  • Solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) is an electrochemical energy device which converts the free energy of fuel gas directly to electric energy. SOFC has several diratinct advantages over other types of fuel cells: no use of noble metals, no requirement of a reformer, no problem of liquid electrolyte management, and no problem of corrosion by liquid electrolyte. In this study, we have investigated the cell components and the single cell of the planar SOFC fabricated by composite plate process, in which green films of electrolyte, anode and cathode were co-fired. The planar SOFCs were tested and the cell performance characteristics wag evaluated by using electrochemical methods.

  • With the advancement in the field of image processing, images are being processed using various image processing algorithms. Nowadays, many efficient content-aware image resizing techniques are being used to safeguard the prominent regions and to generate better results that are visually appealing and pleasing while resizing. Advancements in the new display device with varying screen size demands the development of efficient image resizing algorithm. This paper presents a survey on various image retargeting methods, comparison of image retargeting results based on performance, and also exposes the main challenges in image retargeting such as content preservation of important regions, distortion minimization, and improving the efficiency of image retargeting methods. After reviewing literature from researchers it is suggested that the use of the single operator in image retargeting such as scaling, cropping, seam carving, and warping is not sufficient for obtaining satisfactory results, hence it is essential to combine multiple image retargeting operators. This survey is useful for the researchers interested in content-aware image retargeting.

  • We demonstrate the use of screen printing in the fabrication of highly efficient phosphorescent polymer organic-light-emitting devices (OLEDs) based on a green-emitting $Ir(ppy)_3$ and a host polymer PVK. We incorporate PBD in the polymer host as an electron-transporting dopant and ${\alpha}-NPD$ as a hole transporting dopant. The best screen printed single-layer device exhibits very high peak luminous efficiency of 63 cd/A at a relatively high operating voltage of 17.1 V at the luminance of $650\;cd/m^2$. We observed the highest luminance of $21,000\;Cd/m^2$ at 35V. Due to the high operating voltage, despite of the high peak luminous efficiency the peak power efficiency was found to be 12.2 lm/W at the luminance of $470\;cd/m^2$ (15.9 V).

  • In this paper, we propose a hypervisor for embedded systems based on ARM microprocessor. The proposed hypervisor makes it possible to run several real-time kernels concurrently on a single embedded system by virtualizing its microprocessor. With assistance of MMU, it supports virtual memory which enables each guest operating system has its own address space. Exploiting the fact that most embedded systems use memory-mapped I/O device, it provides a mechanism to distribute an external interrupt to virtual machines properly. It also achieves load balancing through live migration which moves a running virtual machine to other embedded system. Unlike other para-virtualization techniques, minor modifications are needed to run it on the hypervisor. Extensive performance measurement studies are conducted to show that the proposed hypervisor has enough potentiality of its real-world application.

  • The real-time monitoring and controlling between the interior and the field signaling security devices is a necessity for the train safety in terms of the train operating plan. The type wiring lower the safety level of signaling security device, because too much wiring makes the maintenance more difficult and it might be have a problem of an induction field and contact. It also need high cost. The single network communication(Fieldbus) does not need that much wiring, and the maintenance will be easier. It also guarantee the high level of stability.

  • The theroy of variable structure control system (VSS) is applied to the position control for DC servo-motors. In order to use the microcomputer as a control device, the principles of VSS for the continuous-time system are extended to the discrete-time system. A new switching law is proposed to achieve the reduction of chattering. It adds a new switching structure to the conventional switching sturctures. This switching region is set near and including the conventional switching curve. The new algorithm is obtained for single-input second order system, and applied to the position control of a DC servo-motor. Experimental results show that the transient behavior is improved due to the reduction of chattering and good robustness properties are demonstrated.

  • This paper proposes an embedded system that detects mask and face recognition based on a microprocessor instead of Nvidia Jetson Board what is popular development kit. We use a class of efficient models called Mobilenets for mobile and embedded vision applications. MobileNets are based on a streamlined architechture that uses depthwise separable convolutions to build light weight deep neural networks. The device used a Maix development board with CNN hardware acceleration function, and the training model used MobileNet_V2 based SSD(Single Shot Multibox Detector) optimized for mobile devices. To make training model, 7553 face data from Kaggle are used. As a result of test dataset, the AUC (Area Under The Curve) value is as high as 0.98.

  • With the proliferation of activity-tracking devices and other smart tools, more users leverage these personal informatics technologies to track their physical and fitness-related activities. The research on the benefits (and limitations) of these devices tends to focus on the use of a single tool, leaving out the interactions among multiple technologies, and how these interactions influence the way users perceive their affordances. Building from an ecological perspective, I extend this research by providing insight into the competitive and complementary relationships among activity tracking devices and other fitness-related and personal informatics technologies within the device ecology of technologies around the user. The affordances of these devices are therefore not enacted in isolation but are relational to understanding of other technological options and differing personal preferences and goals of the user.

  • The Infrared touch method is generally used for a mid and large-size touch screen. But this method has several problems, such as difficulty with installation of a touch-object recognition device, limited application and coordinate error in multi-point touch system. Since we can take advantages of both color and local information when we use general cameras for a touch screen, a touch screen using general camera is more efficient than infrared one. It also has an advantage of easy installation of a touch-object device. However, it did not much appeal in a market because of several problems, such as color sensitivity, illumination and reflected light. In this paper, we study a method for a touch screen using a general camera and image processing method to recognize touch objects and coordinate calculation method to single and multi-point touch screen. It has the same recognition performance as an infrared touch screen for single-point method. And it does not have ghost point problem by using distance information of touch object and camera in multi-point touch system. But recognition performances of multi-point touch screen are less than single-point. If we improve execution time, this method can replace an infrared method for a single point touch screen, according to result of experience.
