This paper presents the flexible MEMS transmitter based on flexible printed circuit board or FPCB, which can be transformed to arbitrary shape. The FPCB is suitable to fabricate light weight and small size modules with the help of its thin thickness. Moreover a module based on FPCB can be attached on the arbitrary curved surface due to its flexible enough to be lolled up like paper. In this paper, the flexible MEMS transmitter integrated on FPCB for a short-distance sensor network which is based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) communication system is proposed. The active device of the proposed flexible MEMS transmitter is fabricated on InGaP/GaAs HBT process which has been used for power amplifier design to take advantages of high linear and high efficient characteristics. Moreover, the passive devices such as the filter and signal lines are integrated and fabricated on the FPCB board. The performance of the fabricated flexible MEMS transmitter is analyzed with EVM characteristics of the output signal.

In this paper, we present a patient real-time vital sign information transmission system to effectively support developing real-time communication service by using a real-time object model named TMO (Time-Triggered Message-Triggered Object). Also, we describe the application environment as the ICU(Intensive Care Unit) to guarantee real-time service message with TMO structure in distributed network systems. We have to design to obtain useful vital sign information, which is generated at parsing data receiver modulor of HIS with TMO structure, that is offered by the central monitor. Vital sign informations of central monitor is composed of the raw data of several bedsite patient monitors. We are willing to maintain vital sign information of real time and continuity that is generated from the bedsite patient monitor. It is able to apply to remote medical examination and treatment. we proposed integration method between a vital sign database systems and hospital information systems. In the real time simulation techniques based on TMO object modeling, We have observed several advantages to the TMO structuring scheme. TMO object modeling has a strong traceability between requirement specification and design.

Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) is the emerging personal transport vehicle operating on the loop automatically. The PRT system utilize the electrical power from super capacity or battery, it is important to manage the power or energy. In this regards, the management of high temperature occurred by the operation of system is significantly important to prevent from serious damage of component. In this study, we studied the adequate shape of underbody which can reduce the heat accumulation by pickup coil and condenser using natural air cooling. We suggested the additional air pathway, air inlet and flow separator to decrease the temperature of the heat source components. It was found that suggested system can decrease the temperature of PRT under body by 16% during the static mode and by 10% during the running mode at 30km/h. It is expected that the findings of this study will feed into final design of newly built Korean PRT vehicle.

With technological advances for storage volume size of a semiconductor memory, USB storage is made as products to support a high capacity storage. Hereby, consumers discard pint-sized USB storages which they already had, or do not use them efficiently. To integrate and unify these pint-sized USB storages as one big USB storage, we proposed Sigma Hub. It can be grouping multiple USB storages, which have each different volume size of memory storage, as logical unity Storage through USB Hub. The proposed Sigma Hub includes Sigma Controller as a core management module to unify the multiple USB storages in transaction level layer. Sigma controller can efficiently control transaction packet in Sigma Hub through a USB Storage-Integration algorithms which ensure an integrity for data read and write processes. Consequently, Sigma Hub enables the use of USB storage that is logical unity.

We developed embedded inductors in MCM-D substrate for RF applications. The increasing demand for high density packaging was the driving forces to the development of MCM-D technology. Most of these development efforts have been focused on high performance digital circuits. However, recently there is a great need fur mixed mode circuits with a combination of digital, analog and microwave devices. Mixed mode modules often have a large number of passive components that are connected to a small number of active devices. Integration of passive components into the high density MCM substrate becomes desirable to further reduce cost, size, and weight of electronic systems while improving their performance and reliability. The proposed MCM-D substrate was based on Cu/photosensitive BCB multilayer and Ti/Cu is used to form the interconnect layer. Seed metal was formed with 1000 $\AA$ Ti/3000 $\AA$ Cu by sputtering method and main metal was formed with 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ Cu by electrical plating method. The multi-turn sprial inductors were designed in coplanar fashion. This paper describe the manufacturing process of integrated inductors in MCM-D substrate and the results of electrical performance test.

There are some difficulties to construct a sensory-motor controller for an autonomous mobile robot such as coordinating the mechanics and control system parts of the robot, and managing interaction with external environments. In previous research, we evolve the CAM-Brain, neural networks based on cellular automata, to control an autonomous mobile robot. In this paper, we propose the method of combining multi-modules evolved to do simple behavior in order to making more sophisticated behaviors because the controller composed of one neural network module is difficult to make complex behaviors. In experimental results, we can get the controller adapting to more complex environments by combining CAM-Brain modules evolved to do simple behavior by rule-based approach.

The advancements in technology which have lead to higher and higher levels of integration have required advancements in the methods used in designing VLSI chip. A key to enable a complicated chip design is the use of hierarchy in the design process. Hierarchy organizes the function of a large number of transistors ito a particular, easy-to-manage function. For these reasons, hierarchy has been used in the design process of digital functions for many years. However, there exists differences in a design analysis phase, especially in timing analysis, due to multiple views for the same design. In timing analysis of the hierarchical design, every path is analyzed within partitioned modules independently and the global timing analysis is applied to the whole design considering each module as a single timing component. Therefore, timing results of the hierarchical design could not be same as those of non-hierarchical flat design. In this paper, we formulate the timing problem in the hierarchical design and analyze the possible source of timing differences. We define a new terminology of "consistent result" between different views for the same design. We also propose a new partitioning algorithm to obtain the consistent results. This algorithm helps to enhance the design cycle time.
