In this paper force feedback control system is investigated for improving the quality of the haptic feedback in virtual reality applications. We suggested the method of controlling the haptic device and modelling the virtual environment. Haptic device is composed of five bar link structure, voice coil motor, control board, and virtual environment modeling program. We applied voice coil motor in the actuating system for simple structure and easy control. Virtual environment modelling is constructed in PC, and the control signals of the actuators and the encoder data are transferred to the control system through USB. Experiment is performed to evaluate the characteristics of the haptic device.

In this paper, we introduce a real-time stereo-to-multiview conversion system using FPGA and GPU. The system is based on two different devices so that it consists of two major blocks. The first block is a disparity estimation block that is implemented on FPGA. In this block, each disparity map of stereoscopic video is estimated by DP(dynamic programming)-based stereo matching. And then the estimated disparity maps are refined by post-processing. The refined disparity map is transferred to the GPU device through USB 3.0 and PCI-express interfaces. Stereoscopic video is also transferred to the GPU device. These data are used to render arbitrary number of virtual views in next block. In the second block, disparity-based view interpolation is performed to generate virtual multi-view video. As a final step, all generated views have to be re-arranged into a single image at full resolution for presenting on the target autostereoscopic 3D display. All these steps of the second block are performed in parallel on the GPU device.

In this paper, by applying the constant current principle we develop an impedance measurement system which can measure the high precision impedance of various electric materials by using microprocessor. This measurement system board has an interface device for acquiring digital data from an external device including an impedance measuring device, and system software is also developed by a firmware program executed on such an embedded board. It can measure the high precision impedance of a specific band with 1/32768 precision by using 15-bit ADC(analog to digital converter) and calculate it to the five digits to the right of the decimal point(fraction part). Data is transmitted through a USB interface of a general computer and a measuring device to manage digital data. An impedance measurement system equipped with a communication function capable of a more general and easy-to-use interface than other equipment is developed and verified.

VR 엔진은 일부 입력장치에 대해서만 제한적으로 지원하기 때문에, 개발자가 원하는 입력장치를 사용하지 못하는 경우가 있으며, 가격 또한 고가이기 때문에 특수한 입력장치를 사용하기 위해, 다른 VR 엔진이나 별도의 옵션을 구매하기에는 경제적인 부담이 많이 든다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 개발자가 사용하고자 하는 입력장치와 VR 엔진의 호환을 위한 랩퍼 클래스를 제안한다. 개발한 랩퍼 클래스는 VR 엔진에서 조이스틱을 제어할 수 있는 조이스틱 클래스와 USB 캠을 통하여 영상을 획득하기 위한 USB 캠 클래스이다. 조이스틱 클래스는 입력장치 클래스를 상속받은 후 DirectX 를 이용하여 입력장치를 셋업 하고, 입력장치의 데이터 값을 처리한 후 VR 엔진의 API 로 값을 넘겨주기 전에 후킹하여 조이스틱을 제어할 수 있다. USB 캠 클래스는 VFW(Video for Window)를 사용하여 캠의 영상을 획득하여 버퍼에 저장한 후 VR 엔진의 디스플레이 버퍼에 값을 넘겨서 캠의 영상을 VR 엔진에서 디스플레이 할 수 있다. 이러한 방법을 통해 조이스틱, USB 캠 같은 입력장치를 VR 엔진과 호환할 수 있으며, 다른 종류의 입력장치에 대하여서도 본 연구에서 개발한 랩퍼 클래스를 상속받아 사용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 사용한 VR 엔진은 Vega Prime 엔진이며, Vega Prime 엔진의 API 에 개발한 랩퍼 클래스를 추가하여 드라이빙, 영상인식 시뮬레이터를 개발한 결과, 효과적이고 경제적으로 입력장치의 연동이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, the 4th Industrial Revolution has been emerged and various products are developed and commercialized in preparation of the communication failure. Many solutions are underway in Back-Up Network for IDC Servers, but not in the personal or sensor for low-power system use. Therefore we used the OpenWRT Firmware in Raspberry Pi which can be easily obtained in online market, and it created a low-power load balancer. Therefore, we developed the device that uses LTE Antenna based on USB Interface for communication fault notification and important data. The equipment used in this paper is easy to buy in online shop for anyone. Also, it can be applied in other vendors' boards by using USB. We hope that this paper will contribute to the stability of individual sensor networks.

Communicating devices for the seriously disabled using eye-ball movement or some body movement are proposed. The first one is a device to use image processing, whose input signal is eyeball movement, A feature of this device is that the device can be readily realized using a note-book computer with USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface bus. This device is incorporated with a word processing software called Nearly Ladder. The second one is an emergency call switch which is used by a patient who can move his finger slightly. The patients can switch on the emergency switch only by touching a switch with his finger. The essence of this sensor is a touch sensor. The sensor can be realized using onl...

UPnP Bridge supporting diverse network interface has to meet standard requirements in order to be connected with legacy devices. It is able to provide or bridge a service description and device description according to a specification because IEEE1394 and USB have this standard requirements. But it is difficult to know whether it RS232C supports only serial communication and packet transfer. It need a document for the standard definition of communication protocol on UPnP device having such interface. By doing so, this document can understand device and packet type. This paper defines MFD(Message Field Description) and makes UPnP message converter. So it will be base to standardize supporting variable legacy device.

With the increasing number of chronic disease patients, the importance of everyday health care has grown more significant. The study researchers expected it would help for patients' health improvement and healthcare service expansion if users check their vital signs in their daily lives and send the results to a medical center's servers through a specific device automatically. This thesis, in line with this idea, seeks to develop a portable healthcare gateway. The gateway is designed in a USB type and can transmit standardized data, operating regardless of a user's location and Personal Healthcare Devices (PHDs). The developed portable healthcare gateway provides effective services in ubiquitous environments to customers, which will improve the health of chronic patients.
