In this paper, a reconfigurable peripheral unit for LED lighting communication is presented. Embedded lighting devices require various communication protocols. Usually, serial communication protocols and lighting control communication protocols such as DALI, DMX512, UART, SPI, IrDA, etc. are used in lighting devices. When the requirements of communication protocols are satisfied with separate IPs, the cost and the power consumption can considerably increase. We propose a reconfigurable communication peripheral unit which uses analysis of signal formats of the protocols. The gate count of the reconfigurable peripheral unit uses only 57% of the gate count of the separate implementation. Also, in this paper, a mapping table based DALI-ZigBee interfacing method for flexible lighting network configurations is proposed. Using this method, various DALI-ZigBee network systems can be easily set up. An LED lighting system platform is implemented to verify the operation of the DALI-ZigBee interfacing method. The reconfigurable peripheral unit and the DALI-ZigBee interfacing method can be efficiently used to implement various wired/wireless lighting communication systems.

최근 IT 기술의 급격한 발전으로 개인정보, 환경 등 다양한 정보를 수시로 수집 및 관리하면서 사용자가 원할시 즉각적인 정보서비스를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 유 무선상의 데이터 전송은 정보의 도청, 메시지의 위 변조 및 재사용, DoS(Denial of Service)등 외부의 공격으로부터 쉽게 노출된다. 이러한 외부 공격은 개인 프라이버시를 포함한 정보서비스 시스템 전반에 치명적인 손실을 야기 시킬 수 있기 때문에 정보보호 시스템의 필요성은 갈수록 그 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 현재까지 정보보호 시스템은 소프트웨어(S/W), 하드웨어(ASIC), FPGA(Field Progr- ammable Array) 디바이스를 이용하여 구현되었으며, 각각의 구현방법은 여러 가지 문제점이 있으며 그에 따른 해결방법이 제시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 환경에서의 정보보호 서비스를 제공하기 위한 재구성형 SoC 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 SoC는 비밀키 암호알고리즘(AES), 암호학적 해쉬(SHA-256), 공개키 암호알고리즘(ECC)을 수행 할 수 있으며, 마스터 콘트롤러에 의해 제어된다. 또한 정보보호 시스템이 요구하는 다양한 제약조건(속도, 면적, 안전성, 유연성)을 만족하기 위해 S/W, ASIC, FPGA 디바이스의 모든 장점을 최대한 활용하였으며, MCU와의 효율적인 통신을 위한 I/O 인터페이스를 제안한다. 따라서 제안된 정보보호 시스템은 기존의 시스템보다 다양한 정보보호 알고리즘을 지원할 뿐만 아니라 속도 및 면적에 있어 상충 관계를 개선하였기 때문에 저비용 응용뿐만 아니라 고속 통신 장비 시스템에도 적용이 가능하다.

This study inspects the fault of the vehicle forming assembly and the assembly state of components at high speed and high degree of precision. This study also proposes the general inspection system capable of adapting to a number of products. The inspection program is composed of the fault inspection algorithm to examine the surface of the object and the state of the assembly and the high speed procession algorithm for the real time examination. The fault inspection algorithm is processed largely by a method using average of pixel in ROI and a method dividing the area and checking the presence of the object. Lastly, we verified the efficiency of the sysytem through the evaluation of its accuracy and processing time.

This paper presents the parallel distributed control scheme for shaping of the bent glass. The designed system consists of a PC, a main controller and 11 servo-controllers, the precision motion controllers. Each elements are connected by using RS-232C and 8-bit data bus. In order to guarantee the stability and the control performance, we use a precision PID motion controller and a H-bridge on the servo-drivers. PC calculates position values of 11 DC motors by using the pre-determined curvature value and offers the user interface environment operator. The main controller provides the control instructions and parameter values to 11 servo-controllers by chip enable signal, simultaneously. Using the received commands and parameter values, the servo-controllers control the positions of the DC motors based on PID control scheme.

Implants for rhinoplasty should ideally be biocompatible and possess long-term stability after implantation. Silicone implants are most widely used for rhinoplasty. However, these implants suffer from problems related to high extrusion and infection rates. To minimize these complications, we propose a novel augmentation rhinoplasty technique using tissue engineering. To demonstrate its feasibility, a nasal-implant-shaped scaffold was designed using commercialized CAD software and fabricated using a Multi-head Deposition System, which is a solid freeform fabrication system that dispenses material. In vitro cell proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation tests were carried out using nasal septal chondrocytes.

Injection molding process is the manufacturing process that can obtain a high quality products in large quantity to a low cost. Since there are many input factors in every situation that can influence part's quality, the method is difficult to save the exact simulation data. Latest, it deals with the CAE method that supports the experiment, it is applied to the Design of Experiment for the optimum injection molding process. If there are many factors, the interaction among those factors must be considered by applying Design of Experiment which is taken from the technique of minimizing the number of experiment. Without a real test, it is taken the simulation data using $Moldflow^(R)$ software. $Moldflow^(R)$ is used for the analysis of injection molding process, it is analyzed the factors that affect a warpage using the Taguchi method and then the optimal injection molding process is obtained.

Carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials have been widely used in various industrial fields, but there are limits to increasing their strength and stiffness, because of the short-length fibers that are impregnated in them. In this study, a lab-scale small extruder system was developed with the capability to perform the carbon fiber impregnation and extrusion process in order to evaluate the properties of long-length carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials molded by the LFT-D method. Specimens were made with the small extruder to press-mold long-length carbon fiber composite materials and evaluate their material properties. As a result, it was found that the carbon fiber length, press load and carbon fiber contents have a considerable influence on the strength and stiffness. Additional studies on such factors as the mixing screw design and coating of the carbon fiber are needed in order to improve the mechanical properties of carbon fiber composite materials.

Multicarrier DS-CDAM is an effective approach to realize wideband CDMA system in a multipath fading channeal. In this paper, we propose a cinvolutionally-coded overlapped multicarrier DS-CDMA system, and show the performance improvement by comparing with conventional multicarrier DS-CDMA system. We consider the case of 50% overlapping with the adjacent subband to utilize the transmission bandwidth more efficiently. In the proposed multicarrier system, each of the rate 1/M convolutionally-encoded symbols is also 1/R repetition coded and transmitted using overlapped multicarriers and we may obtain the coding gain and frequency diversity effect, simultaneously. We also analyze the possibility of reduction in total MUI by considering a raised-cosine wave-shaping filter having a roll-off factor (0< ${\beta}{\le}1$). It will be shown that the proposed system outperforms the multicarrier DS-CDMA system in $^{[3]}$.

Selected physical properties of cornmeal extrudates fortified with dairy products and extrusion process by $CO_2$ gas injection were analysed. Dairy products including whole milk powder, whey protein concentrate non-fat dry milk, and sodium caseinate were tested at the addition of 10% and 20%, based on cornmeal weight. $CO_2$ gas was injected to the barrel at the pressure of 0.7 and 1.4 MPa. Specific mechanical energy (SME) input was decreased by the addition of dairy products. Sodium caseinate had a little effect on decreasing the SME input, however whole milk powder tremendously reduced SME input when the concentration increased. An increase in milk product content resulted in increasing the piece density at the injection pressure of 0.7 MPa. At both 10% and 20% milk product content, the piece density was lowest at the injection pressure of 0.7 MPa. The sectional expansion index was highest at the injection pressure of 0.7 MPa. However, the specific length was constantly increased with the increase in $CO_2$ injection pressure. Water absorption index was decreased and water solubility index was increased by the addition of milk products. The injection pressure of $CO_2$ was optimum at 0.7 MPa. The addition of whole milk powder limited to puff the melt, but the other milk products tested resulted in puffing with $CO_2$ injection to 1.4 MPa.
