  • A power-efficient neuromodulator is needed for implantable systems. In spite of their stimulation signal's simplicity of wave shape and waiting time of MCU(micro controller unit) much longer than execution time, there is no consideration for low-power design. In this paper, we propose a novel of low-power algorithm based on the characteristics of stimulation signals. Then, we designed and implement a neuromodulation software that we call NMS(neuro modulation simulation). In order to implement low-power algorithm, first, we analyze running time of every function in existing NMS. Then, we calculate execution time and waiting time for these functions. Subsequently, we estimate the transition time between active mode (AM) and low-power mode (LPM). By using these results, we redesign the architecture of NMS in the proposed low-power algorithm: a stimulation signal divided into a number of segments by using characteristics of the signal from which AM or LPM segments are defined for determining the MCU power reduces to turn off or not. Our experimental results indicate that NMS with low-power algorithm reducing current consumption of MCU by 76.31 percent compared to NMS without low-power algorithm.

  • In this paper, The PC interface for packet terminal of ISDN is designed and implemented in order to build packet communication networks which share computer resources and exchange informations between computer in the ISDN environment. The PC interface for packet terminal of ISDN constitutes S interface handler part which controls functions of ISDN layer1 and layer 2, constitutes packet handler part which controls services of X.25 protocol in the packet level.Where, The function of ISDN layer1 provides rules of electrical and mechanical characteristics, services for ISDN layer 2. The function of ISDN layer 2 provides function of LAPD procedure, services for X.25 The X.25 specifies interface between DCE and DTE for terminals operrating in the packet mode. The S interface handler part is orfanized by Am 79C30 ICs manufactured by Advanecd Micro Devices. ISDN packet handler part is organiged by AmZ8038 for FIFO for the purpose of D channel. The common signal procedure for D channel is controlled by Intel's 8086 microprocessor. The S interface handler part is based on ISDN layer1,2 is controlled by mail box in order to communicate between layers. The ISDN packet handler part is based on module in the X.25 lebel.

  • This paper proposes an improvement system for the marginalized digital underprivileged of these services due to the lack of intuition and usability for the recently increasing number of unmanned ordering devices' interfaces and device environments. The problem with kiosk service is that it lacks intuition among design principles and cannot be used by wheelchair passengers in environments that meet general standing standards. To solve this problem, we propose a service that can use kiosk-like environments on mobile devices by photographing QR codes with mobile devices. As a result of the experiment, people in their 20s did not experience difficulties in using the existing kiosk model, but in the case of the elderly, it was difficult to use the kiosk, so they asked for help. The improved kiosk model was carried out in their 20s without difficulty, and the results showed that it was carried out without difficulty even in the case of the elderly.

  • In this paper, we study the stabilization control if an underwater vehicle from its initial posture to its desired one. We assume tint the underwater vehicle has velocity constraint, i.e. it has no velocity component for some direction. Our approach is based on the nonholonomic system which am derived from velocity constraints that cannot integrable. We proposed a control strategy for posture control of the underwater vehicle using multi-rate digital control. The proposed control scheme is applied to the berthing control if an underwater vehicle and verified the effectiveness if control strategy by numerical simulation.

  • Until now, the level design for games has played a very important role in the process of developing games since it has been mapped out and applied so the game players have fun to certain level in playing games. So as game becomes more complex the number of game designers also grow and to make diverse levels, work force and working hours also should grow larger. In this treatise, it suggest a way where level's structure is changing dynamically so with only one level you can experience diverse levels by introducing wandering agent to the level structure. Also, I am trying to show the possibility of balance between the players by wandering agent.

  • PACS(Picture Archiving Communication System)를 바탕으로 하는 DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine)은 주요 의료영상장비들 사이에 데이터와 영상을 효율적으로 교환하고 전송할 수 있도록 마련한 표준안으로 현재 대부분의 최신형 의료영상장비(CT, MR, DSA, CR(Computed Radiology), 초음파검사, 핵의학검사, 내시경검사, 조직병리검사, 등)들은 의료 영상 분야의 국제 표준인 DICOM 표준방식에 의해 영상을 제공하고 있다. 최근 이러한 의료영상장비들은 독립적으로 사용하기보다는 의료수술 모니터링 장비 등의 비 의학영상장비와 서로 연계하여 사용하는 경우가 많아졌다. 그러나 이러한 의료수술 모니터링 장비들은 DICOM 표준 데이터를 고려하지 못하므로 PACS를 통한 데이터 연계에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 표준 DICOM 포맷과 의료수술 모니터링 장비의 데이터 구조를 분석하여 non-DICOM 의료수술 모니터링 장비의 PACS 연동을 위한 방안을 제안하였다.

  • Simple signs were usually exchanged as the means of underwater communications. As people recently, need more informations for underwater activities, necessities of underwater communication systems exchanging hunman voice are increased. The purpose of this paper is understanding the ordinary characteristics of underwater communication and investigating the necessary conditions for a good underwater communication system by making a basic communication module. The experiment is achieved by applying AM (Amplitude Modulation) which is mainly used for the underwater communication systems and using common ultrasonic transducers. Ultrasonic transducers usually have narrow bandwidth for transducing electrical energy to mechanical energy. For improvement of sound reconstruction, transducers need more bandwidth which covers voice's frequency range, and goof linearity characteristics in this frequency range. As underwater transmissions have many factors to distort signals. Amplitude Modulation is not a proper way for underwater communications. Using digital signal by sampling human voice should be a good way for this systems, because digital communication simplify transmitting signals.

  • 최근 스마트기기 보급의 확산과 이러닝 환경의 고도화로 이러닝 산업의 패러디임이 변화하면서 스마트 디바이스를 통한 학습형태의 스마트러닝이 주목받고 있다. 이처럼 스마트러닝이 부각되면서 기존의 이러닝 콘텐츠를 스마트 디바이스 환경에서도 제공 받고자 하는 사용자들의 요구가 증가하고 있지만 현재 기존 PC기반으로 구현된 이러닝 콘텐츠를 스마트기기에 적용하는데 있어 다양한 문제가 발생하고 있다. 특히 가장 근본적인 문제는 표준에 기인한다고 할 수 있으며 이를 해결하기 위해서는 콘텐츠에 대한 표준화가 필수적인 요소로 작용한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 최근 국내에서 전자책 및 디지털교과서 개발에 표준으로 자리잡고 있는 EPUB 3.0을 준용하여 기존 이러닝 콘텐츠의 데이터 포맷을 변경하고 표준화된 형태로 다양한 스마트 디바이스에 적용이 가능한 디지털교과서 솔루션을 설계하였다.

  • The use of a fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI) as an optical current transducer is demonstrated. A conventional inductive pickup coil converts the time-varying current I(t) being measured to a voltage waveform V(t) applied across a piezeolectric strip to which the FFPI is bonded. The strip experiences a longitudinal expansion and contraction, resulting in an optical phase shift ${\phi}(t)$ in the fiber proportional to V(t). This phase shift is measured using a frequency-modulated semiconductor light source, photodiodes to monitor the reflected light from the FFPI and the laser power, and a digital signal processor. Calibration routines compute V(t) and I(t) from the measured phase shift at a l KHz rate. Response to 60 Hz ac over the design range 0-1300A rms is characterized Transient response of the FFPI transducer is also measured.

  • 본 고에서는 AM과 FM라디오의 디지털방송 전환을 위하여 현재 사용 중인 방송대역에서의 IN-BAND 방식 외에도 VHF 하위대역 혹은 VHF상위대역을 사용하는 OUT-Of-BAND 방식에 대해 각 전송방식의 장단점을 분석하였다. 그러나 현재 디지털라디오뿐만 아니라 TV도 UHDTV 도입을 위해 VHF상위대역 주파수 사용을 원하고 있어 DMB와 라디오와 TV의 차세대방송 주파수 요구가 상호 충돌이 예상된다. 그러므로 본 고에서는 FM의 디지털라디오 전환방법으로 VHF하위대역(TV채널 5번과 6번)에서의 OUT-Of-BAND 방법에 의한 DRM+ 전송방식 적용을 제안하고 있다, 중파라디오의 디지털방송도 동일 계열 DRM 기술 적용으로 수신기를 값싸게 제조하고 빠르게 보급함으로써 디지털라디오의 활성화 방안을 제시하고 있다.
