There are 21,000 National Surveying Control Points (NSCP) made of stone for precise surveying nationwide. NSCPs that provide location information are usually buried at the top of a mountain for view points that cannot be used by the public. Recently, according to the growing ubiquitous computing generation, location-based information has become very important and a service that can be easily accessed by the public is needed. In this research, a new type of reference point for a location information service is proposed. It is an Intelligent Reference Point (IRP) equipped with RFID tags and a two-dimensional bar-code system. The IRP system is composed of an electronic tag component, a tag identification component, and an IRP service component. We designed the IRP receiver identifying RFID tag and two-dimensional barcode was designed using a PDA, digital camera, and an RFID receiver. Also designed was IRP input data and input information. Furthermore, the operation software was developed in a PDA for identifying IRP and using IRP the service, and the IRP positioning method was developed using a GIS spatial analysis.

Various thicknesses of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films were deposited on glass substrate using pulsed dc magnetron sputtering with a cylindrical target designed for large-area high-speed deposition. The structural, electrical, and optical properties of the films of various thicknesses were characterized. All deposited AZO films have (0002) preferred orientation with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate. Crystal quality and surface morphology of the films changed according to the film thickness. The samples with higher surface roughness exhibited lower Hall mobility. Analysis of the measured data of the optical band gap and the carrier concentration revealed that there were no changes for all the film thicknesses. The optical transmittances were more than 85% regardless of film thickness within the visible wavelength region. The lowest resistivity, $4.13\times10^{-4}\Omega{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ was found in 750 nm films with an electron mobility $(\mu)$ of $10.6 cm^2V^{-1} s^{-1}$ and a carrier concentration (n) of $1.42\times10^{21} cm^{-3}$.

Researches of Hangul automation have been focused mainly on the set of character system. But, practical problem of using the Korean standard keyboard system of two sets is increment of errors and fatigue due to frequent use of shift keys. The author formulate a hypothesis as follows to solve the problem. 'Changing location and design of shift keys can reduce errors in typing Korean by avoiding interferences with other keys when pressing shift keys.' This study verify the hypothesis by the analysis of experiments using improved keyboard prototypes which have changed layout and design of shift keys. On the result, change of shift key location causes confusion to experienced user. But, while keeping its location, removing other keys at the bottom row and magnifying size of shift keys decrease errors in typing by avoiding interferences. And, the efficiency of typing in Korean is increased, too, because there is not any influence on typing speed. This study focuses on layout and design of shift keys only, but further study for entire layout of keyboard including alternative location of other function keys is needed to improve general usability.

The production rates of leavening gases and textures of cookies were investigated with various chemical leavening agents(baking powders). The chemical leavening agents could be divided into three group of a fast-acting group such as potassium bicarbonate, tartaric acid, aluminium ammonium sulfate, and fumaric acid, a slow-acting group such as ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, $glucono-{\delta}-lactone$, and ammonium chloride. and a double-acting group such as anhydro monocalcium phosphate, disodium dihydrogenpyrophosphate, and aluminium potassium sulfate according to the different production rate of gases. The leavening rate of ammonium bicarbonate, which was the highest of all leavening agents used in this experiment, was 131.25%. But its after-taste in a cookie was not good due to the residual ammonia. $Glucono-{\delta}-lactone$ only had no after-taste. The higher leavening rate, the more peaks in texture profile graph. Ammonium bicarbonate showed the most peaks in this experiment. It was found that the number of peak had correlation with brittleness of cookies $(r^2=0.8176)$ and brittleness of cookies was different as to various chemical leavening agents.

Mobile devices such as mobile phones or PDAs are considered as main interlace tools in ubiquitous computing environment. For searching information in mobile device, it should be possible for user to input some text as well as to control cursor for navigation. So, we should find efficient interlace method for text input in limited dimension of mobile devices. This study intends to suggest a new approach to mobile interaction using camera based virtual keyboard for text input in mobile devices. We developed a camera based virtual keyboard prototype using a PC camera and a small size LCD display. User can move the prototype in the air to control the cursor over keyboard layout in screen and input text by pressing a button. The new interaction method in this study is evaluated as competitive compared to mobile phone keypad in left input efficiency. And the new method can be operated by one hand and make it possible to design smaller device by eliminating keyboard part. The new interaction method can be applied to text input method for mobile devices requiring especially small dimension. And this method can be modified to selection and navigation method for wireless internet contents on small screen devices.

A pub(lish)/sub(scribe) system is a data forwarding system which forwards only interesting data among the whole published data, which is related to the subscriptions registered by end users. Classical pub/sub systems are realized by constructing a network of brokers which are responsible for storing or forwarding data. Along with the substantial increase of the population mobile users, it is required that the pub/sub system handles the subscriptions of user locations which changes continuously and frequently. In this paper, a new broker network based pub/sub system which efficiently handles the frequent changes of subscriptions related to user locations is proposed. In consideration of moving patterns of users and geographical property, the proposed pub/sub system categorize the entire data space into Slow Moving Region and Normal Moving Region, and manages the brokers which are responsible for these regions by using Q+R tree in order to handle user requests more efficiently. Through the extensive simulation, it is presented that the proposed Q+R tree based pub/sub system can reduce unnecessary needs of brokers and network traffic and can support the dynamic subscription related to user location.

In this paper, we present a prototype of view-switchable high-definition (HD) multi-view video transmission system. One of the major bottlenecks for the multi-view broadcasting system has been the hardware cost and transmission bandwidth. The proposed system focuses on software-based design, transmission over IP multicast networks, and flexible system configuration to address aforementioned problems. In the proposed system, we implement software stereo HD multiplexing, demultipiexing and decoding, and take advantage of high-speed broadband convergence networks to deliver HD video in real-time. Moreover, the proposed system can be scalable and flexible in terms of the number of views. Furthermore, in order to display any multiview video on 3D display monitor, a face tracking system is integrated to our system. Therefore, users can watch the different stereoscopic video at its related locations.

Hollow Core Slab is a very efficient system that can reduce weight and its use has increased. Void slab is a concrete slab that has voids substituted with void material. Because of its saved volume of concrete, void slab can reduce weight of slabs. Also, it can't only save concrete but also can reduce carbon-emission. However, because of the unclear bearing strength at the part of void substituted with voiding material, several problems occur in constructing field. In this study, void slab including void material was built and local bearing strength test was carried out for 3 types of load(truck load, support load and Jack support load). As a result, bearing strength of void neck and upper void material is more than allowable load. And also, bearing strength of specimens with using deck and not using deck are also over allowable loads.

플래시 메모리로 대표되는 비휘발성 메모리는 IT 기술의 발달에 힘입어 급격한 성장세를 나타내고 있지만, 메모리 소자의 크기가 작아짐에 따라서 그 물리적 한계에 이르러 차세대 메모리에 대한 요구가 점차 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 이러한 문제점에 대한 대안으로서 고속 동작 및 정보의 저장 시간을 향상 시킬 수 있는 nano-floating gate memory (NFGM)가 제안되었다. Nano-floating gate에서 사용되는 nanocrystal (NCs) 중에서 Si nanocrystal은 비휘발성 메모리뿐만 아니라 발광 소자 및 태양 전지 등의 매우 다양한 분야에 광범위하게 응용되고 있지만, NCs의 크기와 밀도를 제어하는 것이 가장 중요한 문제로 이를 해결하기 위해서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 또한, 소자의 소형화가 이루어지면서 기존의 플래시 메모리 한계를 극복하기 위해서 터널베리어에 관한 관심이 크게 증가했다. 특히, 최근에 많은 주목을 받고 있는 개량형 터널베리어는 크게 VARIOT (VARIable Oxide Thickness) barrier와 CRESTED barrier의 두 가지 종류가 제안되어 있다. VARIOT의 경우에는 매우 얇은 두께의low-k/high-k/low-k 의 적층구조를 가지며, CRESTED barrier의 경우에는 반대의 적층구조를 가진다. 이와 같은 개량형 터널 베리어는 전계에 대한 터널링 전류의 감도를 증가시켜서 쓰기/지우기 특성을 향상시키며, 물리적인 절연막 두께의 증가로 인해 데이터 보존 시간의 향상을 달성할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 박막의 $SiO_2$와 $Si_3N_4$를 적층한 VARIOT 타입의 개량형 터널 절연막 위에 전하 축적층으로 $SiN_x$층의 내부에 Si-NCs를 갖는 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 제작하였다. Si-NCs를 갖지 않는 $SiN_x$전하 축적층은 Si-NCs를 갖는 전하 축적층보다 더 작은 메모리 윈도우와 열화된 데이터 보존 특성을 나타내었다. 또한, Si-NCs의 크기가 감소됨에 따라 양자 구속 효과가 증가되어 느린 지우기 속도를 보였으나, 데이터 보존 특성이 크게 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로, NFGM의 빠른 쓰기/지우기 속도와 데이터 보존 특성을 동시에 만족하기 위해서는 Si-NCs의 크기 조절이 매우 중요하며, NCs크기의 최적화를 통하여 고집적/고성능의 차세대 비휘발성 메모리에 적용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
