  • 수중 음향통신 환경에서는 지상 RF 통신에 비하여 제한된 대역폭, 높은 페이딩효과, 높은 수중음파 전달지연과 같은 제약이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 수중 음향통신의 제약을 극복하여 효과적인 대규모 수중감시시스템의 구축을 가능케 하는 계층적 네트워크 구조를 제안한다. 제안하는 네트워크구조는 수중센서, 클러스터헤드, 수중/해상 싱크 및 수중무인기를 포함하며, 패킷의 전송성공률을 최대화하고 센서노드의 전력소모를 최소화시키기 위하여 복수의 수중무인기를 이용한 하이브리드 형태의 데이터라우팅을 제공한다. 즉, 클러스터 내부에서 클러스터멤버들은 Tree구조기반 라우팅을 사용하여 클러스터헤드에게 데이터를 전송하며, 궤도 이동을 하는 수중무인기는 클러스터헤드로부터 병합된 센싱데이터를 수집하고 Store-carry-forward 방식으로 싱크노드에게 데이터를 전달한다. 수중무인기의 최장 궤도이동 시간을 최소화하기 위하여 Integer Linear Programming 기반의 알고리즘이 사용된다. 시뮬레이션을 이용한 성능분석을 통하여 제안하는 수중센서네트워크 구조가 기존의 Gradient 기반 라우팅과 Geographical Forwarding 방식에 비해 높은 전송성공율과 낮은 전력소모를 획득할 수 있음을 보인다.

  • 유전체 원주 공진기의 공진주파수는 대칭성을 이용한 전기벽과 자기벽 개념을 도입해서 매우 정확하게 계산할 수 있으나, 유전체 공진기를 지지하기 위한 지지대의 존재 및 지지대의 유전율 등의 영향으로 인하여 유전체 원주 공진기의 구성이 실제로는 비대칭성을 가지므로, 비대칭 유전체공진기의 공진특성을 조사할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 고유함수 전개법을 이용하여 도체 공동 내에 비대칭적으로 위치한 유전체 원주 공진기의 공진특성을 추출하는 관계식을 유도하고 공진주파수를 계산하였다. 실험을 통하여 계산된 공진주파수가 정확함을 확인하였고, 비대칭성이 있는 경우 TE 모드나 하이브리드 모드의 경우보다 TM 모드에 있어서 그 영향이 더 큼을 알 수 있었다.

  • The development of lightweight, low energy and small-sized sensors incorporated with the wireless networks has brought about a phenomenal growth of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in its different fields of applications. Moreover, the routing of data is crucial in a wide number of critical applications that includes ecosystem monitoring, military and disaster management. However, the time-delay, energy imbalance and minimized network lifetime are considered as the key problems faced during the process of data transmission. Furthermore, only when the functionality of cluster head selection is available in WSNs, it is possible to improve energy and network lifetime. Besides that, the task of cluster head selection is regarded as an NP-hard optimization problem that can be effectively modelled using hybrid metaheuristic approaches. Due to this reason, an Improved Coyote Optimization Algorithm-based Clustering Technique (ICOACT) is proposed for extending the lifetime for making efficient choices for cluster heads while maintaining a consistent balance between exploitation and exploration. The issue of premature convergence and its tendency of being trapped into the local optima in the Improved Coyote Optimization Algorithm (ICOA) through the selection of center solution is used for replacing the best solution in the search space during the clustering functionality. The simulation results of the proposed ICOACT confirmed its efficiency by increasing the number of alive nodes, the total number of clusters formed with the least amount of end-to-end delay and mean packet loss rate.

  • 모빌리티 기술의 급격한 성장으로 산업 분야의 수요는 차량 내에 다양한 장비와 센서의 데이터를 안정적으로 처리할 수 있는 저장장치를 요구하고 있다. NAND 플래시 메모리는 외부에 강한 충격뿐만 아니라 저전력, 빠른 데이터 처리 속도의 장점이 있기 때문에 모빌리티 환경의 저장장치로 활용되고 있다. 그러나 플래시 메모리는 고온에 장기 노출될 경우 데이터 손상이 발생할 수 있는 특징이 있다. 따라서 태양 복사열 등 날씨나 외부 열원에 의한 고온 노출이 빈번한 모빌리티 환경에서는 온도를 관리하기 위한 전용 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문은 모빌리티 환경에서 저장장치 온도 관리하기 위한 전용 온도 관리 시스템을 설계한다. 설계한 온도 관리 시스템은 전통적인 공기 냉각 방식과 수 냉각방식의 기술을 하이브리드로 적용하였다. 냉각 방식은 저장장치의 온도에 따라 적응형으로 동작하도록 설계하였으며, 온도 단계가 낮을 경우 동작하지 않도록 설계하여 에너지 효율을 높였다. 마지막으로 실험을 통해 각 냉각방식과 방열재질의 차이 따른 온도 차이를 분석하였고, 온도 관리 정책이 성능을 유지하는데 효과가 있음을 증명하였다.

  • This study proposes an innovative methodology for developing flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) capable of conforming to three-dimensional shapes, meeting the increasing demand for electronic circuits in diverse and complex product designs. By integrating a traditional flat plate-based fabrication process with a subsequent three-dimensional thermal deformation technique, we have successfully demonstrated an FPCB that maintains stable electrical characteristics despite significant shape deformations. Using a modified polyimide substrate along with Ag flake-based conductive ink, we identified optimized process variables that enable substrate thermal deformation at lower temperatures (~130℃) and enhance the stretchability of the conductive ink (ε ~30%). The application of this novel FPCB in a prototype 3D-shaped sensor device, incorporating photosensors and temperature sensors, illustrates its potential for creating multifunctional, shape-adaptable electronic devices. The sensor can detect external light sources and measure ambient temperature, demonstrating stable operation even after transitioning from a planar to a three-dimensional configuration. This research lays the foundation for next-generation FPCBs that can be seamlessly integrated into various products, ushering in a new era of electronic device design and functionality.

  • Graphene is a sp2-hybridized carbon sheet with an atomic-level thickness and a wide range of graphene applications has been intensely investigated due to its unique electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. In particular, hybrid graphene structures combined with various nanomaterials have been studied in energy- and sensor-based applications due to the high conductivity, large surface area and enhanced reactivity of the nanostructures. Conventional metal-catalytic growth method, however, makes useful applications difficult since a transfer process, used to separate graphene from the metal substrate, should be required. Recently several papers have been published on direct graphene growth on the two dimensional planar substrates, but it is necessary to explore a direct growth of hierarchical nanostructures for the future graphene applications. In this study, uniform graphene layers were successfully synthesized on highly dense dielectric nanowires (NWs) without any external catalysts. We also demonstrated that the graphene morphology on NWs can be controlled by the growth parameters, such as temperature or partial pressure in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system. This direct growth method can be readily applied to the fabrication of nanoscale graphene electrode with designed structures because a wide range of nanostructured template is available. In addition, we believe that the direct growth growth approach and morphological control of graphene are promising for the advanced graphene applications such as super capacitors or bio-sensors.

  • In order to verify the enhancement of ozone and carbon monoxide (CO) during springtime in East Asia, we investigated weather conditions and data from remote sensors, air quality models, and air quality monitors. These include the geopotential height archived from the final (FNL) meteorological field, the potential vorticity and the wind velocity simulated by the Meteorological Mesoscale Model 5 (MM5), the back trajectory estimated by the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model, the total column amount of ozone and the aerosol index retrieved from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), the total column density of CO retrieved from the Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT), and the concentration of ozone and CO simulated by the Model for Ozone and Related Chemical Tracers (MOZART). In particular, the total column density of CO, which mightoriginate from the combustion of fossil fuels and the burning of biomass in China, increased in East Asia during spring 2000. In addition, the enhancement of total column amounts of ozone and CO appeared to be associated with both the upper cut-off low near 500 hPa and the frontogenesis of a surface cyclone during a weak Asian dust event. At the same time, high concentrations of ozone and CO on the Earth's surface were shown at the Seoul air quality monitoring site, located at the surface frontogenesis in Korea. It was clear that the ozone was invaded by the downward stretched vortex anomalies, which included the ozone-rich airflow, during movement and development of the cut-off low, and then there was the catalytic photochemical reaction of ozone precursors on the Earth's surface during the day. In addition, air pollutants such as CO and aerosol were tracked along both the cyclone vortex and the strong westerly as shown at the back trajectory in Seoul and Busan, respectively. Consequently, the maxima of ozone and CO between the two areas showed up differently because of the time lag between those gases, including their catalytic photochemical reactions together with the invasion from the upper troposphere, as well as the path of their transport from China during the weak Asian dust event.

  • How is the flow in a rotating impeller. About 35 years have passed since one experimentalist rotating with the impeller. of a huge centrifugal blower made the flow measurements using a hot-wire anemometer (Fowler 1968). Optical measurement methods have great advantages over the intrusive methods especially for the flow measurement in a rotating impeller. One is the optical flow visualization (FV) technique (Senoo, et al., 1968) and the other is the application of laser velocimetry (LV) (Hah and Krain, 1990). Particle image velocimetries (PIVs) combine major features of both FV and LV, and are very attractive due to the feasibility of simultaneous and multi-points measurements (Hayami and Aramaki, 1999). A high-pressure-ratio transonic centrifugal compressor with a low-solidity cascade diffuser was tested in a closed loop with HFC134a gas at 18,000rpm (Hayami, 2000). Two kinds of measurement techniques by image processing were applied to visualize a flow in the compressor. One is a velocity field measurement at the inducer of the impeller using a PIV and the other is a pressure field measurement on the side wall of the cascade diffuser using a pressure sensitive paint (PSP) measurement technique. The PIV was successfully applied for visualization of an unsteady behavior of a shock wave based on the instantaneous velocity field measurement (Hayami, et al., 2002b) as well as a phase-averaged velocity vector field with a shock wave over one blade pitch (Hayami, et al., 2002a. b). A violent change in pressure was successfully visualized using a PSP measurement during a surge condition even though there are still some problems to be overcome (Hayami, et al., 2002c). Both PIV and PSP results are discussed in comparison with those of laser-2-focus (L2F) velocimetry and those of semiconductor pressure sensors. Experimental fluid dynamics (EFDs) are still growing up more and more both in hardware and in software. On the other hand, computational fluid dynamics (CFDs) are very attractive to understand the details of flow. A secondary flow on the side wall of the cascade diffuser was visualized based either steady or unsteady CFD calculations (Bonaiuti, et al.,2002). EFD and CFD methods will be combined to a hybrid method being complementary to each other. Measurement techniques by image processing as well as CFD calculations give a huge amount of data. Then, data mining technique will become more important to understand the flow mechanism both for EFD and CFD.
