Coupled structures are widely seen in civil and mechanical engineering. In coupled structures, monitoring the translational motion of its key components is of great importance. For instance, some coupled arms are equipped with a hydraulic piston to provide the stiffness along the piston axial direction. The piston moves back and forth and a distance sensing system is necessary to make sure that the piston is within its stroke limit. The measured motion data also give us insight into how the coupled structure works and provides information for the design optimization. This paper develops two distance sensing systems for coupled structures. The first system measures distance with ultrasonic sensor. It consists of an ultrasonic sensing module, an Arduino interface board and a control computer. The system is then further upgraded to a three-sensor version, which can measure three different sets of distance data at the same time. The three modules are synchronized by the Arduino interface board as well as the self-developed software. Each ultrasonic sensor transmits high frequency ultrasonic waves from its transmitting unit and evaluates the echo received back by the receiving unit. From the measured time interval between sending the signal and receiving the echo, the distance to an object is determined. The second distance sensing system consists of a wire draw encoder, a data collection board and the control computer. Wire draw encoder is an electromechanical device to monitor linear motion by converting a central shaft rotation into electronic pulses of the encoder. Encoder can measure displacement, velocity and acceleration simultaneously and send the measured data to the control computer via the data acquisition board. From experimental results, it is concluded that both the ultrasonic and the wire draw encoder systems can obtain the linear motion of structures in real-time.

RFID-based games, which use a RFID reader and RFID chips, will expand existing computer games, which use a computer screen, a keyboard or a mouse. This paper presents 4 RFID digital board game contents which are conducted by initial developers; the three of them use the screen and control the games with RFID chips and, one is a different attempted game which can exclude the screen and be immersed to the board. While initial developers use object recognition of RFID, we need to develop game contents and game interface which can recognize positions of the objects. According to the initial developer"s developing process, the cooperative system between the game technical developers and the contents developers should be necessary. Also, the interface should be developed for young children to participate and operate.

A main distributing frame(MDF) is an interface unit that is used to connect office equipment cables in a telephone company to subscriber cables. Until now, there is no automated switching system for MDFs in Korea. Manual handling of an MDF has some drawbacks; It is time-consuming, very cumbersome, and expensive. It also makes maintenance hard. An automated main distributing frame system is proposed and commercialized in Japan. In that system, a robot gripper inserts connecting pins into the cross point holes of a matrix board, which reveals several disadvantages in the aspects of space, maintenance, fault tolerance, and economical efficiency. This paper describes a newly developed robotic switch board system for MDFs. In the developed system, switches are placed at the cross point of a matrix board. There is one robot in between two switch units, so one robot deals with two switch units. In the system, positioning the robot, opening and closing switches can be done by using only a pair of motors and a pair of solenoids. The newly developed system is compact in size, reduces cost, and shows high reliability.

In this paper, we propose a small-scale Gigabit VLBI observing system for the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) under construction. The system consists of high-speed sampler, IP-VLBI board, PC-VSI board, and software correlator. Radio signal received by receiver is sampled by high-speed sample. at 1 Gsps (Gigabit sample per second) rate with 2 bits quantization. The digitized signal is recorded in PC and the software correlator does the cross correlation. IP-VLBI board will be used for the geodesy VLBI observation, while PC-VSI board is for the astronomical VLBI observation. The PC-VSI board adopts the VSI-H (VLBI Standard Interface Hardware). The proposed system is based on commercial PCs and therefore can be built inexpensively.

Diverse operating systems and developed platforms of mobile devices are implemented by vendors exist. The software has to be developed by respective environment in designing the user interface of software. For the solution of the inconvenience, this paper proposes an integrated platform 4A DUOS for developing user interface independently. The proposed platform can use web language not dependent on various operating systems, and offer online access to API and component templates to provide the convenience of the user interface design. Also, the server with on board designed user interface implements the service to the user. Therefore, the users can design the independent user interface on various mobile devices by using only one source.

Bulletin board systems have evolved to support diverse multimedia data as well as text. However, current board systems have an weakness : it takes much time and efforts for users to figure out contents of articles. Most board systems provide a searching function with lexical level data access for solving that problem, however it fails to serve users' intented searching results. Moreover, it is nearly impossible to search proper articles if they contain multimedia data. This paper proposed a bulletin board system adopting the Semantic Web to solve this issue. The proposed system provides users with new ontology which is used for describing articles' domain knowledge and multimedia features. Users can describe their own board ontology using the proposed ontology. To support semantic-based searching for diverse domain knowledge without modification of the system, the system dynamically generated input/query interface and RDF data access module according to the board ontology written by administrators. The proposed board system shows that semantic-based searching is feasible and effective for users to find their intended articles.

Hand carried computing machinery and tools have been developed into an embedded system which the small footprint operating system is contained internally. Windows CE which is one of imbedded operating system is a lightweight, multithreaded operating system with an optional graphical user interface. Its strength lies in its small size, its Win32 subset API, and its multiplatform support. Therefore we choose to port this OS on Arm based board that is provided high performance, low cost, and low power consumption. In this paper, we describe the architecture of ARM based board, the feature of Windows CE, techniques and steps involved in this porting process.
