Applying the gyroscopic technology, HeadZmouse has been developed to simulate left and right mouse click, double click, drag and drop, and even a wheel function for navigating web. This device was designed to work on both PC and Macintosh environments using a USB cable. The first time you use this device, you'll find out how much freedom it offers to someone who can't use his or her hands freely. Rather than being tied to your computer, simple manipulation such as blowing an air (breathing) into a sonic sensor can simulate all the functions which standard mouse has, even including a wheel function. Also, a macro-interface device has been developed. By storing repetitive tasks into a memory, you can carry out repetitive tasks just by clicking a button once.

This paper proposes a middleware structure for the module-based personal robot, which can run on heterogeneous network interfaces and provides users easy interface-method regardless of underlying heterogeneous interfaces and convenient exchange of modules. The proposed middleware is divided into three layers of a streaming layer (SL), a network adaptation layer (NAL) and a network interface layer (NIL). The streaming layer manages application transactions using middleware services and provides user a uniform interfaces to the proposed middleware. The network adaptation layer manages a message-routing and provides naming service and it is a core of the proposed middleware. And the network interfaces layer manages dependent parts of heterogeneous network interfaces such as IEEE1394, USB, Ethernet, and CAN (Control Area Network). This paper implements the proposed middleware structure, where 3 types of interfaces of IEEE 1394, USB and Ethernet are used, and measures response times among those interfaces.

A recent major development in computer technology is the advent of the wearable computer system that is based on human-centric interface technology trends and ubiquitous computing environments. Wearable computer systems can use the wireless universal serial bus (WUSB) that refers to USB technology that is merged with WiMedia PHY/MAC technical specifications. In this paper, we focus on an integrated system of the wireless USB over the wireless body area networks (WBAN) for wireless wearable computer systems supporting U-health services. To construct the WUSB over WBAN communication systems, we propose a WBAN beaconing structure to assign WUSB communication periods. In the proposed structure, WUSB uses private periods of WBAN. In our performance evaluations, we compare theoretical results and simulation results about throughputs of WUSB under various WBAN channel occupations to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed structure in WUSB over WBAN communications.

The architecture and the implementation details of a UTMI(USB2.0 Transceiver Macrocell Interface) compatible USB2.0 transceiver chip were presented. To confirm the validation of the incoming data in noisy channel environment, a squelch state detector and a current mode Schmitt-trigger circuit were proposed. A current mode output driver to transmit 480Mbps data on the USB cable was designed and an on-die termination(ODT) which is controlled by a replica bias circuit was presented. In the USB system using plesiochronous clocking, to compensate for the frequency difference between a transmitter and a receiver, a synchronizer using clock data recovery circuit and FIFO was designed. The USB cable was modeled as the lossy transmission line model(W model) for circuit simulation by using a network analyzer measurements. The USB2.0 PHY chip was implemented by using 0.25um CMOS process and test results were presented. The core area excluding the IO pads was $0.91{\times}1.82mm^2$. The power consumptions at the supply voltage of 2.5V were 245mW and 150mW for high-speed and full-speed operations, respectively.

본 논문에서는 FPGA를 사용하여 진행파형 초음파 모 터의 2상 입력 전원 전압의 주파수, 위상차, 진폭 및 2 상간의 전압차 조절이 가능하고, 8대의 초음파 모터를 동 시에 제어할 수 있는 8채널 USB통신 PC기반 초음파 모터 디지털 제어기를 제안한다. 제안한 제어기는 FPGA를 이용 한 디지털 논리에 의해 출력을 발생하기 때문에 PC로부 터 직접 제어 명령을 입력 받아 각각의 파라미터를 실시 간으로 조절할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 둘 이상의 파라미터 를 동시에 조절이 가능하다. 또한, PC와의 인터페이스는 USB통신 방식을 채택하여 제어 명령의 전달속도 향상 및 플러그 앤 플러그 방식을 통해 데스크 탑 컴퓨터는 물론 휴대용 컴퓨터나 PDA와 같은 다양한 플랫폼에서 사용할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 또한, 초음파 모터의 속도 및 위치를 계측하기 위해 사용된 로터리 엔코더 카운터 회로를 FPGA회로에 내장시켜 카운터를 위한 별도의 회로 구성이나 장비 구입의 필요성을 배제하였다. 따라서, 생산 단가 및 부피를 현저히 감소시켰다.

The period and strength of the pulse on the radial artery are important physiological factors, and they have been used to diagnosis in both Western and Eastern countries for a long time and has been developed as a unique method of diagnosis at each countries. Recently, there are a lot of systems which can give diagnosis information by recording the pulse wave and analyzing the characteristics of the pulse shape. This study describes the Pulse-Wave Measurement System which is able to measure the pulse wave signal using piezoresistive sensor and the pulse wave signal measured by the developed system is transmitted to a computer on the basis of the USB Driver. It has finally shown the the pulse wave signal measured by the sender is appeared to the host PC in real time. The Pulse-Wave Measurement System used the piezoresistive sensor to measure the pulse wave signal and the differential amplifier(AD620) to amplify the pulse wave signal which is small signal. And it used the ADC to convert analog to digital for the measured analog signal and the interface with a computer. It transmitted the measured pulse signal through USB transmission module to the host computer and Labview tool shows it. This Pulse-Wave measurement system will afford comvenience of detecting pulse wave to user related to oriental medicine.

The way to develop an IoT device is to mount the sensor required by the application on a platform such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi, and write the sensor driver and application. At this time, if the driving driver for the sensor has already been written and the application can access the driver as a standardized API, then Plug&Play of the sensor will be possible. The old way to do this is because the sensor interface is too complicated to use on the current platform. In this paper, when a standardized sensor and driver with a USB terminal are plugged into the Raspberry Pi, we propose a method for automatically installing the driver. Application developers can get sensor values through Linux's file access API without worrying about sensor drivers. The proposed technique is currently being implemented on Raspberry-Pi.

Recently, it becomes usual that several sensor accessories are attached to the USB port of smart phones. In this paper, we propose a sensor accessory plug@play platform for easing the attachment of it to the usb port in a smart phone. Sensor developers make sensor modules which obey the standard of sensor interface and write the device driver of it using the standard APIs. The sensor application for the smart phone is made using the web app style. The device drivers and sensor web applications are stored in the sensor web server. When a user plugs the sensor module into the usb port, the device driver and sensor web are retrieved automatically from the server and it is played. We believe that our platform activates the development of sensor accessories for smart phones.
