Lately, since Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor(CMOS) image sensor system has low power, low cost and been miniaturized, hardware and applied software studies using these strengths are being carrying on actively. However, the products equipped with CMOS image sensor based polling method yet has several problems in degree of completeness of applied software and firmware, compared with hardware’s. CMOS image sensor system has an ineffective synchronous problem due to superfluous message exchange. Also when a sending of data is delayed continually, overhead of re-sending is large. So because of these, it has a problem in structural stability according to Polling Method. In this study, polling cycle was subdivided in high-speed synchronization method of firmware -based through MCU and synchronization method of Stepwise was proposed. Also, re-connection and data sending were advanced more efficiently by using interrupt way. In conclusion, the proposed method showed more than 20 times better performance in synchronization time and error connection. Also, a board was created by using C328R board of CMOS image sensor-based and ATmega128L which has low power, MCU and camera modules of proposed firmware were compared with provided software and analyzed in synchronization time and error connection.

Sensor network, that is an infrastructure of ubiquitous computing, consists of a number of sensor nodes of which hardware is very small. The network topology and routing scheme of the network should be determined according to its purpose, and its hardware and software may have to be changed as needed from time to time. Thus, the sensor network simulator being capable of verifying its behavior and estimating performance is required for better design. Sensor network simulators currently existing have been developed for specific hardwares or operating systems, so that they can only be used for such systems and do not provide any means to estimate the amount of power consumption and program execution time which are major issues for system design. In this study, we develop the sensor network simulator that can be used to design and verify various sensor networks without regarding to types of applications or operating systems, and also has the capability of predicting the amount of power consumption and program execution time. For this purpose, the simulator is developed by using machine instruction-level discrete-event simulation scheme. As a result, the simulator can be used to analyze program execution timings and related system behaviors in the actual sensor nodes in detail. Instruction traces used as workload for simulations are executable images produced by the cross-compiler for ATmega128L microcontroller.

The hardware of an LED lighting control system for coastal lighting at coastal pier entrance consists of a power supply unit, an AVR control unit, a CLCD output unit, an LED control unit, a scenario selection switch unit, and an operation speed display unit. It is made of an 8-channel. The CPU used ATmega128 and the FET was used to control the current signal. To operate the CPU, DC 12V was converted to DC 5V using a regulator 7805. A heat sink was used to remove heat generated in the FET. By connecting the load LED module to the manufactured 8-channel LED lighting control system, the operation was confirmed through various production scenarios. In addition, a control system was designed to show the most suitable color for the atmosphere of the coastal pier according to the input value of temperature and illumination using a fuzzy control system. Computer simulation was then conducted. Results confirmed that fuzzy control did not need to store many data inputs due to characteristics of artificial intelligence and that it could efficiently represent many output values with simple fuzzy rules.

Conductive charging of electric vehicles has entered a stable stage, and various product lines have been developed and standards have been made. Inductive charging methods can be classified into various other methods such as Indirect Power Transfer, Coupled Magnetic Resonance, and Permanent Magnet Coupled Transfer. Since choosing the most effective charging method for electric vehicles is difficult, standardizing the method of wirelessly transferring power is still a challenge to be achieved in a future. SAE J2954 sets an overall standard of electric vehicle Wireless Power Transport system. This paper proposes a wireless charging module that installs two receiving coils at a certain distance under the vehicle to minimize coil alignment due to incorrect parking and other vehicle full length during static charging. Finally, we developed an ATmega128 MCU-based module prototype and tested it to verify the efficiency of lower misalignment probability in different alignment charging environments compared to conventional single VA coils.

In this paper, we implemented the surveillance camera system capable of day and night shooting. To this end, it is designed to capture clear images even at night using a CMOS image sensor as well as an IR-LED. In addition, a relatively simple motion detection algorithm was proposed through color model separation. Motions can be detected by extracting only the H channel from the color model, dividing the image into blocks, and then applying the block matching method using the average color value between consecutive frames. When motions are detected during filming, an alarm sounds automatically and a day and night motion detection system is implemented that can capture and save the event screen to a PC.

Recently, stream cipher Rabbit was selected for the final eSTREAM portfolio organized by EU ECRYPT and as one of algorithm in part of ISO/IEC 18033-4 Stream Ciphers on ISO Security Standardization. However, a feasibility of practical power analysis attack to algorithm in experiment was introduced. Therefore, we propose appropriate methods such as random masking and hiding schemes to secure against power analysis attack on stream cipher Rabbit. We implement the proposed method with increment of 24% operating time and 12.3% memory requirements due to maintaining a high-speed performance. We use a 8-bit RISC AVR microprocessor (ATmegal128L chip) to implement our method for practical experiments, and verify that stream cipher Rabbit with our method is secure against power analysis attack.

The ubiquitous flexible operating system (UbiFOS) is a real-time operating system designed for cost-conscious, low-power, small to medium-sized embedded systems such as cellular phones, MP3 players, and wearable computers. It offers efficient real-time operating system services like multi-task scheduling, memory management, inter-task communication and synchronization, and timers while keeping the kernel size to just a few to tens of kilobytes. For flexibility, UbiFOS uses various task scheduling policies such as cyclic time-slice (round-robin), priority-based preemption with round-robin, priority-based preemptive, and bitmap. When there are less than 64 tasks, bitmap scheduling is the best policy. The scheduling overhead is under 9 ${\mu}s$ on the ARM926EJ processor. UbiFOS also provides the flexibility for user to select from several inter-task communication techniques according to their applications. We ported UbiFOS on the ARM9-based DVD player (20 kB), the Calm16-based MP3 player (under 7 kB), and the ATmega128-based ubiquitous sensor node (under 6 kB). Also, we adopted the dynamic power management (DPM) scheme. Comparative experimental results show that UbiFOS could save energy up to 30% using DPM.
