A wheel dynamometer was installed between the rim and axle hub to measure the forces and moments applied to a vehicle. The wheel dynamometer was composed of sensing and signal processing components. Because the sensing component contained a complex structure to sense the six components of the forces and moments and the wheel rotated along with the vehicle movement, sophisticated signal processing hardware and a software algorithm were used. The strains and the calibration matrices of the wheel dynamometer along the wheel rotation angle were investigated using FEM. From the analysis, the calibration matrices were simplified using a spline interpolation. Based upon these results, the signal processing component could be effectively designed and the firmware software could be simplified.

The architecture and design of a highperformance general-purpose microprogrammable sequential controller are presented. Conventional sequential controllrs are limited by speed, memory requirement, flexibility and programming ease. The proposed controller solves those limitations. it has a fixed hardware and is microprogrammable throutgh firmware modification. It is especially designed for complex high-speed sequential controllers requiring large I/O capabilities, such as industrial process ocntroller or power electronic conversion controller.

A cryptographic dongle, which is capable of transmitting encrypted voice signals over the CDMA/GSM voice channel, was designed and implemented. The dongle used PIC microcontroller for signals processing including analog to digital conversion and digital to analog conversion, encryption and communicating with the smart phone. A smart phone was used to provide power to the dongle as well as passing the encrypted speech to the smart phone which then transmits the signal to the network. A number of tests were conducted to check the efficiency of the dongle, the firmware programming, the encryption algorithms, and the secret key management system, the interface between the smart phone and the dongle and the noise level.

A lock-in amplifier was proposed for capacitive sensor applications. This amplifier was based on a general-purpose microcontroller and had only a charge amplifier as analog circuits. All the other functions of lock-in amplifier except for the charge amplifier were implemented with firmware and the internal resources of the microcontroller. A rectangular signal, generated by the microcontroller, was used in a sensor-driving signal instead of a conventional sinusoidal signal. This makes it possible that the phase comparison circuit in the lockin amplifier is made with analog-to-digital converter, a timer and an interrupt controller. Using the oversampling method and the rectangular driving signal, we can make it easy to implement the peak detection function with software and sample the peak-to-peak signal at charge amplifier output. A charge amplifier was proposed to cancel out the base capacitance existing in capacitive sensors structurally. The experimental results show that the lock-in amplifier operating in the supply voltage of 3.0 V cancels out the base capacitance and has good linearity.

This paper describes a high speed MAC(Media Access Control) function chip for IEEE 802.11 MAC layer protocol. The MAC chip has control registers and interrupt scheme for interface with CPU and deals with transmission/reception of data as a unit of frame. The developed MAC chip is composed of protocol control block, transmission block, and reception block which supports the BCF function in IEEE 802.11 specification. The test suite which is adopted in order to verify operation of the MAC chip includes various functions, such as RTS-CTS frame exchange procedure, correct IFS(Inter Frame Space)timing, access procedure, random backoff procedure, retransmission procedure, fragmented frame transmission/reception procedure, duplicate reception frame detection, NAV(Network Allocation Vector), reception error processing, broadcast frame transmission/reception procedure, beacon frame transmission/reception procedure, and transmission/reception FIEO operation. By using this technique, it is possible to reduce the load of CPU and firmware size in high speed wireless LAN system.

A real-time identifier for the nonstationary time-varying signals and systems was implemented using a low cost DSP (digital signal processing) chip. The identifier is comprised of I/O units, a central processing unit, a control unit and its supporting software. In order t estimate the system accurately and to reduce quantization error during arithmetic operation, the firmware was programmed with 64-bit extended precision arithmetic. The performance of the identifier was verified by comparing with the simulation results. The implemented real-time identifier has negligible quantization errors and its real-time processing capability crresponds to 0.6kHz for the nonstationary AR (autoregressive) model with n=4 and m=1.

In this paper, the realization of a hearing aid adaptively cancelling feedback noise was considered. Conventional least mean square method in time domain was transformed into frequency domain in order to minimize computational burden. The adaptive filter algorithm was evaluated by Matlab (Matrix laboratory), and it was confirmed by CSR 8675 Bluetooth DSP IC (Digital Signal Processor Integrated Circuit) chip firmware realization. Some remote control features by a smart phone was added to the smart hearing aid for user interface easiness.

Sound quality is becoming a major concern in optical disc drives (ODD). In order to improve the sound quality of slim type ODDs, we changed lead screw pitch and firmware algorithm in the seek mode. To evaluate the sound quality, the PCM (Paired Comparison Method) was adopted and the result was compared with the time-averaged loudness spectrum. Sound signals were also recorded and modified by increasing or decreasing selected frequency bands to verify their sensitivities to the sound quality. As a result of jury test, preferred frequency bands are associated with the time-averaged loudness spectrum.
