In a ubiquitous computing environment, people more and more become to use multiple displays. When using such ubiquitous displays, it is needed for users to seamlessly interact with the displays for a certain content. In this paper, we propose a seamless interface that allows users to see photos across multiple displays. Many photos can be displayed on a screen at the same time because they are shown in 3D space. And a group of photos is represented using a cube metaphor. A user can manipulate photos directly using a touch screen and also see the photos continuously using PDAs when the user moves to other places. In addition, the user can interact with the photos seamlessly using another display. The developed system was designed to interact according to user's movements and not to draw user's attention too much as a kind of ambient display. Using RFID and ultrasonic sensors it recognizes a user and the user's proximity to the display, and then automatically determines the screen image and the user interface accordingly.

The electric and magnetic fields radiated by lightning discharges are significantly changeable in amplitude and time, one of the topics concerning electromagnetic compatibility of modern electronic systems is the efficient and economic protection against transient voltages caused by not only by direct but also by nearly lightning strokes. In this paper, in order to obtain the detailed informations about lightning electromagnetic impulse waveforms, the electric and magnetic fields radiated by lightning discharges in the summer of 1995 were measured by a fast electric antenna and a loop-type magnetic field sensor, and their charac- teristics were presented and analyzed. The signals of the electric and magnetic fields were re- corded continuously by a transient digitizer having a resolution of 12 bit and a memory capacity of 5000 point and using a sampling time of 200 ns. The electric and magnetic field waveforms associated with lightning return strokes are significantly different with those of intracloud discharges. The magnetic fields radiated by intracloud lightning discharges have essentially the same waveforms as the electric field when the lightning discharhes are at distance of 50 km or more. Also the main frequency components of the electric and magnetic fields radiated by lightning discharges range from a few kHz to several hundred kHz.

Improvements in characteristics of a single junction AlGaAs/GaAs solar cell are observed by capping a PMMA lens on it. In order to show the effect of the lens, characteristics of a single junction AlGaAs/GaAs solar cell before and after the lens formation are compared under the one-sun illumination condition ($100mW/cm^2$). Characteristics of the solar cell under very weak illumination condition (about 1200 lux) is also measured with the lighting of a fluorescent desk lamp. About 5% of cell efficiency is improved after the capping of PMMA lens on the single junction AlGaAs solar cell and $83\;{\mu}m/cm^2$ of electrical power was generated with the lighting of a desk lamp.

Routing schemes that service applications with various delay times, maintaining the long network life time are required in wireless sensor & actor networks. However, it is known that network lifetime and hop count of trees used in routing methods have the tradeoff between them. In this paper, we propose a Pareto Ant Colony Optimization algorithm to find the Pareto tree set such that it optimizes these both tradeoff objectives. As it enables applications which have different delay times to select appropriate routing trees, not only satisfies the requirements of various multiple applications but also guarantees long network lifetime. We show that the Pareto tree set found by proposed algorithm consists of trees that are closer to the Pareto optimal points in terms of hop count and network lifetime than minimum spanning tree which is a representative routing tree.

Sensor networks deployed in battlefields to support military operations or deployed in natural habitats to monitor the rare wildlifes must take account of protection of the location of valuable assets(i.e., soldiers or wildlifes) from an adversary or malicious tracing as well as the security of messages in transit. In this paper we propose a routing protocol GSLP(GPSR-based Source-Location Privacy) that is capable of enhancing the location privacy of an active source node(i.e., message-originating node) in the presence of multiple dormant sources(i.e., nodes lying nearby an asset whose location needs to be secured). Extended is a simple, yet scalable, routing scheme GPSR(greedy perimeter stateless routing) to select randomly a next-hop node with a certain probability for randomizing paths and to perform perimeter routing for detouring dormant sources so that the privacy strength of the active source, defined as safety period, keeps enhanced. The simulation results obtained by increasing the number of dormant sources up to 1.0% of the total number of nodes show that GSLP yields increased and nearly invariant safety periods, while those of PR-SP(Phantom Routing, Single Path), a notable existing protocol for source-location privacy, rapidly drop off as the number of dormant sources increases. It turns out that delivery latencies of GSLP are roughly less than two-fold of the shortest path length between the active source and the destination.

The Sonoran Desert, which is located in North America, has been frequently used for vicarious calibration of many optical sensors in satellites. Although the desert area has good conditions for vicarious calibration (e.g. high reflectance, little vegetation, large area, low precipitation), its adjacency to the sea and large variability in atmospheric water vapor are the disadvantages for vicarious calibration. For vicarious calibration using top-of-atmospheric (TOA) reflectance, the atmospheric variability brings about degraded precision in vicarious calibration results. In this paper, the location with the smallest radiometric variability in TOA reflectance is sought by using 12-year Landsat 5 data, and corrected the TOA reflectance for bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) which is another major source of variability in TOA reflectance. Experiments show that the mid-western part of the Sonoran Desert has the smallest variability collectively for visible and near-infrared bands, and the variability from the sunarget-sensor geometry can be reduced by the BRDF correction for the visible bands, but not sufficiently for the infrared bands.

A three-dimensional (3D) porous polyaniline (PANI) film was fabricated by a combined photo-and soft-lithography technique based on a large-area nanopillar array, followed by a controlled chemical dilute polymerization. The as-obtained 3D PANI film consisted of hierarchically interconnected PANI nanofibers, resulting in a 3D hierarchical nanoweb film with a large surface and open porous structure. Using electrochemical measurements, the resulting 3D PANI film was demonstrated as a flexible pH sensor electrode, exhibiting a high sensitivity of 60.3 mV/pH, which is close to the ideal Nernstian behavior. In addition, the 3D PANI electrode showed a fast response time of 10 s, good repeatability, and good selectivity. When the 3D PANI electrode was measured under a mechanically bent state, the electrode exhibited a high sensitivity of 60.4 mV/pH, demonstrating flexible pH sensor performance.

In this paper, resistance temperature detector (RTD) integrated into the LED package is proposed in order to solve the temperature dependence of LED's optical properties. To measure the package temperature in real time, the RTD type temperature sensor having excellent accuracy and linearity between temperature change and resistance change was adopted. A stable metallic film is required for long term reliability and stability of the RTD type temperature sensor. Therefore, deposition and annealing condition for the film were determined. Based on the determined condition, the RTD type temperature sensor with the sensitivity of about $1.560{\Omega}/^{\circ}C$ was fabricated inside the LED package. In order to configurate the LED package system keeping the constant brightness regardless of the temperature, additional conversion circuit and control circuit boards were fabricated and added to the fabricated LED package. The proposed system was designed to compensate the light intensity caused by temperature change using the variable duty rate of driving current. As a result, the duty rate of PWM signal which is the output signal of the configurated system was changed with the temperature change, and the duty rate was similarly varied with the target duty rate. Consequently, it was focused the fabricated RTD can be used for compensating the optical properties of LED and the LED package which exhibits constant brightness regardless of the temperature change.

In this paper, we design and implement a bus information notification application based on the GPS sensor of a smartphone. This application provides the ability to check bus stops within a radius of 200m based on the current user's location using the smartphone's GPS sensor, Google Map, and open API. In addition, if you click the marker of the desired stop, you can see the name of the stop, and click the view arrival information button to check the detailed bus arrival information of the stop. In addition, it provides a function to check the location information of pharmacies, nonghyups, and post offices that sell public masks, the names of public mask stores, and mask inventory through the public mask store button. Each icon was used differently to make visual differences in order to easily indicate the difference between the times of public mask sales and bus stops. In addition, if you want to know the information of other bus stops and the route of the desired bus, not around the user's location, click the bus stop search button. Finally, after storing the destination stop or location, it implements a function that provides an alarm when it approaches the location.
