The wireless sensor network (WSN) based on ad hoc network is applied to vehicle parking guide system without parking guide man at area or building with large scale of parking lots. The optimum number of cluster heads was derived for getting the minimum power consumption as well as time delay. Through the theoretical analysis of power consumption and time delay with the number of cluster heads in wireless sensor network, it was found that there exists the minimum point in the variation of power consumption and time delay according to the number of cluster heads.

This paper deals with missile autopilot design for agile turn phase in air-to-air engagement scenarios. To attain a fast response, angle-of-attack (AOA) is adopted for an autopilot command structure. Since a high operational AOA is generally required during the agile turn phase, dealing with the aerodynamic uncertainties can be a challenge for autopilot design. As a remedy, a new controller design method based on robust nonlinear control methodology such as time delay control is proposed in this paper. Nonlinear observer is also proposed to estimate the AOA in the presence of the model uncertainties. The performance of the proposed controller with variation of the aerodynamic coefficients is investigated through numerical simulations.

In this paper, we consider a generalized rule of retransmission request, identified as (Μ, $\sigma$) rule for multicopy transmission ARQ. Following a revised rule to conform with a strict criterion for requesting a retransmission, we can reduce the probability that a packet accepted by the receiving node is still being infected with errors. In turn, such amendment invokes a degradation of delay and throughput performance. For a quantitative evaluation of (Μ, $\sigma$) rule, we develop an analytical method to calculate probability of error remains, maximum throughput, average and peak delays, and delay variation. From the numerical examples made by use of the analytical method, we observe a performance trade-off between probability of error remains and delay/throughput. We also confirm the adaptability of (Μ, $\sigma$) rule to meet various QoS requirements.

A pyrogen igniter was designed to satisfy the required condition of kick motor system for the space launch vehicle. We analyzed the ignition characteristics and performed the combustion tests to verify the internal ballistic performance. In the design process, the arc-image test was carried out to find the sufficient heat flux as varying the initial pressure from 10 to 700kPa. The analysis indicated that the initial pressure condition would delay ignition time within a range from 100 to 500ms. The combustion test with an inert chamber was also performed to understand the ignition characteristics with the variation of the initial pressure of free chamber volume. Finally, we confirmed that the igniter could provide the acceptable energy to ignite the propellant of kick motor at the ground test. The result of the ground tests showed that the ignition delay time was within the design range at the atmospheric pressure condition.

Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) experience die-to-die variations in addition to the already challenging within-die variations. This adds an additional design complexity and makes variation estimation and full-chip optimization even more challenging. In this paper, we show that the industry standard on-chip variation (AOCV) tables cannot be applied directly to 3D paths that are spanning multiple dies. We develop a new machine learning-based model and methodology for an accurate variation estimation of logic paths in 3D designs. Our model makes use of key parameters extracted from existing GDSII 3D IC design and sign-off simulation database. Thus, it requires no runtime overhead when compared to AOCV analysis while achieving an average accuracy of 90% in variation evaluation. By using our model in a full-chip variation-aware 3D IC physical design flow, we obtain up to 16% improvement in critical path delay under variations, which is verified with detailed Monte Carlo simulations.

Purpose: Recent advancements in molecular techniques have greatly contributed to the discovery of genetic causes of unexplained developmental delay. Here, we describe the results of array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and the clinical features of 27 patients with global developmental delay. Methods: We included 27 children who fulfilled the following criteria: Korean children under 6 years with global developmental delay; children who had at least one or more physical or neurological problem other than global developmental delay; and patients in whom both array CGH and G-banded karyotyping tests were performed. Results: Fifteen male and 12 female patients with a mean age of $29.3{\pm}17.6months$ were included. The most common physical and neurological abnormalities were facial dysmorphism (n=16), epilepsy (n=7), and hypotonia (n=7). Pathogenic copy number variation results were observed in 4 patients (14.8%): 18.73 Mb dup(2)(p24.2p25.3) and 1.62 Mb del(20p13) (patient 1); 22.31 Mb dup(2) (p22.3p25.1) and 4.01 Mb dup(2)(p21p22.1) (patient 2); 12.08 Mb del(4)(q22.1q24) (patient 3); and 1.19 Mb del(1)(q21.1) (patient 4). One patient (3.7%) displayed a variant of uncertain significance. Four patients (14.8%) displayed discordance between G-banded karyotyping and array CGH results. Among patients with normal array CGH results, 4 (16%) revealed brain anomalies such as schizencephaly and hydranencephaly. One patient was diagnosed with Rett syndrome and one with $M{\ddot{o}}bius$ syndrome. Conclusion: As chromosomal microarray can elucidate the cause of previously unexplained developmental delay, it should be considered as a first-tier cytogenetic diagnostic test for children with unexplained developmental delay.

We propose a cell－multiplexing scheme for the real－time communication service in ATM network and a new service discipline guarantee end-to-end delay based on pseudo-isochronous cell switching. The proposed scheme consists of two level frame hierarchy, upper and lower frame, which is used to assign the bandwidth and to guarantee the requested delay bound, respectively. Since the Proposed algorithm employs two level frame hierarchy, it can overcome the coupling problem which is inherent to the framing strategy It can be comparatively reduce the complexity, and still guarantee the diverse delay bounds of end-to-end. Besides, it consists of two components, traffic controller and scheduller, as the imput traffic description model and regulates the input traffic specification. The function of the traffic controller is to shape real -time traffic to have the same input pattern at every switch along the path. The end-to-end delay is bounded by the scheduller which can limit the delay variation without using per-session jitter controllers, and therefore it can decrease the required buffer size. The proposed algorithm can support the QoS's of non-real time traffic as well as those of real time traffic.

An efficient packet transmit scheduling algorithm should be able to allocate the resource to each connection fairly based on the bandwidth and quality of service requirements negotiated during the call admission procedure and it should be able to isolate the effects of users that are behaving badly. In this paper, we propose an effective round-robin packet transmit scheduling mechanism, which we call the delay tolerant packet reserving scheme (DTPRS) based on delay QoS requirments. The proposed scheme can not only provide fairness and but also reduce delay, delay variation, and packet loss rate by reserving output link time slots of delay tolerant packets and assigning the reserved slotsto delay urgent packets. Our scheme is applicable to high speed networks including ATM network because it only requires O(1) work to process a packet, and is simple enough to implement.

This paper presents a method to control group delay tine using a resonance circuit. The group delay time adjuster(GDTA) that can control signal group delay time comprises a variable capacitance and a variable equivalent inductor. These are coupled in parallel at a node and also controlled by two bias voltages separately, A variable equivalent inductor is realized a transmission line terminated a variable capacitor. Group delay time can be controlled by change of capacitance and inductance, but the resonating frequency is fixed. When the proposed GDTA is fabricated on RFID Korean frequency band$(908.5{\sim}914 MHz)$, a group delay variation is obtained about 3 ns.

The ignition delay of a dual fuel system has been numerically investigated by adopting a constant volume chamber as a model problem simulating diesel engine relevant conditions. A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism, consisting of 28 species and 135 elementary reactions, of dimethyl ether (DME) with methane ($CH_{4}$) sub-mechanism has been used in conjunction with the multi-dimensional reactive flow KIVA-3V code to simulate the autoignition process. The start of ignition was defined as the moment when the maximum temperature in the combustion vessel reached to 1900 K with which a best agreement with existing experiment was achieved. Ignition delays of liquid DME injected into air at various high pressures and temperatures compared well with the existing experimental results in a combustion bomb. When a small quantity of liquid DME was injected into premixtures of $CH_{4}$/air, the ignition delay times of the dual fuel system are longer than that observed with DME only, especially at higher initial temperatures. The variation in the ignition delay between DME only and dual fuel case tend to be constant for lower initial temperatures. It was also found that the predicted values of the ignition delay in dual fuel operation are dependent on the concentration of the gaseous $CH_{4}$ in the chamber charge and less dependent on the injected mass of DME. Temperature and equivalence ratio contours of the combustion process showed that the ignition commonly starts in the boundary at which near stoichiometric mixtures could exists. Parametric studies are also conducted to show the effect of additive such as hydrogen peroxide in the ignition delay. Apart from accurate predictions of ignition delay, the coupling between multi-dimensional flow and multi-step chemistry is essential to reveal detailed features of the ignition process.
