As the mobile computers such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) or Smart Phone has been widespread in our daily life, the demand of an extensive data input will gradually be increased. Consequently, many alternative soft keyboards have been proposed to satisfy this requirement. However none of them can provide an absolute solutions for that, the segregated guideline for keyboard arrangement and usage still cause much confusion to the user. Therefore, an integrated guideline is seriously required. In order to come up with the integrated guideline for Korean Soft keyboard GUI, the questionnaire and the experimental test compared with five soft keyboards were conducted in this study. As a result this paper presents five guidelines for improving an input speed of soft keyboard on the mobile computing; following familiarity for effective screen use, using a single key rather than grouping key, considering position of prediction word, considering prompt feedback, finally, considering optimized keyboard size.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of ARQ-aided Time Switched Transmit Diversity (ARQ-TSTD) applying the multi-level control signaling in the WCDMA LCR-TDD system. Proposed ARQ-TSTD system applies the multi-level control signaling scheme in which the receiver sends the response signal (ACK or NACK signal) to the transmitter and defines NACK2 signal for multi-level control. Transmitter utilize the NACK2 control signal to the postponement of transmission and multi-user scheduling scheme proposed by this paper. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed postponement of transmission and multi-user scheduling scheme yield about 1.3dB, 1.4dB performance gain respectively, compared with the conventional ARQ-TSTD with antenna switching scheme in tenn of the frame error rate (FER) for mobile speed of 3km/h and FER value of 10%. In addition, 14% and 11.5% of throughput gain respectively is shown when Eb/N0=-3dB.

An interactive wireless-game device based on multi-channel electromyogram has been developed to help rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia. The device is able to provide a visual feedback and rehabilitation motivations to the patients. The game contents were made according to the number of applied channels and, their level and speed can also be controlled depending on the recovery states of patients. Patient satisfaction survey was conducted to evaluate the necessity and usefulness of the proposed device after playing the game. The results show that the proposed system is expected to give hemiplegia patients exciting and effective rehabilitation chances, if more diverse and specialized rehabilitation games are developed.

Duties required for naval ship such as anti-submarine, anti-ship, and supply, etc are diversified, so the ECS (Enfineering Control System) is required for executing the mission effectively. The ECS monitors and controls the propulsion system in order that naval ship can perform the mission. As the in-country development of ECS is progressed, a test system for ECS is needed, and a naval ship propulsion system simulator based on CODOG was developed on this study. The naval ship propulsion system simulator based on CODOG which is divided into gas turbine model, diesel engine model, reduction gear model and controllable pitch propeller model, simulates to feedback of control commands of ECS. As a result of the experiment, it is able to confirm speed, torque and power, etc. of the gas turbine, diesel engine and shaft according to ECS propulsion mode.

A simple AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) technique using ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) for a MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) system is proposed which does not require the additional feedback. In addition, the proposed AMC technique is different from the conventional technique in the aspect of considering the MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) level from the previous packet. The proposed technique can discard fewer amounts of unsuitable packets than the conventional technique. In the proposed system not only same rate control method for transmit antennas but also individual rate control method can be applied. The performance of the proposed technique is verified under a MIMO-OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system based on WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), IEEE 802.11a. The results of the computer simulation show that a MIMO system with the proposed technique achieves higher throughput than one with a fixed transmission rate.

Small PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell systems do not require humidification and have great commercialization possibilities. However, methods for controlling small PEM fuel cell stacks have not been clearly established. In this paper, a control method for small PEM fuel cell systems using a dual closed loop with a static feedforward structure is defined and realized using a DSP (Digital Signal Processor). The fundamental elements that need to be controlled in fuel cell systems include the supply of air and hydrogen, water management inside the stack, and heat management of the stack. For small PEM fuel cell stacks operated without a separate humidifier, fans are essential for air supply, heat management, and water management of the stack. A purge valve discharges surplus water from the stack. The proposed method controls the fan using double control loops to quicken transient response of the fan thereby improving the supply rate of air. Feedback control to compensate for the voltage change in fuel cell stack improves the response characteristics in fuel cell to load variations. The feasibility of proposed method was proved by the experiments with a 60W small PEM fuel cell system and operation of a notebook computer using this system.

This study aims to investigate the dynamic interaction characteristics between Maglev vehicles and an elevated guideway. A more detailed model for the dynamic interaction of the vehicle/guideway is proposed. The proposed model incorporates a 3D full vehicle model based on prototyping, flexible guideway by a modal superposition method, and levitation electromagnets including the feedback controller into an integrated model. The proposed model was applied to an urban transit Maglev developed for a commercial application to analyze the dynamic response of the vehicle and guideway, and the effect of the surface roughness of the rail, mid-span guideway deflections, and air gap variations are then investigated from the numerical simulation.

The object of our research is to design and to embody the learning system of numerical concept for the mathematic loaming disabilities. The existing system for the learning disabilities was a simple repeating practice system, repeating the same learning contents to obtain the skill, ignoring the learner's disability situation. This bears a problem that the interest and motivation in the learning media will reduce as the learning goes on. This loaming system offers the learning process of numerical concept by showing an animation file of a real life and offering a concrete mouse manipulating practice environment, so as to maintain the motivation of the learner, giving an instant compensation and feedback. If this system are used in directing the learning disabilities, it will help them to stay motivated and to create a positive teaming attitude by a variety level learning system, supporting suitable speed and learning contents for the learning disabilities individuals.

In this paper, a VR-based cyber hiking system was designed to provide virtual reality for famous mountains that can offer the real senses and feelings of hiking in supporting environmental factors of actual mountains such as the temperature, air, sound, echoes, etc., of the mountain the user wants to climb. The VR-based cyber hiking system that reflects real-time site conditions is largely consisted of the data collection module that collects data from the live site, multiple drive modules that enables the user to feel real senses using data from the sites, and sensor module to detect the stimuli provided by the drive modules and the user's physical body transition. Unlike existing VR-based hiking systems, the proposed cyber hiking system not only provides simple virtual reality for the wanted mountain, but can also provide the natural conditions of real mountains and implement the uphill and downhill of hiking routes. In particular, it has the effect of providing fun and game elements to users by excluding unnecessary conditions and risks that may arise in actual hiking and instead supporting augmented realities such as squirrels on actual hiking paths. In addition, in providing users with the changes in their body before and after hiking, it is expected to be effective in providing diverse feedback such as the height, gradient, and speed of mountain hiking.
