  • Children have become the target of intense and specialized food advertising efforts. This study examines the content of TV food advertising and discussed possible concerns from the perspective of children. A total of 102 ads were collected from two cable networks aimed at children. Most of the food ads used emotional appeals and did not provide information clues such as nutrition values. Ads with high sales pressure and celebrity endorsements appeared frequently and the ads for snack foods and high-carbohydrate bakery products were dominant. Understanding food ads can be a significant indicator to establish the orientation of consumer ad education and build educational programs appropriate for children. The issue that appears conspicuous in child targeted advertising and marketing is the childhood obesity and food advertising relation; subsequently, there is a need to evolve advertising that targets children into a positive educational information source.

  • In this paper, we deal with a hierarchical location-allocation problem in designing the broadband convergence networks (BcN). The objective is to minimize the total cost of switch and cable while satisfying the quality of service (QoS). We formulate the problem as an integer programming model and develop the Tabu Search (TS) heuristic algorithm to find a good feasible solution within a reasonable time limit. Initial solution is obtained by using the tree structure. Three neighborhood generation mechanisms are used by local search heuristic: insertion, switch up, and switch down. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we generate lower bounds from nonlinear QoS relaxation problem. We present promising computational results of the proposed solution procedures.

  • An embedded system has been applied to many fields including households and industrial sites. The embedded system is implemented fur image tracking in security area. This system supports a fixed IP far the reliable server operation on TCP/IP networks. A real time video image on the is analyzed to detect a certain invader who jumped into the observed area. The digital camera is connected at the USB host port of the target board. The video images from the video camera is continuously analyzed and displayed at the Linux web-server. The moving vector of the invaders on the continuous image frames is calculated and then it sends the calculated pan/tilt movement. That used Block matching algorithm and edge detection algorithm for past speed. And the displacement vector is used at pan/tilt motor control through RS232 serial cable. The experiment result showed tracking performance by the moving part speed of 10 to 150 pixels/sec.

  • This study deals with various neural network algorithms for the on-site partial discharge pattern recognition. For the purpose, the pattern recognition has been carried out on partial discharge data for the typical artificial defect using 9 different neural network models. In order to enhance on-site applicability, artificial defects were installed in the insulation joint box of extra-high voltage xLPE cables and partial discharges were measured by use of the metal foil sensor and a HFCT as a sensor. As the result, it is found out that the accuracy of pattern recognition could be enhanced through the application of the Sigmoid function, the Momentum algorithm and the Genetic algorism on the artificial neural networks. Although Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) algorism showed the best result among 9 neural network algorisms, it is thought that more researches on others would be needed in consideration of on-site application.

  • Broadcast is evolving into media service aimed at user customization, personalization, and participation with high-quality broadcasting contents (4K/8K/AR/VR). A broadcast infrastructure is needed to engage with the competition for providing large-scaled media traffic process, platform performance for adaptive transcoding to diverse receivers, and intelligent service. Cloud service and virtualization in broadcast are becoming more valuable as the broadcasting environment changes and new high-level broadcasting services emerge. This document describes the examples of cloud and virtualization in the broadcast industry, and prospects the network virtualization of broadcast transmission infrastructure, especially terrestrial and cable networks.

  • Real-time control communication network system is important for developing defense robots because it affects environmental interaction, performance, and safety. We propose a real-time control communication network using the Xenomai real-time operating system and the open-source EtherCAT master library, SOEM. EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based industrial communication method. It has low latency and many functions such as cable redundancy and distributed clock synchronization. We use Xenomai RTOS and Intel NUC to develop the system. Experimental tests demonstrate the Real-time EtherCAT master implementation, and communication with CiA301-based slave devices. The jitter measurement was conducted to validate the real-time performance of the system. The proposed system shows possibility for real-time robotics applications in various defense robots.

  • The Data Over Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS) protocol enables the delivery of Internet Protocol(IP) traffic over Cable TV networks with significantly higher data rates. In this paper, we assessed the performance of the DOCSIS protocol using the OPNET. The simulation can be used to predict the upstream system throughput, mean access delay and channel utilization on varying packet size and transmission stream and wid/without concatenation, and it has shown that maximum system throughput is 4.6 Mbps for channel capacity of 5.12 Mbps and packet size of 1500 bytes. The mean access delay varies depending on the offered load, and it is assumed that the offered load does not exceed the capacity of the channel. Excess offered load causes service starvation according to the assigned priority.

  • Since switched digital video (SDV) provides specific programs only to the subscribers who request the programs, SDV has attracted considerable interest of MSOs for bandwidth efficiency. In North America, MSOs service over 2.3 million households with the SDV for cable networks. In Korea, since demand of HD program, high-speed Internet, VoD, and VoIP is noticeably rising, the SDV is considered as the alternative for bandwidth saving and efficient managing. In this paper, the characteristics, operating structure, and bandwidth saving of the SDV are discussed and technical requirements for the SDV are also introduced. The channel switching performance and stability of the SDV are analyzed through the test-bed.

  • In this study, a configuration method for a cloud technology based VoD system through two different scenarios is proposed. The first scenario virtualizes DMC, content storages for each SO, and stream servers in the conventional VoD system in order to efficiently use the additionally required storage capacity and stream server. In the second scenario, it is proposed that cable broadcasting systems including VoD systems are to be changed as cloud in which the subscriber STB should have minimum programs and storage regions to connect networks, and the operating system and middle ware presented in the existing subscriber STB is moved to the cloud data center. In addition, the comparison of the application of the cloud technology for the cost of changing the existing system to STB and the cost of establishing a cloud VoD system is performed in order to analyze the cost reduction in broadcasting businesses based on the establishment of VoD systems.
