In wireless sensor networks where there is no centralized base station, each node has limited transmission range and the multi-hop routing for transmitting data to the destination is the one of the important technical issues. In particular, the wireless sensor network is not powered by external power source but operates by its own battery, so it is required to maximize the network life through efficient use of energy. To balance the power consumption, the residual power based adaptive power control is required in routing protocol. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol that prolongs the network lifetime by balancing the power consumption among the nodes by controlling the transmit power according to the residual power. We evaluate the proposed routing protocol using extensive simulation, and the results show that the proposed routing scheme can balance the power consumption and prolong network lifetime.

AQS(Air Quality Control System) is the important part of a car air conditioning system. This device intercepts automatically the influx of harmful waste gas. In this paper reliability assessment criteria for AQS are established in terms of quality certification test and lifetime test. The former quality certification test comprises general performance test and environmental test. Items which pass the test undergo lifetime test which guarantees the extent of mean lifetime with certain confidence.

The measurement of dark ${\sigma}_D$, gamma-induced ${\sigma}_{\gamma}$ conductivities and the expected conductivity modulation ${\Delta}_{\sigma}$ in silicon wafers/samples is studied for developing a new technique for carrier lifetime evaluation. In this paper a simple method is introduced to find the carrier lifetime variations with the measured conductivity and conductivity modulation under dark and gamma irradiation conditions. It will be concluded that this simple method enables us to give an improved wafer evaluation, processing and quality control in the field of photovoltaic materials and other electronic devices.

Lifetime control technique by proton implantation has become an useful tool for production of modern power devices. In this work, punch-through type diodes were irradiated with protons for the high speed power diode fabrication. Proton irradiation which was capable of controlling carrier's lifetime locally was carried out at the various energy and dose conditions. Characterization of the device was performed by current-voltage, capacitance-voltage and reverse recovery time measurement. We obtained enhanced reverse recovery time characteristics which was about $45\;\%$ of original device reverse recovery time and about $73\;\%$ of electron irradiated device reverse recovery time. The measurement results showed that proton irradiation technique was able to effectively reduce minority carrier lifetime without degrading the other characteristics.

In mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs), all the nodes in a network have limited resources. Therefore, communication topology which has long lifetime is suitable for nodes in MANETs. And MANETs are exposed to various threats because of a new node which can join the network at any time. There are various researches on security problems in MANETs and many researches have tried to make efficient schemes for reducing network power consumption. Power consumption is necessary to secure networks, however too much power consumption can be critical to network lifetime. This paper focuses on energy efficient monitoring node distribution for enhancing network lifetime in MANETs. Since MANETs cannot use centralized infrastructure such as security systems of wired networks, we propose an efficient IDS node distribution scheme using minimum spanning tree (MST) method to cover all the nodes in a network and enhance the network lifetime. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in comparison with the existing algorithms.

Pneumatic cylinders are classified into rod-type pneumatic cylinders and rodless pneumatic cylinders depending on the presence of the rod. Rodless cylinders have a constant area and have no deflection. Rodless cylinders are widely used in automatic systems requiring high-speed performance and high-precision transportation. However, the research of the pneumatic cylinder has been focused on the structure and life characteristics. In this research, aging characteristics and shape parameter analysis which are related to the lifetime were investigated. By conducting the lifetime tests with two different materials for the transfer plate, the failure mode and lifetime characteristics were analyzed. By the Anderson-Darling (A-D) verification based on the complete data set, the analysis results of lifetime distribution, shape parameter, and scale parameter were provided.

Plasma polymerized para-xylene ($PP_PX$) deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was used as the barrier layer on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate to improve lifetime of the flexible organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs). The $PP_PX$ barrier layer deposited on top of the PET substrate with plasma power of 30 W at deposition pressure of 0.2 torr showed transmittance spectra good enough to be applied in FOLED on PET substrates. FOLEDs with the $PP_PX$ barrier layer (barrier-FOLEDs) showed similar I-V and B-V characteristics to FOLEDs without the $PP_PX$ layer (control-FOLEDs). The lifetime of barrier-FOLED was two times longer than that of the control-FOLED. With $PP_PX$ passivation layers, lifetimes of both control and barrier-FOLEDs were improved by more than 4 times. These results show that PECVD deposited $PP_PX$ layers can be used as barrier layers for FOLEDs on plastic substrates as well as passivation layers for general OLEDs.

A micro-scale discharge device has been fabricated using MEMS technology and failure mechanisms during DC discharge are investigated for the microstructure. The failure of sustaining the plasma is mainly caused by either open or short of the micro-electrodes, both resulting from the sputtered metal atoms during the DC discharge. The glow discharge lifetime of the microstructures is found to depend on bias circuit scheme as well as the electrode structure. Based on the understanding of the failure mechanism, a novel microstructure is suggested to improve discharge lifetime and the longer lifetime is experimentally demonstrated. In addition to the failure mechanism, an electric breakdown between two electrodes with microns gap are studied using micromachined metal structures. The electrode gap is able to be accurately controlled by thickness of a sacrificial layer and the electric breakdown was measured while varying the gap from $2{\mu}m$ to $20{\mu}m$. The electric breakdown behavior was found to highly depend on the electrode material, which was not considered in Paschen's law.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used in geographically isolated applications like military border area monitoring, battle field surveillance, forest fire detection systems, etc. Uninterrupted power supply is not possible in isolated locations and hence sensor nodes live on their own battery power. Localization of sensor nodes in isolated locations is important to identify the location of event for further actions. Existing localization algorithms consume more energy at sensor nodes for computation and communication thereby reduce the lifetime of entire WSNs. Existing approaches also suffer with less localization coverage and localization accuracy. The objective of the proposed work is to increase the lifetime of WSNs while increasing the localization coverage and localization accuracy. A novel intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle anchor node (IUAN) is proposed to reduce the communication cost at sensor nodes during localization. Further, the localization computation cost is reduced at each sensor node by the proposed intelligent arc selection (IAS) algorithm. IUANs construct the location-distance messages (LDMs) for sensor nodes deployed in isolated locations and reach the Control Station (CS). Further, the CS aggregates the LDMs from different IUANs and computes the position of sensor nodes using IAS algorithm. The life time of WSN is analyzed in this paper to prove the efficiency of the proposed localization approach. The proposed localization approach considerably extends the lifetime of WSNs, localization coverage and localization accuracy in isolated environments.

이 논문에서는 이동 애드혹 네트워크 환경에서 네트워크 생존시간을 최대화하기 위한 에너지 인지 기반 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안 라우팅 프로토콜은 소스 라우팅 방식을 기반으로 하며, 이동 노드의 송수신 전력 소모량과 배터리 잔량을 소스 노드와 목적지 노드 종단간 고려하여 생존시간이 가장 긴 경로를 선택한다. 이를 위한 새로운 라우팅 비용을 제안하며, 경로 탐색시 발생하는 제어 패킷 오버헤드를 최소화하는 라우팅 프로토콜을 설계한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안방식은 전송 홉 수, 전송률, 에너지 소비량 측면에서 기존 방식과 비슷한 수준의 성능을 보이면서, 생존시간 측면에서는 기존 방식 대비 약 20%의 성능향상을 보여준다.
