With the prevalence of multimedia applications and the potential commercial usage of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) in group communications, Quality of Service (QoS) support became a key requirement. Recently, some researchers studied QoS multicast issues in MANETs. Most of the existing QoS multicast routing protocols are designed with flat topology and small networks in mind. In this paper, we investigate the scalability problem of these routing protocols. In particular, a Position-Based QoS Multicast Routing Protocol (PBQMRP) has been developed. PBQMRP builds a source multicast tree guided by the geographic information of the mobile nodes, which helps in achieving more efficient multicast delivery. This protocol depends on the location information of the multicast members which is obtained using a location service algorithm. A virtual backbone structure has been proposed to perform this location service with minimum overhead and this structure is utilized to provide efficient packet transmissions in a dynamic mobile Ad hoc network environment. The performance of PBQMRP is evaluated by performing both quantitative analysis and extensive simulations. The results show that the used virtual clustering is very useful in improving scalability and outperforms other clustering schemes. Compared to On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP), PBQMRP achieves competing packet delivery ratio and significantly lower control overhead.

This report investigates the stress distribution according to the location and shape change of the circular hole for the lightweight design of the cross beam of a railway passenger car and studies the lightweight design. To design a lightweight cross beam with a circular hole, we selected the non-circular crossbeam as a basic model, examined the stress distribution and displacement by position and determined the location, shape, size and quantity of the hole for light weight. We analyzed the effects of the position and shape of the hole on the maximum equivalent stress and displacement. The influencing factors were set as the design parameters, and the stress value was examined according to the variation of each variable. By considering the stress value according to the change of each variable and selecting the design parameter with the narrowest scattering value of the stress at each position of the hollow cross beam with various hole positions and shapes, we studied a cross beam with a circle hole under identical load condition to have an equal stress distribution to that of a non-circular cross beam.

신호원으로부터 발생하는 전파를 이격된 다중 센서에서 수신하여 신호원의 위치를 추정하는 시스템에서는 신호원의 위치와 센서들의 위치에 따라 위치탐지 정확도가 저하되는 현상이 나타난다. 이러한 현상을 기하학적 정밀도 저하(GDOP) 효과라 하며, 이러한 효과를 최소화하여 위치탐지 정확도 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법에 대해 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이격 배치된 센서들의 방위 정보를 이용하여 GDOP 효과의 발생 가능성을 추정하고, 위치 추정에서 오차 요인이 되는 센서를 제거하여 GDOP 효과로 인한 성능 저하를 최소화하는 방법에 관한 연구 결과를 서술하겠다.

위치추정 서비스는 사물이나 사람의 위치를 추정하여 표현하는 것으로, 본 논문에서는 Zigbee를 지원하는 RF칩인 CC2420칩셋을 통한 네트워크 환경을 실외에 구축하고, 이동노드를 이용하여 GPS에서 얻어진 이동노드에 대 한 위치정보를 수신한다. 이동노드의 위치정보는 구축된 네트워크 환경에서 싱크노드에 전달함으로서 실시간으로 위치를 추정할수 있게 되며 실외환경에서 위치추정 오차는 3m 내에서 나타났으며 이는 육안으로 쉽게 판별가능한 범위이고 Google Maps을 이용하여 위치를 표현해 내었다.

This paper describes a mirror control system that can adjust the location of side and room mirror of the vehicle automatically using 3D coordinates to monitor the location of driver's eyes. Through analysis of the image inputted by two B/W CCD camera and infrared lamps installed on top of the driver's dashboard, we can estimate the values of 3D coordinate of the driver's eyes. Using these values, this system can determine the absolute position of each mirror and activate each actuator to the appropriate position. The stereo vision system can detect the driver's eyes whether it is day or night by virtue of infrared Lamps. We have tested this system using 10 drivers who drive a car currently, and most of the drivers were satisfied with the convenience of this system.

The sound quality of the car audio system is affected by the serveral factors such as the dimensions of the room, the boundary condition of the wall, the location of the speakers, etc. Among these factors, the location of the car speakers has been focused to find the best location of the car speakers assuming that the flat response is better. To verify the suggestion, the subjective test is adopted using 10 people. The developed method is utilizd to evaluate the function of the audio system with fixed speaker position.

This article describes the methods of a decision of the location which user points to move by an optical device like a laser pointer and a moving to that location. Using a conic mirror and CCD camera sensor, a robot observes a spot of user wanted point among an initiative, computes the location and azimuth and moves to that position. This system offers the brief data to a processor with simple devices. In these reason, we can reduce the time of a calculation to process of images and find the target by user point for carrying a robot. User points a laser spot on a point to be moved so that this sensor system in the robot, detecting the laser spot point with a conic mirror, laid on the robot, showing a camera. The camera is attached on the robot upper body and fixed parallel to the ground and the conic mirror.

Achievement degree can be improved by display offering more effective process about cognitive, pattern recognition than making observers use memory, integration, and cognitive process of control. And this research is proved by several scholars' researches [4][5][7][9]. In this study, researches was conducted about cognition according to layout of object in instrument panel. To decide layout of instrument panel, Cognition value was preferentially decided about all location. And then, objects are arranged to correct position of low cognition following the inferior procedure about each location. As a result, we get conclusion that gauge location is taken in high importance order through mechanical importance degree bringing huge damage during driving forklift-truck.

This paper presents methods of robot localization using recent radio frequency identification technology. If the absolute position and orientation of a tag are given in an indoor environment where RFID tags are installed, a robot can estimate its location using the relationship of the identified tag and the robot in a relative coordinate. To derive this relationship, we propose three estimation techniques using a model of a RFID reader, the direction of identification and the detection range. In this algorithm, a suitable estimation method is selected out of the three proposed techniques depending on the situations and trajectory of robot in the detection range. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed methods can provide good performance for localization.
