The vehicle navigation system is developed for helping driver to retrieve driving information more easily and lastly. Navigation System informs driver many pieces of driving information - roadway structure and system, on-line traffic condition, the position of vehicle, route guidance, destination and other infor- mation service. As the style of information is diverse and the amount of information is large, driver may have mental and visual overload. The display of information can disturb the driver's attention and this can cause accidents. This state is caused by the defect of human-machine interactions. When the navigation system is designed, human factors - cognitive, judgment, operating -must be considered. The display style must be designed simply and easily, not to be obstacle of human - machine interface. In this study, outside- in view display style and inside-out view display style are compared each other. Tow factors are measured. One is cognitive factor-time of cognition on information that is displayed by screen display, cognition error rate. The other is image of screen display - subject's feeling about several styles of display, degree of subject's preference. The prototype of roadway is four kinds -Cross, T-cross and O-cross. Roadway display for test is taken from paper maps. Traffic condition display style, vehicle position display style and route guidance display style are taken from current display style. Traffic condition display style is symbol. vehicle position display style and route guidance display style are described as color and symbol. The test on screen display is implemented doing given tasks. Then the test is analyzed statistically. The result of test analysis gives the guideline to the designer for the map display of the vehicle navigation system.

In digital TV broadcasting, such as terrestrial, cable, satellite, and IPTV, the head-end of digital TV broadcasting has a more complicated transmission structure than that of analog TV broadcasting. Furthermore, digital TV broadcasting has a feature that supports multiplex models, such as Multiple Program Transport Stream (MPTS). Therefore, the purpose of our work was to design and examine a more efficient new system of emergency alert message transmission to support the digital TV broadcasting environments. Digital TV broadcasting is the IP generation or RF transmission of 8-VSB, QAM, and QPSK modulated through a multiplexer or re-multiplexer multiplexed stream as a MPEG-2 Transport Stream after content encoding. The new system proposed in this paper transmits an emergency alert message without scrambling after replacing the PID and payload of the -packet with the message prototype in the TS stream from the multiplexer. If we need to transmit an emergency alert message under digital TV broadcasting services, then the receiver first checks the PID of each packet in the TS stream for the emergency alert message. Next, if a packet is determined to be an emergency alert message, then the set-top box displays the message on the TV screen using its function of On Screen Display, or the PC based software displays the message on the monitor screen using its function of overlay with user interface if the packet is found to be an emergency alert message. We have designed an emergency alert message protocol and a system model. By experiments and analysis of the system, we concluded that the system achieved efficiency and the ability to send and receive emergency alert messages using the system under different digital TV broadcasting service environments.

Categorization systems of homepages in search engines are likely to be constructed considering system's efficiency only but not user-centered. This study I investigated user's mental model of superordinate and subordinate categories using category terms of major Korean search engines. From this result, we constructed two kinds of categorization system; redundant system and singular system. In the redundant system, for example, a subordinate category can belong to a number of superordinate categories, but in the singular system to only one superordinate category Three prototype categorization systems, with 'Simmani', were designed and search performances of each system were observed repetitively Overall results, with frequency of correct a answers, number of steps and time taken in solution taken into account, showed the redundant system was superior to the other two systems. This indicates that categorization search could be improved with appropriate categorizaton system. However. l in recognition test score in singular system was the best, which indicates that search performance and recognition memory of categorization reveal different aspects of categorization system learning. Issues of category organization. ways of interface, prior knowledge, exploratory learning, and application areas are discussed further.

The expansion and stable operation of electric power facilities are important factors with development of industrial facilities in modern society. In high-voltage equipment such as GIS, the insulation characteristics may be deterioated by environment-friendly gas adaption and miniaturization. There is also the possibility of accidents due to insulation breakdown due to the deterioration of power facilities. Therefore, it is necessary to extend the diagnosis system to continuously monitor the danger signals of these power equipment and to prevent accidents. Most of the internal defects in the GIS system are conductive particles, floating electrode defects, protrusion defects, and the like. In this case, a partial discharge phenomenon is accompanied. These partial discharge signals occur irregularly and various noise signals are included in the field, so it is difficult to evaluate the reliability in the development of the diagnostic system. In this paper, a study was made on equipment capable of generating a partial discharge simulated signal that can be adjusted in size and frequency to be applied to a diagnostic device by electromagnetic wave detection method. The PD simulated pulse generator consists of a user interface module, a high-voltage charging module, a pulse forming circuit, a voltage sensor and an embedded controller. In order to simulate the partial discharge phenomenon similar to the actual GIS, a discharge cell was designed and fabricated. The application of the prototype pulse generator to the commercialized PD diagnosis module confirmed that it can be used to evaluate the performance of the diagnostic device. It can be used for the development of GIS diagnosis system and performance verification for reliability evaluation.

Silver is one of the most appropriate Jewelry materials for Jewelry casting and bench working. The technique known as 'Mokumegane' is good for making silver jewelry with natural patterns, such as wood grain patterns, but the process is not easy for silversmithing because it requires complicated and heavy labour. Instead of using conventional Mokumegane technique, we propose a new modified silver-copper casting process that enables a similar surface effect with good metal bonding strength between silver and copper. Simply pouring the molten silver into pre-aligned copper granules or 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm-thick copper sheets leads to well embedded copper silver ingots. The rolled silver plates from those ingots show excellent bonding interface even after the silver plate rolled ten times. We successfully fabricated prototype rings with copper embedded silver plates. Our result implies that our newly proposed process nay be a simpler way to fabricate silver jewelry with a pseudo-Mokumegane effect.

Mokumegane is one of the sophisticated metal craft techniques enabling wood grain surface effect. To embody the mokumegane, an ingot of well-bonded stacked metal plates has been required. Traditionally prepared mokumegane ingots were bonded using charcoal which enables reduction atmosphere, but sometimes end up with collapse of bonding interface due to the lack of reliable process control. We proposed a systematic vacuum direct bonding process for ingots. First, we confirmed copper//copper homogeneous plate bonding at $900^{\circ}C$ by applying uniaxial press of 2.5kg. We observed 80min required to obtain 90%-bonding ratio and the diffusion coefficient would be enhanced up to 100 times due to surface effect. Second, by considering enhanced diffusion behavior, we also obtained optimum bonding condition in copper/silver heterogeneous plates that ensures 90%-bonding ratio at $700^{\circ}C$ for 10min with apply uniaxial press. A 7-layered copper/silver ingot is prepared successfully, and eventually the prototype mokumegane cases for mobile phone were fabricated with these ingot.

The objective of this study was to develop a GIS-based decision support system (GIS-USLE system) to estimate soil erosion and evaluate its effect on concentrated upland plots in Godang district, Korea. This system was developed for the ArcView environment using A VENUE script. Three modules were used in the GIS-USLE system, namely pre-processing, the USLE factors calculator module, and post-processing. This system benefits from a user friendly environment that allows users with limited computer knowledge to use it. This system was applied to 1,285 individual upland plots ranging from 0.005 to 1.347 ha in size with an average slope steepness of 14 %. The rainfall distributions were estimated using the three methods, namely Mononobe and Yen-Chow with Triangle and with Trapezoid type, and then used to calculate the rainfall erosivity factor. The soil erosion amounts from the 1,285 individual plots in the study area by 2 year return period with a 24h maximum rainfall amount of 154.6 mm were estimated at 5 tons/ha on average. Slope appeared to be the most important factor affecting soil erosion estimation, as expected. The prototype model was applied to the project area, and the results appeared to support the practical applications. By examining many fields simultaneously, this system can easily provide fast estimation of soil erosion and thus reveal the spatial pattern of erosion from fields in a region. This study will help estimate and evaluate soil erosion in concentrated upland districts and identify the best management practices.

Recently, there are many embedded system prototyping tools for helping embedded system designers to trial their product before it releases to the market. A prototype is very important for early embedded system design to grasp the desire functions, to get a good performance, to create delightful user interface, and to increase the valuable of the product. Prototyping tools can be classified by three categories: Physical, Virtual and Modeling prototyping. The integration of these prototyping tools becomes valuable for speed up time-to-market and for decrease design cost when design embedded system. The problem comes up because these tools sometime do not provide an instrument for communicating each other. In this paper, we propose a flexible and reusable mechanism for integrate these tools base on JavaBeans and ActiveX technology. We show how this mechanism can be employed in various prototyping tools.

Because of different hardware specifications, there are no unified protocol commands to use with various kinds of RFID readers. The current commercial RFID middlewares do not satisfy the various requirements from users to support business process logic representation. The EPCglobal, which is leading organization for the RFID research, suggested a RFID middleware architecture which is called ALE(Application Level Events) standard. However, their architecture also does not provide the application level's interfaces. Therefore, a new RFID middleware architecture is required to provide basic RFID functions, conform to ALE's specification and, additionally, support application level's business logic representation. This paper proposes a ALE-based RFID middleware architecture which provides business process logic representation. At first, the basic RFID control functionalities are identified. Secondly, the business process logic requirements in RFID applications are identified and classified Into six categories. Third, the Middelware architecture is implemented with Java and XML technology so that it can easily extended to support the various RFID hardware's protocols. Finally, an example RFID prototype system is developed to show the proposed architecture's feasibility and validate it. The proposed middleware is expected to be used In various application areas since it is using XML technology for easy adaptation and it also con- forms to ALE interface which is standard specification.
