Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have led to the development of a new field in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as cancer. An efficient synthesis of gold nanoparticles within the range of 8~57 nm was established by ${\gamma}-ray$ irradiation. The good point of a radiation-based method is the production of gold nanoparticles with a higher concentration and narrower size distribution compared with conventional methods. The size of gold nanoparticles was controlled using two methods. : (i) varying the ${\gamma}-ray$ irradiation dose of 10 to 25 kGy and (ii) varying the concentration of $HAuCl_4$ solution from 4 to 40 mM. In addition, the GNPs were radiolabeled using $[^{125}I]NaI$ in a simple and fast manner with high yields. The produced gold nanoparticles were characterized using a transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a UV-visible spectrophotometer, and a radio-TLC imaging scanner. From these results, these radiolabeled GNPs can be applicable for a radioisotope tag of biomolecules.

In this paper, in order to minimize limitations such as signal interference and positioning errors in existing indoor positioning systems, a smart LED-based positioning system for excellent line-of-sight radio environments and precise location tracking is proposed to improve accuracy. An IEEE 802.4 Zigbee module is mounted on the SMPS board of a smart LED; RSSI and LQI signals are received from a moving tag, and the system is configured to transmit the measured data to the positioning server through a gateway. For the experiment, the necessary hardware, such as the gateway and the smart LED module, were separately designed, and the experiment was conducted after configuring the system in an external field office. The positioning error was within 70cm as a result of performing complex calculations in the positioning server after transmitting a vector value of the moving object obtained from the direction sensor, together with a signal from the moving object received by the smart LED. The result is a significantly improved positioning error, compared to an existing short-range wireless communications-based system, and shows the level at which commercial products can be implemented.

RFID that provide automatic identification by reading a tag attached to material through radio frequency without direct touch has some specification, such as rapid identification, long distance identification and penetration, so it is being used for distribution, transportation and safety by using the frequency of 125KHz, 134KHz, 13.56MHz, 433.92MHz, 900MHz, and 2.45GHz. Also it is one of main part of Ubiquitous that means connecting to net-work any time and any place they want. RFID is expected to be new growth industry worldwide, so Korean government think it as prospective field and promote research project and exhibition business program to linked with industry effectively. RFID could be used for access control of person and vehicle according to section and for personal certify with password. RFID can provide more confident security than magnetic card, so it could be used to prevent forgery of register card, passport and the others. Active RFID could be used for protecting operation service using it's long distance date transmission by application with positioning system. And RFID's identification and tracking function can provide effective visitor management through visitor's register, personal identification, position check and can control visitor's movement in the secure area without their approval. Also RFID can make possible of the efficient management and prevention of loss of carrying equipments and others. RFID could be applied to copying machine to manager and control it's user, copying quantity and It could provide some function such as observation of copy content, access control of user. RFID tag adhered to small storage device prevent carrying out of item using the position tracking function and control carrying-in and carrying-out of material efficiently. magnetic card and smart card have been doing good job in identification and control of person, but RFID can do above functions. RFID is very useful device but we should consider the prevention of privacy during its application.

In this paper, we introduce the performance evaluation and development of Raw VLBI Data Buffer(RVDB) system for the synchronized playback processing of observed data in Korea-Japan Joint VLBI Correlator(KJJVC). The high-speed correlation processing system is under development so that the radio data obtained with 8192 channels and 8 Gbps speed from 16 stations will be able to be processed. When the recorded data of each station are played to correlator, the time synchronization of each station is very important because the correlator should process the data obtained with same time and condition. There are many types of recorder systems in the East Asia VLBI Network (EAVN). Therefore it is required to prepare the special time synchronized playback processing system to synchronize the time tag of observed data. The developed RVDB system consists of Data Input Output(DIO), 10GbE switch, and Disk Data Buffer(DDB). It can record the data with maximum 2 Gbps speed, and can play back the data to correlator with nominal 2 Gbps speed. To enable to play back the data of different playback system to the correlator, we developed the high-speed time synchronized playback processing system. We carried out the experiments of playing back and correlation for gigabit correlator and VCS trial product so as to confirm the performance of developed time synchronized playback processing system. In case of online and offline playing back experiment for gigabit correlator, we confirmed that the online and offline correlation results were the same. In case of playing back experiment for VCS trial product, we verified that the wide band and narrow band correlation results were also the same. Through the playing back experiments of RVDB system, the effectiveness of developed RVDB system was verified. In this paper, the system design, construction and experimental results are shown briefly.

This paper aims at testing the applicability of RFID (radio frequency identification) based link travel time estimation algorithm in urban street settings in Jeju island Korea. For this, we developed algorithm and compared link travel times derived from the RFID probe based algorithm with those from (already available) GPS based link travel time estimation algorithm and with the actual link travel times from survey. RFID readers are composed of master reader and slave reader and the participating passenger cars were supposed to be equipped with RFID tag inside the vehicle. The data were sent to traffic information center and we used those data in comparison. The algorithm produced link travel times in a successful manner and the accuracy of those link travel times was about 88%. For the same link segments, the accuracy of GPS based link travel times was 93%. The t-test showed that both RFID and GPS based link travel times were not different in accuracy from statistical point of view. The applicability of RFID was tested successfully and the algorithm proposed seemed to be used in similar urban settings. Some limits and future research agenda have also been presented.

Recently, location recognition technology has attracted much attention, especially for locating people or objects in an indoor environment without being influenced by the surrounding environment GPS technology is widely used as a method of recognizing the position of an object or a person. GPS is a very efficient, but it does not allow the positions of objects or people indoors to be determined. RFID is a technology that identifies the location information of a tagged object or person using radio frequency information. In this study, an RFID system is constructed and the position is measured using tags. At this time, an error occurs between the actual and measured positions. To overcome this problem, a neural network is trained using the measured and actual position data to reduce the error. In this case, since the number of read tags is not constant, they are not suitable as input values for training the neural network, so the neural network is trained by converting them into center-of-gravity inputs and median value inputs. This allows the position error to be reduce by the neural network. In addition, different numbers of trained data are used, viz. 50, 100, 200 and 300, and the correlation between the number of data input values and the error is checked. When the training is performed using the neural network, the errors of the center-of-gravity input and median value input are compared. It was found that the greater the number of trained data, the lower the error, and that the error is lower when the median value input is used than when the center-of-gravity input is used.

While converging USN Services, a single physical infrastructure can be used in several services and in several physical infrastructures can make up a single service. Therefore the physical infrastructure and service have to manage separately for effective convergence of USN Services. However, established Identification Scheme is not suitable to distinguish various services that USN provides. This paper suggests USN Service Identification Scheme that can be separated and managed. Through USN Service Identification Scheme suggested, firstly, it is possible to obtain Service Identification Scheme utilizing various technology such as RFID TAG, QR Code, radio broadcasting, etc. because it is possible to process USN Service Identification Scheme. Secondly, it is easy to mange the service, develope the user application program and interlock with established USN Standard technique as view from service provider. Thirdly, it is possible to manage systematically USN Service. Fourthly, users can search USN Service easily, so it can contribute actively for invigoration of USN service. This thesis, firstly, has analyzed about standard related USN Service and USN Identification Scheme. Secondly, this has suggested brand-new USN Service Identification Scheme based on established USN Identification Scheme.

Increase in the number of older people due to demographic changes poses great challenges to the social healthcare systems both in the Western and as well as in the Eastern countries. Support for older people by formal care givers leads to enormous temporal and personal efforts. Therefore, one of the most important goals is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of today's care. This can be achieved by the use of assistive technologies. These technologies are able to increase the safety of patients or to reduce the time needed for tasks that do not relate to direct interaction between the care giver and the patient. Motivated by this goal, this contribution focuses on applications of acoustic technologies to support users and care givers in ambient assisted living (AAL) scenarios. Acoustic sensors are small, unobtrusive and can be added to already existing care or living environments easily. The information gathered by the acoustic sensors can be analyzed to calculate the position of the user by localization and the context by detection and classification of acoustic events in the captured acoustic signal. By doing this, possibly dangerous situations like falls, screams or an increased amount of coughs can be detected and appropriate actions can be initialized by an intelligent autonomous system for the acoustic monitoring of older persons. The proposed system is able to reduce the false alarm rate compared to other existing and commercially available approaches that basically rely only on the acoustic level. This is due to the fact that it explicitly distinguishes between the various acoustic events and provides information on the type of emergency that has taken place. Furthermore, the position of the acoustic event can be determined as contextual information by the system that uses only the acoustic signal. By this, the position of the user is known even if she or he does not wear a localization device such as a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag.
