In order to enhance the system capacity of multi rate IEEE 802.11 WLAN, we propose the transmission rate select method using the control frame in this paper. The transmission rate is selected dynamically based on the RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator) of received control frame. And we also propose the Enhanced NAV Update method for Fragmented MPDU burst transmission in multirate WLAN environment. This method can improve the system capacity by support the burst transmission of fragmented MPDU.

The feasibility of using elastic dampers to mitigate earthquake-induced structural response is studied in this paper. The properties of elastic dampers are briefly described. A procedure for evaulating the elastic damping effect when added to a structure is proposed in which the damping effect of elastic dampers is incorporated into modal damping ratios through an energy approach. Computer simulation of the damped response of a multi-storey steel frame structure shows significant reduction in floor displacement levels.

In this paper, we propose feature extraction and tracking algorithm using multi resolution in 2-dimensional wavelet domain. Feature extraction selects feature points using 2-level wavelet transform in interested region. Feature tracking estimates displacement between current frame and next frame based on feature point which is selected feature extraction algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm confirmed a better performance than the existing other algorithms.

In this paper, we propose an optimal coverage extension scheme in the OFDMA based mobile multi-hop relay system. First, we propose an optimal frequency and time assignment scheme for maximizing system throughput and analyze the frame efficiency of schemes. Then, under the given BS capacity, we find the maximum number of relay hops that can be used to estimate the maximum coverage area of a BS in a multi-hop relay system. Analytical results show that the proposed scheme is efficient in coverage extension and throughput maximization in OFDMA based multi-hop relay system. Our work may be a rough guideline to control the parameters for multi-hop relay system optimization.

Rumination in cattle is closely related to their health, which makes the automatic monitoring of rumination an important part of smart pasture operations. However, manual monitoring of cattle rumination is laborious and wearable sensors are often harmful to animals. Thus, we propose a computer vision-based method to automatically identify multi-object cattle rumination, and to calculate the rumination time and number of chews for each cow. The heads of the cattle in the video were initially tracked with a multi-object tracking algorithm, which combined the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm with the kernelized correlation filter (KCF). Images of the head of each cow were saved at a fixed size, and numbered. Then, a rumination recognition algorithm was constructed with parameters obtained using the frame difference method, and rumination time and number of chews were calculated. The rumination recognition algorithm was used to analyze the head image of each cow to automatically detect multi-object cattle rumination. To verify the feasibility of this method, the algorithm was tested on multi-object cattle rumination videos, and the results were compared with the results produced by human observation. The experimental results showed that the average error in rumination time was 5.902% and the average error in the number of chews was 8.126%. The rumination identification and calculation of rumination information only need to be performed by computers automatically with no manual intervention. It could provide a new contactless rumination identification method for multi-cattle, which provided technical support for smart pasture.

The reinforced-concrete multi-story shear-wall structure, which can free a building from beams and columns to allow the planning of a vast room, has increasingly been used in Japan as a high-rise reinforced-concrete structure. Since this structural system concentrates the seismic force onto multi-story shear walls inside, the bending deformation of the walls may cause excessive deformation on the upper floors during an earthquake. However, it is possible to control the bending deformation to within a certain level by setting high-strength and rigid beams (outriggers) at the top of the multi-story shear walls; these outriggers restrain the bending behavior of the walls. Moreover, it is possible to achieve high energy dissipation by placing vibration control devices on the outriggers and thus restrain the bending behavior. This paper outlines the earthquake response analysis of a high-rise residential tower to demonstrate the effectiveness of the outrigger frame incorporating vibration control devices.

This paper proposing the use of the Instantaneous reactive power method as a harmonic detection method for a single phase active filter system. This method is to detect harmonic components through d-q frame approach. The conventional use of d-q frame approach for a 3-phase system Is extended to the single phase system. The proposed system uses a multi-level inverter for harmonic compensation and the inverter is connected to the input side without using transformers. The proposed algorithm is verified by simulation and experiment.

In this paper, a new multi-view 3D video communication system for real-time Reality teleconferencing application is proposed by usin gthe IEEE 1394 digital cameras, Intel Xeon server computer system and Microsoft's DirectShow programming library and its performance is analyzed in terms of image-grabbing frame rate and number of views. The captured two-view image data is compressed by extraction of disparity data between them and transmitted to another client system through the communication network, in which multi-view could be synthesized with this received 2-view data using the intermediate view reconstruction technique and displayed on the multi-view 3D display system. From some experimental results, it is found that the proposed system can display 16-view 3D images with a gray of 8bits and a frame rate of 15fps.

In beacon-enabled mode, beacon collision is a significant problem for the scalability of cluster-tree wireless sensor networks. In this paper, multi-channel time division scheduling (MCTS) is proposed to prevent beacon collisions and provide scalability. A coordinator broadcasts a beacon frame, including information on allocated channels and time-slots, and a new node determines its own channel and time-slot. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by comparing the proposed approach with a typical ZigBee. MCTS prevents beacon collisions in cluster-tree wireless sensor networks. It enables large-scale wireless sensor networks based on a cluster tree to be scalable and effectively constructed.

The mega frame system is becoming popular for the design and construction of skyscrapers because this system exhibits structural efficiency by allowing high rigidity of the structure while minimizing the amount of structural materials to be used. Since the mega frame system is usually adopted for super high-rise buildings, the comfort of occupants may be main concerns in the practical application of this system. For the enhancement of the serviceability of mega frame structures, a semi-active tuned mass damper (STMD) is developed in this study. To this end, a Magnetorheological (MR) damper is employed replacing passive damper as a semi-active damper to improve the control effect of a conventional TMD. Since a conventional finite element model of mega frame structures has significant numbers of DOFs, numerical simulation for investigation of control performances of a STMD is impossible by using the full-order model. Therefore, a reduced-order system using minimal DOFs, which can accurately represent the dynamic behavior of a mega frame structure, is proposed in this study through the matrix condensation technique To improve the efficiency of the matrix condensation technique, multi-level matrix condensation technique is proposed using the structural characteristics of mega frame structures. The efficiency and accuracy of the reduced-order control proposed in this study and the control performance of a STMD were verified using example structures.
