In this paper, a study was made of the technology used to measure the remaining amount of energy in secondary cells, for which demand is ever increasing. First, the standard data were stored for measurement of the remaining energy and a compare/analysis algorithm was developed. Next, hardware was designed and a prototype that can display the SOC(State Of Charge) through an LCD displayinstrument was created. The small size of the prototype allows it to be portable and its performance is within ${\pm}4$[%].

Data acquisition of biomedical signal is important that can convert health of human body to measurable datas. In this paper, we developed system that can send multiple ECG data, ECG signal in biomedical signals, using Bluetooth wireless transmission. Developed system has several features, total gain of 1000, filtering data for noise reduction in hardware / software parts, portable to carry cause it has small size and battery operation. And system was designed which can measures data in several OS(Windows 2000, Windows CE).

This research attempts to develop a method to relieve dysmenorrhea, which is an obstacle to many women's social activities, by designing a smartwear with built-in thermotherapy and TENS device. TENS therapy has the advantages of being controlled by patients and not depending on the use of drugs. The TENS device is designed as a stomach band so as to be unnoticeable to others when outer clothes are worn; the size was minimized and attached to underwear to facilitate use everywhere at any time. A current problem is the limitation of minimizing, but as battery technology is further developed, we can anticipate much smaller devices. The development of aforementioned smartwear function will increase women's choices in occupations and general improvement in quality of life.

Mobile handhold devices such as PDA(Personal Digital Assistant) and Cellular Phone are more and more popular for personal web surfing. But today, most mobile handheld devices have relatively poor web browsing capability because of the small bandwidth of wireless connection, the small speed of CPU, the small capacity of RAM and Flash ROM, the small display size of LCD and the short lifecycle of battery. Users have to endure bigger communication latency than Desk PC's one because of these factors. In this paper, we propose an effective pre-refresh mechanism for handheld device's embedded web browser so as to make user's web surfing faster. The experiment was done using the simulator designed by ourselves and the experiment result demonstrates the proposed mechanism has a good performance to make web surfing faster.

Small portable devices such as mobile phones and laptops currently display a trend of high power consumption owing to their characteristics of high speed and multifunctionality. Low-power SoC design is one of the important factors that must be considered to increase portable time at limited battery capacities. Popular low power SoC design techniques include clock gating, multi-threshold voltage, power gating, and multi-voltage design. With a decreasing semiconductor process technology size, leakage power can surpass dynamic power in total power consumption; therefore, appropriate low-power SoC design techniques must be combined to reduce power consumption to meet the power specifications. This study examines several low-power SoC design trends that reduce semiconductor SoC dynamic and static power using EDA tools. Low-power SoC design technology can be a competitive advantage, especially in the IoT and AI edge environments, where power usage is typically limited.

Wearable devices have become widespread. Fitness band is one of common wearable devices, providing useful functions. It helps users to monitor and collect their status such as heart rate and travel distance. Wearable devices, including fitness bands, are designed in small size and it ends up having small battery capacity. In that regard, it is necessary to expand the lifetime of wearable devices. Conventional power management scheme of wearable devices is based on DVFS Ondemand Governor and peripheral control by timeout event, such as turning off the LCD. In this paper, we propose a hybrid governor applying hardware supporting low power mode such as sleep mode to exploit the periodicity of fitness band task. In addition, we show hybrid governor outperforms in power consumption than conventional power management scheme of wearable devices based on Ondemand Governor through experiments.

This paper presents a miniaturized electromagnetic wave detector. The dimension is reduced down to $31{\times}18{\times}13.5mm^3$ by using common OP-AMPs for amplification and oscillation. The strength from wave radiators is indicated by a color LED; green, orange and red colors mean the low, the middle and the high level, respectively. An alarm bell rings as the wave strength becomes above high level. The detector uses 3V battery. The detector could be used for a cellular phone decoration, a necklace pendant and a key holder.

The Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) consists of sensor nodes equipped with a small battery of limited energy resource. Hence, the energy efficiency is a key design issue that needs to be addressed in order to improve the lifetime of the network. In this paper, we use a hexagon tessellation with and ideal cell size to deploy the underwater sensor nodes for the UWSN and propose an enhanced hybrid transmission method that considers the load balancing once the data transmission occurs.

High speed brushless permanent magnet (PM) machines are a key technology for electric drives and motion control systems for many application, since they are conductive to high efficiency, high power density small size and low weight. Proposed slotless PM machine is constructed without stator winding slots. Its stator magnetic material is in the form of a ring and winding have a toroidal configuration and its rotor consists of a 4-pole Halbach array or radially magnetized PM rotor.
