In the case of a capsule that can acquire and transmit images from the intestines, the size of the module and the battery capacity in the capsule are subject to restriction. The capsule must be swallowable and the battery must maintain the stable power during the capsule travels in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, it is important to control the endoscope using bi-directional wireless communication. In this study, encoder and decoder CPLD modules for bi-directional capsule endoscopes were designed and implemented. The designed controller for capsule endoscope can transmit the images of GI-track from inside to outside of the body and the capsules can be controlled by external controller simultaneously. The designed and implemented controller was verified by an in-vivo animal experiments. From these experiments, it was verified that the CPLD module for bi-directional capsule endoscope satisfied the design specifications.

The digital tachograph is a device that automatically records speed and distance of a vehicle, together with the driver's activity and vehicle status at an accident. It records vehicle speed, break status, acceleration, engine RPM, longitude and latitude of GPS, accumulated distance, and so on. European Commission regulation made digital tachographs mandatory for all trucks from 2005. Republic of Korea made digital tachographs mandatory for all new business vehicles from 2011 and is widening the range of vehicles that must install digital tachographs year by year. This device is used to analyze driver's daily driving information and car accidents. Under a car accident that makes the device reliability unpredictable, it is very important to store driving information with maximum reliability for its original mission. We designed and implemented a practical digital tachograph. This paper presents a storage scheme that consists of a first storage device with small capacity at a high reliability and a second storage device with large capacity at a low cost in order to reliably records data with a hardware at a low cost. The first storage device records data in a SLC NAND flash memory in a log-structured style. We present a reverse partial scan that overcomes the slow scan time of log-structured storages at the boot stage. The scheme reduced the scan time of the first storage device by 1/50. In addition, our design includes a scheme that fast stores data at a moment of accident by 1/20 of data transfer time of a normal method.

A loosely coupled message broker system is a popular method for integrating distributed software components. Especially, a distributed broker structure with multiple brokers with active-standby or active-active message replicas are used to enhance availability as well as message processing performance. However, there are problems in both active-standby and active-active replica structure. The active-standby has relatively low processing performance and The active-active structure requires a high synchronization overhead. In this paper, we propose an active-active structure of replicas to increase the availability of the brokers without compromising its high fault-tolerancy. In the proposed structure, standby replicas process the requests of the active replicas so that load balancing is achieved without additional brokers, while the distributed coordinators are used for the synchronization process to decrease the overhead. We formulated the overhead incurred when synchronizing messages among replicas, and the formulation was used to support the experiment results. From the experiment, we observed that replicas of the active-active structure show better performance than the active stand-by structure with increasing number of users.

As the computer technology grows so fast, it can affect the human life in every fields. Specially, advent of Digital epoch is changing human life completely. In the past, people should get the information through the mass-media. But these days we can produce and provide some information through new media, Internet. In other words, two-ways communication like internet make individual be the producer in the information stream. Especially, net generation is different form the old generation and they want to express themselves distinctively from others. Nevertheless, they can't have the chance to express their identity properly and only they try to satisfy their needs by consuming special goods. In this article, I want to suggest a program that an individual can express their own identity and image. I will transform CIP (Corporate Information Program) and adjust it to an individual case. This is different from the previous study that emphasize the external factor figure, etc. First, we will find the MI(mind identity) and the BI(behavior identity). Second, we will present the VI(visual identity) by using two factors. - MI, VI. Finally, we will analyze them totally and make the PI(personal identity ) that can express their own identity and philosophy well. Through this programs, they can express themselves well and get the chance to think creatively. I am sure this program will have more implications about image strategy.

In this paper, the equalizer techniques that is able to adopt the digital on-channel repeater for 8VSB-based DTV system has been analyzed and we propose an effective equalizer structure which can reduce the error propagation phenomenon by the feedback signal and improve the receiver performance at the same time. In order to confirm the effective cancellation of the feedback signal, the multi-level Correlation LMS scheme is proposed through the analysis of conventional basic LMS based DFE and Correlation LMS algorithm and as compared with the conventional method, we can confirm the reduction of error propagation. When performing the computer simulation, as the Brazil channel model which is very popular for DTV broadcasting system is adopted, the result is drawn by comparing and analysing the equalizer algorithm. We have examine the symbol error rate which is in the range of 15~25dB of operation receipt SNR and MSE(Mean Square Error) in the DTV broadcasting system. As a result of comparing with the existing method, the signal-noise ratio which is necessary for maintain the bit error correction ability that the means of proposal is same is reduced by about 2~5dB, and in the rate of convergence through the MSE, we found the reduction of needed time.

Fine particulate matter known as PM 2.5 refers to the atmospheric particulate matter that has a diameter less than 2.5 micrometer identified as dangerous element for human health and its concentration can provide us a clear picture about air dust concentration. Humans stay indoor almost 90% of their life time and also there is no official indoor dust concentration data, so our study is focused on measuring the indoor air quality. Indoor dust data monitoring is very important in hospital environments beside that other places can also be considered for monitoring like classrooms, cements factories, computer server rooms, petrochemical storage etc. In this paper, visible light communication system is proposed by Manchester encoding technique for electromagnetic interference (EMI)-free indoor dust monitoring. Important indoor environment information like dust concentration is transferred by visible light channel in wide range. An average voltage-tracking technique is utilized for robust light detection to eliminate ambient light and low-frequency noise. The incoming light is recognized by a photo diode and are simultaneously processed by a receiver micro-controller. We can monitor indoor air quality in real-time and can take necessary action according to the result.

A sell-designed rate control strategy can improve overall picture quality for video transmission over a constant bit rate channel and the rate control method is not a normative part of MPEG-video standard, the performance of MPEG video codec can be quite different depends on how to implement the rate control scheme. The rate control scheme proposed in MPEG show good results when scene changes is not occurred. But it has weakness that it does not properly handle scene-changed pictures. Therefore picture quality after scene change is deteriorated, and possibility of overflow occurrence becomes high. In this paper, a new method for detection of scene change occurrence using local variance and a new determination scheme for adaptive quantization parameter, mqunt, which can consider local characteristic of an image by using previously computed the local variance from the scene change detection part are proposed. IN addition, and adaptive rate control scheme which can handles scene changed picture very efficiently by scene-changed picture is proposed. Computer simulations are performed to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. The suggested detection algorithm precisely detected scene change. And the proposed rate control scheme shows better rate control performance as compared with that of the conventional MPEG scheme.

The subjects in this study were 500 students who were selected from a population that consisted of security majors who took courses in martial arts in four different four-year-course universities. After a survey was conducted, the answer sheets from 451 students were analyzed except 49 incomplete ones. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS Ver. 12.0 program. Frequency analysis, t-test and one-way ANOVA were utilized, and LSD and regression analysis were employed to make a post-hoc comparison. All the hypotheses formulated in this study were verified at the a=.05(Chronbach's alpha) level of significance. The findings of the study were as follows: First, as for relations between demographic characteristics and self- realization, the college students investigated were statistically different according to gender in three subvariables of self-realization that included ability development, ability display and attainment of ideal. Age and academic year made a significant difference to their ability development and attainment of ideal, and they differed statistically significantly in terms of ability development according to black lebel test. Second, concerning connections between the degree of martial-arts training and self-realization, training term, one of the subvariables of the degree of martial-arts training had a positive correlation to their ability development and attainment of ideal at the 5% level of significance, and training time was positively correlated to their ability development at the 5% level of significance. Third, training term, one of the subvariables of the degree of martial- arts training, had an impact on ability development, and that exerted a firsthand influence on attainment of ideal as well.
