Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness which is caused by increase of fluid pressure in the eye which damages the optic nerve and eventually causing vision loss. An automated technique to diagnose glaucoma disease can reduce the physicians’ effort in screening of Glaucoma in a person through the fundal retinal images. In this paper, optimal hyper analytic wavelet transform for Glaucoma detection technique from fundal retinal images is proposed. The optimal coefficients for transformation process are found out using the hybrid GSO-Cuckoo search algorithm. This technique consists of pre-processing module, optimal transformation module, feature extraction module and classification module. The implementation is carried out with MATLAB and the evaluation metrics employed are accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Comparative analysis is carried out by comparing the hybrid GSO with the conventional GSO. The results reported in our paper show that the proposed technique has performed well and has achieved good evaluation metric values. Two 10- fold cross validated test runs are performed, yielding an average fitness of 91.13% and 96.2% accuracy with CGD-BPN (Conjugate Gradient Descent- Back Propagation Network) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) respectively. The techniques also gives high sensitivity and specificity values. The attained high evaluation metric values show the efficiency of detecting Glaucoma by the proposed technique.

SMART home is one of the most popular applications of Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies, which is expanding in terms of range of applications. SMART home technology provides convenience at home by connecting household appliances to a single network, control, and management. However, many general home appliances do not support the network functions yet; hence, enjoying such convenient technology could be difficult, and it could be expensive in the beginning to build the framework. In addition, even though products with SMART home technologies are purchased, the control systems could differ from device to device. Thus, in this paper, we propose a SMART home framework, called an S-mote that can operate all the IoT functions in a single application by adding an infrared or radio frequency module to general home appliances. The proposed framework is analyzed using four types of performance tests by five evaluators. The results of the experiment show that the SMART home environment was implemented successfully and that it functions appropriately, without any operational issues, with various home appliances, including the latest IoT devices, and even those equipped with an infrared or radio frequency module.

Purpose: This pilot study aimed to clarify features of motor module during walking in exercise experts who experienced lately repeated training for sports skill. To identify motor modules, autoencoder machine learning algorithm was used, and modules were extracted from muscle activities of lower extremities. Research design, data and methodology: A total of 10 university students were participated. 5 students did not experience any sports training before, and 5 students did experience sports training more than 5 years. Eight muscle activities of dominant lower extremity were measured. After modules were extracted by autoencoder, the numbers of modules and spatial muscle weight values were compared between two groups. Results: There was no significant difference in the minimal number of motor modules that explain more than 90% of original data between groups. However, in similarity analysis, three motor modules were shown high similarity (r>0.8) while one module was shown low similarity (r<0.5). Conclusions: This study found not only common motor modules between exercise novice and expert during walking, but also found that a specific motor module, which would be associated with high motor control ability to distinguish the level of motor performance in the field of sports.

It is necessary to construct an effective regional information system in facing the incoming information intensive society. Many local government in Korea began to recognize a need for constructing a GIS(Geographic Information System) and they are planning to construct GIS´s to improve their administrative efficiency. However, ti requires high-priced hardware, software, and an experienced operator to sue a GIS effectively. The purpose of this study is to develop the GIS program which can be sued with ease by common users. By developing a GIS functioned program using a coordinate recognition module by application of geo-spatial data, and a digital map which is already made, this program can be used efficiently only by only inputting attributes without high-priced hardware and software, and can be utilized easily to every purposes of work with geo-spatial data and attributes. MapObjects, mapping and GIS component, was employed to use geo-spatial data, and Access 97 from Microsoft to manage and attributes database. Visual Basic, objected-oriented language, was used to develop an application program. Results of this study were applied to constructing the Information system of Kanwon National University. This program could be used for various purposed by common users without additional hardware and software.

In this paper, the design and fabrication of a transmit/receive(T/R) module for Ka-band phased array radar is presented. A 5bit digital phase shifter and digital attenuator were used in common for both transmitter and receiver considering unique Ka-band characteristic. The circulator was excluded in the T/R module and was placed outside T/R module. The transmitting power per element antenna is designed to be about 1 W and the noise figure is designed to be below 8 dB. The designed T/R module RF part has a compact size of $5\;mm{\times}4\;mm{\times}57\;mm$. In order to implement the T/R module, MMICs used in T/R module was separately assessed before assembly of the designed T/R module. The transmitter of the fabricated T/R module shows about 1 W at 5 dBm unit module input power and the receiver shows a gain of about 20 dB and a noise figure of below 8 dB as expected in the design stage.

This paper presents design and test results of X-Band Transmit/Receive(T/R) module for active phased-array radar. Active phased array radars typically require solid state T/R modules with high output power, low noise figure, high Third Order Intercept(TOI), and sufficient gain in both transmit and receive. The output power of the module is 9 watts over a wide bandwidth. The noise figure is as low as 2.8 dB. Phase and amplitude are controlled by the 6-bit phase shifter and 5-bit attenuator, respectively. Highly integrated T/R module is achieved by using LTCC(Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) multiple layer substrate. The module incorporates a compact digital interface, requires only three supply voltages.

In this paper, we survey the works related to the system architecture of avionics and extract characteristics from the related works. On the basis of the investigation, we propose an integrated modular avionics (IMA) architecture that can be used for current avionic upgrades and future avionic developments based on the IMA Core system. To verify the feasibility of the proposed IMA architecture, we have developed the prototype of the IMA Core system that consists of both the common hardware module and the IMA software. It was verified that the developed prototype with the common hardware module contributes to the improvement of maintainability because it can save the time and expenses for the development and can reduce the number of types of hardware modules when compared with Federated architecture. It was also confirmed that the developed prototype can save not only overall system weight, size, and power consumption but also the number of hardware types because the IMA software can support the integrated processing where the single processing hardware module can process multiple software applications.

Designing a complex system such as an LCD developing system becomes inefficient when many designers are involved and create their own parts even though they can be used repeatedly in other sections. Thus, this paper proposes a new design process that can maximize the number of common parts in complex system design by organizing the 3D design process. The proposed design process consists of 5 stages: analysis of design intention, definition of initial product structure, definition of skeleton model, sharing design intention with all assembles, control of correlation between components. The proposed design process can maximize common parts in design process, which results in shorter lead time, less production cost, and greater economic benefits.
