최근 무선 랜(WLAN : Wireless Local Area Network) 기술이 사용자에게 편리성과 유연성을 제공함에 따라 무선 분야에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 무선 랜 어플리케이션의 웹 접근과 같은 표준화된 인터넷 서비스에서부터 멀티미디어 비디오 및 음성 서비스와 같은 분야에서 매우 엄격한 지연시간/처리율이 요구된다. 따라서, 무선 랜의 효율을 높이기 위해 AP(Access Point)들 간 트래픽의 공정하고 효율적인 부하의 분산이 중요한 문제가 된다. 본 논문에서는 보다 나은 로드 밸런스를 달성하고, 네트워크 리소스 사용률을 증가시키기 위한 AP 선정 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 부하 측정과 AP 선정의 주요 파라미터로서 활성화 검사 패턴과 네트워크 지연을 사용한다. 또한, 상향 링크/하향링크 지연을 관찰함으로써 AP 트래픽 부하를 예측하고, 로드 밸런스를 통해 링크 자원의 효율성을 극대화하기 위해 예측 결과를 사용한다. 제안하는 기법은 NS-2(Network Simulation-2)를 이용하여 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) 기법과 비교하였다. 제안한 기법은 전체 네트워크의 처리율이 12.5% 향상된 것으로 나타났고, 상향링크/하향링크 지연 시간은 36.84%, 60.42%씩 감소되었다. 또한 제안한 기법은 전체 네트워크 처리율을 증가시켰으며, 비디오와 음성서비스를 우수한 품질로 제공하면서 상향링크/하향링크의 지연 시간을 감소시킴을 확인하였다

이동 무선망은 통신기반 설치가 필요 없는 빠르고 쉬운 망 구성 등의 장점으로 미래의 통신망으로 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 이동 무선망에서 임의의 두 노드간의 통신 경로는 노드의 이동성으로 인해 어떤 링크에서는 전송 범위($r_0$)를 벗어나 경로 붕괴가 일어나고 통신이 불가능하게 된다. 모든 노드 쌍의 경로 붕괴 시간의 모음인 총 경로붕괴 시간 집합(${\bigcup}T_i$)은 이동 무선망의 동적인 연결 상태를 측정하는 좋은 척도가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 총 경로붕괴 시간의 확률 밀도함수는 지수함수로 근사화 될 수 있음을 보이고 실험 데이터를 통해서 확인하였다. 경로붕괴 시간에 대한 통계적 특성을 알면 이동 무선망에서의 노드 간 지연, 패킷 손실률 등에 대한 정량적 예측을 할 수 있고 시뮬레이션 결과에 대한 확신을 더해 주게 된다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) is a biomarker for oxidative stress to induce inflammation. Methionine is an essential sulfur-containing amino acid with antioxidative activity. On the other hand, the evidence on whether and how methionine can depress HNE-derived inflammation is lacking. In particular, the link between the regulation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway and methionine intake is unclear. This study examined the link between depression from HNE accumulation and the anti-inflammatory function of ⳑ-methionine in rats. MATERIALS/METHODS: Male Wistar rats (3-week-old, weighing 70-80 g) were administered different levels of ⳑ-methionine orally at 215.0, 268.8, 322.5, and 430.0 mg/kg body weight for two weeks. The control group was fed commercial pellets. The hepatic HNE contents and the protein expression and mRNA levels of the inflammatory mediators were measured. The interleukin-10 (IL-10) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) levels were also estimated. RESULTS: Compared to the control group, hepatic HNE levels were reduced significantly in all groups fed ⳑ-methionine, which were attributed to the stimulation of GST by ⳑ-methionine. With decreasing HNE levels, ⳑ-methionine inhibited the activation of NF-κB by up-regulating inhibitory κBα and depressing phosphoinositide 3 kinase/protein kinase B. The mRNA levels of the inflammatory mediators (cyclooxygenase-2, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase, tumor necrotic factor alpha) were decreased significantly by ⳑ-methionine. In contrast, the protein expression of these inflammatory mediators was effectively down regulated by ⳑ-methionine. The anti-inflammatory action of ⳑ-methionine was also reflected by the up-regulation of IL-10. CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed a link between the inhibition of HNE accumulation and the depression of inflammation in growing rats, which was attributed to ⳑ-methionine availability. The anti-inflammatory mechanism exerted by ⳑ-methionine was to inhibit NF-κB activation and to up-regulate GST.

The power saving mechanism of IEEE 802.16e operates in two modes; awake mode and sleep mode. While the user terminal transmits and receives packets in awake mode, it sleeps for a given interval to save the power consumption in sleep mode. The IEEE 802.16e specifies that the user terminal increases the sleep interval exponentially unless it has to wake up. In this paper, we analyze the performance of IEEE 802.16e power saving mechanism by considering down link traffic conditions. With the extensive simulations, we observe the trade-off between the power saving performance and the average packet delay. In addition, we observe that various performance parameters of IEEE 802.16e power saving mechanism are affected by the traffic patterns.

We developed a human-sized BWR(biped walking robot) driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. The robot overcomes the limit of the driving torque of conventional BWRs. Each leg of the robot is composed of three pitch joints and one roll joint. In all, a 10 degree-of-freedom robot with two balancing joints was developed. The BWR was developed to walk autonomously such that it is actuated by small torque motors and is boarded with DC battery and controllers. In the performance test, the BWR performed nice motions of sitting-up and sitting-down. Through the test, we could find capability of high performance in biped-walking.

The design feasibility of a micro unidirectional DC transmission system based on an input-parallel output-parallel (IPOP) converter is analyzed in this paper. The system consists of two subsystems: an input-parallel output-series (IPOS) subsystem to step up the DC link voltage, and an input-series output-parallel (ISOP) subsystem to step down the output voltage. The two systems are connected through a transmission line. The challenge of the delay caused by the communication in the control system is addressed by introducing a ring communication structure, and its influence on the control system is analyzed to ensure the feasibility and required performance of the converter system under practical circumstances. Simulation and experiment results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design.

Self-equalizing tilting pad thrust bearings are usually employed in turbomachines to achieve high stability and reliability. A tilting pad bearing can incorporate self-equalizing links to handle the misalignment between the bearing and the thrust collar. In this popular design method, the pads sit on the upper-level plates and the lower-level plates stay on the retainer base. With misalignment, the pads that are heavily loaded are pushed down. Consequently, the link pushes up the pads on the opposite side, keeping the bearing surface parallel to the thrust collar surface. The self-equalizing link is used to handle the misalignment from the thermal and mechanical effects. In this study, the experimental investigation deals with the performance of self-equalizing tilting pad thrust bearings. The test rig for evaluating the performance of bearing is developed which can control the misalignment angle. Simultaneous measurements are taken for the force acting on each pad. Pad metal temperature and oil film thickness are functions of the shaft speed, bearing load, misalignment angle, and design of leveling plates. The effect of misalignment on bearing performance is discussed. The results demonstrate that the load on each pad depends on the test conditions(especially misalignment angle), and the load influences the performance of bearings.
