Recently, robotic automation in clinical laboratory becomes of keen interest as a fusion of bio and robotic technology. In this paper, we present a new robotic platform for clinical tests suitable for small or medium sized laboratories using mobile robots. The mobile robot called Mobile Agent is designed as transfer system of blood samples, reagents, microplates, and any instruments. Also, the developed mobile agent can perform diverse tests simultaneously based on its cooperative and distributed ability. The driving circuits for the mobile agent are embedded in the robot, and each mobile agent communicates with other agents by using Bluetooth communication. The RFID system is used to recognize patient information. Also, the magnetic hall sensor is embedded to remove and compensate the cumulated error of locomotion at the bottom of mobile agent. The proposed mobile agent can be easily used for various applications because it is designed to be compatible with general software development tools. The Mobile agents are manufactured, and feasibility of the robot and localization of the agents using magnetic hall sensor are validated by preliminary experiments.

To compensate voltage error of the channel selecting filter, a current comparison type voltage tuning circuit is designed. Because the proposed current comparison type voltage tuning circuit is not need to attach another subcircuit, the chip size can be reduced, therefore the proposed circuit is very useful in the low voltage and low power channel filter. We used three channels including bluetooth communication system as application circuits of the proposed tuning circuit. As the results of HSPICE simulation using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology verify that the proposed tuning circuit respectively can be operated in $12{\mu}s$, $13{\mu}s$ and $15{\mu}s$ in three channel.

The WLAN and WPAN systems employed on 2.4GHz ISM band wireless networks provide complementary services within the same environments. Coexistence between the networks will be impaired, if the mutual packets are uncertainty associated the timing or gaussian distance. This paper analyzes the impact of the mutual interference on the services performance and in order to minimize the effect of WPAN system signals on the WLAN system, proposed a method of suppressing the interference on the WLAN system. The analysis is illustrated by examining the symbol error rate versus signal to noise interference ratio in terms of the carrier frequency offset.

This paper introduces a system that enables pupillary tracing and communication with patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) who can not move free. Face and pupil are tracked using OpenCV, and eye movements are detected using DE1-SoC board. We use the webcam, track the pupil, identify the pupil's movement according to the pupil coordinate value, and select the character according to the user's intention. We propose a system that can use relatively low development cost and FPGA can be reusable, and can select a text easily to mobile phone by using Bluetooth.

In this abstract, introduces a system that enables communication by tracking the pupils of Lou Gehrig's disease patients who are unable to move their bodies. Face and eye pupil tracking perform using OpenCV, and eye movement recognition and character selection by eye movement is obtained using Python. In this paper, you will use the webcams, track your eyes, determine eye movements based on the coordinates of your pupils, and print characters that meet your preferences. It can easily output text messages using Bluetooth.

In this paper we propose a motion recognition method for handheld controller 3-D acceleration signals, generated by 3 axis accelerometer in the controller, are transmitted to the computer by Bluetooth communication. We extract motion segments from continuous acceleration signals and apply to each motion model, which is trained in training phase. Hidden Markov Model was used to model each motion. We applied proposed method to three motion sets, the recognition result was good enough to practical use.

The $4^{th}$ generation mobile communications, through several radio access networks such as WLAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, GPRS, CDMA 1X, and IMT-2000 in the same area offering different type of coverage, will support interactive multimedia services in additions to wider bandwidths, higher bit rates, and service portability. Regardless of various radio access networks, they will also support robust security mechanisms, as well as seamless mobility and common authentication. In this paper, we give an overview of WLAN security and examine its security problems. We also explain the enhanced security schemes, such as port-based authentication, EAP, and IEEE 802.1X. For secure wireless communications, several possible security solutions are offered and evaluated in various respects to improve WLAN security. This paper will make a contribution to provide more secure wireless communications to cellular operators embracing WLAN technology as a means to generate new revenues based on data services.

대학 강의의 출석정보는 학생들의 강의 참여 상태를 확인하여 성적부여뿐만 아니라 학생들의 태도를 파악하기 위한 중요한 자료로 활용된다. 따라서 교수는 매 강의시간 출석확인을 통하여 학생들의 강의참여도를 파악하고, 이를 평가에 활용하고 있다. 대부분의 출석확인은 교수의 수작업에 의존하고 있기 때문에 강의시간 중 일부를 할애하여 처리하고 있으며, 이 시간동안은 강의내용과 관련된 활동이 거의 이루어지기 힘들다. 이러한 문제를 개선하여 강의의 질을 향상시키기 위해 자동 출석체크가 가능한 시스템을 도입하는 대학교가 최근 늘어나고 있다. 그러나 기존의 시스템은 출석관리를 위해서 도입되어야 하는 단말기, ID 카드 등의 초기 도입비용이 매우 큰 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 자동 출석체크가 가능할 뿐만 아니라 시스템의 초기 도입 비용을 줄이기 위해서 비콘 기반의 스마트 출석관리 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 제안된 시스템은 학생들이 소지하고 있는 스마트폰을 출석체크에 활용함으로써 강의실에 설치된 비콘 이외에 추가적인 단말기나 ID 카드 등이 필요하지 않다. 또한, 강의실에 부착된 비콘과 스마트폰 간에 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) 통신을 통하여 출석정보를 자동으로 수집하고 실시간으로 파악하도록 함으로써 강의의 질을 높일 수 있도록 하였다.

In this study, ubiquitous health care system attaching in chair to monitor ECG for health care was developed at the unconsciousness state. The system conveniently and simple measured ECG at non-consciousness. We measured the contact impedance to skin-electrode of metal mesh electrodes of the system. Contact impedance enable the electrode to use for ECG measurement. The results are that the impedance of the metal mesh electrodes according to sizes is low when the size is 4$cm^2$. As the result, when the size of the metal mesh electrode is 4$cm^2$, the electrode is fit for ECG measurement. We can acquired by positing the arm on the metal mesh electrode. The ECG signal was detected using a high-input-impedance bio-amplifier, and then passed filter circuitry. The measured signal transmitted to a PC through the bluetooth wireless communication and monitored. Data of the non-constrained ECG system attaching in chair is noise-data when comparing metal mesh electrode with the Ag/Agcl electrode but the data is significant to monitor ECG for check the body state.

The exact load measurements for the mechanical parts of a wind turbine are important step both fur the evaluation of a specific wind turbine design and for a certification process. A common method for a mechanical load measurement is using a strain gauge sensing. Two main problems ought to be answered in order for this method to be applied to the wind turbine project. These are strain gauge calibration and non-contact signal transmission from the strain gauge output to a load monitoring system. This paper suggests reliable solutions fer these two problems. A Bluetooth, a short range wireless data communication technology, is used to solve the second problem. The first one, the strain gauge calibration methodology for a load measurement in a wind turbine application, is fully explained in this paper. Various mechanical loadings for a strain gauge calibration in a wind turbine load measurement are introduced and analyzed. Initial experimental results which are obtained from a 1 kW small size wind turbine are analyzed, and the uncertainty problem in estimating mechanical loads using a calibration matrix is fully covered in this paper.
