Recently, Interest in power the quality was increased because of increasing the use of sensitive load equipment into an electrical disturbance such as computer, Electricity, Electronics, Telecommunications and semiconductor device. In addition, To enhance power quality, the instantaneous voltage drop occurred in precision load equipment is a need for proper compensation. In order to solve the problem, The developed dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) using an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) has been applied. In this paper, We will do study to apply hybrid capacitors that have high energy density to the same size compared to the EDLC to DVR. Also, As a emergency luminaires of emergency power supply that we can support more than 10 years of life was confirmed the applicability of hybrid capacitor.

As interest in mobile devices and networks has increased recently, voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service, which is a technology for transmitting voice data using an existing internet protocol (IP) network, has rapidly spread, Cheap voice call service has become possible. As the digital broadcasting service becomes popular, hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network technology, which uses broadband cable network through fusion of broadcasting and communication, utilizes existing communication system and network equipment to provide various new services such as interactive broadcasting service. Therefore, if UGS-AD is applied to VoCM and RTPS is applied to MTA in order to guarantee the quality of voice data in actual HFC Internet service network, it is possible to smoothly perform voice data transmission in narrow upstream band which is a problem in actual commercial HFC network We also proposed a method to improve VoIP service by improving QoS of voice data in HFC Internet service network.

An antenna arrays for a satellite navigation systems require more antenna elements to mitigate multiple jamming signals. In order to maintain the small array size while increasing the number of antenna elements, miniaturization technique is essential for antenna design. In this work, an electrically small circular microstrip patch antenna with a 3 dB hybrid coupler is designed as an element antenna, where the 3 dB hybrid coupler can yield the circularly polarized radiation characteristic. The miniaturized element antenna typically has too large capacitance in GPS L1 and GLONASS G1 bands, making it difficult to match with a single stand-alone non-Foster matching circuit (NFMC) in a stable state. Therefore, we propose a new matching technique, referred to as the hybrid matching method, which consists of a NFMC and a passive circuit. This passive tuning circuit manages reactance of antenna elements at an appropriate capacitance without a pole in the operating frequency range. The antenna array is fabricated, and the measured results show a reflection coefficient of less than -10 dB and an isolation of greater than 50 dB. In addition, peak gain of the proposed antenna is increased by 22.3 dB compared to the antenna without the hybrid matching network.

Hybrid media access control (MAC) is used in internet of things (IoT) network, because of communication feature concern with data capacity and communication interval between gateway and sensor nodes and the cost efficiency. Hybrid MAC consists of TDMA and CSMA generally. The distance between gateway and sensor node is openly changed in marine IoT network. Therefore, it is needed to control the period of timeslot of hybrid MAC used in marine IoT network. In this paper, the design rule of TDMA timeslot with the variable period depending on communication distance was proposed. It was confirmed from the analysis that 72 times communication between gateway and sensor nodes is possible in LoRa network by using the proposed TDMA variable timeslot scheme.

After patrol corvett Cheonan was hit and sank on duty, the Republic of Korea Navy has tried to install hybrid propulsion system on naval ship to reduce vibration and noise problems during navigation. The hybrid propulsion system has advantage that propulsion motor can be propelled in low speed operation of the vessel. This can be a better quietness than a mechanical propulsion system which consists of a conventional internal combustion engines. And more economical operation is possible by using a propulsion motor in a low speed operation where a fuel efficiency of the internal combustion engine is poor. In this paper, we set up virtual ship on the basis of a combat support ship in the Republic of Korea Navy, economically compared and analyzed fuel consumption between conventional and hybrid propulsion system. As a result, it was confirmed that the fuel efficiency of hybrid propulsion system which use electric motor had been relatively improved.

We propose a small active antenna to receive Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals, i.e., Global Positioning System (GPS) L1 (1,575MHz) and Russian Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) L1 (1,600 MHz) signals. A two-stage low-noise amplifier (LNA) with more than 27 dB gain is implemented in the bottom layer of a three-layer antenna package. In addition, a hybrid coupler is used to combine signals from pair of proximately coupled orthogonal feeds with $90^{\circ}$ phase difference to achieve the circular polarization (CP) characteristic. Three layers of high permittivity (${\varepsilon}_r=10$) substrates are stacked and effectively integrated to have a small dimension of $64mm{\times}64mm{\times}7.42mm$ (including both circuit and antenna). The reflection coefficient of the fabricated antenna at the target frequency is below -10 dB, the measured antenna gain is above 26 dBic and the measured noise figure is less than 1.4 dB.

This paper presents an integrated underwater navigational algorithm for unmanned underwater vehicles, using additional two-range transducers. This paper proposes a measurement model, using two range measurements, to improve the performance of an IMU-DVL (inertial measurement unit - Doppler velocity log) navigation system for long-time operation of underwater vehicles, excluding DVL measurement. Extended Kalman filter was adopted to propagate the error covariance, to update the measurement errors, and to correct the state equation when the external measurements are available. Simulation was conducted with the 6-d.o.f nonlinear numerical model of an AUV in lawn-mowing survey mode, at current flaw, where the velocity information is unavailable. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the integrated navigation system, assisted by the additional range measurements without DVL sensing.

Productivity of container cranes and gantry cranes is influenced by the performance of crane hardware and cycle time. Cycle time in container handling is influenced by the path of containers and relative positioning of containers. So we have to minimize the sway of containers and spreaders to minimize relative positioning time. And sway minimization is influenced by the skill of workers in manual gantry cranes. In this paper, we will develop anti-sway system using mechanical and electrical method. Proposed hybrid system uses the basic structure of general manual gantry crane. So, it is very useful and effective. Electrical methods are main methods and mechanical methods are auxiliary methods.

The problem of robot navigation and control is a complex task. Its complexity and characteristics depends on the characteristics of the environment robot inhabits, robot construction (mechanical abilities to move, sense) and the job the robot is supposed to do. In this paper we propose a hybrid programming approach to mobile robot navigation and control in an indoor environment. In our approach we used declarative, procedural, and object oriented programming paradigms and we utilized some advantages of our distributed computing architecture. The programming languages corresponding to the paradigms we used were C, C++ and Prolog. In the paper we present some details of our mobile robot hardware and software structure, focusing on the software design and implementation.
