In this paper, we proposed the implementation of software-based 2D BitBLT engine on the pSOS operating system and the operation of the BitBLT engine on patient monitoring device was verified. To verify the proposed method on the patient monitoring device, we designed prototype PCB board, and verified the operation. We designed the motherboard by using ARM9-based CPU. Because hardware-based BitBLT module was replaced with software-based one, CPU load problem was weighted. To solve this problem, w changed 400Mhz processor instead of 200Mhz processor. We implemented 2D BitBLT kernel module as a device driver which is one of the key elements of a graphics controller GUI in patient monitoring device.

When we transformed from Monochrome-data to Color-data in text mode, we used hardware-method to design the circuit which is convertible in real time. We saved color information in every screens that can make screen in Color Palette ROM and it is also generated 8bit. lower 4bit assign foreground color and upper 4bit can design to have background color. We have Address Reduction ROM to remove repeated address and reduce volume of Color Palette ROM to 1/16. Besides, we have many D-FF to save address, data and page information temporarily after that, we have management process 8 times through counter in real time. Finally, we chose either foreground color or background color in multiplex and established color information was sended to the color video controller. Thus, you can use it as a good interface when yow transfer many control devices with Monochrome display (ex, LCD Monitor) into devices with Color display.

Applications running under embedded systems require various device drivers designed for different types and versions of the OS to manage resources effectively. In this paper, an automated device driver generator system which can generate the device drivers to be used in newer versions the target OS is proposed. In the proposed system, the structures of device drivers of specific OS are designed in the templates and stored in a library, and the target device drivers are generated by adding codes to the stored templates. Once device drivers are generated, they are registered into the kernel. The experimental results show that data transfer time has been slightly increased when compared against manually created drivers for TFT-LCD driver, USB interface keyboard/mouse driver, and AC'97 controller drivers. The code size for the generated drivers after compilation has also been increased slightly when compared with manually designed device drivers.

This thesis analysis the CARBO 3000 that is one of a $CO_2$ infuser and improve its effectiveness. The thesis designs H/W and S/W that controls the $CO_2$ infusing mass compared to the CARBO 3000. Specially the designed H/W has a newly CPU, LCD, a flow velocity controller, a solenoid valve and a flow sensor. Also the designed S/W is composed of GUI and the algorithm to control the $CO_2$ infusing mass. The designed and implemented the $CO_2$ Infuser in this thesis is tested for the performance. The commercial measuring sensor is used for the test. The testing results say that the designed and implemented the $CO_2$ Infuser in this thesis is much more accurate compared to the CARBO 3000 on $CO_2$ infusing.

This paper presents a radio-telemetry patient monitor. which is used for intensive cal?e units. emergency and surgical operation rooms to monitor continuously patients' vital signs. The radio-telemetry patient monitor consists of a vital sign acquisition unit. wireless data transmission units and a vital sign-monitoring unit. The vital sign acquisition unit amplifies biological signals, performs analog signal to serial digital data conversion using the one chip micro-controller. The converted digital data is modulated FSK in UHF band using low output power and transmitted to a remote site in door. In comparison with analog modulation. FSK has major advantages to improve performance with respect to noise resistance with fower error and the potential ability to process and Improve quality of the received data. The vital sign-monitoring unit consists of the receiver to demodulate the modulated digital data, the LCD monitor to display vital signs continuously and the thermal head printer to record a signal.

In this paper, a control system for a complex microbial incubator was proposed. The proposed control system consists of a control unit, a communication unit, a power supply unit, and a control system of the complex microbial incubator. The controller of the complex microbial incubator is designed and manufactured to convert analog signals and digital signals, and control signals of sensors such as displays using LCD panels, water level sensors, temperature sensors, and pH concentration sensors. The water level sensor used is designed and manufactured to enable accurate water level measurement by using the IR laser method with excellent linearity in order to solve the problem that existing water level sensors are difficult to measure due to foreign substances such as bubbles. The temperature sensor is designed and used so that it has high accuracy and no cumulative resistance error by measuring using the thermal resistance principle. The communication unit consists of two LAN ports and one RS-232 port, and is designed and manufactured to transmit signals such as LCD panel, PCT panel, and load cell controller used in the complex microbial incubator to the control unit. The power supply unit is designed and manufactured to supply power by configuring it with three voltage supply terminals such as 24V, 12V and 5V so that the control unit and communication unit can operate smoothly. The control system of the complex microbial incubator uses PLC to control sensor values such as pH concentration sensor, temperature sensor, and water level sensor, and the operation of circulation pump, circulation valve, rotary pump, and inverter load cell used for cultivation. In order to evaluate the performance of the control system of the proposed complex microbial incubator, the result of the experiment conducted by the accredited certification body showed that the range of water level measurement sensitivity was -0.41mm~1.59mm, and the range of change in water temperature was ±0.41℃, which is currently commercially available. It was confirmed that the product operates with better performance than the performance of the products. Therefore, the effectiveness of the control system of the complex microbial incubator proposed in this paper was demonstrated.

A conventional motor in a crane has a taco generator to feed back the number of turns to a main controller. The taco generator is contacted to a motor shaft through the coupling. Errors in a crane have often occurred because the coupling has worn out while the motor is turning. In this paper, we design the device of the frequency to voltage transducer in a motor. The device is composed of a rotary encoder, a speed measurement using PIC16F84 controller, a display, and a direction-decision block. The rotation of a motor is recognized by the rotary encoder and microcontroller counts the number of turns of a motor. The emergency signal is generated if the frequency goes over or below the speed limit of a motor. And the device can acknowledge the rotation direction of the motor after 6。 rotation. The simulation results and the test for a implemented device have shown that the transducer of a frequency to a voltage can replace a taco generator in a crane.
