In terms of development of intelligent information devices, the most important element is the function which is able to deliver the information user wants to input on the device without complexities. By using the mean such as our voice, expression, gesture and physical contact we use in our daily routine, we are able to interact with device easily and simply. In this paper, we are initiated to present interactive surface system, in which allows users to use their hand gesture as a function of mouse and keyboard free, to be interacted within the platform of web application.

In the production of semiconductor wafer, optical and electron microscopes, ion-beam, laser device must maintain their alignments within a sub-micrometer. This equipment requires a vibration free environment to provide its proper function. Especially, lithography and inspection devices, which have sub-nanometer class high accuracy and resolution, have come to necessity for producing more improved giga and tera class semiconductor wafers. This high technology equipments require very strict environmental vibration standard, vibration criteria, in proportion to the accuracy of the manufacturing, inspecting devices. The vibration criteria of high sensitive equipment should be represented in the form of exactness and accuracy, because this is used as basic data for the design of building structure and structural dynamics of equipment. The study on the evaluation of the factors affecting the permissible vibration criteria is required to design the efficient isolation system of the semiconductor manufacturing of equipment. This paper deals with the properties of the effected factor for vibration criteria of high sensitive equipment.

With the advantages of power savings, increased life expectancy and fast response time over traditional incandescent bulb, LEDs are increasingly used for many applications including automotive, aviation, display, and special lighting applications. Since the high heat generation of LED chips can reduce service life, degrade luminous efficiency, and cause variation of color temperature, many studies have been carried out on the optimization of LED packaging and heat sinks. In this study, a fin expansion type cooling device using heat pipe, instead of a solid aluminum heat sink, was designed for LED security lightings based on thermal resistance analysis. Numerical analysis and experimental validation were carried out to evaluate its cooling performance.

Localization system is an important problem for Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN). Since the sensor nodes are limited, the range-based that uses the special device for localization is unsuitable in WSN. DV-Hop is one of the range-free localization algorithm using hop-distance and number of hop count. But Its disadvantage is that it spend large communication cost in scalable sensor nodes. We propose a simple algorithm to reduce the communication cost, using the smallest number of hop count.

This paper is about the magnetic suspension stage based on the Switched Reluctance propulsion principle. Because the previous studies on contact-free stage adopted the Lorentz force for main force generation mechanism they have suffered from thermal problem deteriorating the precision. Thus, the magnetic suspension stage adopting SR principle which can achieve high force density is proposed. The main operating principle and structure for achieving high resolution and long travel range are represented. The magnetic force analysis of each actuator, providing back data for dynamic modeling and controller design are carried out. By conducting basic experiments, the feasibility of the proposed system is shown. In addition the problems which should be improved and their solutions are represented.

Java virtual machine has the garbage collector that automate memory management. Mark-compact algorithm is one of the garbage collection algorithm that operating in 2 phases, marking and sweeping. One is Marking is marking live objects reachable from root object set. Sweeping is sweeping unmarked object from memory(return to free memory pool). This algorithm is easy to implement but cause a memory fragmentation. So compacting memory, before memory defragmentation become serious. When compacting memory, all other processes are suspended. It is critical for embedded system that must guarantee real-time processing. This paper introduce enhanced mark-compact garbage collection algorithm. Grouping the objects by their size that minimize memory fragmentation. Then apply smart algorithm to the grouped objects when allocating objects and compacting memory.

Most signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation techniques in digital communication channels derive the SNR estimates solely from samples of the received signal after the matched filter. They are based on symbol SNR and assume perfect synchronization and intersymbol interference (ISI)-free symbols. In severe channel distortion where ISI is significant, the performance of these estimators badly deteriorates. We propose an SNR estimator which can operate on data samples collected at the front-end of a receiver or at the input to the decision device. This will relax the restrictions over channel distortions and help extend the application of SNR estimators beyond system monitoring. The proposed estimator uses the characteristics of the second order moments of the additive white Gaussian noise digital communication channel and a linear predictor based on the modified-covariance algorithm in estimating the SNR value. The performance of the proposed technique is investigated and compared with other in-service SNR estimators in digital communication channels. The simulated performance is also compared to the Cram$\acute{e}$r-Rao bound as derived at the input of the decision circuit.

Emerging mobile edge computing (MEC) can be used in battery-constrained Internet of things (IoT). The execution latency of IoT applications can be improved by offloading computation-intensive tasks to an MEC server. Recently, the popularity of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased rapidly, and UAV-based MEC systems are receiving considerable attention. In this paper, we propose a dynamic computation offloading paradigm for UAV-based MEC systems, in which a UAV flies over an urban environment and provides edge services to IoT devices on the ground. Since most IoT devices are energy-constrained, we formulate our problem as a Markov decision process considering the energy level of the battery of each IoT device. We also use model-free Q-learning for time-critical tasks to maximize the system utility. According to our performance study, the proposed scheme can achieve desirable convergence properties and make intelligent offloading decisions.

Since the release of safety standard IEC 61508 which defines functional safety of electronic safety-related systems, SIL(Safety Integrity Level) certification for railway systems has gained lots of attention lately. In this paper, we propose a new design technique of the computer board for train control systems with high reliability and safety. The board is designed with TMR(Triple Modular Redundancy) using a certified SIL3 Texas Instrument(TI)'s TMS570 MCU(Micro-Controller Unit) to guarantee safety and reliability. TMR for the control device is implemented on FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) which integrates a comparator, a CAN(Controller Area Network) communication module, built-in self-error checking, error discriminant function to improve the reliability of the board. Even if a malfunction of a processing module occurs, the safety control function based on the proposed technique lets the system operate properly by detecting and masking the malfunction. An RTOS (Real Time Operation System) called FreeRTOS is ported on the board so that reliable and stable operation and convenient software development can be provided.
