We present a digital dilution chip comprising a $2{\times}6$ array of wells; the chip can be employed to change the dilution ratio as well as to initiate reactions among diluted samples by using the inter-well valve around the well. In previous dilution devices, streams comprising sample and dilution solutions were merged and separated by a branched microchannel. Therefore, the dilution ratio could not be changed until the structure of the branched microchannel was changed. The present device merges and splits the wells filled with sample or dilution solution by controlling inter-well valves around the wells. Thus, it is possible to change the dilution ratio by changing the sequence in which merging and splitting sequence of each well filled with sample or dilution solution. In experiments, we found that the chip could be used to change linear or exponential dilution ratios within an error of 16.7% and to initiate reactions among the samples within a reaction error of 17.7%.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a video processor for the device of need TV-OUT function. The designed video processor satisfies the standard conditions of ITU-R(International Telecommunication Union-Radiocommunication) BT.470. Also, in order to apply various digital device, we concentrate upon hardware complexity. ITU-R BT.470 can be classified as NTSC, PAL or SECAM. NTSC and PAL use QAM(Quardarature Amplitude Modulation) to transmit color difference signals and SECAM uses FM(Frequency Modulation). FM must have antic-cloche filter but filter recommended by ITU-R BT.470 is not easy to design due to sharpness of the frequency response. So this paper proposes that the special quality of anti-cloche filter is transformed easy to design and the modulation method is modified to be identical with the result required at standard. The processor can control power consumption by output mode to apply portable digital devices. The proposed processor is experimentally demonstrated with ALTERA FPGA APEX20KE EP20K1000EBC652-3 device and SAMSUNG LCD-TV.

The multi-screen image system could make the audiences appreciate contents without special devices by expansively composing the images played on a single screen to many facets suitable for the use, which could provide the great immersiveness to the audiences. Based on the recent interest in realistic images, it is produced as films through the multi-projection technology such as Screen X or Escape, and it is developed into the media that could deliver stories and information. Also, the size of display tends to gradually get larger while the image quality is improved to high definition. Thus, the development is accelerated in the form of Digital Signage that could play the high definition image contents by solidly composing many HD or UHD display screens. Moreover, through the convergence of digital technologies, it is developed into the higher value-added industry that could have two-way communication. This study aims to understand the developmental history of multi-screen image from 1950 to the present, technical analysis, and the production method, and then to research how to minimize the image degradation when playing the contents, in various platforms using the multi-screen image.

Recently, many industrial devices are facing protocol compatibility problems with external monitoring and control systems. This paper designed an industrial communication gateway that can support the transformation of industrial communication protocol using multi-layered communication module. Industrial communication gateways have a structure that connects individual communication modules using rs485 serial communication to multiple layers. Each communication module consisted of analog data card, a digital data card LAN, and a CAN-enabled card. The main board processor used Atmega micro-processor, and the rs485 serial slot was placed to have a multi-layer communication module structure. These additive layer type communication modules support analog and digital I/O functions and LAN and CAN for wide use in industrial communication control and monitoring.

Over the past three years, even amidst viral threats, a notable shift towards online interactions has been observed. This trend persists the presence of significant viral concerns. Our study centered on female office workers in their twenties and thirties in Korea, seeking to comprehend how they enhance and present their external image in the digital era. We explored the use of digital devices and fashion choices that enable them to amplify their self-expression in video conferences. Using a mix of surveys and in-depth interviews, we employed snowball sampling to recruit twelve participants. These women were given the opportunity to shape their digital persona either to uphold their current image or to adapt it for interactions where they weren't face-to-face. Their desired images fell into three distinct categories: an authoritative professional image, a clean modern image, and a natural image. Depending on the context, the participants aimed to convey these images independently or in various combinations. Our findings suggest the need to develop strategies for acknowledging and projecting individual fashion identities in non-face-to-face interactions. Such strategies would empower individuals to better align their online personas with their desired self-image, whether it's professional, modern, clean, natural, or a combination thereof.

Today's rapidly developing health technology is accumulating vast amounts of data through medical devices based on the Internet of Things in addition to data generated in hospitals. The collected data is a raw material that can create a variety of values, but our society lacks legal and institutional mechanisms to support medical Big Data. Therefore, in this study, we looked at four major factors that hinder the use of medical Big Data to find ways to enhance use of the Big Data based healthcare industry, and also derived implications for expanding domestic medical Big Data by identifying foreign policies and technological trends. As a result of the study, it was concluded that it is necessary to improve the regulatory system that satisfies the security and usability of healthcare Big Data as well as establish Big Data governance. For this, it is proposed to refer to the Big Data De-identification Guidelines adopted by the United States and the United Kingdom to reorganize the regulatory system. In the future, it is expected that it will be necessary to have a study that has measures of the conclusions and implications of this study and to supplement the institutional needs to play a positive role in the use of medical Big Data.
