Web-services employ XML that is the well-formed structure as a de-facto standard to represent data. SOAP or REST is one of the representative web-services using XML based massage passing systems. The XML parser can be divided into event driven and DOM tree. A streaming parser as an event driven is widely used for high-speed parsing. Since the streaming parser processes XML documents in sequence, they have any limitation to improve system performance. In order to improve speed of streaming XML parser, we present multibyte based streaming XML hardware parser using the element analyzer instead of the state machine. Compared to other parsers, the proposed MStreXHP can achieve about 2.72 times improvement in the number of clock cycles to be consumed in comparison of characters and sustain about 7.8Gbps throughput. Therefore, our MStreXHP is desirable for the streaming XML hardware parser on high-performance systems.

This paper presents the hardware implementation of the pyramidal KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) feature tracker. Because of its high computational complexity, it is not easy to implement a real-time KLT feature tracker using general-purpose processors. A hardware implementation of the pyramidal KLT feature tracker using FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) is described in this paper with emphasis on 1) adaptive adjustment of threshold in feature extraction under diverse lighting conditions, and 2) modification of the tracking algorithm to accomodate parallel processing and to overcome memory constraints such as capacity and bandwidth limitation. The effectiveness of the implementation was evaluated over ones produced by its software implementation. The throughput of the FPGA-based tracker was 30 frames/sec for video images with size of $720{\times}480$.

A new controller for switching audio power amplifier with digital PWM input is proposed- Bi-directional Saw-tooth Error Correction (BSEC). This control method for high quality switching amplifier is based on a pulsed edge correction approach using PWM audio signal input as a reference of power switching digital to analog converter. The proposed controller has excellent features such as wide error correction range and no limitation on the modulation index. The controller is implemented in the half-bridge class D amplifier and the performance is verified through hardware experiments. It delivers 100W into 4${\Omega}$ load with less than 0.2% of total harmonic distortion (THD) all over operating range and an maximum efficiency of 82%.

The purpose of this study is to identify the components of SME's information infrastructure through literature review, empirically investigate the components, and develop a model for SME's information infrastructure. The fact that SME's are having difficulties in building their own information infrastructure due to the limitation of capital investment, technology, and manpower is the main motive for the study The survey questionnaires were distributed to CEO's and users of 3W SME's and intensive interviews were cornea out to CIO's and information services personnel to further investigate H/W and S/W components of Information Infrastructure. The study results show that there seems to be five main factors for SME's information infrastructure. They are: (1) Informatization Capacity, (2) Software and Network, (3) Management Recognition and Utilization, (4) Hardware, and (5) Alignment between Users and Information Services.

This paper proposes novel real-time footstep planning and following methods for the navigation of humanoid robots. A footstep command is defined by a walking direction and step lengths for footstep planning. The walking direction is determined by a uni-vector field navigation method, and the allowable yawing range caused by hardware limitation is considered. The lateral step length is determined to avoid collisions between the two legs while walking. The sagittal step length is modified by a binary search algorithm when collision occurs between the robot body and obstacles in a narrow space. If the robot body still collides with obstacles despite the modification of the sagittal step length, the lateral step length is shifted at the next footstep. For footstep following, a walking pattern generator based on a 3-D linear inverted pendulum model is utilized, which can generate modifiable walking patterns using the zero-moment point variation scheme. Therefore, it enables a humanoid robot to follow the footstep command planned for each footstep. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiment.

As people's living standard is being improved, human works are being replaced by robots. However, because roost robots are used in process industry, fixed on the ground, we need to develop human robots that have wide applications. Currently many researches are being conducted on human robots with the object of replacing human works, but because of lack of relevant hardware, such robots are being applied limitedly to very simple tasks. To overcome the limitation, the present study developed a kinematical mechanism and a controller. Based on human kinematics, the shoulders and the arms were composed of master arms with 3 degree of freedom, and we reproduced motions similar to human ones through the characteristics of joint variables and experiment on the trajectory of the end effector.

In this paper, we developed a more efficient system for the remote control and monitoring of a wheeled mobile robot using internet without spatial limitation. The hardware configuration of the remote control system for a wheeled mobile robot includes a client PC executed on the remote site, a embedded web-server and a mobile robot with many measuring equipments. The communication between a client PC and a embedded web-server is implemented through internet. And the Bluetooth module is used for connecting a embedded web-server and a mobile robot. A GUI program has been developed by using JavaScript in order to easily control a mobile robot on a client PC.

The configuration of Distribution Automatic System(BAS) is dual servers and raid 5(redundant arrays of inexpensive disks) clustering dual HDD. The DAS has the distributed object-oriented architecture using middleware software(BASEstar), so the number of client nodes has no limitation. Because the DAS is scalable, it can be configured using various application programs and be upgraded easily. The DAS has competitive to export because there are system development and accumulation of technology that coincide in International Standard, using common 05 and DB. This paper describes the structure of DAS hardware and software separately and proposes to improve program to share real time DB efficiently at each node.

In this study an image processing system is designed and developed, which can detect and assort some defects on the surface of an object moving with high speed. For real time surface detection of high speed moving object, the fast processing should be managed and the image information including some surface features should be captured. It is difficult to acquire the noise free image due to various light sources and high speed moving materials under the environment of the general industrial site. In general, because pre-processing methods are employed for getting a noise free feature, the image processing speed has some limitation and the expensive image processing devices are required.
