  • The Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) is an integral component of ship navigation equipment, that enables mariners to view Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC). Recently, it has become possible to transport freight and energy resources via the Northern Sea Routes (NSR) as global warming has been accelerating. However, ice can impact all types of ships and the potential danger that ice poses is significant. Until now, ice, consistently proven to be one of the most dangerous threats impacting navigation in ice-covered regions, has its detailed standard in the specification of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) for ECDIS. The investigations described in this paper were conducted to assess the advantages and problems of the display of ice objects on ECDIS. The experiments were conducted by using the Geographic Information System (GIS) to perform ice objects with their corresponding colors and symbols. Implementation of the standardized appearance of ice objects can enable mariners to access the ice condition of seas in a short time before navigating a safe passage through potentially treacherous waters. However, remain issues that must be overcome for data on ice to be fully compatible with an ECDIS system.

  • The rotational inertial navigation system can provide more accurate navigation information by mounting an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) on the gimbal and rotating the gimbal regularly to cancel out the errors of the IMU. However, when an attitude change occurs due to waves, the attitude error is not removed to 0 at the end of one cycle of the rotation procedure and causes a large position error. In this paper, considering this problem, we propose a method of stabilizing the external gimbal by rotating it based on the roll information of the vehicle. Based on simulation, the impact of waves is analyzed and the performance of external gimbal stabilization is verified.

  • According to the recent increase of mobile commerce, the researches on electronic voucher payment based on NFC are lively made. However, most researches focus on the payment method using electronic vouchers, and so there is none for tracking circulation history of an electronic voucher. To address this problem, this paper proposes the method to store circulation information of an electronic voucher. The proposed method applies Object Memory Model (OMM) to an electronic voucher. When an electronic voucher is issued, transferred to other person, and used in payment, related information is stored at the object momory of an electronic voucher. So, our proposed object memory has three types of blocks, on which each information for issue, transfer, and payment of an electronic voucher is stored. We can retrieve and analyze the circulation history of an electronic voucher using this information. In the future, we will implement the proposed an electronic voucher and propose the method to analyze circulation information.

  • In this paper, a novel 400MHz band small meander microstrip antenna is proposed the shape of the proposed antenna is a waved meander microstrip with a pair rf short pins on th£ edge. the length of waved meander microstrip is $\lambda_g/4$ but it bends to half its size. Therefore, the total size of the proposed antenna is reduced to about 1/20 which is compared with a square patch antenna the simulated antenna gain is about 3dBi at 424MHz. the proposed antenna of -10dB impedance bandwidth is measured about $1.4\%$.

  • A physical model for reduction of Electromagnetic Interference(EMI) or its predecessors, Radio Noise, Electrical Noise, or Radio-Frequency-Interference(RFI), is a rapidly expanding digital technology. It covers the frequency spectrum from DC to about 3 GHz EMI is the poisoner which does not allow radio, TV, radar, navigation, and a lot of electrical, electro-mechanical, and electronic and communication devices, apparatus and systems to operate compatibly in a common frequency spectrum environment EMI can result in a jammed radio, heart pacer failures, navigation errors and many other either nuisance or catastrophic events. Therefore, it follows that this spectrum pollution problem has reached international levels of concern and must be dealt with m proportion to the safety and economic impact Involved.

  • Dilution of Precision (DOP), as a measure of positioning accuracy, is an essential factor. Therefore, the DOP relationship between systems is very important. In this paper, the DOP relationship between TDOA and TOA in systems lacking clock bias is derived analytically and verified experimentally. Also, using those of earlier studies, the DOP relationship in each of defined systems is derived analytically.

  • There are many difficulties to supply constant power to marine facilities which operate in the sea. Especially, there is a limit to stand alone power supply systems due to the influence of weather conditions. That's why a hybrid power supply system is required to overcome these problems. This paper will describe an Electronic Anti-Fouling System (EAFS) to maximise the power efficiency for a solar - wave hybrid power generation system. A main factor reducing the efficiency of a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) is due to the attachment of aquatic life forms. Therefore the aim of this research is to develop a simulation programme to enable the design of more efficient EAFS for hybrid power generation systems and to provide valuable data for production of more efficient EAFS.
