The battery management apparatus includes a sensitivity determiner configured to determine sensitivity of a battery state based on sensed battery information and previous battery state information, and an execution parameter adjuster configured to adjust a parameter for estimating the battery state based on the determined sensitivity of the battery state.
Abstract:
A device for detecting an interference signal includes an estimator configured to estimate a mean value of received signals output from an analog-digital converter (ADC), a filter configured to filter a low frequency band of the received signals using the estimated mean value to produce filtered received signals, a detector configured to detect, from the filtered received signals, interference signals using a coherent modulation scheme and a non-coherent modulation scheme, and a combiner configured to determine whether interference exists in a frequency channel in response to a result of the interference signal detecting using the coherent modulation scheme and the non-coherent modulation scheme, based on a preset condition.
Abstract:
An optical sensor includes light sources configured to emit light, a substrate on which the light sources are mounted, the substrate comprising holes in regions on which the light sources are mounted, and a first photodetector configured to receive a first light emitted from a front surface of each of the light sources, the first light being reflected or scattered from an object. The optical sensor further includes at least one second photodetector configured to receive a second light emitted from a rear surface of each of the light sources, the second light passing through the holes corresponding to the light sources.
Abstract:
Provided are a hub, a relay node, and a node for reconfiguring an active time position of a node in a WBAN. An active time position of the node may be reconfigured based on information associated with an active time position of a candidate relay node that the node desires to use as a relay node.

Abstract:
A minimum energy coding method and apparatus that includes obtaining groups of bits from a bitstream and finding a mapping rule between the groups of bits and codewords that is chosen to maintain a DC balance. For example, the bitstream may be a bitstream corresponding to a biosignal.
Abstract:
A communication method of a coordinator in a bidirectional event transmission sensor network comprising a sensor node and the coordinator is provided. The method includes sensing, in an uplink section, whether a signal having energy greater than or equal to a predetermined magnitude is received, the signal indicating occurrence of an uplink event detected by the sensor node, and transmitting, to the sensor node in a downlink section, a synchronization packet that is used for receiving the uplink event or for transmitting a downlink event in response to the coordinator detecting the downlink event or sensing the signal having energy greater than or equal to the predetermined magnitude in the uplink section. The bidirectional event transmission sensor network has a structure of a super frame that includes at least one standby slot (SS) including the uplink section and the downlink section.
