Various reflectometry methods to locate power cable fault have been studied. But, most related studies has been verifying by simulation and laboratory test and study in conditions similar with real cable fault filed was not performed due to the absence of cable fault test field. Therefore, this paper design and construct test field for the standardized performance test and the operating education of cable fault location equipments. In the constructed test, open, short, half open and poor contact fault at 100m, 200m location of cable was produced and 1km cable role was installed for maximum distance measurement test. The test field will be used in the development and standardization of cable fault location technology, and te performance evaluation and certificate test of the related equipments.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the location of the outlets in the mechanical ventilation system installed in apartment. We performed the numerical analysis to estimate the ventilation effectiveness and the indoor $CO_2$ concentration considering the occupants and the condition with inlet and outlet in each room. From the numerical results, modified location of the outlets is about 10% high than designed one with respect to the ventilation effectiveness when the occupants are not considered. But designed location of inlet and outlet in living room and kitchen is better than modified one with respect to the reduction of $CO_2$ concentration in the living room and kitchen with occupants. In case of our model, Air change per hour (0.7) is not enough to sustain the acceptable criteria of $CO_2$ concentration (1000ppm) in the room with the occupants

REMICON(Ready Mixed Concrete), the most essential material of construction work, is produced from facility called "Batcher plant." In order to produce Remicon, Batcher Plant needs to be supplied with basic raw material such as ballast, sand, cement, admixture and water. In remicon industry, overland transport vehicles are used during the whole manufacturing process from producing to infilling at the construction site. Thus, the transportation cost sums up be to 20 percent of whole manufacturing cost and transport capacity and distance travelled have direct and major effect on manufacturing costs. This paper suggests a method to find optimal location of batcher plant using modified Steiner point, suggesting the most effective and flexible connection through among construction site, aggregate, cement and remicon producing plant. This paper also proposes reducing of transport cost at maximum 60% by calculation through optimized plant location. The modified Steiner point theory proposed in this paper also can be applied to optimal location of a $2^{ry}$ substation or MCC panel for minimizing of power loss, voltage drop, line distance and etc.

The location and human activity are usually used as one of the important parameters to monitor the health status in healthcare devices. However, nearly all existing location and monitoring systems have the limitation of short-range communication and high power consumption. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism to collect and transmit monitoring information based on LoRa technology. The monitoring device with sensors can collect the real-time activity and location information and transmit them to the cloud server through LoRa gateway. The user can check all his history and current information through the specific designed mobile applications. Experiment was carried out to verify the communication, power consumption and monitoring performance of the entire system. Experimental results demonstrate that this system can collect monitoring and activity information accurately and provide the long rang coverage with low power consumption.

인간의 가장 큰 욕구인 편의와 안전을 위해 우리의 곁에서 떨어질 수 없는 것이 차량이다. 그러므로 차량을 이용하면서 겪게 되는 안전과 편의 또한 떼어놓을 수 없는 문제 중에 하나다. 그 편의와 안전을 위해 VANET이 활발히 개발 중이다. VANET은 차량에서 사용되는 근거리/중거리 통신용 무선 프로토콜로써 차량 간 통신인 V2V, 차량과 네트워크 기반구조 간의 통신인 V2I를 지원하는 네트워크로써 다양한 서비스를 제공한다. 이에 학문적, 상업적으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 네트워크 기반의 기술인만큼 사용자의 프라이버시 침해가 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이 중에서도 사용자의 익명성, 추적성, 객체인증에 관한 Location Privacy는 개발과정에서 큰 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 VANET에서의 Location Privacy 보호에 대한 기술들의 개략적인 내용을 서술하고, 장단점을 분석하였다. Location Privacy 보호를 위한 기술에는 해쉬통합을 이용한 보호기술, MAC-체인을 이용한 보호기술, 그리고 세션 키 교환을 이용한 보호기술이 있다. 세 가지 기술 중에서 MAC-체인을 이용한 기술이 Location Privacy 보호에 가장 적합하다.

The effect of bio-logger tagging location on blood characteristics and bio-logger attachment efficiency in spotted sea bass (mean body weight 2356.7 g) was investigated. The fish were tagged at four different tagging locations: no-tag (control), operculum attachment (OA), dorsal muscle attachment (DA), and cauda peduncle muscle attachment (CA). The blood properties and bio-logger attachment efficiencies were examined on days 1, 7, 14, and 35 after tagging the bio-logger at each tagging location. During the experimental periods, the concentrations of hematocrit and hemoglobin in whole blood, and GOT (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase), GPT (glutamic pyruvic transaminase), total protein (TP), glucose, total cholesterol, cortisol, and superoxide dismutase in plasma were not affected by the attachment location of the bio-logger, however, the TP concentration was significantly lower in OA than in the control group on day 7. After tagging for 35 days, the efficiencies of bio-logger attachment in the OA, DA, and CA after tagging for 35 days were 33.3%, 100.0%, and 33.3%, respectively. These results indicate that, in our experimental condition, the most appropriate bio-logger attachment location is DA, providing basic information on bio-logger utilization methods for ecological and biological biotelemetry surveys of the spotted sea bass.

In the indoor location estimation system, which has recently been actively studied, the received signal strength indicator contains a high level of noise when measuring the signal strength in the range between two nodes consisting of a receiver and a transceiver. To minimize the noise level, this paper proposes an improved adaptive smoothing filter that provides different exponential weights to the current value and previous averaged one of the data that were obtained from the nodes, because the characteristic signal attenuation of the received signal strength indicator generally has a log distribution. The proposed method can effectively decrease the noise level by using a feedback filter that can provide different weights according to the noise level of the obtained data and thus increase the accuracy in the distance and location without an additional filter such as the link quality indicator, which can verify the communication quality state to decrease the range errors in the indoor location recognition using ZigBee based on IEEE 802.15.4. For verifying the performance of the proposed improved adaptive smoothing filter, actual experiments are conducted in three indoor locations of different spatial sections. From the experimental results, it is verified that the proposed technique is superior to other techniques in range measurement.

In recent years, construction worker safety in construction site is important. Especially, the frequent collapse accidents have happened in tunnels, utility tunnel and underground structure, so that the importance of worker safety is greatly emphasized. It is difficult to communicate with other workers in underground space, using the current cable or wireless communicator. When the accident is occurred, it can't rescue workers. This is the reason that it has a deficiency to find a location of survivor and communicate rescure crew and field workers. In this paper we extract the optimal technical factors of USFSS(Underground Structure Field Support System) based on integrated technique of wireless communication and location awareness. And USFSS developed in this study is suited for bad environment of underground structure construction and able to track 3D position of laborer and communicate mutually.

Location-based services (LBS) are increasingly popular due to the improvement of geo-positioning capabilities and wireless communication technology. However, in order to enjoy LBS services, a user requesting a query must send his/her exact location to the LBS provider. Therefore, it is a key challenge to preserve user's privacy while providing LBS. To solve this problem, the existing method employs a 2PASS cloaking framework that not only hides the actual user location but also reduces bandwidth consumption. However, 2PASS does not fully guarantee the actual user privacy because it does not take the real user distribution into account. Hence, in this paper, we propose a nearest neighbor query processing algorithm that supports K-anonymity property based on the weighted adjacency graph(WAG). Our algorithm not only preserves the location of a user by guaranteeing k-anonymity in a query region, but also improves a bandwidth usage by reducing unnecessary search for a query result. We demonstrate from experimental results that our algorithm outperforms the existing one in terms of query processing time and bandwidth usage.

GPIR(GPS Position Information Revision) system is a new concept of GPS system which utilizes database containing the location of taking a picture by the existing GPS, an angle between a camera and a subject and the location information of buildings and minimizes the GPS's own margin of error and there by provides the services, such as location-guiding via GPS and way-guiding via navigation in an exact and precision way more than before. GPIR system comprehends the location of taking photos via GPS information saved in G-files, searches database in the direction of taking a photo at a photo-taking position via location information and the photo-taking directional angle. And GPIR system corrects the GPS information searched to the location of a subject, again saves such information in a G-file and is ready for receiving more detailed location of the subject. This study explores into the design and development of a receiver which a GPIR user is able to utilize its system as well as the design of the receiver's prototypes.
