In this study an active RFID system of low power consumption is proposed, for which we improved the tag collection algorithm of ISO/IEC 18000-7 standard and significantly reduced the tag collection time. We classified the type of power consumption according to the operating mode of active RFID and proposed the method which can accurately estimate battery life time. By calculating the power consumptions of proposed and current methods, we can compare the battery life times of both methods. Through this analysis we can demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in battery life time.

In this paper, we studied on the thermal design of the active antenna system for stable performance considering thermal reliability. The active antenna has high performance and heat flux elements in T/R modules. Thermal heating of elements in T/R modules has to be dissipated effectively and the antenna has to be operated over the range of suggested temperature by the thermal design. T/R modules of high heat flux in the active antenna can be dissipated effectively by liquid cooling. In this study, we studied on the thermal design including the liquid cooling system to optimize the thermal performance of the active antenna. And the thermal design was verified by numerical analysis.

This paper presents a design and optimization of the fully-active transfemoral prosthesis leg system. As it has one degree of freedom in knee joint, this prosthesis leg can imitate the human's gait. The weight of system, which makes the users more comfortable due to less tiredness, and the knee joint torque to rise stability of the system are major factors of prosthesis leg system. Thus the mechanism of prosthesis changes from 3-linkage type to geared type. The sensorized foot is also designed to effectively determine human's gait by measuring deformation of the foot during gait. Topology optimization is carried out for the sensorized foot to remove its unnecessary weight. The safety of optimized foot is verified by carrying out finite element analysis.

In this study, the active exercise load control system was developed that monitors patient's muscular condition based on EMG signals and controls the load by biofeedback in real-time. In order to select appropriate muscular parameter for the system, the pre-exercise test was performed to obtain EMG signals from healthy 12 males. Subsequently, the main exercise test was performed to evaluate the active exercise load control system based on IEMG: a selected muscular parameter, on healthy 10 males without musculoskeletal disorder. The accuracy and availability of developed system were confirmed through observing changes between exercise load and IEMG. A correlation was analyzed between the fatigue of muscles and RPE indicating the individual subjective fatigue. As a result, the active exercise load control system that was suggested in this study could be useful to control the initial load-balancing and the amount of exercise appropriate for individual in rehabilitation exercise therapy.

Recently, wireless networks are becoming an important infrastructure for the critical large-scale applications such as cyber-physical systems and next generation industrial automations. However, the fundamental performance uncertainty of wireless networks may incur the serious instability problem of the overall systems. This paper proposes the proactive network optimizer to guarantee the application demands without any real-time link monitoring information of the networks. In particularly, the proposed proactive optimizer is the cross-layer approach to jointly optimize the routing path and traffic distribution in order to guarantee the performance demand within a maximum k number of link faults. Through the simulations, the proposed proactive network optimizer provides better robustness than the traditional existing reactive networks. Furthermore, the proactive network does not expose to the major weakness of the reactive networks such as the performance degradation due to the erroneous link monitoring information and the network reconfiguration cost.

In this paper, equivalent models for active control devices are proposed so that building structures with such devices are analyzed using commercial structural analysis programs for the assessment of the structural members under active vibration control. Equivalent link models represent active control device with a virtual linear spring and dashpot, and equivalent force models are control force history acting at the installation point in structural models. Active controllers are designed based on the reduced-order models for a vertical cantilever model and a high-rise building model and corresponding equivalent models are determined from control gain matrices. Based on acceleration, displacement and member force responses, the effectiveness of the equivalent models is verified. As a result, proposed equivalent models, of which equivalent link model showed better performance, appear to enable detailed investigation of structural behavior to the extent of member force level.

Unreadable Khitan scripts of ancient documents written by indian ink on parchment(sheepskin) are visualized by active infrared thermography without contacting and damaging the document which are deteriorated and aged presumably over many years. Sinusoidal infrared thermal wave using Halogen lamp is applied to the surface of the document in order to selectively magnify and record the thermal response of indian ink. The infrared image of the document captured in real time by infrared camera under the active external excitation shows the better sharpness and readability of Khitan characters than the optical image, from which many Khitan letters like ' ' and ' ' sounding as 'd' and 'ri' in English alphabet are detected and deciphered. It is concluded from the experiment that the active infrared thermography can be used as a promising method for digital reconstruction and preservation of ancient documents in the future.

This paper proposes the highly miniaturized active $90^{\circ} power combiner for application to MMIC. Conventional passive $90^{\circ} power combiners can't be integrated on MMIC because of their very larger size. Therefore, the highly miniaturized $90^{\circ} power combiners are required for a development of highly integrated MMIC. For this paper, the highly miniaturized active $90^{\circ} power combiner employing InGaP/GaAs HBT was fabricated on GaAs substrate for application to highly integrated MMIC. A size of fabricated active $90^{\circ} power combiner was $2.42{\times}1.05$ mm, which was 2.2 % of conventional passive $90^{\circ} power combiner. The fabricated active $90^{\circ} power combiner showed a gain characteristic about 10 dB and a good phase-difference coupling characteristic of $-92.6^{\circ} than conventional passive $90^{\circ} power combiner at 2.4 GHz. The highly miniaturized active $90^{\circ} power combiner exhibited good RF performances comparable to conventional passive $90^{\circ} power combiners. This work is the first report of an active $90^{\circ} power combiner.
