It is common to use PC or Digital picture frame in stand-alone fashion to view images, movies, or to listen MP3 musics which are considered as multimedia contents, However, such existing methods have weakness for expanding network requirements or augmenting extra data, in such case inevitably requiring external devices. With keeping in mind for such expansion, in this study, we have suggested a new concepts of network module which may utilize an image server for data transmission, in the proposed module, data alarm packet was defined for alerting incoming data from the image server and it became possible to synchronize between the image server and device not only in wired but also in wireless environments through UART. The method consists of a control module for an image server and a synchronization module between the server and the device. We have also tested the feasibility for future commercial usages such as advertisements through performance evaluations.

In this paper, V-band MMIC coupled oscillator arrays are presented. In the proposed array, two push-pull patch antennas are synchronized by using strong electromagnetic coupling between two antennas. As a result, total size of the array is reduced and the array can be integrated in a single chip. To verify proposed array concept, two 1$\times$2 arrays are designed and fabricated using standard 0.15 um gate length pHEMT MMIC process. The circuits are mounted in an oversized waveguide and measured. The first array shows 0.5 dBm at 56.372 GHz and the second one has an output of 5.85 dBm at 60.147 GHz.

As h-bridge multilevel inverter is connected with series of single phase power cell, so it obtain high voltage using low voltage power semi-conductor and output voltage similar to sine wave. In this topology, the number of power cell increases in proportion to the output voltage level. Therefore, there are drawbacks that are responsibility against operating ability of main controller and signal wire increase. However, we can overcome this problems by the substitution of serial communication for the PWM signal in power cell control. Additionally, it has merits of reliability and maintenance. This paper deals with the synchronization and phase-shift method of power cell PWM using CAN(Controller Area Network) communication interrupt in H-bridge multilevel inverter. The advantages of proposed method are signal-line simplification using serial communication between main controller and cell controller, burden reduction in main controller, modularization of power cell, easy protection of each power cell, expandability improvement and reliability increase of control signal and power cell. This paper establishes propriety and reliability of proposed method through experiment of 13-level H-bridge multilevel inverter.

자바언어의 특성이라고 할 수 있는 플랫폼 독립성과 객체지향성을 바탕으로 하여 일반 PC나 IMT 2000기기, PDA, 인터넷 TV, 인터넷 가전 등의 정보통신 기기와 윈도우, 유닉스, 리눅스와 같은 운영체제 모두 적용할 수 있는 자바브라우저의 개발은 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 즉, 자바가상머신(JVM, KVM)이 탑재되어 있는 모든 플랫폼에서 동작한다는 특징 하나만으로도 현재 Explorer와 Nescape사의 상용 브라우저사이의 양분화와 호환성문제를 해결해 준다고 할 수 있다. 그래서, 본논문에서는 현재 상용의 브라우저보단 기능면에서는 미약하지만 커다랄 확장성과 가능성을 가진 자바언어를 가지고 모든 기기에 동참할 수 있는 자바브라우저를 설계하고 구현하였다.

본 연구에서는 UWB(Ultra Wide Band width)기술인 임펄스 기술을 이용하여 초광대역 지반탐사 레이다를 개발하였다. 국내에서 사용되는 지반탐사 레이다는 대부분 수입품에 의존하고 있으며 이는 국내의 토양환경이나 측정 조건 등을 고려하지 않은 제품이기 때문에 기대만큼 만족도를 주지 못하고 있다. 따라서 국내 토양환경의 대부분을 차지하는 점토질에 대한 분석과 함께 지반탐사를 위한 최적의 주파수를 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 국내환경에 적합한 지반탐사 레이다를 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 100$\sim$300MHz외 주파수 대역을 가지는 임펄스를 이용하여 지반탐사 레이다 시제품을 개발하였으며 측정결과에서 지하 50cm$\sim$1m 이내에 매설된 금속 매설물들을 모두 검출하였으며 3m 범위까지 레이더 탐지가 가능함을 확인하였다. 기능 구현시 관련 프로그램 및 측정조건 등을 모두 모듈화 하여 향후 기능개선 및 적용분야 확대에 응용이 가능하도록 하였다.

This study aimed to develop a modular smart clothing system for heart rate monitoring that reduces the inconvenience caused by battery charging and the large size of measurement devices. The heart rate monitoring system was modularized into a temporary device and a continuous device to enable heart rate monitoring depending on the requirement. The temporary device with near-field communication (NFC) and heart rate sensors was developed as a clothing attachment type that enables heart rate monitoring via smart phone tagging when required. The continuous device is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication and batteries and was developed to enable continuous heart rate measurement via a direct connection to the temporary device. Furthermore, the temporary device was configured to connect with a textile electrode made of a silver-based knitted fabric designed to be located below the pectoralis major muscle for heart rate measurement. Considering the user-experience factors, key functions, and the ease of use, we developed an application to automatically log through smart phone tagging to improve usability. To evaluate the accuracy of the heart rate measurement, we recorded the heart rate of 10 healthy male subjects with a modular smart clothing system and compared the results with the heart rate values measured by the Polar RS800. Consequently, the average heart rate value measured by the temporary system was 85.37, while that measured by the reference device was 87.03, corresponding to an accuracy of 96.73%. No significant difference was found in comparison with the reference device (T value = -1.892, p = .091). Similarly, the average heart rate measured by the continuous system was 86.00, while that measured by the reference device was 86.97, corresponding to an accuracy of 97.16%. No significant difference was found in terms of the heart rate value between the two signals (T value = 1.089, p = .304). The significance of this study is to develop and validate a modular clothing system that can measure heart rates according to the purpose of the user. The developed modular smart clothing system for heart rate monitoring enables dual product planning by reducing the price increase due to unnecessary functions.

Despite the fact that navigation technology and educational programs were developed and maritime law has been enforced strictly, the number of maritime accidents has not dropped significantly. In order to reduce traffic accidents at sea, the preventive index for maritime accidents is designed and measured to evaluate and visualize the activities performed. The survey module is composed of preventive domains such as education, engineering, enforcement and information. The index was abstracted from the statistics of maritime accidents causes(2010~2012). It can be evaluated by using the newly developed survey modules. It was found that there is some correlation between the index value and the accident rate of maritime traffic. It is expected that this index will become another useful tool to help prevent maritime accidents.
