In this paper, a digital inclinometer to measure the angle and acceleration signals of subject laid on Roll was designed. The designed system consists of a tilt sensor, biaxial accelerometer, single chip microprocessor and Bluetooth module. The designed digital inclinometer was easy to handle and to wear. To evaluate the performance of the system, we measured simultaneously the angle and acceleration signals from the 3 subjects on the Roll using two instruments which are ZEBRIS and designed system. The measured signals were processed by statistical method and then the correlation coefficient of 0.93 was shown. From the results, the designed digital inclinometer is shown to be useful in assessment of body movement.

In the conventional load transfer analysis for a steel pipe drilled shaft, it was assumed that the concrete's strain is the same as the measured steel's strain and the elastic modulus of the steel and the concrete calculated by the formular as prescribed by specification is used in the calculation of pile axial load. But, the pile axial load calculation by conventional method differed to some extent from the actual pile load. So, the behavior of a steel pipe drilled shaft could not be analyzed exactly. Thus, the necessity to measure the strain for each pile component was proposed. In this study, a new approach for load transfer measurement of large diameter drilled shafts was suggested ; the strain of each pile component(i. e., steel and concrete) was measured by DRS(Deformable Rod Sensor), the elastic modulus was determined by the uniaxial compression test for concrete specimens made at test site and a value of elastic modulus was evaluated as average tangential modulus corresponding to the stress level of the (0.2-0.6)$f_{ck}$. Field application was confirmed by the results of load transfer measurement tests for 3 drilled shafts. The errors for calculated pile head load were -11 ∼16% and 3.4% separately.

A Safety Monitoring System using a laser and 2-D arrayed photo sensors is developed. To monitor of the deformation and small rotation of structure the developed optical system using 2-D photo sensor array was used to detect the variation of optical orbit of laser which was induced by deformation of the structure. Also, an operating program to manage the system and an algorithm for the data acquisition and the database are introduced. In this study, we demonstrated the capabilities of this system by laboratory experiments before applying the system to the field.

This study presents the remote control of a board robot using an IMU sensor based on Bluetooth communication. The board robot is a kind of riding robot controlled throng wireless communication by a user. The user wears the proposed IMU sensor controller, and changes a direction of the robot by the angles of IMU sensor. Bluetooth is used for wireless communication between the board robot and its user. The IMU sensor in the remote controller is used for recognition of a number of actions, which are measured as analog signals. The user actions have five commands ('1'right '2'neutrality '3'left '4'operation '5'stop), which are transmitted from the user to the board robot through Bluetooth communication. Experimental results show that proposed IMU interface can effectively control the board robot.

사다리꼴 역기전력을 갖는 BLDC 모터 제어에 있어서, 전류 맥동의 문제가 가장 심각하다. BLDC 모터 제어의 많은 연구가 이 전류 맥동 문제를 개선하기 위하여 연구되어지고 있다. 맥동의 저감을 위하여 전류 전환 시간동안에 전류 전환시의 보상 PWM 듀티를 인가하는 방법으로 전류의 감쇠/상승 기울기를 같게 하여 맥동을 줄일 수 있는 방법이 연구되었다. 여기서 전류전환 시간을 측정하기 위해서는 전류 전환시작 시점의 상전류를 아는 것이 매우 중요하다. 상 전류를 측정하는 방법으로는 전류센서를 이용하는 방법이 보편적으로 사용되나 저항을 이용한 전류 검출 방법을 사용하면 스위치의 On/Off에 대하여 이산적인 전류를 측정하게 되는 문제점이 있을 수 있다. 다른 방법으로는 전기 모델을 이용하여 전류를 추정함으로서 전류 검출을 대신할 수 있다. 이러한 전류 추정기는 선형 방정식으로 모델을 구성할 수도 있고, 뉴럴네트웍으로 전류모델을 구성할 수도 있다. 선형방정식으로 구하여진 모델은 일반적으로 실제 시스템에 산재되어 있는 비선형 성분들을 모델 내에 포함시킬 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 뉴럴네트웍 모델을 이용하여 안정적이면서 매우 정확한 비선형 모델을 이용하여 비교적 간단한 방법으로 전류를 추정하고 이를 전류 맥동 저감 방법에 적용하여 전류 맥동 보상에 유용함을 보였다.

GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indication) radar system can detect ground moving targets and can provide position and velocity information of each target. However, the azimuth position of target has some offset because of the hardware errors such as mechanical tolerances. In this case, an error occurs no matter how accurate the monopulse ratio is. In this paper, target position correction method in azimuth direction has been proposed. The received sum and difference signals of monopulse GMTI system are post-processed to correct the target azimuth angle error. This method is simple and adaptive for nonhomogeneous area because it can be implemented by using only software without any hardware modification or addition.

본 논문은 휠체어의 탑승자의 구동력과 BLDCM(Brushless DC Motor) 에서 출력되는 보조력인 전기적인 구동력을 동시에 사용하는 탈부착형 수전동 휠체어의 제어기를 제안한다. 제안된 방식에서는 탈부착형 수전동 휠체어 제어기는 휠체어의 기울기와 휠체어의 상관관계를 바탕으로, 탑승자의 휠체어 림 구동 상태를 추정하여 휠체어의 전동력을 전달하는 BLDCM에서 구동력을 사용자의 지령에 따라 보조하도록 제어한다. 사용자의 요구 상태는 림의 구동에 따른 휠체어의 상태를 가속도, 자이로 센서를 이용해 측정을 하게 되고, 이를 상보필터를 사용해 각도를 보정하여, 지령치를 계산하고, 구동부는 지령치에 따라 휠체어에 필요한 전동력을 발생하게 된다. 탈부착형 수전동 휠체어의 제어방식은 시뮬레이션을 통해 가능성을 검증하였다.

With a rapid growth of smartphone technologies, various applications are developed and diffused actively nowadays. Especially, interesting applications using camera module in a smartphone are developed continuously, mobile users are able to use various useful mobile services in humdrum life. In this paper, we design and implement measurement algorithms which precisely measure the object taken by the camera module in a smartphone. We use 3-axis gyro accelerometer sensor in a smartphone to get the distance, incline and rotation angle in a real time when we take a picture of shooting object and can obtain precise size of it in the picture image. The measurement algorithms proposed in this paper are analyzed and evaluated by a simulation study.

In this study, experiments were conducted to investigate the correspondence between the output voltage of the photoelectric sensor and the frost height under heating and defrosting capacity test condition (dry bulb temperature $2^{\circ}C$, wet bulb temperature $1^{\circ}C$) described at KS C 9306, where a real heat exchanger was used as a test rig instead of a large-scale model. A digital microscope and a photoelectric sensor unit consisting of an emitter and a transistor (receiver) were installed in the front of it. A linear correlation is proposed to predict the frost height based on 150 experimental data, approximately 54% of the measured data are consistent with the predicted frost heights within a relative deviation of ${\pm}10%$, it yields good agreement with 90% of the measured data when the frost height larger than 0.3mm with in a relative deviation of ${\pm}10%$. Compared with Xiao's correlation, the slope namely, the change of frost height in accordance with the change of output voltage is consistent within the error of 2.3%. But vertical intercept shows big difference with Xiao's correlation, because it was developed with a large scale model instead of a real heat exchanger.

Bicycles are a pollution-free means of transportation. In addition to leisure, the use of bicycles is increasing as alternative eco-friendly transportation. Accordingly, bicycle accidents are also increasing. The purpose of this study is to implement bicycle black box technology to identify situation when a bicycle accident occurs. Currently, bicycle black box products are mainly based on video cameras, and are commercially available by adding various functions mainly on high resolution cameras and are sold at high prices. If a bicycle accident occurs, quantitative data on the accident location at the time of the accident and the state of the bicycle at the time of the accident is required. In this study, IMU sensor used to obtain acceleration and slope, and time and coordinates are obtained. In addition, real-time acceleration and tilt data while is stored in memory card and by using Bluetooth transmit to the smart phone owned by the in real time to prevent accidents and to monitor status.
