The Bluetooth wireless technology is the new short-range RF transmission standard for low-power, low-cost, short-range radio links between mobile devices and electric product. The technology can eliminate the confusion of cables, connectors and protocols confounding communications between devices. Mobile phones, pagers, laptops, PDAs, digital cameras and more, all now have a common structure for communicating across their product platforms. In this paper, we present the Bluetooth protocol stack and headset profiles for the communication between mobile phone and headset. And then, we construct application software which is embedded in the device that operates an application over the Bluetooth protocol stack Next we implement wireless headset using MSP430, not real time operating system.

VLSI intergrated circuits like SOC(system on chip) often require a multi-clock design style for functional or performance reasons. The problems of the clock domain transition due to clock skew and clock ordering within a test cycle may result in wrong results. This paper describes a new BIST(Built-in Self Test) architecture for multi-clock systems. In the new scheme, a clock skew is eliminated by a multi-capture. Therfore, it is possible to perform at-speed test for both clock inter-domain and clock intra-domain.

These days, mobile embedded systems adopt flash memory capable of XIP feature since they can reduce memory usage, power consumption, and software load time. XIP provides direct access to ROM and flash memory for processors. However, using XIP incurs unnecessary degradation of applications' performance because direct access to ROM and flash memory shows more delay than that to main memory. In this paper, we propose a memory management framework, dynamic XIP, which can resolve the performance degradation of using XIP. Using a constrained RAM cache, dynamic XIP can dynamically change XIP region according to page access pattern to reduce performance degradation in execution time or energy consumption resulting from native XIP problem. The proposed framework consists of a page profiler gathering applications' memory access pattern using PMU and an XIP manager deciding that a page is accessed whether in main memory or in flash memory. The proposed framework is implemented and evaluated in Linux kernel. Our evaluation shows that our framework can reduce execution time at most 25% and energy consumption at most 22% compared with using XIP-only case adopted in general mobile embedded systems. Moreover, the evaluation shows that in execution time and energy consumption, our modified LRU algorithm with code page filters can reduce more than at most 90% and 80% respectively compared with applying just existing LRU algorithm to dynamic XIP.

When GPS (global positioning system) is used as synchronous signal in CDMA digital cellular base station system and high speed digital synchronous communication network, antenna cable length is increased, comparing with other GPS application such as positioning or car navigation. In this paper, it is proposed that a type of new GPS antenna system including RF stage for reduction of cable loss in case of long cable.The antenna system with TMPA(truncated-corners microstrip patch antenna) is designed and fabricated because GPS signal has RHCP (right-hand circular polarization), consequently antenna size can be made small size. LNA (low noise amplifier) is designed by using HEMT(high electron mobility transistor)which has lower noise figurae and better AGC characteristics at low voltage than GaAs FET, and we equiped mixer, in GPS antenna unit, which converts from 1575.42MHz to 75.42MHz. As result of comparing between typical system and proposed system when cable length is 60m, 63dB, 55dB and 25dB gain are obtained for RG-316/U, RG-58C/U and RG-213/U, and better characteristics are achieved than typical system as far as cable length is longer.

This study presents a prediction of a failure rate in a safety required system that consists of a embedded control system, requiring a satisfaction of a quantitative safety requirement. International Standards are employed to achieve a regular procedures in the whole life cycle of a system, for the purpose of a prediction and a evaluation of a fault that might be able to be happened in a system. This International Standards uses SIL (Safety Integrity Level) to evaluate a safety level of a system. SIL is divided into 4 levels, from level 1 to level 4, and each level has functional failure rate and dangerous failure rate of a system. In this paper we describe the conventional method to predict the dangerous failure rate and propose a method using hazard analysis to predict the dangerous failure rate. The conventional method and the technique using hazard analysis to predict the dangerous failure rate are made a comparison through the control modules of the interlocking system in KTX. The proposed method verify better effectiveness for the prediction of the dangerous failure rate than that of the conventional method.

The purpose of this study is to improve the machining of free-formed NURBS surfaces using newly defined G-codes which can directly deal with shapes defined from CAD/CAM programs on a surface basis and specialize in rough and finish cut. To this purpose, a NURBS surface interpolation system is proposed in this paper. The proposed interpolation system includes online tool-path planning, real-time interpolation and feedrate regulation considering an effective machining method and minimum machining time all suitable for unit NURBS surface machining. The corresponding algorithms are simultaneously executed in an online manner. The proposed NURBS surface interpolation system is integrated and implemented with a PC-based 3-axis CNC milling system. A graphic user interface (GUI) and a 3D tool-path viewer which interprets the G-codes for NURBS surfaces and displays whole tool-paths are also developed and included in our real-time control system. The proposed system is evaluated through actual machining in terms of size of NC data, machining time, regulation of feedrate and cutting force focused on finish cut in comparison with the existing method.

The existing electronic transaction protocol uses a cryptography algorithm that is not suitable for mobile environment because of limited memory and process ability. In this paper, we propose an efficient transaction protocol suitable for mobile embedded system. The proposed protocol reduces computation and process time by using ID-based cryptography algorithm and ECC (elliptic curve cryptosystem). It uses vendor authentication only in the first transaction, and from the second transaction, it requires transaction after authentication with session created by applying ECC technique. Therefore, the creation number of authentication for the vendor can be reduced from n to one. And it reduces process time because it provides the same security with 160 bits as with 1024 bits of RSA.

Humans must restore tired bodies and minds during sleep. Sleep as much as eating a meal many people looking for a hospital can not sleep, but a matter of course. The smart phone is loaded in the most recent studies it has been conducted to provide a service to the patient or medical personnel U-healthcare in the field of smart phone-based medical applications as with a variety of sensors, including an acceleration sensor. In this paper, the aim of providing an Android-based applications to use a variety of sensors incorporated in the popularity of smart phones to induce normal water flow to recognize the user's action.

Car Navigation System with Global Positioning System (GPS) can display position direction and the shortest cut of one's destination. The position datum for GPS in World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84) coordinates system need to transform Bessel coordinates system and process Map projection. Since 1987, GPS has used the WGS-84. WGS-84 is a geocentric equipotential ellipsoid of revolution which is defined four parameters. In this study, by comparing the digitized topographical map with the digital map of GPS datum we can consider the technique of WGS84 digital map.

최근 고도성장에 발맞추어 건축물의 에너지 효율등급 인증제를 실시하면서 외단열시스템(EIFS) 외장재 사용이 늘어나고 있으며, 건물의 외관상의 디자인을 중시하게 됨으로써 다양한 소재의 외장재를 적용하고 있다. 그러나 건축물의 내부 또는 외부에서 발생된 화재가 외장재를 통해 건물 전체로 확산되는 이른바 동시다발성 화재가 많이 발생하고 있다. 2010년 부산해운대의 고층건물에서 외장재를 통해 연소 확산된 화재가 발생하면서 건축물의 외장재의 관한 규제가 절실해졌다. 현재 국내 건축법과 소방법에는 내화구조 및 내장재에 관한 기준은 있지만 외장재에 관한 기준은 마련되어 있지 않다. 이에 현재 건축물 외장재의 법제화를 하기 위해서 많은 연구와 실험이 진행 중에 있다. 이런 노력에 앞서 현재 상용되는 외장재의 종류를 살펴보고 국내 건축물에 적용된 외장재에 대해서 알아보는 것이 이번 연구의 목적이다.
