  • During several years, lots of industrial and individual products have been developed based on the text or graphic LCD module which has been gave the short developing period to the developer. With the advent of home networks and intelligent robots, the need for interaction between human and instruments has been increased. Recently, goods with a TFT-LCD come out. But in spite of a simple required performance, the complicated microprocessor, such as ARM processor, is required to interface the TFT-LCD and touch screen. Our research and development is to develope an embedded TFT-LCD module in order to use or apply to the goods through the simple interface by the general users as well as the developers. We adopt the RTOS(real time operating system) in order to operate TFT-LCD independently and various communication protocols are provided in order to offer the simple interface to users and developers.

  • Power supply system & environment have been changed according to the universal global electrification, the pursuit of improving productivity and the convenience of life. The various kinds of modem electric facilities and almost of all kinds of digital devices embedded microprocessor are very sensitive to the supplied power quality variations. So, they are stopped and result in large economic damage when even the deterioration of power quality with short duration is occurred, which was not so fatal to the conventional industrial facilities and devices. Conversely, those facilities and digital devices generate many kinds of power quality problems such as harmonic.;, flicker, voltage drop, etc. This paper presents the status of power quality and outlines the development of a new power quality monitoring system based on the experience of a series of authors' researches and field measurements for industrial customers in Korea. It also proposes the functions of the monitoring device and the efficient analysis method based on the Korean electrical act and international standards on power quality. Finally, the authors suggest some countermeasures for advancing the power quality to cope with the competitive electric power market and customers' needs after domestic restructuring of electric power industry.

  • The importance of parallel programming seriously emerges ever since the modern microprocessor architecture has been shifted to the multi-core system. Transactional Memory has been proposed to address synchronization which is usually implemented by using locks. However, the lock based synchronization method reduces the parallelism and has the possibility of causing deadlock. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to utilize transactional memory for the situation which has high contention. The proposed idea is based on the theoretical analysis and it is verified with simulation results. The simulation environment has been implemented using HTM(Hardware Transactional Memory) systems. We also propose a model of the dining philosopher problem to discuss the efficient resource management using the transactional memory technique.

  • We design a control circuit that can switch input power between a rechargeable battery and a sensor communication device (mote) depending on the operating state of a solar cell as well as the active and sleep mode of a sensor MAC protocol. A mote that simply combines a solarcell and a rechargeable battery may die if there is not sunlight long. A battery is recharged if sunlight is sufficient and a device is in a sleep mode, and it supplies power if sunlight is low and the mote is in an active mode. A mote can switch its input power between solar cell and battery depending on the output level of a solar cell. During this switching, a mote may lose its state information due to the reset of a microprocessor by the transient power-off. A capacitor is used to cope with this phenomenon and also supplies power to a mote during a sleep mode. Experimental results show that the solar cell based mote operates in a very stable manner against the lack of sunlight long.

  • The Voice recognition is one of convenient methods to communicate between human and robots. This study proposes a speech recognition method using speech recognizers based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with a combination of techniques to enhance a biped robot control. In the past, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Dynamic Time Wrapping (DTW) were used, however, currently they are less commonly applied to speech recognition systems. This Research confirms that the HMM, an accepted high-performance technique, can be successfully employed to model speech signals. High recognition accuracy can be obtained by using HMMs. Apart from speech modeling techniques, multiple feature extraction methods have been studied to find speech stresses caused by emotions and the environment to improve speech recognition rates. The procedure consisted of 2 parts: one is recognizing robot commands using multiple HMM recognizers, and the other is sending recognized commands to control a robot. In this paper, a practical voice recognition system which can recognize a lot of task commands is proposed. The proposed system consists of a general purpose microprocessor and a useful voice recognition processor which can recognize a limited number of voice patterns. By simulation and experiment, it was illustrated the reliability of voice recognition rates for application of the manufacturing process.

  • Recently, use of the heat transferring machine and systems has been increasing in various industrial fields. A key technique for constructing such process is basically to measuring temperature directly to objects established on industrial plants. Particularly, a non-contact temperature measurement is very important to realize advanced heat transferring systems. This paper presents a new measurement methodology for temperature by using USN(ubiquitous sensor networks) technique including the microprocessor unit based ZigBee communication systems. This proposed system is made to be applied in monitoring systems for non-contact temperature measurement. We designed firmware based measurement systems whose main function is to save s series of temperature data sets and send it to main monitoring systems.

  • This paper proposes a method for detecting faults in conveyor systems used for transportation of raw materials needed in the thermal power plant and cement industries. A small drone was designed in consideration of the difficulty in accessing the industrial site and the need to use it in wide industrial site. In order to apply the system to the embedded microprocessor, hardware and algorithms considering limited memory and execution time have been proposed. At this time, the failure determination method measures the peak frequency through the measurement, detects the continuity of the high frequency, and performs the failure diagnosis with the high frequency components of noise. The proposed system consists of experimental environment based on the data obtained from the actual thermal power plant, and it is confirmed that the proposed system is useful by conducting virtual environment experiments with the drone designed system. In the future, further research is needed to improve the drone's flight stability and to improve discrimination performance by using more intelligent methods of fault frequency.

  • Deep learning technology is used in various fields such as self-driving cars, image creation, and virtual voice implementation, and deep learning accelerators have been developed for high-speed operation in hardware devices. However, several side channel attacks that recover secret information inside the accelerator using side-channel information generated when the deep learning accelerator operates have been recently researched. In this paper, we implemented a DNN(Deep Neural Network)-based MNIST digit classifier on a microprocessor and attempted a correlation power analysis attack to confirm that the weights of deep learning accelerator could be sufficiently recovered. In addition, to counter these power analysis attacks, we proposed a Node-CUT shuffling method that applies the principle of misalignment at the time of power measurement. It was confirmed through experiments that the proposed countermeasure can effectively defend against side-channel attacks, and that the additional calculation amount is reduced by more than 1/3 compared to using the Fisher-Yates shuffling method.
