The sensor networks can be used attractively for various application areas. Time synchronization is important for any Ubiquitous Sensor Networks (USN) systems. USN makes extensive use of synchronized time in many contexts for data fusion. However existing time synchronization protocols are available only for homogeneous sensor nodes of USN. It needs to be extended or redesigned in order to apply to the USN with heterogeneous sensor nodes. Because heterogeneous sensor nodes have different clock sources with the SinkNode of USN, it is impossible to be synchronized global time. In addition, energy efficiency is one of the most significant factors to influence the design of sensor networks, as sensor nodes are limited in power, computational capacity, and memory. In this paper, we propose specific time synchronization based on master-slave topology for the global time synchronization of USN with heterogeneous sensor nodes. The time synchronization master nodes are always able to be synchronized with the SinkNode. Then time synchronization master nodes enable time synchronization slave nodes to be synchronized sleep periods. The proposed master-slave time synchronization for heterogeneous sensor nodes of USN is also helpful for power saving by maintaining maximum sleep time.

In this paper, Escape and BTA(Bus Turn Around) modes of master bridge IC are implemented, which supports MIPI(Mobile Industry Processor Interface) DSI(Display Serial Interface) standard. MIPI DSI master bridge IC sends RGB data and various commands to display module(slave) in order to test it. The Escape mode is designed to implement LPDT, ULPS and trigger message transmissions. The BTA mode is designed to obtain various status information from slave in reverse direction. Functional simulation results show that the designed Escape and BTA modes work correctly for various conditions defined in MIPI DSI standard.

In this work, a master-slave manipulator system which will be used for handling objects contaminated by radioactivity has been addressed. The links of manipulators are driven independently by individual motors installed on the base and the driving torque is transmitted through pre-tensioned tendons. Since the measurable variables are the positions and rates of master/slave motors, only a constrained specific bilateral control structure is available. In the consideration of the flexibility of the tendon and constrained control structure, we derived a necessity for tendon design to prevent uncontrollable vibration mode through a modal analysis. Based on a reduced rigid body model, a control design was suggested and tendons were selected. The feasibility of the proposed analysis and tendon design were verified along with some simulation results.

In this study, position tracking and force reflection control of a master-slave manipulator which will be used for handling objects contaminated by radioactivity has been addressed. Since available measurements concerning on dynamic motion of the master-slave manipulator are restricted, a simple constrained control structure was suggested. In the consideration of the uncertain dynamic behaviors of the slave manipulator which is dependent upon mass and shape of work pieces grasped and dynamic properties of the environment contacted, a simple structured sliding mode control was suggested to guarantee robustness with respect to parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The proposed control was applied to a 1-DOF master-slave link system. The control performances were verified along with some computer simulation results.

클라우드 벤더들은 많은 컨테이너를 효율적으로 배포하기 위해 컨테이너 관리 도구를 사용한다. 컨테이너 관리 도구는 Availability, Self-healing, Automated rollouts and rollback 등 여러 기능을 제공한다. 많은 관리 도구 중 Kubernetes는 가장 최소 단위로 컨테이너의 추상적인 모임 pod을 배포한다. pod에 대한 정보는 마스터에서 정의되며 슬레이브 노드에 배포된다. 슬레이브 노드에는 마스터의 명령을 받아 pod을 관리하는 노드 에이전트 kubelet이 생성된다. 하나의 노드에 할당된 자원과 상관없이 kubelet이 관리하는 pod의 개수가 많아지게 되면 작업 중인 pod이 CPU를 훔치는 오버헤드가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 pod의 개수에 따른 CPU사용률 실험을 통해 kubelet이 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 pod의 개수를 분석한다.

SoC(System on a Chip) has several masters, slaves, arbiter and decoder in bus architecture. Master initiates the data transactions like CPU, DMA and DSP and slave responses the data transactions like SRAM, SDRAM and register. Furthermore, as multiple masters can't use a bus concurrently, arbiter plays an role in bus arbitration. In compliance with the selection of arbitration method, SoC performance can be changed definitely. In this study, we compare the characteristics of various arbitration policies using TLM(Transaction Level Model) method. Fixed priority, round-robin, TDMA and Lottery bus policies are used in general arbitration method. We analyze the merit and demerit of these arbitration policies.

In this paper 10Mbps master-slave based PLC modems are tested for measuring and analyzing both network and application level performances in the general buildings. The devices under test consist of one master PLC modem and three slave modems. The selected parameters for inspecting the performances are throughput, latency and frame loss rate from the RFC 2544, and one-to-many and many-to-one throughput from the RFC 2285. The results of the performance test show that the PLC modems have Performed better in data transmission when the frame size is increased and the transmission speed is decreased. It is expected that these results will be useful to analyze the effect of noise sources when compared to the performance test under the noiseless environments.

The IEEE 1588, commonly known as a precision time protocol (PTP), is a standard for precise clock synchronization that maintains networked measurements and control systems. The best master clock (BMC) algorithm is currently used to establish the master-slave hierarchy for PTP. The BMC allows a slave clock to automatically take over the duties of the master when the slave is disconnected due to a link failure and loses its synchronization; the slave clock depends on a timer to compensate for the failure of the master. However, the BMC algorithm does not provide a fast recovery mechanism in the case of a master failure. In this paper, we propose a technique that combines the IEEE 1588 with network bonding to provide a faster recovery mechanism in the case of a master failure. This technique is implemented by utilizing a pre-existing library PTP daemon (Ptpd) in Linux system, with a specific profile of the IEEE 1588 and it's controlled through bonding modes. Network bonding is a process of combining or joining two or more network interfaces together into a single interface. Network bonding offers performance improvements and redundancy. If one link fails, the other link will work immediately. It can be used in situations where fault tolerance, redundancy, or load balancing networks are needed. The results show combining IEEE 1588 with network bonding enables an incredible shorter recovery time than simply just relying on the IEEE 1588 recovery method alone.
