An LED lighting control system was developed to combine information technology and LED lights for efficient management and energy savings. The system can monitor and control the status of an LED luminaire using Bluetooth wireless communication, sensor technology, and smart phones. An LED lighting control circuit was designed using a temperature sensor, illumination sensor, and Bluetooth module with a fuzzy constant-current control circuit. We extended the lifetime and prevented damage to the LED by optimizing the supply current of the LED luminaire based on the heat-generation temperature of $70^{\circ}C$ of an LED heat sink. We also automatically adjusted the ON/OFF time depending on the ambient illumination of the LED luminaire. By allowing easy control of the LED luminaires on a smartphone, we improved the efficiency and achieved energy savings. The control system was validated through experiments for normal operation.

The objective of this study is to identify the quantitative relationships among the important physical factors associated with failure of steel members under strong seismic excitations through very low-cycle fatigue tests. Very low-cycle fatigue is meant to be structural fatigue causing cracks and rupture in about 5~30 cycle ranges. The angle specimen was subjected to repeated axial Ioad after undergoing inelastic buckling. The test results reveal that the energy absorption capacities vary heavily with the history of loading and the failure mode. The maximum values of residual local strain at the initiation of a visible crack due to the very low-cycle fatigue were of the order of 25~40%, regardless of loading patterns, deflection modes, and width-to-thickness ratios.

Field experiments for Conservation damage on selected spots were carried out prior to direct conservation treatments for Bangudae Petroglyphs in Ulsan. It was found that there is a big difference in treatment effects according to the treatment technique and application rather than on the treatment material use. Based on the results of this study, a plan for the conservation treatment of Bangudae Petroglyphs will be suggested by providing new materials and application techniques for cracks, adhesive application and consolidation by conducting artificial weathering tests and continued monitoring.

Most watermarking schemes for video contents protection have been studied to increase watermark's robustness and invisibility against such compressions and many kinds of signal processing after embedding copyright information to the original contents. This paper proposes an active watermarking that infect watermark to contents in the video decoding process using embedded infectious watermark and control signals from a video encoder side. To achieve this algorithm, we design a kernel based watermarking in video encoder side that is possible to recover the original contents and watermark in watermark detection procedure perfectly. And then, by reversible de-watermarking in video decoder side, we design the active watermark infection method using detected watermark and control signal. This means that our system can provide secure re-distributions of video contents without any quality degration and watermark bit error against transcoding or re-encoding processing. By experimental results, we confirmed that the embedded watermark was infected by video contents and codec perfectly without any declines of compression ratio and video quality.

In this study, muscle activity was measured using surface EMG (sEMG) during a voluntary maneuver (ankle dorsiflexion) in the supine position was compared pre and post gait training. Nine patients with incomplete spinal cord injury participated in a supported treadmill ambulation training (STAT), twenty minutes a day, five days a week for three months. Two tests, a gait speed test and a voluntary maneuver test, were made the same day, or at least the same week, pre and post gait training. Ten healthy subjects' data recorded using the same voluntary maneuvers were used for the reference. sEMG measured from ten lower limb muscles was used to observe the two features of amplitude and motor control distribution pattern, named response vector. The result showed that the average gait speed of patients increased significantly (p〈0.1) from 0.47$\pm$0.35 m/s to 0.68$\pm$0.52 m/s. In sEMG analysis, six out of nine patients showed a tendency to increase the right tibialis anterior activity during right ankle dorsiflexion from 109.7$\pm$148.5 $mutextrm{V}$ to 145.9$\pm$180.7 $mutextrm{V}$ but it was not significant (p〈0.055). In addition, only two patients showed increase of correlation coefficient and total muscle activity in the left fide during left dorsiflexion. Patients' muscle activity changes after gait training varied individually and generally depended on their muscle control abilities of the pre-STAT status. Response vector being introduced for quantitative analysis showed good Possibility to anticipate. evaluate, and/or guide patients with SCI, before and after gait training.

Slippage of beam longitudinal reinforcement at beam-column connections is an important cause of damage to reinforced concrete frames under static and dynamic loads, This paper summarizes the results of an experimen¬tal study on the effects of confinements and compressive strength of concrete on the local bond stress-slip cha¬racteristics of deformed bars. I t is concluded from experimental results that, as far as the bond splittmg cracks are restrained by the vertical column reinforcement, confinement of concrete by transverse reinforcement has insignigicant direct effect on the local bond behavior. The ultimate bond strength, however, Increases pro¬portionally with the square root of concrete compressive strength. An empirical model was developed for local bond st ressslip relationslip of deformed bars in confined concrete of different compressive strengths.

일반적으로 태양전지 및 반도체 공정에서 불순물 주입 과정인 도핑(Doping)공정은 크게 몇 가지 방법으로 구분해 볼 수 있다. 소성로(Furnace)를 이용하여 열을 통해 불순물을 웨이퍼 내부로 확산시키는 열확산 방법과 진공 챔버 내부에서 전자기장을 걸어 이온을 극도로 가속시켜 진행하는 이온 주입(Ion implantation)이나 이온 샤워(Ion shower)를 이용한 도핑 방법이 있다. 또한 최근 자외영역 파장의 레이저광을 조사하여 광화학 반응에 의해 도펀트 물질를 분해하는 동시에 조사 부분을 용해하여 불순물을 도포하는 기법인 레이져 도핑(Laser doping) 방법이 개발중이다. 그러나 레이져나 이온 도핑 공정기술은 고가의 복잡한 장비가 필요하여 매출 수익성 및 대량생산에 비효율적이며 이온 주입에 의한 박막의 손상을 치료하기 위한 후속 어닐링(Post-annealing) 과정이 요구되는 단점을 가지고 있고 열확산 도핑 방법은 정량적인 불순물 주입 제어가 어렵고 시간 대비 생산량의 한계가 있다. 반면 대기압 플라즈마로 도핑을 할 경우 기존에 진공개념을 벗어나 공정상에서 보다 저가의 생산을 가능케 할 뿐아니라 멀티 플라즈마 소스 개발로 이어진다면 시간적인 측면에서도 단연 단축시킬 수가 있어 보다 대량 생산 공정에 효과적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 새로운 도핑 방법인 대기압 플라즈마를 이용한 도핑 공정기술의 가능성을 제안하고자 도핑 공정 시 웨이퍼 내 전류 패스(Current path)에 대한 메카니즘을 연구하였다. 대기압 플라즈마 방전 시 전류가 웨이퍼 내부에 흐를 때 발생되는 열을 이용하여 도핑이 되는 형식이란 점을 가정하고 이 점에 대한 원리를 증명하고자 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 방식은 그라운드(Ground) 내 웨이퍼의 위치와 웨이퍼 내 방전 위치에 따라 적외선 화상(IR image: Infrared image) 화상을 서로 비교하였다. 적외선 화상은 실험 조건에 따라 화상 내 고온의 표식이 상이하게 변하는 경향성을 나타내었다. 이 고온의 표식이 전류 패스라는 점을 증명하고자 시뮬레이션을 통해 자기장의 전산모사를 한 결과 전류 패스의 수직 방향으로 자기장이 형성이 됨을 확인하였으며 이는 즉 웨이퍼 내부 전류 패스에 따라 도핑이 된다는 사실을 명백히 말해주는 것이며 전류 패스 제어의 가능성과 이에 따라 SE(Selective Emitter) 공정 분야 응용 가능성을 보여준다.

Most of the concrete bridge structures are exposed to damage due to the excessive traffic loading and the aging of the structure. The damage of concrete causes the further deterioration of the function in the concrete structure due to corrosion of the reinforced bars and decohesion between the concrete and the reinforced bar. The quick rehabilitation of the damaged concrete structures has become of great importance in the concrete structural system in order to avoid the further deterioration of the structures. Recently fiber sheets are used for strengthening the damaged concrete structures due to its many advantages such as its durability, non-corrosive nature, low weight, ease of application, cost saving, control of crack propagation, strength to thickness ratio, high tensile strength, serviceability and aesthetic. However, the lack of analytical procedures for assessing the nominal moment capacity by the fiber sheet reinforcement leads to difficulties in the effective process of decisions of the factors in the strengthening procedure. In this work, flexural strengthening effects by fiber sheets bonded on bottom face of the member are studied for the reinforced concrete T beam. In addition, auxiliary flexural strengthening effects by U-type fiber sheets bonded on bottom and side faces of the member to prevent delamination of the bottom fiber sheet are theoretically investigated. The analytical solutions are compared with experimental results of several references to verify the proposed approach. It is shown that the good agreements between the predicted results and experimental data are obtained.

Cement concrete pavement offers long-term service life and excellent applicability for heavy traffic. It is easier to purchase and more durable and economical than the asphalt pavement. However, it is difficult to repair and rehabilitate compared to the asphalt pavement when it comes to the maintenance problem. Since the crack is the main reason of the damage of concrete pavement, it is necessary to control the early and long-term crack in the concrete pavement. In this experimental study, the basic performance tests have been carried out to investigate the effect of hybrid fibers which were composed of micro fibers with small diameter and high aspect ratio and macro fibers with large diameter and low aspect ratio on the concrete pavement, in which lower water ratio and larger aggregates were used compared to the general concrete mixture. The test results showed that the flexural strength and toughness of concrete pavement mixture have been increased with the use of hybrid fibers in the concrete pavement mixture, even though they were less effective compared to the normal concrete mixture. It was found that the hybrid fibers were effective to control the early shrinkage of the concrete pavement which is one of the main reasons of the damage in the concrete pavement.
