  • This paper proposes an App Visualization (AppV) based on IoT Self-diagnosis Micro Control Unit (ISMCU) for accident prevention. It collects a current status of a vehicle through a sensor, visualizes it on a smart phone and prevents vehicles from accident. The AppV consists of 5 components. First, a Sensor Layer (SL) judges noxious gas from a current vehicle and a driver's driving habit by collecting data from various sensors such as an Accelerator Position Sensor, an O2 sensor, an Oil Pressure Sensor, etc. and computing the concentration of the CO collected by a semiconductor gas sensor. Second, a Wireless Sensor Communication Layer (WSCL) supports Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth protocol so that it may transfer the sensor data collected in the SL to ISMCU and the data in the ISMCU to a Mobile. Third, an ISMCU integrates the transferred sensor information and transfers the integrated result to a Mobile. Fourth, a Mobile App Block Programming Tool (MABPT) is an independent App generation tool that changes to visual data just the vehicle information which drivers want from a smart phone. Fifth, an Embedded Module (EM) records the data collected through a Smart Phone real time in a Cloud Server. Therefore, because the AppV checks a vehicle' fault and bad driving habits that are not known from sensors and performs self-diagnosis through a mobile, it can reduce time and cost spending on accidents caused by a vehicle's fault and noxious gas emitted to the outside.

  • In case of display a lot of information from mobile devices, those systems are being developed that display the information from mobile devices on remote devices such as TV using the mobile devices as remote controllers because it is difficult to display a lot of information on mobile devices due to their limited bandwidth and small screen sizes. A lot of cost is required to design and develop interfaces for these systems corresponding to each of remote display devices. In this paper, a mobile environment based remote display system for displays at real times is proposed for continuous monitoring of status data for unique 'Mote IDs'. Also, remote data are collected and monitored through sensor network devices such as ZigbeX by applying status perception based remote displays at real times through processing ubiquitous computing environment data, and remote display applications at real times are implemented through PDA wireless mobiles. The system proposed in this paper consists of a PDA for remote display and control, mote embedded applications programming for data collections and radio frequency, server modules to analyze and process collected data and virtual prototyping for monitoring and controls by virtual machines. The result of the implementations indicates that this system not only provides a good mobility from a human oriented viewpoint and a good usability of accesses to information but also transmits data efficiently.

  • The home network is the technique to guarantee a safe, economical, socially integrated, and healthy life to the family and it provides domestic safety, instrument control, controllable energy and health monitoring by the connection of the home appliances using wired and wireless networks. A home control system has been developed for managing and controlling home appliances. This paper designs the broadband PLC home controller using broadband PLC technology which can save much cost at a network infrastructure using the existing power line at a home and design the USB home controller using USB technology which is low cost and has many goods with it. And the embedded home server manages those. The CDMA module provides mobile functions to the home control system in this paper. And we choose the OSGi specification which is compatible with other home middleware and can accept various communication techniques of home network

  • This paper proposes a wireless EMG-based human-computer interface (HCI) for persons with disabilities. For the HCI, four interaction commands are defined by combining three elevation motions of shoulders such as left, right and both elevations. The motions are recognized by comparing EMG signals on the Levator scapulae muscles with double thresholds. A real-time EMG processing hardware is implemented for acquiring EMG signals and recognizing the motions. To achieve real-time processing, filters such as high- and low-pass filter and band-pass and -rejection filter, and a full rectifier and a mean absolute value circuit are embedded on a board with a high speed microprocessor. The recognized results are transferred to a wireless client system such as a mobile robot via a Bluetooth module. From experimental results using the implemented real-time EMG processing hardware, the proposed wireless EMG-based HCI is feasible for the disabled.

  • Generally, HDDs are widely used as data storage device in office, home and mobile machineries. So, it is used for various applications or tasks, such as file copy, file download, music and movie play etc., in various environment. In spite of this kind of varieties in tasks and environment in which HDDs perform, most commercial HDDs hardly control its operations adaptively to these varieties. Thus, it is preferred to optimize the performance and energy consumption of HDDs according to the task and/or the environment. So, this paper proposes a new fuzzy inference algorithm which adaptively controls HDDs operations and may also easily be implemented as the firmware of HDDs and run in the restricted environment such as embedded systems.

  • The outlet feeder pipe thinning in a PHWR (Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor) is caused by high pressure steam flow inside the pipe, which is a well known degradation mechanism called FAC (Flow Assisted Corrosion). In order to monitor the degradation, the thickness of the outlet bends closed to the exit of the pressure tube should be measured and analyzed at every official overhaul. This paper develops a mobile feeder pipe inspection robot that can minimize the irradiation dose of human workers by automating the measurement process. The robot can move by itself on the feeder pipe by using an inch worm mechanism, which is constructed by two gripper bodies that can fix the robot body on the pipe, one extendable and contractable actuator, and a rotation actuator connected the two gripper bodies to move forward and backward, and to rotate in the circumferential direction

  • 최근에는 Non-PC 디바이스들을 위한 Embedded OS들이 PCS, PDA, 핸드헬드(Handheld) 컴퓨터, 터미널, 산업용 제어기 및 다른 소형 컴퓨터에서부터 인터넷 TV, 디지털 셋탑 박스, 웹폰, 인터넷 디바이스, 및 Mobile Computing 분야에 이르기까지 다양한 분야에서 그 요구가 급증하고 있다. 현재 이러한 응용들은 사용자의 응답시간이 빠른 표준 API(Application Programming Interface)의 사용을 필요로 한다. Window System의 Application을 개발하기 위해서는 보통 Win32 API를 사용한다. 그런, Win32 API에서 제공하는 자료형과 관련 함수들이 크기가 크고 속도가 느려서 소형의 적은 메모리와 빠른 속도를 필요로 하는 PCS 단말기에는 적합하지가 않다. 따라서 기존의 API의 기능을 충실히 수행하면서 PCS에 최적화된 API에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 PCS 정보단말기용 소형 운영체제에 적합한 API를 GWES(Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem) 모델을 기반으로 설계하였으며 사용자 응답시간 지연을 해결하기 위해서는 Event 처리를 최소화하는 다중 메시지 처리 방식을 개발하였다.

  • Recently, Healthcare system has not been standardized and has been developed as an embedded system lacking interoperability. We are finally going to face such problems as having excessive load in using network caused by the uncontrolled spread of system and un-guaranteed interoperability among the heterogenous systems. We suggest the possibility that OSGi (Open Service Gateway initiative : the international standardization of service middleware) can be accepted as a solution for the above problems.

  • 최근 임베디드 디바이스에 여러 가지 장점을 제공하는 자바기술은 필수적인 요소가 되었다. 임베디드 디바이스에 적용되는 자바기술은 J2ME 플랫폼이며, 이는 K 가상 머신(K Virtual Machine)의 핵심인 CLDC(Connected Limited Device Configuration)와 그래픽 유저 인터페이스, 네트워크 API, 사운드 API 등을 명세하고 있는 MIDP(Mobile Information Device Profile)로 구성되어 있다. 이 중 그래픽 유저 인터페이스와 네트워크, 사운드 부분은 구현 시 시스템에 의존적인 부분을 따로 구현해야 하는데, 이는 네이티브(native)함수로 구현할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 J2ME 플랫폼에서 정의된 사운드 API 의 기능들을 분석하여 임베디드 시스템에 적합한 사운드 API 의 네이티브 함수를 구현하였다.
