  • In this paper, we propose a new approach for compact range sensor system for real-time robot applications. Instead of using off-the-shelf camera and projector, we devise a compact system with a CMOS image-sensor and a DMD (Digital Micro-mirror Device) that yields smaller dimension ($168{\times}50{\times}60mm$) and lighter weight (500g). We also realize one chip hard-wired processing of projection of structured-light and computing the range by exploiting correspondences between CMOS images-ensor and DMD. This application-specific chip processing is implemented on an FPGA in real-time. Our range acquisition system performs 30 times faster than the same implementation in software. We also devise an efficient methodology to identify a proper light intensity to enhance the quality of range sensor and minimize the decoding error. Our experimental results show that the total-error is reduced by 16% compared to the average case.

  • People and goods through the recent smart device, IoT to things and things are connected, it has emerged as the driving force of a new economic growth in the future. While conducting research of this international standardization organization in the IoT-based protocol, to the institutions and companies that belong to the standards bodies interests are different from each other, protocols have been developed also, different order, heterogeneous device interoperability has emerged is a problem that the lowering of. Therefore, in this paper, to investigate the structure of the MQTT and CoAP that are commonly used and trying to figure out the trend of low power consumption, a lightweight protocol that is suitable for IoT environment, process and standardization trends of evolution, features, analysis and on, to derive the advantages and disadvantages, and comparative analysis, it presented a development scheme for each protocol.

  • This paper presents the new linear notion device so called \"inch-werm\" which gets large displacement by incrementally summing small displacements of PZT actuators. Dynamic stiffness of inch-worm is generally low compared to its driving condition due to the requirement of inch-worm like small size and light weight. This low stiffness may degenerate the positional precision of inch-worm. An inch-worm is realized using three PZT actuators, a monolithic moving device and a guide way frame. Finite element method and experimental approach are used to analyse the static and dynamic motion of the designed inch-worm. Command reference input is shaped to reduce the residual vibration of inch-worm. The practical feasibility of inch-worm is also examined by running tests.ing tests.

  • Up to 10% of the global population suffers from color vision deficiency (CVD) [1], especially deuteranomaly and protanomaly, the conditions in which it is difficult to discriminate between red and green hues. For those who suffer from CVD, their career fields are restricted, and their childhood education is frustrating. There are many optical eye glasses on the market to compensate for this disability. However, although they are attractive due to their light weight, wearing these glasses will decrease visual brightness and cause problems at night. Therefore, this paper presents a supplementary device that comprises a head-mounted display and an image sensor. With the aid of the image processing technique of digital color space adjustment implemented in a high-speed field-programmable gate array device, the users can enjoy enhanced vision through the display without any decrease in brightness.

  • For the Space-borne optical imaging payload system design, light weighting and moderate stiffness of mirror and/or mirror fixation device is very important aspects. The front surface of mirror is regulated by optical performance requirement, but the shape of backplate of mirror is to be optimised while satisfing the required stiffness and weight. According to the results, the best shape of backplate cell is triangular. And also related geometric dimensions and the optimised mounting point of MFD(Mirror Fixation Device) is presented. Finally, natural frequencies and shpaes of mirror structure are analysed.

  • In this paper, the existing domestic HVAC systems, devices TCP / IP does not support the most, thereby, not performed remote management, it is necessary to regularly field service, inefficiency and cost bring a burden. This is through a comparison of the IoT-based primary, real-time protocol of what has become a hot topic recently, to be able to control and real-time monitoring through the CCU device in the HVAC system. Compare for this Internet of Things device for real-time monitoring and control of the XMPP, CoAP, MQTT main real-time protocol is used on. Finally, flexibility, light weight, based on MQTT a two-way messaging protocols with reliable message delivery, implements the protocol on the real-time HVAC system in the cloud platform.

  • Organic field-effect transistor (OFET) memory is an emerging device for its potential to realize light-weight, low cost flexible charge storage media. Here we report on a solution-processed poly[9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl]-co-(bithiophene)] (F8T2) nano floating-gate memory (NFGM) with top-gate/bottom-contact device configuration. A reversible shift in the threshold voltage ($V_{Th}$) and the reliable memory characteristics were achieved by incorporation of thin Au nanoparticles (NPs) as charge storage sites for negative electrons at the interface between polystyrene and cross-linked poly(4-vinylphenol).

  • We designed and synthesized DFPCE blue emitting materials by Mc Murry coupling reaction in order to improve the device efficiency and stability. The structure was confirmed by $^1H$-NMR. The physical properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, UV-vis, photoluminescence spectrum and cyclic voltammetry. The decomposition temperature of the material, which correspond to a 5% weight loss upon heating, is $513.58^{\circ}C$. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of DFPCE exhibited blue emission at 425 nm in chloroform solution and 462 nm in film.
