Electrical motors are an integral part of industrial plants with no less than 5 billion motors built world wide every year. The demand for low-cost brushless DC (BLDC) motors has increased in industrial applications. This paper presents a BLDC motor control algorithm for low-cost motor drive applications using general purpose microcontrollers which have only one on-chip timer. This paper describes how to realize pulse width modulation (PWM) signals with general input/output (I/O) ports to control a three-phase permanent magnet brushless DC motor using the timer interrupt on MSP430F1232.

Connected Dominating Set(CDS) has been used as a virtual backbone in wireless ad hoc networks by numerous routing and broadcast protocols. Although computing minimum CDS is known to be NP-hard, many protocols have been proposed to construct a sub-optimal CDS. However, these protocols are either too complicated, needing non- local information, not adaptive to topology changes, or fail to consider the difference of energy consumption for nodes in and outside of the CDS. In this paper, we present two Timer-based Energy-aware Connected Dominating Set Protocols(TECDS). The energy level at each node is taken into consideration when constructing the CDS. Our protocols are able to maintain and adjust the CDS when network topology is changed. The simulation results have shown that our protocols effectively construct energy-aware CDS with very competitive size and prolong the network operation under different level of nodal mobility.

Guest operating systems running over the virtual machines share a variety of resources. Since CPU is allocated in a time division manner it consequently leads them to having the unknown physical time. It is not regarded as a serious problem in the server virtualization fields. However, it becomes critical in embedded systems because it prevents guest OS from executing real time tasks when it does not occupy CPU. In this paper we propose a hypercall to register a timer service to notify the timer request related real time. It enables hypervisor to schedule a virtual machine which has real time tasks to execute, and allows guest OS to take CPU on time to support real time. The following experiment shows its implementation on Xen-Arm and para-virtualized Linux. We also analyze the real time performance with response time of test application and frames per second of Mplayer.

In this paper, we propose a new reliable broadcast protocol referred to as timer-based reliable broadcast (TRB) for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The proposed TRB scheme exploits (1) bitmap based explicit ACK to effectively reduce the unnecessary error control messages and (2) randomized timer for ACK transmission to substantially reduce the possibility of contentions. Although it has been argued that 100% reliability is not necessary in WSNs, there should be messages (such as mission-critical message, task assignment, software updates, etc.) that need to be reliably delivered to the entire sensor field. We propose to use the TRB algorithm for such cases. Performance evaluation shows that the TRB scheme achieves 100 % reliability significantly better than other schemes with expense of slightly increased energy consumption.

This study was carried out to establish proper irrigation standards by growth stages using integrated solar radiation (ISR) for strawberry hydroponics cultivation. The irrigation methods were automatically controlled when it reached ISR values based on the external solar irradiance. The ISR standards were set at 150 J·cm^-2 and 200 J·cm^-2, and as the last treatment, ISR value was changed from 200 J·cm^-2 to 150 J·cm^-2 according to growth stage. The timer-automated irrigation system was applied as a control. The monthly average irrigation frequency of 150 J·cm^-2, growth stages (150 J·cm^-2) treatment in March were 5.6 times, that of 200 J·cm^-2, growth stages (200 J·cm^-2) treatment in December were 2.7 times, and that of timer system was 3.6-3.8 times. The water use efficiency (WUE) of timer was 19.8 g·L^-1 lower than ISR. There was no significant difference in growth and fruit characteristics between ISR and timer. The total yield and rate of marketable fruit of treatments by growth stages was the highest 328 g/10 a and 85.3 %, respectively. Therefore, in case of strawberry hydroponic cultivation, controlling ISR by growth stages was more helpful to improve yield rather than applying same ISR standard during cultivation.

This paper proposes an efficient power consumption scheme using sleep mode in home gateway. The scheme by this paper classifies incoming real time packet and non-real time packet in home gateway and delay non-real time packet. Therefore, the home gateway can have longer sleep time because non-real time packet can get additional delay time by proposing mechanism using timer. We use non-preemptive two priority queueing model for performance analysis. As a results, we verify that power consumption of proposed scheme is reduced more than existing scheme by delay of non-real time traffic.

터널 발파를 원활히 수행하기 위해서는 암반조건에 적합한 합리적인 설계와 정밀한 천공, 정확한 기폭초시가 기본요소로서 이는 현재 국내 터널 설계.시공 기술 및 기자재의 발달로 만족할 만한 성과를 얻을 수 있다. 특히. 터널발파에서 정확한 기폭초시 부여는 굴진율 및 버럭 파쇄율, 굴착예정선 미려도, 잔여 암반 손상도 등의 시공성에서 뿐만 아니라 소음 및 진동 발생율을 좌우하는 환경적인 측면에서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 기폭요소는 최초 도화선을 활용한 공업뇌관에서 전기뇌관, 비전기식뇌관의 순으로 기폭안전성과 정밀성 면에서 눈부신 성장을 이룩하여 왔으며 특히, 90년대 초에 개발되어 전 세계적으로 최근까지 지속적으로 사용량이 급증하고 있는 전자뇌관은 기폭방식에 일대혁신을 이루었다. 전자기폭 시스템은 기존뇌관의 초시를 결정하는 화약성분의 지연요소 대신에 IC board(전자회로)에 의한 Digital timer로 신호를 발생하여 초시를 결정하는 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 국내 최초로 전자기폭시스템을 활용하여 2003년 9원 23일에서 동년 11월 2일까지 강원도 양구 지역의 $\bigcirc\bigcirc$터널에 전자뇌관을 이용한 시험발파를 실시하였고, 발파에 의한 진동 등을 조사하여 그 효율성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 전자뇌관의 특성과 장점을 최대한 샅리기 위하여 각공을 발파하는 방식, 즉 1지발에 1공을 발파하는 방식을 채택하고 일반 뇌관과 전자뇌관으로 설계를 하여 각각의 발파효율을 비교하여 보았다. 그 결과 발파진동의 경우 기존뇌관을 이용하여 1공씩을 1지발로 발파를 한 경우에는 18~56%의 진동저감 효과가 있었고. 본선 설계에 의해 진행된 발파에 비하여는 최대 70% 이상의 진동저감 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The third generation mobile communication needs to provide multimedia service with increased data rates. Thus an efficient allocation of radio and network resources is very important. This paper models the 'burst switching' as an efficient radio resource allocation scheme and the performance is compared to the circuit and packet switching. In burst switching, radio resource is allocated to a call for the duration of data bursts rather than an entire session or a single packet as in the case of circuit and packet switching. After a stream of data burst, if a packet does not arrive during timer2 value ($\tau_{2}$), the channel of physical layer is released and the call stays in suspended state. Again if a packet does not arrive for timerl value ($\tau_{1}$) in the suspended state, the upper layer is also released. Thus the two timer values to minimize the sum of access delay and queuing delay need to be determined. In this paper, we focus on the decision of $\tau_{2}$ which minimizes the access and queueing delay with the assumption that traffic arrivals follow Poison process. The simulation, however, is performed with Pareto distribution which well describes the bursty traffic. The computational results show that the delay and the packet loss probability by the burst switching is dramatically reduced compared to the packet switching.
