This paper describes a monocular PSD-based motion capture sensor to employ with commercial video game systems such as Microsoft's XBOX and Sony's Playstation II. The system includes a PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) and active infrared (IR) LED markers that are placed on the object to be tracked. The micro-controller calculates the 3D position of the markers using only the measured intensity and the 2D position on the PSD. A series of experiments were performed to evaluate the performance of our prototype system. From the experimental results we see that the proposed system has the advantages of the compact size, the low cost, the easy installation, and the high frame rates to be suitable for high speed motion tracking in games.

Now is the applications are using WSN for environmental monitoring and surveillance applications, intelligent transportation systems, monitoring, disaster recovery, and the structure used in the field. Also, the low cost of the communication and control functions can be provided, in particular management of smart grid demand may be used in many applications. In this paper, WSN in smart grid is based on the building blocks of smart grid management system proposed for the fuzzy demand.

This paper deals with new scheme of remote load control management system with communication from RCU to controller using power line Power line communication is useful for economical data link but various problems and limitations are caused in using power lines for communications channel. A power line is not so good in the commercial electrical power, and its load noise and high frequency noise are so much. To decrease these noise, we used the FSK(Frequency Shift Keying) modulation method. The experimental results show that the proposed system in this paper is compatible with the conventional system with low cost and the feasibility is very high for new or remodeling plant.

Wireless communication is a telecommunication technology, which enables wireless transmission between the portable devices to provide wireless access in all types of environments. In this research, the measurements and various empirical models are analysed and compared in order to find out a suitable propagation model to provide guidelines for cell planning of wireless communication systems. The measured data was taken in urban region with low vegetation and some trees at 900 MHz frequency band. Path loss models are useful planning tools, which permit the designers of cellular communication to obtain optimal levels for the base station deployment and meeting the expected service level requirements. Outcomes show that these empirical models tend to overestimate the propagation loss. As one of the key outputs, it was observed that the calculations of Weissberger model fit with the measured data in urban environment.

This paper proposes a novel low-cost CMOS temperature sensor for controlling the self-refresh period of a mobile DRAM. In this temperature sensor, ring oscillators composed of cascaded inverter stages are used to obtain the temperature of the chip. This method is highly area-efficient, simple and easy for IC implementation as compared to traditional temperature sensors based on analog bandgap reference circuits. The proposed CMOS temperature sensor was fabricated with 80 nm 3-metal DRAM process. It occupies a silicon area of only about less than $0.02\;mm^2$ at $10^{\circ}C$ resolution with under 5uW power consumption at 1 sample/s processing rate. This area is about 33% of conventional temperature sensor in mobile DRAM.

In this paper, a carbon strain gauge for large strain was developed. The carbon strain gauge was fabricated by forming PCB and antenna pattern using Cu/Ni/Au film and carbon resistor pattern using screen printing process on plastic film substrate. It was possible to develop low-cost disposable strain gauge since the carbon paste was cheap and the fabrication process was simple. The wireless communication type carbon strain gauge was fabricated by integrating signal processing circuit, antenna and power all together on the same substrate as a strain gauge. The wireless communication type carbon strain gauge has a merit of being available immediately at the spot without any particular system.

Considering the start-up and economical efficiency, the optical sensor technique using a slotted-disk and an opto-interrupter are appropriate, however, this method needs three opto-interrupters and a slotted-disk when driving the 6/4 pole SRM(switched reluctance motor). In this paper, we propose an economic method by replacing the conventional opto-interrupter and slotted-disk with only optical sensor which enables the motor to start up and forward and reverse operation. Also the control circuit includes only analog devices, which makes the process more economical.

In this paper, we presented the window applicable blind-type frequency selective surface to control the coverage area of wireless communication in secure building or conference room. The proposed frequency selective structure has the reconfigurable frequency range depends on its blind rotation angle. To verify the proposed structure, we fabricated the window blind-type frequency selective surface with four-legged loaded element and ring-type element as a unit cell and performed measurements of the transmission characteristics for different blind rotation angles to prove the feasibility. The measurement results show good agreements with the simulation results. One of the advantages is that the proposed structure does not need to have a bias circuit, so it is very easy to implement at low cost and also can be applied to any planar surface for wireless security applications.

A large number of motors and sensors are used to drive a humanoid robot. In order to solve the wiring problem that occurs when connecting multiple actuators, a controller based on a communication network has been used, and CAN, which is advantageous in terms of cost and a highly reliable communication protocol, was mainly used. In terms of the structure of the controller, a torque control type structure that is easy to implement an advanced algorithm into the upper controller is preferred. In this case, the low communication bandwidth of CAN becomes a problem, and in order to obtain sufficient communication bandwidth, a communication network is configured by separating into a plurality of CAN networks. In this study, a stability analysis on transmission time delay is performed for a multi-motor control system in which high-speed FlexRay and low-speed CAN communication networks are hierarchically connected in order to obtain a high communication bandwidth, and sensor information and driving signals are delivered within the allowed transmission time. The proposed hierarchical network-based control system is expected to improve control performance because it can implement multiple motor control systems with a single network.
