Since the domestic introduction of iPhone in 2009, use of smartphones rapidly increased and many tasks, previously performed by various devices, are now performed by smartphones. In this process the importance of reading little text using small smartphone screen has become highly significant. This research tested how display factors of smartphone (pixel density, sub-pixel structure, luminance) and environmental factor (illumination) affect legibility related discomfort in text reading. The results indicated that legibility related discomfort is largely affected by pixel density, where people experience inconvenience when the pixel density becomes lower than 300 PPI. Illumination has limited effect on legibility related discomfort. Participants reported more legibility related discomfort when stimulus presented in various levels of illumination rather than single illumination level. Sub-pixel structure and luminance did not affected legibility related discomfort. Based on the results we suggest lower limit resolution of smart devices (smartphones, tablet computers) of different sizes for text legibility.

Devices capable of capturing and displaying high dynamic range (HDR) images with significantly increased brightness range compared to low dynamic range (LDR) images have been developed and various methods for efficiently converting the brightness range of an image have been developed. In this paper, we propose a reverse tone mapping method using a guided filter to efficiently convert LDR images into HDR images. After obtaining brightness enhancement function (BEF) using a guided filter, we can reconstruct HDR image from one LDR image. In addition, when the image is too bright or dark, the proposed method maximizes the image quality of the reconstructed HDR image by estimating and adjusting the exposure value before expanding the brightness range of images. Computer simulations show that the proposed method produces HDR images of superior quality compared with the conventional methods.

This paper proposes the instantaneous source voltage and phase current control for torque ripple reduction of a high speed miniature BLDC motor. As compared with general BLDC motor, a high speed miniature BLDC motor has a fast electrical time-constant. So the current and torque ripple are very serious in a conventional PWM switching during conduction period. In order to reduce the switching current ripple, instantaneously controlled source voltage is supplied to the inverter system according to the motor speed and load torque. In addition, the fast hysteresis current controller can keep the phase current In the limited band. The proposed method is verified by the computer simulation and experimental results.

Offloading tasks from mobile devices to available cloud servers were improved since the introduction of the cloudlet. With the implementation of dynamic offloading algorithms, mobile devices can choose the appropriate server for the set of tasks. However, current task distribution approaches do not consider the number of VM, which can be a critical factor in the decision making. This paper proposes a dynamic task distribution on clustered data centers. A proportional VM migration approach is also proposed, where it migrates virtual machines to the cloud servers proportionally according to their allocated CPU, in order to prevent overloading of resources in servers. Moreover, we included the resource capacity of each data center in terms of the maximum CPU in order to improve the migration approach in cloud servers. Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism for task distribution greatly improves the overall performance of the system.

As the portable information appliance is developed, the demand of flat panel display equipments and parts are steeply increased. Most of all, the applications of LCD such as LCD TV, monitor, digital camera, CNS(car navigation system) and game machine become diversified. With the result that the number of BLU production enterprise is increased and the research on the design of backlight with the superior optical properties is persistently in progress. In this study we developed the pattern design tools for CCFL(cold cathode flourescent lamp) backlight to improve the conventional pattern design environment in which the pattern is designed manually from the experience and the trial and error. For the verification of our research, we designed the light reflection surface patterns for a real model of backlight and we measured the brightness uniformity using the BM-7. From the brightness uniformity measurement, the BLU designed using the presented tool showed the tolerable performance only in the first try of pattern design rather than the fifth try of pattern design in case of the conventional pattern design.

우리나라의 유사량 조사는 각각의 수문조사기관에서 자료의 이용 목적에 따라 간헐적으로 수행되고 있을 뿐, 체계적이고 지속적인 조사가 이루어지지 않아 타 수문자료에 비해 측정자료 구축 현황은 상당히 미비한 상태에 있다. 측정 자료 또한 부유사 실측자료는 있으나 소류사 측정자료는 거의 전무한 상태이기 때문에 신뢰성 있는 총 유사량을 산정하기에는 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 현재 우리나라는 소류사량을 산정하기 위해 경험식에 의한 방법과 실측에 의한 방법을 이용하고 있다. 그러나 실측에 의한 방법은 측정 장비의 설치 및 운영에 따른 위험성이 동반되고 많은 인력, 경비, 시간이 소요되는 등 많은 문제점을 내포하고 있고, 경험식에 의한 방법 또한 대상 유역에 수많은 경험식 중 어떤 공식을 적용하는지에 따라 결과 값이 수십에서 수백 배 이상의 차이가 나기 때문에 실제 그 결과 값을 활용하기에는 신뢰의 정도가 떨어진다. 최근 국외에서는 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 음향 및 진동의 원리를 이용하여 소류사량을 간접적으로 추정하는 관측기기인 Hydrophone 및 Geophone이 개발되어 실용화를 위한 검토가 이루어지고 있다. 소류사량을 간접적으로 추정하는 방법은 기존의 직접측정 방법에 비해 측정이 간소화되고 지속적적인 관측이 가능하다는 점에서 유역의 소류사이동의 양과 질을 파악하는데 유효한 수단인 것으로 국외의 연구사례에서 언급하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 소류사 이동시 충돌에 의한 음향정보를 계측하여 소류사량을 연속적으로 측정할 수 있는 Hydro-Geophone을 활용하여 실내 실험을 구축하고, 소류사 이동에 따른 Hydro-Geophone의 충돌음향 계측 및 분석 등을 통해 현장에서 활용 가능한 소류사 추정 관계식을 개발하는 연구를 수행 하였다.

Assessing the effect of forest fires and measuring the gas concentration around a fire has received little attention. Therefore, the concentrations of various gases in areas surrounding a fire need to be measured by the development of a suitable device. Unlike conventional portable devices, the AQS (Air Quality System) proposed in this paper is a portable instrument that measures five types of gases simultaneously, including CO, CO2, NOx, VOCs, and NH3, and has high durability through sensor protection algorithms. A PC-based program with an AQS connection was developed to monitor the real-time changes in the gas concentration. The reliability of the developed device was proven through a comparison of the results with other commercial gas analyzers. Measurements of the concentration due to indoor and outdoor fires were performed around a fire area to review the applicability and the predicted results were obtained.

In this paper, we propose an attack detection technology using SDN Controller to study security threats in IoT environment. The research methodology has been developed by applying IoT security threat management technology to the IoT layer and analyzing the research trend of applied security technology. The study results show that the effectiveness of the detection method using the sampling method is studied by adding OpenFlow based SDN Controller to the network switch equipment of the existing IoT network. This method can detect the monitoring and attack of the whole network by interworking with IDS and IPS without affecting the performance of existing IoT devices. By applying such improved security threat countermeasure technology, we expect to be able to relieve anxiety of IoT security threat and increase service reliability.
