The existing algorithms or programs of egress time estimations rule out the walking velocity of each single person. But this algorithm can not be applied to estimation of evacuation in a hospital, because most patients are handicapped or walking on various kinds of tools. This study measured the moving velocities of patients according to different types of physical handicap. Also evacuation drills in several hospitals were carried out to establish an algorithm for prediction of total egress time of wards. Besides these measurements awareness of staffs about safety was investigated with the questionnaire. The results of this study is divided into two serial papers.

One of major services for the next generation mobile satellite system will be multimedia broadcasting and multi-casting service(MBMS). An integrated satellite and terrestrial network can be considered to provide those services seamlessly and cooperatively. This paper presents efficient cooperative transmission architectures for integrated satellite and terrestrial network. First, an integrated satellite and terrestrial system architectures is introduced, and several cooperative transmission architectures for the integrated system are derived. Extensive performance simulation results reveal that the proposed architectures can improve the system performance and make an efficient transmission.

This paper evaluates the performance and effectiveness of a layered coding scheme for an integrated mobile satellite systems, where the main target services are multimedia broadcasting and multicasting services (MBMS). In this integrated system, the satellite and complementary ground components (CGC) cooperate to provide high quality services. A layered coding scheme is a receiver driven adaptive schemes which adapts to the channel condition at the receiver. In this paper, we introduce a layered turbo coding scheme, and evaluates the performance in various scenarios, and discuss its effectiveness. The demonstrated results in the paper can be utilized in order to design an efficient integrated mobile satellite system, in the future.

This paper computes the economic impact of handset subsidies using the recent Input-Output Tables and compares the results with other alternatives which telecommunications companies can choose. The first scenario is that telecommunications companies give handset subsidies to consumers and sales agents. The second is that the companies do not give the subsidies to them, but instead spend the same amount of subsidy on facility investment. The third is that the companies lower the prices of their mobile communications services and consumers spend the saved expenses on other goods and services. The result is that the production, value added, import, job, employment inducement coefficients of the first scenario is larger than those of the second and third scenarios. The reason is as follows. The handset subsidy results in the incentive to consumers for handset purchase or the incentive for sales agents to sell the telecommunication services of the companies. The former has larger production and import inducement effect, and the latter also has larger value-added, job, and employment inducement effect than those of other scenarios.

Hard disks have been the most prevalent secondary storage devices and these days their usage is becoming more important in mobile computing systems due to I/O intensive applications such as multimedia applications and games. However, significant power consumption in the disk drives still limits battery lifetimes of mobile systems critically. In this paper, we show that using several smaller disks (instead of one large disk) can be an energy-efficient secondary storage solution on typical mobile platforms without a significant performance delay. Also, we propose a novel energy-efficient technique, which clusters related data into groups and migrates the correlated groups to the same disk. We compare this method with the existing data concentration scheme, and also combine them. The experiments show that our technique saves the energy consumption up to 34% when a pair of 1.8' disks is used instead of a single 2.5' disk with a negligible increase in the average response time. The results also show that our method also saves up to 14.8% of disk energy consumption and improve the average I/O response time by up to 10 times over the existing scheme.

The main goal of existing mobile robot system was a complete autonomous navigation and the vision information was just used as an assistant way such as monitoring For this reason, the researches have been going towards sophistication of autonomousness gradually and the production costs also has been risen. However, it is also important to control remotely an inexpensive mobile robot system which has no intelligence at all. Such systems may be much more effective than fully autonomous systems in practice. Visual information from a simple camera and distance information from ultrasonic sensors are used for this system. Collision avoidance becomes the most important problem for this system. In this paper, we developed a force feedback joystick to control the robot system remotely with collision avoiding capability. Fuzzy logic is used for the algorithm in order to implement the expert s knowledge intelligently. Some experimental results show the force feedback joystick werks very well.

This paper presents a bulk insertion technique for efficiently inserting data items. Traditional moving object database focused on efficient query processing that happens mainly after index building. Traditional index structures rarely considered disk I/O overhead for index rebuilding by inserting data items. This paper, to solve this problem, describes a new bulk insertion technique which efficiently induces the current positions of moving objects and reduces update cost greatly. This technique uses buffering technique for bulk insertion in spatial index structures such as R-tree. To analyze split or merge node, we add a secondary index for information management on leaf node of primary index. And operations are classified to reduce unnecessary insertion and deletion. This technique decides processing order of moving objects, which minimize split and merge cost as a result of update operations. Experimental results show that this technique reduces insertion cost as compared with existing insertion techniques.

스마트폰이나 노트북 등 무선 단말기는 가까운 AP를 통하여 인터넷에 접속하게 된다. 만약 이 무선 단말기가 이동하여 이전의 AP와 멀어지고 새로운 AP에 다가가면 이 단말기는 AP를 변경하는 절차를 따라야하는데 이를 핸드오버라 한다. 핸드오버가 일어날 때 새로운 AP에서는 이동 단말기가 정당한 것인지를 검증하여 끊김 없는 통신 환경을 제공한다. 이 논문에서는 끊김 없는 핸드오버 환경 구현을 목표로 하는 연구과제에 연구 보조원으로 참여하여 여러 번의 수행착오를 거쳐 터득한 공개 소프트웨어 기반 인증 서버 구축 과정을 발표한다.

플래시 메모리는 다양한 임베디드 시스템에서의 사용 빈도가 높으며, 특히 소형 정보기기의 보조기억장치로 빈번히 쓰이고 있으며, 이동형 정보기기의 경우 배터리를 사용하고 이동성이 중시되기 때문에 사용 중 전력 중단이나 외부의 충격, 환경에 많은 영향을 받게 된다. 플래시 메모리의 효율적인 오류관리를 위해서는 파일 시스템의 사용이 필요한데, 오류 발생시에 빠른 마운팅과 복구는 필수적인 요소가 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 JFFS(1)의 다른 NAND 플래시 파일 시스템에 적합한 구조를 설명하고, 실험을 통해 성능을 평가함으로써 NAND 플래시 메모리에 적용하기에 적합한 저널링 방범을 제안한다.

엘리베이터는 산업의 발전과 각종 건물의 고도화와 더불어 발전하여 왔다. 엘리베이터는 사람 또는 화물을 수송할 수 있는 카를 전동기를 통하여 견인하는 방식으로, 이동하는 카 내부에 전등 부하를 비롯한 공조시설, 제어설비 등 다양한 부하들이 존재한다. 지금까지의 엘리베이터는 전선을 사용하여 움직이는 카에 전원을 공급하는 방식을 사용함으로 부대설비가 복잡하여 지고 시공상에 어려움이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 부대설비를 간소화하고 유지보수의 편리함을 제공하기 위하여 비접촉 전원장치를 이용한 이동하는 카에 전원을 공급하는 방식을 제안하고, 비접촉 전원장치에 사용되는 인버터와 변압기를 설계하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.
