RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) is use of an RFID tag applied to object for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Recently, it is being actively researched and introduced in logistics and manufacturing. RFID portals in supply chains are meant to identify all the tags within a given interrogation zone. Hence the hardware and software mechanisms for RFID tag identification mostly focus on successful read of multiple tags simultaneously. Such mechanisms, however, are inefficient for determining moving direction of tags, sequence of consecutive tags, and validity of the tag reads from the viewpoint of workflow. These types of problems usually cause many difficulties in RFID portal implementation in manufacturing environment, there by having RFID-system developers waste a considerable amount of time. In this research, we designated an RFID portal system with SDO(Sequence, Direction, and Object-flow)-perception capability by using fundamental data supplied by ordinary RFID readers. Using our work, RFID system developers can save a great amount of time building RFID data-capturing applications in manufacturing environment.

This paper is to describe the improved vector control which can control the induction motor robustly in low speed. When the induction motor is drived with low speed, below 10 percent of the rated speed, an algorithm which can compensate the error of unit vector angle generated by the harmonics is proposed. Another algorithm which can be tuned to the rotor time constant so that nay be robust to the rotor parameter change in low speed and transient state was proposed. The ripple of flux and torque was reduced by the proposed vector control and then the stable output characteristics was obtained in low speed. When the input and output is sinusoidal, the proposed vector control, the direct vector control and the indirect vector control were analyzed and compared in the low speed characteristics. And each control characteristics is compared and analyzed in state of containing harmonics. The estimation and tunning performance of rotor time constant is confirmed with simulation. The whole control system is implemented by real hardware and experimented to compare the proposed vector control with the direct vector control. As a result of the experiment with two control methods in low speed, the torque ripple of the proposed vector control is improved by 45 percent than the direct vector control. And it is confirmed that the flux current ripple is reduced in 0.2 p.u. and torque current ripple is reduced in 0.6 p.u. It is confirmed that the rotor time constant by the estimation and the tunning algorithm is tunned by the real rotor time constant. Finally, it was confirmed that the validity and robustness for the proposed vector control in low speed existed.

This paper propose a motion estimator architecture to reduce the power consumption of the most-power-consuming motion estimation method when designing multimedia SoC with deep submicron technologies below 0.13${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The proposed architecture considers both dynamic and static power consumption so that it is suitable for large leakage process technologies, while conventional architectures consider only dynamic power consumption. Consequently, it is suitable for mobile information terminals such as mobile videophone where efficient power management is essential. It exploits full search method for simple hardware implementation. It also exploits early break-off method to reduce dynamic power consumption. To reduce static power consumption, megablock shutdown method considering power line noise is also employed. To evaluate the proposed architecture when applied multimedia SoC, system-level control flow and low-power control algorithm are developed and the power consumption was calculated based on thor From the simulation results, power consumption was reduced to about 60%. Considering the line width reduction and increased leakage current due to heat dissipation in chip core, the proposed architecture shows steady power reduction while it goes worse in conventional architectures.

This paper proposes fast image processing algorithms using SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) instructions. The CPU's supporting SSE instructions have 128bit XMM registers; data included in these registers are processed at the same time with the SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) mode. This paper develops new SIMD image processing algorithms for Mean filter, Sobel horizontal edge detector, and Morphological erosion operation which are most widely used in automated optical inspection systems and compares their processing times. In order to objectively evaluate the processing time, the developed algorithms are compared with OpenCV 1.0 operated in SISD (Single Instruction Single Data) mode, Intel's IPP 5.2 and MIL 8.0 which are fast image processing libraries supporting SIMD mode. The experimental result shows that the proposed algorithms on average are 8 times faster than the SISD mode image processing library and 1.4 times faster than the SIMD fast image processing libraries. The proposed algorithms demonstrate their applicability to practical image processing systems at high speed without commercial image processing libraries or additional hardwares.

To reduce the chattering errors of reed switch sensors in the automatic remote measurement of water meter a reed switch sensor was analyzed and improved. The operation of reed switch sensors can be described as a mechanical contact switch by approximation of permanent magnet piece to generate an electrical pulse. The reed switch sensors are used mostly in measurement application to detect the rotational or translational displacement. To apply for water flow measurement devices, the reed switch sensors should keep high reliability. They are applied for the electronic digital type of water flow meters. The reed switch sensor is just mounted simply on the conventional mechanical type flow meter. A small magnet is attached on a pointer of the water meter counter rotor. Inside the reed sensor two steel leaf springs make mechanical contact and apart repeatedly as rotation of flow meter counter. The counting electrical contact pulses can be converted as the water flow amount. The MCU sends the digital flow rate data to the server using the wireless communication network. But the digital data is occurred difference or won by chattering noise. The reed switch sensor contains chattering error by it self at the force equivalent position. The vibrations such as passing vehicle near to the switch sensor installed location causes chattering. In order to reduce chattering error, most system uses just software methods, for example using filter algorithm and also statistical calibration methods. The chattering errors were reduced by changing leaf spring structure using mechanical characteristics.

PRNGs(Pseudorandom number generators) are essential for generating encryption keys for to secure online communication. A bitstream generated by the PRNG must be generated at high speed to encrypt the big data effectively in a symmetric key cryptosystem and should ensure the randomness of the level to pass through the several statistical tests. CA(Cellular Automata) based PRNGs are known to be easy to implement in hardware and to have better randomness than LFSR based PRNGs. In this paper, we design PRNGs based on PMLCA(Programable Maximum Length CA) that can generate effective key sequences in symmetric key cryptosystem. The proposed PRNGs generate bit streams through nonlinear control method. First, we design a PRNG based on an (m,n)-cell PMLCA ℙ with a single complement vector that produces linear sequences with the long period and analyze the period and the generating polynomial of ℙ. Next, we design an (m,n)-cell PC-MLCA based PRNG with two complement vectors that have the same period as ℙ and generate nonlinear sequences, and analyze the location of outputting the nonlinear sequence.

Packet classification is defined as the action to match the packet with a set of predefined rules. One of classification is to use Ternary Content Addressable Memory hardware search engine that has faster than other algorithmic methods. However, TCAM has some limitations. One of them is that TCAM can not perform range matching efficiently. A range has to be expanded into prefixes to fit the boundary. In general, the number of expansion could be up to 2w-2, where w is the width of the field. For example, if two range fields with 16 bits are used, there could be up to $30\;{\times}\;30\;=\;900$ expansions for a single rule. In this paper, we describe the novel algorithm for converting range matching rules into TCAM entry efficiently. The number of maximum entry is 2w-4 when using the algorithm. Furthermore, it has also benefit about the negation range. In the result of experimentation, the new scheme practically reduces 14 percent in case that searched fields are source port and destination port number.
