Food safety has emerged as a growing concern for human health in recent times. Consuming contaminated food may lead to serious health problems, and therefore, a system for monitoring food freshness that is both non-detrimental to the quality of food and highly accurate is required to ensure that only high-quality fresh food packages are provided to the customers. This paper proposes a method to monitor and detect food quality using a compact smart sensor tag. The smart tag is composed of three ultra-low-power sensors, which monitor four major indicators of food freshness: temperature, humidity, and the concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide gases. An RF energy scavenging circuit is integrated into the smart sensor tag to harvest energy from radio waves at a high frequency of 13.56 MHz to supply sufficient power to the tag. Experimental results show that the proposed energy harvester can efficiently obtain energy at a distance of approximately 40 cm from a 4 W reader. In addition, the proposed smart sensor tag can operate without any battery, thereby eliminating the requirement of frequent battery replacement and consequently decreasing the cost. Meanwhile, the freshness of preserved pork is continuously monitored under two conditions--room temperature and refrigerator temperature--both of which are the most common temperatures under which food is generally stored. The food-monitoring experiments are conducted over a period of one week using the proposed battery-less tag. Based on the experimental results, the food assessment is classified into four categories: fresh, normal, low, and spoiled.

고품질의 오디오 표준인 MP3포맷의 사용이 증가하면서, 오디오 데이터 외에 작곡가, 가사 등의 관련정보를 함께 저장하려는 요구가 나타났고 이를 만족하는 태깅 시스템들이 등장했다. 특히 ID3 vl 태그와 Lyrics3 v2 태그를 함께 사용하는 태깅 방법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이 태그들은 MP3 파일 내에서 오디오 스트림의 뒷부분에 기록되므로, 이러한 태깅 방법이 적용된 MP3 파일이 스트리밍 방식으로 전달되는 경우 사용자는 전체 스트림이 로컬 시스템에 전송되기 전까지 태그 정보를 볼 수 없다. 또한 태그 정보들 중 오디오 스트림에 시간적으로 동기화된 정보들은 동기화의 기능을 잃는다. 본 논문에서는 원격지로부터 전달되는 MP3 파일의 재생시 태그 정보가 무시되는 문제를 해결하였다. XML을 사용하여 MP3 오디오 객체를 모델링하였고, 그 요소들의 시간관계성과 동기성을 HTML+TIME 방식으로 표현하는 XSL 문서를 설계하여 오디오 데이터가 시간성과 동기성을 가지고 웹 상에서 재생되도록 하였다.

All over the value chain, a logistics information system must satisfy several requirements about gathering and sharing related information. For example, distributors or forwarders need up-to-date information for scheduling and managing their logistics resources. Meanwhile, consignors or consignees want to know the dynamic information about current states or location of their goods. Such information is dependent upon the quality of data sets collected throughout the logistics processes. Thus, gathering accurate data promptly is the essential factor for the success of a logistics information system. However, there are limits in reducing both time-gap and man-power for datn sourcing, since this process is done manually or by using bar codes and scanning devices. Smart-tag can be the alternative to such n time-consuming and inefficient operation, especially for handling piles of goods. The tag includes a micro-chip containing data which is remotely readable by readers with antenna. Logistics system with Smart tag can provide all the information anywhere and anytime, and it will increase the efficiency of logistics and satisfaction of users. In this paper, we propose a conceptual architecture for smart-tag based logistics system and describe its functions.

In Korea, a need of automatic dairy farm management system has been increased to lower production cost and to strengthen international competition. However, the present management system was mostly relied on foreign technologies and caused some problems in post management and after-sales services. Therefore, though there is a problem of price and quality at present, domestic technologies of the management system should be developed for the long run. This study was conducted to develop an electronic identification unit for an automatic dairy farm management system. The developed system was consisted of a tag, a reader, a switching circuit, and a personal computer. The tag attachable to each individual cow was developed to transmit individual radio frequency(RF) code into the air with modulation of ASK(amplitude shift keying). And the switching circuit was added to avoid confusion on reception and transmittance. The reader attached to a feeding device was developed to transmit activating signal periodically and to identify code of the individual tag when the tag was approached to the device. The reader was consisted of an active filter, a detecter, a comparator and a microcontroller. The test result was feasible enough to apply it for the automatic farm management system and the identified maximum distance was about 37cm.

This study was performed to develop a rapid immuno-assay kit, by using a specific antigen to detect Hanwoo brand meat. We selected a synthetic antigen specific to our target antibody, named BIO-TAG (Tyr-D-Ala-Phe), by utilizing a computer-based analysis and literature review. BIO-TAG tagged with adjuvant was subcutaneously injected in sheep and Hanwoo. The serum and meat juice of the immunized or non-immunized animal were then analyzed, to measure the titer of antibody by ELISA and Western blot. The amount of antibodies against the BIO-TAG increased (p<0.05) in serum by vaccination. Furthermore, meat juice from the immunized Hanwoo showed greater (p<0.05) antibody titer, compared with those from non-immunized groups. To optimze the dilution factor, we performed dot-ELISA, with various combination levels of BIO-TAG. Results from dot-ELISA showed that 2 mg/mL BIO-TAG was sufficient to distinguish the immunized meat from non-immunized groups. These results support our hypothesis that simple immunization of Hanwoo generates a sufficient amount of antibodies to be detectable in the meat juice by means of the immune-assay. Therefore, specific Hanwoo brand meat can be more precisely identified by our rapid diagnostic kit. This technology can deter possible fraud of counterfeit meat brands in the Korean domestic market with ease and rapidity; and offers a new tool that guarantees consumers high quality Hanwoo brand beef.

웹 문서를 자동으로 수집하면 대량의 정보를 손쉽게 모을 수 있다. 이러한 정보 수집 과정을 위해 웹 문서에서 메뉴, 광고 등 불필요한 정보를 제거하고 본문을 자동으로 추출할 필요가 있다. 특히 한국어 웹문서는 영어권과 달리 메타데이터가 포함된 경우가 드물고 디자인이 복잡하여 한국어 웹에 맞는 자동 본문 추출 방법이 필요하다. 기존의 본문 추출 방법은 주로 본문 블록의 문자적, 구조적 특성을 활용한다. 시각적 특성을 처리하기 위해서는 렌더링, 이미지 처리 등에 많은 계산이 필요하기 때문이다. 이 논문에서는 HTML에서 태그 위치를 준-시각적 특성으로 활용한 새로운 본문 추출 방법을 제시한다. 태그 위치는 텍스트의 길이에 따라 가변적이기 때문에 태그 서열 위치라는 특성을 개발하였고, 이를 경사 부스팅과 함께 이용하면 정확한 본문 추출이 가능함을 보인다. 본 논문의 연구 결과는 텍스트 분석에 필요한 양질의 문서 자료를 다양한 형태의 웹페이지에서 자동으로 수집하는 데에 쓰일 수 있다.
