The sensor network that may be deemed to fall in the field of ubiquitous computing performs the basic function of transmitting sensing data through the autonomous sensing and the Ad hoc network. In order to collect and treat various sensing data at the time of application and manage extremely limited system resources, the sensor network requires the embedded operating system that uses low power, a small cord size and the least hardware resources. In this paper, The operating system having a new structure for constructing the IEEE 802. 15.4 MAC and Zigbee sensor network is suggested and can be formed by reviewing the characteristics and the core structural requirements of the operating system for the sensor network based on operating systems, which have been formed under existing similar conditions, and applying such features and core structural requirements to the design of the operating system for achieving the features and the requirements.

Solar electric systems have very little impact on environment, making them one of the cleanest power-generating technologies available. While they are operating, PV systems produce no air pollution, hazardous waste, or noise, and they require no transportable fuels. In PV system design, the selection and proper installation of appropriately-sized components directly affect system reliability, lifetime, and initial cost. In this research, we have studied the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) signals. I proposed an efficient photovoltaic power interface circuit incorporated with a DC-DC converter and a sine-pwm control method full-bridge inverter. In grid-connected solar power systems, the DC-DC converter operates at high switching frequency to make the output current a sine wave, whereas the full-bridge inverter operates at low switching frequency which is determined by the ac frequency. Thus, it can reduce the switching losses incurred by the full-bridge inverter. Full-bridge converter is controlled by using microprocessor control method, and its operation is verified through computer aided simulations.

최근 들어 이동형 장치 및 휴대형 장치 같은 소형 임베디드 장치들이 빠르게 확산되고 있다. 이들 장치의 응용 프로그램들은 점차적으로 복잡하게 되어 그 처리 능력이 증대되었으며, 그에 따라 배터리 수명이 장치 사용에 있어 가장 심각한 제약사항이 되고 있다. 그래서 전력 소모를 줄이는 방법이 많이 연구되고 있으며, 전력 소모 감소 기능 (저전력)이 지원되는 하드웨어, 소프트웨어가 탑재된 제품들도 생산되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 임베디드 자바플랫폼인 J2ME 에 저전력 기법을 적용하기 위해 IBM과 MontaVista Software에서 제안한 동적 전원 관리(Dynamic Power Management : DPM) 기법을 탑재한 실시간 운영체제 UbiFOSTM 를 기반으로 저전력 자바 API 를 제안하고, 실험을 통해 30% 정도의 전력 감축이 됨을 보인다.

대부분의 전력 관리 기법에 대한 연구는 동작 주파수나 동작 전압을 변화 시켜 시스템의 가용성을 증가시키는데 집중되었다. 이 방법은 전력소모를 줄이기 위해 구동 주파수를 수시로 변경하므로 실 시스템의 성능을 저하 시킨다. 소비 전력을 줄이기 위한 다른 방법은 구동 주파수의 개수를 제한하거나 실행 시간 동안 전체 주파수를 완만하게 관리하여 시스템의 성능을 높이는 것이다. 허나 기존 연구는 실시간 응용 프로그램에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 시스템에서 소비 전력의 손실을 줄이고 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 구동 주파수 레벨의 할당 방법과 주파수 평활화 기법을 이용한 전력 관리 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 연속적인 주파수 간격에서 알고리즘이 예측한 주파수를 양자화된 주파수로 매핑한다. 이러한 주파수 평활화 기법은 좁은 주파수 대역에서 잦은 주파수 변경으로 발생한 시스템의 오버헤드를 줄일 수 있다. 매핑된 주파수는 넓은 주파수 간격에서 주파수 불일치로 발생하는 전력소모를 줄일 수 있다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘이 기존의 CC RT-DVS 기법에 비해 최대 40%, 평균 15% 정도 소비 전력을 줄일 수 있었다.

Hybrid electric propulsion systems (H-EPSs) are an intermediate step for integrated full electric propulsion warships. H-EPSs are a dynamic combination of mechanical and electrical propulsion systems to achieve the required mission performances. The system modes could adapt to meet the requirement of the various operation conditions of a warship. This paper presents a configuration and operating modes of H-EPSs considering the operation conditions of a destroyer class warship. The system has three propulsion modes, namely, motoring mode, generating mode [power take off (PTO) mode], and mechanical mode. The PTO mode requires a careful fuel efficiency analysis because the fuel consumption rate of propulsion engines may be low compared with the generator's engines depending on the loading power. Therefore, the calculation of fuel consumption according to the operating modes is performed in this study. Although the economics of the PTO mode depends on system cases, it has an advantage in that it ensures the reliability of electric power in case of blackout or minimum generator operation.

In this study, we present a power-efficient driving method for gas sensor systems based on the analysis of input signal characteristics. The analysis of the gas sensor output signal characteristics in the frequency domain shows that most of the signal portions are distributed in a relatively low frequency region when extracting the gas sensor signal, which can lead to further performance improvement of the gas sensor system. Therefore, the proposed gas signal extracting technique changes the operating frequency of the read-out circuit based on the frequency characteristics of the output signal of the gas sensor, resulting in a reduction of power consumption at the whole system level. The proposed sensing technique, which can be applied to a general-purpose commercial gas sensor system, was implemented in a printed circuit board (PCB) to verify its effectiveness at the commercial level.

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.

This paper presents a Processing Engine (PE) which is used in Low Density Parity Codec (LDPC) application with a novel charge-recovery logic called pseudo-NMOS boost logic (pNBL), to achieve high-speed and low power dissipation. pNBL is a high-overdriven and low area consuming charge recovery logic, which belongs to boost logic family. Proposed Processing Engine is used in LDPC circuit to reduce operating power dissipation and increase the processing speed. To demonstrate the performance of proposed PE, a test chip is designed and fabricated with 0.18 2m CMOS technology. Simulation results indicate that proposed PE with pNBL dissipates only 1 pJ/cycle when working at the frequency of 403 MHz, which is only 36% of PE with the conventional static CMOS gates. The measurement results show that the test chip can work as high as 609 MHz with the energy dissipation of 2.1 pJ/cycle.

This paper presents an innovative design for a low-speed, direct-drive, axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) generator with a coreless stator and rotor that is intended for application to small wind turbine power generation systems. The performance of the generator is evaluated and optimized by means of comprehensive 3D electromagnetic finite element analysis. The main focus of this study is to improve the power output and efficiency of wind power generation by investigating the electromagnetic and structural features of a coreless AFPM generator. The design is validated by comparing the performance achieved with a prototype. The results of our comparison demonstrate that the proposed generator has a number of advantages such as a simpler structure, higher efficiency over a wide range of operating speeds, higher energy yield, lighter weight and better power utilization than conventional machines. It would be possible to manufacture low-cost, axial-flux permanent-magnet generators by further developing the proposed design.
