Recently, the complexity of underground utilities has increased and it has became more difficult to identify and manage information about all underground utilities due to changes such as road extension or building relocation. As a result, number of accidents related to underground utilities caused by excavation works or disasters are in rise, and naturally damages as well are increasing due to the accidents. Therefore, there is a need for a management system capable of easily registering or retrieving information of underground utilities from a remote place. In our previous work, we have developed a utility labelling system based on NFC (Near Field Communication) tag and a utility management system based on IoT (Internet of Things). However, in general, there are diverse communication devices and protocols in IoT environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose management system and IoT gateway that enables smooth communication even in different types of devices based on the previous our work.

The gate-biases of the Doherty power amplifier are controlled to improve the linearity performance. The linearity improvement mechanism of the Doherty amplifier is the harmonic cancellation of the carrier and peaking amplifier at the output power combining point. However, it is difficult to cancel the harmonic power for the broader power range because the condition for cancelling is varied by power. For the linearity improvement, we have explored the linearity characteristic of the Doherty amplifier according to the input power and gate biases of the carrier and peaking amplifier. To extend the region of harmonic power cancellation, we have injected the proper gate bias to the carrier and peaking amplifier according to the input power levels. To validate the linearity improvement, the Doherty amplifier is designed using Eudyna 10-W PEP GaN HEMT EGN010MKs at 2.345 GHz and optimized to achieve a high linearity and efficiency at an average output power of 33 dBm, backed off about 10 dB from the $P_{1dB}$. In the experiments, the envelope tracking Doherty amplifier delivers a significantly improved adjacent channel leakage ratio performance of -37.4 dBc, which is an enhancement of about 2.8 dB, maintaining the high PAE of about 26 % for the WCDMA 1-FA signal at an average output power of 33 dBm. For the 802.16-2004 signal, the amplifier is also improved by about 2 dB, -35 dB.

Purpose: Ejection fraction (EF) is one of the most important factors that evaluate heart function. Recently, according to echocardiography and myocardial perfusion SPECT, the number of gated blood pool scan (planar GBP) is declining. Measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction using gated blood pool SPECT (GBPS) is known as relatively correspond with echocardiography. We compared EF derived from plnar GBP, GBPS and echocadiography using modified simpson method to determine the accuracy. Materials and Methods: From January 2007 to June 2010, planar GBP and GBPS were performed on 34 patients who admitted to Pusan National University Hospital (men 23, women 11, mean age $52.6{\pm}27.2$). Each patient was injected with $^{99m}{TcO_4}^-$ of 20 mCi after pyrophosphate injection and then scanned using both planar GBP and GBPS techniques. For image analysis, we use ADAC Laboratories, Ver. 4.20 software. The result analyzed was processed by SPSS 17.0 Win statistic program and statistical method applied in data analysis is one-way anova, Tukey's post hoc test, pearson correlation test. Results: One-way anova test show no significant difference (planar GBP $56.3{\pm}13.9%$; GBPS $60.4{\pm}16.0%$; echocardiography $59.1{\pm}14.4%$, p=0.486, p>0.05). Tukey's post hoc test show no significant difference (planar GBP-echocardiography p=0.697; GBPS-echocardiography p=0.928; planar GBP-GBPS p=0.469, p>0.05). Values for EF obtained with planar GBP and GBPS correlated well with those obtained with echocardiography (planar-echocardiography r=0.697; GBPS-echocardiography r=0.928; planar GBP-GBPS r=0.469). Conclusion: The problems of accuracy and reproducibility for planar GBP still remain. But planar GBP is a safe and non-invasive method. In addition, planar GBP is useful to evaluate patient with low resolution echocardiography images. GBPS is not appicated clinically. but GBPS can be obtain various left ventricular functional parameters. planar GBP, GBPS and echocardiography show a good correlation between each other. Therefore, planar GBP and GBPS are useful for evaluating left ventricular ejection fraction.

Researchers nowadays are trying to implement u-Healthcare (ubiquitous Healthcare) systems for real-time monitoring and analysis of patients' status through a low-cost and low-power wireless sensor network. u-Healthcare system has an aim to provide reliable and fast medical services for patients regardless of time and space by transmitting to doctors a large quantity of vital signs collected from sensor networks. Existing u-Healthcare systems can merely monitor patients' health status. However, it is not easy to derive physiologically meaningful results by analyzing rapidly vital signs through the existing u-Healthcare systems. We introduce a Grid computing technology for deriving the results by analyzing rapidly the vital signs collected from the sensor network. Since both sensor network and Grid computing use different protocols, a gateway is needed. In addition, we also need to construct a gateway which includes the functions such as an efficient management and control of the sensor network, real-time monitoring of the vital signs and communication services related to the Grid network for providing u-Healthcare services effectively. In this paper, to build an advanced u-Healthcare system by using these two technologies most efficiently, we design and present the results to implement a SensorGrid gateway which connects transparently the sensor network and the grid network.

Home networking and Internet control technologies must satisfy three requirements with a view to being applied to home for raising the qualify of human life. Firstly, the cost of adding home networking ability to the traditional appliance must be minimized. Secondly, the mutual accessibility between home network and Internet must be guaranteed in the various Internet service environment of home. Finally, communication must be possible between the home network and the Internet that use different communications protocols. This paper proposes the ARCS (Appliance Remote Control System) that controls appliances based on LnCP (Living network Control Protocol) via the Internet. LnCP is the most cost-effective network and control protocol for home network. ARCS guarantees the accessibility from the Internet to home network and provides users with the virtual interface designed for controlling appliances using the Internet application program. In addition, this paper proposes AICS (Appliance Internet Control Specification). AICS, is based on LnCP, defines the message structure and control commands for the Internet control communication. ARCS and home gateway are developed to meet AICS.

In this study, we developed a Multi-level FeRAM (Ferroelectrics random access memory) device utilizing different ferroelectric materials and analyzed its operation through C-V analysis using simulations. To achieve Multi-level operation, we proposed an MFM (Multi-Ferroelectric Material) structure by depositing two different ferroelectric materials with distinct properties horizontally on the same bottom electrode and subsequently adding a gate electrode on top. By analyzing C-V peaks based on the polarization phenomenon occurring under different voltage conditions for the two materials, we confirmed the feasibility of achieving Multi-level operation, where either one or both of the materials can be polarized. Furthermore, we validated the process for implementing the proposed structure using semiconductor fabrication through process simulations. These results signify the significance of the new structure as it allows storing multiple states in a single memory cell, thereby greatly enhancing memory integration.

무선 메쉬 네트워크(WMN, Wireless Mesh Network)에서의 전체적인 성능은 채널의 간섭을 최소화함으로써 개선될 수 있다. 본 논문은 3개의 멀티 채널을 지원하는 IEEE 802.11b/g 기반 WMNs를 위해 제안된 클러스터 기반 채널 할당 기법인 CB-CA(Cluster-Based Channel Assignment)[3] 알고리즘을 멀티 라디오 멀티 채널 WMN 환경에 적합하게 개선시키고자 한다. CB-CA 알고리즘에서는 메쉬 라우터들중에 선택된 클러스터 헤드(CH, Cluster Head) 노드들과 클러스터들 간의 에지 게이트웨이(EG, Edge Gateway) 노드들 간에는 모두 동일 채널을 사용함으로써 채널 스캐닝과 채널 스위칭을 수행하지 않는다. 그러나 이러한 모든 CH들과 EG들 간의 동일 채널의 사용은 많은 노드들에서 채널 간섭을 발생 시키는 문제점이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 송수신 인터페이스를 구분하고 각 인터페이스에서의 채널을 랜덤하게 설정하고 이를 통신 범위 내에 인접한 이웃 클러스터들에게 알림으로써 서로 간섭이 발생하지 않는 채널들이 설정되도록 한다. 이로써 각 클러스터 간의 채널 간섭을 최소화 할 수 있음과 동시에 다중 인터페이스와 다중 채널을 모두 활용할 수 있어서 QoS를 향상시킬 수있다.
