  • In this paper, we consider a typical health care system via the help of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for wireless patient tracking. The wireless patient tracking module of this system performs localization out of samples of Received Signal Strength (RSS) variations and tracking through a Particle Filter (PF) for WSN assisted by multiple transmit-power information. We propose a modified PF, Kullback-Leibler Distance (KLD)-resampling PF, to ameliorate the effect of RSS variations by generating a sample set near the high-likelihood region for improving the wireless patient tracking. The key idea of this method is to approximate a discrete distribution with an upper bound error on the KLD for reducing both location error and the number of particles used. To determine this bound error, an optimal algorithm is proposed based on the maximum gap error between the proposal and Sampling Important Resampling (SIR) algorithms. By setting up these values, a number of simulations using the health care system's data sets which contains the real RSSI measurements to evaluate the location error in term of various power levels and density nodes for all methods. Finally, we point out the effect of different power levels vs. different density nodes for the wireless patient tracking.

  • 현재 우리 사회의 큰 관심사 중에 하나는 FTA 관세 장벽 철폐에 따른 부분이다. 또한 이로 인해 가장 큰 타격을 받는 부분은 산업 분야보다는 농업분야가 가장 클 것이란 사실은 우리가 당면한 현실이다. FTA 문제는 어제오늘의 문제가 아니라 오랜 시간동안 등장해온 문제이지만 우리에게는 이 문제에 대한 정부의 대책은 미흡하기만 하다. 이런 주위의 여건에서 정보화와 자동화 관리 시스템은 우리나라 농업분야에서 빠질수 없는 부분이 되어가고 있다. 농업 분야에서 세계화에 발맞추어가기 위해 추진 중인 여러 사업 중에는 농민들의 자발적인 참여로 인하여 추진중인 여러 사업들이 존재하고 이를 위한 자동화 관리 모델들의 발달 또한 추진중에 있다. 과수부분에 서의 사업을 예를 들면 썬키스트, 델몬트, 제스프리 등과 같은 세계화 브랜드의 육성이라는 전제하에 한국과수농협연합회가 '썬플러스 (Sunplus)'라는 사업을 추진 중에 있다. 현재의 사업은 참여 농가의 자발적인 의사에 따라 행해지고 있지만 구체적인 브랜드 관리 지침과 선별기준이 명확하게 갖추어져 있기 때문에 이행 여부에 관한 규제 문제 또한 문제가 되며, 장기적으로는 농가의 확대와 더불어 효율적이고 체계적인 농업 기술 정보의 수집과 향후 농업지도에 필요한 생산성 증대를 위한 농업정보의 DB 시스템 도입의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 농업 과수 부분에서의 무인 측정 시스템의 설치와 이를 이용한 환경 정보 수집을 위해 연구를 하고자 한다.

  • In multimedia service of Ubiquitous Home Environment(UHE), the requirements such as intelligent service that is executed automatically without direct order of user and fitted service compatible for each user and comfortable of user, interoperability of multimedia contents between incompatible devices will increase. Multimedia protection and management, authentication and authority administration methods that are suitable for above demands are also required. In this paper, we suggest authentication method suited for UHE and propose user oriented multimedia service(UHMS: Ubiquitous Home Multimedia Service) that provides the interoperability of multimedia between incompatible devices, conducts intelligently the context information (preference information, device information etc.) using sensor module and home server, provides and secure services.

  • The car design has changed a lot over the past 100 years, but the side mirrors have not changed. It is not right in the fourth round of the Industrial Revolution. It is also an analog format, which has many disadvantages. Accordingly, by replacing the side mirror to the camera to change the digital it was improve the limitations and disadvantages of the 'mirror' with. It also has additional benefits such as fuel savings of 5 to 10 percent per year and automatic detection of threats. In this project, we used Razberry pie, which is highly compatible, as a main board, and connected infrared distance sensor and monitor module to focus on automatic threat detection.

  • This paper presents the enhancement of oxygen transfer efficiency using vibrating intravascular lung assist device (VIVLAD) for patients having chronic respiratory problems. The flow rate was controlled by the pump and monitored by a built-in flow meter. The vibration apparatus was composed of a piezo-actuator, a function generator, and a power amplifier. Gas flow rates of up to 6 L/min through the 120-cm-long hollow fibers have been achieved by exciting a piezo-actuator. The output PVDF sensor and FRF (frequency response function) were investigated by various frequency in VIVLAD. As a result, the maximum oxygen transfer rate was found to occur with maximum amplitude and the transfer of vibration to the hollow fiber membranes. It was excited by the frequency band of 35 Hz at various distilled water flow rates, and various module types.

  • In this paper, we describe the method of non-invasive blood pressure measurement using pulse wave transit time(PWTT). PWTT is a new parameter involved with a vascular that can indicate the change of BP. PWTT is measured by continuous monitoring of ECG and pulse wave. No additional sensors or modules are required. In many cases, the change of PWTT correlates with the change of BP. We measure pulse wave using the photo plethysmograph(PPG) sensor in an earlobe and we measure ECG using the ECG monitoring device our made in the chest. The measurement device for detecting pulse wave consists of infrared LED for transmitted light illumination, pin photodiode as light detector, amplifier and filter. We composed 0.5Hz high pass, 60Hz notch and 10Hz low pass filter. ECG measurement device consists of multiplexer, amplifier, filter, micro-controller and RF module. After amplification and filtering, ECG signal and pulse wave is fed through micro-controller. We performed the initial work towards the development of ambulatory BP monitoring system using PWTT. An earlobe is suitable place to measure PPG signal without the restraint in daily work. From the results, we can know that the dependence of PWTT on BP is almost linear and it is possible to monitoring an individual BP continuously after the individual calibration.

  • Distributed Autonomous Robotic System (DARS) is defined as a system that independent autonomous robots in the restricted environments infer their status from pre-assigned conditions and operate their jobs through the cooperation with each other. In the DARS, a robot contains sensor part to percept the situation around themselves, communication part to exchange information, and actuator part to do a work. Especially, in order to cooperate with other robots, communicating with other robots is one of the essential elements. Because Bluetooth has many advantages such as low power consumption, small size module package, and various standard protocols, Bluetooth is rated as one of the efficient communicating technologies which can apply to small-sized robot system. In this paper, we will develop Bluetooth communicating system for autonomous robots such as DARS robots. For this purpose, The Bluetooth communication system must have several features. The first, this system should be separated from other robot parts and operate spontaneously and independently. In other words, this communication system should have the ability to organize and maintain and reorganize a network scheme. The next, this system had better support any kinds of standard interfaces in order to guarantee flexible applicability to other embedded system. We will discuss how to construct and what kind of procedure to develop the network system.

  • As the use of computer has been popularized these days, an active research is in progress to make much more convenient and natural interface compared to the existing user interfaces such as keyboard or mouse. For this reason, there is an increasing interest toward Microsoft's motion sensing module called Kinect, which can perform hand motions and speech recognition system in order to realize communication between people. Kinect uses its built-in sensor to recognize the main joint movements and depth of the body. It can also provide a simple speech recognition through the built-in microphone. In this paper, the goal is to use Kinect's depth value data, skeleton tracking and labeling algorithm to recognize information about the extraction and movement of hand, and replace the role of existing peripherals using a virtual mouse, a virtual keyboard, and a speech recognition.
