In this paper, the leakage current detection and auto shut-off module for a concent has been developed. Existing leakage current detection modules are detecting resistive leakage current, using a resistive leakage current detection chip but the proposed leakage current detection module separates and detects resistive leakage current in the synthesis leakage current by only programming in a power processor MCU(MSP430). The module implemented by proposed method has early detection and auto shut-off feature at more than resistive leakage current 5mA, and has the advantage of easily adjusting resistive leakage current less or more than 5mA, because of resistive leakage current detection function being implemented by a program in MCU.

In this research, we produced a simple momentum measurement system which figures out information for the real-time travel distance with modularizing a momentum measurement system by using the acceleration sensor, MCU and Bluetooth to measure the exact momentum. In the simulation experiments, we compared the reliability and accuracy of the new momentum measurement system with those of existing momentum measurement systems to confirm that the new momentum measurement system shows superior reliability and accuracy. Base on this results, we will produce the enhanced momentum measurement system, compact and possible to shoe-mount, in future.

In this paper, it proposes a method that uses an air pump to inject oxygen to water directly to prevent the growth of algae and cyanobacterium using MCU(Micro Controller Unit). MCU can control itself with modules of GPS, a sonic sensor, camera, conveyer belt and water pump to remove and prevent growths of algae. It can also be connected to the smart phone application software to track the system where it is and it can be controlled by the user interfaced with the smart phone application.

In this research, we propose a momentum measurement system using the accelerometer sensor, MCU, and Bluetooth to measure the exact momentum. The proposed system can figure out information for the real time travel distance. We performed various experiments, and analyzed the results using the proposed momentum measurement system. In the simulation experiments, we compared the reliability and accuracy for the existing momentum measurement systems from the analyzed results. The proposed system showed travel distance error of less than 8% as compared to the existing system with the error of approximately 13%. We expect that the proposed system apply to the commercial products.

The study was performed on the development of system in which the bead width can be controlled. In order to control the bead width, we designed the automatic seam tracking device by attaching the probe type strain gauge sensor, motor driving slide and encoder to check the moving distance, and interface card connected MCU(80Cl96KC) upside the speed controllable carriage. Seam tracking experiments were done by changing the bead width. We compared and analyzed the sampling data which were obtained by output voltage of strain gauge sensor and rotary encoder pulse every 50ms.

In this paper, we proposed the DS-SS modem-based communication system for long distance wireless-transmission. The module we designed in this approach contained both convolution encoder and gold-code generator, which aimed at error correcting, T-DES encryption algorithm and spread-spectrum as well. It embodied PC-based GUI program in order to control the such command signal as data transceiver. This program also used to control the specific FPGA/MCU which is able to verify and interface to the modem. We demonstrated the communication system to verify its proper operation by using GUI program and designed hardware. A set of experiments are conducted and as a result, proposed communication system is well operated as the design specification.

Multiple convenience features have been getting installed in recently released cars. However, the control of them has many uncomfortable matters yet. To resolve them, it is needed to study how to use easier the convenience features and control them remotely. Currently, wide range of convergence services are being released in various industries by using smartphone and smartphones with its state-of-the-art functions also are being released. In this paper, we design and implement smartphone-based applications for controling the vehicle's convenience features to control the vehicle convenience features with smartphone. To do this, we configure CAN (Controller Area Network) communication between the vehicle's various convenience features, and establish MCU (Micro Controller Unit) to control each feature. We also connect between the MCU and smartphones to make them available for the remote control. We can control lights, turn signals, audio, windows, air conditioner, and so on with the implemented smartphone-based control service of vehicle's convenience features using CAN remotely.

Buck-Boost LLC (BBLLC) converters based on a PWM + phase control strategy are good candidates for high efficiency, high power density and wide input range applications. Nevertheless, they suffer from large computational complexity when it comes to calculating the optimal phase for ZVS of all the switches. In this paper, a method is proposed for a microcontroller unit (MCU) to calculate the optimal phase quickly and accurately. Firstly, a 2-D lookup table of the phase is established with an index of the input voltage and output current. Then, a bilinear interpolation method is applied to improve the accuracy. Meanwhile, simplification of the phase equation is presented to reduce the computational complexity. When compared with conventional curve-fitting and LUT methods, the proposed method makes the best tradeoff among the accuracy of the optimal phase, the computation time and the memory consumption of the MCU. Finally, A 350V-420V input, 24V/30A output experimental prototype is built to verify the proposed method. The efficiency can be improved by 1% when compared with the LUT method, and the computation time can be reduced by 13.5% when compared with the curve-fitting method.

Prototype Device Model consists of MCU(microcontroller unit), Accelerometer Sensor, Temperature Measuring Sensor, Sound Measuring Sensor, Bluetooth Module, and Camera Module. The proposed application transfers the information to the parent's smartphone and computers, such as infant's falling, crying, and fever detection. A test verified the availability of a prototype infant care system model using Bluetooth Low Energy with operating the low power driving.

A preliminary criticality analysis for novel pyrochemical apparatuses for the reprocessing of mixed uranium-plutonium nitride spent nuclear fuel from the BREST-OD-300 reactor was performed. High-temperature processing apparatuses, "metallization" electrolyzer, refinery remelting apparatus, refining electrolyzer, and "soft" chlorination apparatus are considered in this work. Computational models of apparatuses for two neutron radiation transport codes (MCU-FR and MCNP) were developed and calculations for criticality were completed using the Monte Carlo method. The criticality analysis was performed for different loads of fissile material into the apparatuses including overloading conditions. Various emergency situations were considered, in particular, those associated with water ingress into the chamber of the refinery remelting apparatus. It was revealed that for all the considered computational models nuclear safety rules are satisfied.
