Energy scavenging is a technique that converts ambient energy, for example, vibration and light, to electrical energy in order to supply power to low power electronic devices such as ubiquitous sensors. In this paper, we propose an optimal operation condition of power delivery circuit and design strategy for energy scavenging system in which the generated power is order of microwatt and, consequently, efficient handling of power is critical. We also propose that high data transmission rate is more realistic optimal design objective rather than high energy efficiency. It is shown that disconnection of load from the storage capacitor right after data transmission reduces energy wasting and that optimal value of storage capacitor can be determined at this condition. The feasibility of our propose is proved by experiments and we believe that the proposed design strategy will promote the application of piezoelectric micropower generator to the ubiquitous sensor networks.

The medium access control (MAC) protocol based on dynamic time division multiple access/time division duplex (TDMA/TDD) is responsible for random access control and radio resource allocation in dynamic traffic environments. These functions of random access and resource allocation are very important to prevent wastage of resources and improve MAC performance according to various network conditions. In this paper, we propose new random access and resource allocation schemes to guarantee quality of service (QoS) and provide priority services in a dynamic TDMA/TDD system. First, for the QoS guarantee, we propose an adaptive random access and resource allocation scheme by introducing an access probability. Second, for providing priority service, we propose a priority-based random access and resource allocation scheme by extending the first adaptive scheme in both a centralized and a distributed manner. The analysis and simulation results show that the proposed MAC protocol outperforms the legacy MAC protocol using a simple binary exponential backoff algorithm, and provides good differential performance according to priorities with respect to the throughput and delay.

It has not been studied about modeling methods for SVG documents to represent animation in the web that has been recently increased in interest. In this paper, I propose component modeling for SVG documents by CBD methodology. First, I propose conceptual modeling by UML class diagrams for converting SVG document into component diagram. And then, I propose rules to convert the UML class diagram into component diagram. Thus, main contribution of this paper is that it can generate a component diagram for a SVG document using Component-Based Development methodology.

Internet as being generalized, intrusion detection system is needed to protect computer system from intrusions synthetically. We propose a criterion on profiling for intrusion detection system using anomaly detection. We present the cause of false positive on profiling and propose anomaly method to control this. Finally, we propose similarity function to decide whether anomaly action or not for user pattern using pattern database.

In this paper, we propose two effective energy feature normalization methods for robust speech recognition in noisy environments. In the first method, we estimate the noise energy and remove it from the noisy speech energy. In the second method, we propose a modified algorithm for the Log-energy Dynamic Range Normalization (ERN) method. In the ERN method, the log energy of the training data in a clean environment is transformed into the log energy in noisy environments. If the minimum log energy of the test data is outside of a pre-defined range, the log energy of the test data is also transformed. Since the ERN method has several weaknesses, we propose a modified transform scheme designed to reduce the residual mismatch that it produces. In the evaluation conducted on the Aurora2.0 database, we obtained a significant performance improvement.

In this paper, we propose development of new products including the proposed process of at the customer's requirements. The success of new product development depends on customer satisfaction in the marketplace. Existing product development process, including the customer's interest was weak. In this paper, we propose development of new products which include Kano's attractive quality factor method and Timko's customer satisfaction index method. Also we verified new medical treatment of incontinence-nency which is applied to the proposed process.

In conventional patchwork, the difference of the mean values of two groups is compared for watermark detection. We propose two modified patchwork schemes based on order statistics, which achieves significant improvements over conventional patchwork. First, we propose that the mean comparison is replaced by the median comparison, to get PSNR improvement due to informed watermarking. Second, we propose a majority voting scheme of a sequential comparison of pixel pairs in a sorted order, which produces significantly lower BER. The performance improvements are mathematically analyzed and tested. In experimental results, PSNR is about 5㏈～10㏈ higher in the first method and BER is about 1/5～l/2 times lower in the second method than conventional patchwork.

Program slicing is a program decomposition technique to improve the effectiveness of program testing and maintenance. In this paper I propose a method for slicing object-oriented programs and show its correctness. Also, I propose the class interface slicing technique which can eliminate irrelevant data members, subobjects, and methods from the class declaration parts of the given program. And I show its correctness. Finally, I propose the class hierarchy slicing technique which can compute the declarative parts affecting or affected by the given data member. These techniques may be used for information analysis in some area such as class testing.

Purpose - Drone delivery is expected to revolutionize the supply chain industry. This paper aims to introduce a collaborative parcel delivery problem by truck and drone (hereinafter called "TDRP") and propose a novel heuristic method to solve the problem. Research design, data, and methodology - To show the effectiveness of collaborative delivery by truck and drone, we generate a toy problem composed of 9 customers and the speed of drone is assumed to be two times faster than truck. We compared the delivery completion times by 'truck only' case and 'truck and drone' case by solving the optimization problem respectively. Results - We provide literature reviews for truck and drone routing problem for collaborative delivery and propose a novel and original heuristic method to solve the problem with numerical example. By numerical example, collaborative delivery is expected to reduce delivery completion time by 12~33% than 'truck only' case. Conclusions - In this paper, we introduce the TDRP in order for collaborative delivery to be effective and propose a novel and original heuristic method to solve the problem. The results of research will be help to develop effective heuristic solution and optimize the parcel delivery by using drone.

We propose a new method of generating client models for HMM based text-dependent speaker verification system with only a small amount of training data. To make a client model, statistical methods such as segmental K-means algorithm are widely used, but they do not guarantee the quality or reliability of a model when only limited data are avaliable. In this paper, we propose a blind speech segmentation based on level building DTW algorithm as an alternative method to make a client model with limited data. In addition, considering the fact that voiced sounds have much more speaker-specific information than unvoiced sounds and energy of the former is higher than that of the latter, we also propose a new score evaluation method using the observation probability raised to the power of weighting factor estimated from the normalized log energy. Our experiment shows that the proposed methods are superior to conventional HMM based speaker verification system.
