We designed lightweight image sensor nodes that can get image data as next-generation IoT devices, and verified usefulness. This sensor module made in a small hardware has good power consumption performance and can execute long time performance. Captured image data was once stored in the smartphone, then the data was sent to the cloud server via the Internet. That server can extract valid information from the image data for obtaining effective information by using enough CPU resource. Our total system reduces cost, and achieves lightweight, small size and low power consumption, and moreover realizes scalability and versatility. So our proposed system will become one of good solution for the next generation IoT system.

This research proposes an identification method of sensor reactions using the Internet standard protocol: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) in sensor networks. We have developed Optical Sensory Nerve network (OSN) with optical fiber sensors in order to solve issues on electricity and communication limitations in wireless sensor networks. Although OSN has used a commercial device with SNMP functions to detect the sensor reactions in previous research, there are issues about limited performance scalability. This paper describes SNMP Agent software using the protocol and examines whether the software can expand a scale of the OSN application.

We propose the use of laterally graded channel doping and High-K Spacers positioned on both sides of gate oxide to improve the Performance and thereby, the scalability of Junctionless Nanowire Field Effect Transistors (JLNWFET). The performance parameters of the device considered in this study are ION/IOFF ratio, Drain-Induced Barrier Lowering (DIBL) and Sub Threshold Slope (SS). Using extensive 3-D TCAD simulations, we have analyzed that the OFF-state leakage, DIBL and SS can be reduced owing to the combined use of laterally graded-doping channel and High-k Spacers.

The aim of this work is to provide dialogical information for hearing-impaired people. In this paper, we developed a portable caption support system consisting of a see-through head mounted display (HMD), a directional microphone array, and a speech recognition system. For users' convenience, the dialogical information of the person in the front was captioned as a result of the directional characteristic of the microphone array. With these interfaces, the proposed system would provide the complementary dialogical information.

We propose a scheme to detect blurry edge and compute sharpness measure. The key is color line model which models a pixel color is the linear mixture of two dominant colors in small patch. K-means clustering with principal component analysis is exploited to classify colors into two groups. Dominant color is defined as average color of group. Subsequently, weighting of color is computed. In this work, weighting is available for blurry edge detection, and color difference between synthesized color and original color is available for sharpness measure. The proposed scheme has better performance in blurry edge detection and sharpness measurement.

This paper presents the design, performance evaluation and comparative analysis of different types of Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET). Different CNTFET namely Schottky Barrier, Partially gated, Conventional, and Tunnel CNTFET are simulated using NanoTCAD ViDES. The simulation results are presented and devices have been compared on the basis of different parameters i.e. ION/IOFF ratio, transconductance, inverse subthreshold slope. It has been found that Conventional gives the highest ION/IOFF ratio, Tunnel and Partial gated gives steep inverse subthreshold slope but Tunnel benefits with well controlled OFF state. Partial gated gives highest transconductance.

In this work, we present a novel approach to estimate core temperature with a wrist-worn sensor and ambient sensors. Our approach estimates core temperature by combining biological and ambient information with a human thermal model which formulates heat production in a body and heat transfer between human body core, skin, and the environment based on thermal physics. For increasing accuracy, we update individual parameters in the model online by leveraging skin temperature as a reference. From real experiments, we have found a positive result showing that our method improves the accuracy by 12% to the default individual parameter set.

In the transmission, digital images often disturbed by various interferences, leading to the image corrupted severely. For the better visual quality and the further use in digital image processing systems, noises must be removed. In this study, the proposed scheme can efficiently remove fixed-valued and random-valued impulse noise sources while preserving image edges. It has better image quality than those of the conventional linear and non-linear filters. The proposed scheme also maintains the edge of the restoration image due to preserving image edge details. Because its procedure is simple, it is suited for real-time applications and hardware implementation.

A sit-to-stand (STS) movement is important to understand how the balance function of a rehabilitation patient is recovered. For analyzing a STS movement, we propose a system to visualize center of pressure (COP) and base of support (BOS) information while a patient standing from a seated position. Our system consists of (1) load sensors to obtain COP of both standing and seating position and (2) sheet and pressure sensors to obtain BOS of both buttock on the chair and feet on the feet boards. A prototype system has been tested by occupational and physical therapists worked in rehabilitation hospitals and has been used in practical treatment for rehabilitation patients. We report the results of our questionnaire of those experiments.
