In this paper, we implement a virtual keyboard using infrared distance sensor. A virtual keyboard allows a user to enter characters by selecting keyboard layouts with sensing areas. By projecting infrared light on any flat surface and detection devices we can sense the user's input characters. Unlike a conventional physical keyboard, the virtual keyboard provides convenience in terms of mobility, portability, and space savings.

In this Paper, we Propose the Low-cost Obstacle Recognition System Utilizing the Ultrasonic Sensor. Developed Obstacle Recognition System can be used to Aid the Visually Impaired Person. The Existence of the Obstacle is Notified to the Person through the Embodied Electronic Vibration Motor. The Timing Difference from the Recognition to the Notification Indicates the Distance to the Obstacle. Pulsed Ultrasonic Signal Controlled by MCU is Utilized and the Reflected Pulse through the Obstacle gives the Developed System the Existence of the Obstacle and the Distance to the Object. Pulse is sent Repetitively to Improve the Detection Accuracy. Developed Apparatus gives 30 Degree of Detection Angle and 2cm-30cm of the Detection Range when the Apparatus is Tested under Normal Walking Environment.

When mounting the sensor device in the way of Plug&Play, sensor device drivers need to be loaded and linked dynamically. Since a sensor node platform is based on small 8 bit MCU, dynamic loading and linking technique used in Windows and Linux can not be applied. In this paper, we present how to link and load dynamically sensor device drivers for sensor device Plug&Play. We implement a prototype and evaluate it to make sure that there is no performance degradation like sensor device driver connection speed and memory usage. Connection speed overhead increases to 0.2ms. Memory usage overhead increases to hundreds byte. It shows that there is no heavy influence in running the actual program.

Recently vehicle development trend changes from machinery vehicle to the electrical and electronic devices. As well the electrical and electronic devices commercial vehicles are increasing more than machinery system. The capacitance fuel sensor is a sensor that, by measuring the capacitance value of fuel level sensor MCU operating for the final voltage value of the signal output. That is increasing durability and fuel measurement accuracy more than conventional ceramic resistor type. For Sensor software verification R-BENCH TOOL generated test case automatically. We make the programmable Capacitor board for test. And it was confirmed that more than 98% of the high reliability of the software.

In this paper we propose a lock-in detection method for portable sensor systems and demonstrate with the portable detection module that has high sensitivity and robustness against the noise. The simple portable sensor module is manufactured using MCU(Micro Contorl Unit), OPAMP, MOSFET and a pair of infrared sensor. Manufactured sensor module is testified in the noisy environment caused by an external light and an white noise source. Without any type of band pass filters, we recover a signal of 33 $mV_{p-p}$ in 80 $mV_{p-p}$ white noise and get the DR(Dynamic Reserve) of 14 dB.

Educational equipment that enables the user or device to recognize the indoor position by using the acceleration and angular velocity of the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor is introduced. With this educational equipment, various position recognition and tracking algorithms can be learned and creative engineering design works can be realized. The data value of the IMU sensor is transmitted to the MCU (microcontroller unit) through $I^2C$ (Inter-Integrated Circuit), and the indoor position recognition algorithm is applied by processing the data value through the filter and numerical method. It is then designed to use wireless communication to send and receive processed values and to be recognized by the user. As an example using this equipament, the case of "Implementation and recognition of virtual position using computation of moving direction and distance using IMU sensor" is introduced, and various creative engineering design application is discussed.

앉아서 생활하는 시간이 많은 현대인들에게 올바르게 앉는 자세는 매우 중요하다. 따라서 현대인들이 올바른 자세를 유지할 수 있도록 도와주는 자세 모니터링 시스템을 고안하게 되었다. 이 시스템의 주요 구성으로는 전원부와 계측부, 제어부, 통신부, 안드로이드기반 어플리케이션으로 나눌 수 있다. 전원부는 9V의 건전지 하나로 구성되어 있고, 2개의 레귤레이터를 통해 아날로그 회로(3.3V)와 MCU(5V)에 전원이 공급되어진다. 그리고 계측부는 6개의 압력센서를 이용하여 아날로그 값을 계측한다. 제어부와 통신부는 MCU 보드(MSP430 Launchpad)와 FB155BC Bluetooth Module로 구성되어 있고, 안드로이드기반 어플리케이션은 Bluetooth Module에서 받은 디지털 신호들을 스마트폰의 화면에 UI공정을 거쳐 디스플레이 한다. 본 연구는 잘못된 자세로 의자에 앉는 습관을 스마트폰의 화면을 통해 실시간으로 확인하고, 바른 자세로 앉을 수 있도록 하여 척추교정 및 척추질환 예방에 기여할 것으로 예상된다.

In recent years, the Internet of things has grown rapidly and is being used in many fields. The function of an Internet device isto collect information in various environments and to provide useful information to users. Due to recent developments in technology, the kinds of Internet devices are increasing and the prices are getting cheaper. In addition, many open source platforms that are easy to use have been developed and are providing convenience to users. In this paper, wireless data transmission and cloud server system based on ESP-12E NodeMCU module was designed and sensor information collected from Internet devices was transmitted to cloud server through WiFi wireless communication. The collected sensor data was saved by creating channel and field in the cloud server and the data of each field was visualized as a graph.

This is a study about a platform realization measuring the extent of reaction in nerve, as giving a electrical impulse on a nerve pulp regulating a function of muscle, about a measurement of nerve reaction in the amount of current, the lasting time of current, and the position of electrode from a electrical impuls. The position of an electrode in a electrical nerve impuls have nothing to do with all nerves from exercise to all things. There is the Single Twitch Stimulation, Train-of-four, and Double Burst Stimulation in the form of nerve stimulation. This report is needed for selecting MCU of low electric power for a base in embedded system and measuring the extent of reaction after making a sensor interface to know sensitivity of measuring sensor in basic reaction of nerve impuls. The platform is realized to select a high efficiency AD Convertor for raising accuracy in measured data. As the platform in this report was developed for a medical appliances, it was designed to consider user safety in electric power Isolation when making electric power circuit.
