Electromagnetic induction surveys are one of the useful methods to detect the location and buried depth of underground utilities by measuring horizontal and vertical magnetic fields. It can effectively detects single buried utility with the accuracy of within 20 cm. However when another utility is buried near to target one, the accuracy of utility location considerably decreases due to the distortion of magnetic fields caused from adjacent utility. This study shows the ways to verify the location and buried depth of target utility when magnetic fields does not show symmetric distribution due to adjacent another utility. Using Bluetooth wireless communication tools, we developed the way to records measured magnetic fields to handheld PDA. We investigated the criteria for minimum distance of two adjacent utilities to separate the individual responses through field model test.

Recently, smart devices for various services have been developed using converged telecommunications, and the markets for near field communication (NFC) mobile services is expected to grow rapidly. In particular, the realization of mobile NFC payment services is expected to go commercial, and it is widely attracting attention both on a domestic and global level. However, this realization would increase privacy infringement, as personal information is extensively used in the NFC technology. One example of such privacy infringement would be the case of the Google wallet service. In this paper, we propose an mutual authentication scheme based on NTRU for secure channel in OTA and an zero-knowledge proof scheme NTRU based on for protecting user information in NFC mobile payment systems without directly using private financial information of the user.

When IoT is applied to various research experiment fields such as physics, pharmacy, biology and medicine, it can increase the safety and convenience of researchers by intelligently monitoring and controlling research equipment and environment with various sensors and devices. For accurate and convenient record management and the research history and the basis but also for the reverse tracking, real-time reagent measurement and registration should be provided as a research support automation services. Currently, existing methods of reagent management are operated by computerized method, but reagent registration and management are not automated. And also record is managed manually, there are many hassles and problems such as a record error and too much time required for quantification and registration for many reagents. In this paper, we study a real time reagent measuring and registration method based on IoT to resolve the problems aforementioned, by the information of the reagent acquired by image recognition and NFC method.

New-born babies who require special attention medically are admitted often to incubator. Incubators are well equipped to fulfill take care of infants, but they have to hospital and so expensive. This paper proposes a smart incubator that can solve the problem of convenience and cost aspect of these incubators. Developed incubator enables near-field monitoring using Arduino Uno as the main control device and Bluetooth communication. The environment in the incubator measures temperature and humidity using a DHT22 sensor and the sound using a P5510 microphone. If the temperature and humidity data set by the user are lower or higher than the reference value, it is designed to operate the heating pad using the controller or turn on the fan to allow air circulation. The measured values in the incubator are displayed in real time on the user's smartphone monitoring screen and are programmed using app inventor. Developed incubators can help take care of infants at low cost in the home.

This paper dedcribes the design. verification, and analysis techniques for an advanced phased array antenna. When applying an active phased array antenna to an aircraft or missile, miniaturization of the array antenna and wide-angle beam steering characteristics can be unavoidable antenna design considerations. In particular, the active reflection coefficient characteristics when electronically steering a wide-angle beam is a design parameter that must be minimized in terms of system survival and system performance. As a radiator suitable for broadband characteristics and wide-angle beam steering, this paper designed an array structure using SFN and minimized the active reflection coefficient according to beam steering of up to 40° based on the spherical coordivate system angle. The bandwidth of the radiator was confirmed to be 3GHz based on active reflection in the Ka-band. In addition, the performance of the actually manufactured 8by8 array antenna wsa analyzed by measuring the single pattern of the radiator through a near-field test, mathematically synthesizing it, and predicting the Tx/TRx beam used in the seeker system.

In this study, the investigation results of conducted and radiated emission for DC/DC converter circuit applied in electric vehicles are presented. A frequency spreading circuit was used to improve the EMI characteristics of a power converter designed by using MPQ4433 chip. The frequency spreading circuit using a TLV3201 chip was designed and applied to the power converter. A PCB was fabricated based on the EMI minimization procedures and simulated and measured results were presented for the far-field and near-field conducted and radiated emissions using the fabricated circuit. The measurement were done as CISPR 25 standardized test procedures. It is clearly showed that the EMI characteristics were improved 20% in case frequency spreading was applied. The EMI reduction technique using the frequency spreading proposed in this study was first applied to the design of power converter module for automobile. It is expected that the method presented here can be effectively used for EMI improvement in the future.

Intercellular nutrient and signal transduction are essential to sustaining multicellular organisms and maximizing the benefits of multicellularity. It has long been believed that red algal intercellular transport of macromolecules is prevented by the protein-rich pit plug within pit-connections, the only physical connection between cells. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran and recombinant green fluorescence protein (rGFP) of various molecular sizes were injected into vegetative cells of Griffithsia monilis using a micromanipulator, and intercellular transport of the fluorescent probes was examined. Pit-connections were found to provide intercellular transport of tracers at rates comparable to plasmodesmata in other organisms. The time necessary for the transport to an adjacent cell was dependent on the molecular size and the direction of the transport. Fluorescent dextran of 3 kDa was transported to adjacent cells in 1-2 h after injection and migrated to all cells of the filament within 24 h, but fluorescent dextran of 10-20 kDa took 24 h to transfer to neighboring cells. The migration occurred faster towards adjacent reproductive cells and to apical cells than basally. Fluorescent tracers above 40 kDa and rGFP was not transported to neighboring cells, but accumulated near the pit plug. Our results suggest that pit-connections are conduit for macromolecules between neighboring cells and that these size-specific conduits allow intercellular communication between the vegetative cells of red algae.

WHO declared a global pandemic on March 11th for Corona 19. However, there is a situation where you have to go to building for face-to-face education or seminars for economic and social activities. The first check method of COVID-19 infection is to measure body temperature, so the primary entrance and exit is blocked for near-field body temperature measurement. However, since it is troublesome to check directly, thermal camera is installed at the entrance of the building, and body temperature is measured indirectly using the infrared camera to control access. In case of middle and high schools, universities, and lifelong education center, we need a system that is possible to interoperate with attendance checks and automatically recognizes whether to wear masks and can authenticate students. We proposed the system that is to confirm whether to wear a mask with a camera that is embedded in a smart mirror, and that authenticates the user through voice recognition of the user who wants to enter the building by using voice recognition technology and determines whether to enter them or not. The proposed system can check attendance if it is linked with near-field temperature measurement and attendance check APP of student's smart phone.

In this paper, we studied about the radiated emission of EFT(Electrical Fast Transient)/Burst signal, referenced IEC-61000-4-4 of the international EMC standard and its effect on EUT(Equipment Under the Test) when EFT/Burst signal (Conducted noise) induced on a power cable to EUT. Firstly, we set up test sample by the standard and +4 kV standard signal is induced by EFT/Burst signal generator with 1 m length power cable for 1 minute. Consequently, we found not only induced EFT/Burst signal along power line, but also directly radiated emission signal from EFT/Burst signal generator (Radiated emission noise of EFT/Burst). The radiated emission signal of EFT/Burst was 30 dB which is higher than limit of CISPR 22 which is international EMC standard. Moreover, we measured the electric field strength by changing distance from maximum radiated emission point to electric field strength tester. As a result, this electric field strength was 23 V/m which is higher than international EMC standard test level(CISPR 24). Therefore, it was confirmed that the probability of malfunction may be high when radiated emission of EFT/Burst noise exists near the EUT.
