This paper presents a novel data transmit method using display units of mobile devices. Mobile devices such as personal-digital-assistants (PDAs) and cellular phones have a display unit. The typical display unit is a liquid-crystal-display (LCD) with an back-light. Since the proposed data transmit method uses the LCD or back-light as a data transmitter, it is a kind of sightable light communication. Tn order to transmit the data, the display unit drived by an application program on the platform of mobile devices. In this paper, detailed data transmit scheme, specific data protocol are presented and discussed. Finally, with the experimental results, usefulness of the proposed data transmit method is verified.

Mobile devices is getting to include more functions according to the demand of digital convergence. Applications based on 3D graphic calculation such as 3D games and navigation are one of the functions. 3D graphic calculation requires heavy calculation. Therefore, we need dedicated 3D graphic hardware unit with high performance. 3D graphic calculation needs a lot of complicated floating-point arithmetic operation. However, most of current mobile 3D graphics processors do not have efficient architecture for mobile devices because they are based on those for conventional computer systems. In this paper, we propose arithmetic units for special functions of lighting operation of 3D graphics. Transcendental arithmetic units are designed using approximation of logarithm function. Special function units for lighting operation such as reciprocal, square root, reciprocal of square root, and power can be obtained. The proposed arithmetic unit has lower error rate and smaller silicon area than conventional arithmetic architecture.

In this study, we developed five mobile units and an integrated system which can manage vital signs from each unit using Bluetooth wireless communication. The five kinds of mobile unit were so designed that each has different function to be applied according to the condition of patient properly. The mobile units can measure ECG signal of single or 12 channel, blood pressure, pulse and SpO2 signal from a patient. Also, to reduce the uncomfortable measurement, several types of units such as belt type, wrist type and necklace type were designed. Our proposed system can integrate and monitor several biological signals from different patient by using Bluetooth wireless communication simultaneously. The developed system was evaluated in the simulated emergent situation and showed the system can monitor 5 patients in maximum according to the data quality. It showed the possibilities that the developed system can be used effectively for emergency situation or in- or out-hospital transport of patient. In future, with the combination of mobile communication technique, a patient who is in emergency situation can be provided with proper first-aid and a doctor can pile information of patient and give better diagnosis and treatments.

In this paper power system and drive-train for omni-directional autonomous mobile robots with multiple energy storage units are presented. Because in proposed system, which is implemented in soccer robots, the ability of power flow control from of multiple separated energy storage units and speed control for each motor are combined, these robots can be derived by more than one power source. This capability, allow robot to diversify its energy source by employing hybrid power sources. In this research Lithium ion polymer batteries have been used for main and auxiliary energy storage units because of their high power and energy densities. And to protect them against deep discharge, over current and short circuit, a protection circuit was designed. The other parts of our robot power system are DC-DC converters and kicker circuit. The simulation and experimental results show proposed scheme and extracted equations are valid and energy management and speed control can be achieved properly using this method. The filed experiments show robot mobility functions to perform the requested motion is enough and it has a high maneuverability in the field.

언제 어디서나 누구나 사용할 수 있는 서비스를 추구하는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 위치인식 기술을 구현하기 위해 RFID기술이 핵심기술로 주목 받고 있다. 특히 위치정보서비스를 위한 RFID 시스템 기반의 RTLS에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 RFID 시스템을 활용한속도 계측 시스템의 활용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 RFID 시스템 기반의 RTLS를 구성하였다. RFID 시스템을 이용하여 이동체의 속도 정보를 획득한 후, 이를 DGPS를 이용하여 획득한 데이터와 비교 분석함으로써 정확도 평가를 수행하였다. 정확도 평가결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 RFID 시스템을 활용한 이동체의 속도탐지 기술은 저속도를 가진 이동체의 속도정보 획득에 있어서는 활용가능성을 확인할 수 있었으나, 고속도의 이동체 속도 정보 획득을 위해서는 RFID 기술 개발이 더 필요하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후, RFID 시스템의 인프라가 구축되면 FFID시스템과 RTLS를 접목시킨 속도 정보 획득 시스템의 활용이 보다 활성화 될 것으로 기대된다.

The trend of compact size, light weight, low power consumption in the portable telecommunication equipments demands large scale integration and low voltage operation of chips and the minimization of the number of the components in the telecommunication terminal. According to the trend, existing chip components are modulized and are integrated as a part into a bigger chip. This paper is about the development of the peripheral units of micro-controller for mobile telecommunication terminal. Peripherals consist of DMA controller, Interrupt controller, timer, watchdog timer, clock generator, and power management unit. They are designed to be integrated with EU(Execution Unit) and BIU(Bus Interface Unit) into a 16 bit micro-controller which will be used as a core of an ASIC for next generation digital mobile telecommunication terminal. At first, whole block of the micro-controller was described by VHDL behavioral model and simulated to verify its overall operation. Then, watchdog timer, clock generator and power management unit were directly synthesized by using VHDL synthesis tool. Rest of the pheriperal units were designed and simulated by using Compass Design Tool.

Reactor vessel is one of the most important equipment of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) with regard to the nuclear safety. Thus reactor vessel must be examined periodically by certified experts. Currently, ultra-sonic(UT) non-destructive inspection is executed on reactor vessel. Two different techniques are used in this inspection. One is using the movable manipulator fixed with the support-guide placed on the vessel, and the other is using mobile robot moving in the vessel. Movable manipulator machine is very heavy, hard to handle, and very expensive. Mobile robot equipment is small and convenient but has a weak point on positional precision. To solve these problems we developed a reactor inspection system based on laser-driven mobile robot. This paper describes the main concept and structure of integrated inspection units and the feature of implemented units.

In recent years, miniaturization has become the key factor in the development of mobile communication system. Portable communications and computing devices suffer from two conflicting requirements which are device size to be as small as possible and large, high resolution display. These problems can be solved by virtual display. Any display in which the user views an image through an optical system is a virtual display. It provides a display which is high resolution, appears large to the viewer and at the same time occupies little physical space. In this study, handhold units of mobile communication was investigated through use of the SLA(Scanned Linear Array). The basic SLA mechanism comprises a linear array of LED's, a magnifying lens, and a scan mirror. To optimize virtual image, we investigated optical system design and operating condition for each part.

모바일 CPU의 성능이 향상됨에 따라 전용 하드웨어의 필요성이 줄어 들고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 모바일 CPU의 성능은 한계가 있다. 이러한 제약 조건을 병렬처리와 실수 연산이 뛰어난 GP-GPU(General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units)를 이용함으로써 다른 전용 하드웨어의 추가 없이 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 환경에 적합하게 설계된 GP-GPU를 이용하여 H.264 디코더의 Inverse Quantization, Inverse DCT, Color Space Conversion 모듈을 구현하였다. G-PGPU를 이용한 전체 시스템 동작 시 40%의 성능 향상이 있었다.
