The scattered field by a gap/crack on the PEC surface of a large object having low-observable RCS cannot be negligible, but may not be analyzed by the known high-frequency technique. If the electrical width of the crack is very small, the crack can be modeled by an impedance strip, whose scattering formulation can be analytically obtained based on a low-frequency approximation. The scattering solution is formulated for the 2D strip and TE(Transverse Electric) or TM(Transverse Magnetic) wave incidence, from which a 3D ILDC(Incremental Length Diffraction Coefficients) can be extracted. Using the ILDC formulation, the scattering by any arbitrary shaped crack can be estimated. In this paper, an improved ILDC equations are proposed, which combine the known TE and TM solutions. The improved accuracy of the proposed solution is numerically verified.

Intense quasi-monochromatic x-ray irradiation from the linear plasma target is described. The plasma x-ray generator employs a high-voltage power supply, a low-impedance coaxial transmission line, a high-voltage condenser with a capacity of about 200 nF, a turbo-molecular pump, a thyristor pulse generator as a trigger device, and a flash x-ray tube. The high-voltage main condenser is charged up to 55 kV by the power supply, and the electric charges in the condenser are discharged to the tube after triggering the cathode electrode. The x-ray tube is of a demountable triode that is connected to the turbo molecular pump with a pressure of approximately 1 mPa. As electron flows from the cathode electrode are roughly converged to the molybdenum target by the electric field in the tube, the weakly ionized plasma, which consists of metal ions and electrons, forms by the target evaporating. In the present work, the peak tube voltage was almost equal to the initial charging voltage of the main condenser, and the peak current was about 20 kA with a charging voltage of 55 kV. When the charging voltage was increased, the linear plasma x-ray source grew, and the characteristic x-ray intensities of K-series lines increased. The quite sharp lines such as hard x-ray lasers were clearly observed. The quasi-monochromatic radiography was performed by a new film-less computed radiography system.

Dew generation on an outer surface is considered as an important issue to be settled in the field of home appliances. In the case of a refrigerator that is subject to the dew generation problem on the surface of an outer-door of refrigeration thread, and so as to solve this problem, the electric heater is generally used for drying the dew. However, the heater inevitably requires electrical power consumption that is one of critical issues on the refrigerator. In this study, to prevent dew generation without the heater, a method of using induced heat from room temperature was proposed. In edge sides of a door, high conductive plates are installed and received the heat from outside that is relatively high temperature, and the heat is transferred onto dew generation region. Using prototypes, performance test was conducted under a certain temperature and humidity condition. The experimental results show that the surface temperature on the dew generation region was increased about $0.3{\sim}2.5^{\circ}C$ without use of any heater.

In this paper, the leaky electric field intensity of outdoor CATV facilities on CDMA mobile service band defined in technical regulation related with CATV is investigated if appropriate or not. From experimental and theoretical analysis results, Maximum allowable power level of CATV leakage should be -110dBm/1.23MHz. Also, the CATV leakage intensity thresholds, which may not nearly give an impact on the uplink performance of CDMA mobile base station for outdoor background noise of -100~-80dBm/1.23MHz to be measured in outdoor environment, couldn't conform to the current CATV technical regulation. Therefore, the leakage intensity in the current CATV technical regulation is rated as a too much low level in view of an overly worst case.

The MM22 microtron has used as a cancer therapy machine from Nov. 1986 to Feb. 2006. This machine was moved and installed to a radiation research center to use as an education and research tool from treatment machine because of aging of MM22 microtron. In this paper, for extracting the electron beam from microtron, operation principle of the microtron, system characteristics of each module, and pulse structures were reviewed. The beam extraction and measurement were performed after measuring pulses of each major module and extraction trials in the beam line. After finishing the movement of MM22 microtron, the 30mA target current in the case of 10 MV X-ray beam was extracted and the beam flatness of radiation distribution was acquired within 3% error ratio after 100 MU was irradiated on X-omatV Film at SSD 100 cm and field size $10{\times}10cm^2$. As a result, the microtron movement and new installation was performed with success.

The main goal of research concerning clustering protocols is to minimize the energy consumption of each node and maximize the network lifetime of wireless sensor networks. However, most existing clustering protocols mainly focused on the design and formation of clusters, leaving the consideration of communication between the cluster head and the sink behind. In this paper, we propose efficient multi path routing algorithm by using MAC-NET Cross-layering. multi path needed only one tiny packet from sink to setup. In addition proposed algorithm can be used for any cluster-based hierarchical inter-clustering routing algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that proposed algorithm extended the overall survival time of the network by reducing the load of cluster heads. The performance of proposed algorithm is less affected by the extension of sensing field than other inter-clustering operation.

Since wireless sensor networks (WSN) have relatively narrow bandwidth and have limited memory space. Mosaic by inlaying images transmitted by adjacent sensors can provide wider field of view and smaller storage memory. Most WSN are used for surveillance purpose, image acquisition period should be sufficiently short, so that mosaic algorithm has to be run in real time. Proposed algorithm is derived by using the fact that position of sensor nodes are fixed and known. Transformation matrix can be calculated by using distance between sensor nodes and distance between sensor nodes and predefined object. Simulation result shows that proposed algorithm provides very short processing time whereas it preserves image quality.

Times New RomanThe utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the smart grid application can construct efficient and reliable electrical grid. IEC 61850 was adopted as the standard for smart grid exchanging the information required in an electric power utility. However, applying technologies like IEC 61850 using Ethernet to the automation of small distribution substation directly may cost more than the value of the small distribution substation itself. IEEE 802.15.4 technology attracts attention in the field of power utility automation because of low installation cost and ease of installation. Studies are conducted, which use IEEE 802.15.4 in less strict D1 small distribution substation. This study applied IEEE 802.15.4 to the small distribution substation and conducted performance evaluation using the actual equipment. This study determined the scope of application of IEEE 802.15.4 by conducting a comparative analysis of the message type in IEC 61850.

Active stereo vision system allows us to localize a target object by passing only the features of small disparities without heavy computation for identifying the target. This simple method, however, is not applicable to the situations where a distracting background is included or the target and other objects are located on the zero disparity area simultaneously To alleviate these problems, we combined filtering with foveation which employs high resolution in the center of the visual field and suppresses the periphery which is usually less interesting. We adopted an image pyramid or log-polar transformation for foveated imaging representation. We also extracted the stereo disparity of the target by using projection to keep the stereo disparity small during tracking. Our experiments show that log-polar transformation is superior to either an image pyramid or traditional method in separating a target from the distracting background and fairly enhances the tracking performance.

A new via cutting structure in 2-layer DRAM package substrate has been fabricated to lower its power distribution network(PDN) impedance. In new structure, part of the via is cut off vertically and its remaining part is designed to connect directly with the bonding pad on the package substrate. These via structure and substrate design not only provide high routing density but also improve the PDN impedance by shortening effectively the path from bonding pad to VSSQ plane. An additional process is not necessary to fabricate the via cutting structure because its structure is completed at the same time during a process of window area formation. Also, burr occurrence is minimized by filling the via-hole inside with a solder resist. 3-dimensional electromagnetic field simulation and S-parameter measurement are carried out in order to validate the effects of via cutting structure and VDDQ/VSSQ placement on the PDN impedance. New DRAM package substrate has a superior PDN impedance with a wide frequency range. This result shows that via cutting structure and power/ground placement are effective in reducing the PDN impedance.
