As the sensors and communication technology get advance, the remote health diagnosis for patients and senior persons at home are possible now without visiting doctors in hospitals. A low-power ubiquitous health check device was developed adapting Real-Time Embedded Linux is developed. This ubiquitous device is consisted of three sensors. The wrist type health checking terminal acquires periodically the health data by using a blood pressure sensor, a pulse sensor and a body temperature sensor. It transmits the health data to the access point located at the home center through the ZigBee wireless communication modem. This health data collector or access point device sends the data again to the main server operated in a hospital or health care organization. The health server control continuously the input data and sends an alarm signal to the assigned. doctor and responsible persons using cellular SMS when any dangerous events occur. This wrist type health check device has an embedded linux OS using Intel PAX255 MPU. The developed U-Health system is applicable for checking patients health in remote at home. And their family or related persons in remote site can check the patients health status at any time. They can be assured by receiving SMS record and alarm of emergency case which is transmitted from the health server.

A conventional power supply to drive a microwave oven has ferro-resonant transformer and high voltage Capacitor(HVC). Though it is simple, transformer is bulky, heavy and has low-efficiency. To improve this defect a high frequency inverter type power supply has been investigated and developed in recent years. But, because of additional control circuit and switching device, inverter-type power supply is more expensive than conventional one. In this study, A new pulse power supply for Microwave Oven using novel HVC embedded high frequency transformer is proposed for down-sizing, cost reduction, and efficiency emprovement of Inverter type power supply. Also, equivalent circuit model is derived by impedance measurements. And the operation of proposed pulse power supply is verified by simulations and experimental results.

고성능 프로세서와 같은 하드웨어의 발전이 계속됨에 따라 임베디드 환경에서 전력관리는 여전히 중요한 문제이다. DVFS와 같은 전력관리방식은 네트워크 통신과 같은 폴링 기반의 입출력 프로그램에서 효율적인 전력관리를 위해 적응형 방식으로 CPU 주파수를 조절한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 전력관리방식에서의 문제점을 제시하고 새로운 전력관리 방식을 제안한다. 이를 통해 데이터 수신의 빈도가 낮은 상황에서는 폴링 주기를 늘려 전력소모를 줄일 수 있고, 반대로 데이터 수신이 빈번한 상황에서는 최대주파수로 동작하여 성능저하없이 동작 할 수 있다. 이를 임베디드 보드상에 코드계층으로 구현하고 Atmel사의 Power Debugger를 통해 실험 관찰한 결과 제안한 방식은 기존의 전력관리방식과 비교하여 전력소모에서 최대 30%의 성능향상을 보였다.

주행중인 차량내의 컴퓨터 시스템과 통신을 효과적으로 연계해서 언제, 어디서나 각종 데이터의 검색이나 수정 등이 가능하고, 제한적인 플랫폼에서 원활한 동작을 하기 위해 장비를 적절히 제어할 수 있도록 주행차량에 맞게 시스템이 구축되어야 한다. 또한 시스템 엔진 정보 추출을 위해 차량 CAN 통신을 이용하고, 이러한 정보 전송을 위해 ZigBee을 이용하여 데이터를 전송한다. 따라서 차량 CAN을 위해 차량에서 자체 제공되는 OBD-II 프로토콜을 사용하여 차량의 각종 센서 정보 및 O2 센서 값을 이용하여 차량 상태 정보와 배기 가스양을 구하고 ZigBee 메인 컨트롤 시스템에 전송한다. 본 연구는 저전력 차량용 임베디드 시스템으로 전력 사용량을 최대로 줄여서 배터리 부하의 데미지를 최대한으로 감소시키고, ZigBee 통신을 통한 차량의 내부 상태 모니터링을 할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하였다.

Request oriented sensor networks have stricter requirements than conventional event-driven or periodic report models. Therefore, in this paper we propose a minimum energy data aggregation (MEDA), which meets the requirements for request oriented sensor networks by exploiting a low power real-time scheduler, on-demand time synchronization, variable response frame structure, and adaptive retransmission. In addition we introduce a test bed consisting of a number of MEDA prototypes, which support near real-time bidirectional sensor networks. The experimental results also demonstrate that the MEDA guarantees deterministic aggregation time, enables minimum energy operation, and provides a reliable data aggregation service.

This work presents a hybrid generator, which is a combination of a permanent magnet (PM) and winding structure with a PM exciter. The field winding of the proposed hybrid generator is fed by the PM exciter and the embedded current controller, which is installed in the generator shaft. In the no-load condition, the output voltage of the generator is produced by the PM flux of the generator without any field winding current. The field winding current produces an insufficient flux to retain the output voltage of the generator when the load is injected. The total efficiency can be increased from the PM exciter and PM flux of the generator. The field current has to be controlled inside the proposed generator. The generated power from the PM exciter is used to excite the field flux of the generator. The embedded current controller is commanded by the external voltage controller using the infrared wireless method. The 10 kW prototype hybrid PM generator is designed and tested to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system. The experimental results are compared with those of the winding generator with PM exciter.

The new engineering challenges lead to a control of a vehicle more and more complex. To tackle this issue, Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulation is used in the development of real-time embedded systems. In this paper, the control of a double parallel hybrid vehicle is validated using a reduced power HIL simulation. A graphical description is used in order to organize the emulation and control. Some experimental results of a versatile testbed are given for the Peugeot $3{\infty}8$ HYbrid4.

One of the critical parameters to improve the output power for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) is the surface charge density. In this work, we modify the tribo-material of TENG by introducing the $TiO_x$ embedded Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in anatase and rutile phase. The effect of dielectric constant and electronic structure of the $TiO_x$ on the capacitance of TENG and the output power as well are discussed. The surface charge density is increased as the control of the dielectric constant in difference weight percent of $TiO_x$ and PDMS. As the results of that, the 5% $TiO_x$ rutile phase and 7% $TiO_x$ anatase phase embedded PDMS exhibit the highest TENG output. The peak value of voltage/current obtained from $TiO_x$ rutile and anatase phase are ${\sim}180V/8.2{\mu}A$ and $211.6V/8.7{\mu}A$, respectively, at the external force of 5 N and working frequency of 5 Hz, which gives over 12-fold and 15-fold power enhancement compared with the TENG based on the pristine PDMS film. This study provides a better understanding for TENG performance enhancement from the materials view.

Training power tiller operators in safe farming is necessary to avoid farming accidents. With the continuing progress in computational technology, driving simulators have become increasingly popular for conducting such training. Purpose: The objective of this study is to develop mock control devices and data acquisition apparatus for a tiller simulator. Methods: Except for the stand and tail wheel adjusting levers, the mock control devices were developed using a tiller handle assay. The data acquisition apparatus was realized using an embedded data-logging device and LabVIEW, the system design software. Results: The control devices of a real handle assay were successfully mimicked by the mock operator control devices, which used sensors for the relevant measurements. The data from the mock devices were acquired and transmitted to the main computer at intervals of 10 ms via Wi-Fi. Conclusions: The developed mock control devices operate similar to real power tillers and can be utilized in power tiller training simulators.

This paper proposes an efficient tag identification scheme for ISO/IEC18000-7 standard by dividing the tags into smaller groups. Tag grouping is based on the reader's transmission power. This can reduce the responding tags in the collection round. If the small number of tags exists, we can anticipate the collision probability will decrease. And it makes the identification speed high. A collection round initiated by the reader's collection command. It also proceeds with increasing the power of the reader until all tags are identified. The results showed that 25% of the performance improved.
