비 구조적인 주면 환경에서 평면 팔레트(planar pallet)를 포크리프트(forklift)로 적재하거나 하역하기 위한 물류용 재료운송 로보트 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 음향(acoustic)센서와 시각(visual) 센싱데이타를 사용하여 팔레트에 지정된 2개의 스롯(slot)의 위치를 결정하고 포크리프트를 팔레트의 스롯에 인게즈(engage) 한다. 본 연구에서는 재료운송 시스템의 복잡성을 줄이기 위해서 폴라로이드(Poraloid) 음향센서의 3차원 거리 데이터와 CCD 카메라에서 얻은 2차원 시각 네이타를 통합하는 방법을 개발한다. 2개의 다른 소스로부터 얻은 데이타는 서로의 미비점을 보안하며 재료운송 로보트 시스템을제어하기 위한 효율적인 알고리즘을 제공한다. 카메라는 far-away vision 개념에 의한 음향센서의 선형 스캔닝(scanning) 대역을 우선 결정한다. 선형 스캔닝에 의하여 얻어지는 거리 데이타(range Map)는 least mean square방법을 사용하여 팔레트의 위치와 자세(position and orientation)를 결정한다(near vision). 팔레트에 대한 위치와 자세가 결정되면 다시 시각센서를 이용하여(close vision) 에지(edge)탐지와 Hough transfrom 기술을 적용하여 팔레트에 대한 포크리프트의 인게이지먼트 위치를 구한다. 개발된 시스템은 하드웨어와 소프트웨어로 구현하고 평가하며 실험적인 결과도 제시한다.

EPCglobal Class-1 Gen-2 protocol has been proposed for UHF-band RFID systems. In Gen-2 standard, Q-algorithm was proposed to select a frame size for the next query round without estimating the number of tags. Therefore, the Q-algorithm has advantage that the reader's algorithm is simpler than other algorithms. However, it is impossible to allocate the optimized frame size. Also, the original Q-algorithm did not define an optimized parameter C for adjusting the frame size. In this paper, we propose an adaptive Q-algorithm with the different parameter $C_c$ and $C_i$ in accordance with the status of reply slot. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive Q-algorithm outperforms the original Gen-2 Q-algorithm.

Q-algorithm is proposed at EPC global Class-1 Generation-2 RFID systems to determine the frame size of next query round. In Q-algorithm, the reader calculates the frame size without estimating the number of tags. But, it uses only the slot conditions: empty, success, or collision. Therefore, it wastes less computational cost and is simpler than other algorithms. However, the constant parameter C value, which is used for calculating the next frame size, is not optimized. In this paper, we propose the optimized C values of Q-algorithm according to the number of tags within the identification range of reader through a lot of computer simulations.

In Gen-2 Q-algorithm, the values of weight C, which is the parameter for incrementing or decrementing the slot-count size, are not defined in the standard. In this case, if the reader selects an inappropriate weight, there are a lot of empty or collided slots. As a result, the performance will be degraded because the frame size does not converge to the optimal point quickly during the query round. In this paper, we analyze how the performances of Gen-2 Q-algorithm will be affected by the weight value.

본 논문에서는 개구 결합 방식의 마이크로스트립 안테나에 U 슬롯과 turning stub를 동시에 사용하여 넓은 대역폭을 갖는 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 상대 유전율이 2.2이고 두께가 61mil인 duroid 5880기판을 사용하여 ITS(Intelligent Transport System)대역인 5.77GHz에서 동작하는 안테나를 설계하였고, VSWR$\leq$2를 기준으로 하여 약 12.4%의 대역폭을 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 약 7GHz에서 동작하는 안테나에서는 상대 유전율이 2.2이고 두께가 31mil인 5880기판과 1.6mm인 form을 사용하여 VSWR$\leq$1.5를 기준으로 약 11.7%의 대역폭을 얻을 수 있었다. 각각의 경우 U 슬롯만을 사용한 경우와 비교할 때 5.77 GHz에서는 5.7% 7GHz대역에서는 약 4%의 대역폭 개선 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

An 1/21.6 scaled experimental facility was prepared utilizing the results of a scaling analysis to simulate the APRI400 reactor and insulation system. The behaviors of the boiling-induced two-phase natural circulation flow in the insulation gap were observed, and the liquid mass flow rates driven by natural circulation loop were measured by varying the wall heat flux, upper exit slot area and configuration. And non-heating experiments have also been performed and discussed to certify the hydraulic similarity of the heating experiments by injecting air equivalent to the steam generated in the heating experimental condition.

The thrust vector control using a fluidic counterflow concept is achieved by applying a vacuum to a slot adjacent to a primary jet which is shrouded by a suction collar. The vacuum produces a secondary reverse flowing stream near the primary. The shear layers between the two counterflowing streams mix and entrain mass from the surrounding fluid. The presence of the collar inhibits mass entrainment and the flow m the collar accelerates causing a drop in pressure on the collar. For the vacuum asymmetrically applied to one side of the nozzle, the jet will vector toward the low-pressure region. The present study is performed to investigate the effectiveness of thrust vector control using the fluidic counterflow concept. A computational work is carried out using the two-dimensional, compressible Navier-Stokes equations, with several kinds of turbulence models. The computational results are compared with the previous experimental ones. It is found that the present fluidic counterflow concept is a viable method to vector the thrust of a propulsion system.

In this paper, the improved initial cell searching algorithm is proposed for 3GPP W-CDMA system. The key objective of the proposed algorithm is to utilize the reliability of the first stage of cell searching algorithm in order to accomplish the second stage. So the proposed algorithm makes the mobile station transfers to the second stage from the first stage, just after the slot synchronization is declared successively at the same time-offset. In order to compare the proposed algorithm with the conventional one, the simulations are accomplished for cell search algorithm for 3GPP W-CDMA systems in the multipath Rayleigh fading channel. Some parameters are also presented for the better performance in the initial cell searching algorithm.

In this paper, a medium access control protocol is proposed for integrated voice and data services in wireless local networks. Uplink channels for the proposed protocol are composed of time slots with multiple spreading codes per slot based on slotted code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. The proposed protocol uses spreading code sensing and reservation schemes. This protocol gives higher access priority to delay-sensitive voice traffic than to data traffic. The voice terminal reserves an available spreading code to transmit multiple voice packets during a talkspurt. On the other hand, the data terminal transmits a packet without making a reservation over one of the available spreading codes that are not used by voice terminals. In this protocol, voice packets do not come into collision with data packets. The numerical results show that this protocol can increase the system capacity for voice service by applying the reservation scheme. The performance for data traffic will decrease in the case of high voice traffic load because of its low access priority. But it shows that the data traffic performance can be increased in proportion to the number of spreading codes.

A new test method has been developed for a quantitative evaluation of macro-stickies in recycled pulps. The method uses a fine slot screen to separate a sticky particles form fiber in the pulp samples. The obtained sticky particles were spread on filter paper and covered with silicon carbide powder in order to make the stickies area with sufficient contrast between stickies and background. The stickies are then counted by a scanner-based image analysis system. The validity of this evaluation method of stickies of KOCC, ONP and white ledger wastepaper recycling plants respectively. It is shown that this method can be applied for a quantitative determination of stickies content in various recycled pulp samples. With this testing method, reproducible and reliable data were obtained for the actual mill pulp samples.
