In this paper, we analyze that co-channel interference mitigation algorithms MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error), OC (Optimal Combining), ML (Maximum Likelihood) using 2.4Ghz in WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) system. Also analyze that scenario and channel model by IEEE 802.15.6. ML gives the best performance for all simulation. ML and OC have high complexity than MMSE complexity, because these algorithms should be known channel information of interference users. So these algorithms are difficult to apply to WBAN. Therefore we will study the interference mitigation algorithm that should be accomplished trade-off of between efficiency and complexity.

In this paper, we present a novel time-synchronization method for distributed systems to measure the body motion. The distributed system scheme is considered because human data acquisition systems tend to have a centralized controller with sensors connected with a long range of electric wires running through the subject's body, which results in inconvenience. Utilizing simple key switches and digital input ports for reading the key, the proposed method requires a very simple hardware structure, which means less power consumption compared with the well-known ubiquitous sensor network. After measuring the motion data as well as the synchronization pulses, the proposed method compensates, in offline, the difference of the sampling instance between the two systems by scaling the time difference. The paper presents experimental results to show the validity of the proposed method.

We conducted a user-centered usability testing on the Android-based Mobile Augmentative Alternative Communication(AAC) Software. In this paper, we examined functionality, satisfaction, and ease of information searching for a specific function using a task scenario, and we investigated appropriateness of development purposes, contents, instructional strategies, usability, functions of management mode, and user interface of the mobile AAC to the communication needs of children who are nonverbal. We also examined user requirements, preference, satisfaction, and other personal opinions for the mobile AAC using an open feedback. In addition, we investigated users' preference for the size of mobile devices using 4.3", 5.0", and 7.0" mobile devices.

In this paper, we proposed the fabrication methodology of orthotic device using 3D Computer-Aided Design programme and 3D printing technology based on images acquired from 3D scanner. We set the process and methodology of its fabrication method and confirmed whether it is available for clinical by fabricating four kinds of orthotic device for a patient with cerebral palsy. 3D printing technology method was indicated quantitatively and qualitatively about duration, tensile strength stronger comparing with conventional method, and we could propose that the 3D printing technology for the orthosis could be the proper method to mediate and compensate with reported problems related to orthosis.

A compass device which indicates the right direction using the recorded voice was developed to assist the people who are blind when they are walking and moving to somewhere. The developed voice compass consists of a sensing module which recognizes the terrestrial magnetism with magnetic sensor, voice recorder IC, speaker and microprocessor which controlled all the components. It has 32 directions resolution and can continuously indicates the progressing direction with established time interval for the user convenience. It can help walking of the blind people and designed to be used in various sports and leisure. The performance of the developed device was verified by experiment with person who are blind.

현대 디자이너는 사회로부터 다양화와 현대화에 대한 지속적인 요구를 받고 있으며, 한편으로는 자원의 유한성이라는 제한으로 인해 다양화와 현대화와의 모순이라는 현실에 직면하고 있다. 이러한 배경들로 말미암아 재활용품 개발은 현대 디자인에서 중요한 분야로 자리 잡고 있다. 본 연구는 폐기물 재활용품의 모듈형식 디자인에 관한 분석을 통하여 지속 가능한 각도에서의 모듈형식 디자인의 역할과 그 중요성의 의미를 인정하고 모듈형식의 생활용품 디자인에서 나타난 정보를 통하여 재활용품 디자인의 개발방향을 제시하였다.

본 고에서는 IS-95A 방식의 CDMA PCS 시스템과 호환되는 업무용 혹은 가정용 CT 구현을 위한 방안에 관하여 논의한다. 이를 위해 CT시스템의 CDMA 물리동기 및 프레임 동기를 획득하는 방안과 PCS/CT 이중모드의 효과적인 운용 방안을 구체적으로 제시한다. 설계의 접근방식으로는 동기방식을 위주로 하였으나 비동기방식에 대해서도 논의하였다. 제안되는 CT 시스템은 주파수 재활용도를 높이는 측면에서 Upbanded IS-95A PCS 시스템의 스펙트럼 상에서 동작하고 PCS 단말내의 H/W 통신 모듈을 변형없이 그대로 사용하므로 개발기간을 단축시키고 PCS 망과의 간섭을 최소화시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study aims to compare global policies on ICT accessibility and to suggest possible solutions that help to enhance ICT accessibility for socially disadvantaged groups. The results indicated that related laws and standards in Korea are relatively well established than Asian countries' whereas they need improvements when compared to the US or the UK. Particularly, in spite of rapid development in information communication technology industry, incorporating the definition of newly developed technologies into existing laws related to ICT accessibility seemed slow that caused reluctancy of related parties to address accessibility issues the new technologies create. In addition, Korean government seems less effortful to develop policies and standards apart from web and mobile application accessibility. In order to resolve the problems, firstly, the period or process of enacting and amending laws can be shorten. Next, a government affiliated research institute can be established to do research and develop ICT accessibility related to user scenarios so that effective policies and standards could be readily provided. Even though other possible solutions can be suggested, what is more important than that is that any interested parties should sustainably make efforts to provide equal opportunities for the underserved populations.
