Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error is the most common and also a major source of errors in wireless location system. A novel weighting factor (NWF) method is presented in this paper, based on the RSS(Received Signal Strength) measurements, path loss model and Circular Disk of Scatterers Model (CDSM). The proposed positioning method effectively weighted the TOA distance measurements for each Base Station (BS). Simulation results show that the proposed method efficiently weighted the distance measurements and achieve higher localization accuracy than that of Linear Line of Position (LLOP) and Believable Factor Algorithm (BFA).

Insertion loss is used as the character to express the efficiency of EMI filter. In this paper, we studied the better method that can measure the insertion loss of EMI filter exactly than the original method. For the achievement of this, the method measuring both common mode(CM) and differential mode(DM) insertion loss with arbitrary input/output impedance is accomplished using a 4-ports S-parameters system for consideration of unbalanced factor. Using this method, when input/output used in specific system is known, CM/DM insertion loss of EMI filter inserted in the system can be calculated. Finally, we applied 4-ports modeling method to 'X/Y capacitor part' and suggested the algorithm for selecting suitable the value of Y-capacitor using mixed mode S-parameters and mixed mode chain S-parameters.

This paper provides a new approach for the load-focused transmission marginal loss factors(MLF). It can be widely applied to power system operations and pricing mechanism in a competitive electricity market. The load-focused MLF is the ratio of required additional generation at a reference bus to the demand increments at a arbitrary bus. The new approach to determine the load-focused MLF was developed under some practically endurable assumptions. Although the suggested method is very similar to the conventional penaty factors in its concept, the method is more efficient than the existing heuristic method for the load-focused MLF. To show its effectiveness and efficiency, numerical test have been performed in IEEE 14-bus system.

The main purpose of this research is to find suitable treatment methods of wastewater effluent for artificial recharge. For this purpose, we search the effluent quality of wastewater treatment plant and possibility of additional filtration process. Particles ranged 2 ~ 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 15~20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in "T" WWTP(Waste Water Treatment Plant) effluent were relatively dominant. In dual-media filtration system operation, head-loss development of column 1 was about two times faster than column 2, and head-loss development within 5 cm from surface was very important factor in operation, Conclusively, for the stable filtration and running time of 1.5~2 day, influent turbidity must keep 5 NTU or below, and filtration system must operated at 280 m/day or below. After filtration of WWTP effluent, water quality reached satisfactory level. This water has potential of agricultural reusing, flushing water in building, recharging water to river or stream at dry season and artificial recharge of ground water.und water.

Two-Stage Direct Power Converter(TSDPC) has many merits that possible bidirectional power flow, input power factor own control and system using imaginary DC-link. But TSDPC has some demerits that need many switching devices and switching loss. This paper suggest optimal TSDPC control scheme for improvement for switching loss part by changing the space vector approval times. This paper is verified that 9% improvement in switching efficiency and proposed system has lower harmonic of input currents and output voltage.

Development trend of modern HSDI diesel engine is now focusing on low fuel consumption and emission because of strong interest in global environmental protection. Two big branches of criteria for modern diesel engine development are down sizing and down speeding. Down sizing keeps engine operation condition to the direction of higher load and thus pursuing for better thermal efficiency. But this may cause degraded vehicle dynamic performance because of reduced back up torque. Down speeding keeps engine operation condition to the direction of slightly higher load and lower engine speed. Therefore reduction of back up torque can be limited within flat torque area. This study analyzed fuel economy effect of down speeding on a vehicle powered by HSDI diesel engine in aspect of engine friction work, intake and exhaust pumping work, exhaust hat loss and thermal loss of fuel leakage of fuel injection system. Contribution factor of each engine and vehicle related parameters under basic and down speeding condition were compared and work balance of down speeding during NEDC was analyzed.

This paper proposes buck-type charging method using motor inductance, 3-phase inverter and bi-directional converter without an additional charger in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The proposed system has advantages over the conventional system such as high charging efficiency, high power factor, and low total harmonic distortion. The validity of each methods are verified by theoretical analysis and simulation.

Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor codes are used as channelization codes in WCDMA. In this particular paper, we present a new OVSF codes which is generated from the Jacket Matrices for DS-CDMA systems. The simulations result shows that the purposed OVSF can efficiently reduce the peak values of the correlations than the conventional HOVSF without orthogonality loss. It will be useful to detect the multi-user system under the asynchronous system and save the power of transmission.

In ceramic systems, many components including embedded passives and TRL(transmission line) are used for composition of 3-dimensional circuit. So the exact analysis on this components, As for the TRL's, material properties including electrical conductivity of metal, loss factor and effective dielectric constant of dielectric material and geometrical factors like roughness of surface, vias, dimension of stripline structure have a large effect on the charactersistics of transmission lines. In this research, of effect of material and geometrical factors on the characteristics of stripline structure is analyzed and quantified by simulation and measurement.
