This paper presents a new concept of a 1-DOF elbow exoskeleton driven by a twisted strings-based actuator. A novel joint actuation mechanism is proposed and its kinematic model is presented along with its experimental evaluation, and guidelines on how to choose the strings suitable for such an exoskeleton are given. We also proposed and experimentally verified a human intention detection method which takes advantage of intrinsic compliance of the mechanism. The study showed that the developed twisted strings-driven elbow exoskeleton is light, compact and have a high payload-to-weight ratio, which suggests that the device can be effectively used in a variety of haptics, teleoperation, and rehabilitation applications.

The mechanism of methane sensing by Pd-SiC diode was investigated over the temperature range of 400~$600^{\circ}C$. The effects or methane gas reaction on the parameters such as barrier height, initial rate of methane gas reaction are investigated. The methane gas reaction kinetics on the device are also discussed. The physical and chemical mechanism responsible for methane detection are proposed. Analysis of steady-state reaction kinetics using I-V method confirmed that methane gas reaction processes are responsible for the barrier height change in the diode.

This paper presents an experimental measurement system for 3-6 GHz microwave tomography (MT) of the breast. The measurement system is constructed as a minimal test bed to verify key components such as the sensing antennas, radio frequency (RF) transceiver, sensing mechanism, and image reconstruction method for our advanced MT system detecting breast cancer at an early stage. The test bed has eight RF channels operating at 3 to 6 GHz for high spatial resolution and a two-axis scanning mechanism for three-dimensional measurement. The measurement results from the test bed are shown and discussed.

In this research, a riding robot system named as "RideBot" is developed for health-care and entertainments. The developed riding robot can follow the intention of horseman and can simulate the motion of horse. The riding robot mechanisms are used for many functions of attitude detection, motion sensing, recognition, common interface and motion-generations. This riding robot can react on health conditions, bio-signals and intention informations of user. One of the objectives of this research is that the riding robot could catch user motion and operate spontaneous movements. In this paper, we develope the saddle mechanism which can generate 3 degrees-of-freedom riding motion based on the intention of horseman. Also, we develope reins and spur mechanism for the recognition of the horseman's intention estimation and the bio-signal monitoring system for the health care function of a horseman. In order to evaluate the performance of the riding robot system, we tested several riding motions including slow and normal step motion, left and right turn motion.

Denial of Service (DoS) attack is to interfere the normal user from using the information technology services. With a rapid technology improvements in computer and internet environment, small sized DoS attacks targeted to server or network infrastructure have been disabled. Thus, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that utilizes from tens to several thousands of distributed computers as zombie PC appear to have as one of the most challenging threat. In this paper, we categorize the DDoS attacks and classify existing countermeasures based on where and when they prevent, detect, and respond to the DDoS attacks. Then we propose a comprehensive defense mechanism against DDoS attacks in Control System to detect attacks efficiently.

As the Distributed Denial of Service attack technique is getting smarter, defense method have been developed by various means. Existing defense method baseds on detection technique is not effective to DDoS attack. Because it depend on rule set that is used to detect attack and DDoS attack pattern has become very similar to real traffic pattern. So the rule set is not efficient method to find DDoS attack. To solve this problem, DDoS defense mechanism based on QoS technique has been suggested. In this paper, we summarize existing DDoS defense mechanism and focus on method based on QoS, and introduce a new DDoS defense framework.

Workers maintaining at the railroad trackside may collide with the train since they cannot recognize the train approaching because of the sensory block phenomenon occurred due to their long hours of continued monotonous maintenance work. To reduce these casualty accidents of maintenance workers working at the trackside of railroad, we developed the wireless communication-based safety equipment for preventing accidents. The motor-cars for maintaining trackside facility have unique operational patterns suitable for urban environment. The several mechanism for developed safety equipment are represented in this paper.

In order to meet various requirements for transmission quality of both primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs) in cognitive radio networks, we introduce a channel bonding mechanism for PUs and a channel reservation mechanism for SUs, then we propose a novel spectrum allocation strategy. Taking into account the mistake detection and false alarm due to imperfect channel sensing, we establish a three-dimensional Markov chain to model the stochastic process of the proposed strategy. Using the method of matrix geometric solution, we derive the performance measures in terms of interference rate of PU packets, average delay and throughput of SU packets. Moreover, we investigate the influence of the number of the reserved (resp. licensed) channels on the system performance with numerical experiments. Finally, to optimize the proposed strategy socially, we provide a charging policy for SU packets.

In recent years, domestic and international interests focus on climate change, and importance of forest as carbon sink have been also increased. Particularly REDD+ mechanism expanded from REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) is expected to perform a new mechanism for reducing greenhouse gas in post 2012. To conduct this mechanism, countries which try to get a carbon credit have to certify effectiveness of their activities by MRV (Measuring, Reporting and Verification) system. This study analyzed the approaches for detecting land cover change and estimating carbon stock by remote sensing technology which is considered as the effective method to develop MRV system. The most appropriate remote sensing for detection of land cover change is optical medium resolution sensors and satellite SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) according to cost efficiency and uncertainty assessment. In case of estimating carbon stock, integration of low uncertainty techniques, airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), SAR, and cost efficient techniques, optical medium resolution sensors and satellite SAR, could be more appropriate. However, due to absence of certificate authority, guideline, and standard of uncertainty, we should pay continuously our attention on international information flow and establish appropriate methods. Moreover, to apply monitoring system to developing countries, close collaboration and monitoring method reflected characteristics of each countries should be considered.
