The number of passive components used in hand held devices and computers continue to increase so that the passive to active ratio continues to grow. Embedded passives are the best technology for very high component density with increased electrical performance. improved reliability, reduced size, weight and lower cost. Specially embedded capacitors are strongly under development. This paper discusses dielectric materials used in embedded capacitors and remained challenges.

The number of layers in rigid PCB(printed circuit board) is restricted, so the number of components can be embedded in module is restricted also. But using flexible multilayer PCB, the layers over than 7 can be evaluated. In this study, to verify the possibility of application of flexible multilayer PCB to RF modules, multilayered embedded capacitor is fabricated and analyzed. The characteristics of embedded capacitor is analyzed and compared to that of MLCC and LTCC capacitor. Embedded capacitor has better electrical features than MLCC and compatible one to LTCC capacitor.

Reliability evaluation is important task in embedded system. It can avoid potential failures and manage the vulnerable components of embedded system effectively. Dynamic fault tree analysis is one of the reliability evaluation methods. It can represent dynamic characteristics of a system such as fault & error recovery, sequence-dependent failures. In this paper, the steering system, which is embedded system in vehicles, is represented using dynamic fault tree. We evaluate the steering system using approximation algorithm based on Simpson's rule. A set of simulation results shows that proposed method overcomes the low accuracy of classic approximation method without requiring no excessive calculation time of the Markov chain method.

Ther are many stages of the development for the embedded systems' hardware and software as well, which results in many test stages of it with respect to corresponding development stages. The software validation of embedded systems is taken into consideration for the testers to make sure that the systems work correctly after the deployment. Among test stages, especially control logic level testing and system validation testing are considered as the most important test, because the robustness of embedded systems' software can be validated by those two level of tests. in this paper, we would like to introduce the idea of how software test system for embedded systems can be established and of what necessary components are needed

Aerosol Deposition(AD) method is based on the impact consolidation phenomenon of ceramic fine particles at room temperature. AD is promising technology for the room temperature deposition of the dielectrics thin films with high quality. Embedding of passive components such as capacitors into printed circuit board is becoming an important strategy for electronics miniaturization and device reliability, manufacturing cost reduction. So, passive integration using aerosol deposition. In this study, we examine the effects of the characteristics of raw powder on the thickness, roughness, electrical properties of $BaTiO_3$ thin films. Thin films were deposited on the copper foil and copper plate. Electrical and material properties was investigated as a change of annealing temperature. We final aim the effects of before and after of laminated on the electrical properties and suit of embedded capacitor.

Through the AUTOSAR methodology, the embedded software shall become more flexible, reusable, maintainable than ever. However, it is not mentioned about specific timing constraints of software components in AUTOSAR. There are a few basic principles for mapping runnable entities. At this point, AUTOSAR software design with optimal scheduling method is one of the enabling technologies in vehicle embedded system. This paper presents an approach based on mapping runnable entities and task scheduling design method for EPS (Electric Power Steering) software components, based on AUTOSAR. In addition, the experimental results of concurrent simulation show that the proposed scheduling technique and timing synchronization in the software component design can achieve the improved torque ripple performance and it well suited for EPS application software.

Prefabricated reinforced-concrete shear walls are used extensively in building structures because they are convenient to construct and environmentally sustainable. To make large walls easier to transport, they are divided into smaller segments and then assembled at the construction site using a variety of connection methods. The present paper proposes a precast shear wall assembled using steel shear keys, wherein the shear keys are fixed on the embedded steel plates of adjacent wall segments by combined plug and fillet welding. The anchoring strength of shear keys is known to affect the mechanical properties of the wall segments. Loading tests were therefore performed to observe the behavior of precast shear wall specimens with different anchoring components for shear keys. The specimen with insufficient strength of anchoring components was found to have reduced stiffness and lateral resistance. Conversely, an extremely high anchoring strength led to a short-column effect at the base of the wall segments and low deformation ability. Finally, for practical engineering purposes, a design approach involving the safety coefficient of anchoring components for steel shear keys is suggested.

In spite of the various techniques on the testing of embedded software, operation failures of embedded systems such as robot or satellite applications, are occurred frequently. The critical reason of these failures is due to the fact that software is embedded into a target system with inherent faults. Therefore, in order to prevent the failure owing to such faults, it needs a technique to test the embedded software which operates in real environment. In this paper, we propose a testing technique, aspect-based On-the-Fly testing that is to test the functionality and performance at real operation time. Our proposed technique gives some benefits of real test of unexpected input conditions, prevention of software malfunction, and reusability of aspect components for the testing.

In this paper, an experimental investigation for return loss and a software-based prediction for interference level of single-packaged filtering antenna composed of dielectric waveguide filter and PCB(Printed Circuit Board) slot antenna in transceiver module have been carried out with several different feeding structures in millimeter-wave regime. The implementation and embedding method of the existing air-filled waveguide filters working at millimeter-wave frequency on general PCB substrate have been described. In a view of the implementation of each components, the dielectric waveguide embedded in PCB and LTCC(Low Temparature Co-fired Ceramic) substrates has employed the via fences as a replacement with side walls and common ground plane to prevent energy leakage. The characteristics of several prototypes of filtering antenna embedded in PCB substrate are considered by comparing the wideband and transmission characteristics as a function of bent angle of transmission line connecting two components. In addition, as an essential to the packaging of transceiver module working at millimeter-wave, miniaturization technology maintaining the performances of independent components and the important problems caused by integrating and connecting the different components in different layers are described in this paper.
