With great advancements in the technology of smartphones and mobile networking, the global society is beginning to embrace another boom of various wireless networking services and applications. Following this trend, WLAN based networking devices and products have become the most popular means of data communication for supporting these future services. However, contrary to existing QoS researches conducted in WLAN environments, these future applications have unique demands and requirements depending on the type of service they provide. Therefore, as being the primary means of communication in the present and future alike, WLAN based communication technology must account for these difference in services and provide efficient means of supporting QoS for them. This thesis views various scenarios and use cases of WLAN based multi-hop networking environments and analyzes the problems that current WLAN systems may pose. To account for these problems, novel solutions are proposed and analyzed to show that the contributions in this thesis can greatly improve the efficiency of future WLAN based services. Especially, three technologies of supporting QoS are discussed: 1) Enhancing QoS for data dissemination in vehicular speed communications systems, 2) Streaming multimedia surveillance systems, and 3) Power efficient QoS for battery-limited systems. It is expected that each technology can improve the performance of QoS in WLAN based multi-hop networking applications depending on the various requirements that they demand

    Detection of fatigue crack on a rotating steel shaft using air-coupled nonlinear ultrasonic modulation

    No full text
    Rotating shafts in drop lifts of manufacturing facilities are susceptible to fatigue cracks as they are under repetitive heavy loading and high speed spins. However, it is challenging to use conventional contact transducers to monitor these shafts as they are continuously spinning with a high speed. In this study, a noncontact crack detection technique for a rotating shaft is proposed using air-coupled transducers (ACTs). (1) Low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) sinusoidal inputs are simultaneously applied to a shaft using two ACTs, respectively. A fatigue crack can provide a mechanism for nonlinear ultrasonic modulation and create spectral sidebands at the modulation frequencies, which are the sum and difference of the two input frequencies Then LF and HF inputs are independently applied to the shaft using each ACT. These three ultrasonic responses are measured using another ACT. (2) The damage index (DI) is defined as the energy of the first sideband components, which corresponding to the frequency sum and difference between HF and LF inputs. (3) Steps 1 and 2 are repeated with various combinations of HF and LF inputs. Crack existence is detected through an outlier analysis of the DIs. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is investigated using a steel shaft with a real fatigue crack

    No full text
    Weinberg converter is widely used to battery discharge regulator of satellite system because it guarantees soft-switching of all devices and has low output current ripple. However, due to leakage inductance of the coupled inductor and transformer, the voltage stress of powering diode and the output current spike are increased. To overcome these problems, weinberg converter with auxiliary switch and capacitor is presented in this paper. The proposed converter significantly reduces the voltage stress of powering diode. In additions, the output current spike is decreased by adopting auxiliary circuit. Thus, the conduction loss of the powering diode and output current ripple are reduced. As a results the proposed converter achieves high efficiency and high power density with the reduced output filter. The verification is performed with 400 W/50 V prototype

    학위논문(박사) - 한국과학기술원 : 원자력공학과, 1993.8, [ xi, 102 p. ]A theoretical model for soil water characteristic curves based on the effective pore radius distribution of the soil medium and capillarity law, was derived. Using this new curve and Mualem``s model, the evolution of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and soil water diffusivity functions was explored. The equations for these three parameters are not expressed in analytic forms but as integrals. However, it was found that they reveal realistically the characteristics of unsaturated soils. Results of the new soil water characteristic and relative hydraulic conductivity relationship were compared with observed data of four soils with a wide range of soil physical properties. A fairly good agreement between the calculated curves and observed data was obtained irrespective of the scale of effective pore radius. The Galerkin finite element formulation is used to solve the problem of one-dimensional, vertical flow of water and mass transport of conservative-nonconservative solute in unsaturated porous media. Numerical approximations based on different forms of governing equation, although they are equivalent in continuous forms, can result in remarkably different solutions in unsaturated flow problem. Solutions given by simple Picard iteration method based on the h-based Richards equation yields large mass balance error and underestimation of infiltration depth. Usually the θ\theta-based form of Richards equation has not been used for unsaturated flow analysis because of the restriction in convergence. With the employment of ROMV (Restoration of Main Variable) concept in the discretization step, the mass conservative numerical solution algorithm for water flow has been derived. When the ROMV concept is used, the discretized equations based on the standard h-based and θ\theta-based Richards equation can also be used for flow analysis in unsaturated soil media. The resulting computational schemes for water flow and mass transport are applied to sandy soil. The ROMV me...한국과학기술원 : 원자력공학과
