In this paper, we describe an implementation of small mobile robot that can be used at research and application of mobile sensor networking. This robot that will constitute the sensor network, as a platform of multi-robot system for each to be used as sensor node, has to satisfy restrictions in many aspects in order to perform sensing, communication protocol, and application algorithms. First, the platform must be designed with a robust structure and low power consumption since its maintenance after deployment is difficult. Second, it must have flexibility and modularity to be used effectively in any structure so that it can be used in various applications. Third, it must support the technique of wireless network for ubiquitous computing environment. At last, to let many nodes be scattered, it must be cost-effective and small. Considering the above restrictions of the mobile platform for sensor network, we designed and implemented robots control the current of actuator by using additional circuit for power efficiency. And we chose MSP430 as MCU, CC2420 as RF transceiver, and etc, that have the strength in the aspect of power. For flexibility and modularity, the platform has expansion ports. The results of experiments are described to show that this robot can act as sensor node by RF communication process with Zigbee standard protocol, execute the navigation process with simple obstacle avoidance and the moving action with RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator), operate at low-power, and be made with approx. $100.

Floods are among the most common natural hazards in urban areas. To mitigate the problems caused by flooding, unstructured data such as images and videos collected from closed circuit televisions (CCTVs) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been examined for flood management (FM). Many computer vision (CV) techniques have been widely adopted to analyze imagery data. Although some papers have reviewed recent CV approaches that utilize UAV images or remote sensing data, less effort has been devoted to studies that have focused on CCTV data. In addition, few studies have distinguished between the main research objectives of CV techniques (e.g., flood depth and flooded area) for a comprehensive understanding of the current status and trends of CV applications for each FM research topic. Thus, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature that proposes CV techniques for aspects of FM using ground camera (e.g., CCTV) data. Research topics are classified into four categories: flood depth, flood detection, flooded area, and surface water velocity. These application areas are subdivided into three types: urban, river and stream, and experimental. The adopted CV techniques are summarized for each research topic and application area. The primary goal of this review is to provide guidance for researchers who plan to design a CV model for specific purposes such as flood-depth estimation. Researchers should be able to draw on this review to construct an appropriate CV model for any FM purpose.

본 논문에서는 PMIC 칩에 사용되는 BCD 공정기반에서 5V NMOS 트랜지스터와 기억소자인 eFuse 링크로 구성된 저면적의 5V NMOS-Diode eFuse OTP 셀을 제안하였다. 그리고 eFuse OTP 메모리 IP가 넓은 동작전압 영역을 갖도록 하기 위해서 VREF 회로와 BL S/A 회로의 풀-업 부하 회로에 기존의 VDD 파워 대신 voltage regulation된 V2V ($=2.0V{\pm}10%$)의 전압을 사용하였다. 제안된 VREF 회로와 BL S/A회로를 사용하므로 eFuse OTP IP의 normal read 모드와 program-verify-read 모드에서 프로그램 된 eFuse 센싱 저항은 각각 $15.9k{\Omega}$, $32.9k{\Omega}$으로 모의실험 되었다. 그리고 eFuse OTP 셀에서 blowing되지 않은 eFuse를 통해 흐르는 읽기 전류를 $97.7{\mu}A$로 억제하였다. 그래서 eFuse OTP 셀의 unblown된 eFuse 링크가 unblown 상태를 그대로 유지되도록 하였다. 동부하이텍 130nm BCD 공정을 이용하여 설계된 1kb eFuse OTP 메모리 IP의 레이아웃 면적은 $168.39{\mu}m{\times}479.45{\mu}m(=0.08mm^2)$이다.

본 논문에서는 power IC에서 파워가 ON되어있는 동안 입력 신호인 RD(Read) 신호 포트에 glitch와 같은 신호 잡음이 발생하더라도 파워-업(power-up)시 readout된 DOUT 데이터를 유지하면서 다시 읽기 모드로 재진입하지 못하도록 막아주는 IRD(Internal Read Data) 회로를 제안하였다. 그리고 pulsed WL(Word-Line) 구동방식을 사용하여 differential paird eFuse OTP 셀의 read 트랜지스터에 수 십 ${\mu}A$의 DC 전류가 흐르는 것을 방지하여 blowing 안된 eFuse 링크가 EM(Electro-Migration)에 의해 blowing되는 것을 막아주어 신뢰성을 확보하였다. 또한 program-verify-read 모드에서 프로그램된 eFuse 저항의 변동을 고려하여 가변 풀-업 부하(variable pull-up load)를 갖는 센싱 마진 테스트 기능을 수행하는 동시에 프로그램 데이터와 read 데이터를 비교하여 PFb(pass fail bar) 핀으로 비교 결과를 출력하는 회로를 설계하였다. $0.18{\mu}m$ 공정을 이용하여 설계된 8-비트 eFuse OTP IP의 레이아웃 면적은 $189.625{\mu}m{\times}138.850{\mu}m(=0.0263mm^2)$이다.
