사람의 얼굴 추적은 디지털 캠코더, 디지털 카메라, 휴대폰 등과 같은 휴대용 멀티미디어 장치에 대해 점차 중요한 이슈가 되어 왔다. 갈수록 확대되어 가는 얼굴 추적 응용 서비스 요구에 대해 소프트웨어 구현 대응은 성능 및 전력 소모 면에서 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 실시간으로 동작할 수 있는 하드웨어 기반의 저전력 얼굴 추적 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 시스템은 FPGA 프로토타이핑과 삼성 65nm CMOS 공정으로 구현하여 검증하였고, 8.4 msec 미만의 추적 속도와 15만 게이트의 크기를 가지며 평균 20 mW의 동작 전력소모를 보여 실시간으로 동작하는 저전력 휴대용 멀티미디어 기기에 적합함을 입증하였다.

It is desirable to monitor the vital signals, such as ECG, of a emergency patient during transfer in the hospital as well as in the ambulance. The purpose of this study is to develop a system which provides a real-time and wireless ECG to the medical staff nearby patient during transfer in hospital. In this context, we developed a low-power, low-cost and portable ECG system consisting of 1) ECG measurement and RF transmission module and 2) RF receiving and LCD display module. The developed system is expected to be useful in monitoring ECG of a patient during transfer in the hospital.

A portable torque and power measurement system for small farm equipment based on instrumented pulley was developed. The prototype pulley was machined from mild steel, with spokes serving as strain beams. Strain gages mounted to the spokes sense the bending strain due to the torque and convert this into millivolt output. Calibration results showed the torque-millivolt relationship was linear, while hysterisis and error were less than 1% fs. For power measurements, an additional tachmeter with dcvoltage output is necessary. With the tachometer , error in power measurement was +-1.03W or 0.2% fs. Field tests showed that for ease of installation, no machine alteration needed and safety, this system had advantage over other methods for small farm equipment.

The necessity to distribute energy wirelessly has been spurred by the tremendous growth in the use of portable devices. Mobile devices have become ubiquitous and the circuits within them have been optimized to consume extremely low amounts of power. Such portable electronic sets are in constant use and the frequent need to recharge them; using conventional wired mechanisms have hindered the mobility of users. Wireless transmission of energy to power-up devices has been proposed since the days of Tesla and since then many theories and methods have been invented. This paper discusses some of those techniques briefly.

This study presents a new portable eight-output light emitting diode (LED) driver. The eight output-channels are divided into two equal groups, and their output powers can be controlled individually by three active switches. In addition, a simple capacitor-based passive current balancing circuit (CBC) is employed in each port to guarantee that the currents of the four LEDs are the same. When compared with the conventionally used separate two-output isolated converters, the proposed one uses one less active switch. Moreover, zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) is achieved, which improves the power efficiency of the driver. Finally, a highly compact prototype is built, which can reach an efficiency of 94.6%.

Flash memories are one of best media to support portable computer's storages in mobile computing environment. The features of non-volatility, low power consumption, and fast access time for read operations are sufficient grounds to support flash memory as major database storage components of portable computers. However, we need to improve traditional transaction management scheme due to the relatively slow characteristics of flash operation as compared to RAM memory. in order to achieve this goal, we devise a new scheme called Flash Two Phase Locking (F2PL) scheme for efficient transaction processing. F2Pl improves transaction performance by allowing multi version reads and efficiently handling slow flash write/erase operation in lock management process. We also propose a simulation model to show the performance of F2PL. Based on the results of the performance evaluation, we conclude that F2PL scheme outperforms the traditional scheme.

The purpose of this study is to develop a portable gait-event detection system which is necessary for the cycle-to-cycle FES(functional electrical stimulation) control of locomotion. To make the system portable, we made following modifications in the gait signal measurement system. That is, 1) to make the system wireless using Bluetooth communication, 2) to make the system small-sized and battery-powered by using low power consumption ${\mu}$ P(ATmega8535L). The gait-events were analyzed in off-line at the main computer using ANN(Artificial Neural Network). The Proposed system showed no mis-detection of the gait-events of normal subject and hemiplegia subjects. The performance of the system was better than the previous wired-system.

Recently, flash memories are one of best media to support portable computer's storages in mobile computing environment. The features of non-volatility, low power consumption, and fast access time for read operations are sufficient grounds to support flash memory as major database storage components of portable computers. However, we need to improve traditional Indexing scheme such as B-Tree due to the relatively slow characteristics of flash operation as compared to RAM memory. In order to achieve this goal, we devise a new indexing scheme called F-Tree. F-Tree improves tree operation performance by compressing pointers and keys in tree nodes and rewriting the nodes without a slow erase operation in node insert/delete processes. Based on the results of the performance evaluation, we conclude that F-Tree indexing scheme outperforms the traditional indexing scheme.

The fast development of electronic devices towards wireless, portable and multi-functionality desperately needs the self-powered and low maintenance power sources. The possibility to coupling the nanogenerator to wearable and portable electronic device facilitates the self powered device with independent and self sustained power source. Nanogenerator has ability to convert the low frequency mechanical vibration to electrical energy which is utilized to drive the electronic device [1]. The self powered power source has the ability to generate the power from environment and human activity has attracted much interest because of place and time independent. The human body motion based energy harvesting has created huge impact for future self powered electronics device applications. The power generated from the human body motion is enough to operate the future electronic devices. The energy harvesting from human body motion based on triboelectric effect has simple, cost-effective method [2, 3] and meet the required power density of devices. However, its output is still insufficient to driving electronic devices in continues manner so new technology and new device architecture required to meet required power. In the present work, we have fabricated the triboelectric nanogenerator using PDMS polymer. We have studied detail about the power output of the device with respect to different polymer thickness and varied separation distance.

파워 매니지먼트는 휴대용 전자 기기에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 휴대용 전자 기기는 배터리의 수명을 증가시키기 위해 LDO와 같은 파워 효율적인 파워 매니지먼트를 요구한다. 그래서 배터리 전원을 사용하는 휴대폰, 카메라 레코더, laptop, 자동차 전장용, 산업용 기기 등의 응용에서는 배터리의 전압변동이 크기 때문에, 배터리 전원을 그대로 사용하지 않고 내부회로의 전원을 제공해 주는 LDO를 이용한다. 레귤레이터는 배터리 전원전압 보다 낮은DC전압을 내부회로에 제공하며, 큰 변동을 보이는 배터리 전압에 관계없이 일정한 DC전압을 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 0.18um CMOS 공정기술로 제작된 온칩 LDO의 파워 세이브 모드 전류 특성과 IR-Drop 특성을 파악해 보았다.
