Recently, developing medical devices have a tendency becoming the module for satisfying user's mutual complex needs. Because the most effective method for the observation of patients condition a diagnosis and a treatment is collecting data from various devices and controling operation following it. Module tendency is more popular due to manage easily totally many individual systems. This study implemented communication protocol to control by one control system connecting modular medical devices. Implemented system consist of one master module controlling all module and managing communication and many Slave modules. Communication between each modules introduced SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) among many synchronous serial communication methods for the exact transmission and receipt of data. All communication executes by packet format. This can detect error. And, this protocol introduced PNP(Plug And Play) function that auto-detect connecting or removing module during running. This protocol exactly transmitted and received in faster speed more than 1Mbps. And in practical application to the ventilator this confirmed to give and take real-time data. And various functions by th central control system is implemented in this protocol.

The number of IoT devices is explosively increasing due to the development of embedded equipment and computer networks. As a result, cyber threats to IoT are increasing, and currently, malicious codes are being distributed and infected to IoT devices and exploited for DDoS. Currently, IoT devices that are the target of such an attack have various installation environments and have limited resources. In addition, IoT devices have a characteristic that once set up, the owner does not care about management. Because of this, IoT devices are becoming a blind spot for management that is easily infected with malicious codes. Because of these difficulties, the threat of malicious codes always exists in IoT devices, and when they are infected, responses are not properly made. In this paper, we will design an malware detection system for IoT in consideration of the characteristics of the IoT environment and present detection rules suitable for use in the system. Using this system, it will be possible to construct an IoT malware detection system inexpensively and efficiently without changing the structure of IoT devices that are already installed and exposed to cyber threats.

As products that consumers want become more diverse, the types of automation equipment are becoming more diverse and advanced to produce competitive products. In general, equipment is manufactured with built-in interface devices (HMI) for users so that operators can efficiently monitor and operate equipment quickly. Because HMI devices are connected to various industrial controllers, elements such as communication protocols of various controllers must be understood and set up in the design stage. Non-experts not only have difficulty choosing compatible items among various protocols, but also have limitations in integrating and operating on one device because screens and settings are statically assigned. This paper proposes a model that can scan information such as equipment ID and communication protocol with QR code using a mobile device, access industrial controller, and remotely operate the displayed equipment screen. The proposed model is expected to increase efficiency in inspection and management of automated equipment as it can easily set, monitor, and operate the communication environment of various automated equipment using one mobile device.

인간과 기기간의 상호작용 심화에 의하여 모든 기기의 지능화, 첨단화 등이 요구됨에 따라 정보 기술 및 디스플레이 기술의 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있는 가운데 투명 전자 소자에 대한 연구가 급증하고 있다. 산화물 반도체는 가시광 영역에서 투명하고, 비정질 반도체에 비하여 이동도가 100 배 이상 크고, 결정화 공정을 거친 폴리 실리콘과 비슷한 값을 가지거나 조금 낮으며 유연한 소자에도 쉽게 적용이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있어 투명 전자 소자 제작시에 주로 이용되는 물질이다. 대부분의 산화물 반도체 박막 증착 방법은 스퍼터링 방법이나 유기금속 화학증착법과 같은 방법으로 막을 형성하는데 이러한 증착 방법들은 고품질의 박막을 성장시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 고가의 진공장비 및 부대 시설이 이용되고 이로 인한 제조비용의 상승이 되고, 기판 선택에 제약이 있는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 고가의 진공 장비가 필요 없이 스핀 코팅 방법이나 딥핑 방법 등에 의하여 공정 단계의 간소화, 높은 균일성, 기판 종류에 상관없는 소자의 대면적화가 가능한 용액 공정 기술이 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 용액 공정 기반의 박막을 형성하기 위해서는 비교적 높은 공정온도 혹은 압력 등의 외부 에너지를 필요로 하므로 열에 약한 유리 기판이나 유연한 기판에 적용하기가 어렵다. 최근 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 높은 온도의 열처리(thermal annealing) 를 대신 할 수 있는 microwave irradiation (MWI)에 대한 연구가 보고되고 있다. MWI는 $100^{\circ}C$ 이하에서의 저온 공정이 가능하여 높은 공정 온도에 대한 문제점을 해결할 뿐만 아니라 열처리 방향을 선택적으로 할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있어 현재 투명 디스플레이 분야에서 주로 이용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 HfOx 기반의 metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor를 제작하여 MWI에 따른 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. MWI는 금속의 증착 전과 후, 그리고 시간에 따른 조건을 적용하였으며 최적화된 조건의 MWI은 일반적인 퍼니스 장비에서의 높은 온도 열처리에 준하는 우수한 전기적 특성을 확인하였다.

The context-awareness of mobile applications yields several issues for testing, since mobile applications should be able to be tested in any environment and under any contextual input. In previous studies of testing for Android applications as an event-driven system, many researchers have focused on using generated test cases considering only Graphical User Interface (GUI) events. However, it is difficult to find failures that could be detected when considering the changes in the context in which applications run. It is even more important to consider various contexts since the mobile applications adapt and use the new features and sensors of mobile devices. In this paper, we provide a method of systematically generating various executing contexts from permissions. By referring to the lists of permissions, the resources used by the applications for running Android applications can be easily inferred. To evaluate the efficiency of our testing method, we applied the method on two open source projects and showed that it contributes to improve the statement code coverage.

In recent years, the radiotherapy equipment has become much more sophisticated, and with the complication comes an increased set of quality assurance (QA) responsibilities. Today's computer controlled linear accelerator requiring QA of not only the radiation integrity, but also the mechanical accuracy of the linear accelerator. The existing QA sheets are adequate for acceptance testing and commissioning but those sheets are somewhat descriptive form for routine QA. establishing the QA sheets for a facility are more efficient if the sheets could estimate the long-term stability for the result of QA. We are going to develope new prototype of mechanical QA sheet to visualize and to verify long-term stability of mechanical QA for clinical linear accelerator. The items included in mechanical QA sheet were 1) gantry rotation, 2) collimator rotation, 3) couch rotation, 4) optical distance indicator (ODI), and 5) laser alignment. We compared new prototype sheet with conventional sheet for several hospitals in Korea for those items. The QA acceptance criteria in this study mainly followed published recommendations. The contents of test for mechanical QA are the following. Confirm that the digital and/or mechanical gantry angle readouts are correct. Verify that digital and/or mechanical readouts of collimator angle agree with the true angle, as determined with the protractor. Measure the light field using a graph paper and compare with the digital readouts. Confirm digital readout accuracy. Verify that the sagittal laser, the left and right lasers, and the ceiling laser intersect at the isocenter. In the design of new QA sheet, we emphasized the representation of the long-term stability of mechanical QA by using Excel program. By using the new prototype QA sheet, we simplified and visualized the mechanical QA process, and could estimate the long-term stability of mechanical error of linear accelerator.

Many persons and electronic devices are exposed to electromagnetic (EM) waves generated from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, EM pulses (EMPs), and many other kinds of EM wave devices. Finger strips are used to provide shielding from these EM waves. Because of the high thermal conductivity of finger strips, they are used in the design of specialized doors that are installed in shielded rooms. In this study, we perform an accelerated life test using the load acceleration stress, which affects the main failure mode of finger strips. We predict the life of the finger strip under normal usage conditions based on the results of the accelerated life test. We compare the results with those predicted from the life test under normal usage conditions to evaluate the validity of accelerated life testing.
