Portable artificial electronic nose (E-nose) system suffers from noisy fluctuation in surroundings such as temperature, vapor concentration, and gas flow, because its measuring condition is not controled precisely as in the laboratory. It is important to develop a simple and robust vapor recognition technique applicable to this uncontrolled measurement, especially for the portable measuring and diagnostic system which are expanding its area with the improvements in micro bio sensor technology. This study used a PDA-based portable E-nose to collect the uncontrolled vapor measurement signals, and applied the image matching algorithm developed in the previous study on the measured signal to verify its robustness and improved accuracy in portable vapor recognition. The results showed not only its consistent performance under noisy fluctuation in the portable measurement signal, but also an advanced recognition accuracy for 2 similar vapor species which have been hard to discriminate with the conventional maximum sensitivity feature extraction method. The proposed method can be easily applied to the data processing of the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) which are usually exposed to various operating conditions. Furthermore, it will greatly help to realize portable medical diagnostic and environment monitoring system with its robust performance and high accuracy.

A mobile robot with various types of sensors and wireless camera is introduced. We show this mobile robot can detect objects well by combining the results of active sensors and image processing algorithm. First, to detect objects, active sensors such as infrared rays sensors and supersonic waves sensors are employed together and calculates the distance in real time between the object and the robot using sensor's output. The difference between the measured value and calculated value is less than 5%. We focus on how to detect a object region well using image processing algorithm because it gives robots the ability of working for human. This paper suggests effective visual detecting system for moving objects with specified color and motion information. The proposed method includes the object extraction and definition process which uses color transformation and AWUPC computation to decide the existence of moving object. Shape information and signature algorithm are used to segment the objects from background regardless of shape changes. We add weighing values to each results from sensors and the camera. Final results are combined to only one value which represents the probability of an object in the limited distance. Sensor fusion technique improves the detection rate at least 7% higher than the technique using individual sensor.

The explosion of data due to the improvement of sensor technology and computing performance has become the basis for analyzing the situation in the industrial fields, and various attempts to detect events based on such data are increasing recently. In particular, sound signals collected from sensors are used as important information to classify events in various application fields as an advantage of efficiently collecting field information at a relatively low cost. However, the performance of sound-event classification in the field cannot be guaranteed if noise can not be removed. That is, in order to implement a system that can be practically applied, robust performance should be guaranteed even in various noise conditions. In this study, we propose a system that can classify the sound event after generating the enhanced sound signal based on the deep learning algorithm. Especially, to remove noise from the sound signal itself, the enhanced sound data against the noise is generated using SEGAN applied to the GAN with a VAE technique. Then, an end-to-end based sound-event classification system is designed to classify the sound events using the enhanced sound signal as input data of CNN structure without a data conversion process. The performance of the proposed method was verified experimentally using sound data obtained from the industrial field, and the f1 score of 99.29% (railway industry) and 97.80% (livestock industry) was confirmed.

Current speech recognition technology s achieved high performance with the development of hardware devices, however it is insufficient for some applications where high reliability is required, such as voice control of powered wheelchairs for disabled persons. For the system which aims to operate powered wheelchairs safely by voice in real environment, we need to consider that non-voice commands such as user s coughing, breathing, and spark-like mechanical noise should be rejected and the wheelchair system need to recognize the speech commands affected by disability, which contains specific pronunciation speed and frequency. In this paper, we propose non-voice rejection method to perform voice/non-voice classification using both YIN based fundamental frequency(F0) extraction and reliability in preprocessing. We adopted a multi-template dictionary and acoustic modeling based speaker adaptation to cope with the pronunciation variation of inarticulately uttered speech. From the recognition tests conducted with the data collected in real environment, proposed YIN based fundamental extraction showed recall-precision rate of 95.1% better than that of 62% by cepstrum based method. Recognition test by a new system applied with multi-template dictionary and MAP adaptation also showed much higher accuracy of 99.5% than that of 78.6% by baseline system.

The digital phase-locked loop(DPLL) is one of the circuits composed of a digital detector, digital loop filter, voltage-controlled oscillator, and divider as a fundamental circuit, widely used in many fields such as electrical and circuit fields. A state estimator using various mathematical algorithms is used to improve the performance of a digital phase-locked loop. Traditional state estimators have utilized Kalman filters of infinite impulse response state estimators, and digital phase-locked loops based on infinite impulse response state estimators can cause rapid performance degradation in unexpected situations such as inaccuracies in initial values, model errors, and various disturbances. In this paper, we propose a two-layer Frobenius norm-based finite impulse state estimator to design a new digital phase-locked loop. The proposed state estimator uses the estimated state of the first layer to estimate the state of the first layer with the accumulated measurement value. To verify the robust performance of the new finite impulse response state estimator-based digital phase locked-loop, simulations were performed by comparing it with the infinite impulse response state estimator in situations where noise covariance information was inaccurate.

This paper introduces a safer and more power efficient heater by using induction heating, to apply to the semiconductor wafer fabrication exhaust gas cleaning system. The exhaust gas cleaning system is currently made with filament heater that generates an endothermic reaction of N2 gas for the removal of moisture. Induction theory, through the bases of theoretical optimization and electronic implementation, is applied in the design of the induction heater specifically for the semiconductor wafer exhaust system. The new induction heating design provides a solution to the issues with the current energy inefficient, unreliable, and unsafe design. A robust and calibrated design of the induction heater is used to optimize the energy consumption. Optimization is based on the calibrated ZVS induction circuit design specified by the resonant frequency of the exhaust pipe. The fail-safe energy limiter embedded in the system uses a voltage regulator through the feedback of the MOSFET control, which allows the system performance to operate within the specification of the N2 Heater unit. A specification and performance comparison from current conventional filament heater is made with the calibrated induction heater design for numerical analysis and the proof of a better design.

OFDM is one of the promising modulation candidates for a fourth generation broadband mobile communication system because of its robustness against inter-symbol inteference(ISI). The OFDM transmission technique has the inherent flexibility to adapt the modulation scheme on each subcarrier according to the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). In this paper, the adaptive modulation scheme of OFDM system is proposed in broadband mobile channel. The proposed algorithm allocates initially the number of bits in each subcarrier using the threshold SNR according to the target BER and controls the total number of target bits using the well-known algorithm of Chow et al. In addition, the subcarriers of the proposed algorithm are clustered in blocks, that the signalling overhead can be reduced for the bit allocation of subcarriers. For the simulated experiments, this paper presents an evaluation for the effects of target BER, the various numbers of subcarriers in the subband block, and Doppler frequency on the performance of adaptive OFDM in broadband mobile channel.

현재 단대단(End-to-End) 비디오 서비스의 질을 높이기 위해 많은 연구가 각 계층별로 진행되고 있다. 전송계층에서의 오류 제어(Error Control), 네트워크계층에서의 QoS (Quality of Service)모델, 표현 및 응용계층에서의 오류 강인성(Error resilience)/오류 은닉(Error concealment) 등이 연구 개발되고 있다. 그러나 계층 간의 연관성이 높은 부분에서의 통합을 통한 성능향상에 관한 연구는 그 필요성과 효율에 비해 아직도 미흡하다. 본 논문은 QoS 서비스 모델하에서의 적응적 FEC(Forward Error Correction) 적용 및 우선순위에 따른 비디오패킷(VP ,VideoPacket)을 통하여 효율적인 계층화 비디오 스트리밍을 단대단 QoS성능의 향상에 관점을 맞추어 제안한다. 제안하는 방식은 최소 화질 보장과 같은 효율에서 보다 적은 가격에서의 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 통합형 서비스(IntServ, IS, Integrated Service) 의 자원예약을 사용하는 방법과 높은 가격의 자원 예약을 사용하지 않는 차별화 서비스(DiffServ, DS, Differentiated Service)를 적용했으며 이에 보장형 서비스의 특징을 공통을 가지기 위해 계층화 FEC를 적용하였으며 적절한 가격의 조절을 위하여 비디오패킷을 통한 데이터 분할을 적용하였다. 본 논문은 또한 최종 사용자의 만족도를 PSNR(Picture Signal to Noise Ration)과 PSNR에서 표현하지 못하는 부분의 평가를 위해 손상프레임율(DFR, Damaged Frame Ratio)과 오류프레임율(EFR,Error Frame Ratio)을 제안 이를 통해 평가하고자 한다. 제안하는 방식의 실험 결과는 비디오 코딩계층과 전송 계층, 네트워크 계층의 결합된 성능이며 이는 또한 화질의 개선뿐만 아니라 사용자의 가격문제에 대하여서도 비교 분석하였다.

The active devices used at microwave frequency have the different phase shift according to input power. Especially, The difference of the phase shift is large in the saturation region of the amplifier. In this paper, we disigned the phase control system for fixing the different phase shift at device. With the high frequency nonlinear amplifier, we fabricated such system that the phase shift to be fixed automatically using the varible phase shifter. The variable phase shifter fixed total phase variation of the circuit using the information that was obtained from the comparison of imputsignal phase with output signal phase. Even though the input signal is 2-tone or FM type, we could estimate and also fix the phase variation on DUT Dynamic range is about 10dB. It has been experimented at 1960MHz using Teflon (H=31mil, ${\varepsilon}r$=3.2)
