It is essential to investigate the structure and the main characteristics of BSN (Bio-Sensor Network) platform in built smart healthcare environment while designing healthy housing facilities. For this study, WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) data transmission technologies have been employed with medical sensors, and optimal medical devices would provide various Web 2.0 services by connecting to the WiBro network. The BSN platform normally recognizes in surroundings of WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) or WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network), and it is possible to manage sensor nodes by utilizing SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (REpresentational State Transfer). In addition, the feature of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for mobile gateway is also included for being adapted to huge network structure. Finally, BSN platform will play a role as important clues for developing personal WSN service models for smart healthy housing properties.

본 논문에서는 주기 및 비주기 태스크의 효율적인 관리를 제공하는 실시간 센서 노드 플랫폼을 설계하고 구현하였다. 기존 센서 노드의 소프트웨어 플랫폼은 제한된 센서 노드의 자원을 효율적으로 사용하기 위하여 메모리 및 전력 소비량의 최소화에만 초점을 두었기 때문에 태스크의 실시간성과 빠른 평균 응답시간을 보장하는 실시간 센서 노드의 소프트웨어 플랫폼에는 적합하지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 소프트웨어 플랫폼으로 많이 사용되고 있는 TinyOS 기반에서 태스크의 실시간성과 빠른 평균 응답시간을 보장할 수 있는 기법과 한계를 분석하였으며, 모든 주기 태스크가 마감시한 내에 실행이 완료되는 것을 보장하고 비주기 태스크의 응답시간을 최소화하는 실시간 센서 노드 플랫폼을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 플랫폼은 Atmel사의 초경량 8비트 마이크로프로세서인 Atmega128L이 탑재된 센서 보드에서 구현되었다. 구현된 실시간 센서 플랫폼의 성능을 분석한 결과, 모든 주기 태스크의 마감시한 보장을 제공함과 동시에 향상된 비주기 태스크의 평균 응답시간과 낮은 시스템의 평균 처리기 이용률을 확인할 수 있었다.

SAW Device 라는 Passive 소자는 ID Tag나 소형센서들을 대체할 수 있는 MEMS 기술의 초소형 Device 다. 이 SAW Device를 이용하면 독립된 공간이나 전원이 필요한 센서 제어 등을 대신할 수 있을 것이다. 이렇게 활용범위가 확대됨에 따라 다양한 SAW Device를 사용하기 위한 플랫폼이 요구된다. 하지만 현재 SAW Sensor는 많은 발전을 해왔지만 SAW Sensor를 활용할 수 있는 플랫폼의 발전은 미흡하기 때문에 본 논문에서는 이러한 SAW Device를 측정할 수 있는 SAW Reader를 FPGA를 이용하여 좀 더 간단하고 효율적인 Reader platform을 구현해 보고자 한다.

Economic burden of work-related musculoskeletal disorder(WMDs) is increasing. Known causes of WMDs include improper posture, repetition, load, and temperature of workplace. Among them, improper postures play an important role. A smart sensor called SensorTag is employed to estimate the trunk postures including flexion-extension, lateral bend, and the trunk rotational speeds. Measuring gravitational acceleration vector in the smart sensor along the tri-orthogonal axes offers an orientation of the object with the smart sensor attached to. The smart sensor is light in weight and has small form factor, making it an ideal wearable sensor for body posture measurement. Measured data from the smart senor is wirelessly transferred for analysis to a smartphone which has enough computing power, data storage and internet-connectivity, removing need for additional hardware for data post-processing. Based on the estimated body postures, WMDs risks can be conviently gauged by using existing WMDs risk assesment methods such as OWAS, RULA, REBA, etc.

The energy constraint is still a common issue for the practical application of wireless sensors, since they are usually powered by batteries which limit their lifetime. In this paper, a practical compound energy efficiency strategy is proposed and realized in the implementation of a real time wireless sensor platform. The platform is intended for wireless structural monitoring applications and consists of three parts, wireless sensing unit, base station and data acquisition and configuration software running in a computer within the Matlab environment. The high energy efficiency of the wireless sensor platform is achieved by a proposed adaptive radio transmission power control algorithm, and some straightforward methods, including adopting low power ICs and high efficient power management circuits, low duty cycle radio polling and switching off radio between two adjacent data packets' transmission. The adaptive transmission power control algorithm is based on the statistical average of the path loss estimations using a moving average filter. The algorithm is implemented in the wireless node and relies on the received signal strength feedback piggybacked in the ACK packet from the base station node to estimate the path loss. Therefore, it does not need any control packet overheads. Several experiments are carried out to investigate the link quality of radio channels, validate and evaluate the proposed adaptive transmission power control algorithm, including static and dynamic experiments.

In this paper, path generation using the sensor platform is proposed. The sensor platform is composed two electric motors which make panning and tilting motions. An algorithm fur a real path form and an obstacle length is realized using a scanning algorithm to rotating the sensors on the sensor platform. An ARV (Autonomous Robot Vehicle) is able to recognize the given path by adapting this algorithm. In order for the ARV to navigate the path flexibly, a kinematic model needed to be constructed. The kinematic model of the ARV was reformed around its body center through a relative velocity relationship to controllability, which derives from the nonholonomic characteristics. The optimal controller that is based on tile kinematic model is operated purposefully to track a reference vehicle's path. The path generation algorithm is composed of two parks. On e part is the generating path pattern, and the other is used to avoid an obstacle. The optimal controller is used for tracking the reference path which is generated by recognizing the path pattern. Results of simulation show that this algorithm for an ARV is sufficient for path generation by small number of sensors and for low cost controller.

This paper deals with the forward kinematics of the 6-6 Stewart platform of planar base and moving platform using one extra linear sensor. Based on algebraic elimination method, it first derives an 8th-degree univariate equation and then finds tentative solution sets out of which the actual solution is to be selected. In order to provide more exact solution despite the error between measured sensor value and the theoretic alone, a correction method is also used in this paper. The overall procedure requires so little computation time that it can be efficiently used for real-time applications. In addition, unlike the iterative scheme e.g. Newton-Raphson, the algorithm does not require initial estimates of solution and is free of the problems that it does not converge to actual solution within limited time. The presented method has been implemented in C language and a numerical example is given to confirm the effectiveness and accuracy of the developed algorithm.
