As Building Integrated Photovoltaic(BIPV) system replaces the conventional building finishing materials with PV modules, two function of electricity generation and building envelope can be expected. Therefore BIPV can be a good alternative technology for the 21 century environment-friendly buildings. The objective of this paper is to develope BIPV modules for a commercial buildings of which structure is mainly light-weight, curtain wall system. Two types of module are developed for a opaque part and a transparent part of building envelope. Current technology level and market status of Korea determines the configuration of developed BIPV modules. Architectural considerations for the integration of PV module to building envelope such as building structure, construction type, safety, regulation, maintenance etc. have been carefully reflected from the early stage of BIPV module design. Especially the survey result of current building envelope materials determines the size of unit BIPV modules and a unique cladding method for PV module installation is developed. Trial product of BIPV modules and cladding hardwares are manufactured and sample construction details for a demonstration building are proposed.

This paper focuses on the design for Rx/Tx switch module of GSM(global standard mobile) band, characterization of a miniature, low power and dual-band implementation of the front-end switch module with low-pass filer And the effort to make agreement between the simulated design and the measured data for these solutions takes the place through accumulated design and manufacturing data library. We present the design, modeling and measurement of switch module integrating GSM Rx/Tx switching circuit and LPF(low pass filter) on a LTCC(low temperature co-fired ceramic) substrate. For GSM application, insertion and return loss of the low pass filter designed was less than 0.3 dB which was less than 12.7 dB at 900 MHz. The LTCC switch module contained 10 embedded passives and 3 surface mount components integrated on 4.6$\times$4.8$\times$1.2 mm, 6-layer multi-layer integrated circuit. The insertion loss of switch module measured at 900 MHz was 11 dB. In both of the design approach yielded excellent agreement between measured and simulated results.

This research presents a prototype development and implementation of Decision Support System (DSS) for integrated river basin water management for the flood control. The DSS consists of Relational Database Management System, Hydrologic Data Monitoring System, Spatial Analysis Module, Spatial and Temporal Analysis for Rainfall Event Tool, Flood Forecasting Module, Real-Time Operation of Multi Reservoir System, and Dialog Module with Graphical User Interface and Graphic Display Systems. The developed DSS provides an automated process of alternative evaluation and selection within a flexible, fully integrated, interactive, centered relational database management system in a user-friendly computer environment. The river basin decision-maker for the flood control should expect that she or he could manage the flood events more effectively by fully grasping the hydrologic situation throughout the basin.

This paper describes an example of developing an integrated design system, Integrated Structural Design System for Reinforced Concrete Buildings(INDECON). INDECON incorporates a central database and three design modules: a preliminary design module(PDM), a structural analysis module(SAM), and a detailed design module(DDM). The development of INDECON begins with the development of design models including Design Object Model(DOM) which describes design data during the structural design process. The Design Object Model is transformed to Design Table Model(DTM) for the central database, and is specified to be in detail for the three design modules. Then the central database is implemented and managed by relational database management system(RDBMS), and the three design modules are implemented using C++ programming language. The central database in the server computer communicates with the design modules in the client computers using TCP/IP internet protocol. The developing procedure for INDECON in this paper can be applied for developing more comprehensive integrated structural design systems.

Recently, requirements for improving the convenience of constructing BIPV (Building Integrated Photo Voltaic) modules had increased. To solve this problem, we fabricated shingled PV modules integrated with bent steel plates for building integrated photovoltaics. These PV modules could be constructed directly on the roof without the installation structure. We found optimal lamination conditions with supporting structures to fabricate a module on a bent steel plate. Moreover, we applied a shingled design to PV modules integrated with bent steel plates to achieve a high electrical output power. The shingled module with bent steel plates shows 142.80 W of solar-to-power conversion in 0.785 m² area.

We have developed a fully functional reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) switch module using a polymer integrated photonic lightwave circuit technology. The polymer variable optical attenuator (VOA) array and digital optical switch array are integrated into one polymer PLC chip and packaged to form a 10-channel VOA integrated optical switch module. Four of these optical switch modules are used in the ROADM switch module to execute 40-channel switching and power equalization. As a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) filter device, two C-band 40-channel athermal arrayed waveguide grating WDMs are used in the ROADM module. Optical power monitoring of each channel is carried out using a 5% tap PD. A controller and firmware having the functions of a 40-channel switch and VOA control, optical power monitoring, as well as TEC temperature control, and data communication interfaces are also developed in this study.

Urban flooding with surcharges in sewer system was investigated because of unexpected torrential storm events these days, causing significant amounts of human and economic damages. Although there are limitations in forecasting and preventing natural disasters, integrated urban flooding management system using the SWMM engine and Web technology will be an effective tool in securing safety in operating Bi-modal transportation system. In addition, the integrated urban flooding management system can be linked with general and transportation-related disaster management system in the future. In this study, With simulated values by the SWMM, which is a core engine of the Bi-modal disaster management system, flash flooding area estimation module was developed. Thus, the SWMM system codes were modified and new module was developed and integrated with the existing SWMM interface using the Delphi programming language. The flash flooding area estimation module is fully integrated with the SWMM interface, thus the area is estimated on-the-fly inside the system.

In this paper, we propose the Agricultural Environment Monitoring System based on Sensor Network which can collect information of crop cultivation environment and monitor it in real-time by using various environment sensors. Existing wireless sensor nodes, based on the sensor network, require extra conversion/control module depending on the characteristics. To solve this problem, we developed an integrated sensor module which can integrate various kinds of sensors used to obtain the necessary information for the area under crop cultivation. In addition, we developed sensor networks monitoring system which is suitable for an integrated sensor module. To verify the operating status of the proposed system, an integrated sensor node is installed in the test environment so that it can sense information of the environment and monitor it in real-time.
