Engine valve seat and face, which are the important factors affecting engine performance, are required to have wear, heat and corrosion resistance. In order to produce surface layer with these characteristics, PTA(plasma transferred arc) surfacing procedure is generally employed, but problems, such as large HAZ and high dilution etc., frequently occurr. Laser cladding, which overcomes the drawbacks of conventional technologies, can be employed to create a superior clad layer with low dilution, small heat affected zone, and minimal distortion. However, in case cladding is to be applied to a large area, it is necessary to overlap 1 pass clad layer because of limited clad layer width. Two criteria for the overlapping ratio-beam size and clad layer width-have been considered thus far. Upon inspection of multi pass clads, produced by different overlapping criteria, it was observed that the greater the increase in overlapping ratio, the greater was the decrease in clad layer width and increase in clad layer height regardless of the criterion used. However, a multi pass clad overlapped by the beam size criterion demonstrated a higher hardness value than a clad overlapped by the clad layer width owing to decreasing dilution of the substrate. In conclusion, the beam size was defined as the criterion for the overlapping, because the clad layer width increased or decreased depending upon process parameters.

Since recently only an auto-correlated superposition coding (SC) scheme for non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) has been investigated, this paper proposes a cross-correlated SC scheme for NOMA. First, we derive the closed-form expression of the sum rate of the proposed cross-correlated SC scheme. Then, numerical analyses demonstrate that the sum rate of the proposed cross-correlated SC scheme is larger than that of the conventional auto-correlated SC scheme. We also show that for the stronger channel gain user, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain of the proposed cross-correlated SC scheme is about 15, compared with the conventional auto-correlated SC scheme. As a result, the proposed cross-correlated SC scheme could be a promising technology for 6G ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC).

In this study, we compared the stability of the pillars by using room and pillar mining method with the four models with different stiffness and pillar overlap ratio. The experimental models consist of two plaster models (overlap ratio 0%, 100%) and two cement models(overlap ratio 0%, 100%). The soft and hard rocks are modeled by plaster and cement models respectively. In these experiments, the model materials with strength values reflecting the calculated scaled factors not been used, so it is not a true scaled model test that reproduces in situ state in the laboratory. Experimental results show that the different overlap ratio pillars are one of the factors that can affect the stability of the mine.

This paper proposes an optimal relay selection and adaptive throughput enhancement scheme utilizing superposition modulation in cooperative communication. The optimal relay is selected and the channel state is estimated by utilizing superposition modulation. The source determines the number of superimposed signal in accordance with the estated channel state. As a result, throughput is increased in accordance with the channel state.

In this paper, considering the superposition transmission-based wireless cooperative multicast communication system (ST-CMS) with multiple relays and destinations, we propose a relay selection scheme to improve the data rate of multicast communication. In addition, we adopt the optimal power allocation coefficient for the superposition transmission to maximize the data rate of the proposed relay selection scheme. To propose the relay selection scheme, we derive an approximate expression for the data rate of the ST-CMS, and present the relay selection scheme using only partial channel state information based on the approximate expression. Moreover, we derive an approximate average data rate of the proposed relay selection scheme. Through numerical investigation, comparing the average data rates of the proposed relay selection scheme and the optimal relay selection scheme using full channel state information, we show that the proposed scheme provides extremely similar performance to the optimal scheme in the high signal-to-noise power ratio region.

Laser cladding has some advantages compared to conventional cladding technologies such as arc welding and thermal spraying. Laser cladding produces a metallurgically well-bonded clad layer with a lower dilution ratio and few defects. Based on the characteristics of a 1-pass clad layer with many parameters, which were investigated in a previous report, it was found that it was essential to overlap a 1-pass clad layer when cladding a large area. In this study, the shape differences of multi-pass clad layers with various overlapping ratios were compared. Then, the alloying element distribution of cladding with a certain overlapping ratio was investigated using EDS and EPMA. As the overlapping ratio increased, the length of the clad decreased and its height increased. In addition, the height of the multi-pass cladding was higher than that of the 1-pass cladding under the same condition. The Fe content of the highly diluted first clad was found to be approximately 20 % in an element analysis. However in the area outside of the first clad, the Fe content was decreased to 10 % as a result of minimum dilution, and a uniform distribution of elements was found.

Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is an effective and cost efficient method of removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and petroleum hydrocarbons from unsaturated soils. Incorporating PVDs in an SVE system can extend the effectiveness of SVE to lower permeability soils by shortening the air flow-paths and ultimately expediting contaminant removal. With this approach, the real bounded system is replaced for the purposes of analysis by an imaginary system of infinite areal extent. The boundary conditions for the contaminant remediation model test include constant head and no flow condition. Due to these parallel boundaries conditions, image wells should be developed in order to maintain the condition of no flow across the impermeable boundary. It is also assumed that the flow is drawdown along the constant head boundary condition. The factors contributing to the difference between the theoretical and measured pressure heads were also analyzed. The flow factor increases as the flow rate is increased. The flow rate is the most important factor that affects the difference between the measured and theoretical pressure heads.

After 1995, as a part of national geographic information system project, there are a lot of researches about combinations and connections of national geographic information system. However, systematic standard for combinations and connections of geographic information is uncertain, and each organization has different identification system which leads to difficulties in connection of geographic information system. This study suggests repeating method about geographic information objects to grant UFID based on national standards of geographic information system, and analyzes the repeating rate.

In this paper, comparisons of the superimposition schemes for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system are made. The time domain superimposition of data (TDSD) has a tradeoff between the degree of freedom for data transmission and inter-carrier interference (ICI). While SPPT and APSB experiences the increases of interference as the transmit data rate increases, TDSD can effectively improve spectral efficiency by exploiting preprocessing structures which prevents interference between the signals in the different domain. TDSD which we proposed is compared with the conventional superimposition schemes or OFDM, such as SPPT (the superimposed periodic pilot in the time domain) and APSB (the added pilot semi-blind channel estimation) by simulation. As the result, comparing the conventional OFDM, TDSD can increase the spectral efficiency up to about 20% with the superimposition factor M=16 while SPPT has the similar efficiency. APSB has the worst efficiency.

This paper proposes an optimization strategy for performing Federated Learning between devices and edge clouds using WebAssembly (WASM). The proposed strategy aims to maximize efficiency by conducting partial training on devices and the remaining training on edge clouds. Specifically, it mathematically describes and evaluates methods to optimize data transfer between GPU memory segments and the overlapping of computational tasks to reduce overall training time and improve GPU utilization. Through various experimental scenarios, we confirmed that asynchronous data transfer and task overlap significantly reduce training time, enhance GPU utilization, and improve model accuracy. In scenarios where all optimization techniques were applied, training time was reduced by 47%, GPU utilization improved to 91.2%, and model accuracy increased to 89.5%. These results demonstrate that asynchronous data transfer and task overlap effectively reduce GPU idle time and alleviate bottlenecks. This study is expected to contribute to the performance optimization of Federated Learning systems in the future.
