The major drawbacks of magnetic resonant coupled wireless power transfer (WPT) to the embedded sensors on spindles are transmission instability and low efficiency of the transmission. This paper proposes a novel double-loop coil design for wirelessly charging embedded sensors. Theoretical and finite-element analyses show that the proposed coil has good transmission performance. In addition, the power transmission capability of the double-loop coil can be improved by reducing the radius difference and width difference of the transmitter and receiver. It has been demonstrated by analysis and practical experiments that a magnetic resonant coupled WPT system using the double-loop coil can provide a stable and efficient power transmission to embedded sensors.

사물 인터넷(IoT) 산업이 확산되면서 사용자의 정보를 특별한 조작 없이 물체가 스스로 인식하는 일이 매우 중요해졌다. 그중에서도 성별(남, 여)은 생물학적인 구조가 달라 성향이 다르고 사회적으로도 기대하는 바가 다르기 때문에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 하지만 얼굴 이미지를 기반으로 한 성별 인식과 관련된 연구는 동일한 성별이라도 다양한 생김새를 가지고 있어서 여전히 도전적인 분야이다. 그리고 성별인식 시스템을 사물 인터넷에 적용하기 위해서는 디바이스 크기를 소형화 시켜야 하며 저전력으로 구동이 가능해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 저전력으로 실제 사물에서 성별을 인식할 수 있는 기능을 탑재하기 위해 딥 러닝 기반의 성별 인식 알고리즘을 제안하고 이를 모바일 GPU 임베디드 보드에 포팅하여 최종적으로 실시간 성별인식 시스템을 구현하였다. 실험에서는 소비전력과 초당 처리 가능한 프레임 수를 PC환경과 모바일 GPU 임베디드 환경에서 측정하여 저전력 환경에서도 성별 인식이 가능함을 증명하였다.

본 논문은 머신 기술 언어를 이용하여 전력 소모가 최소화된 임베디드 코어 자동 생성 시스템의 설계에 대해 기술한다. 머신 기술 언어를 사용하여 어플리케이션에 적합한 임베디드 코어를 빠른 시간에 설계하기 위해 어플리케이션 실행시 동적 전력 소모가 최소화된 코어를 생성하는 시스템을 구축하였다. 제안된 시스템은 각 인스트럭션의 파이프라인 스테이지의 행위 정보로부터 파이프라인 해저드를 찾아내며 처리하는 능력을 가진 임베디드 코어를 생성한다. 생성된 코어는 파워 소모가 최소화되게 만들어져 있다. 자동 생성 시스템의 검증을 위해 ARM9, MIPS R3000에 대해 SMDL로 기술하고 전력 최적화 과정을 거쳐 HDL 코드를 자동 생성하였으며, 어플리케이션에 대해 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 소모되는 전력을 측정하였다. 실험 결과로 생성된 프로세서는 정확한 동작을 수행하였고, 어플리케이션과 생성된 코어에 따라 동적 전력 소모가 $20%{\sim}40%$ 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다.

Energy consumption of sensor nodes is minimized because it has limited energy generator in wireless sensor network. Electronic shelf label system is one of application fields using wireless sensor networks. Battery size of small apparatus for displaying price is restricted. Therefore its current consumption have to be minimized. Furthermore the method for minimization of peak current would be considered because life cycle of coin battery used to display or RF is vulnerable to intensity of drain current. In this paper, we analyze current consumption pattern of low-power electronic shelf label system. Then we propose the method for minimization of current consumption by modification of software and hardware. Current consumption of the system using proposed method are approximately 15 to 20 percent lower than existing system and the life cycle of the system is approximately 10 percent higher than existing system.

It has become ever harder to design reliable circuits with each nanometer technology node; under normal operation conditions, a transistor device can be affected by various aging effects resulting in performance degradation and eventually design failure. The reliability (aging) effect has traditionally been the area of process engineers. However, in the future, even the smallest of variations can slow down a transistor's switching speed, and an aging device may not perform adequately at a very low voltage. Therefore, circuit designers need to consider these reliability effects in the early stages of design to make sure there are enough margins for circuits to function correctly over their entire lifetime. However, such an approach excessively increases the size and power dissipation of a system. As the impact of reliability, new techniques in designing aging-resilient circuits are necessary to reduce the impact of the aging stresses on performance, power, and yield or to predict the failure of a system. Therefore, in this paper, a novel low power on-chip self-tuning circuit considering the aging effects has been proposed.

Nonvolatile memories in memory hierarchy have been investigated to reduce its energy consumption because nonvolatile memories consume zero leakage power in memory cells. One of the difficulties is, however, that the endurance of most nonvolatile memory technologies is much shorter than the conventional SRAM and DRAM technology. This has limited its usage to only the low levels of a memory hierarchy, e.g., disks, that is far from the CPU. In this paper, we study the use of a new type of nonvolatile memories - the Phase Change Memory (PCM) with a DRAM buffer system as the main memory. Our design reduced the total energy of a DRAM main memory of the same capacity by 80%. These results indicate that it is feasible to use PCM technology in place of DRAM in the main memory for better energy efficiency.

This paper deals with the design and implementation of wireless sensor network protocol for smart power outlet system capable of fire detection, power monitoring, standby power cutoff, and home automation. The proposed protocol integrates both the CSMA and the TDMA protocols for low power consumption and good scalability. A prototype smart power outlet system employing the proposed protocol and a simple home automation network including the power outlet system have been implemented for evaluating the feasibility of the proposed protocol The result shows that the proposed protocol allows the power outlet system to be scalable with high power efficiency.

According to development of wireless communication technologies, we need not only high data rate but low data rate system of low power consumption. This low data rate system is utilized in the field of home automation, health care, sensoring and monitoring, etc. IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN system is the best choice for realizing ubiquitous networking system. In this paper SoC Architecture for IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate WPAN is designed. IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate WPAN system serves the functions and realization of home area network. We propose the SoC architecture for 868/915MHz frequency band of IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate WPAN system. The key issue is to design SoC architecture which provides the function of Low Rate WPAN system to meet the requirement of IEEE 802.15.4 standards.
