Recently, CMOS RF integration has been widely explored in the wireless communication area to save cost, power, and chip area. The direct conversion architecture, rather than a more conventional super-het-erodyne, has been an attractive choice for single-chip integration because of its many advantages. However, the direct conversion architecture has several fundamental problems to solve in achieving performance comparable to a super-heterodyne counterpart. In this paper, we describe a programmable filter for mobile communication terminals using a direct conversion architecture. The proposed filter can be implemented with the active-RC filter and programmed to meet the requirements of different communication standards, including GSM, DECT and WCDMA. The filter can be tuned to select a detail frequency by changing the gate voltage of the MOS resistors. The gain of the proposed architecture can be programmed from 27dB to 72dB using the filter gain and VGA in 3dB steps.

Deflections due to shrinkage are frequently ignored in design calculation. Especially for thin member, shrinkage often causes considerable deformations as wellas appreciable stress changes. Several methods for computing shringkage curvature have been proposed by many researchers. Some of the approximte methods widely used in the recent years are the equivalent tensile force method, Miller's method and Branson's method. These methods were, however, somewhat oversimplified and could be too conservative in the case of well cured concrete structure. In this paper, an approximate method for computing shrinkage curvature and deflection is proposed. Curvature due to shrinkage is derived from the requirements of strain compatibility and equilibrium of a section and the age-adjusted effective modulus method. The proposed method is verified by comparison with several experimental measurements. The correlations between calculated and measured curvatures is very good.

In this study, we propose an approach for the design and satisfy the requirements of the fabrication of a small, lightweight, reliable, and stable ultra-wideband receiver for millimeter-wave bands and the contents of the approach. In this paper, we designed and fabricated a stable receiver with having low noise figure, flat gain characteristics, and low noise characteristics, suitable for millimeter-wave bands. The method uses the chip-and-wire process for the assembly and operation of a bare MMIC device. In order to compensate for the mismatch between the components used in the receiver, an amplifier, mixer, multiplier, and filter suitable for wideband frequency characteristics were designed and applied to the receiver. To improve the low frequency and narrow bandwidth of existing products, mathematical modeling of the wideband receiver was performed and based on this spurious signals generated from complex local oscillation signals were designed so as not to affect the RF path. In the ultra-wideband receiver, the gain was between 22.2 dB and 28.5 dB at Band A (input frequency, 18-26 GHz) with a flatness of approximately 6.3 dB, while the gain was between 21.9 dB and 26.0 dB at Band B (input frequency, 26-40 GHz) with a flatness of approximately 4.1 dB. The measured value of the noise figure at Band A was 7.92 dB and the maximum value of noise figure, measured at Band B was 8.58 dB. The leakage signal of the local oscillator (LO) was -97.3 dBm and -90 dBm at the 33 GHz and 44 GHz path, respectively. Measurement was made at the 15 GHz IF output of band A (LO, 33 GHz) and the suppression characteristic obtained through the measurement was approximately 30 dBc.

For the over-heat protection purpose in power strip devices, over-current detection/protection circuits, such as bimetal, switching circuit, and microprocessor-based relay circuit, have been widely setup in high-end products. Most of these circuits are connected to the power line in parallel and, thus, they are sensitive to the line voltage and current distortion. Moreover, these protection circuits are often costly and, therefore, it is hard to meet the commercial requirements. A low-cost over-current detection circuit with the contactless current transducer is designed and tested in this paper. The detection circuit is galvanically isolated from the power line and, thus, less sensitive to the line voltage distortion. The experimental results show that the proposed circuit accurately operates despite of its simple structure and low-cost electronic parts.

To improve the quality of healthcare and build up the health delivery system, electronic health record system is important for healthcare institutions providing health services. However, the systems currently operated in domestic healthcare institutions use independent software interface with distributed environment for data search and process. Therefore, it raises an additional expense to buy or develop each interface module when there is a link to new system and the problem of complexity. To solve these problems, this study implemented the service oriented architecture basis for home nursing service and carried out an assessment. The study defined the process modeling and business requirements based on the scenario of service and drew 17 suitable services based on five verification items for service design. To draw the final service, seven services were selected by service litmus test (SLT). The study found that, by the improvement of business process for healthcare service support department, SOA based information system has an effect of time reduction of patient processing time. In conclusion, to enable the hospital information system to cope with various demands of healthcare consumers, it is necessary to consider the application of SOA technology which has excellent interoperability, reusability and maintenance.

Recently, there has been growing interest in workload consolidation via virtualization for real-time systems. Meanwhile, due to virtualization, additional overhead from intervention of hypervisor increases the execution time of applications running on virtual machine. The increase in execution time decreases the performance of workloads on virtual machines, thus satisfying real-time requirements are not easy. To resolve the problem, we designed and implemented a hypervisor (the K-Hypervisor) that allows programs on virtual machines to access the physical resources, without intervention of the hypervisor. Experimental results show that programs running on K-Hypervisor increase their execution time by about 3% on an average, compared to the native environment. Moreover, it is suitable for real-time workload execution because of its uniform performance degradation, regardless of the resources accessed from tasks, and the frequency it is accessed.

With the rapid development of wireless communications and mobile technologies, requirements of various services based on moving objects like location-based services and mobile applications services have been increased. In this paper, we propose an index structure which can improve the performance on trajectory-based query especially, one of the various query types for moving objects in mobile applications. It maintains link table(L-Table) to obtain good efficiency on retrieval and insertion performance of the existing TB(Trajectory Bundle)-tree proposed for trajectory-based query of moving objects. The L-Table contains page number in disk and memory pointers pointing the leaf node with the first and last line segment of moving objects in order to directly access preceding node. In addition, we design to reside a part of whole index in main memory by preserving a fixed size of buffer in case of being restricted by available main memory. Finally, experimental results with various data sets show that the proposed technique is superior to the existing index structures with respect to insertion and trajectory-based query.

WSN gateway which runs transmission between WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) based on IEEE 802.15.4 and PN (Public Network) based on TCP/IP belongs to core technology of application based on two network. Because WSN Gateway receives various kinds of packet from many sensor nodes in an uncertain time as well as uses hardware's performance enough, it has high level of complexity about software and it is hard to be implemented. To solve these problems, this paper suggests both efficient event detection scheme for identify packet and implementation unit of protocol called 'Transaction'. The results of applying the proposed network framework, complexity of software reduces. And we provide software development environments of reflect various performance requirements.
