Objective: This study aims to find suitable types and styles for gesture interaction as remote control on smart TVs. Background: Smart TV is being developed rapidly in the world, and gesture interaction has a wide range of research areas, especially based on vision techniques. However, most studies are focused on the gesture recognition technology. Also, not many previous studies of gestures types and styles on smart TVs were carried out. Therefore, it is necessary to check what users prefer in terms of gesture types and styles for each operation command. Method: We conducted an experiment to extract the target user manipulation commands required for smart TVs and select the corresponding gestures. To do this, we looked at gesture styles people use for every operation command, and checked whether there are any gesture styles they prefer over others. Through these results, this study was carried out with a process selecting smart TV operation commands and gestures. Results: Eighteen TV commands have been used in this study. With agreement level as a basis, we compared the six types of gestures and five styles of gestures for each command. As for gesture type, participants generally preferred a gesture of Path-Moving type. In the case of Pan and Scroll commands, the highest agreement level (1.00) of 18 commands was shown. As for gesture styles, the participants preferred a manipulative style in 11 commands (Next, Previous, Volume up, Volume down, Play, Stop, Zoom in, Zoom out, Pan, Rotate, Scroll). Conclusion: By conducting an analysis on user-preferred gestures, nine gesture commands are proposed for gesture control on smart TVs. Most participants preferred Path-Moving type and Manipulative style gestures based on the actual operations. Application: The results can be applied to a more advanced form of the gestures in the 3D environment, such as a study on VR. The method used in this study will be utilized in various domains.

Under the hostile influence of the extreme space environmental conditions due to the deep space and direct solar flux, the thermal control in space applications is especially of major importance. There are tight temperature range restrictions for electro-optical elements while on the other hand there are low power consumption requirements due to the limited energy sources on the spacecraft. So, we usually have strong requirement of thermal and power control module in space applications. In this paper, the design concept of a thermal and power control module in the MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera) system which will be a payload on KOMPSATII is described in terms of H/W & S/W. This thermal and power control module, called THTM(Thermal and Telemetry Module) in MSC, resides inside the PMU(Payload Management Unit) which is responsible for the proper management of the MSC payload for controlling and monitoring the temperature insides the EOS(Electro-Optic System) and gathering all the analog telemetry from all the MSC sub-units, etc. Particularly, the designed heater controller has the special mode of "duty cycle" in addition to normal closed loop control mode as usual. THTM controls heaters in open loop according to on/off set time designed through analysis in duty cycle mode in case of all thermistor failure whereas it controls heaters by comparing the thermistor value to temperature based on closed loop in normal mode. And a designed THTM provides a checking and protection method against the failure in thermal control command using the test pulse in command itself.

In this paper, we propose the intelligent robot control technique for mobile robot using personal digital assistants (PDA). With the proposed technique, the mobile rebot can trace human at regular intervals by the remote control method with PDA. The mobile robot can recognize the distances between it and human whom the robot must follow with both multi-ultrasonic sensors and PC-camera and then, can inference the direction and velocity of itself to keep the given regular distances. In the first place, the mobile robot acquires the information about circumstances using ultrasonic sensor and PC-camera then secondly, transmits the data to PDA using wireless LAN communication. Finally, PDA recognizes the status of circumstances using the fuzzy logic and neural network and gives the command to mobile robot again.

Recently, increased accessibility to the Internet makes it possible to access to Internet-connected devices easily. For this reason, anyone can reach and command any device that is connected to the network. But these teleoperation systems have several problems like the network time delay, data loss and development cost of an application for communication with each other. The network time delay phenomenon is the most important in teleoperation system, which disturbs a real time control. The loss data also causes some users not to send correct commands to device or not to receive correct information from devices. To develop an application to communicate between user and device, it needs a comp..

Recently, lots of interest and competition in developments related to the autonomous-vehicle robot are being further increased. However, the absence of the standard architectures for effectively controlling the autonomous-vehicle robot led to many difficulties such as the long duration of development and the uncompatibility with other autonomous-vehicle robots. Accordingly, we implemented a mobile autonomous-vehicle robot system based on JAUS standard architecture. The mobile robot communicates with the remote-control system by using wireless LAN UDP/IP JAUS command massages. Its effectiveness is showed through the experimental results related to the navigation of implemented robot.

SCADA RTU is a remote control unit equipped in substations for automatic operation of a power system. The RTU monitors and measures the operation status of remote substations to transmits the signals to upper SCADA system and receives control command signals from dispatch center to actuate corresponding apparatus. The RTU receives the standard time from GPS receiver to synchronize the times for all devices and acquires the status event of power apparatus using DIM. Without the time synchronization between GPS and RTU, stable operation of the power system and accurate analysis of the system fault are impossible due to the time error of SOE. In this paper, a test is performed to identify if the operation time of SCADA RTU DIM coincides with the standard time. And we tried to find the reason of error, to minimize the time discrepancy. Through this study, RTU operation time could be synchronized with the standard time within 10[ms] to improve the reliability of SOE data.

Recently, various kinds of new computer controlled devices have been introduced in a wide range of areas, and convenient user interfaces for controlling the devices are strongly needed. To implement natural user interfaces(NUIs) on top of the devices, new technologies like a touch screen, Wii Remote, wearable interfaces, and Microsoft Kinect were presented. This paper presents a natural and intuitive gesture-based model for controlling contents of LCD display. Microsoft Kinect sensor and its SDK are used to recognize human gestures, and the gestures are interpreted into corresponding commands to be executed. A command dispatch model is also proposed in order to handle the commands more naturally. I expect the proposed interface can be used in various fields, including display contents control.

The 2nd KOrea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT -2) has been developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) since 2000. Multi Spectral Camera (MSC) is the payload for KOMPSAT -2, which will provide the observation imagery around Korean peninsula with high resolution. KOMPSAT-2 has adopted X-band Tracking System (XTS) for transmitting earth observation data to ground station. For this, data which describes and controls the pre-defined motion of each on-board X-Band antenna in XTS, must be transmitted to the spacecraft as S-Band command and it is called as Tracking Parameter Files (TPF). In this paper, the result of the development of TPF Generation S/W for KOMPSAT-2 X-Band Antenna Motion Control.

The structure of satellite was of six parts of control system, power system, thermal control system, remote measurement command system, propellant system and thrust system. In these parts, propellant system consists of propellant tank and thrust device. What we want to perform is optimum design to minimaize the weight of propellant tank. In order to design optimal propellant tank, several parameters should be adopted form the tank geometry like the relative location of the lug and variation of the wall thickness. So the analysis was executed by finite element analysis for finding optimal design parameters. The structure was devided into 3 parts, the initial thickness zone, the transitional zone, and the weak zone,whose effects on the pressure vessel strength was investigated. Finally the optimal lug location and the three zone thickness were obtained and the weight was compared with the uniform thickness vessel.
