무인항공기가 장시간 비행하기 위해서는 배터리보다 고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)가 적합하다. 본 연구에서는 PEMFC에 수소를 공급하는 $NaBH_4$가수분해 반응 시스템에 대해 연구하였다. $NaBH_4$가수분해 반응 시스템의 무게를 감소시키기 위해 수소수율 향상, 응축수 회수, 안정적인 수율 유지 등에 대해 실험하였다. 반응기 압력제어를 함으로써 수소 수율을 3.4% 향상시켰다. 수소를 공랭하여 PEMFC 스택에 공급하는 과정에서 발생하는 응축수를 $NaBH_4$ 저장조에 회수하였다. 이 과정에서 응축수가 $NaBH_4$분말을 용해시켜 보충됨으로써 14%의 무게 감량효과가 있었다. 2.0 L/min의 속도로 수소를 발생시킬 때 Co-P-B촉매 2.0 g을 사용해서 10시간동안 96% 수소수율로 $NaBH_4$가수분해 반응 시스템을 안정적으로 구동하였다.

With the advent of ubiquitous computing society, many advanced technologies have enabled wireless sensor networks which consist of small sensor nodes. However, the sensor nodes have limited computing resources such as small size memory, low battery life, short transmission range, and low computational capabilities. Thus, decreasing energy consumption is one of the most significant issues in wireless sensor networks. In addition, numerous applications for wireless sensor networks are recently spreading to various fields (health-care, surveillance, location tracking, unmanned monitoring, nuclear reactor control, crop harvesting control, u-city, building automation etc.). For many of them, supporting security functionalities is an indispensable feature. Especially in case wireless sensor networks should provide a sufficient variety of security functions, sensor nodes are required to have more powerful performance and more energy demanding features. In other words, simultaneously providing security features and saving energy faces a trade-off problem. This paper presents a novel energy-efficient security architecture in an IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless sensor network called the Hybrid Adaptive Security (HAS) framework in order to resolve the trade off issue between security and energy. Moreover, we present a performance analysis based on the experimental results and a real implementation model in order to verify the proposed approach.
