An aging environment measurement apparatus measures aging environment data within an oak barrel and transmits the measured aging environment data within the oak barrel to a server, and the aging environment measurement apparatus is mounted in a bung of the oak barrel.

Apparatus and method for measuring aging environment

A mobile terminal in a sensor network selects one of the sensors nodes in the sensor network as an upstream agent, and piggybacks a list of neighboring sensor nodes found in the upstream agent selection process on an upstream packet and transmits the upstream packet to a gateway through the upstream agent. The gateway in the sensor network selects one of the neighboring sensor nodes as a downstream agent using state information of the neighboring sensor nodes in the list, and transmits a downstream packet to the mobile terminal through the selected downstream agent.

Communication apparatus and method for mobile terminal communication through a sensor network

An apparatus for controlling power of sensor nodes based on estimation of power acquisition, includes: a self power acquisition unit acquiring self power; an internal sensing unit sensing power acquired from the self power acquisition unit and consumed power; a power cut-off unit cutting-off power for each component of the sensor nodes; and a microprocessor receiving information of acquired power and consumed power from the internal sensing unit to analyze a supply and demand of power, estimating the acquired power using annual meteorological statistics data and recent weather forecast data, controlling power for each component of the sensor nodes through the power cut-off unit according to the estimation of the acquired power, and controlling a sensing period and a communication period of the sensor nodes.

Apparatus for controlling power of sensor nodes based on estimation of power acquisition and method thereof

Provided are a sensor node included in a sensor network, an update server updating the sensor node, and a method of updating a sensor node. The update server updating a sensor node included in a sensor network includes an execution code manager managing execution codes for a plurality of sensor nodes included in the sensor network, a rule generator generating an update rule based on a result of comparing an existing execution code managed by the execution code manager with an update execution code required for a new function update of the sensor node, and a downloader causing the sensor node to download the update rule generated by the rule generator. Accordingly, an execution code can be updated by a small amount of data transmission.

Sensor node included in sensor network, update server updating the same, and method of updating sensor node

Provided are a gateway apparatus for providing multi-channel functionality in a sensor network, and a method and an apparatus for interfacing using serial peripheral interface (SPI) in the gateway apparatus. The SPI interfacing apparatus is connected to a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units, and receives a data frame via an SPI to output the data frame to a wireless transmit/receive unit, based on information regarding selection of the wireless transmit/receive unit, wherein the information is contained in the data frame. Then, the SPI interfacing unit receives data frames from the wireless transmit/receive units to output the data frames in a predetermined order via an SPI. Thus, the wireless transmit/receive units for providing multi-channel functionality can interface a signal processing unit by using an SPI method.

A memory management apparatus and method for storing data in units of various packet sizes in appliances utilizing memory devices are provided. The memory allocation apparatus includes data memory which includes a plurality of data blocks, each of which includes a plurality of sub data blocks having a predetermined size, and when there is a request for allocating memory space of a variable size, allocates memory space in units of any one of the sub data blocks and the data blocks, a free list memory which manages an free memory space of the data memory as at least one or more lists, and registers that store head location information and tail location information of the list.

Apparatus and method for controlling memory allocation for variable size packets

A method for managing a content addressable memory (CAM) look-up table using the longest prefix matching (LPM) is provided. The method includes providing a pair of pointers per every band of data having the same prefix in length, wherein one of the pair of pointers stores the address of data having the lowest address in each band of data, and the other pointer of the pair of pointers stores the next higher address of data having the highest address in each band of data; and making a space in which data is to be added in the CAM look-up table by moving data having the addresses stored in the pair of pointers provided per each band of data that has a shorter prefix length than the prefix length of the data to be added, when data is added to the CAM look-up table. According to the method, it is possible to easily and efficiently add new data into the look-up table of the CAM.

Method and apparatus for managing LPM-based CAM look-up table, and recording medium therefor

The present invention relates to a memory allocation method using multi-level partition, which is capable of analyzing an allocation-requested fixed size to be used as a basic allocation unit, dividing the memory into a plurality of blocks, subdividing each of the blocks into the same number of subblocks and designating subblocks having the same orders in different blocks with the same pointer value. The memory allocation method according to the present invention comprises the steps of analyzing an allocation-requested fixed size to be used as a basic allocation unit and dividing the memory into a plurality of blocks, subdividing each of the divided blocks into one or more subblocks of the same size, the divided blocks being subdivided into the same number of subblocks, designating each of the subblocks having the same orders in different blocks with the same pointer value, and allocating the subblocks designated with the same pointer value as one memory space.
