To enhance the scalability of high performance packet switches, a two-stage load-balanced switch has recently been introduced, in which each stage uses a deterministic sequence of configurations. The switch is simple to make scalable and has been proven to provide 100% throughput. However, the load-balanced switch may mis-sequence the packets. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called full frame stuff (FFS), which maintains packet order in the two-stage load-balanced switch and has excellent switching performance. This algorithm is distributed and each port can operate independently.

Evaporation characteristics of a single droplet of carbon nanofluids were investigated in a rapid compression machine(RCM). n-Heptane and carbon black N990 were used to synthesize the carbon nanofluids. RCM is an experimental set-up to simulate a single compression stroke of reciprocating engine. Temperature and pressure in a reaction chamber were measured during the compression stroke. After the piston reaches top dead center(TDC), temperature and pressure decreased due to the heat loss at wall. In that process, a single droplet of carbon nanofluids underwent unsteady condition. A single droplet was put at the center of reaction chamber. Thermocouple whose tip is $50{\mu}m$ was used not only to measure transient bulk temperature, but also to suspend the droplet. The picture of single droplet was taken using high speed camera with a frame rate of 500 fps. From those pictures, the droplet diameter was measured by visual basic program.

The all pass filter generates a virtual q-axis voltage component with $90^{\circ}$ phase delay but the virtual q-axis voltage cannot detect the voltage depending on the phase of the grid voltage. To overcome the problem, q-axis voltage component is generated from difference between the current and previous value of d-axis voltage component in the stationary reference frame. However, the difference voltage between the current and previous value around the zero crossing voltage is not enough to detect the voltage sag. Therefore, the new detection scheme which can detect the sag around the zero crossing voltage is proposed.

Determining the total duration for a construction project is an integral part of project management in the construction industry. This is to ensure the project and all its associated activities can be carried out and completed within the time frame stipulated. There are several commonly used scheduling methods and techniques in project management, some of which involves manual calculation while others involve computer software. This paper looks into the various time determination methods, extracting out their differences and similarities. It also seeks to draw out the problems when determining time for projects, especially those encountered of case studies. Based on the results from the case studies, there were delays on certain projects even though time determination had been carried out rigorously prior to the commencement of the projects. This paper seeks to develop a time determination model, which incorporates risk management techniques into the calculations in order to improve the method for time estimation to minimize the chances of project delay.

In order to provide a realtime transmission over a wireless LAM, we here present a new jamming based retransmission mechanism. In a legacy wireless LAN system, all stations use the binary exponential backoff algorithm to avoid collisions among frames. It is well known that the backoff algorithm causes more collisions as the numbers of active stations increases. This makes transmission of real time traffic hard. In the proposed scheme, when each station senses collisions, it promptly allows to send a jamming signal during a unique jamming window period which is determined by its own channel access count database(CACDB). This jamming windows is chosen not to be overlapped each other by using of CACDB, and thus channel access of another station is prevented. Hereafter the station gets the ownership of the medium when the wireless medium becomes idle after sending the jamming signal and sensing carrier, and then sends frame in medium. In our proposal, repeating collisions is never happened. We here assume that real time traffic use a frame of fixed length in order to make the time for receiving its ACK frame same. Comparing the proposed jamming-based retransmission scheme with the the 802.11 and 802.11e MAC by simulation. one can find that the proposed scheme have advantages in terms of delay, average backoff time, and average number of collisions per frame. One can find that the proposed scheme might be practically applicable to several applications of realtime traffic transmission in wireless LAN systems.

In this paper, I propose an adaptive OFDM CP length algorithm for in PLC systems for smart grid. The proposed scheme calculates the channel delay information at the CP controller of the receiver by taking correlation between a received data frame and the following delayed one. The CP controller, immediately, feeds back the channel delay information to the transmitter. Then, the transmitter adapts CP length for next data frame. As an impulsive noise model, Middleton Class A interference model was employed. The performance is evaluated in terms of packet data rate, cumulative packet data rate, and bit error rate (BER). The simulation results showed data gain (which is the amount of the reduced bits) gets larger as the number of packets increase, but the amount of data gain reduced as the number of branches ($N_{br}$) increase. In respects of BER for the cases $N_{br}$ is 3, 4, and 5, performance of the adaptive CP length algorithm and the fixed CP scheme are similar. Therefore, it is confirmed the proposed scheme achieved data rate increment without BER performance reduction compared to the conventional fixed CP length scheme.

In this paper, a traffic adaptive sleep based medium access control (TAS-MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is proposed. The protocol aims for WSNs which consist of clustered sensor nodes and is based on TDMA-like schema. It is a typical schedule based mechanism which is adopted in previous protocols such as LEACH and Bit-Map Assisted MAC. The proposed MAC, however, considers unexpected long silent period in which sensor nodes have no data input and events do not happen in monitoring environment. With the simple traffic measurement, the TAS-MAC eliminates scheduling phases consuming energy in previous centralized approaches. A frame structure of the protocol includes three periods, investigation (I), transmission (T), and sleep-period (S). Through the I-period, TAS-MAC aggregates current traffic information from each end node and dynamically decide the length of sleep period to avoid energy waste in long silent period. In spite of the energy efficiency of this approach, the delay of data might increase. Thus, we propose an advanced version of TAS-MAC as well, each node in cluster sends one or more data packets to cluster head during the T-period of a frame. Through simulation, the performance in terms of energy consumption and transmission delay is evaluated. By comparing to BMA-MAC, the results indicate the proposed protocol is more energy efficient with tolerable expense in latency, especially in variable traffic situation.

This thesis described an unlimited vocabulary connected speech recognition system using Time Delay Neural Network(TDNN). The recognition unit is the diphone unit which includes the transition section of two phonemes, and the number of diphone unit is 329. The recognition processing of korean connected speech is composed by three part; the feature extraction section of the input speech signal, the diphone recognition processing and post-processing. In the feature extraction section, the extraction of diphone interval in input speech signal is carried and then the feature vectors of 16th filter-bank coefficients are calculated for each frame in the diphone interval. The diphone recognition processing is comprised by the three stage hierachical structure and is carried using 30 Time Delay Neural Networks. particularly, the structure of TDNN is changed so as to increase the recognition rate. The post-processing section, mis-recognized diphone strings are corrected using the probability of phoneme transition and the probability o phoneme confusion and then the eojeols (Korean word or phrase) are formed by combining the recognized diphones.

In this paper we propose a new frame transfer function model describing the variations of a heat release rate in response to an external flow oscillation in gas turbine systems. A critical difference of our model compared to the so-called $n-{\tau}$ model which has been widely used for a prediction of combustion instability (CI), is that our model is able to describe a nonlinear relation between phase and frequency. In contrast, the phase part of the $n-{\tau}$ model is a pure time delay and thus the phase should be a linear function of frequency, which is inconsistent with many experimental results of real combustion systems. For an illustration, our new model is applied to experimental data and the effect of phase nonlinearity is investigated in the context of combustion instability.

In this paper, we propose an efficient assignment method that assigns quantization parameter (QP) in accordance with group of picture (GOP) structure given in HEVC encoder. Each video frames can have difference QP values based on given GOP configuration for HEVC encoding. Particularly, for important frames we can assign low QP values, and vice versa. However, there has not been thorough investigation on efficient QP assignment method by far. Even in HEVC reference software encoder, only monotonic QP assignment method is employed. Thus, the proposed method assign adaptive QP values to each GOP so that temporal dynamic activity between GOPs can be exploited. Through the experiment, the proposed method showed a 7.3% gain of compression performance in terms of BD-rate compared to HEVC test model (HM) in low-delay configuration, and outperformed the existing QP assignment study on average.
