We proposed to apply compressed sensing to realize information sharing of link quality for wireless mesh networks (WMNs) with grid topology. In this paper, we extend the link quality sharing method to be applied for WMNs with arbitrary topology. For arbitrary topology WMNs, we introduce a link quality matrix and a matrix formula for compressed sensing. By employing a diffusion wavelets basis, the link quality matrix is converted to its sparse equivalent. Based on the sparse matrix, information sharing is achieved by compressed sensing. In addition, we propose compressed transmission for arbitrary topology WMNs, in which only the compressed link quality information is transmitted. Experiments and simulations clarify that the proposed methods can reduce the amount of data transmitted for information sharing and maintain the quality of the shared information.

In this report, solar cell characteristics were evaluated by doping the active layer CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) with 3.0 vol% and 6.0 vol% of potassium ion (KI) in an inverse-structured perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The Tauc plots of the absorbance characteristics and the ionization potential characteristics show that the top end of the valence band shifted by 0.21eV in the shallow direction from -5.34eV to -5.13eV, and the energy band gap decreased from 1.530eV to 1.525eV. Also, the XRD measurements show that the lattice constant decreased from 8.96Å to 8.93Å when KI was doped. The decrease in the lattice constant indicates that a part of the A site is replaced from methylammonium ion (MAI) to KI. In the J-V characteristics of the solar cell, the mean value of Jsc improved from 7.0mA/cm2 without KI to 8.8mA/cm2 with 3.0 vol% of KI doped and to 10.2mA/cm2 with 6.0 vol% of KI doped. As a result, the mean value of power-conversion efficiency (PCE) without KI was 3.5%, but the mean value of PCE improved to 5.2% with 3.0 vol% of KI doped and to 4.5% with 6.0 vol% of KI doped. Thus, it has shown that it is effective to dope KI to MAIPBI3, which serves as the active layer, even in the inverse-structured PSCs.

A double surface light emission backlight that uses single light-guide plate, has been developed for illumination of two liquid-crystal displays (LCD) on its front and rear, to be used in a cellular phone. The light-guide plate has a trapezoid cross-section with arrays of optical micro deflector and micro prism on the front and the rear surfaces, respectively. Propagated light, forward and backward, inside the light-guide plate are controlled and directed toward LCDs using only two prism sheets with internal reflection characteristic, each for the front and the rear. Only three optical components and four light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used in the new structure compared with ten components and six LEDs of the current type. Comparing with the current type, the thickness and power consumption of the new backlight are reduced by a factor of 0.59 and 0.67, respectively.

This paper presents a new framework for traffic flow control based on an integrated model description by means of Hybrid Dynamical System (HDS). The geometrical information on the traffic network is characterized by Hybrid Petri Net (HPN). Then, the algebraic behavior of traffic flow is transformed into Mixed Logical Dynamical Systems (MLDS) form in order to introduce an optimization technique. These expressions involve both continuous evolution of traffic flow and event driven behavior of traffic signal. HPN allows us to easily formulate the problem for complicated and large-scale traffic network due to its graphical understanding. MLDS enables us to optimize the control policy for traffic signal by means of its algebraic manipulability and use of model predictive control framework. Since the behavior represented by HPN can be directly transformed into corresponding MLDS form, the seamless incorporation of two different modeling schemes provide a systematic design scenario for traffic flow control.
