중복성을 갖고 있다. 이와 같이 신뢰성에 융통성이 있는 응용에서는 모든 MAC 프레임에 대해 ACK를 이용하는 것이 에너지 낭비로 작용할 수 있다. 에너지 절약을 목적으로 설계된 IEEE 802.15.4에서는 이에 대비하여 ACK 사용 여부를 선택 사항으로 지정해 놓고 있으나, 이를 활용한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 프레임이 잘 전달되는 경우 ACK를 생략하고, 프레임이 잘 전달되지 않을 경우 ACK를 사용하여 사용자가 요구하는 신뢰성(예: 단대단 패킷 도달율)을 만족할 수 있는 선택적 Unacknowledged 전송 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 NS2 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 다양한 성능 평가를 수행하였다.

This paper presents the vibration characteristics of a cantilever beam in contact with a fluid using a PZT actuator and PVDF film. dynamic behaviors of a flexible beam-water interaction system are examined. The effect of the liquid level on free vibration of the composite beam in a partially liquid-filled circular cylinder is investigated. The coupled system is subject to an undisturbed boundary condition un the fluid domain. In the vibration analysis of a wetted beam. the decoupled analyses between beam and fluid have been conventionally employed by considering first the composite beam vibration in the all and secondly Performing the correction taking account for surrounding fluid effects. That is, this investigation was to look at how natural frequencies, mode shapes. and damping are affected by liquid level variations. The signals from the sensor according to the applied input voltage are digitalized and filtered in order to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the composite beam in contact with fluid. It was found that the coupled natural frequencies decreased with the fluid level for the identical composite beam due to added mass effect. In case of the free-free boundary condition, the natural frequency gently decreased at fluid water level between 20% and 80% in the first tending mode and we found out the bends of stair shape for added mass effect of the fluid.

Ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors are used in various industries and fields of research, including optical communication, flame sensing, missile plume detection, astronomical studies, biological sensors, and environmental research. However, general UV detectors that employ Schottky junction diodes and p-n junctions have high fabrication cost and low quantum efficiency. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of materials used to manufacture UV photodetectors in a low-cost solution process that requires easy fabrication of flexible substrates. We fabricated p-type NiO and n-type ZnO substrates with wide band gap by the sol-gel method and compared the characteristics of substrates prepared under different spin-coating and heat-treatment conditions.
