The traditional medical equipments are devices used by medical professionals but not used in public environment. Common people, however, require light-weight medical devices to make healthcare for themselves nowadays. Those medical devices are used to monitor personal health status such as blood pulse, blood pressure, diabetes. Also, some of them are operated in mobile environment called u-healthcare. This paper implements a portable healthcare system composed of $SpO_2$(Saturation of Partial Pressure Oxygen) sensors and a gateway for detecting hypoxemia during people's leasure activity such as climbing or hiking. The $SpO_2$ sensor is designed as watch style to support dynamic exercise and the gateway is designed as necklace style to support the elderly. The result of a performance evaluation shows that the performance of the $SpO_2$ sensor using reflection technology is not lower than that of a clairvoyant styled $SpO_2$ sensor.

Middleware enables different networking devices and protocols to inter-operate in ubiquitous home network environments. The UPnP(Universal Plug and Play) middleware, which runs on a PC and is based on the IPv4 protocol, has attracted much interest in the field of home network research since it has versatility. The UPnP, however, cannot be easily accessed via the public Internet since the UPnP devices that provide services and the Control Points that control the devices are configured with non-routable local private or Auto IP networks. The critical question is how to access UPnP network via the public Internet. The purpose of this study is to deal with the non-routability problem in local private and Auto IP networks by improving the conventional Control Point used in UPnP middleware-based home networks. For this purpose, this paper proposes an improved Control Point for accessing and controlling the home network from remote sites via the public Internet, by adding a web server to the conventional Control Point. The improved Control Point is implemented in an embedded GNU/Linux system running on an ARM9 platform.

A user desktop service can be made available on internet or local area network with the help of virtualization and cloud technologies. The service is usually called a virtual desktop or a desktop cloud. However, a user interface is limited to I/O capabilities of a user's mobile terminal. In order to enhance a user interface on a remote virtual desktop, it is important to connect full-featured I/O devices which are founded locally. Our previous work called SoD (System-on- Demand) has proposed a technique to associate local full-featured I/O devices with a remote virtual desktop in Xen. On the technique, it is required to install a SoD client agent in a user's mobile terminal for connecting a remote virtual desktop. In this paper, we propose a new framework called Web-SoD that does not require any explicit installation to make SoD service available. The SoD client agent is provided by the web technology so that the agent can be installed transparently, and the platform independency is also achieved. Due to insufficient network socket performance of current web technologies, we extend Native Client (NaCl) proposed by Google to support a network functionality by modifying a NaCl library and a service runtime. With conducted experiment, we show that the network extension supports a full socket functionality over the compromised overhead on the web environment.

In an Internet of Things (IoT)-configured system, each device executes on-chip software. Recent IoT devices require fast execution time of complex services, such as analyzing a large amount of data, while maintaining low-power computation. As service complexity increases, the service requires high-performance computing and more space for embedded space. However, the low performance of IoT edge devices and their small memory size can hinder the complex and diverse operations of IoT services. In this paper, we propose a remote on-demand software code execution unit using the cloudification of on-chip code memory to accelerate the program execution of an IoT edge device with a low-performance processor. We propose a simulation approach to distribute remote code executed on the server side and on the edge side according to the program's computational and communicational needs. Our on-demand remote code execution unit simulation platform, which includes an instruction set simulator based on 16-bit ARM Thumb instruction set architecture, successfully emulates the architectural behavior of on-chip flash memory, enabling embedded devices to accelerate and execute software using remote execution code in the IoT environment.

IoT 기기가 대중들에게 보급화 됨에 따라서 임베디드 시스템의 성능뿐만 아니라 소모하는 에너지에 관한 문제가 중요하게 대두되고 있다. 이는 특히 휴대용 임베디드 기기에서 더 중요한데, 휴대용 임베디드 기기들은 각 디바이스들이 가지고 있는 배터리를 통하여 전원을 얻기 때문에 얼마나 효율적으로 잘 사용하는지가 곧 시스템의 사용시간으로 귀결되기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 임베디드 리눅스 시스템에서의 에너지 소모량을 줄이기 위하여 디바이스의 frequency를 조절해주는 주파수 변경 프레임 워크를 통하여 최고의 에너지 효율을 갖는 메모리 frequency를 찾고, 메모리 총 사용량을 통한 새로운 디바이스 주파수 변경 기법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제안하는 정책은 이전의 정책과 비교하여 최악의 경우에도 나쁜 에너지 효율을 보이지 않으며 최대 18%의 에너지 감소율을 보였다.

In this paper, PCB embedded balanced-to-unbalamced duplexer using coupled LC resonator was introduced for low cost dualband WiMax front-end-module application. In order to obtain the function of bandpass filter and balun transformer, proposed duplexer was configured by using magnetically coupled LC resonator. Out-of-band suppression was enhanced by applying two m-Derived transform circuits to obtain transmission zeros at 2GHz and 4.8GHz. In order to reduce the size of embedded duplexer, BaSrTiO3 (BST) composite high Dk RCC film was applied to improve the capacitance density. This high Dk film provided the capacitance density of 12.2 pF/mm2. The simulation results shows that fabricated duplexer had an insertion loss of 2.9dB and 5.5dB and return loss of 15dB and 16dB for 2.5GHz~2.6GHz and 3.5GHz~3.6GHz, respectively. The maximum magnitude and phase imbalance were 0.01dB and 0.17dB, and 1degree and 2degree in its passband, respectively. The out-of-band suppression was observed approximately 29dB and 40dB below 1.9GHz and over 4.5GHz, respectively. It has a volume of 6 mm $\times$ 7 mm $\times$ 0.7 mm (height).

임베디드 센서는 낮은 전력량과 신호의 세기로 장애물이나 거리와 같은 공간 환경에 많은 영향을 받으며, 이러한 원인들로 인해 임베디드 센서에서는 노이즈 데이터가 빈번히 발생한다. 임베디드 센서에서 획득하는 정보는 시계열 데이터로 존재하기 때문에 지속적으로 발생하는 시계열 정보에 대한 오류 검출을 실시간적으로 수행하기는 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 임베디드 장치의 물리적 특성을 고려하여 실시간적으로 발생하는 임베디드 센서의 오류 신호를 검출하는 시계열 예측 기반 오류 검출 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시계열 예측 기반 오류 검출 기법은 안정 구간 함수를이용하여 현재 발생하는 임베디드장치 신호의 오류를 판단한다. 안정 구간 함수는 임베디드장치 신호를 관측하여 오류 검출을 수행할 때 최근의 신호들에 오류 가중화를 적용함으로써 효과적으로 오류 신호를 탐지할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기법을 Intel Lab 신호를 이용하여 실험하였으며, 실험에서 본 논문에서 제안한 기법은 중심이동평균 기법에 비해 26.25%의 정확도 향상을 나타내었다.
