This study presents a bio-chemical energy harvesting system which can generate electric power from bioorganic substance contained in vermicompost. It produced electricity by inoculating microbial fuel cell(MFC) with earthworm-composted food waste. The generated electricity was converted into usable voltage level for mobile electronics through power conditioning circuits. The implemented prototype showed $200{\mu}W$ of maximum output electric power, which successfully supplied a beacon device which continuously transmitted data to nearby smartphone without a battery. The proposed system can help develop portable or bio-mimetic energy supply for sustainable use with further improvement.

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has been attractive since it can not only treat organic waste in an eco-friendly way by digesting it but also generate electricity by the unique metabolic process of microbes. However, it hasn't been employed in practical use until now because it is hard to integrate a small electricity up to an adequate amount of electric power and difficult to keep its bio-electric activity consistent. In this study, we combined an energy harvester with MFC (MFC-EH) to make the power-integration convenient and developed an energy self-sustainable wireless sensor system driven by a stable electric power produced by MFC-EH. Additionally, we build the low power application measuring data to be cast by the web in real-time so that it can be quickly and easily accessed through the internet. The proposed system could contribute to improvement of waste treatment and up-cycling technologies in near future.

A Fresnel lens is an optical component which can be used as a cost-effective, lightweight alternative to conventional continuous surface optics. Fresnel lens solar concentrators continue to fulfill a market requirement as a system component in high volume cost effective Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) electricity generation. The basic principles of the fresnel lens are reviewed and some practical examples are described. To investigate the performance space of the Fresnel lens, a fast simulation method which is a hybrid between raytracing and analytical computation is employed to generate a cache of simulation data. Injection molders are warming up to the idea of cycling their tool surface temperature during the molding cycle rather than keeping it constant. Heat and cool process are now also finding that raising the mold wall temperature above the resin's glass-transition or crystalline melting temperature during the filling stage and product performance in applications from automotive to packaging to optics. This paper deals with the suitability of Fresnel lenses of imaging and non-imaging designs for solar energy concentration. The concentration fresnel lens confirmed machinability and optical transmittance and roughness measure through manufactured the prototype.

In this paper, we propose a development method for a drowsiness detection system using retinex theory and edge information for vehicle safety. Detection of a drowsy state of a driver is very important because the drowsiness of driver is often the main cause of many car accidents. After acquiring an image of the entire face, we executed the pre-process step using the retinex theory. We then applied a technique for the detection of the white pixels using edge information. Experimental results showed that the proposed method improved the accuracy of detecting drowsiness to nearly 98%, and can be used to prevent a car accident caused by the driver's drowsiness.

The energy crisis involving depletion of fossil fuel resource is not the sole driving force for developing renewable energy technologies. Another driving force is the ever increasing concerns on the air quality of our planet, associated with the continuous and dramatic increase of the concentration of greenhouse gas (mainly carbon dioxide) emissions. The internal combustion engine is a major source of distributed $CO_2$ emissions caused by combustion of gasoline derived largely from fossil fuel. Another major source of $CO_2$ is the combustion of fossil fuels to produce electricity. New technologies for generating electricity from sources that do not emit $CO_2$, such as water, solar, wind, and nuclear, together with the advent of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and even all-electric vehicles (EVs), offer the potential of alleviating our present problem. Therefore, the relevant technologies in $LiFePO_4$ as cathode material for Li-ion batteries suitable to the friendly environment are reviewed aim to provide the vital information about the growing field for energies to minimize the potential environmental risks.

We present several biosignal measurement results and analysis algorithms or the visual stimulus from International Affective Picture System. Since human body is nonlinear dynamic system, we investigated both linear and nonlinear methods. We found that the chaos was diminished when unpleasant picture is presented relative to pleasant picture, and the alpha wave of EEG was slightly augmented in pleasant picture, but was not convincing result. These can be used as the parameter or the measurement of human sensibility.

장애음성을 판별할 수 있는 소프트웨어가 개발 될 경우, 원격의료와 언어치료 등 여러 융복합 분야에서의 활용도가 매우 높다. 본 논문은 성대 진동에 대한 변화율을 나타내는 의료정보인 음향학적 파라미터와 신호처리 기반 고차 통계량에 기반을 둔 파라미터를 융합하여, CART(Classification And Regression Trees) 분석을 통해서 정상/장애음성 판별 프로그램을 구현하였다. 사용된 음향학적 파라미터는 Jitter(%)와 shimmer(%)이다. 그리고 본 연구에서 제안된 고차통계량 기반 파라미터는 왜도(Skewness)와 첨도(Kurtosis)의 평균과 분산이다. Kay Elemetrics의 데이터베이스에서 무작위로 발췌된 정상음성 53명, 장애 음성 173명의 /아/ 발화를 이용하여 결정트리(Decision tree) 기반장애음성 판별을 위해 평균적으로 83.15%의 성능을 보이는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 추후 상용화를 고려하여 사용자 친화적인 프레임 워크에 의해 컨텐츠를 생성하는 융복합형 기능이 포함된 장애음성 판별 프로그램을 개발하였다.

Electronic catalog is a kind of electronic document to exchange product and service data for B2B or B2C EC(electronic commerce). Up to date a lot of selution/service providers which develop EC systems such as shopping malls, have constructed electronic catalogs. However, they use different contents, formats, and exchange methods without a standardized concept and consistent definition of components. This causes problems that time and cost to develop catalogs are duplicated and data exchange across e-marketplaces is difficult. In order to resolve these problems, standardization works for electronic catalog are carried out inside and outside the country. In this paper, we introduce types of standards concerned with electronic catalog, trends of standardization activities, and domestic standardization activities by industry such as electronics, automobile, shipbuilding, heavy industry, steel, electricity, construction, distribution, biomedical, and textile.

본 논문에서는 폐 루프 전달함수로부터 제어기를 얻는 방법에 기초한 IMC-PID 제어기 동조방법을 제안하였다. 플랜트는 시간 지연항을 갖는 2차 모델을 고려하고 목표함수로서 시간 지연항을 갖는 3차의 전달함수를 선택하였다. 필터 함수는 설계사양을 만족시키도록 하는 적절한 목표함수로부터 유도된다. 또한 강인-안정성을 입증하기 위한 강인성을 조사하였다.
