Storage tank filled with fluid has unique dynamic characteristics compared to general structures, due to the interaction between fluid and structure. The oscillation of the fluid surface caused by external forces is called sloshing, which occurs in moving vehicles with contained liquid masses, such as trucks, railroad cars, aircrafts, and liquid missles. In this study, the evaluation method for the reduction of sloshing, the optimized size and location of wing and diaphragm baffles are suggested based on the experimental results. The experimental device can simulate the translation motion. A rectangular tank and various baffles are fabricated to study on the sloshing characteristics. The forces measured using the load cell at tank wall and those are compared with each other through the Fourier transformation for various conditions. The study of the sloshing of the rectangular tank equipped with baffles is conducted under the same conditions with non-baffled rectangular tank experiment. From the experimental results, the sloshing reduction effect by the baffles is observed. In conclusion in case of diaphragm baffles, the optimized size ratio of the width of baffle to the water height is 0.44 and the installation location has no effect to the damping of sloshing. In case of wing baffles, the optimized size ratio of the width of baffle to the length of a rectangular tank is 0.1 and the optimized location ratio of the baffle to the water height is 0.9.

Recently, many researches related to IoT (Internet of Things) have been actively conducted. In order to improve the context aware function of smart wearable devices using the IoT, we proposed a noise reduction method for the event data of the sensor part. In thisstudy, the adoption of the low - pass filter induces the attenuation of the abnormally measured value, and the benefit was obtained from the situation recognition using the event data of the sensor. As a result, we have validated attenuation for abnormal or excessive noise using event data detected and reported by 3-axis acceleration sensors on some devices, such as smartphones and smart watches. In addition, various pattern data necessary for real - time context aware were obtained through noise pattern analysis.

In the case of nuclear medicine practitioners in medical institutions, a wide range of exposure dose to individual workers can be found, depending on the type of source, the amount of radioactivity, and the use of shielding devices in handling radioactive isotopes. In this regard, this study evaluated the organ dose on practitioners as well as the dose reduction effect of the L-block shielding device in handling the diagnostic radiation source through the simulation based on the Monte Carlo method. As a result, the distribution of organ dose was found to be higher as the position of the radiation source was closer to the handling position of a practitioner, and the effective dose distribution was different according to the ICRP tissue weight. Furthermore, the dose reduction effect according to the L-block thickness tended to decrease, which showed the exponential distribution, as the shielding thickness increased. The dose reduction effect according to each radiation source showed a low shielding effect in proportion to the emitted gamma ray energy level.

Peak power reduction is becoming increasingly important not only for grid operators but also for residential users. The scheduling of electric loads tries to reduce the power peak by splitting the power-on period of an electric device into multiple smaller ones and by interleaving the on-periods of every device in a holistic way. This paper analyzes the performance of EDF, LSF, TCBM, and lazy scheduling algorithms and proposes the enhancement schemes. For analysis, we have implemented the scheduling policies in a simulation environment for distributed control systems. Through extensive experiments using real power traces, we discuss their performance characteristics in terms of power deviation, switch count, and temperature violation ratio. To prevent excessive switching, we propose to employ the concept of limited preemptibility and evaluate its effect on performance. It is found that the best performance is achieved when the scheduler capacity is dynamically adjusted to the actual power demand. The experiment results show that, by load scheduling, the probability of having a power deviation greater than 150W is reduced from 21.5% down to 3.2%.

Purpose: An objective analysis and observations were to be done on hemiplegia patients that are wearing a walking support device, Stroke shoes. Their improvements in walking pace, the reduction of distance between the two knee joint, the increase of curve angle of the knee joint and their steps and the reduction of ankle joint upon swing phase were analyzed using a 20 walking analyzer. Methods: An examination was carried out to see the patients' communication skill and independent walking and then let them walk with the Stroke shoes on to get results before and after wearing it. Simi Reality Motion Systems GmbH (Germany, 2007) was used to analyze the results regarding knee joint and ankle joint angle changes of sagitta plane and coronal plane, stepping distances, distances between the knees and walking pace. Results: 1. The articulation angle of ankle joint during swing phase decreased and knee joint has shown a statistically significant increase in such value(p<0.05). 2. Only knee joint showed a significant increase in articulation angle during heel strike(p<0.05). 3. Knee joint showed a significant increase in articulation angle during toe off(p<0.05). 4. The distance between the two knees as well as their foot steps significantly decreased compared with when Stroke shoes were not worn(p<0.05). 5. Stroke shoes with FES have shown positive effects on the patients in improving their walking styles overall. (p<0.05). Conclusion: There was an improvement in rotation walking pattern by a reduction in the distance between the knees after wearing Stroke shoes with FES. Plantar flexion reduced that occurred in ankle joint during walking and flexion angle increased in knee joint, both of which improved foot drop which was a major problem in hemiplegia patients. Also it is believed that the device will have some positive influences on knee joint stiffening paralysis to aid in improving inefficient walking phases.

A selective catalyst reduction system (SCR) with an integrated bypass unit is proposed. Through simulations of the SCR, variations in flow to the catalyst due to the particular shape of the bypass shutting device in the SCR are also studied. The commercial software Ansys Fluent is used to develop the simulations. For the simulations, the catalyst of the SCR is modeled using the porous media method to reduce the calculation time and number of meshes, which is necessary because of the detailed modeling of the catalyst. Simulations are performed based on changes to the entrance angle to the catalyst and the size of the bypass shutting device. Finally, simulation results are used to compare and analyze the average velocity and uniformity of the flow to the catalyst.

This paper describes a high-performance hardware implementation of modular multiplication used as a core operation in elliptic curve cryptography. A 521-bit high-performance modular multiplier for NIST P-521 curve was designed by adopting 3-way Toom-Cook integer multiplication and fast reduction algorithm. Considering the property of the 3-way Toom-Cook algorithm in which the result of integer multiplication is multiplied by 1/3, modular multiplication was implemented on the Toom-Cook domain where the operands were multiplied by 3. The modular multiplier was implemented in the xczu7ev FPGA device to verify its hardware operation, and hardware resources of 69,958 LUTs, 4,991 flip-flops, and 101 DSP blocks were used. The maximum operating frequency on the Zynq7 FPGA device was 50 MHz, and it was estimated that about 4.16 million modular multiplications per second could be achieved.

Caravans are easily affected by external physical factors and often cause dangerous situations for passengers. Therefore, in order to secure the stability of the passenger, there is a need to develop a sway reduction device capable of preventing the sway phenomenon in advance. This paper aims to minimize the hitch angle between the tow vehicle and the caravan. Specifically, the initial instability of the caravan is detected through an IMU sensor mounted on each of the tow vehicle and the caravan, and a control value is calculated to reduce errors from the Hitch angle and Hitch yaw rate using a PID controller. Different braking torques are generated, distributed, and controlled on the left and right brakes of the caravan according to the calculated control value. It could be verified through the driving experiment that the hitch angle was decreased compared to the case where the performance of the sway reduction device was not controlled, and the transverse stability improvement rate was improved by 94.49% compared to before control.

The dynamic opportunistic device-to-device (DO-D2D) network will frequently emerge in the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication due to high-density and fast-moving mobile devices. In order to improve the Quality of Experience (QoE) of users with different computing capacity devices in the DO-D2D network, in this paper, we focus on the study of how to reduce the packets retransmission delay and satisfy heterogeneous devices. To select as many devices as possible to transmit simultaneously without interference, the concurrent transmitters-selecting algorithm is firstly put forward. It jointly considers the number of packets successfully received by each device and the device's connectivity. Then, to satisfy different devices' demands while primarily ensuring the base-layer packets successfully received by all the devices, the layer-cooperation instantly decodable network coding is presented, which is used to select transmission packets combination for each transmitter. Simulation results illustrate that there is an appreciable retransmission delay gain especially in the poor channel quality network compared to the traditional base-station (BS) retransmission algorithm. In addition, our proposed algorithms perform well to satisfy the different demands of users with heterogeneous devices.
