Determining the position and velocity of mobiles is an important issue for efficient handoff and channel allocation in microcell structure. Our early work proposes a technique for estimating the mobile location in the microcellular architecture. This process is based on the three step position estimation which determines the mobile position by gradually reducing the area of the mobile position. Using three step method, the estimator first estimates the locating sector in the sector estimation step, then estimates the locating zone in the zone estimation step, and then finally estimates the locating block in the block estimate step. But this scheme is prone to errors when the mobile is located in the boundary of sectors or tracks. In this paper we propose the enhanced scheme to reduce the estimation error.

Ultrasonically induced bubble formation in thermoplastic matrix was investigated experimentally and theoretically. polystyrene was saturated with nitrogen under the pressure of 0.2 to 3.45 MPa in a pressure chamber, followed by pressure release and ultrasonic bubble nucleation. Zinc stearate was added to polystyrene as the nucleating agent to induce heterogeneous nucleation. Various mixture of low density polyethylene and polyethylene wax was also saturated with the gas. The foamed specimens with or without ultrasonically induced bubble nucleation was modeled by modifying the classical nucleation theory. The rate of ultrasonic nucleation was predicted for homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation at a conical cavity. This study showed that the heterogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation at a conical cavity. This study showed that the heterogeneous nucleation must be employed for ultrasonic production of bubbles in a viscous fluid and the homogeneous nucleation for ultrasonic production of bubbles in a low viscosity fluid.

The foams of a poly(lactic acid) modified by the reactive compounding were produced with the batch foaming technique using supercritical $CO_2(scCO_2)$. Experiments were performed at $105{\sim}135^{\circ}C$ and 12~24 MPa. The blowing ratio and foam structure were significantly affected by changing the temperature and pressure conditions in the foaming process. The blowing ratio first increased with increasing foaming temperature and saturation pressure, reached a maximum and then decreased with a further increase in the foaming temperature and saturation pressure. Decreasing the rate of depressurization permitted a longer period of cell growth and therefore larger microcellular structures were obtained.

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.
