This letter presents a highly efficient rack-level DC power architecture combined with a node-level DC uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The proposed system can provide almost the equivalent power efficiency of a high-voltage DC data center without any change in the existing power infrastructure. The node-level DC UPS combined with a power distribution board provides high power efficiency as well as lower UPS installation costs. Implemented on a rack, the entire power system can be monitored through a network.

A sensor network consists of many low-cost, low-power, and multi-functional sensor nodes. One of most important issues in of sensor networks is to increase network lifetime, and there have been researches on the problem. In this paper, we propose a routing mechanism to prolong network lifetime, in which each node adjusts its transmission power to send data to its neighbors. We model the energy efficient routing with power control and present an algorithm to obtain the optimal flow solution for maximum network lifetime. Then, we derive an upper bound on the network lifetime for specific network topologies.

본 논문에서는 멀티코어 프로세서 상에서 실시간 작업들의 데드라인들을 만족하면서 전력 소모량의 확률적 기대값을 최소화하는 문제를 해결하는 스케쥴링 기법을 제시하였다. 제시된 기법에서는 주어진 작업들의 불확실한 계산량을 과거의 계산량 분포에 기반하여 확률적 계산량으로 변환하고, 한정된 개수의 이산적 클락 주파수 값들을 이용하여 변환된 확률적 계산량의 전력 소모 기대 값을 최소화한다. 또한 시스템의 부하량이 적을 때에는 누수 전력을 고려하여 전체 코어들 중에서 일부의 코어들만을 사용하고 나머지 코어들의 전원을 소등시켜서 전력 소모량을 줄인다. 성능평가 실험에서 제시된 기법이 기존 방법의 전력 소모량을 최대 69%까지 감소시킴을 확인하였다.

DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhold)시스템은 DVB-T (DVB-Terrestrial)를 향상시킨 휴대용 방송시스템이다. 이동 단말을 통해 방송 서비스를 수신하기 위해서는 끊김 없는 이동성을 보장하고 전력 효율을 높이는 것이 무엇보다 중요한 요구사항이다 끊김 없는 핸드오버 위해서는 단말은 이웃 셀 들을 주기적이고 지속적으로 탐색해야 하나 이는 전력소모를 증가시킨다. 따라서 전력소모를 줄이 면서도 이동성을 보장할 수 있는 핸드오버 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 핸드오버 동안 탐색해야 할 주파수의 수를 최대한 줄임으로써 소모전력을 줄일 수 있는 전력 효율적인 핸드오버 기법을 제안하고 수학적 분석을 통해 제안된 핸드오버의 성능을 분석하였다.

Power-efficient base station (BS) operation is one of the important issues in future green cellular networks. Previously well-known BS operation schemes, the cell zooming scheme and the cell wilting and blossoming scheme, require tight cooperation between cells in cellular networks. With the previous schemes, the non-cooperative BSs of a serving cell and neighboring cells could cause coverage holes between the cells, thereby seriously degrading the quality of service as well as the power saving efficiency of the cellular networks. In this paper, we propose a novel power-efficient BS operation scheme for green downlink heterogeneous cellular networks, in which the networks virtually adjust the coverage of a serving macrocell (SM) and neighboring macrocells (NMs) without adjusting the transmission power of the BSs when the SM is lightly loaded, and the networks turn off the BS of the SM when none of active users are associated with the SM. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme significantly improves the power saving efficiency without degrading the quality of service (e.g., system throughput) of a downlink heterogeneous LTE network and outperforms the previous schemes in terms of system throughput and power saving efficiency. In particular, with the proposed scheme, macrocells are able to operate independently without the cooperation of a SM and NMs for green heterogeneous cellular networks.

This paper presents a survey of recent wireless power transfer systems. The issue of wireless power transfer is to achieve a highly efficient system with small positioning errors of the facilities setting. Several theories have been presented to obtain precise system design. This paper presents a summary of design theory for short range power transfer systems and detailed formulations based on a circuit model and an array of infinitesimal dipoles. In addition to these theories, this paper introduces a coil array scheme for improving the efficiency for off axis coils. In the microwave range, tightly coupled resonators provide a highly efficient power transfer system. This paper present san-overlay resonator array consisting of half wavelength microstrip line resonators on the substrate with electromagnetically coupled parasitic elements placed above the bottom resonators. The tight couplings between the waveguide and the load resonator give strong power transmission and achieve a highly efficient system, and enables a contact-less power transfer railroad. Its basic theory and a demonstration of a toy vehicle operating with this system are presented. In the last topic of this paper, harmonic suppression from the rectenna is discussed with respect to acircular microstrip antenna with slits and stubs.

본 논문은 효율적인 CPLD 저전력 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 DAG를 이용한 그래프 분할 방식을 적용하였다. 주어진 회로를 DAG로 표현한 후 각각의 노드의 값을 설정하여 회로를 구현하고자 하는 CPLD의 구성 요소에 맞도록 매핑 가능 클러스터를 생성한다. 생성된 매핑 가능 클러스터의 OR 텀수와 입력 변수의, 출력 변수의 수를 고려하여 매핑 가능 클러스터의 소모 전력 값을 구한다. 생성된 매핑 가능 클러스터와 소모 전력 값을 고려하여 소모전력이 최소가 되는 매핑 가능 클러스터를 선정하여 회로를 구현한다. 실험은 [9]와 비교하였으며, 소모전력이 감소되어 알고리즘의 효율성이 입증되었다. 논문에서는 소모 전력을 위한 FPGA 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

RF-ID system is one of the very interesting field not only in a technical and economical point of view but also that people are still trying to realize lossless power transmission. This paper has a purpose on the efficient power transmission at the passive type IDcard by using wireless power transmission system. The most difficult but important part of the passive type RF-ID system is building the system that supplies power from Reader-antenna to IDcard-antenna. To check what is the most efficient way to deliver power depending on what kind of specifications of the power-amp in reader, antenna and antenna in IDcard is for operating IDcard circuit efficiently receiving the power from reader-antenna. For this, we used 125kHz sinewave for RF signal as a basic specification, OP-amp for amplifying signal and power-amp for amplifying power, loop type antenna.

High-efficient machining, which means cutting a part in the least amount of time, is the most effective tool to improve productivity. In this study, a new feed optimization method based on the cutting power regulation was proposed to realize the high-efficient machining in turning process. The cutting area was evaluated by using the Boolean intersection operation between the cutting tool and workpiece. And the cutting force and power were predicted from the cutting parameters such as feed, depth of cut, spindle speed, specific cutting force, and so on. Especially, the reliability of the proposed optimization method was validated by comparing the predicted and measured cutting forces. The simulation results showed that the proposed optimization method could effectively enhance the productivity in turning process.
