Cross-drilling and slotting on the frictional surface of a brake rotor are methods used for improving the performance of the brake system. These shapes have particular advantages, such as the shaving effect of a slotted shape, which maintains a clean pad-to-rotor contact surface, and the venting effect of a drilled shape, which provides passageways for the gas to escape. In order to understand the effect of the machined pattern on the brake performance aspect, an experimental method is adopted along with the dynamometer test. The cross-drilled rotor, slotted rotor, and mixed pattern rotor with cross-drilling and slotting machining are prepared and tested in terms of friction coefficient, temperature, braking torque, and noise.

The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the noise propagating characteristics, the noise reduction mechanism and the performance of a slotted tube attached at the exit plane of a circular convergent nozzle. The experiment is performed through the systematic change of the jet pressure ratio and the slot length under the condition of two kinds of open area ratios, 25% and 51%. The open area ratio calculated by the tube length equivalent for the slot length is defined as the ratio of the total slot area to the surface area of a slotted tube. The experimental results for the near and far field sound, the visualization of jet structures and the static pressure distributions in the jet passing through a slotted tube are presented and explained in comparison with those for a simple tube. The propagating characteristics of supersonic jet noises from the slotted tube is closely connected with the slot length rather than the open area ratio, and its propagating pattern is similar to the simple tube. It is shown that the slotted tube has a good performance to suppress the shock-associated noise as well as the turbulent mixing noise in the range of a limited jet pressure and slot dimension. The considerable suppression of the shock‘associated noise is mainly due to the pressure relief caused by the high-speed jets passing through the slots on the tube. Both the strength of shock waves and the interval between them in a jet plume are decreased by the pressure relief. Moreover, the pressure relief is divided into the gradual and the sudden relief depending upon the open area ratio of the slotted tube. Consequently, the shock waves in a jet plume are also changed by the type of pressure relief. The gradual pressure relief caused by the slotted tube with the open area ratio 25% generates the weak oblique shock waves. On the contrary, the weak normal shock waves appear due to the sudden pressure relief caused by the slotted tube with the open area ratio 51%.

A slotted rectangular nameplate antenna design with a patch bearing the name of the first author is presented. A $6.8mm{\times}26mm{\times}1.6mm$ substrate of FR-4 epoxy material having a relative permittivity of 4.4 and a dielectric loss tangent of 0.02 is used. Additionally, the feeding technique used is a coaxial mechanism. The standard antenna design parameters, including the reflection coefficient, bandwidth, radiation pattern, gain, directivity, and voltage standing wave radio (VSWR) for the proposed prototype are analyzed using a high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) v-15, and are compared to the measured results. The designed structure may be considered for different satellite- and radio-determination applications at the respective resonant frequencies.

Experimental and simulation results are presented on the Aperture-Coupled microstrip patch antennal with U-shaped slot. Experiment and simulation results include impedance bandwidth, copolar and crosspolar-pattern characteristics and gain measurements. Simulation results show the advantages of U-slotted patch antenna comparing with the normal patch antenna. More than 35% impedance bandwidth is obtained with reasonably restricted cross-polar radiation pattern. The U-slotted radiation element fed by aperture-coupling method can be more easily extended to array structure, compared with that fed by coaxial cable.

To evaluate the aerodynamic efficiency of TR-S2 configuration designed by SUDC, wind tunnel tests of $40\%$ scaled model were done in KARI LSWT. The aerodynamic characteristics of plain and Semi-Slotted Flaperon were compared, and vortex generators were installed to improve flow pattern along the wing surface. Effects of the control surface such as elevator, rudder, aileron, and incidence angle of horizontal tail are measured for various testing conditions. Test results showed that Semi-Slotted Flaperon produced more favorable lift, lift/drag, and stall margins and application of vortex generator would be best choice to enhance wing performance. Longitudinal, lateral and directional characteristics of TR-S2 were found to be stable for the pitch and yaw motions.

In cognitive radios, exponentially distributed idle period(EIP) is considered in this paper. In the EIP case, durations of idle periods are be limited and varied by primary traffic arrivals. Accordingly, we first analyze the idle period utilization which can be achieved by the slotted ALOHA in cognitive radio communications. The idle period utilization is a newly defined performance metric to measure the transmission performance of the secondary network as effective time durations utilized for successful secondary transmissions in an idle period. Then, the idle period utilization is maximized through controlling the data transmission time. All technical processes are mathematically analyzed and expressed as closed form solutions.

This paper describes the characteristics of a one dimensional narrow-wall slotted waveguide array with a single-layer linear-to-circular polarization converter consisting of a dipole array. An external boundary value Problem of one slot and three dipoles, which approximates the mutual coupling between the dipole array and an edge slot extending over three faces of a rectangular waveguide, is formulated and analyzed by the method of moments; design of polarization conversion is conducted for this model as a unit element. If every unit element has perfect circular polarization, grating lobes appear in the array pattern due to the alternating slot angle: these are suppressed in this paper by changing the dipole angle and degrading the axial ratio of the unit element. The validity of the design is confirmed by the measurements. The dipole array has negligible effects upon slot impedance; the polarization conversion for existing narrow-wall slotted arrays is realized by add-on dipole array.

WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) is a network which is to consistently monitor body signals with implanted or attached sensor nodes. Especially, nodes that are used in medical services have to operate with low power consumption since they are hard to replace, and have to guarantee high data rate and low transmission delay for consistent signal monitor. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that aims to reduce transmission delay and power consumption, and guarantees stable throughput, by assuming the number of active nodes, and followed by dynamically adjusting the random access period and transmission possibilities in a superframe. The assumed number of active nodes may be incorrect since it only relies on the channel status of a previous superframe. Therefore, we assume the number of active nodes and define a pattern. And revise the number of the active nodes with the defined pattern. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we have implemented a WBAN environment with the MATLAB. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides better throughput, low power consumption, and low transmission delay when compared to the slotted ALOHA of the IEEE 802.15.6.

In this paper, it is designed a microstrip U-slotted patch antenna with double resonances to enhance the bandwidth. In the design of an U-slotted patch antenna, there are considered the input impedance, the width of patch, the total length of the slot, the height of foam, the position of the probe and the radius of feed pin. The broadband behavior of antenna can be obtained by adjusting the length and width of the slot. The radiation from the antenna is linear polarized with the E-paine parallel to the vertical slots and the H plane parallel to horizontal slot. The radiation pattern, impedance locus, and VSWR of the antenna are calculated using "ENSEMBLE" software, and compared with the experimental results. Experimental results show that the bandwidth for VSWR $\le$ 2:1 is about 28.6%, a directivity 14.18dBi at 6.040GHz. 6.040GHz.
