That's the reason why LED lighting has to employ AC power inlet. However, LED is a kind of diode, semiconductor, it's driven by DC power. With whis reason all of LED lighting should have AC/DC converter in its systems. This converter causes energy loss, it's the target for lesson the energy loss. To reduce this energy loss, DC power distribution structure can be used. LED lighting system using LVDC is a kind of DC power distribution structure, but LVDC has severe voltage drop which makes non-uniform brightness in lighting system. In this paper, we suggest a novel structure for the uniform brightness in LVDC LED lighting system using IoT based network system. The constructed test-bed system of suggested structure shows this structure can con control the brightness with uniformity.

In this study the modal characteristics and responses of an asymmetric structure with added viscoelastic dampers were investigated for design parameters such as eccentricity of stiffness and added dampers, the loss factor of the damping materials used. For modal characteristics, variation of the quantities such as natural frequencies, modal damping ratios, modal participation factors, and dynamic amplification factors were observed, and displacements at flexible and stiff edges, and at center of mass were obtained. Based on the results, the problem of the optimum damper distribution to minimize the torsional effects was addressed, and the proposed method for optimum damper distribution was applied to a multi-story structure to verify the applicability Finally the effect of viscous and viscoelastic dampers were compared by varying the loss factor of the viscoelastic material.

In order to prepare allowable guidelines for weight loss for packed agricultural produces during distribution after harvest, resipration and transpiration rates were investigated for fruits such as peach, apple, pear, persimon and mandarin which produced in Korea. Respiration and transpiration rates were widely different from cultivar and harvesting season among same produces. Respiration rates were increased as an environmental temperature was increased. Moisture amount that produced by respiration in five fruits was 3.55∼107.67mg/kg/h and those moisture amounts were considered as no much influence for the strength of cartons for packing of fruits. Moisture amount produced from transpiration was 24 ∼ 1,195g for 15kg packing unit of fruits in 5 days. after harvest.

The use of special gas masks such as PAPR is strongly required for the safe and efficient work of fire-fighters in removing fire residue and rescue activity. Special gas masks commonly use canisters with carbon activated particles. This paper analyzed the pressure distribution, velocity distribution and pressure loss characteristics in canisters using CFD simulation, and showed pressure drops are affected by inlet air velocity, canister geometry and increase dramatically especially with the decrease of particle diameters and volume fractions.

The aim of this study is to improve the purification efficiency of odor gas by increasing the contact area between an odor gas and adsorbent. To analyze the flow in the adsorption tower, the flow characteristics in the hollow activated carbon-adsorption tower are identified by applying the loss model, which is a porous flow analysis model. The flow characteristics are investigated for pressure loss, velocity distribution, turbulent kinetic energy, and residence time distribution. The results show that the hollow adsorption tower performs better than the solid adsorption tower in terms of pressure loss and performance. The inner diameter of the hollow region inside the adsorption tower is 0.64 m (Di/Do = 0.37). Furthermore, the adsorbent performance is unaffected even when adsorbent stages are installed to replace the adsorbent.

Nowdays, the awareness of implant treatment has grown rapidly among dentists and patients alike in Korea, as it becomes a widely accepted treatment. The reason is that unlike crown and bridge or denture treatment, implant treatment helps preserve existing bone and improve masticatory functions. So, It is needed understanding about the type, distribution of implant patient. The following results on patient type and implant distribution were compiled from 4433 implant cases of 1596 patients treated at the periodontal dept. of Y University Hospital during 1992 to 2004. 1. There are no dissimilarities between men and women, with patients in their 40, 50s accounting for 52.5% of patients and 57.5% of implant treatments; the largest share of patients and implant treatments. 2. Mn. posterior area accounted for 54.9% of implant treatments followed by Mx. posterior area(27.6%), Mx anterior area(11.9%) and Mn anterior area(5.6%). 3. Partial edentulous patients treated by single crown and bridge-type prosthesis accounted for 97.5% and fully edentulous patient accounted for the remaining 2.5%. 4. The major cause of tooth loss is periodontal disease, followed by dental caries, trauma and congenital missing. Also, older people are more likely to suffer from tooth loss due to periodontal disease rather than dental caries. 5. In the distribution of bone quality for maxillae, type III was most, followed by type II, r type IV and r type I. As for mandible, type II was most, followed by type III, type IV and for type I. 6. In the distribution of bone quantity for maxillae, type C was most, followed by type B, type D, type A, and for type E. As for mandible, type B was 52% most, followed by type C, type D, type A and type E. 7. The majority of implants were those of 1O-14mm in length (85.2%) and regular diameter in width (64%). The results provided us with basic data on patient type, implant distribution, bone condition, etc. We wish that our results coupled with other research data helps assist in the further study for better implant success/survival rates, etc.

Acoustic radiation from a submerged elastic shell with an internal fluid surrounded by the bubble layer is studied with the modal theory. An omni-directional point source located on the center of the internal fluid is used as acoustic noise source. The unknown coefficients of modal solutions are solved using the interface conditions between media. To preserve the stability of the modal solution over wide frequency ranges, the scaled technique of modal solution is used. The bubble layer is modeled with four kinds of bubble distribution; uni-modal distribution, uniform distribution, normal distribution, and power-law distribution, based on the effective medium theory of Commander and Prosperetti. For each bubble distribution, the insertion losses are mainly calculated for the frequency. In addition, the numerical simulations are performed depending in the bubble void fraction, the material property of elastic shell, and the gap between the bubble layer and the elastic shell.

A stochastic model for an inventory system in which depletion of stock takes place due to random demand as well as random loss of items is studied under the assumption that the intervals between successive unit demands, as well as those between successive unit losses are independently and identically distributed random variables having negative exponential distribution with respective parameters. We have derived the steady state probability distribution of the stock level assuming instantaneous delivery of order under (s, S) inventory policy. Also we have derived total expected cost expression and the necessary conditions to be satisfied for an optimal solution.

This paper suggests the Ethernet aggregation to XGMII framing procedure (EAXFP) mechanism to economically combine the traffic adaptation technology with the link aggregation method in designing 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) interfaces. This design sidesteps the data-loss issues that can result from designing an interface with only one link. The most critical issue in relation to the link aggregation interface is the algorithm used to control frame distribution between the ten ports. The proposed EAXFP mechanism offers an efficient link aggregation method as well as an efficient frame distribution algorithm, which maximize the throughout of the 10 GbE interface. In the experiment and analysis of the proposed mechanism, it was also discovered that the 10 GbE interface that uses the proposed EAXFP mechanism significantly reduced the packet loss rate. When there will be heavy traffic loads come about in the future, the proposed EAXFP mechanism assures an efficient and economical transmission performance on the router system.
