Visible light communication system transmits data by controlling light emission of LED and receives data through photo detecter, which is considered as one of strong candidates of next generation wireless communication systems. The transmission capacity of visible light communication system depends on light intensity emitted from LED, sensitivity of PD, distance between transmitter and receiver, angle of incidence at the receiver. In particular, the receiver's vertical and horizontal movement changes distance between transmitter and receiver and angle of incidence, which may degrades transmission capacity of system. In this paper, we propose an estimation algorithm of receiver's position and angle based on tracking of received light intensity for indoor visible light communication systems. The performance evaluation of proposed algorithm confirms that the estimation algorithm of receiver's position and angle is quite important for visible light communication system to improve its transmission capacity.

The absorbing rate of solar irradiation on the surface of an absorbing tube in a glass evacuated solar collector is numerically investigated. Four different shapes of the absorbing tubes are considered, and the absorbed solar irradiation on the surface is calculated for several distances between the absorbing tubes and the incidence angle of solar beam radiation. From the calculation, it is known that the absorbing rate of solar irradiation on the tube surfaces depends upon the shape and the arrangement of absorbing tube and the incidence angle.

The thermal performance of glass evacuated tube solar collectors are numerically and experimentally investigated. Four different shapes of solar collectors are considered and the performances of these solar collectors are compared. Dealing with a single collector tube, the effects of not only the shapes of the absorber tube but also the incidence angle of solar irradiation (beam radiation) on thermal performance of the collector are studied. However the solar irradiation consists of the beam radiation as well as the diffuse radiation. Also, the interference of solar irradiation and heat transfer interaction between the tubes exist in an actual solar collector. These effects are considered in this study experimentally and numerically the accuracy of the numerical model is verified by the experimental results. The result shows that the thermal performance of the absorber used a plate fin and U-tube is the best.

In the present investigation reflection and transmission of plane waves at an elastic half space and piezothermoelastic solid half space with fractional order derivative is discussed. The piezothermoelastic solid half space is assumed to have 6 mm type symmetry and assumed to be loaded with an elastic half space. It is found that the amplitude ratios of various reflected and refracted waves are functions of angle of incidence, frequency of incident wave and are influenced by the piezothermoelastic properties of media. The expressions of amplitude ratios and energy ratios are obtained in closed form. The energy ratios are computed numerically using amplitude ratios for a particular model of graphite and Cadmium Selenide (CdSe). The variations of energy ratios with angle of incidence are shown graphically. The conservation of energy across the interface is verified. Some cases of interest are also deduced from the present investigation.

Analytical investigation of acoustic wave scattering from turbulent premixed flames was conducted to evaluate the acoustic energy amplification/damping. Such acoustic energy change is attributed to the acoustic velocity jump due to flame's heat release. Small perturbation method up to second order and stochastic analysis were utilized to formulate net acoustic energy and the energy transfer from coherent to incoherent energy. Randomly wrinkled flame surface is responsible for the energy transfer from coherent to incoherent field. Nondimensional parameters that govern net acoustic energy were determined: rms height and correlation length of flame front, incident wave frequency, incidence angle, and temperature ratio. The dependence of net acoustic energy upon these parameters is illustrated by numerical simulations in case of Gaussian statistics of flame front. Total net energy was amplified and the major factors that affect such energy amplification are incidence angle and temperature ratio. Coherent (incoherent) energy is damped (amplified) with rms height and correlation length of flame front.

We chose the Kushiro wetland in Hokkaido, Japan, as a test site to monitor wetland areas. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can carry out continuous observation in any weather conditions, and can therefore be used to observe high humidity areas such as wetlands. We applied multi-parameter SAR data (dual-frequency, multi-polarization, and multi-incidence angle) to monitoring the wetland forest. To find the optimum incidence angle and polarization for monitoring the wetland biomass, a simple backscattering model of wetland vegetation was developed and applied to estimate backscattering coefficients for different biomass and surface conditions.

Microholographic gratings were prepared on an aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) surface using a 140-fs pulse at a center wavelength of 800 nm. The $Al_2O_3$ was deposited on a silicon wafer and on indium tin oxide glass to a thickness of approximately 25 nm using an atomic layer deposition process. The silicon wafer substrate exhibited reflection-type gratings that were measured as a function of the incidence angle. The diffraction efficiency of the fabricated gratings was measured, with a maximum diffraction efficiency of 45% at an incidence angle of approximately $30^{\circ}$.

In this letter, we designed and fabricated the paper-based ring-type frequency selective surface(FSSs) using inkjet printing method for practicable building wall applications to enhancement of the indoor communication environment, including low cost and ease of fabrication. Designed FSS has the band-stop characteristics at X-band, stable angle of incidence and wide bandwidth. Comparisons between measured and simulated results showed the good agreements.

The planarization of rough polycrystalline diamond films synthesized by DC arc discharge plasma jet CVD (chemical vapor deposition) was attempted using KrF excimer laser pulses. The effects of laser incidence angle and reaction gases (ozone and oxygen) on etching rate of diamond were studied. The temperature change of diamond and graphite with different laser fluences was calculated by computer simulation to explain the etching behavior of diamond films. The threshold energy density from the experiment for etching of pure crystalline diamond was about $1.7J/cm^2$ and fairly matched the simulation value. Preferential etching of a particular crystallographic plane was observed through scanning electron microscopy. The etching rate of diamond with ozone was lower than that with oxygen. When the angle of incidence was $80^{\circ}$ to the diamond surface normal, the peak-to-valley surface roughness was Significantly reduced from $20{\mu}m$ to $0.5{\mu}m$.

Total Station (TS) is currently widespread and used in many fields of surveying projects. However, its application functions are not perfectly understood and so insufficiently used. One of them is indirect leveling method using TS. Because we can reach a considerable accuracy level with this method, it is gradually expanding for public surveying works such as construction of roads, airports and harbors. This paper gives results of an experiment to increase accuracy of indirect leveling by TS without direct leveling, which is more comfortable and quick to determine elevation.
