A single chip NFC transceiver supporting not only NFC active and passive mode but also 13.56MHz RFID reader and tag mode was designed and fabricated. The proposed NFC transceiver can operate as a RFID tag even without external power supply which has dual antenna structure for initiator and target. The area increment due to additional target antenna is negligible because the target antenna is constructed by using a shielding layer of initiator antenna. The analog front end circuit of the proposed NFC transceiver consists of a transmitter and receiver of reader/writer block supporting NFC initiator or RFID reader mode, and a tag circuit for target of passive NFC mode or RFID tag mode. The maximum baud rate of the proposed NFC device is 212kbps by using UART serial interface. The chip has been designed and fabricated using a Magnachip's $0.35{\mu}m$ double poly 4-metal CMOS process, and the effective area of the chip is 2200um by 3600um.

This paper addresses the analysis and the design optimization of differential interconnects for high-speed Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) applications. Thanks to the differential transmission and the low voltage swing, LVDS offers high data rates and improved noise immunity with significantly reduced power consumption in data communications, high-resolution display, and flat panel display. We present an improved model and new equations to reduce impedance mismatch and signal degradation in cascaded interconnects using optimization of interconnect design parameters such as trace width, trace height and trace space in differential printed circuit board (FPCB) transmission lines. We have carried out frequency-domain full-wave electromagnetic simulations, and time-domain transient simulations to evaluate the high-frequency characteristics of the differential FPCB interconnects. We believe that the proposed approach is very helpful to optimize high-speed differential FPCB interconnects for LVDS applications.

인터넷의 성장과 더불어 수많은 응용시스템들이 인터넷 기반 시스템으로 바뀌고 있다. 특히, 인터넷 기반 전문가시스템은 다양한 구조와 방법으로 설계될 수 있고 이미 제작되었던 수많은 인터넷 기반 전문가시스템들은 그 나름대로의 장단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 특정 전문가시스템의 개발이 아니라 WWW(World Wide Web)을 사용자 인터페이스로 이용할 수 있는 전문가시스템 쉘에 관한 연구이다. 본 시스템은 WWW 하부구조에 대한 의존성을 제거, 클라이언트와 네크워크에 부담 격감, HTML과 부합하는 텍스트에 기초한 통신과 같은 장점 외에 중앙 집중적 다중 사용자 접근 관리 기능을 제공한다. 본 시스템은 다중사용자를 위한 서버/클라이언트 환경 구축을 위해 소켓을 이용하여 큐잉(queueing)과 직렬화(serialization)를 해결하고 비연결 지향적인 WWW의 특성으로 인한 사용자 관리의 어려움은 사용자의 IP 주소와 Timer를 이용한 휴무기간 검사를 이용하여 해결한다.Abstract The growth of internet drives many applications into internet-based systems. Internet-based expert systems can be designed with various concepts and methodologies, and they have their own merits and demerits. This papers is a study on a development of not expert system itself but expert system shell which is able to use WWW(World Wide Web) as user interface. The suggested system supports functions on multiuser management controlled by a server system as well as independence on development environments, minimization of the load for clients and network, and text-based communications such as HTML. The system uses socket, which solves problems of queuing and serialization, in order to construct multiuser server/client environmen and also the system solves the non-connective property of WWW which makes it difficult to control users and processes by using IP address and idle time which is supported by the timer.

This paper describes the development of an embedded wireless LAN controller which can be in parallel operated with an existing utility controller. The embedded controller mainly consists of Prism(R) 2.5 chip set and Atmega 128 microcontroller. In order to communicate over the network, the controller including TCP/IP stack (IP, TCP, UDP, and ICMP), telnet, and X/Z modem has been developed. For a specific application, we have proposed an special method to convert data structure between TCP/IP and X/Z modem and a data buffer algorithm to minimize the RAM memory usage. Finally, the correctness and performance of the protocols are tested and verified using $CommView^{(R)}\;and\;DU^{(R)}$. The development is satisfactorily operated only for 3,381 bytes of RAM usage without sacrificing interoperability between hosts.

This paper handles, implementation of multiple access bidirectional serial communications protocol using two common DC power lines, whict are power supply and ground, connecting multiple devices. Communication between the host and the multiple clients are performed using unique packet data with device ID unique to each devices connected on the common power lines. Host initiates data communications by transmitting command packet to the designated client with the client's ID and the client responds by transmitting response packet to the host and in this way, multiple clients and host exchange the packet through the common power lines. The normal voltage of the power communication line maintains 24V corresponding to level 1 and the host drops the voltage to 12V on sending level 0 signal, also the clients normally keeps the line voltage to 24V use pull-down circuit to drop the voltage to 12V on sending level 1 signal. Power supply originates from the host, the host senses the voltage level of the power communication lines and when the clients activates pull down circuit to send level 0 signal and the voltage drops to 12V, the hosts switches power source from 24V to 12V. Also, when clients deactivate pull down circuit to send level 1 signal, the host senses the voltage increase and switches the power source from 12V to 24V. Experimental circuit is designed with one hosts and four clients and verified the power line voltage switching operation depending on the data signal levels on the power line. The proposed research result can be applied to two wire power communications system with one host and multiple low current consumption clients.

The modular robot is one which was developed to get over limit of the space movement for the mobile robot. The chain type robot in particular is connected by series each other and this form expression method is simple and easy to really make a docking method efficiently. However, the related studies were focused on the movement that used to be combination, and the movement of a cell independent mainly does not consist and have a problem to dock only in a direction, not to be connected with all directions. Therefore, we suggested a modular structure for quick, independent movement to solve such a problem and had own autonomy. In addition, we are intended to get some effectiveness for connection mechanism using one locking motor. In this paper, we dealt with the design for the mechanical and electrical points and docking algorithm including communication method. All of the structure is verified with real action experiment through the shape expressions of various application platform.

UART (Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) is a hardware device that converts data into serial format and transmits it, and is widely used for system diagnosis and debugging in most embedded systems. Hackers can access system memory or firmware by using the functions of UART, and can take over the system by acquiring administrator rights of the system. In this paper, we studied secure UART to protect against hacker attacks through UART. In the proposed scheme, only authorized users using the promised UART communication protocol are allowed to access UART and unauthorized access is not allowed. In addition, data is encrypted and transmitted to prevent protocol analysis through sniffing. The proposed UART technique was implemented in an embedded Linux system and performance evaluation was performed.

In this paper a hardware design of area-efficient hash processor which implements MD5 algorithm using hardware sharing and carry-save addition schemes is described. To reduce area, the processor adopts hardware sharing scheme in which 1 step operation is divided into 2 substeps and then each substep is executed using the same hardware. Also to increase clock frequency, three serial additions of substep operation are transformed into two carry-save additions and one carry propagation addition. The MD5 hash processor is designed using 0.25 $\mu\textrm{m}$CMOS technology and consists of about 13,000 gates. From timing simulation results, the designed MD5 hash processor has 465 Mbps hash rates for 512-bit input message data under 120 MHz operating frequency.

The medical bed developed in this study consists of N keys and each is driven vertically by an actuator. Since M sensors are mounted on each keyboard to measure body pressure, the resolution of the body pressure map is determined by the MN. A sensor controller is mounted on each keyboard, and the body pressure values measured from M sensors are transmitted to the main controller through a serial communication network such as CAN (Car Area Network). Each keyboard is equipped with a servo driver that drives a motor, and it is connected to the main controller via CAN to control the height of the keyboard according to the displacement value indicated by the main controller. In addition, the maximum body pressure value and body pressure ratio applied to each part of the keyboard are calculated and used as the basic data for controlling bed comfort by artificial intelligence. As a result, the proposed system can be a foundation that can be used for the control of body comfort and pressure sore prevention by artificial intelligence to be developed in the future.
