It is important to select the most appropriate channel for efficient transmission of massive data in wireless sensor network. In the fixed channel method for wireless sensor node, shortage of frequency may be a major constraint to support a variety of environments. In this paper, the method that seeks common channels between two nodes without common control channels in the existing wireless cognitive radio network is introduced in order to use efficiently the channel of wireless sensor network. The problem of existing method shows the severe degradation of performance that is caused by interference of linkage between selected channels, so that the sequential algorithm is suggested to improve the performance. From the results of computer simulation, the suggested method shows that the link can be set 50% faster than the other methods as the number of links increases because the beacon packet waiting time caused by the interference decreases remarkably.

We present a new method of volumetric interferometer, which is intended to measure the three-dimensional coordinates of a moving object in a simultaneous way with a single optical setup. The method is based on the principles of phase-measuring interferometry with phase shifting. Two diffraction point sources, which are made of the polished ends of single-mode optical fibers are embedded on the object. Two spherical wavefronts emanate from the diffraction point sources and interfere with each other within the measurement volume. One wavefront is phase-shifted by elongating the corresponding fiber using a PZT extender. A CCD array sensor fixed at the stationary measurement station detects the resulting interference field. The measured phases are then related to the three-dimensional location of the object with a set of non-liner equations of Euclidean distance, from which the complete set of three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the object is determined through rigorous numerical computation based upon the least square error minimization.

The highly accurate laser holographic interferemotry method was used to determine in what way low-magnitude forces during maxillary expansion are transmitted to the entire maxillary complex and its surrounding structures. The experiments were carried out on a dryed human skull which had a perfectly preserved, normally aligned maxillary dental arch and intact alveolar process. The skull was fixed within a constructed metal frame which ensured maximal stability of the object. The optical equipment and the object were mounted on antivibration table. Interferograms were taken on the lateral and frontal sides of the maxillary complex, using the 10mW He-Ne laser and the double-exposure method. Analysis of the fringe pattern on the recorded object surface was performed by graphically determining the deformation curves related to the bony surface in selected horizontal and vertical planes. On the basis of this study, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. The density of the interference fringes was gradually increased with the degree of expansion force. 2. Mechanical reactions on the maxillary complex, circummaxillary sutures, and surrounding bones were clearly visible, even with the lowest loading degree. 3. The amount of bone displacement was greater in application of the force after $90^{\circ}$ turn than in initial application of the same force. 4. The direction of interference fringes on the bony surface was similar at all loading degrees.

Monopulse technique has been widely used for a bearing estimation of a desired signal. This method can estimate the bearing of the signal with only one pulse, so computational load and complexity are low and its processes are simple. But if the desired signal incidents with interferences or multiple signals exist in the beams, the method fails to estimate correct signal angle. To solve this problem, the method to use adaptive array was proposed. In conventional adaptive array methods, sum beam was formed with fixed weights and ifference beam was formed with adaptive weights determined to minimize beamformer output power with one or more linear constraints, or an algorithm to minimize each sum beam and difference beams simultaneously using adaptively formed one basic beam. Theroretical analyses and simulation results show that the performance of the proposed method is superior to that of conventional algorithms.

Two major obstacles in the utilization of electrical vehicles are their price and range. The collaboration of direct torque control (DTC) with induction motor (IM) is preferred for its low cost, easy implementation, and parameter independency. However, in terms of edges, the method has drawbacks, such as variable switching frequency and undesired current harmonic distortion. These drawbacks result in acoustic noise, reduced efficiency, and electromagnetic interference. A feed-forward approach for stator-flux-oriented DTC with space vector pulse-width modulation is presented in in this paper. The outcome of the proposed method is low current harmonic distortion with fixed switching frequency while preserving the torque performance and simple application feature of basic DTC. The method is applicable to existing and forthcoming IM drive systems via software adaptation. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed by simulation and experimental results.

This paper proposes a method of underwater source localization using the wideband interference patterns matching. By matching two interference patterns in the spectrogram, it is estimated a ratio of the range from source to sensor5, and then this ratio is applied to the Apollonius circle. The Apollonius circle is defined as the locus of all points whose distances from two fixed points are in a constant value so that it is possible to represent the locus of potential source location. The Apollonius circle alone, however still keeps the ambiguity against the correct source location. Therefore another equation is necessary to estimate the unique locus of the source location. By estimating time differences of signal arrivals between source and sensors, the hyperbola equation is used to get the cross point of the two equations, where the point being assumed to be the source position. Simulations are performed to get performances of the proposed algorithm. Also, comparisons with real sea experiment data are made to prove applicability of the algorithm in real environment. The results show that the proposed algorithm successfully estimates the source position within an error bound of 10%.

This paper proposes a new signal detection method, called QR-OSIC with Candidates (QOC) method, for spatially multiplexed multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. By using the ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) algorithm and the maximum likelihood (ML) metric, the proposed method achieves near-ML performance without requiring a large number of candidates. Although the proposed method can be used for both hard and soft decoding systems, it is especially useful for soft decoding systems since the LLR values for all the bits can be efficiently computed without using LLR estimation. The proposed method is also suitable for VLSI implementation since it leads to fixed throughput system.

The location estimation using sensor network has been considerably researched. The methods taking the differences of the forms of location estimation between indoors and outdoors into consideration have been studied. While it is possible for outdoor location to be estimated because outdoor location estimation has a consistent distribution during unit period through the value of RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication) on outdoor location estimation, Indoor location estimation is difficult since multi-path and interference indoors are higher than those outdoors and indoor location estimation can be affected by other factors. In this paper, we revise the information of RSSI changed by multi-path and interference through the Moving Average method and K-means algorithm and propose the method of estimation for the value of RSSI with reliability in the group of signals received during unit period. We also suggest the way to put some weights on fixed nodes in network using a snooping node on location estimation and then evaluate the efficiency of location awareness as compared with the existing method by implementing proposed method on system through the reconfiguration of network.

Multiple-input multiple-output systems can achieve a full sum rate (SR) via full duplex (FD). However, its performance is degraded by self-interference (SI) that occurs between the transmitter and receiver at the same node and thus is constrained by error floors. Conversely, half duplex (HD) can avoid the SI albeit at lower spectral efficiency, and the slope of its error curve is determined by the diversity order. In this study, a link selection scheme based on switching between FD and HD is examined as a simple method to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of FD systems. In the proposed link selection algorithm, either FD or HD is selected based on the received minimum distance and signal-to-interference plus noise ratio. Simulation results indicate that the proposed hybrid FD/HD switching system offers significant BER performance improvement when compared with that of the conventional FD and FD based on only the received minimum distance under the same fixed SR. Under relatively sufficient SI cancellation, it is demonstrated to outperform the HD with a diversity advantage in low and medium signal-to-noise ratio region.

Stroke patients should exercise for the rehabilitation of their fingers, because they can't use their hand and fingers. Their hand and fingers are fixed on the hand fixing system for rehabilitation exercise of them. But the hands clenched the fist of stroke patients are difficult to fix on it. In order to fix the hands and fingers, their palms are pressed with pressing bars and are controlled by reference force. The fixing system must have a five-axis force/moment sensor to force control. In this paper, the five-axis force/moment sensor was developed for the hand fixing system of finger-rehabilitation exercising system. The structure of the five-axis force/moment sensor was modeled, and designed using finite element method(FEM). And it was fabricated with strain-gages, then, its characteristic test was carried out. As a result, the maximum interference error is less than 2.43 %.
