Recently, the number of smartphone users is rising rapidly due to an influx of foreign smartphones and sales of domestic products. According to the increase of smartphone users, smartphone malwares are also increasing sharply. Hence it is necessary to protect smartphone against mobile malwares. There are device management protocols as SNMP, TR-069. But these protocols are not suitable for mobile device management because of restrictive management function and unsupported mobility. OMA DM which is a standard for mobile device management has been adopted as mobile device management protocol for most of 2G,3G. Thus it amounts that OMA DM is suitable for smartphone management system. In this paper, the mobile device management system based on OMA DM is designed. This system can remove smartphone malware by remote control.

In the design of semiconductor integrated circuits, ESD is one of the important issues related to product quality improvement and reliability. In particular, as the process progresses and the thickness of the gate oxide film decreases, ESD is recognized as an important problem of integrated circuit design. Many ESD protection circuits have been studied to solve such ESD problems. In addition, the proposed device can modify the existing SCR structure without adding external circuit to effectively protect the gate oxide of the internal circuit by low trigger voltage, and prevent the undesired latch-up phenomenon in the steady state with high holding voltage. In this paper, SCR-based novel ESD(Electro-Static Discharge) device with the high holding voltage has been proposed. The proposed device has the lower triggering voltage without an external trigger circuitry and the high holding voltage to prevent latch-up phenomenon during the normal condition. Using TCAD simulation results, not only the design factors that influence the holding voltage, but also comparison of conventional ESD protection device(ggNMOS, SCR), are explained. The proposed device was fabricated using 0.35um BCD process and was measured electrical characteristic and robustness. In the result, the proposed device has triggering voltage of 13.1V and holding voltage of 11.4V and HBM 5kV, MM 250V ESD robustness.

This paper aims to prepare basic design education materials explaining the design process of egg drop device by incorporating critico(-creative) thinking. To this end, in this paper, by utilizing the creative problem solving process and the elements and standards of critical thinking, 'the five-step creative engineering design education guidelines' have been prepared so that engineering freshmen can effectively participate in engineering design projects without major knowledge. We would like to apply them to the egg drop device design. The egg drop device design, which is experiment to make and drop a drop device that can protect an egg from breaking when it is dropped freely from high places, is an engineering design project that is widely used not only in elementary, middle and high school science events but also in engineering education courses under the name of 'stunt egg'. Perhaps the basic design education material on the egg drop device design incorporating critico(-creative) thinking in this paper will contribute to incorporating critico(-creative) thinking into engineering education, as well as to achieving the educational goals of the basic design subject.

Fixed speed wind turbine generators system that uses induction generator as a wind generator has the stability problem similar to a synchronous generator. On the other hand, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) has the flexibility to control its real and reactive powers independently while being operated in variable speed mode. This paper focuses on a scheme where IG is stabilized by using DFIG during grid fault. In that case, DFIG will be heavily stressed and a remedy should be found out to protect the frequency converter as well as to allow the independent control of real and reactive powers without loosing the synchronism. For that purpose, a crowbar protection switch or DC-link protecting device can be considered. This paper presents a comparative study between two protective schemes, a crowbar circuit connected across the rotor of the DFIG and a protective device connected in the DC-link circuit of the frequency converter. Simulation analysis by using PSCAD/EMTDC shows that both schemes could effectively protect the DFIG, but the latter scheme is superior to the former, because of less circuitry involved.

In order to effectively protect electrical and electronic circuits which are extremely susceptible to lightning surges, multi-stage surge protection circuits are required. This paper presents the operational characteristics of the two-stage hybrid surge protection circuit in extra-low voltage DC power lines. The hybrid surge protective device consists of the gas discharge tube, transient voltage suppressor, and series inductor. The response characteristics of the proposed hybrid surge protective device to combination waves were investigated. As a result, the proposed two-stage surge protective device to combination wave provides the tight clamping level of less than 50V. The firing of the gas discharge tube to lightning surges depends on the de-coupling inductance and the rate-of-change of the current flowing through the transient voltage suppressor. The coordination between the upstream and downstream components of the hybrid surge protective device was satisfactorily achieved. The inductance of a de-coupler in surge protective circuits for low-voltage DC power lines, relative to a resistance, is sufficiently effective. The voltage drop and power loss due to the proposed surge protective device are ignored during normal operation of the systems.

In high-voltage devices such as thyristor, beveling is mostly used junction termination method to reduce the surface electric field far below the bulk electric field and to expand the depletion region thus that breakdown occurs in the bulk of the device rather than at the surface. However, coating material used to protect the surface of the device contain so many charges which affect the electrical characteristics of the device. And device reliability is also affected by this charge. Therefore, it is needed to analyze the effect of surface charge on electrical characteristics of the device. In this paper, we analyzed the breakdown voltage and leakage current characteristics of the thyristor as a function of the amount of surface charge density. Two dimensional process simulator ATHENA and two-dimensional device simulator ATLAS is used to analyze the surface charge effects.

The structural methods used to protect coastal erosion are usually very expensive in construction as well as in spending on maintaining the structures from damage. Those structures like embankments, breakwaters, jetties etc. are commonly constructed with concretes (rigid methods) to protect coastal erosion. But those rigid methods are not effective always, because the wave energy and impact force on the structures could not be effectively reduced by those methods. For avoiding sediment erosion on coastal areas by the way of reducing wave energy, a flexible breakwater is introduced which will reduce energy and protect coastline economically and environmentally. The flexible device is a combination of flexible wire nets and stack of rings made of used vehicle tires and soft blades on surfaces. This flexible wire net is placed in between two stacks of rings. The stack of rings is mainly used to hold the flexible wire nets and the flexible wire net is mainly used to reduce wave energy and helps to deposit sediments in coastal area. For a field experiment study, the above-mentioned flexible breakwater of coastal protection has been set up at the Shuang-Chun coastal area in Tainan County since June 10, 2009. The length of the flexible device is 50.0 meters and the height is 2.0 meters. The function of the device has been examined by Typhoon Linfa during June 19~22, 2009 and by Typhoon Morakot during August 6~10, 2009. The result shows that the flexible breakwater has effectively trapped sediments and let them deposit on coastal. The depth of sediment deposition around the device was about 0.5 to 0.8 meters.
