This paper presents a microprocessor controlled electronic ballast for HID lamps, which gives automatic switching between MH and HPS lamps. Lamp identification is carried out by checking variation of lamp impedance at warm-up phase. Direct spread spectrum is done by applying 1 kHz triangular wave for removing acoustic resonance. This frequency modulation of 1 kHz gives also low EMI level. The microprocessor controls the voltage of DC-bus, the voltage of ignition pulses, the power of output. A 250W electronic ballast is implemented with ATmega16 CPU.

The purpose of this study is to develop a portable gait-event detection system which is necessary for the cycle-to-cycle FES(functional electrical stimulation) control of locomotion. To make the system portable, we made following modifications in the gait signal measurement system. That is, 1) to make the system wireless using Bluetooth communication, 2) to make the system small-sized and battery-powered by using low power consumption ${\mu}$ P(ATmega8535L). The gait-events were analyzed in off-line at the main computer using ANN(Artificial Neural Network). The Proposed system showed no mis-detection of the gait-events of normal subject and hemiplegia subjects. The performance of the system was better than the previous wired-system.

This paper describes the development of temperature controller using program control method for small heating system. This system consists of three parts; sensing part, control part that includes the PID control algorithm, and actuating part. We introduce a zero-crossing control method of TRIAC and firmware technique using single chip micro-controller(ATmega8535) in the control part.

현재 전력계통분야에서 신재생에너지원을 이용한 분산전원 (DG, Distributed Generation)이 확대 보급됨에 따라 이에 대한 기술의 높은 신뢰성 및 경제성이 높아지고 있는 시점이다. 이에 따라 분산전원의 효율 적운용을 위한 모니터링 장치의 필요성이 또한 증대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 신재생에너지원 중 대표적인 태양 광발전시스템의 현재 상태 (전압 전류, 전력, 위상, 주파 수)를 계통의 모니터링을 위해 제작한 ATmega 128(AVR)이 내장된 Power Line Data Acquisition Board와 현재 널리 통용되는 GUI시스템인 $LabVIEW^{TM}$를 이용하여 컴퓨터를 통한 태양광발전시스템을 모니터링 하는 프로그램을 구현하고자 한다.

A remote monitoring system of the semiconductor equipment is used to monitor or control operations of the equipment. Most of the conventional monitoring systems are based on the client-server model with the general purpose PC. Basically, it implies the difficulties in the system reliability and cost down due to its size and complexity. To overcome these difficulties, we suggest an embedded web server which is based on the low-cost microprocessor. It is designed for the monitoring or controlling a dedicated equipment only. To evaluate the feasibility of the suggested embedded web server, we have implemented a test-board with ATMega103 and programmed the basic modules using the AVR-GCC. Finally, we have tested its operations on the MS Explorer 6.0 environment.

Road traffic accidents kill more than one million people a year. ESCC represents a new device, that hasn't any analogue. This embedded system, heats the car glasses, when it's needed, that makes more safety driving. It's build on Atmega128L CPU, using high-performance EEPROM CPLD ATF1504AS. Source code was written in C language. Algorithm of work was written by dew-point table. This system is not only clearing the glass from condensation, but averts condensation. ESCC began working, when input information became close to dew-point table information. Thankful this device, field of view is more widely, that increase safety level.

The purpose of this paper is to develop the Plastic Cortex Stimulator(PCS) for stroke patients using ZigBee technology. The PCS consists of an implantable neuro-stimulator and a user controller, The neuro-stimulator has the stimulus circuit which is the H-bridge circuit to generate a bipolar pulse. The bipolar pulse is known to be effective for stroke recovery. The user controller sends several wave-shape parameters (amplitude, pulse width, cycle, etc.) to the neuro-stimulator for variable stimulation using ZigBee technology. The CC2420 and atmega128L was used to implement ZigBee protocol stack. The wireless control of PCS based on ZigBee can help the tele-rehabilitation of the stroke patients. The most effective pulse shape parameters are being investigated through animal experiments. The bio-compatibility and user-friendly interface are supposed to be handled in further study.

In this paper, we have studied for the current control method with high accuracy for the high power LED driver that is necessary to the lighting system using LEDs. The control performance of LED driver can be improved with the adjustment of current control boundary by introducing D/A converters for setting high-offset and low-offset. And microprocessor (ATmega128) and D/A converter with 8 bits resolution are used in the proposed driver so that LED's illumination can be remotely controlled by serial communication on the spot or by key input. In the results of performance tests, we confirmed that the proposed control method is superior to the conventional control method using op-amps.
