  • In the case of a failure due to equipment deterioration in the public address system or a worker's mistake during construction, broadcasting becomes impossible. In this situation, we have designed a more advanced management broadcast system that can broadcast. The broadcasting service is operated using main broadcasting device, and local broadcasting device operates separately only in the local area. If the main broadcasting device becomes inoperable, the procedure for transferring the control activates the device with the local broadcasting devices based on data backed up by the main controller. This paper proposes an improved method of the conventional emergency broadcasting device duplication method. The existing method could not use the standby equipment in the normal state, but in the proposed method, the standby equipment can be used as local broadcasting equipment in usually. This method enables stable system operation while minimizing resource waste due to redundant configuration of expensive devices.

  • A Mobile manipulator - a serial connection of a mobile robot and a task robot - is a very useful system to achieve various tasks in dangerous environment. because it has the higher performance than a fixed base manipulator in regard to the size of it's operational workspace. Unfortunately the use of a mobile robot introduces non-holonomic constraints, and the combination of a mobile robot and a manipulator generally introduces kinematic redundancy. In this paper, first a method for estimating the position of object at the cartesian coordinate system acquired by using the geometrical relationship between the image captured by 2-DOF active camera mounted on mobile robot and real object is proposed. Second, we propose a method to determine a optimal path between current the position of mobile manipulator whose mobile robot is non-holonomic and the position of object estimated by image information through the global displacement of the system in a symbolic way, using homogenous matrices. Then, we compute the corresponding joint parameters to make the desired displacement coincide with the computed symbolic displacement and object is captured through the control of a manipulator. The effectiveness of proposed method is demonstrated by the simulation and real experiment using the mobile manipulator.

  • In this study, a method for the low-carbon active distribution system (ADS) planning is proposed. It takes into account the impacts of both network capacity and demand correlation to the renewable energy accommodation, and incorporates demand response (DR) as an available resource in the ADS planning. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming model, whereby the optimal allocation of renewable energy sources and the design of DR contract (i.e. payment incentives and default penalties) are determined simultaneously, in order to achieve the minimization of total cost and $CO_2$ emissions subjected to the system constraints. The uncertainties that involved are also considered by using the scenario synthesis method with the improved Taguchi's orthogonal array testing for reducing information redundancy. A novel cuckoo search (CS) is applied for the planning optimization. The case study results confirm the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

  • The mission-critical engagement control computer for air defense has to maintain its operation without any fault for a long mission time. The mission performed by large-scale and complex embedded software is extremely critical in terms of dependability and safety of computer system, and it is very important that engagement control computer has high reliability. The engagement control computer was implemented using four processors. The distributed computer composed of four processors quarantees the dependability and safety, and ASR fault-tolerant technique applied to each processor guarantees the reliability. In this paper, the mechanism and performance of ASR fault-tolerant technique are analysed. And MTBF, reliability, availability, and cost-effectiveness for ASR, DMR and TMR techniques applied to the engagement control computer are analysed. The mission-critical engagement control computer using software-based ASR fault-tolerant technique provides high reliability and fast recovery time at a low cost. The mission reliability of the engagement control computer using ASR technique in 4 processors board is almost same the reliability of the computer using TMR technique in 6 processors board. ASR technique is most suitable to the mission-critical engagement control computer.

  • In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), blanket (area) coverage analysis is generally carried to find the minimum number of active sensor nodes required to cover a monitoring interest area with the desired fractional coverage-threshold. Normally, the coverage analysis is performed using the stochastic geometry as a tool. The major component of such coverage analysis is the assumed sensing model. Hence, the accuracy of such analysis depends on the underlying assumption of the sensing model: how well the assumed sensing model characterizes the real sensing phenomenon. In this paper, we review the coverage analysis for different deterministic and probabilistic sensing models like Boolean and Shadow-fading model; and extend the analysis for Exponential and hybrid Boolean-Exponential model. From the analytical performance comparison, we demonstrate the redundancy (in terms of number of sensors) that could be resulted due to the coverage analysis based on the detection capability mal-characterizing sensing models.

  • HD padding area is essential redundancy in HD broadcasting. It is possible to use this padding area for the purpose of improving DTV broadcasting services. For utilization of this area, The bit of a service data was converted to black and white $8{\times}8$ block image. Converted block images are compressed with active video and are delivered to a receiver as only DC coefficients in a video stream. video quality is not effected by the proposed method, and service data was perfectly recovered in receiver without errors by using block average and threshold. The proposed utilization of HD essential padding area can possibly overcome the limited transmission stream rate with the bandwidth of HD broadcasting. If service data in transport or video stram were transferred using this padding area, it is possible to improve video quality with expanded video stream rate. Additionally, because the proposed methods are based on well-established standards, it is also useful for world-wide HD broadcasting systems such as ATSC, DVB, and IPTV.

  • We propose a multi-resolution motion estimation algorithm using adaptive search region. It is constructed in wavelet domain that a binary plane which represents the potential motion areas(PMA's) based on the temporal redundancy between video frames, and motion estimation is processed in the PMA's. We reduce the PMA's gradually as the resolution level is higher, considering the distribution of the energy in subband layers and the complexity. As compared with EMRME(enhanced multi-resolution motion estimation) method[7], simulation results show that computational amount and bit rate reduced to about 33 ~46 % and 10 ~l8% respectively in active image with similar PSNR, and computational amount reduced to about 37 ~65 % in small notion image with similar PSNR and bit rate.

  • Magnaporthe grisea (Hebert) Barr (anamorph: Pyricularia grisea) is a typical heterothallic Ascomycete and the causal agent of rice blast, one of the most destructive diseases on rice (Oryza sativa L.) worldwide. The interactions between cells of the pathogen and those of the host involve a complex of biological influences which can lead to blast disease. The early stages of infection process in particular may be viewed as a sequence of discrete and critical events. These include conidial attachment, gemination, and the formation of an appressorium, a dome-shaped and melanized infection structure. Disruption of this process at any point will result in failure of the pathogen to colonize host tissues. This may offer a new avenue for developing innovative crop protection strategies. To recognize and capture such opportunities, understanding the very bases of the pathogenesis at the cellular and molecular level is prerequisite. Much has been learned about environmental cues and endogenous signaling systems for the early infection-related morphogenesis in M. grisea during last several years. The study of signal transduction system in phytopathogenic filamentous fungi offers distinct advantages over traditional mammalian systems. Mammalian systems often contain multiple copies of important genes active in the same tissue under the same physiological processes. Functional redundancy, alternate gene splicing, and specilized isoforms make defining the role of any single gene difficult. Fungi and animals are closely related kingdoms [3], so inferences between these organisms are often justified. For many genes, fungi frequently possess only a single copy, thus phenotype can be attributed directly to the mutation or deletion of any particular gene of interest.
