Generally an incandescent lamp is made in the bulb with a horizontal position filament. In this paper the position of filament was changed Into a vortical position. When the position of filament is changed into a vertical position, efficacy is increased and color rendering is somewhat improved. In this subject the heat loss by a filling gas is important. The heat loss by a filling gas was calculated theoretically. The results in an Incandescent lamp experiment can be analyzed through the heat loss by a filling gas. As a filling gas the mixture of argon and nitrogen is used. The variation of lamp characteristics by the shape of filament rill be considered. The change by filament position to a vortical position is required in the field of power consumption saving of lighting system.

GPS sensors provide accurate position and velocity of moving vehicles. However, GPS is weak at intermittent signal loss and large position error. Combination with INS improves the GPS position accuracy during the GPS signal loss. In this paper, a fusion filter using GPS and INS is developed and its perfomance is analyzed with RC car and RC airplane experiments.

This paper proposes a novel tracking algorithm considering radiation to improve the power of a photovoltaic (PV) tracking system. The sensor method used in a conventional PV plant is unable to track the sun's exact position when the intensity of solar radiation is low. It also has the problem of malfunctions in the tracking system due to rapid changes in the climate. The program method generates power loss due to unnecessary operation of the tracking system because it is not adapted to various weather conditions. This tracking system does not increase the power above that of a power of tracking system fixed at a specific position due to these problems. To reduce the power loss, this paper proposes a novel control algorithm for a tracking system and proves the validity of the proposed control algorithm through a comparison with the conventional PV tracking method.

Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is used as one of the ranging techniques to locate dynamic sensor nodes in wireless sensor network. Before it can be used for position estimation, RSSI values must be converted to distances using path loss model. These distances among sensor nodes are combined using trilateration method to find position. This paper presents an idea which attempts to integrate both path loss model and trilateration as one algorithm without going through RSSI-distance conversion. This means it is not simply formulas combination but a whole new model was developed. Several advantages were found after integration: it is able to reduce processing load, and ensure that all values do not exceed the maximum range of 16-bit signed or unsigned numbers due to antilog operation in path loss model. The results also show that this method is able to reduce estimation error while inaccurate environmental parameters are used for RSSI-distance conversion.

The amount of heat loss of a refrigerator through the gasket is nearly 30% of total refrigerator heat loss. In this paper, quantitative evaluation for the effects of various effort to reduce heat losses through the gasket. The first trial is to extend the inner gasket to prevent the heat loss flowing from the inner of refrigerator. The effects of thermal conductivity changes of gasket and magnet are investigated by the numerical heat transfer analysis. The position change of hot line is also examined in the present research. From the present result of the numerical simulation of heat transfer, we are able to reduce the heat loss about 20~40% by using inner gasket extension. The reducing of thermal conductivity of gasket is considerable in the heat loss reduction. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity change of magnet has no apparent effect in heat loss reduction. The position change of hot line has considerable positive effect in the reduction of heat loss near gasket region.

The development of energy saving system with pressure regulator has recently been received interests. Since the internal geometry in the pressure regulator is small and complex, the frictional loss in it is critical. In this study, the pressure loss with tip size, tip position, and mass flow was investigated using numerical approaches(CFD). The aimed reduction in pressure were achieved as the ratio of t/T was more than 0.8. In addition, there was no effect of the tip position.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether labial tooth inclination and alveolar bone loss affect the moment per unit of force ($M_t/F$) in controlled tipping and consequent stresses on the periodontal ligament (PDL). Methods: Three-dimensional models (n = 20) of maxillary central incisors were created with different labial inclinations ($5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, and $20^{\circ}$) and different amounts of alveolar bone loss (0, 2, 4, and 6 mm). The $M_t/F$ necessary for controlled tipping ($M_t/F_{cont}$) and the principal stresses on the PDL were calculated for each model separately in a finite element analysis. Results: As labial inclination increased, $M_t/F_{cont}$ and the length of the moment arm decreased. In contrast, increased alveolar bone loss caused increases in $M_t/F_{cont}$ and the length of the moment arm. When $M_t/F$ was near $M_t/F_{cont}$, increases in Mt/F caused compressive stresses to move from a predominantly labial apical region to a palatal apical position, and tensile stresses in the labial area moved from a cervical position to a mid-root position. Although controlled tipping was applied to the incisors, increases in alveolar bone loss and labial tooth inclination caused increases in maximum compressive and tensile stresses at the root apices. Conclusions: Increases in alveolar bone loss and labial tooth inclination caused increases in stresses that might cause root resorption at the root apex, despite the application of controlled tipping to the incisors.

To achieve the required services in the next-generation cellular telephone systems, the size of the cell become smaller and/or is of mixed macrocells and microcells. For more efficient system control, We make use of the mobile position and velocity information, provided that the mobility information is relatively accurate. In this paper, we propose an improved version of path-loss measurement algorithm introduced in literature[11]. The microcellular structure with severe multipath fading, reflection and refraction make mobile position and velocity estimation very difficult. In the proposed method, the pre-recorded path-loss informations, called the discrete position data base, are searched to estimate the position. Velocity estimation is obtained as a difference of the position values with respect to the time difference. Moving average filter is applied to smooth the estimated velocity and to reduce the error in the estimates. We also propose a method to simplify system implementation by reducing search area for discrete area database.

This paper uses the Apollonius Circle technique to estimate the position of a target that generates a specific signal by using a drone, which is rapidly becoming a rapidly expanding industry. The existing direction finding method is performed through the vehicle on the ground or installed the antenna at a high position to detect the position of the target. However, the conventional direction finding method is difficult to configure the reception environment of the LOS signal, It is difficult. However, the direction finding using the drone is easy to construct and measure the LOS signal receiving environment using the drone flying at high altitude. In this study, we use the 3D 800MHz Path-Loss Model to reconstruct the signal by using the measurement data of the ground direction finding, reconstruct the signal by using the 3-D 800MHz Path-Loss Model, and use the Apollonius Circle method to estimate the position of the target. A simulation was performed to estimate the position of the target. Simulation was performed to determine the target position estimation performance by configuring the ground direction finding and the dron direction finding.

Purpose: Implant wall thickness and the height of the implant-abutment interface are known as factors that affect the distribution of stress on the marginal bone around the implant. The goal of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of supracrestal implant placement and implant wall thickness on maintenance of the marginal bone level. Methods: In this retrospective study, 101 patients with a single implant were divided into the following 4 groups according to the thickness of the implant wall and the initial implant placement level immediately after surgery: 0.75 mm wall thickness, epicrestal position; 0.95 mm wall thickness, epicrestal position; 0.75 mm wall thickness, supracrestal position; 0.95 mm wall thickness, supracrestal position. The marginal bone level change was assessed 1 day after implant placement, immediately after functional loading, and 1 to 5 years after prosthesis delivery. To compare the marginal bone level change, repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to evaluate the statistical significance of differences within groups and between groups over time. Pearson correlation coefficients were also calculated to analyze the correlation between implant placement level and bone loss. Results: Statistically significant differences in bone loss among the 4 groups (P<0.01) and within each group over time (P<0.01) were observed. There was no significant difference between the groups with a wall thickness of 0.75 mm and 0.95 mm. In a multiple comparison, the groups with a supracrestal placement level showed greater bone loss than the epicrestal placement groups. In addition, a significant correlation between implant placement level and marginal bone loss was observed. Conclusions: The degree of bone resorption was significantly higher for implants with a supracrestal placement compared to those with an epicrestal placement.
