Diverse types of meteorological disasters that are frequently occurring at the present time, such as urban flooding, draught, heat waves, or tropical nights do not only cause casualties and property damages but also make it difficult to preserve the natural environment of the city. That is why Low Impact Development or Green Infrastructure has recently received lots of attention as a means to minimize meteorological disasters, adapt to climate change and to leave a better urban environment for the next generation. As of now, Korea's low impact development and green infrastructure technology are standing at the stage of incubation or demonstration. Both central and provincial governments have accelerated the updating of laws and regulations, which allows us to turn the Gray City with Gray Infrastructure that only uses water into a Green City with Green Infrastructure that manages the water. To spread and distribute such a notion in a systemic way, it requires new technology development tailored to Korea, verification of technology, and maintenance of related technological standards, cooperation with other industries, training & promotion, and the participation of citizens.

The purpose of this study is to explore a safe, advanced, and environment-friendly demolition equipments and their operation methods. As an initial achievement, the capacity of the existing equipments have been evaluated through technical discussions and demonstrations with some experts in the related industry. From these evaluations, it was concluded that a haptic based remote control with force feed-back mechanism and sensor fusion functions would be the most appropriate to the demolition equipments. Therefore, a novel haptic device that is adequately designed for the demolition equipments is proposed in this paper. Top-down demolition method is also proposed, which is very effective in the demolition of high-rise buildings.

Wireless transmission of uncompressed video guarantees higher quality with lower latency than compressed video transmission. Although current wireless technologies cannot fully cover required data rates of about a few Gb/s for full high definition resolution, some wireless technologies such as ultra-wideband (UWB) provide 1 Gb/s data rate which is adequate for uncompressed video transmission in portable devices. In this paper, we propose an uncompressed video transmission system for wireless mirroring services in portable devices. We firstly simulated the performance of uncompressed video transmission using single or multiple 1 Gb/s UWB technology. Then we implemented hardware-based uncompressed video processing block and Gb/s wireless MAC accelerator. Finally, we show the implementation result and the demonstration of uncompressed HD video transmission using multiple 1 Gb/s UWB PHYs.

DIFs (Data Interchange Formats) are needed to enhance interoperability of physically distributed organizations in SBA (Simulation Based Acquisition) process. DIFs play a role as a template of DPDs (Distributed Product Descriptions) and provide capability to use information directly without data format interchange process by allowing access to DPDs, which include various information and M&S (Modeling & Simulation) resources. This characteristic is essential for interoperability in ICE (Integrated Collaborative Environment) based SBA. This paper proposes a framework for the DIF and outputs from each phase of acquisition process for configuration data related to design and manufacturing in SBA process - Conceptual Data Model, Logical Data Model, Physical Data Model and Physical DIF based on XML. Finally, we propose the DIF model architecture and demonstrate the implementation of DIF example based on it.

The core of the Fourth Industrial revolution, the topic of the 21st century, lies in the convergence of various technologies that are developing to the cutting edge. Therefore, convergence education is essential to solve problems from various perspectives. Above all, in order to solve the complex problem arising from the contact point between humans and technology in the future society, it was considered that insight through a humanities and artistic approach was necessary. Now, universities are trying to run a multidisciplinary comprehensive design to adapt to the new digital environment. In this study, an operation case of an engineering comprehensive design subject incorporating art operated by a researcher was described. The researcher presented an art convergence curriculum in a comprehensive design subject by applying 1. problem recognition and definition, 2. idea derivation and evaluation, 3. project development, 4. presentation, and demonstration process operation methods. Through this study, it is meaningful that it presented a method of operating art convergence in engineering comprehensive design subjects by allowing students to attempt an artistic aesthetic and emotional approach to project development.

Recent advances in computer technologies support real-time image processing and special effects on personal computers. This paper presents and analyzes a real-time interactive video system. The motivation of this work is to realize an artistic concept that aims at transforming the timeline visual variations in a video of sea water waves into sound in order to provide an audience with an experience of overlapping themselves onto the nature. In practice, the video of sea water waves taken on a beach is processed using an optical flow algorithm in order to extract the information of visual variations between the video frames. This is then masked by the silhouette of an audience and the result is projected on a gallery space. The intensity information is extracted from the resulting video and translated into piano sounds accordingly. This work generates an interactive space realizing the intended concept.

Research interest has strongly focused on developing a method for effectively transmitting bio-signals over a distance using a wireless wearable device. In this paper, we describe a procedure for the design and fabrication of a wearable antenna based on embroidering conductive threads to clothing capable of transmitting electrocardiogram signals. 3D electromagnetic simulation software and embroidery software were used to design and fabricate the conductive thread-based antenna, respectively. The measurement results show that the reflection coefficient of the fabricated antenna prototype exhibits excellent antenna impedance matching characteristics of less than -10dB in the Zigbee 2.4GHz frequency band. We also verified that the electrocardiogram data could be effectively received and monitored in real-time by a receiver 220m away from the transmitter.

This paper proposed colored front panel glass for Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems using multi-layered thin films composed of transition metal oxide (TMO) layers. Molybdenum oxide (MoO₃) and tungsten oxide (WO₃) provided complementary and suitable materials in making effective interference of reflected light from interfaces with significant difference in refractive indices. A simple, fast, and cheap fabrication method was achieved by depositing the multi-layer films in a single thermal evaporator. Magenta colored glass with optical transmittance of more than 90% was achieved with MoO₃ (60nm)/WO₃(100nm) multi-layered film. This technology could play in a critical role in commercial BIPV system applications.
