Numerous devices exist for reducing or eliminating seismic damage to structures. These include passive dampers, semi-active dampers, and active control devices. The performance of structural systems with these devices has often been evaluated using numerical simulations. Experiments on structural systems with these devices, particularly at large-scale, are lacking. This paper describes a real-time hybrid testing facility that has been developed at the Lehigh University NEES Equipment Site. The facility enables real-time large-scale experiments to be performed on structural systems with rate-dependent devices, thereby permitting a more complete evaluation of the seismic performance of the devices and their effectiveness in seismic hazard reduction. The hardware and integrated control architecture for hybrid testing developed at the facility are presented. An application involving the use of passive elastomeric dampers in a three story moment resisting frame subjected to earthquake ground motions is presented. The experiment focused on a test structure consisting of the damper and diagonal bracing, which was coupled to a nonlinear analytical model of the remaining part of the structure (i.e., the moment resisting frame). A tracking indictor is used to track the actuator ability to achieve the command displacement during a test, enabling the quality of the test results to be assessed. An extension of the testbed to the real-time hybrid testing of smart structures with semi-active dampers is described.

The Internet of things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computed devices, digital machines and any physical objects which are provided with unique identifiers and the potential to transmit data to people or machine (M2M) without requiring human interaction. IoT devices can be used to monitor and control the electrical and electronic systems used in different fields like smart home, smart city, smart healthcare and etc. In this study we introduce four imaginary IoT devices as a learning support assistants according to students' dominant learning styles measured by Honey and Mumford Learning Styles: Activists, Reflectors, Theorists and Pragmatists. This research emphasizes the association between students' strong learning styles and a preference to appropriate IoT devices with specific characteristics. Moreover, different levels of IoT devices' architecture are clearly explained in this study where all the artificial devices are designed based on this structure. Data analysis of experiment were measured by the use of chi square test for association and research results showed the statistical significance of the estimated model and the impacts of each category over the model where we finally got accurate estimates for our research variables. This study revealed the importance of considering the students' dominant learning styles before inventing a new IoT device.

Since the world entered the age called "Smart Revolution", there has also been a lot of changes in the field of education. In educational environment, there is a growing interest in smart learning based on mobile contents, with the development of Smart Devices and ubiquitous technology. This paper is about a research on what effects smart learning has on leaner side when learners make active use of mobile contents in this age of Smart Revolution. First, we embodied teaching plans for some practical classes in forms of mobile contents using M-bizmaker. After the learning process based on the embodied contents for students, we analyzed the survey results on 4 sections-their use of apps, screen composition, technical support, interactions. We also studied the results of a questionnaire on 4 sections-contents, information offering, feedback systems, learner assessment-to evaluate their satisfaction. The research suggests that learner satisfaction can be improved with smart learning based on mobile contents embodied for leaners.

A lot of electrical energy is used in our daily life. While energy saving concerns are overall, consumption practices of people in general are very different. People want to control their energy use and by knowing the amount of energy they use. Smart plug is a new device that measures electricity usage through each plug at an outlet with on/off control. User experience for electrical devices in regards to electricity usage should be newly designed. In this study, based on the survey, personas have been devised and their energy use experience in relation with smart plugs have been designed. Service models have been designed as well. By designing service with smart plug, user could enhance the experience of energy usage and saving and energy consumption practices could be improved in a sustainable manner.

We introduce, in this paper, a novel approach of protection mechanism for data which are transmitted not only between the networked devices but also between the digital media devices. As the devices are getting more powerful and more storage capacity, they can process the encoded/encrypted data autonomously. However, all devices must know the secret key that used to encrypt data, and also use secure method to distribute that key. Moreover, there are no protection mechanisms supporting end-to-end copy protection which result in the fact that the data passed through various devices can be manipulated or captured. Therefore, we propose a RFID-based key distribution and protection mechanism to resolve these problems.

1인가구의 급증과 스마트 디바이스 사용의 증가로 1인가구 중심의 컨텍스트 분석과 1인가구 제품에 대한 구체적인 디자인 방향성이 필요한 실정이다. 기존 연구들은 1인가구와 다인가구의 구분없이 스마트 디바이스의 전반적인 컨텍스트에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. 하지만 1인가구는 다인가구에 비해 가족 구성원수와 연령 분포, 주거 공간의 차이가 있기 때문에 스마트 디바이스에 대한 차별화된 행태를 분석해야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 실제 1인가구의 스마트 디바이스 사용 환경을 조사 범위로 한정 짓고, 기존의 포괄적인 컨텍스트의 정의를 사용자의 상황을 중심으로 한정지어 정리하였다. 그리고 구체적이고 실증적인 연구 결과를 위해 사용자 리서치를 통해 나온 Contextual Task를 통하여 Consolidated Flow Model을 구축하였다. 이는 1인가구의 물리적 공간 보장, 효율성, 라이프스타일 반영, 안전성 보장 등의 인터랙션 특징을 나타내고 있다.

Wearable devices, attached to the human body, track and enhance users' activities, health, and communication. Therefore, considering ergonomic factors in product design is crucial. However, previous research has somewhat overlooked the importance of integrating ergonomic design elements into a broad spectrum of design factors. This study aims to examine the impact of physical attributes inherent in smart wristbands and smartwatches on the perceived functional value, specifically, perceived usefulness, ease of use, and fit. A survey was conducted among 289 US adults who had experience using smart wristbands or smartwatches. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, t-test, MANOVA, and regression analysis in SPSS version 29. The results showed that the shape of the front display significantly influenced perceived ease of use, and the product's weight had a substantial impact on both perceived ease of use and fit. Furthermore, distinct technical features on the front display had varied effects on perceived usefulness, ease of use, and fit. Notably, the presence of activity tracking, alarm, and calendar functionalities led to distinct differences in ease of use and fit. Features such as distance tracking, phone call, social media notifications, text messaging, and time display functions showed significant influences on the perception of fit. These findings provide insights into the physical values of smart wristbands and smartwatches as perceived by users.

최근 들어, 스마트 단말에서 지불, 인터넷 뱅킹 등 금융업무와 관련된 중요한 정보들을 다루는 경우가 많아졌다. 또한 스마트 단말의 실행환경이 공개 소프트웨어 환경 위주로 발전하면서, 사용자들이 임의의 응용소프트웨어를 다운받아 사용하는 것이 용이하게 됨에 따라, 스마트 단말이 보안적 측면에서 취약하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 하드웨어 기반의 스마트 단말 보안 기술의 특징을 알아본다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 스마트 단말 에서 실행되는 응용프로그램을 위한 MTM 하드웨어기반의 안전한 스마트 단말 실행환경에 대한 구현방법을 제안한다. 기존의 MTM 이 모바일 장치에 대한 신뢰의 근원 기능만을 제공한 반면, 본 논문에서 제시하는 MTM 기반 모바일 보안 환경은 모바일 장치에서 실행되는 응용프로그램이 필요로 하는 다양한 보안 기능을 제공할 수 있다. 향후, 보안 하드웨어와 연동이 가능한 IoT 기기와 게이트웨이 보안 기술, 그리고 보안 하드웨어를 활용하여 다양한 IoT 기기에 적용하여 신뢰성과 보안성을 확보하는 방안에 대한 연구를 진행할 예정이다.
