We propose and implement a single-wire communication protocol for thermal management systems using thin film thermoelectric modules for 3D IC cooling. The proposed single-wire communication protocol connects the temperature sensors, located near hot spots, to measure the local temperature of the chip. A unique ID number identifying the location of each hot spot is assigned to each temperature sensor. The prototype chip was fabricated by a $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS MPW process, and the operation of the chip is verified.

This paper introduces a sea environmental monitoring system for measuring pH,DO, level and temperature. This system is developed using a personal computer(PC) and multiple single board computers. A PC communicates with the single board computers by awireless communication method and transfers data to another personal computer for processing data by a modem. The values of pH,Do,level and temperature, which are basic components to estimate sea environment, are real-timely processed in the single board computer at each stations, and transferred to the monitoring PC. These data are graphically shown on the PC monitor and logged on the data processing system in the form of file. Using the wire and wireless communication system, user can constantly analyze the acquired data and detect the sea contamination.

This paper presents a method to improve Li-ion battery charging speed for portable electronic devices maintaining stable operating temperature. The proposed method uses multiple chargers which consist of a master module and slave modules designed with single wire communication signal for parallel current path in order to simplify the additional hardware needs. A single wire communication signal control between a master module and slave modules makes the number of pins of parts lowered and the required area small, furthermore leading to lower cost. Therefore the proposed charging method can be practically used for implementing battery charging modules requiring high speed Li-ion battery charging.

Power plants maintenance data is to be sent to management server system via a communication network. In this case, reliable communication network is required. Transmission of the power plants maintenance data is used in the wired communication network or wireless communication network. PLC communication network is a kind of wired communication network. However PLC communication network is easily affected by noise. On the vulnerable areas in power line system, such as a mountain or rural areas, it is difficult to form a power line communication network. For a wireless communication, environment are also influenced factors in wireless communication. Harsh environmental factors are bring the communication characteristic degradation. In such areas it can be used a combination of two networks and in this way the complementary function can be achieved. Power plants are distributed in various regions across the country. The appropriate communication network is needed to maintain the power plant.This study investigated the effect of environment on the wired communication and wireless communication. It would examine a variable factor which is affect to the communication characteristic. We used PLC communication for wired communication network and ZigBee communication for wireless communication network. We investigated the characteristics of a single communication network and it raised the need for a complex communication technology to complement a single communication network.

Current major photovoltaic (PV) market share (> 60%) is being occupied by the multicrystalline (mc)-silicon solar cells despite of low efficiency compared to single crystalline silicon solar cells. The diamond wire sawing technology reduces the production cost of crystalline silicon solar cells, it increases the optical loss for the existing mc-silicon solar cells and hence its efficiency is low in the current mass production line. To overcome the optical loss in the mc-crystalline silicon, caused by the diamond wire sawing, next generation texturing process is being investigated by various research groups for the PV industry. In this review, the limitation of surface structure and optical loss due to the reflectivity of conventional mc-silicon solar cells are explained by the typical texturing mechanism. Various texturing technologies that could minimize the optical loss of mc-silicon solar cells are explained. Finally, next generation texturing technology to survive in the fierce cost competition of photovoltaic market is discussed.

In this paper, we propose a fuse controller which is used for storing the optimal value or the correction value for the surrounding product of the IoT applications and it is implemented serial communication circuit using a single pin. Because of the proposed single pin protocol is simpler in the hardware than the conventional $I^2C$ and SPI using two or more pins, it is suitable for the area of small amount of data transmission. The function of the one pin protocol is verified by logic simulation and the FPGA test board and it is fabricated using CMOS 0.35um technology. It is expected to use the IoT product that require the low power consumption and simple hardware.

In this paper, we designed microstrip patch antenna to enhance the weak point of general microstrip patch antenna that has narrow bandwidth and analyzed that. To reduce reactance in probe feed antenna, capacitive gap added to the patch. Using single patch and auxiliary wire, makes dual frequency resonant. So bandwidth is improved and gain also becomes higher. To verify with experiment, PCS band antenna is designed, fabricated. For PCS band antenna, bandwidth is 180 MHz in VSWR<1.5 and gain is 8.6 dBi.

Recently, the increasing need for internet and the activation of hiring business of communication line makes the demand for OPGW cable which can construct the optical communication network in the basis of existing overhead power transmission line. Especially, the demand is focused on the high fiber count OPGW due to high capacity transmission.

In this paper, we implemented 2-wire (data gnd) RS232C serial communication interface by applying the Collision Sensing Multiple Access(CSMA) Protocol. The transmitting and receiving wires of RS232C pert are connected together by the interface circuit forming data wire without hardware modification On two-wired common channel connection simultaneous transmission Don mere than two hosts causes data collision. The collision is detected by loop-back test of transmission data comparing with the fed back data to detect the data distortion. Various models are adopted to reduce the probability of retransmitted data collision and experiments show the performance of each cases. Due to allowing multiple hosts to be accessed through the common communication channel with minimum circuit addition the result of this paper can be easily applied for conventional RS232C instruments and machines to connect to the single data communication line.
