Various pipes are used in the many industrial field such as water supply, drainage system and marine plants, so a maintenance of these pipes is essential. Especially, the maintenance of the piping in the industrial field, some professional staffs enter and clean the pipe. If the professional staffs can not enter and clean the pipe, the workers has to use the method of inserting a scraper connected to wire inside the pipe. However, this method demands huge budget and causes a number of problems such as traffic congestion. To solve these problems, pipe cleaning robot has been researching and developing. Many Pipe cleaning robots have a problem, that is impossible to confirm the operating condition of the robot in a real time. This paper suggest pipe cleaning robot with RS-485 which transmit operating and cleaning condition of robot and inner pipe filmed by camera, that user can check.

In this paper, we study the coexistence of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based systems beyond 3G (B3G) and point-to-point (P-P) fixed service (FS) microwave systems. The advanced general analytical model derived via a power spectral density (PSD) analysis proposed in this paper has two advantages in comparison with the conventional minimum coupling loss (MCL) method. First, the interfering signal power that appears in the band of a victim system can be easily assessed without a spectrum emission mask. Second, when transmit power is not allocated to some subcarriers overlapping the band of the victim system in order to mitigate B3G OFDM-based systems interference with other systems, the general analytical model can successfully assess the interference from the B3G systems into FS systems, whereas the MCL method incorporating the spectrum emission mask cannot be applied in the presence of the same interference condition. The proposed model can be derived in a closed form and is simply implemented with the help of simulation, and thus the solution can be obtained in significantly reduced time. Through application of the proposed model, coexistence results are analyzed in a co-channel and adjacent channel with respect to guard band and minimum separation distance.

Various approaches directly using vibrations of speakers have been suggested to effectively display the aural information such as the music to the hearing-impaired or the deaf. However, in these approaches, the human can't sense the frequency information over the maximum perceivable vibro-tactile frequency (around 1kHz). Therefore, in this study, an approach via spectral modulation of compressing the high frequency audio information into perceivable vibro-tactile frequency domain and outputting the modulated signals through the designated speakers is proposed. Then it is shown, through simulations of using Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) with Hanning windows and through preliminary experiments of using the vibro-tactile display testbed which is built and interfaced with a notebook PC, that the modulated signal of a natural sound composing sounds of a frog, a bird, and a water stream could produce the noise-free signal suitable enough for vibro-tactile speakers without causing Significant interfering disturbances, Lastly, for three different combinations of information provided to the subject, that is, i) with only video image, ii) with video image along with the modulated vibro-tactile stimuli as proposed in this study to the forearm of the subject, and iii) with video image along with full audio information, the effects to the human sense of reality and his emotion to given audio-video clips including various sounds and images are investigated and compared. It is shown from results of those experiments that the proposed method of providing modulated vibro-tactile stimuli along with the video images to the human has very high feasibility to transmit pseudo-aural sense to the human.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) communications system is very attractive for the high data rate transmissionin the frequency selective fading channel. Since OFDM has high PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio), OFDM signal may be distorted by the nonlinear HPA(high power amplifier). In this paper, we propose an improved dummy sequence scheme for reducing the PAPR in OFDM communication system. This method inserts each different dummy sequence at the predefined sub-carriers fur PAPR reduction. After IFFT, the OFDM data signal with the lowest PAPR is selected to transmit. The complementary sequence is used as dummy sequence. So, it can cut down the computation time and quantity because it dose not require the peak value optimization for finding the phase rotation factor and the transmission of the side information about the rotation factor unlike the PTS method.

Borehole radar is a radar used for underground resources and geological exploration purposes. It needs a high-speed sampler to transmit electromagnetic waves with a pulse width of several ns and to receive reflected waves of several tens to several hundreds of MHz reflected from the object to be surveyed. ETS (Equivalent-Time Sampling), which can achieve sampling performance of several GHz with a sampling frequency of several tens of MHz, is suitable for use as a sampler of a borehole radar receiver. In this paper, we propose a method to control the sampling clock delay, which is the most important factor in ETS sampler design, using four clocks with phase difference of $90^{\circ}$ for one clock source. The proposed method can reduce the time required to acquire the data within the set interval by 1/25 than the conventional method using the delay generator. When the implemented sampler is applied to the receiver of existing borehole radar, it is possible to accumulate 58 additional times due to the shortened sampling time. In addition, by using one delay control logic compared with the conventional method using several sampling clock delay control logic in order to satisfy the target sampling range, it is possible to omit the correction process which was necessary in the past. As a result, the structure of the system can be simplified and a uniform sampler can be realized.

Fish school monitoring technology is utilized for various purposes, such as boat fishing and resource surveys. With advancements in information and communication technology, this technology has expanded its application to remote areas. Its significance has grown in fishing sites, particularly for improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of set-net fishing. Set-net fishing gears are not limited to coastal areas, but are also installed in inland and remote sea regions. Consequently, fishermen require technology that allows them to quickly transmit information about approaching fish schools and enables them to perform long-term monitoring. The development of remote monitoring technology for set-net fish schools must consider crucial design factors such as communication range, transmission speed, power consumption of information modules, and operational expenses. In this study, we developed a low-power remote monitoring module for set-net fish school based on WCDMA. The module was specifically designed to minimize power consumption, allowing for communication over long distances and extended operation times in set-net fishing applications. Furthermore, we developed a web server software application that enables remote access to fish schools and provides real-time weather information. The performance of the developed module was evaluated through set-net fishing site application and experiments with moving ships on the sea. The experimental results demonstrated that the remote monitoring system, consisting of the developed low-power remote monitoring module for set-net fish school based on WCDMA and a fish finder, had an average power consumption of 4.6 W, a maximum communication range of 22.84 km, and a data transmission and reception rate of 98.79%. The maximum fish school information transmission and reception rate was 97.26%

This paper presents the implementation of a Tiling System about Preprocessing functions of JPEG 2000. The system covers the JPEG 2000 standard and is designed to determine the size of the image, to expand the image area and to split input image into several tiles. In order to split the input image with the progressive transmission into several tiles and transmit a tile of this image to others, this system store this image into Frame Memory. Therefore, this is designed as the Finite State Machine (FSM) to sequence through specific patterns of states in a predetermined sequential manner by using Verilog-HDL and be designed to handle a maximum 5M image. Moreover, for identifying image size for expansion, we propose several formula which are based on remainder after division (rem). we propose the true table which determines the size of the image input patterns by using results of these formula. Under the condition of TSMC 0.25um ASIC library, gate count is 18,725 and maximum data arrival time is 18.94 [ns].

Cloud services, which started in the early 2000s as a method of using idle servers, are more active with the advent of the 4th industrial revolution, and are being used in many fields as an optimal platform that can be used for business by collecting and analyzing data. On the other hand, the Internet of Things is an environment in which all surrounding objects can freely connect to the Internet network anytime and anywhere to transmit sensed data. In the Internet of Things, data is transmitted in real time, so BaaS, that is, a cloud service for data only has been added. In this paper, among BaaS services for the Internet of Things, a back-end service method that manages data based on Parse Server is explained, and a service that helps patients in rehabilitation is presented using this. For this, a Raspberry Pi is used as a hardware environment, and it is connected to the Internet, collects patient movement information in real time, and manages it through the Parse Server.

USB(Universal Serial Bus) is one of the most popular communication interfaces. When USB is used in an extended range, especially configurating In-home network by connecting multiple digital devices each other, USB interface uses the bandwidth in the way of TDM(Time Division Multiplexing) so that the bottleneck of bus bandwidth can be brought. In this paper, the more effective usage of bus bandwidth to overcome this situation is introduced. Basically, in order to realize the system for transferring realtime moving picture data among digital information devices, we analyze USB transfer types and Descriptors and introduce the method to upgrade detailed performance of Isochronous transfer that is one of USB transfer types. In the case that Configuration descriptor of a device has Interface descriptor that has two AlternateSetting, if Isochronous transfers are not processed smoothly due to excessive bus traffic, the application of the device changes AlternateSetting of the Interface descriptor and requires a new configuration by SetInterface() request. As a result of this adaptive configuration, the least data frame rate is guaranteed to a device that the sufficient bandwidth is not alloted. And if the bus traffic is normal, the algorithm to return to the original AlteranteSetting is introduced. this introduced method resolve the bottleneck of moving picture transfer that can occur in home network connected by multiple digital devices.
