The first mission for the IoT based hyper-connectivity communication is developing a device-to-device communication technique in infra-less low-power and lossy networks. In a low-power and lossy wireless network, IoT devices and routers cannot keep the original path toward the destination since they have the limited memory. Different from the previous light-weight routing protocols focusing on the reduction of the control messages, the proposed scheme provides the light-weight IPv6 address auto-configuration, IPv6 neighbor discovery and routing protocol in a IoT capable infra-less wireless networks with the bloom filer and enhanced rank concepts. And for the first time we evaluate our proposed scheme based on the modeling of various probability distributions in the IoT environments with the lossy wireless link. Specifically, the proposed enhanced RPL based light-weight routing protocol improves the robustness with the multi-paths locally established based on the enhanced rank concepts even though lossy wireless links are existed. We showed the improvements of the proposed scheme up to 40% than the RPL based protocol.

자동차 운반용 선박(PCTC) 건조 시, 자동차를 고정시키기 위해 약 5 만 여개의 Lashing Socket(6,700 Units PCTC 기준)이 소요되는데, 이때 사용되는 Lashing Socket 은 용도 및 형태에 따라 Hole Cup, Flush Cloverleaf Type Pot, Raised Cloverleaf Type Pot, D-Ring, Crinkle Bar 등으로 구분된다. 이와 같이 다양한 종류 중에서 Hole cup 타입이 전체 적용되는 Lashing Socket 의 약 80%에 이른다. 기존에 사용되고 있는 자동용접장치는 Hole Cup 이외에는 적용이 불가능하고, 자석을 이용하여 Hole Cup 의 상부에 위치시키는 방식이었기 때문에 경량화 및 다양한 종류 및 크기의 Lashing Socket 에 적용이 가능한 자동용접장비의 개발이 요구되었다. 본 연구에서는 두께가 다른 $\phi$140 Hole Cup 및 Flush Cloverleaf Type Pot, Raised Cloverleaf Type Pot 에 적용 가능하며, 분리형 용접캐리지와 Centering Template, Magnet Jig 로 구성된 연속 및 단속 용접이 가능한 자동용접장치를 연구 개발하였다. 이를 통해 종래 Hole Cup 전용 자동용접 캐리지의 문제점을 개선하여, 작업자가 Centering Template 과 Magnetic Jig 을 이용하여 캐리지를 Hole Cup 의 중앙에 위치시키기 용이하게 하였다. 이 같은 분리형 장치 구성을 통해 Hole Cup 중앙에 캐리지 고정 작업과 용접 작업을 분리함으로써 자동용접이 진행되는 도중에 여분의 Jig를 이용하여 다른 Hole Cup 에 용접 준비를 하여 연속적인 작업이 가능하도록 하였다. 본 연구는 종래의 Hole Cup 전용 자동용접 캐리지의 문제점을 개선한 분리형 용접 캐리지를 개발함으로써 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 용접 캐리지를 포함하여 각 부분별 분리를 통해 작업자가 1 회 이동 시 필요로 하는 중량을 감소시켜 장비의 이동 및 제어가 쉽다. 2. Magnetic Jig 를 Centering Template 에 결합하고, Template 의 Jig 를 Lashing Socket 에 결합함으로써 손쉽게 Lashing Socket 의 중심부를 찾을 수 있으므로 용접 캐리지의 정확한 센터 고정이 가능하다. 3. 엔코더에 의한 1 회전을 검출함으로써, 작업 종료 후, 어떤 위치에서나 작업 재개가 가능하며 원점 복귀 작업이 불필요하다. 또한 엔코더에 의한 거리 설정으로 용접 속도에 상관없이 동일한 거리만큼 오버랩 용접이 가능하다. 4 디지털 방식으로 용접 조건의 입력이 가능하고, 용접 조건을 D/B 화 함으로써 Control Panel 상에서의 자동 제어가 가능하다. 이를 통해 연속 용접 또는 단속 용접이 가능하므로 다양한 형태의 Lashing Socket 을 자동 용접할 수 있는 효과가 있다. 이상의 결과를 통해 본 장비가 Fig.2 의 3 가지 종류의 Lashing Socket 용접에 효과적인 장비임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In a situation where the amount of bulky waste needs to be quantified, a three-dimensional model of the wastes can be constructed using drones. This study constructed a drone-based 3D model with a range of flight parameters and a GCPs survey, analyzed the relationship between the accuracy and time required, and derived a suitable drone application technique to estimate the amount of waste in a short time. Images of waste were photographed using the drone and auto-matching was performed to produce a model using 3D coordinates. The accuracy of the 3D model was evaluated by RMSE calculations. An analysis of the time required and the characteristics of the top 15 models with high accuracy showed that the time required for Model 1, which had the highest accuracy with an RMSE of 0.08, was 954.87 min. The RMSE of the 10th 3D model, which required the shortest time (98.27 min), was 0.15, which is not significantly different from that of the model with the highest accuracy. The most efficient flight parameters were a high overlapping ratio at a flight altitude of 150 m (60-70% overlap and 30-40% sidelap) and the minimum number of GCPs required for image matching was 10.

The purpose of this study is to consider usefulness of using AEC mode and importance of patient center location in L-spine lateral radiography by comparing dose and image quality according to the change of patient center location with using AEC mode or not. In this study, guide wire is attached to the human body phantom's lumbar spine and the lead ruler is attached to the bottom of the wall detector to find out center location in detector. ESD, mAs, and EI were selected as dose factors, and image quality was compared through SNR. With the lumbar spine located center of the detector, dose factors and image quality were compared according to using AEC mode or not. Afterwards, phantom moved 4 cm and 8 cm back and forth and compared dose factors and image quality. The exposure parameters were 85 kVp, 320 mA, x-ray field size 10×17 inch, and the distance between the center X-ray and the detector was fixed at 100 cm. The center X-ray was perpendicular to the fourth lumbar spine and the only bottom AEC chamber was used. All data were analyzed by independent t-test and ANOVA. As a result of this study, with AEC when the center is matched, ESD was 1.31±0.01 mGy, without AEC was 2.12±0.01 mGy. SNR was shown to be 22.81±1.83, and 23.44±1.87 respectively. When the phantom's center moves 4 cm, 8 cm forward, and 4 cm, 8 cm backward, ESD were 1.09±0.004 mGy, 0.32±0.003 mGy, 1.19±0.017 mGy, 1.11±0.006 mGy respectively, SNR were 18.29±0.60 dB, 11.11±0.22 dB, 18.98±0.80 dB, 17.71±0.82 dB. Using AEC in L-spine lateral radiography reduced ESD by 38%, EI by 35%, and mAs by 38%, without any difference in SNR(p<0.05). When the phantom's center moves 4 cm, 8 cm forward, and 4 cm, 8 cm backward, ESD was decreasing each 16%, 75%, 9%, 15%, EI was decreasing each 14%, 77%, 15%, 20%, mAs was decreasing each 15% 75% 9%, 15%. SNR was decreasing each 19%, 51%, 17%, 22%.

Recently, in the security token based authentication system, there is an increasing trend of using fingerprint for the token holder verification, instead of passwords. However, the security of the fingerprint data is particularly important as the possible compromise of the data will be permanent. In this paper, we propose an approach for secure fingerprint verification by distributing both the secret and the computation based on the fuzzy vault(a cryptographic construct which has been proposed for crypto-biometric systems). That is, a user fingerprint template which is applied to the fuzzy vault is divided into two parts, and each part is stored into a security token and a server, respectively. At distributing the fingerprint template, we consider both the security level and the verification accuracy. Then, the geometric hashing technique is applied to solve the fingerprint alignment problem, and this computation is also distributed over the combination of the security token and the server in the form of the challenge-response. Finally, the polynomial can be reconstructed from the accumulated real points from both the security token and the server. Based on the experimental results, we confirm that our proposed approach can perform the fuzzy vault-based fingerprint verification more securely on a combination of a security token and a server without significant degradation of the verification accuracy.

'Movement' is an expanded concept of 'place' where people act, interact with one another and achieve a specific purpose at every moment. Wheelchairs, as a mobility aid, have a profound impact on improving the quality of physical and psychological well-being for the mobility disadvantaged groups who have mobility difficulties. Such mobility aids were developed mainly for outdoor activities, but in recent years, mobility aids for indoor spaces, the main living environment, are also being developed. Because indoor mobility aids generally move short distances repeatedly, this study examined the characteristics of lithium-ion batteries in short-distance driving of battery-powered wheelchairs and compared them with the characteristics of lithium-ion batteries in continuous driving. The result showed that the driving time for short-distance driving was 2.8% shorter than that of continuous driving. The current supplied to the motor was 15.4% higher for short-distance driving than that of continuous driving.

In a nuclear power plant (NPP), periodic sensor calibrations are required to assure sensors are operating correctly. However, only a few faulty sensors are found to be calibrated. For the safe operation of an NPP and the reduction of unnecessary calibration, on-line calibration monitoring is needed. In this paper, principal component-based Auto-Associative support vector regression (PCSVR) was proposed for the sensor signal validation of the NPP. It utilizes the attractive merits of principal component analysis (PCA) for extracting predominant feature vectors and AASVR because it easily represents complicated processes that are difficult to model with analytical and mechanistic models. With the use of real plant startup data from the Kori Nuclear Power Plant Unit 3, SVR hyperparameters were optimized by the response surface methodology (RSM). Moreover the statistical techniques are integrated with PCSVR for the failure detection. The residuals between the estimated signals and the measured signals are tested by the Shewhart Control Chart, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA), Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) and generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) to detect whether the sensors are failed or not. This study shows the GLRT can be a candidate for the detection of sensor drift.

In this study, the applicability of replacing DG(Desulfurized Gypsum) from oil refinery with CCCMs(Carbon dioxide Conversion Capture Materials) as an ALC(Auto-claved LIghtweight Concrete) raw material was examined, and basic properties of ALC was measured. The main chemical components of DG and CCCMs were CaO and SO₃, and an increase in LOI(Loss of ignition) due to mineral carbonation reaction was verified. The crystalline phases of CCCMs were CaCO₃, CaSO₄, Ca(OH)₂, and CaSO₄·2H₂O. When DG, a raw material for ALC production, was replaced with CCCMs, foaming height, pore shape, absolute dry gravity, and compressive strength results measured similar for all binders. In addition, the formation of tobermorite which is main crystalline phase of ALC was shown for all specimens in microstructural analysis.

We evaluated the effectiveness of TL (Time Limit) method by comparing with NTL (Non-time limit) method when it is used for examinations for abdomen Anterior Posterior (AP) in this paper. The evaluation was conducted based on the comparison of dose, and of signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to ratio (CNR) on both methods. The experiments were conducted with XGEO GC 80 (Samsung, Korea), Unfors ThinX RAD (Unfors, Sweden) and Rando Phantom (Alderson research laboratories, USA) and shielding material with the size of $5.5{\times}9{\times}0.1cm^3$. It was set to activate only two upper ionization chambers in automatic exposure control(AEC) mode and the tube-voltage was set to 80kVp. When the exposure time was limited, it is limited to 51 msec. The images both by NTL AEC method and TL AEC method were acquired when with and without attachment of shielding material on the upper ionization chambers. The images were evaluated by SNR and CNR which are the image evaluation methods using 'Image J'. The NTL AEC method showed increases in dose as much as 130.7% at maximum and 80% at minimum than other methods. The TL AEC method showed decreases in mAs and exposure dose than the NTL AEC method as much as 43.8% and 44.4% respectively. There were no significant differences in SNR or CNR for the experiments (($p{\geq}0.05$). Therefore, it is suggested that the TLAEC mode is more effective when examining patients who have high BMI index or a patient with a metallic substance in the body after surgery.
