Hydrogen is seen as one of the important energy vectors of the next century. Hydrogen as a renewable energy source, provides the potential for a sustainable development particularly in the transportation sector. Hydrogen driven vehicles reduce both local as well as global emissions. The laboratory of transporttechnology (University of Gent) converted a GM/Crusader V-8 engine for hydrogen use. Once the engine is optimised, it will be built in a low-floor midsize hydrogen city bus for public demonstration. For a complete control of the combustion process and to increase the resistance to backfire (explosion of the air-fuel mixture in the inlet manifold), a sequential timed multipoint injection of hydrogen and an electronic management system is chosen. The results as a function of the engine parameters (ignition timing. injection timing and duration, injection pressure) we given. Special focus is given to topics related to the use of hydrogen as a fuel: ignition characteristics (importance of electrode distance), quality of the lubricating oil (crankcase gases with high contents of hydrogen), oxygen sensors (very lean operating conditions), noise reduction (configuration and length of inlet pipes). The advantages and disadvantages of a power regulation only by the air to fuel ratio (as for diesel engines) against a throttle regulation (normal gasoline or gas regulation) are examined. Finally the goals of the development of the engine are reached: power output of 90 kW, torque of 300 Nm, extremely low emission levels and backfire-safe operation.

Using the solenoid driven gas injection valve, Hydrogen fuel supply system was made. It was attached to a single cylinder research engine and intake port injection type hydrogen fueled S.I. engine was constructed. Engine performance, emission characteristics, and abnormal combustion were studied through the engine test performed with the variations of fuel-air equivalence ratio and spark timing. Compared with gasoline, hydrogen burns so fast that cylinder peak pressure and temperature are higher and NO is emitted more at full load condition. IN the case of intake port injection type engine, COVimep becomes lower due to the well-mixing of air and fuel, and engine output is lower owing to the low volumetric efficiency. As fuel-air equivalence ratio goes up, the combustion speed increases, and COVimep decreases. NO emission peaks slightly lean of stoichiometric. As spark timing advances and fuel-air equivalence ratio goes up, the cylinder peak pressure and temperature become higher, so abnormal combustions take place easily.

For large wireless sensor networks running on battery power, the time synchronization of all sensor nodes is becoming a crucial task for waking up sensor nodes with exact timing and controlling transmission and reception timing. However, as network size increases, this synchronization process tends to require long processing time consume significant power. Furthermore, a naïve synchronization scheduler may leave some nodes unsynchronized. This paper proposes a power-efficient scheduling algorithm for time synchronization utilizing the notion of density, which is defined by the number of neighboring nodes within wireless range. The proposed scheduling algorithm elects a sequence of minimal reference nodes that can complete the synchronization with the smallest possible number of hops and lowest possible power consumption. Additionally, it ensures coverage of all sensor nodes utilizing a two-pass synchronization scheduling process. We implemented the proposed synchronization algorithm in a network simulator. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can reduce the power consumption required for the periodic synchronization process by up to 40% for large sensor networks compared to a simplistic multi-hop synchronization method.

A fuel injection system using an ECU HILS as an alternate to a vehicle test for the fuel injectors was developed. The throttle position, vehicle speed, engine speed, crank position, cam position, intake air flow, and several other sensor signals that are supplied to the ECU were measured and recorded as a data file for a vehicle driven in the FTP-75 mode in a chassis dynamometer. Electric signals that are equivalent to the sensor signals from the vehicle are reconstructed from the recorded data file using data acquisition boards, microprocessors, and computers. All sensor signals are supplied to the ECU with synchronized timing using a computer program. The findings show that the cost and time of vehicle experiments can be reduced using the ECU HILS system. Moreover, the repeatability of the generation of sensor signals can enhance the accuracy of a range of experiment related to vehicle testing. An ECU scanner that scans the sensor signals that are input to the ECU through a serial port was used to assess the accuracy of the reconstructed signals. The scanning results show good agreement with the reconstructed input signals. Injectors were connected to the ECU HILS system and were driven by the system to measure the quantity of injected fuel.

Using OGCM results, we have shown that the ring-like cold baroclinic eddies associated with cyclonic circulation are shed from late summer to early fall near the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge from the Kuroshio Extension owing to baroclinic instability. On the other hand, warm baroclinic eddies are generated by the intensified western boundary current associated with the warm anomaly accumulated near the Ridge in winter, which corresponds to the basin-wide barotropic intensification of the wind-driven gyre in winter. We are successful in reproducing the behavior of those meso-scale eddies using a simple two-layer primitive equation model driven by seasonal winds associated with the positive curl. Those eddies carry barotropic seasonal signals originated in the Pacific Basin quite slowly west of the ridge; this process introduces a phase lag in the timing of the seasonal maximum transport in the Philippine Basin west of the ridge. It Is demonstrated that the existence of bottom topography, baroclinicity, and nonlinearity due to advection are three necessary elements for the generation of these eddies south of Japan.

Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is an under-recognized non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergy. The diagnosis of FPIES is based on clinical history, sequential symptoms and the timing, after excluding other possible causes. It is definitively diagnosed by an oral food challenge test. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of FPIES is frequently delayed because of non-specific symptoms and insufficient definitive diagnostic biomarkers. FPIES is not well recognized by clinicians; the affected infants are often mismanaged as having viral gastroenteritis, food poisoning, sepsis, or a surgical disease. Familiarity with the clinical features of FPIES and awareness of the indexes of suspicion for FPIES are important to diagnose FPIES. Understanding the recently defined clinical terms and types of FPIES is mandatory to suspect and correctly diagnose FPIES. The aim of this review is to provide a case-driven presentation as a guide of how to recognize the clinical features of FPIES to improve diagnosis and management of patients with FPIES.

VLSI 설계에서 셀 배치단계는 칩의 성능에 영향을 미치는 중요한 단계로서, 셀 배치문제의 주요한 목적비용으로는 배선길이, 타이밍(timing) 그리고 배선밀집도 (routing congestion)가 있다. 기존 연구에서 배선길이를 줄이기 위한 많은 기법들이 소개되었으나 배선 밀집도를 추정하고 이를 어떻게 줄일 것인가에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 많이 되어있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 셀 배치후에, 주어진 배치를 바탕으로 배선밀집도를 예측하고 배선밀집도가 높은 지역을 국부적으로 해결하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다.

캐리-세이브 가산기(CSA)는 연산식의 빠른 수행을 위해 가장 일반적으로 쓰이는 연산기중에 하나이다. 일반적인 CSA 적용의 근본적인 한계로는, 연산 회로중에 바로 덧셈 연산으로 변환되는 부분만이 적용이 가능하다는 사실이다. 이러한 제한점을 극복하기 위하여, 우리는 간단하고도, 효율적인 CSA 변환 방법을 제시한다. 이들은(1) 멀티플랙서를 포함한 최적화, (2) 회로 경계를 포함한 최적화, (3) 곱셈기를 포함한 최적화이다. 이러한 방법을 포함하여, 우리는 전체적인 회로에서 CSA를 충분히 사용할수 있는 새로운 지연시간 최적화를 목표로 하는 CSA 변환 방법을 만들어 내었다. 실험에서는 실제적인 여러 회로에 대해 제시된 방법이 효율적임을 보였다.

반도체 공정 기술의 발전으로 인한 개략 배선 지연시간의 증가는 고성능 시스템의 설계를 어렵게 하고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 배선에 파이프라인 요소를 삽입하는 방법이 있으나 시스템의 타이밍을 변화시켜 시스템의 기능성을 보장할 수 없다. LIP(Latency Insensitive Protocol)는 임의의 파이프라인 요소의 삽입에 대해 기능성을 보장하지만 처리량이 저하된다. 처리량 저하를 줄이기 위해서는 평면계획 단계에서 처리량을 고려하여 블록을 배치하여야 한다. 이러한 평면계획을 가능하게 하기 위해서 새로운 처리량 계산 방법을 제안하고 평면계획의 비용함수에 적용하였다. 실험 결과, 기존의 휴리스틱 처리량 평가 방법을 적용한 평면계획에 비해 처리량이 평균 16.97% 향상되었다.
